WEATHER

Jet steam slows on Prairies Weather systems may settle in for the long haul

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Residents of eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba witnessed a rare event on the Prairies in late June of 2014: a three-day summer rain.

The skies opened on a Friday and the rain fell until Sunday, dumping 125 to 200 millimetres of moisture and swamping cropland throughout the region.

A 72-hour rainfall may be nothing in Seattle, Washington, or Prince Rupert, B.C., but it is peculiar in North America’s Great Plains.

There is no simple explanation for rain that won’t go away, but changes in the jet stream may be a factor.

“We know, in the Northern Hemisphere, the jet stream since the 1990s is about 15 percent less speedy,” said David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada.

Bayer makes bid for Monsanto Analysts suggest the takeover price could be near US$70 billion NEW YORK/FRANKFURT (Reuters) — Bayer has made an unsolicited takeover proposal to Monsanto, aiming to create the world’s biggest agricultural supplier and take advantage of converging pesticides and seed markets.

Monsanto disclosed the approach

May 18 before Bayer confirmed its move, though neither released proposed terms.

The US$42 billion market capitalization of Monsanto means the deal would likely eclipse ChemChina’s planned acquisition of Syngenta — a target Monsanto itself pursued last year — and could

face U.S. antitrust hurdles.

A Monsanto statement said its board was reviewing the proposal, which is subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals and other conditions. There is no assurance that any transaction will take place, it added.

There was no further information

available byWestern Producer deadlines for the May 26 issue.

Bayer shares dropped after the deal was announced with some investors worried by the potential cost of a deal. Monsanto’s share price increased.

SEAN PRATT REPORTS FROM THE GLOBAL PULSE CONVENTION IN CESME, TURKEY, ABOUT WHAT IS DRIVING PULSE MARKETS

PROMOTING PULSES

UN declaration reaps instant pulse benefits The industry is happy with the International Year of Pulses

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CESME, Turkey — The impact of the International Year of Pulses is exceeding industry expectations.

“This has gone beyond my own imagination,” said Hakan Bahceci, former president of the Global Pulse Confederation and the man who led the charge to get the designation from the United Nations.

He said pulses have been forgotten crops for years, but now they are in the global limelight because of a full year of events celebrating the health and environmental benefits of eating pulses.

There have been 141 events in 36 countries, and the year is only half over. The IYOP committee has raised more than $10 million to fund the activities.

Andrew Jacobs, chair of the United Kingdom’s IYOP promotion group, said the biggest impact has been on social media.

“We are delighted to know we have reached over 300 million impressions for the IYOP campaign since its launch,” he told delegates attending the 2016 Global Pulse Convention in Cesme.

The IYOP organizing committee had set a target of 20 to 40 million impressions.

“In less than half a year, we have exceeded 10-fold our full year expectations,” he said.

The Jan. 6 Pulse Feast event generated seven million tweets that reached 25 million people.

As well, there have been 5.2 million active on-line engagements on social media.

“By engagements, we mean people not just seeing what we’re saying but doing something such as liking, downloading, retweeting, et cetera,” said Jacobs.

Two-thirds of the web traffic on the www.pulses.org website has been directed through social media promotions. There have been 203,516 visits to the site.

“Connecting with consumers has never been this accessible or affordable,” Jacobs said. sean.pratt@producer.com

FARM SAFETY LEGISLATION

Members named to Bill 6 groups The groups will make recommendations on implementing Alberta’s farm worker safety law

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Alberta government took the next step to implement its controversial farm safety act May 20 by announcing the appointees to its consultation process.

Seventy-eight people have been assigned to six groups tasked with developing recommendations on h ow t h e g ov e r n m e nt s h o u l d implement changes to employment standards, occupational health and safety and labour relations relating to farmers and farm workers.

Progress on the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act, also known as Bill 6, had been on hiatus after a series of protests and highway blockades organized by farmers nevertheless culminated in passage of the bill in December.

Members of agricultural commodity groups and organizations formed the Ag Coalition in January, designed to represent farmer and rancher interests in details and implementation of the bill.

The coalition put forward the names of people it wanted to serve in government consultation.

Twenty-three of them were selected, including the two co-chairs, Kent Erickson of Irma and Page Stuart of Vegreville.

In a news conference May 20, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier said the six groups

would begin meeting in June, but neither he nor Labour Minister Christina Gray indicated a timeline by which they expect recommendations.

“Sooner better than later, I suppose,” said Carlier.

“I am looking for input from the industry.… There’s no standard set of specs in agriculture, so we’re looking forward to being able to write those regulations on occupational health and safety.… We’re looking forward to the recommendations, whatever those might be.”

Stuart, co-chair of the Ag Coalition that comprised a wide range of agricultural groups and interests, said she and other coalition members need more information about the process.

“We’re looking for there to be increased transparency about the process, and right now I think we still have a number of questions we’re looking to have answered.

“But we are also committed to being in the conversation because this has huge impact on us as a community. These discussions are engaging a lot of people in the agriculture community, and that’s positive, but it’s also at a time that I think none of us budgeted for right now.”

A news release from the coalition reiterated Stuart’s theme.

“The Ag Coalition says more information is required on the terms of reference and mandate of the Bill 6 consultation tables before

We’re looking for there to be increased transparency about the process, and right now I think we still have a number of questions we’re looking to have answered.

PAGE STUART AG COALITION

it can determine if the process is likely to result in regulations that make sense for those who will be affected the most: farmers, ranchers and their employees,” it said.

Rick Strankman, the shadow agriculture minister for the Wildrose official opposition, said in a news release that he would review the list of appointees “to ensure that they properly represent the farmers and ranchers of our province.… I continue to have concerns that any positive work that may come out of consulting with actual farmers and ranchers will be superseded by the NDP government on this legislation.”

Controversy arose after the NDP government announced Bill 6 last year, which would affect employment standards, labour law, workers compensation and occupational health and safety legislation as it affects agricultural operations and workers.

Many in the industry said the government was moving ahead without proper consultation and feared it would affect their farm management and productivity.

In response, the government announced plans for more extensive consultation regarding the chapter and verse of legislation, culminating in the May 20 announcement of working groups.

The groups have 12 members and a chair with each chair chosen to be “an independent and impartial individual with demonstrated mediation, consensus and board governance experience,” the government said in its announcement.

Each group also appears to include at least one farm worker and at least one union representative, in addition to farmers and members of commodity groups and the agricultural industry.

Two of the groups will review existing requirements and exceptions for occupational health and safety as it applies to agricultural operations.

Others will deal with the Employment Standards Code, the Labour Relations Code, OH & S best practices for agriculture and OH & S education, training and certification.

The full list of people appointed to the working groups can be found at www.alberta.ca/farm-andranch-consultations.cfm.

MONSANTO RESEARCH

Resistance breakthrough in works?

NEWS

WHO MISSED THEIR TURN?

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Monsanto believes it has found a way to permanently stay ahead of insect and herbicide resistance.

The company has licensed a technology from Harvard University that allows it to rapidly change its insect and weed killing proteins if they are overcome by pests.

“I think it’s a real game changer for the industry,” said Tom Malvar, insect control discovery lead with Monsanto.

The technology will initially be used to bolster the company’s bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) crops.

Pests such as the fall armyworm, corn rootworm and pink bollworm have overcome the resistance genes in B.t. crops.

Monsanto’s B.t. proteins work by binding receptor proteins in the gut of insects, which kills them.

Insects become resistant when those receptor proteins mutate and the B.t. protein simply passes through the digestive system.

Harvard’s phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE) technology allows Monsanto to make the same B.t. protein bind to an alternative receptor and allow the gene to start working again.

It can also make a protein that binds to two different receptors, making it twice as hard for insects to become resistant.

The traditional way for researchers to combat resistance was to find a new protein in the wild that was capable of making changes to the B.t. protein.

However, the changes are often subtle, and many attempts are required to get desired results. It can also take more than a year to get the protein to the desired state, and there is no guarantee necessary proteins will be found in the wild.

“With PACE, it’s basically minimal hands-on time from a researcher and you can achieve that same end result in sometimes as little as a month,” said Malvar.

The results of the joint HarvardMonsanto research project have been published in Nature.

“We’ve demonstrated that we can do it,” he said.

Malvar said it is early days for the PACE project. A product likely won’t be commercialized for 10 years or more. However, if the technology works as anticipated, it will provide a long-term solution to the vexing resistance problem.

It will give Monsanto a “shelf full” of new laboratory-derived proteins that can be deployed on a regular basis to combat resistance.

“This is about long-term product durability,” he said.“The other exciting thing about this PACE technology is we see it has application beyond insect control.”

The technology can be used to combat herbicide resistance, fight disease and help plants deal with environmental stresses. PACE will be able to optimize performance of any trait involving a protein.

Malvar expects the technology will be subject to regulatory oversight. sean.pratt@producer.com

JET STREAM SLOWS ON PRAIRIES » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “That means the weather systems tend to move across the country at a slower pace.”

Phillips said the jet stream once resembled a skipping rope, pulled tight, with cold air to the north and warmer air to the south.

These days, the jet stream often looks like a roller coaster, dipping southward into the continental United States.

DAVID PHILLIPS CLIMATOLOGIST

“The jet stream is more loopy.…

Instead of looking like a straight line … it goes up and down,” Phillips said.

“That also creates the issue of (weather) blocking. You get a weather system that just hangs out for too long … and some places get stuck in a particular weather system.”

It’s not an established fact, but a few climate specialists now believe that warming temperatures in the Arctic are affecting the jet stream and causing periods of unseasonably warm, cold, wet or dry weather across North America.

Jennifer Francis, a Rutgers University climate scientist, said the wavy jet stream contributed to the extremely cold winter of 2015 in

the eastern U.S. “We think with the warming Arctic, these types of very wavy patterns, although probably not in the same locations, will happen more often in the future,” she said.

“When the jet stream has large northward bulges (called ridges), strong Arctic warming intensifies the ridge, causing it to be more persistent.”

Phillips said the relationship between a warmer Arctic and the jet stream is only a theory, but temperature differences between the Arctic and the south do provide energy for the jet stream.

“The greater that difference (in temperature), the stronger the jet stream.”

Conversely, the jet stream slows and becomes wavy if the temperature gradient between north and south is less. In turn, the jet stream may cause weird weather to stick around for days or weeks, such as seven days of above zero temperatures in Winnipeg in January.

There is some evidence to support the notion that weather is lasting longer in Western Canada. John Pomeroy, a University of Saskatchewan Canada research chair in water resources and climate change, found there’s been a 50 percent increase in multi-day rains on the Prairies.

“It starts raining on a Thursday and it’s still raining on a Saturday, from the same system.”

That type of weather pattern, where rain or heat persists, is unusual in Canada.

“I’ve always said the best thing about Canadian weather … is that it hits and runs,” Phillips said.

“It doesn’t stand around and

clobber you, like in other parts of the world.”

A number of experts question the jet stream theory because strange and persistent weather could be explained by year to year variability. Francis admitted the data set is too small to make definite conclusions.

“Rapid Arctic warming started very recently, so detecting a clear atmospheric response and linking it to a particular cause may take another decade. In the meantime, Mother Nature seems to be acting out.” robert.arnason@producer.com

AGRONOMY

Enzyme discovery said to double plant growth Scientists aiming to transfer a corn enzyme into arabidopsis to increase starch, also saw yields increase up to 50 percent

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

University of Guelph scientists have released a study that appears too good to be true.

Researchers in the university’s molecular and cellular biology department say they have discovered a starch enzyme that doubles a plant’s growth and increases seed production by 400 percent.

The finding may lead to substantially higher yields in oilseed crops such as canola, soybeans and camelina if the biologists can transfer the enzyme into commercial crops.

“Even if the effects in a field-grown crop were less, such as only a tenth of what we’ve seen in the lab, that would still represent an increase in yield of 40 to 50 percent,” said professor Michael Emes, who made the discovery with U of G colleagues Ian Tetlow and Fushan Liu.

The three researchers wrote in a paper published in March in Plant Biotechnology Journal that the discovery was an accident.

They were studying starch biosynthesis and wanted to know if a starch branching enzyme in corn could help a model plant, arabidopsis, form starch in its leaves.

Starch biosynthesis is the process where a plant converts sunlight into starch.

The enzyme did indeed increase the amount of starch in the leaves when the scientists transferred it into arabidopsis, an oilseed plant.

But something else happened.

“When we looked at the plants … they were huge. They were about twice the size of the normal arabidopsis plant,” Tetlow said. “We got a huge increase in growth rate and a huge increase in biomass.”

The treated plants also produced many more flowers and an incred-

ible number of seeds. The seed yield in arabidopsis is typically 11,000 seeds per plant, but the transformed plants with the corn enzyme produced more than 50,000 seeds.

We’re very excited.

Because clearly we’re seeing a real phenomenon.

IAN TETLOW UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH SCIENTIST

The seeds were about 10 percent smaller, but the yield increase was still more than 400 percent.

Tetlow and his colleagues initially didn’t believe what they saw. So they did the experiment again and again.

“We did this many times, through

many lines (of arabidopsis),” Tetlow said. “(And) you don’t lose this gain through subsequent generations (of plants). The plants are now in the fifth or sixth generation and … we’re still getting this huge increase.”

The biologists must now answer two questions: • Why is the starch enzyme causing the yield gain?

• Is it possible to duplicate this result in a commercial oilseed crop?

Tetlow said they don’t know what’s causing the incredible growth rate and seed production in the arabidopsis plant.

“Visually, it’s difficult to argue with it. You can actually look and see the difference in the size of the plant and hence the number of seeds,” he said.

“What’s difficult for us to understand is … how you apparently gain

so much biomass and yield with the same input.”

The biologists are also figuring out how to move the corn enzyme into canola, a close relative of arabidopsis. They have approached crop science companies for funding, but the answer has been no.

“There’s been interest (from) companies but most … don’t want to touch it because it’s arabidopsis,” Tetlow said. “They’ve told us they will be interested when we’ve done this in a crop, (but) it takes funding and time to do that.”

They have also applied to Genome Canada for support and are expecting a response this year.

In the meantime, the scientists remain hopeful.

“We’re very excited,” Tetlow said.

“Because clearly we’re seeing a real phenomenon.” robert.arnason@producer.com

BAYER MAKES BID UBS Global Asset Management, which Reuters data shows is among Bayer’s 30 biggest investors, said it was “deeply concerned” about the burden on Bayer ’s finances from a takeover, saying it would prefer the companies to agree on a joint venture or a nilpremium merger.

Deutsche Bank analysts said a deal could shift Bayer’s centre of gravity to agriculture, accounting for 55 percent of core earnings, up from 28 percent last year, excluding the Covestro chemicals business that Bayer plans to sell.

That would have a negative impact on sentiment among Bayer’s health-care focused investor base, the bank said.

Bayer, which has a market value of $90 billion, said the merger

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

would create “a leading integrated agriculture business,” referring to Bayer’s push to seek more synergies from combining the development and sale of seeds and crop protection chemicals.

Most of the major agrichemical companies are aiming to genetically modify more robust plants and custom build chemicals to go with them.

Neither company mentioned a takeover price, but Bernstein Research analyst Jeremy Redenius estimated that it would be US$47 billion, plus $7.5 billion in assumed debt. He said Bayer might need a $30 billion share issue to help fund the purchase.

Citi analysts have said Bayer would probably need to pay 14 to 16 times Monsanto’s core earnings,

implying a takeover price including debt of $64 to $73 billion.

A sale of Bayer’s stake in foam chemical maker Covestro could raise about $4.5 billion, while its animal health business, which Bayer has said it might put on the block, could fetch up to $8 billion.

The proposal comes as ChemChina’s deal for Syngenta faces regulatory review in the United States over concerns about the security of U.S. food supply.

Antitrust issues Any deal between Bayer and Monsanto, which would be Bayer’s largest by far and dwarf the $19 billion takeover of drug-maker Schering in 2006, could raise U.S. antitrust concerns because of an overlap in their seed businesses, particularly in soybeans, cotton and canola, antitrust experts said.

The proposal comes less than three weeks after Werner Baumann took over as Bayer’s chief executive officer, a sign of the power base he built in his previous role as strategy chief.

Bayer, the inventor of aspirin and maker of Yasmin birth control pills, is far more diversified than Syngenta or Monsanto, with products including cancer drugs, flea and tick collars for pets and Coppertone sunscreen. Some analysts have said a deal with Monsanto could lead to a break up of the group.

Bayer’s crop science division has businesses in seeds, crop protection and non-agricultural pest control, potentially complementing Monsanto’s seeds assets.

Bayer and BASF have both been looking to build scale in agrichemicals. Monsanto said after its failure to land Syngenta that it didn’t need

to do a deal, but it has also been involved in discussions.

Monsanto approached Bayer this year to express interest in the latter’s crop science unit, in the form of an acquisition or joint venture, sources said in March.

Bayer and BASF had been exploring tie-ups with Monsanto for months, but valuation concerns have made a deal elusive, sources have said.

Bayer is ranked No. 2 in crop chemicals, with an 18 percent market share, just behind Syngenta at 19 percent, industry data shows.

Monsanto is the leader in seeds, with a 26 percent market share, followed by DuPont with 21 percent.

DuPont agreed last year to merge with Dow Chemical.

Any Bayer-Monsanto deal would further reduce the number of major players in seeds and pesticides to four from six.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Barley price may be as good as it gets Analysts say May long weekend is considered a pivotal time in farmers’ decisions to sell old crop

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Even near-drought conditions haven’t given the feed barley market a rally, and farmers are having trouble moving the last of their 2015-16 crop.

However, marketers warn that bearish factors are looming in the future, so far mers shouldn’t assume a rally is inevitable.

“With the lack of rain, guys just aren’t willing to pull the trigger until something is secured in the bin,” said Brandon Motz, co-owner o f C o r Ni n e C o m m o d i t i e s i n Lacombe, Alta.

“We’re having trouble convincing the farmer that these are good prices to sell at.”

Marketers across the Prairies said farmers haven’t been keen to sell old crop barley.

Barley has experienced spring rallies in recent years, and supplies have generally been short of feeders’ needs.

As the dryness on the western Prairies stretched east, many farmers who have cattle became worried about their own situation for 2016-17, while others stayed convinced that the market has to rise to account for the bad growing conditions at seeding.

It has created reluctance among farmers to sell.

However, marketers say a good rain could create a healthy crop.

“The May long weekend can be a turning point on feed grain markets,” said Jim Beusekom, an analyst with Lethbridge-based Market Place Commodities.

“If we get a good rain, it may change the farmers’ attitude from holding on to their grain to selling their stocks.”

Beusekom and other analysts were interviewed May 18-20, just as rain began to fall across much of Alberta.

Farmgate prices for central Alberta barley have been $4 to $4.10 per bushel for old crop and $3.90-$4 for new crop.

Farmers hoping for a spring rally to unload some of their feed barley were disappointed this year. However, many are still holding on to stocks, worried that there might be a repeat of last year’s drought on the western Prairies. | FILE PHOTO Many farmers were disappointed by the lack of a spring rally, which is a dependable part of the prairie grain economy. Barley prices usually rise in spring as road bans and pre-seeding preparations reduce barley deliveries and send feeders chasing after supplies.

However, marketers said there was almost no rally at all this year.

“If we did have a rally at all, it was 15 cents per bushel at most,” said Motz. “We didn’t have one lick of (grain delivery) problems in our office at all.”

Feed wheat has been scarcely available this winter and spring. An aggressive export program swept

up many wheat crops that might usually have gone into the feed market, and prices have been too high for most feeders.

With abundant barley and expensive wheat, it has been attractive to go heavy on barley.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen barley at a substantial discount to feed wheat,” said Beusekom. “(In recent years), feed wheat and barley tended to be on an even dollar per tonne basis.”

Some think that hanging onto barley for much longer might mean keeping it into the new crop year.

“Once we get into June, I keep getting the feeling that there’s going to

be no business,” said Errol Anderson of the Pro Market Wire.

“A lot of the feeders are pretty much covered.”

The American feed grain situation also isn’t encouraging for those looking for a rally.

“There’s this spectre of a huge corn crop coming,” said John Duvenaud of Wild Oats.

“The market is saying there is no big shortage at all.” ed.white@producer.com

Durum acres rebound in North Dakota after years of soggy springs

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Durum acres are slowly returning to normal levels in North Dakota after several years of excess moisture and drowned out crops.

Producers in the state are expected to plant 1.2 million acres of durum, up from 1.09 million last year and 840,000 acres in 2014.

“Since 2011, our acreage has

been below normal. That’s primarily been due to weather conditions,” said Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission.

Spring rain and snow melt flooded much of western North Dakota in 2011 and 2013, preventing farmers from planting many crops, including durum.

Producers remain interested in durum because there is a price

premium over spring wheat.

Olson said old crop durum is selling at US$6.20 to $6.50 per bushel.

July contracts of spring wheat were trading around $5.40 per bushel on the Minneapolis exchange in the middle of May. Acreage may go slightly higher than 1.2 million in North Dakota, but strong prices for pulse crops will likely keep a lid on durum, Olson said.

“This year we saw a lot of pressure from peas and lentils, same as you saw (in Canada),” she said.

“Corn may impact (acres) a bit, but it’s just not big in the durum region.”

Montana durum acres will likely be flat. The state grew 620,000 acres of durum wheat last year, and 630,000 acres are forecast this year. robert.arnason@producer.com

North Dakota farmers give canola thumbs up as yield grows Acreage is expected to increase by 50,000 from 2015

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canola growers in North Dakota are more enthused about the crop these days, thanks to strong yields over the last few years.

Many farmers are now getting yields of 40 bushels per acre and higher, so the positive vibe around canola should increase acres this spring, said Barry Coleman, executive director of the Northern Canola Growers Association.

North Dakota acreage is expected to hit 1.45 million, based on U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. That’s up from 1.4 million in 2015 and 1.2 million in 2013.

Canola advocates in the state w e re w o r r i e d a b o u t a c re a g e decline a few years ago as producers in the traditional canola regions of northeastern and north-central North Dakota were switching to soybeans.

The state had 4.1 million soybean acres in 2010 and 5.9 million last year. Beans stole most of those acres from spring wheat, but a number of growers near the Canadian border are choosing soy over canola.

“We know down here that soybeans are definitely on the increase,” said Brian Jenks, a weed scientist with North Dakota State University.

“They are moving north and moving west. They may potentially replace a lot of canola acres.”

That trend may be waning because canola yields are creeping up.

“A lot of growers have had very good canola crops the last few years … well over a ton yield (40 bushels per acre),” Coleman said.

“It (acreage) has stabilized because we’re at near record canola acres.”

The Canola Council of Canada has made yield a priority, setting a goal of 52 bushels per acre for Canada by 2025. Similarly, Northern Canola Growers hopes to achieve 2,500 pounds per acre (50 bushels) by 2025.

The popularity of shatter resistant canola is also reviving interest in the crop. Ryan Pederson, who farms near Rolette, N.D., said growers who don’t own a swather may look at canola again because they can straight combine varieties with the shatter resistance trait.

Higher yields and new canola varieties that reduce shatter are increasing canola acres in North Dakota. |

NORTH DAKOTA CANOLA PRODUCTION: • In 2015, the average canola yield in North Dakota was 1,870 pounds per acre, or 37.4 bushels per acre.

• North Dakota growers are expected to seed 1.45 million acres of canola this spring. All other states will likely seed 300,000 acres.

China’s soaring pork imports offset Russian embargo MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

C

anadian pork exporters are still feeling the effects of Russia’s embargo on Canadian food.

Fortunately, China is increasing pork imports, helping offset the pain of the embargo.

Canada, the United States and the European Union imposed economic sanctions against Russia when it became involved in the civil conflict in Ukraine in 2014 by invading and occupying Crimea.

Russia retaliated by banning food imports from those countries.

The food sector in Canada that suffered the most was pork, which accounted for almost all of Canada’s food exports to Russia.

Russia was the fourth largest international customer of Canadian pork by dollar value in 2014 after the U.S., Japan and Europe.

Russia’s imports of 96 million kilograms were valued at $329.8 million, or nine percent of Canada’s pork exports.

T h a t d i s a p p e a re d w i t h t h e embargo in 2015, and there are no exports to Russia this year.

Canadian exporters in 2015 were able to make up for the loss of Russia with increased shipments to Japan, Mexico and China-Hong Kong.

Pork exports in the first quarter of 2016 are running 11 percent ahead of last year at the same time.

On a tonnage basis, exports are up mostly because of a 350 percent increase in shipments to China.

China was the fourth largest pork importer in last year’s first quarter, after the United States, Japan and Mexico.

Its 16.08 million kilograms accounted for 5.6 percent of Canada’s exports by volume in the quarter.

China’s hog producers went through a major contraction in 2014-15, and now there is a pork shortage in what is the world’s largest pork producer and consumer.

Prices for domestic pork are running higher, and imports have jumped.

The South China Morning Post reports that China’s pork price in April was up 33.5 percent from the previous year. Live hog prices are up 51.5 percent.

China’s Bureau of Statistics estimates that pork production in the

first three months of this year is down almost six percent from last year.

Officials are selling governmentowned pork stocks to try to moderate the price to the consumer.

As well, the U.S. agricultural attaché in Beijing projects that China will import 1.3 million tonnes of pork in 2016, up 30 percent from last year.

The decline in China’s hog production in the past couple of years was not due to disease. It was an industry restructuring in which small scale producers left the business because of lack of profit, rural migration to cities and government initiatives to try to close small

operations in urban areas that caused pollution problems with their manure.

The always informative DimSum. blogspot.ca says the central government has repeatedly tried to push the industry toward larger, more environmentally friendly operations that have better market information to hopefully reduce market fluctuations.

However, a program following the severe outbreak of blue ear disease in the late 2000s resulted in over-expansion that crashed hog prices.

The government strategy this time is again trying to push production away from urban areas into

modern barns with efficient production methods and a smaller physical footprint.

For the time being, it is enormously profitable to produce pigs in China during this shortage. A column by Jim Long of Genesus Genetics in April said a 250 pound market hog in China is bringing US$340 per head. Profits should be $120 to $150 per head.

Still, it will take a while for China’s herds to rebuild, and in the meantime, it’s creating a great market opportunity for Canada.

Soy price jump likely to boost U.S. soybean, corn acres Trend shows soy rally likely to cut into specialty crops as farmers hope corn will follow soy price CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Rallying prices for soybeans are likely to encourage U.S. farmers to plant more of the oilseed this spring and could turn expected losses into profit.

They may also prompt growers to devote more acreage to corn.

Big gains in soybean acreage stemming from a spring price rally have historically gone hand in hand with additional corn seedings with farmers cutting back on specialty crops that require more care on hopes that corn prices will catch up to the gains in soy.

Oklahoma farmer Jerod McDaniel said he is switching some acreage that he had initially planned to seed with sorghum to corn. Both corn and sorghum require nitrogen before planting. The costly

input would be wasted if McDaniel seeded soybeans in the same spot.

“I will put in as much corn as I can,” McDaniel said.

“I kind of think you take your shots where you can right now.”

Corn acreage has risen from the March outlook in seven of the 10 years in which soybean acreage has posted the biggest gains from the initial forecast, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data going back to 1980, which is the earliest year that the government’s report on what farmers intend to plant was available.

Gains in corn acreage have actually outpaced the soybean acreage increases in three of those years: 1982, 1987 and 1997.

Final soybean plantings have

been an average of 1.704 million acres bigger than the March outlook during the seven years of big soy gains, when corn acreage also increased, while corn acreage gains have averaged 1.332 million.

The USDA’s prospective plantings report in March estimated that farmers would plant 82.236 million acres of soybeans and 93.601 million acres of corn.

Farmers have previously chosen to increase corn seedings along with soybeans, even when gains in soybean pr ices have far outstripped the corn market’s performance.

Corn prices have averaged a scant .3 percent gain during the planting season in the seven years when corn acreage gains accompanied

big jumps in soybean plantings. By comparison, soybean prices have risen an average 3.8 percent.

This year, soybean prices have surged 17.9 percent since the USDA’s March planting forecast, while corn has gained 6.3 percent.

The renewed strength in the futures market comes at a time when concerns about plentiful global supplies and a choppy export outlook have cast a bearish tone over the market for much of the past year. As a result, farmers are looking at every acre available for seeding.

“If farmers can make money or break even, they find ground and they plant it,” said Tom Grisafi, a market adviser at Advance Trading.

More cattle in U.S. feedlots in April than expected Feedlots are still losing money, but lower prices for calves are allowing them to buy more and shore up sagging profits CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The number of cattle placed into U.S. feedlots in April jumped seven percent from a year earlier, according to a government report May 20.

The number far exceeded most analysts’ forecasts.

Analysts said feedlots were still operating at a loss, but lower prices for young calves allowed feedlots to buy more of them for fattening, which helped shore up sagging bottom lines.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s data showed the number of heavier cattle placed in April rose almost 12 percent from the yearago month. Analysts said this could pressure prices for slaughter-ready animals in the fourth quarter.

“There are a lot of big cattle out there that are getting placed,” said University of Missouri livestock economist Ron Plain.

“If you don’t have a drought, and you’ve got grass, there is an incentive to keep them on pasture longer.”

The USDA report showed April placements at 1.664 million head, up seven percent from 1.548 million last year. It was much higher than analysts’ average forecast of 1.536 million and the highest for April since 1.738 in 2013.

The USDA put the feedlot cattle supply as of May 1 at 10.783 million head, up one percent from 10.640 million a year ago. Analysts, on average, had forecast a marginal increase.

The government said the number

The feeder market is following a trend similar to 2012. Prices rallied about seven percent by the end of June when feeders bottomed in May 2012.

With strengthening feeder prices, the 550 lb. calf to 850 lb. feeder price spread has narrowed and is now the tightest this year.

Jessica Sampson, an economist with the Colorado-based Livestock Marketing Information Center, said that although estimated feedlot margins in April were at a loss of $5.98 per head of cattle, it was still a dramatic improvement over the $105.38 per head loss in March.

Strong April placements were largely reported in the southern Plains, where last year they were dramatically smaller, said Sampson.

Analysts said USDA’s data may pressure Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures with the October and December contracts down as much as one cent per pound, despite market losses May 20 before the report’s release.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE UP Cattle prices continued to recover with the Canfax weighted average steer price at $161.85 per hundredweight, and the heifer price at $164.03.

Alberta dressed prices were steady to $5 per hundredweight higher.

Steer prices over two weeks rebounded $8 but were still $3.68 lower than they were before prices crashed the first week of May. Prices were the strongest for immediate delivery. There was about a $5 discount for two to three week deferred delivery.

The Chicago futures market drifted lower during the week.

The week’s Alberta cash-tofutures basis weakened by 75 cents to $2.40 per hundredweight.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to May 14 surged 12 percent to 35,401 head because fewer cows and bulls were in the mix.

Weekly fed exports to May 7 fell 11 percent to 7,325 head.

Packers have topped up the number of cattle they have on contract and might have sufficient inventory for the grilling season, giving them the opportunity to pressure the cash market.

Prices in the southern United States were US$130-$132 last week, down $2-$4.

Northern dressed sales were $4-$5 lower with most trade at $205.

American feeders are marketing aggressively, and carcass weights in the U.S. fell below year ago levels for the first time in almost two years.

COWS WEAKEN D1, D2 cows ranged C$92-$108 to average $99.60 per hundredweight, down $2.07 from the previous week. It was the first time since March 2014 that the average price had slid below $100.

D3 cows ranged $84-$97 to average $90.30.

The last time butcher cows set first half lows during May was in 1995.

Both Alberta packers appeared to have a five-day kill week, but no additional hours were committed to D grade cattle.

CRAIG’S VIEW

HEALTH REGISTRATION SYSTEM

Canada must better meet demand for health products

P

lant a seed but don’t allow the plant to grow. Encourage innovation but don’t provide the climate in which it can flourish.

Sounds perverse, doesn’t it?

Yet it is happening in Canada because of outdated regulations governing new livestock feed additives.

Ottawa-based life sciences company Avivagen finds itself in this very situation.

It has developed a product that shows potential to replace at least some of the antibiotics that are now used in livestock feed to prevent illness and promote growth.

Invented in Canada, using taxpayers’ money, at least in part, the additive called OxC-beta is not registered in Canada. Avivagen president Cameron Groome is doubtful it ever will be under current Health Canada and Canadian Food Inspection Agency regulations.

There are global concerns about antibiotic resistant bacteria and the role that antimicrobial use in livestock production might play.

Countries, including Canada, are either taking or considering steps to limit antibiotic use in livestock.

So, this seems the ideal time to explore alternatives that will protect animal health, food production and Canadian livestock industry competitiveness.

Cattle, hog and poultry producers in Canada all acknowledge the challenge and are taking steps to address it. Most recently, the Beef Cattle Research Council announced a research strategy that, in part, focuses on finding “nutritional management strategies” to reduce the need for antibiotics.

However, while several Asian countries, having tested OxC-beta, are in the process of regulating it for livestock use,

such is not the case in Canada.

Avivagen’s product is only one illustration of how innovation can be stymied even as it tries to address a pressing global trend. There are likely other products in a similar position, with and without the peer-reviewed studies and research that this one appears to have.

Without reasonable expectations of regulatory approval, innovators can’t be blamed for launching their products elsewhere, leaving Canadian producers without access.

We do not suggest that Canada should lower the bar when it comes to testing livestock feed products for safety and efficacy. This country has its reputation for safe food in large part because of its regulations.

However, there are excellent reasons to modernize the rules as times change and new scenarios present themselves.

The feed regulations have seen various modifications over the years, but they haven’t been truly overhauled since the 1980s.

Fortunately, the CFIA has undertaken modernization of these regulations, a process that began in 2012 and may be ready for public consultation in winter 2017.

Among potential changes are greater flexibility to consider information from product registration in other countries and improvements to the registration application process.

Those changes could better and more swiftly recognize technological change and innovation within the livestock feed realm. Canadian livestock producers will hope so. In fact, they will demand it.

GENETIC MODIFICATION

GM food labelling: legislation needed to avoid confusion?

CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

H

as the GMO labelling debate officially arrived in Canada?

Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced May 19 that they had approved AquAdvantage Salmon, a genetically modified fish, for livestock and human consumption.

It’s the first time a GM animal has been approved in Canada. The approval extends to filets and livestock feed, including fish meal and fish oil, and comes after years of scientific review by Canadian scientists.

Not surprisingly, the decision garnered quite a bit of attention, particularly from the media, who

swarmed Health Minister Jane Philpott and Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay after question period.

More than a few wanted to know if the fish, which won’t be ready for market for another year and a half, would be labelled.

“So can you tell us if consumers will be able to tell whether this is genetically modified or not?” one reporter wanted to know.

“Will it be labelled?”

Under current regulations, the answer to that question is a resounding no, given “no health and safety concerns were identified” by Canadian scientists, Health Canada, the CFIA, Environment Canada, or the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Yet both Philpott and MacAulay appeared to leave the labelling door open. Neither came out saying the fish should be labelled, yet neither defended current regulations either.

Less than an hour after Health Canada announced the fish had been approved, MacAualy told

reporters he had instructed the House of Commons agriculture committee to look into Canadian regulations on GM animals.

He said the committee would be required to report back its findings and recommendations by the end of the year.

Scientists shouldn’t be overruled by parliamentarians.

CHRIS WARKENTIN CONSERVATIVE AGRICULTURE CRITIC

As for labelling, “I don’t think it’s proper to exclude,” he told reporters. “What the committee is, is a body onto itself, and it’s the committee’s responsibility to evaluate the situation and come up with a report for us.

“But it has nothing to do with the science-based research,” he said, insisting the fish was safe and that he would eat it.

That positioning didn’t sit well

with Conservative agriculture critic Chris Warkentin.

“Scientists shouldn’t be overruled by parliamentarians,” he said, noting he didn’t feel comfortable being asked to study an issue he felt should be left to science.

“If the minister is uncomfortable with the decisions that his own bureaucrats are making, then he should explain why that is the case,” Warkentin said.

Yet reporters in Ottawa weren’t the only ones raising concerns about labelling.

NDP health critic Don Davies stressed consumers have a right to know about what’s in their food.

He said GM food and ingredient have become a “hot button issue” in Canada, and Health Canada should take note.

“I fear that Health Canada and the ministry has put the needs of the industry above the rights of consumers to know what they’re ingesting,” Davies said.

At the moment, there is no GM labelling legislation — government

or otherwise — on Parliament’s agenda.

As of May 19, a private member’s bill by NDP MP Murray Rankin on GM labelling from the previous Parliament had not been reintroduced. It’s not known whether Rankin plans to reintroduce his bill.

U.S, legislators are already grappling with GMO labelling on AquAdvantage Salmon.

A line in a broad spending bill passed by Congress requires GM fish to be labelled. The move forced the Food and Drug Administration to ban imports and sales of the fish two months after it was approved.

Meanwhile, Vermont is set to become the first U.S. state to require GM labelling. The law takes effect July 1.

With anti-GMO activists becoming more vocal and consumer pressure increasing, the question now is whether Canadian legislators are headed down a similar path.

COMMUNICATION

Mobile phones key in tracking hunger

Broadband deficiencies must be fixed

BY NADIA BERGER

O

ne in 10 people do not have enough food to eat in rural areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, despite it being Africa’s second largest country with vast fertile lands and thousands of lakes, rivers and streams.

Food insecurity, which is the “availability and adequate access at all times to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life,” is one of the major consequences of a crisis that is plaguing the country, especially its eastern provinces.

More than 20 years of successive wars, skirmishes, rebellions have severely disrupted the entire food production industry.

In North Kivu province, where more than 700,000 people are internally displaced, the World Food Programme relies on new technology to monitor food security data among some of the country’s most vulnerable communities.

The agency has used mobile phones and voice recognition software since 2014 to regularly collect food security data.

The mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM) project has been implemented in 15 countries with the first-ever pilot project taking place in Eastern DRC. It has been successfully implemented in Mugunga III, a site hosting more than 4,600 internally displaced people (IDP) near Goma.

This is just the beginning of mobile data collection in DRC. The WFP is planning to expand it to other parts of the province in the coming months, and price data collection is being rolled out nationally.

The idea behind mVAM is to

Data on African food security is being tracked via cellphones and voice recognition software. | FILE PHOTO remotely gather information on food access, consumption, prices and household-level coping mechanisms, which allows the WFP to better assess the food security situation in a given zone and provide emergency assistance when possible.

WFP staff members Mireille Hangi and Jean-Marie Kaseku call approximately 300 respondents residing in the Mugunga III IDP camp every month to ask them a series of precise questions: “In the last seven days, how many days did you eat protein? Cereals?

Fats?.

“If you didn’t have enough to eat, what coping strategies did you employ to have food to eat? Did you

borrow money from a neighbour?

Do you reduce adult family members’ rations? Do you decrease the frequency of your daily meals?”

Remote data collection has proven to be a more flexible alternative in a country such as DRC, where access to vulnerable populations is often hampered by the absence of roads and ongoing insecurity.

This process is faster and cheaper than traditional face-to-face interviews, which often cost US$20 to $40 per household and take four to six weeks to transcribe and analyze.

With mVAM surveys, the cost of a phone call is $1-$2 per household using a live operator from WFP and even less if using SMS.

The project has demonstrated its usefulness where high rates of vulnerability and illiteracy prevail. The WFP is able to better understand what people need, making its assistance more effective.

It allows for real time data collection, providing a full overview from the beneficiaries themselves of changes in their food needs in a given area.

However, technology has its own challenges. Access to electricity to charge the phone is a major issue for people living in a camp or in remote areas.

To ov e rc o m e t h i s, t h e W F P installed a solar charging station in the camp, and a committee elected among the survey respondents manages matters related to charging issues.

An unintended benefit is that beneficiaries have learned how to use cellphones and are able to stay better connected to family members in other parts of the country.

Each respondent receives 50 cents in phone credit following the call as compensation for their time. The beneficiary household can use this credit to call family and friends outside of the camp.

They also have greater access to information on prices and distribution dates and are able to express their questions and concerns via the two-way communication system.

It’s clear that new technologies are exploring new ways to better serve populations most in need.

And this is just the beginning.

HOW THINGS GO WRONG

Seeding mishaps can happen in many ways HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

I

f, as the song goes, there must be 50 ways to leave your lover, there must be at least that many ways to have seeding misses.

See if any of these resonate with your experience: Fertilizer lumps All too often there are various rocks and chunks in the fertilizer supply. This isn’t just fertilizer lumping up in storage. These are obstructions that you would need a hammer to pulverize.

We screen all the fertilizer coming from the bin, but smaller chunks still get through, and we end up digging them out of the distribu-

tion towers on the drill. It’s a fertilizer quality problem that seems to be getting worse.

Birds The problem is more specifically with bird nests. Any auger that sits for more than a few hours will have the start of a new nest. Forget to run the auger before it’s over the truck and you’ll have stems and straw and feathers in your seed.

A spout on the auger seems to deter nest building. However, you can still have mouse nests if those little beasts decide to crawl in from the bottom and start a family.

Seed bag residue Sure, the bag opens when you pull the tab, but try to open and dump a whole bunch of bags and not drop a string, a seed tag or strip of paper into seed. You should almost dump seed bags through a screen.

In this case, it might not be a run that gets blocked. Paper strips like to lodge at the seed meter and can affect the flow of product for acres and acres.

Inoculant residue If you use your seed cart auger to apply a peat inoculant, residue can build up and dislodge as lumps. If you use a bit of water to help inoculant adhere to the seed, you need to be careful not to cause bridging in the tank. This can be a difficult problem to detect because everything is turning and the air is still blowing.

Mud Almost all openers will plug if conditions are wet. Some are more prone to plugging than others. This is a much bigger problem on clay or gumbo soils.

Plugging issues increase with seed size. A big seed means a high seeding rate and you need more air flow. However, you don’t want to crank up the air velocity so much that the seed is damaged.

Kabuli chickpeas are the worst for us. In addition to being large, they have that little beak on them, hence the chickpea name. They can jam up in the darnedest ways.

Unplugging an individual run is a relatively quick fix. Unplugging an entire tower and the big hose all the way back to the seed cart can cost you a lot of time, not to mention an ugly looking miss in the field if you didn’t catch it right away.

Broken or detached hose The small drop tubes eventually get brittle and want to break off.

They can also pull out of the tower or the ground opener. Big hoses will eventually have holes from the constant flow of product. Sometimes you can see product spewing out as you drive down the field, but sometimes the leak goes for a while before you catch it.

Many producers operate without blockage monitors on their drill.

Our blockage monitor prevented an ugly seeding miss and some lack of fertilizer stripping this spring.

Blockage monitors are expensive, but they are a good investment.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

T

his seeding season has taken me across a large number of municipalities in Saskatchewan.

Several of them had little or no data via cellular signal, and at a few points, there was no cellular reception at all.

I had heard that there were areas where farmers were having difficulty with cellular reception that they hoped to rely on for correction with some of their site specific guidance tools.

However, near our farm, which is located in the middle of one of the heaviest population centres in the province, south of Regina, I did find it a little alarming that there was little or no service.

This caused me to stop in and see a few folks in the area about the state of their wireless data and high-speed internet.

We have relatively good broadband service via a specialized LTE signal on our farm, 38 kilometres south of Regina. However, others, even closer to the city, are not so fortunate.

I spoke with a producer whose home is a mere 24 kilometers from the provincial capital, and she has poor cellular coverage, often dropping calls in the middle of their farmyard. There is no data via cellular and slow internet service, amounting to less than 50 percent of the speed that even my phone provides via 3G at our farm.

And for that privilege she pays about $90 per month for broadband service that barely supports Netflix. As well, services like Netflix would throttle down her internet speed even further by mid-month for excessive bandwidth use.

Technology providers have repeatedly suggested that new tools will create dramatic improvements in bandwidth.

However, this largely hasn’t happened in rural areas. Internet providers and other data marketers do not serve some groups of users, no matter what they pay.

Parts of Manitoba and Alberta are even worse off than Saskatchewan.

Data is a tool of business and education. It creates skills and raises incomes. For the non-farming public, broadband and wireless data are tools that improve farmers’ abilities to be more efficient.

Federal and provincial governments need to step up and get this job done with appropriate utilities legislation, even though it will result in darned few votes. michael.raine@producer.com

FORT MCMURRAY FIRE To the Editor: Residents of Fort McMurray merit a high quality of excellence during their brave absence related to the recent tragic inferno.

It was truly a strong communication of danger to all people residing near the woodlands.

However, with no loss of life, success and good fortune reigned in their favour.

The north is no stranger to forest fires, we all remember the Slave Lake fire of 2011, when all people were driven from their homes. We must never forget the floods of High River.

In the museum of Canadian history, I refer to the grave major Canadian disasters that resulted in life and property loss. My thoughts return to two world wars, with their huge loss of life. My thoughts return to the influenza outbreak in 1918 which claimed more lives than two world war conflicts.

It is to be hoped and prayed that Fort McMurray will recover.

MILES MOORE

I think about the Dirty ’30s and the Regina riot caused by men working for a mere 20 cents per day in relief camps, and farmers were paid thirty cents per bushel for wheat and eight cents per bushel for barley.

James Gardiner was premier of Saskatchewan, and R.B. Bennet was prime minister of Canada. I think of men riding in boxcars to Ottawa wanting a meeting with the prime minister regarding depressed living standards. However, they were stopped in Regina by the RCMP and a huge riot ensued, with a minor loss of life.

During the Dirty ’30s, money was scarce and jobs were nonexistent, teachers’ salaries were $300 a year and kids dropped out from school at the age of 14. Residential schools were a disaster.

It is to be hoped and prayed that Fort McMurray will recover.

GRAIN HANDLING

Toronto creditor buys bankrupt Sask. grain handling company Naber Specialty Grains went out of business in 2015

An investment company intends to breathe life back into a bankrupt grain handling and processing operation in northeastern Saskatchewan.

Toronto-based Alignvest Private Debt is acquiring the grain-handling assets of Naber Specialty Grains Ltd., of Melfort, Sask.

Naber Specialty Grains, also known as NSGL, was placed in receivership in June 2015 and its

operations have been suspended for the past year.

Alignvest was NSGL’s largest secured creditor with outstanding credit originally estimated at more than $2.7 million.

The Toronto company recently received court approval to acquire NSGL’s assets for $4.25 million as part of the bankruptcy settlement process.

According to the receiver ’s report, purchase price will include $450,000 in cash and $3.8 million in debt forgiveness.

Assets involved in the deal include property known as the Melfort Grain Terminal, land, office buildings, storage bins, warehouse space, dryers and other processing equipment on the outskirts of Melfort.

Alignvest spokesperson Sanjil Shah said his company is hoping to take legal ownership of the assets in the coming months.

He said he expects the facility to be re-opened in time for fall grain deliveries.

“We are ready to go,” Shah said.

“The purchase has been approved. The deal is waiting for lawyers to finalize it, but we intend to be the owners.”

Shah said Alignvest has already contacted potential business partners in the area and is assessing business opportunities.

Alignvest’s acquisition of NSGL assets represents a major step toward resolving Naber’s outstanding debts to secured creditors.

A report prepared by courtappointed receivers at Ernst & Young suggests that NSGL’s total debts exceeded $8.2 million at the time the company was placed in receivership.

Approximately $1.5 million was owed to unsecured creditors, including farmers who sold grain to the company but didn’t receive full payment for their deliveries.

The actual value of farmer losses has yet to be determined because many growers who made claims did not specify the value of the grain delivered.

In a May 20 email, Todd Naber, former owner of NSGL, said that debt calculations established by the receiver are based on incomplete and not current company records. Naber said there is a plan in place to ensure farmers will receive 100 percent of the value of any outstanding grain receipts.

NSGL was licensed by the Canadian Grain Commission and was bonded under its payment protection program.

Under that program, licensed grain buyers are required to submit a security bond to the grain commission.

The bond is held in trust by the commission in the event that the grain buyer runs into financial difficulty.

Growers involved in the case say Naber’s bond with the grain commission was worth $150,000.

“We’ll be lucky to get a penny on the dollar,” said grain grower Lee Egland, who estimated his family’s losses at $80,000 to $90,000.

Egland said he and his father sold close to 6,000 bushels of flax to NSGL in early 2015. NSGL arranged to have it picked up at Egland’s Eastend, Sask., farm in March of 2015.

Two months later, Naber’s licence at the CGC had expired and was not renewed. The commission later confirmed that it had initiated a financial audit of NSGL’s books and was preparing to start a claims process to compensate farmers.

Egland said the CGC audit should have taken place months earlier.

Naber’s bond was obviously inadequate, he added. brian.cross@producer.com

Moose make themselves at home in farm country Research project examines why moose are thriving in a region once considered unsuitable habitat for the species

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A moose sighting on the Prairies was a rare occurrence a few decades ago — rare enough to make a farmer stop, gawk and scramble for a camera.

But the times are changing — for moose and farmers.

Today, the number of moose that are carving out a living in the graingrowing regions of Western Canada is greater than ever.

Ryan Brook, an assistant professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s agriculture college, says the

animals have moved south from their traditional home and have found an amenable habitat, complete with ample food sources, few natural predators and an abundance of spots that provide water and shelter. “They’ve expanded quite dramatically, and I think it comes down to several factors,â€? said Brook, who leads a research initiative known as the Saskatchewan Farmland Moose Project. “In most of farmland Saskatchewan, you don’t see big predators surviving. Wolves and black bears are quite rare ‌ so having no pre-

dation is quite important, especially for reproduction.� “They also feed on agricultural crops and as you know, there’s been a real shift over the last 20 plus years where wheat production has declined and canola has really increased. As it turns out, moose really do well on canola and oilseed crops, and they’ll also feed on peas and flax as well.�

The moose project is aimed at discovering why moose are thriving in a region of Western Canada that was once considered highly unsuitable habitat for the species.

of moose in farmland regions will allow farmers, wildlife groups and others to make informed management decisions.

Brook’s research team used a net gun and helicopter to capture 40 adult cows and fit them with GPS satellite collars.

The collars track the movements of the animals by recording their locations each hour and relaying the information via satellite at regular intervals.

All of the moose involved in the study were collared in 2015 and 2014 and captured between Saskatoon and Regina.

Moose need shade and water and prefer areas with sloughs and rolling hills The research team determined that moose were gravitating toward areas that had “knob and kettle� land forms, which typically include rolling hills, tree-ringed sloughs and wetlands.

Shade and water are two key elements in moose habitat. They allow the animals to retreat to cool areas during the heat of the day, where they are not likely to be disturbed or detected.

Under warm summer conditions, moose will normally lay low during the day and come out to feed when the temperatures drop.

Brook is working on a project that uses modelling to determine the distribution of moose across the three prairie provinces.

His research, which was recently published in the Journal of Wildlife Management, was the first to look at moose behaviour in regions outside the species’ typical boreal

parkland habitat.

He determined that reproduction rates of farmland moose were typically high and survival rates are good.

The research also suggests that movement varies from one animal to the next.

Some of the collared animals spent the entire season in the same township, while others routinely moved more than 40 kilometres a day.

Individual movements are generally greater in winter. The movement of pregnant cows also spikes significantly in the days immediately preceding calving, presumably when the cow is seeking a perfect spot to drop her offspring.

Brook said learning more about moose habitat is important because the animals can present risks and benefits to rural residents, farmers, motorists, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

In particular, they pose a significant threat to motorist safety.

Damage to agricultural crops is also a consideration, but losses caused by moose are still considered minor compared to damages caused by deer and other species.

Data collection for the research is nearing completion with additional results expected this year.

Funding for the project was provided by the Saskatchewan Fish and Wildlife Development Fund, the Saskatchewan environment ministry, the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, the Cyril Capling Trust at the U of S and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

IMPORTS

Diafiltered milk confusion heats up The milk protein used in cheese making is hurting the Canadian dairy sector

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The House of Commons agriculture committee wants the issue of diafiltered milk dealt with sooner rather than later.

For weeks, opposition MPs have been raising the concern about milk protein imports in committee and during question period. The Liberal majority voted down a May 3 NDP motion to deal with the issue immediately but then introduced a committee motion calling for a meeting within 18 days and for the minister, Lawrence MacAulay, to report to the committee about next steps as soon as he is able.

Increasing imports of diafiltered milk, or milk proteins, for use in cheese manufacturing has cost Canadian processors $18 million, said NDP member Ruth Ellen Brosseau.

“Diafiltered milk is not used in the United States to make cheese,” said Quebec Conservative MP Jacques Gourde at a committee meeting. “It was invented so that it could cross the Canadian border. It is a scandal.”

Milk proteins, including diafiltered milk, can be imported under the North American Free Trade Agreement as long as they contain 85 percent or more milk protein on a dry matter basis, MacAulay said.

The issue is the use of the products to make cheese.

Dairy Farmers of Canada executive director Caroline Emond told the committee that dry milk proteins have given way to liquid forms over the past five or six years.

“Under the cheese compositional standards for Canada, when making cheese it is required that a minimum percentage of the protein used in the cheese-making be sourced from milk,” she said.

“The percentage required varies from cheese to cheese.

For example, cheddar must have a minimum 83 percent of its casein from milk and a maximum of 17 percent from ingredients.

However, some processors are using liquid milk proteins as part of the milk requirements rather than as ingredients.

Emond said the ingredients enter tariff-free even though they are considered under the dairy chapter of NAFTA. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is responsible for enforcing the standards.

Processors are equally concerned about the escalating imports. Agropur recently announced it would no longer use diafiltered milk.

At committee, the co-operative’s senior vice-president of institutional affairs and communications, Dominique Benoit, said Canadian skim milk not needed to make cheese or yogurt is either dried for skim milk powder or sold for animal feed.

However, the imports have resulted in skim milk dumping.

“The deliberate confusion must end,” he said.

The Canada Border Services Agency considers diafiltered milk an ingredient, but the CFIA considers it milk when it comes to processing.

“The federal government has an important role to play,” Benoit said.

“Diafiltered milk should be treated as an ingredient in the cheese and yogurt composition standards and should therefore have to respect the letter and the spirit of the standards. As well, verification rules need to be strengthened to ensure compliance with the standards.”

Frederic Seppey, agricultural trade negotiator and assistant deputy minister, has told the committee that the sector’s concerns are understood. “ The standards were never designed to allow the unrestricted use of what is known as diafiltered milk in cheese,” he said.

“Its use is allowed but in limited

quantities. The government is working to make sure the rules are clear to everyone.”

The committee motion urges the government to recognize the economic losses from imports and the industry call for rapid resolution.

Meanwhile, the agriculture committee adopted a budget of $6,900 to study Canada’s preferential status under the American Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act. June meetings will focus on bee health monitoring and the next agricultural policy framework. karen.briere@producer.com

HISTORY OF IMMIGRATION

Ukrainian settlement impact still felt Saskatchewan has declared 2016 the year of Ukrainian settlers, recognizing how they changed the province

BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WAKAW, Sask. — It’s not uncommon for four generations of Uhryns to gather in the family home.

Ukrainian baba Emily resides with her son, Ernie, and his wife, Arlene, in their home near Wakaw, Sask. Nearby, the couple’s son Jason and his wife, Oxanah, farm where the family homesteaded more than a century ago.

In 1906, at age 28, Ernie’s grandfather, Ivan, immigrated to Canada with his mother, Helena. They left behind Ukraine after enduring drought, famine, political unrest and labour strife under the Russian empire.

“It was so overruled in Ukraine and they came in desperation … to make a better life for themselves and I think that’s what was in our grandparents’ minds, was that it can’t be any worse somewhere else,” Arlene said.

The provincial government has named 2016 as the year of Ukrainians, recognizing settlers from Ukraine who helped build the province.

That’s an important acknowledgement, said Jason.

“Not everybody knows about the immigrants that came that long ago … generation after generation stick to the same occupation … this is what they did and they’re still doing it: to be recognized, is an honour.”

The Dominion Lands Act offered homesteads to settlers willing to clear land and build residencies on the Prairies. This was a hefty challenge without the appropriate tools or provisions.

“Grandfather was hard working but that was a different style, different type of work, that was all muscle, hand work, horse and plow days so they worked on small parcels of land at that time,” Ernie said.

Ivan received title in 1911 and the following spring his wife, Paraska, and daughter, Mary, immigrated to Canada to join him.

Peter, the youngest of their seven

Four generations of the Uhryn family gather on the family farm, which was homesteaded in 1906 near Wakaw, Sask. | children, stayed on the farm to help his parents, a common trait in Ukrainian culture.

He married Emily Michayluk from the St. Julien district and they farmed and raised their four children alongside his parents.

That tradition continues today with Jason and Oxanah raising their son, Evan, alongside Ernie and Arlene.

Jason left the farm to attend school and received a degree in agriculture, but years later he is at the helm of the farm.

“I was the only son, so I came back and I enjoyed it. Guido worked hard to build that land and Dad did, so why would it end with Dad and it just goes to waste,” said Jason.

The farm is a mixed grain operation, but for early generations mixed farming meant livestock

and grain production. The Uhryn family farm is completely independent and the ways of farming have evolved.

“As you’re progressing, you acquire more land for grain production and that was one of the reasons why the mixed farming operation phased out,” said Ernie.

Technology also changed rapidly between Peter and Ernie’s generations. Today Jason keeps his records electronically, but remnants of Peter’s work can still be found on the old seeder.

“Guido (grandfather) used to put just in writing his pounds per acre or what he used to seed at or the calibration he used… whereas for myself I’m not writing it on the air tank.”

Unlike so many leaving their family farm, Jason intends to stay.

Arlene, Jason’s mother, attributes his conviction to their heritage and traditions.

“Handing (the farm) down, say Mom and Dad and now both of us and now onto our children, I think that’s probably why the love of the land is still there, because you want to keep it as long as you can.”

In 1969, everything was lost to a fire on the farm except a log cabin built for grain storage that still rests on the property.

Peter was determined to rebuild, said Ernie.

“Things had to get done like there was no tomorrow, everything had to be done today. He was very hard working,” he said.

Arlene remembers Peter’s perseverance through the tragedy.

“He wasn’t going to let anything, any kind of catastrophe, or any

downfall set him back at all. Not just to prove to himself, but to prove he could still make a life for his family even though the fire had hit and it burnt everything down to the ground.”

“Our roots are pretty deep here and we’re pretty proud of what we‘ve kept up,” said Arlene.

Canada has the world’s thirdlargest Ukrainian population behind Ukraine and Russia. There are 1.3 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent, with 52.5 percent residing in the Prairies.

Celebrations have been taking part across the province. The Vesna Spring Festival in Saskatoon took place this month and the upcoming Mosaic 2016 is planned for June 2-4 in Regina. tennessa.wild@producer.com

An article in JAMA Neurology reported that widely prescribed drugs belonging to the proton pump inhibitor group or PPIs may be associated with a 44 percent increased risk of developing dementia in later life.

Common names for these drugs are Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid.

Researchers studied people 75 and older who were taking these medications for acid reflux.

PPIs work by lowering the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Earlier studies have also shown a possible link to dementia with other types of medications for acid reflux known as H2 blocker antacids such as Zantac and Pepsid and Tagame.

Apart from the effect on the brain, there could also be a relationship to chronic kidney disease. Vitamin B12 levels can also be a affected because this vitamin needs stomach acid in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Low vitamin B12 levels have also been associated with depression and dementia.

Some brands of both PPIs and H2 inhibitors are also available in Canada without a prescription. As Canadians are known to be some of the most likely people to overuse over-the-counter medications, this may be cause for concern.

Several of these drugs may have been inappropriately prescribed for minor cases of heartburn or acid reflux.

Many of these patients could control their symptoms by taking simple measures such as sleeping with several pillows instead of lying flat in bed. Not eating for several hours before bedtime and eating smaller portions may also help.

Try to cut back on acidic foods like chocolate, tomato-based spaghetti sauce and chili, fried or fatty foods, nuts, oranges and lemons.

Many types of pop are also acidic.

If you smoke, try to stop because smoking relaxes the sphincter that separates the stomach from the esophagus.

If you are overweight, try to lose a few pounds. Anything tight around your middle increases pressure on the stomach and forces stomach acid up into the esophagus.

There are also antacid remedies such as Tums or Maalox, which help in minor cases.

FARM LIVING

ON THE FARM

Bachelor farmer maintains family tradition Health concerns have forced Delwyn Jansen to slow down this spring, but he can’t ignore the farming call altogether ON THE FARM

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LEROY, Sask. — Delwyn Jansen thinks curling saved his life.

The east-central Saskatchewan farmer suffered a stroke in February and points to playing dozens of games each winter for keeping him physically fit.

“I’m active, it’s to my benefit,” said the 63-year old.

The health scare has forced changes in his farm life.

“No more working all day or getting up too early,” he said. “You have to take care (of your body) or you’re not going to have it.”

Jansen will continue with his recovery and rent out some of his farmland this year.

Far from idle, he was readying equipment and moving it into place for seeding the home quarter.

“I used to have cattle, but I’m alone,” said the bachelor, who farmed with his father, Bernard, until 2014.

His mother, Mathilda, who now lives in Humboldt, said the father and son were close. Jansen completed the University of Saskatchewan’s school of agriculture program but also received much advice about farming from his father.

Bernard died in March.

“It sure hit him hard when his dad

DELWYN JANSEN LeRoy, Sask. passed away. He was always with him,” she said.

She said Bernard was given a fitting sendoff by his grandchildren, who each contributed oats, wheat and peas from the farm to a glass container for the grave.

“He was a farmer, and that’s what he grew,” Mathilda said.

The farm’s 2,000 acres usually included wheat, canola, flax and oats, which Jansen called good for rotations.

He never grows the same crop on the same field two years in a row. As well, he summerfallows and sprays for weed control.

Jansen laments the loss of the Canadian Wheat Board, which provided him with a guaranteed initial price and the promise of more if sales were strong.

“You could bank on that. With

ting crops to market.

“We should own or have a say in that system,” he said.

He must now do his own marketing, seeking buyers or selling Nexera specialty canola to a contracted company.

Jansen’s farm was homesteaded more than 100 years ago by his g r a n d f a t h e r, G e r h a r d , w h o arrived in Rosthern, Sask., in 1903 from Indiana.

En route, he met someone with similar German ancestry and they decided to homestead in the Leroy region. Nearby Jansen Lake is named for Gerhard.

He started with a sod shack and then built a two-room log house with a sod roof.

Gerhard married Bertha, and they raised seven children.

“Grandma said it was disgusting living in this house. When the rain was over, it started raining inside,” Jansen said.

The farm grew from those selfsufficient days when farmers raised food to feed the family to a commercial operation today named the Four 20 Farm. It’s

named for the four sections occupying section 20.

Mathilda recalled how she first set eyes on Bernard while crawling out of the pigpen on her family’s farm.

She raised five children, managed chickens and hauled grain.

“I’d haul grain all day and at noon, make the lunch, and at night … I’d do the dishes, line up meals for the next day,” said Mathilda.

The farm suffered setbacks, including a fire in the barn and wet harvests when they didn’t get the crop off until the next spring.

These days, Mathilda keeps busy with puzzles, coffee dates and singing engagements with the Silver Bells.

Jansen’s hobbies include collecting grain elevator memorabilia. He is also longtime volunteer crop reporter for Saskatchewan Agriculture.

Looking back to last year, he said it was shaping up to be among the driest years when rain arrived in July and turned things around and made it the eighth wettest year. karen.morrison@producer.com

FARM LIVING WOMEN IN AG

Women break down barriers

RIDING THE RAILS

BY ROSALIE TENNISON FREELANCE WRITER

Women are often an overlooked sector of the agricultural workforce.

They may be the farm bookkeeper, but an off-farm job might classify them as a teacher and not a farmer.

As the 21st century moves through its second decade, the roles of women in agriculture are becoming more clear.

A recent report released by the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council examines the opportunities available to women in agriculture but it indicates more needs to be done to increase gender diversity in the industry.

The Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture project provides a needs assessment that offers some surprises.

Liz Robertson, executive director of the Canadian Association of Farm Advisers and one of the advisory group members who wrote the report, says women are asking to be included.

“I’m seeing a shift in intergenerational succession planning,” she says.

Robertson says she has not experienced the barriers described in the report, but she wonders how often women seek leadership roles or if they are asked to fill vacancies on boards or in business.

In the research, men and women were asked if they believe there are barriers preventing women from advancing in agricultural leadership roles. Only 14.6 percent of men responded yes or not sure, while almost 50 percent of women responded similarly.

The respondents indicated the three main barriers are: balancing career and family, breaking into the old boys club and a lack of role models.

In addition, a woman living in a rural area has these added challenges: the remoteness of location, access to training, managing the traditional tasks of child rearing and supporting her husband and male farm workers and pursuing off-farm income to help support the family.

Robertson suggests that positions on boards and in business be filled by women, but concedes outgoing board members often suggest a replacement of their own gender.

Terry Banack, an Alberta farmer and committee member, says women may choose to have more life balance rather than to be at the top of the ladder.

“I feel women have more opportunities now, but it’s also about how we mentor them and raise them up to higher leadership brackets.”

Using the information generated by the report, the council plans to encourage more mentoring and networking among women in agriculture.

Instructive materials will be developed to assist boards and employers develop more opportunities for women and an online resource with links to leadership opportunities and social media networking channels will build career awareness.

Women hit roadblocks at the bank Lending institutions urged to pay attention to how women approach risk differently than men

BY ROSALIE TENNISON FREELANCE WRITER

Women approach risk differently than men and banks need to take note.

A study, A Force to Reckon With: Women Entrepreneurship and Risk, found female entrepreneurs to “perceive risk both in terms of economic and social value, which differs from traditional approaches that consider risk mainly from an economic point of view.”

Released this month, the study was a collaboration between BMO Financial Group, Carleton University and the Beacon Agency.

The authors learned that women entrepreneurs have difficulty securing funding from financial institutions because they are risk averse but in reality, they approach risk differently.

Researcher Clare Beckton of Carleton University said women consider how growth will impact their family.

They often slow the growth of their business to accommodate their lifestyle and they often selffund their enterprise, which can also have the affect of slowing their business’s rate of growth.

“Women are ambitious and want to grow their businesses, but they make decisions to take on risk to meet their goals,” she says.

Since 2007, the number of selfemployed women with an incorporated business in Canada has increased 15 percent.

The reasons for women starting businesses vary and their approach to growth tends to be non-traditional. They don’t consider failure an option and will do whatever it takes to succeed from bartering for services to sleeping on a friend’s

couch until the business gets off the ground.

The study also found female business entrepreneurs approach securing financing differently.

Women focus on relationships with both customers and financial institutions as they develop their business. Without a connection, they often feel frustrated when they attempt to access needed capital.

Susan Brown, senior vice-president and head of BMO Woman’s Strategy, says her bank is already modifying its approach to dealing with woman entrepreneurs as a result of this report.

“We have set $2 billion in capital

WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS • In 2012 in Canada, 950,000 women were self-employed, accounting for 35.6 percent of all self-employed persons.

• In 2012, 47 percent of small and medium-sized enterprises were entirely or partially owned by women. aside to support women in business and we have already lent out three-quarters of it,” she says.

In 2014, Ontario had the highest concentration of self-employed w o m e n , f o l l o w e d by B r i t i s h Columbia, Alberta and Quebec.

The research did not delineate

between rural and urban femaleoperated businesses.

“Female entrepreneurs are an important group, not only to BMO, but to Canada as a whole,” says Brown.

The study’s authors recommend mentor programs to help women gain confidence, educational opportunities supported by financial institutions on risk analysis, financial literacy and leverage funding for growth.

It also said that lenders adopt relationship-based approaches and improve communication between financial institutions and women entrepreneurs to facilitate funding.

ALBERTA LAND USE

Farmland swallowed by sprawl, but solution costly Land along the corridor between Calgary and Edmonton can cost up to $100,000 per acre, hindering conservation

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — It is not uncommon to see Alberta farmland between Calgary and Edmonton sliced and diced into small pieces amidst sprawling suburbs, businesses and energy installations.

“From Google Earth, the province looks pretty spacious, but as you zoom in further, looking at the city boundary of Calgary, it doesn’t tell you where the delineation between urban and rural begins,” Peter Woloshyn, head of the province’s Natural Resources Conservation Board, told the Alberta Land Institute conference held in Edmonton May 4-5.

The problem of farmland fragmentation and burying high quality soil under shopping malls is a hot topic in Alberta, but the solution remains elusive.

Ongoing studies show land is being gobbled up between Calgary and Edmonton in what is known as the Highway 2 corridor.

However, other places have seen limited development, and more farmland has been added in some areas when public land was sold.

Cochrane, Alta., is an example of urban sprawl that threatened farmland. It saw double digit annual growth in 2014. | FILE PHOTO The provincial land use framework encourages municipalities to minimize conversion of agriculture land to other uses, but little information is available about how or why this should be done.

“We have a policy environment with little focus on conservation of farmland,” said University of Alberta researcher Brent Swallow.

He is part of a research team that

found that more than 233,500 acres were changed from agriculture use to other purposes in the counties surrounding Edmonton from 2000-12.

The Calgary regional partnership area converted 80,500 acres in the same period.

The result was a permanent net loss of 200,000 acres, or .4 percent of the agriculture land base, from 1996-2009, said Jason Cathcart, manager of land use policy for Alberta Agriculture.

“Of that loss, 85 percent of it occurred in the Edmonton to Calgary corridor,” he said. “That is a significant, localized area of loss, and of that, 95 percent of that land was …prime agriculture lands.”

Swallow’s research included

focus groups and surveys. Most people living in the Edmonton re g i o n t h o u g ht t h e re w a s n ’ t enough natural areas and probably too much urban development.

People said they rate local food production as important and sensed that agriculture land improves air quality and water purification.

Eighty percent of those polled said they could accept a one-time $25 increase on property taxes or rent to raise $10 million for conserving farmland. Most of them favoured more vegetable production over livestock and grain. They also wanted to be able to see actual farms outside city boundaries.

Twenty percent said they were not interested in farmland conservation.

Another study asked where conservation should start and how much it might cost.

Swallow said it would be costly to buy land and keep it in agriculture because land in the Highway 2 corridor can cost $3,000 to $100,000 an acre.

More research is needed to understand farmer attitudes about conservation and financial incentives.

A three-year study from the Alberta Land Institute looked at the economic, social and environmental costs associated with farmland conversion from 2000-13.

“Over that time period, the data suggested about 127,000 hectares (313,823 acres) of land went from agriculture land to development purposes, and that is about .8 per-

cent of the original inventory of agriculture land that existed in 2000,” said University of Alberta researcher Scott Jeffrey.

“Over that time, the area of cropland actually increased slightly from about nine million to 9.8 million hectares (22.24 to 24.22 million acres). If we focus on cropland, there was no difference, while there was a loss of pastureland in that time period.”

Development looks different across the province. More land has been lost around Edmonton and Calgary while the rest of the province has not changed much.

Less than one percent of land was converted from agriculture to development in 13 years, but it was 2.6 percent in the Highway 2 corridor during the same period.

In some cases, natural areas such as forests, grassland and shrub land were turned into cropland.

“The results are somewhat inconclusive, but the data suggests the rate of fragmentation in Alberta actually went down between 200013,” Jeffrey said.

“It is a difficult thing to measure.”

The province comprises 66 million hectares (163 million acres), and while there has been a large gain in rural residential development, farmland area remains stable.

The province estimates that 51.92 million acres were used for agriculture in 2011 and 51.95 million acres in 2015. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Retiring farmers want the most for their land; new farmers can’t afford to pay

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Alberta farmers have the legal means to protect cropland, but few have made use of them, says the manager of land use policy in the province.

Jason Cathcart of Alberta Agriculture said the Alberta Land Stewardship Act provides 29 approaches to conserving land. Private property owners have used these options to protect pastures and grasslands but not cropland.

“Under the true agriculture easement, we haven’t seen any uptake of that currently,” he told the Alberta Land Use Institute conference held in Edmonton May 4-5.

Organizations are considering measures to save farmland, but they need to know how to manage these land bases.

Cathcart said protecting working agriculture landscapes isn’t limited to land trust groups or Ducks Unlimited. Municipalities could also do it, but they need help and guidance, he added.

Various conservation approaches have been suggested under the provincial land use framework launched in 2008.

However, the planning process has been quiet since the release of regional plans for the Lower Athabasca in 2012 and the South Sas-

katchewan regional plan in 2014.

The North Saskatchewan draft has been sitting with government for a year, and people are questioning its fate, said Cathcart. It is scheduled for release later this year.

The land policy was introduced partly to conserve land that was being lost to development in Alberta’s overheated economy.

He said the economy is slower now, which allows the province to take a breather and do more planning when the pressure is less intense.

Food security threatened There was considerable concern when the plan was first introduced that farmland and the ability to produce food were being lost.

“During the consultation period leading up to the creation of the 2008 land use framework, a lot of the concern was around food security issues. It was around the government of Alberta not doing enough to stop urban sprawl and rural residential sprawl,” said Cathcart.

However people had different perceptions about the planning process.

Older farmers said they did not want government intervening in their ability to sell land because it affected retirement savings.

Younger producers complained land prices were escalating, especially if they farmed in a desirable development area.

Urban residents were concerned about the loss of agriculture land because they have seen the loss of green spaces as new developments go up around city boundaries.

Those living in the Highway 2 corridor between Calgary and Edmonton expressed considerable concern over growth and high land values, while eastern regions of the province struggle with maintaining a population in the area to support a rural community and local services.

Scott Duguid, director of consultation with the Land Use Secretariat, said more attention is also being paid to First Nations claims in future regional plans.

Native groups criticized the Lower Athabasca plan because they did not feel their input was reflected in the final document. Since then, a First Nations group has been established to work with government ministries as the South Saskatchewan plan is implemented to ensure their treaty rights are reflected.

Kernel damage is the price farmers pay for increasing rotor speeds to improve grain separation.

However, there is a fix, and it’s in the air.

Sunnybrook Welding’s new Axial Air Integrated Rotor (AAIR) uses an axial fan to push air into a centrifugal fan, which pumps a massive volume of air into a modified rotor.

Shooting this airflow outward through the crop mat creates better separation at slower rotor speeds.

Lower rotor r.p.m. means less kernel damage while putting more seeds into the tank.

Until now, combine engineers have depended on impact, centrifugal force and gravity as the three main factors in the threshing and separating process. They have not considered air as a viable force, says Gerald Foster of Sunnybrook.

This historically narrow view of how to separate grain from material other than grain is now being challenged by Foster and his engineering team, widely recognized as innovators in leading edge technology for North American combines.

“Nobody has tried a pneumatic positive displacement system using air to separate seed from straw,” Foster said.

Pressurizing the inside of the rotor and injecting air radially outward through the underside of the crop might prove to have significant benefits, he added.

Fans have traditionally been used to clean chaff from grain on the shoe; they have not served as part of the separation process. Foster said his patent lawyer was surprised when his research discovered almost no evidence of combine engineers using air in separation and threshing.

Sunnybrook is starting off with a Gleaner S series combine for prototype test purposes. Its design simplicity and modification gives researchers easy access to the sideways rotor, but the Gleaner is a l re a d y a h i g h p e r f o r m a n c e machine because of its 360 degree rotor. As such, it may not prove the full potential of AAIR. However, Foster said they had to start somewhere. Sunnybrook manufactured all Gleaner rotors from 2002-12, so its experience with the S series made it an easy pick for the prototype.

“We don’t want to look specifically at any one brand of rotary combine because this pneumatic concept is universal,” he said.

“It applies to any rotary type combine.”

The company plans to eventually

test the concept on all rotar y machines, he added.

Foster said the company’s engineers had no problem envisioning airflow as a major force in the separating/threshing process when developing the system.

The challenge was figuring out how to put pressurized air into the rotor and then make it shoot outward to fluff the underside of the mat uniformly along the entire length of the rotor.

They thought about sending airflow through the centre of the shaft, but that involved switching from the current two-inch diameter shaft to a heftier four-inch shaft to make room for an air passage down the center. It would also require a 20 horsepower compressor, with power robbed from the combine or generated by an independent auxiliary engine.

The team determined that a twostage compression system with fans could create the necessary volume of moving air, considering that volume is more important than actual pressure. Because the rotor is spinning anyway, why not simply mount the two fans to the stub shaft at the non-driven end of the rotor?

Gleaner uses a solid stop signshaped steel plate to hold the bearing at the rotor end wall. The plate bolts to the cage frame and the side wall of the combine. Foster said his design keeps the plate in its original position, but it will be modified so

We don’t want to look specifically at any one brand of rotary combine because this pneumatic concept is universal. It applies to any rotary type combine.

GERALD FOSTER SUNNYBROOK

that it’s 75 percent open to let air push from the axial to the centrifugal fan.

To regulate the volume of air entering the AAIR, the operator adjusts a second steel disc to cover or uncover the opening. As the rotor and fans turn faster, more air

whistles through the plate. Minor adjustments in the cover disc control the exact air volume entering the rotor and subsequently blowing out into the crop mat.

The rotor end wall spool is cut out and moved 10 inches inward from its original position, and a new extended end shaft is installed. The recessed spool accommodates the blue blade axial fan and three curved steel centrifugal fan vanes welded to the end wall.

The 10-blade axial fan has adjustable vanes, but the blades will be locked in position once the best pitch has been determined.

“It’s a benefit to have adjustable pitch on the axial fans so we can tune the system, but there’s no need to ever change the pitch once we lock them down,” he said.

“We’re buying high end axial fans, and the only way they come is with adjustable blades. We’re installing them on a shaft that accelerates from zero to 1,000 r.p.m. in just two r.p.m., powered by 250 h.p. Cheaper fans just won’t take that. We make the steel vane centrifugal fans ourselves.”

Funnelling all this fresh pressurized air from the dual fans into the underside of the crop was a bigger challenge. The three curved centrifugal blades each force air into a raised hollow steel channel welded to the rotor surface.

The three channels run the full length of the rotor and are capped to hold air pressure at the far end, near the drive box.

ALL ABOUT AIR PRESSURE

Sweeps work, but why?

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Sunnybrook Welding has sold hundreds of sweep sets in North America.

Gerald Foster says his sweeps go only on the external surface of the rotor, and although they’re only two inches high and do not add air to the separation process, they do work.

Putting small sections of auger flight on the rotor is like a cross section of an airplane propeller. The front side is the high air pressure side, or the push side. The trailing side is the low air pressure side, or the vacuum or pull side.

Foster said he wants the sweep’s high pressure side to push seeds

out toward the separating grate.

Using forced air on the pressure side of a sweep’s face bends air toward the cage, while the vacuum side of the sweep keeps the grates clean.

“The sweeps reduce power and fuel consumption. If you’re using less power and less fuel, the automatic assumption is you can’t put as much seed in the tank, but that’s not what happens,” he said.

“We know the sweeps work because guys who’ve been running them don’t experience any rotor loss in relation to their power saving. In fact, some guys reduce power by one-third and still have less rotor loss. I think the combination of the push and the pull on either side of that sweep blade

seems to keep the cage clear.

“The idea is to use the sweeps and the AAIR (Axial Air Integrated Rotor) together, but this is all theoretical. We really don’t know for sure why it works.”

Foster said a Louisiana farmer who owns Gleaner R76 sequential number combines added a dozen foot-long sweeps to one of his combines two years ago.

Both machines were performing similarly before the modification, but after the modification, running side-by-side, the engine load on the modified combine dropped from 87 to 88 percent to 67 to 68 percent, while rotor loss was reduced dramatically.

“The reason is simple,” he said.

“Sweeps thin the crop mat out

Sunnybrook Welding says sweeps thin the crop out to allow grain to escape. | SUNNYBROOK WELDING PHOTO and allow threshed grain to escape easier. Sweeps have a pressure face and a corresponding vacuum surface behind. This vacuum is under-

appreciated. It draws air from outside the cage and lifts material.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

The top surface of each channel has six air release louvers with the opening measuring three inches long and a half inch wide. Foster said the characteristics of pressurized air dictate that some sort of slider valves are needed on each individual louver so they can be tuned independently.

The airflow within the channels pulled about a half inch of water at 200 r.p.m. in lab tests, meaning it was far from being a raging storm.

However, the flow was also not uniform.

“That’s where the headaches start,” he said. “The first louver measured wind at 9.5 m.p.h., but the second hole was sucking air into the channel instead of pushing air out. Well, that’s not what we wanted.

“It seems that an Italian guy by the name of Venturi got involved. The air within the channel was moving so fast that when it whizzed underneath that second orifice, the Venturi effect pulled air into the channel. The fix was simple. We just put in longer bolts for the slider valves and that was enough to break up the full speed air flow. Those are the surprises you never anticipate in these projects.”

Rotor balance is not a problem because each channel weighs exactly the same, and they are evenly spaced around the rotor at 120 degree intervals. As well, the rotors are balanced after all work is completed.

Foster said it wouldn’t be a problem to install six channels if that became necessary.

Foster said the first step is to show that positive air displacement can be a benefit in the processor of a combine.

“Combines are about maxed out in terms of physical size,” he said.

“Class eight and nine axial flow machines are burning 20 to 25 gallons per hour of diesel. The real work going forward will be using air more effectively in displacing grain versus MOG (material other than grain).

“Some crops will likely be better candidates than others. Fine seed crops like canola may be very responsive; larger seed maybe less so. Our hopes are that we can reduce friction, conserve power and process more material.”

CROP DISEASE

Verticillium stripe causes concern High infection rates in canola can significantly reduce yields, but more research is needed

BY ROBIN BOOKER USDA PHOTO

WEED OF THE WEEK: GREEN FOXTAIL

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

If there is one thing that setaria veridis doesn’t enjoy, it is tillage.

Luckily for the weed, farmers have been reducing that particular agricultural practice for more than two decades.

Green foxtail, as it is best known in Western Canada, has become a serious pest for prairie producers.

It once showed up almost exclusively in the region’s black soil zone, but it has made a steady march south and can now be found across the brown soil zone.

The weedy millet’s tiny seeds are not only good at spreading, but they can also hide in grain shipments.

Green foxtail is recognized as a yield robber and is registered as a noxious weed in 46 American states and in Canada.

The plant doesn’t compete well for resources, but it can find a home relatively easily in fields with wider row spacings.

When left to mature, green foxtail’s fibrous root system can scavenge nutrients even in tough and droughty conditions. The plant reproduces from seed and generates 350 to 500 seeds per head with as many as 10 heads per plant.

Cultural control involves ensuring that the weed doesn’t live long

enough to set seed and squeezing it out through early seeding or planting a three year forage rotation. However, the latter isn’t an option for many strictly grain producers.

Green foxtail prefers warm soil conditions, and the seed doesn’t germinate well on top of the soil.

As a result, spring harrowing will help put it into the right zone to get it growing and then put it into the path of spring herbicides.

GREEN FOXTAIL PRODUCES UP TO

500 seeds PER HEAD American grain growers have given it a variety of names — bottle grass, bristlegrass, pigeon grass and wild millet.

Foxtail first appears as a single, tiny, green leaf running parallel to the ground. It is still small at the four leaf stage and can be confused with other cereals.

Tiny fibres where the leaf meets the stem before heading are telltale signs that this is not a crop.

The good news is that herbicide control is possible with most crops, but oats has only one registered solution for suppression:

linuron with MCPA ammine. This works with other cereals as well.

The products that are available in barley include pinoxaden, Axial, tralkoxydim (available in a mix with bromoxynil and MCPA as Achieve Liquid Gold or for application with an adjuvant under the trade names Liquid Achieve, Bison or Marengo), fenoxaprop (under a variety of names including Puma), triallate and trifluralin (Fortress), Trifluralin (Treflan, Rival and Fortress) and pyrosulfatole mixed with fenoxaprop and bromoxynil (Tundra).

Most of the barley choices are also registered for wheat, as well as clodinafop (under a variety of names including Horizon and various mixes such as Harmony) and flucarbazone (Everest or Sierra).

Suppression is available with pyroxsulam (Simplicity) and thiencarbazone (Varro).

Clear-field wheat offers those control choices.

Most products that control cereals in broadleaf crops are effective, but it can be tricky to get the crop staging right.

Foxtail likes warm soil and can germinate mid-season, so pre- or post-har vest applications of glyphosate or similar products can reduce chance of making seed. michael.raine@producer.com

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian canola industry has been concerned about verticillium stripe ever since the plant disease was found in Manitoba in 2014 because high infection rates will significantly reduce yields.

Soil surveys conducted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency last year found the disease in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

Barbara Ziesman, Saskatchewan’s provincial plant disease specialist, said the disease is common in northern Europe and can reduce yields by up to 50 percent.

However, more research is needed to determine the risk factors in Canada.

“There haven’t been any reports or signs that the disease has been or could be a significant problem for producers this year,” Ziesman said.

“We will be watching for it in our canola disease surveys and encourage producers and agronomists to do the same.”

She said growers should watch for one-sided yellowing of branches and leaves, stunting, early death and premature ripening of canola.

Verticillium stripe also shreds stem tissue, and the stem peels to reveal tiny black microsclerotia resembling ground pepper once the plant is fully ripe.

“These microsclerotia remain on the plant stem or fall to the soil,” according to the Canola Council of Canada.

Microsclerotia survive for many years in the soil and can be spread by wind, surface and groundwater, contaminated seed, crop residue

Canola producers should watch for yellowing leaves and black stems that peel away to reveal what looks like black pepper. | CANOLAWATCH.ORG PHOTO and soil. Contaminated farm equipment and boots can spread infected soil and residue between fields.

No fungicides and resistant canola varieties are available to combat the disease, so the only management option is to maintain robust cleaning procedures.

“Sanitar y measures such as cleaning of equipment, preventing soil movement and crop rotation, a minimum of three years between canola crops, can be used to prevent the introduction and minimize the spread of plant pests on farms,” Ziesman said. robin.booker@producer.com

AGRONOMY

Telemetry; wireless data transfer key to precision ag PRECISION HAPPENS

TERRY A. BRASE

I

t seems that I have a greater appreciation for history as I age.

What I’ve found is that many instances in history can be applied to these current times of advancing technology.

Data communication is one of those technologies that have evolved as precision agriculture has advanced. As a favourite quote says, “there is always a better way of doing something; our job is to find it.”

D at a c o m mu n i c at i o n i s a n important part of precision farming because this is what moves data instructions from the tractor oper-

16054EE1

ator to the devices on the implement or yield data from the combine sensors to the operator.

I like to compare data communications in precision ag to the development of electrical power. After Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he had to invent a way to distribute the electricity so people could use his light bulb.

He invented a method of generating electricity in the form of DC current, storing it in large banks of batteries and providing it to the public as a utility. Between his new electrical utility company and the light bulb, he was able to light up a section of New York City.

The problem was that this was direct current at a low voltage, and the transmission of electric power to each residence required individual wiring. Soon the city’s landscape was overrun by electrical wires strung to every house.

This concept parallels the early use of serial data transfer protocol in precision farm equipment.

Serial is a unidirectional method

Wireless data transfer requires each device to share a wireless transmitter to pass information to the tractor cab or home office. | FILE PHOTO of moving data between devices: one wire going to every device and another wire back to the controller.

As precision farming equipment increased and became more complicated, the bundle of serial cable would have been huge and hard to use on the implement.

Edison had a smart assistant named Nikola Tesla, who had some pretty good ideas, including AC (alternating current) electricity.

To me, creating a different form of electricity was a work of genius, but Edison did not like AC current, possibly because of the higher voltage, which led him to invent the electric chair to show the dangers of AC. However, AC could travel longer distances and be connected by one line to a string of houses. Tesla quit his job with Edison, formed his own company and won a contract

with the Niagara Falls hydroelectric generating plant to use his AC current. The United States was on its way to an AC based electrical grid, which we still use.

Likewise, there is an alternative data communication protocol known as CAN-Bus. It allows bidirectional data communication through its wires with the use of nodes or modules.

Modules are electronic boxes that serve as data traffic controllers and send data to devices, where they are needed, and avoid collisions between data transfers.

CAN-Bus allowed manufacturers to use a couple of wires in a harness to communicate with a string of devices. The idea has caught on to the point that CAN-Bus is standard in most precision ag equipment.

A third parallel in this story is that

Tesla was also playing with wireless electrical power transmission.

You may have seen a Tesla coil demonstrated. This is a big silver ball on a cylinder that when turned on hums and throws harmless lightning “bolts” to a person’s hand as they reach out to touch the ball.

Tesla had the idea to build a series of these large stations, which would then provide electricity to households without wires. This has not happened yet, but companies are researching the use of wireless electrical power to recharge small devices such as phones and hearing aids.

The recent trend in precision agriculture is toward wireless data communication. This requires each device to share a wireless transmitter and receiver, which communicate with a transmitter and receiver in the tractor cab, or maybe in the home office.

Telemetry is a term that has been used to describe this wireless transfer of data, and it has been useful, considering the amount of data that is regularly passed around between operators, devices on equipment, implements and the farm office.

In the next few columns, I will explain how wireless data communication works and how it makes precision happen.

LARGE ANIMAL EMERGENCY RESCUE

Successful animal rescue starts with plan Good intentions can go seriously wrong if firefighters and veterinarians are ill equipped to handle emergency situations

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TWIN BUTTE, Alta. — Seeing even a smattering of Rebecca Gimenez’s presentation on the rescue of large animals shows how easily things can go wrong due to ignorance, inadequate equipment and panic.

A horse dies after a lengthy rescue from deep mud. Another runs from would-be rescuers who don’t understand equine behaviour and later dies of exhaustion.

And in one particularly horrific video, a horse kicks a veterinarian as he tries to apply a brand, and the veterinarian dies minutes later from the force of the blow.

The images pull no punches, nor does Gimenez, president of Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Training Inc. She gave a two-day workshop May 18-19 to emergency responders, firefighters and veterinarians, which was organized by Alberta Farm Animal Care.

He r p re s e nt at i o n i n c l u d e d numerous examples of large animals, primarily horses, caught in dangerous circumstances that required human assistance.

Photos and video of horses in mud holes, swamps, swimming pools and overturned trailers — and attempts to rescue them — were all presented and dissected by Gimenez.

She emphasized preparedness as the first course of action. She urged everyone in the class to meet their local firefighters and first responders and discuss emergency preparedness.

“If plan A doesn’t work, the alphabet has 25 other letters,” Gimenez said about the need to consider all rescue options.

When she and her ex-husband started their training company in Georgia in the 1990s, they focused on helping veterinarians deal with rescue.

“Then we realized the people that get the 911 calls are the firefighters, so we needed to start working with the firefighters, and the firefighters were very desperate for that information.”

The course grew over the years and now is presented in many countries to people with varying levels of experience in animal handling.

No statistics are kept on accidents that require large animal rescue, which sometimes makes it difficult for responders to make the case for training, said Gimenez.

However, responders in the United Kingdom have taken it seriously, and Canada, Alberta in particular, has taken steps to train personnel.

“Over 90 percent of the firefight-

ers in the U.K. have now been trained in large animal technical rescue and part of the reason for that is they have so many horses and cattle that are in the U.K. that are out on the roads. They have people who still ride and drive horses on the roads,” she said.

If plan A doesn’t work, the alphabet has 25 other letters.

REBECCA GIMENEZ TECHNICAL LARGE ANIMAL EMERGENCY RESCUE TRAINING INC.

“We have not been so serious about it in the United States. You guys are serious about it from the perspective of cattle.”

Southern Alberta firefighter Keith Rendell, who took the course, has been to two accidents involving overturned cattle liners.

They weren’t pretty.

“They were liners that fell right over and laid on their sides,” he said.

“One went over an approach, one hit some ice. It’s a lot of work.”

Some cattle had to be euthanized, while others died in the wreck.

“Usually when (the cattle trailers are) laying on their sides, you cut the roof right off of the liner, and then you lay the panels out into a pasture and let the cows run into

the pasture or whatever you can do.”

The panels he mentioned are aboard one of Alberta’s 15 Emergency Livestock Handling Equipment Trailers. Alberta is the only province to have such units, which can be dispatched to emergencies involving livestock.

Gimenez said the biggest obstacles to successful animal rescue are: • frantic, distressed owners and bystanders • inexperienced response personnel • veterinarians who don’t work in co-operation with others on the scene She also talked about the wisdom of allowing animals to extricate themselves from difficult situations by providing them with the means to do so.

Suggestions, depending on the situation, include: • remove obstacles • provide egress • build a ramp • use an assist device As for elements of the perfect rescue, Gimenez has this list: • efficient and professional • enables self-rescue by the victim • employs appropriate equipment • incurs no injury to the victim • incurs no injury to rescuers or bystanders • is co-ordinated at all levels

Understanding animal behaviour is key to deciding on the right course of action, she said.

“I can’t really make you an expert at how to handle horses or cows or pigs here,” she said.

“I can show you some of the problems you can have with those different animals, but if you’re serious about learning those things, you have to go out and spend some time on a pig farm, on a cow farm, and that’s homework for you.”

Other Gimenez recommendations: • Veterinarians and animal health

• • • •

technicians should wear protective helmets when working with large animals, and it should become part of the culture.

Every horse trailer should have clearly visible reflective tape on the back.

Have a plan for what to do with the animal or animals once they are rescued or extricated.

Keep a reciprocating saw in the barn and another in the trailer to facilitate rescue or extrication.

Always get rescued animals checked by a veterinarian. barb.glen@producer.com

INFECTIOUS DISEASE CONFERENCE

Livestock disease outbreaks cause economic hardships Producers suffer financial losses from a drop in consumer sales and assume costs associated with disease treatment or culling

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — Major economic fallout often follows a serious livestock disease outbreak but the issues of animal welfare and producer stress are often forgotten. “We can’t underestimate those social effects of diseases,� said Ellen Goddard, who studies agricultural marketing and business at the University of Alberta. “We don’t understand too much about the behaviour of individuals in industries affected by livestock diseases or in the public who may be responding in their own way to some of these effects of the live-

stock disease,� she said at an infectious disease conference at the University of Alberta May 2-3.

A British study said there are seven major economic impacts in any livestock disease outbreak. These include declines in sales, domestic and internationally, reduced quality of products, costs associated with prevention and control, culling costs or potential public health costs if the disease is zoonotic The government responds by trying to restore trade and it may pay farmers for the cost of animal losses or income shortfalls, as well as subsidize the cost of vaccinations or other treatments.

Trade in beef and live animals halted as soon as the first domestic case of BSE was announced in 2003. The federal and provincial governments sent money to producers through business risk management programs or in payments to cover various losses.

In the early days of BSE, animals were not traded and value dropped but they still had to be fed and maintained. Canadians rallied and bought more beef so there was a small increase in the rate the supply was drawn down.

In 2003, the federal government provided $1 billion to the industry and more in following years. Some went to support producers and other funds went to upgrade processing plants and for research.

The Alberta Prion Research Institute was formed and it has invested $42 million in research from 2005-14. Were it not for the BSE discovery in Canada, none of this would have happened.

Nevertheless, there were no definitive policies to deal with a crisis of this type and the fallout . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people would say when BSE hit, they were working blind,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Corporations received considerable support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of these programs were paid on the number of animals that were

slaughtered. They were hugely controversial. The big meat packing plants in Alberta owned about 45 percent of the animals that got slaughtered so they got the biggest payment and farmers did not get anywhere near as big a payments,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how this money

IN 2007, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTED

$76 million TO RESEARCH AND PREVENT CIRCOVIRUS IN HOGS was received by farmers in terms of decisions they would make. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if people were more proactive about disease management or less proactive,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When circovirus hit Canada, the approach was different.

In 2007, the federal government contributed $76 million over four years to combat disease and enhance prosperity and stability in the hog sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an unusual thing for the federal government to fund and there was a lot of research support behind this funding,â&#x20AC;? she said.

A vaccine was also developed as

part of this initiative and money was available to cover the costs of diagnostic testing and 50 percent of the price of vaccines for farmers.

Remaining money created the Canadian Swine Health Board that worked on circovirus and other infectious hog diseases.

The Canadian hog industry went through rapid restructuring at the same time for a number of reasons but changes were not as pronounced as the impact of BSE. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vaccine subsidy was important. People responded to it and made the decision to vaccinate their hogs so presumably we probably had less spread of the disease, but we did end up with more hogs in Canada,â&#x20AC;? she said.

If farmers had to pay the whole cost of the vaccine without subsidy, they might not have adopted it as readily, said Goddard.

A serious disease like circovirus encourages big steps forward in research. For example Genome Canada and other funding groups have spent $12.48 million to discover disease resistance among pigs.

Research has shown taxpayers often favour supporting projects to control disease but too often government does not decide to invest in disease research until it reaches the crisis point. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Performance technologies help make beef sustainable ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

S

ustainability is one of the buzz words in our industry these days, and I suppose everyone has a different definition of what it means.

To me, sustainable means the industry will carry on and be profitable into the future, that it will be environmentally friendly and improve the land on which cattle are raised and that it will raise cattle in as stress free and humane an environment as possible.

The last point addresses animal welfare needs and makes the industry “sustainable” from society’s imposed standards.

A lot of misinformation exists: some is public perception, some is driven by the media or industry and some focuses on isolated instances of animal abuse. It is our collective responsibility to show the positive side of our industry so that it can remain “sustainable” into the future.

Living off the land and raising quality cattle in open spaces is a lifestyle that will be desirable for future generations to come, but it must also be profitable so that we can keep doing what we love doing.

Modern technologies can help producers raise the same amount of beef quicker with less input costs, be more efficient from a feed intake perspective and simultaneously decrease their environmental impact.

Implants have been around for more than 50 years and are proven safe. Implanting at the same time as castration as well as implanting non-replacement heifers can increase average daily gain by 15 to 25 percent, depending on the type of implant that is used, and increase feed efficiencies by 10 to 17 percent.

These kinds of increases can make cattle production significantly more efficient and decrease its environmental impact by reducing the amount of water, feed and land it uses.

Ionophores such as monensin will also increase feed efficiency and are being added to most rations. They may also have a claim to fight coccidiosis and have been shown to help greatly with bloat prevention, even though no claim is technically made on the label.

We prevent clinical cases and subclinical weight loss any time we can decrease the incidence of coccidiosis as a secondary benefit to a product, and the productivity of our herds improves.

Ionophores are classified as an antibiotic, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which is why you may see food animal production blamed for using lots of antibiotics. A lot of these socalled antibiotics are in fact ionophores. Some branded beef programs don’t use antibiotics, so I am dreading the day when coccidiosis outbreaks occur.

Products such as ionophores allow us to use slightly higher stocking densities with no deleteri-

ous side effects. Administering them to cows at calving season reduces the clinical cases of coccidiosis in calves by decreasing environmental contamination from calves shedding oocysts.

They allow us to keep beef herds in the same general location while requiring a smaller land base.

Using parasiticides for internal and external parasites will increase growth, feed efficiency and immune function. In cases of severe parasitism, deworming will also increase reproductive rates.

A lot of research has looked at resistance in internal parasites, but there seems to be no resistance in external lice or warbles with the current products available.

Producers should check their

herds and use effective products to keep the level of parasitism low.

One of the biggest ways to be sustainable in the beef industry is to keep attempting to increase reproductive rates, which will directly increase cow longevity by requiring less culling.

Producers can do this by semen testing bulls to eliminate sub-fertile ones, pregnancy testing cows to cull early and identify reproductive problems, deworming, feed testing and vaccinating against local reproductive diseases.

Open cows are the greatest reason for culling, so it makes sense to take steps to avoid it, such as synchronization programs and breeding heifers one c ycle early to increase reproductive rates.

Other technological advancements include beta agonists such as Optaflexx and Zilmax (temporarily not being used), which increase carcass gain and yield in the last three to four weeks before slaughter, and megesterol acetate, which prevents heifers from cycling in the feedlot.

It’s been calculated that using all the available technologies could add approximately $4000 per carcass, or conversely, that’s how much could be lost if these technologies are not used.

Producers who want more information about linking performance technologies, environmental impact and sustainability should check research done by Jude Capper of Montana State University.

TIME ON YOUR HANDS By adding OrbeSeal® to your dry cow program, you may end up with a little extra time. Time you can use to get away from it all.

OrbeSeal® helps reduce mastitis by preventing bacteria from entering the teat canal during the dry period. Visit www.orbeseal.ca to watch our video and enter the “Get away from it all” contest.

He concluded that stopping the use of performance technologies would require 17 million more acres of land and 138 billion more gallons of water a year to produce the same amount of beef. As well, the use of technologies reduced the use of resources by 10.7 percent.

These technologies are proven effective, safe, provide producers with an economic return and will insure the beef industry is sustainable. We must also communicate this to the general beef consuming public.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Proposed bill aims to amend animal cruelty laws A Conservative MP says the proposed bill may put ‘legitimate and necessary animal use practices in legal jeopardy’

BY TENNESSA WILD SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Animal protection groups across Canada support the latest attempt to modernize animal cruelty laws.

Liberal MP Nathaniel ErskineSmith of Toronto has drafted a private members bill designed to better protect animals in legislation.

World Animal Protection International has given Canada a D rating for its dismissal of animal sentience. Its report addresses the language within legislation that hasn’t been revised since 1982.

“There is no recognition of animal feelings or consciousness in legislation at the federal level,” the report said.

Ewa Demianowicz, campaign manager for Humane Society International in Canada, worked with Erskine-Smith to draft the bill.

“These improvements to the criminal code are long overdue,” Demianowicz said.

Prohibiting cat and dog fur sales and shark finning are welcome amendments, but the language choice within the bill has met with opposition.

“I am looking at the Criminal Code (of Canada) side. I am not looking at the cat and dog or shark finning matters,” Conservative MP Robert Sopuck of Manitoba told the House of Commons May 9.

“I fear the language in Bill C-246

The criminal code is a place to punish immoral conduct in our society, if you are actively waiving your obligation.

will not, in fact, crack down on those who willfully harm animals but instead will put legitimate and necessary animal use practices in legal jeopardy.”

Sopuck recently wrote a column about the issue in the Toronto Sun that said removing animals from the section that deals with offences against property, and placing them in the section that deals with offenses against persons, implies that animals are entitled to rights similar to persons.

Demianowicz disagreed.

“In 1982, animals were seen as property, but they are distinct from a table or a chair,” he said.

“They will still be considered animals and have a different section created for them, so there’s nowhere there that says they’re humans or that they have more rights than they have right now.”

Sopuck also opposes adding the words “recklessly” and “negligently” to the criminal code. He told the House it would unfairly expand criminalization to those who are clumsy or incompetent.

Erskine-Smith said the language should be revised if unintended consequences are a significant concern.

“If people have questions, I encourage them to contact me. I’m happy to answer them. I’m open to changes,” he said.

He recently met with Beef Farmers of Ontario.

“By the time we finished our meeting, they didn’t have the same concerns,” he said. “Farmers engage in willful conduct. They are intentional about their actions. But what they do is not unnecessary pain and suffering to animals. They are engaging in legitimate animal use in our society.

“My in-laws are farmers … and in no way do I want to affect those practices,” he said.

“The criminal code is a place to punish immoral conduct in our society, if you are actively waiving your obligation.

Farmer’s don’t do that. Farmers

look out for their animals. I wish I could say again and again this has nothing to do with farmers.”

Provincial animal protection laws are strict liability offences.

“With the criminal code, you have to prove willfulness or recklessness,” said Kaley Pugh, manager of Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan.

She has seen a decline in animal cruelty complaints in Saskatchewan, but noted she has also seen loopholes.

“Animals in distress and the elements of distress are generally similar across all of the different legislations, (although) the burden of proof is somewhat different,” Pugh said.

“It hasn’t been revised in a meaningful way in a long time.”

If passed, Erskine-Smith’s bill would amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, the Fisheries Act, the Textile Labelling Act and the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act. “In practice, these laws do not work to protect animals, and this is why it’s important to modernize our language to make sure that those acts of cruelty that happen to animals are addressed properly,” said Demianowicz. tennessa.wild@producer.com

TOWN VIABILITY

Bigger farms, fewer people, mean fewer taxpayers When the population shrinks, businesses close and services disappear

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

OIL SPRINGS, Ont. — It’s hard not to be impressed by the scene.

Two large tractors work a large field with cultivators and packers just east of this village of 702 in Lambton County, small clouds of dust following.

“It’s one heck of a lot different than it was,” elderly Walt Robinson says from his pickup as he watches his two sons.

“There isn’t the people out here.

They’ve all moved to town.”

The Robinsons farm hundreds of acres. To the west, another operator works thousands. Where scores of farm families once thrived, only a handful remain.

Oil Springs mayor Ian Veen said farmers are appreciated, but it’s difficult to keep municipal taxes at a reasonable level and maintain the infrastructure.

Residents need to bring cash or a cheque to pay their taxes in the village office. Debt and credit card transactions cost money, the village clerk said.

Still, Veen believes Oil Springs is fortunate. Young families with jobs in nearby Sarnia are buying property. There’s also some industrial taxation from the century-old, jigger-line oil wells within the village boundaries.

As well, a few small businesses persist, such as Randy’s TV and Basement Boss. Along the highway, there’s a restaurant, open until noon, a gas station, a few dry goods and liquor store.

An hour away in the former town of Rodney, population 1,000 and falling, the community is in trouble. Businesses are closing their doors and the last family doctor just retired.

“The grocery store left about a year ago and now there’s not even a place to get gas here,” said Ron Wilkins, manager of one of the few thriving businesses in the community.

Rodney Building and Metal Products, on the edge of town, serves a wide swath of southwestern Ontario. The region’s remaining farmers make up a large part of its clientele.

It’s more difficult on main street, where Danyce Molengraaf operates a flower and gift shop among the empty store fronts. The store has managed to build a modest clientele over the past four years, but business is down now that the grocery store and gas station are closed.

Her partner looks to sell, and Molengraaf, who also works as a paramedic, cannot continue on her own.

Rodney is distant from larger communities by Ontario standards. That, combined with the loss of basic services, makes it difficult to attract new residents.

Many stores are empty on Rodney’s main street, and in the last six months the Ontario community lost its grocery store, gas station and family doctor. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS

Ont. farmers see profits swallowed by taxes The average land assessment is expected to rise 45 percent this year, which means a big tax hike

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

RODNEY, Ont. — Farmers will soon shoulder far more of the municipal tax load in Ontario, which doesn’t sit well with the agricultural community.

“What we’re asking the province is give the municipalities more options of what we can do for our local economies,” said Ron Holman, president of the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association.

Holman said his municipality, the Township of Rideau in eastern Ontario with a population of 10,000, is fortunate. There is a small and valued farming community, but the lion’s share of taxes is picked up by the owners of waterfront properties.

His community has 32 lakes and large part of the historic Rideau Canal that stretches from Ottawa to Kingston on the St. Lawrence River.

West Elgin is a different story. It’s located in rural southwestern Ontario where agriculture is by far the largest economic driver.

“Agriculture really has changed,”

said Bernie Wiehle, mayor of West Elgin, a municipality with a population of around 5,000 that encompasses three former townships and three former towns.

“As farms have gotten larger and more specialized, it’s taken some of the population away from the rural community. The farmers that are left certainly support the local businesses but that hasn’t necessarily saved the local communities.… A lot of what needs to happen with our small towns is to have development right in the towns. The government needs to get out of the mindset that all development, commercial and industrial, need to be in large urban settings.”

Another concern are provincial restrictions on severances in rural Ontario. They’re intended to maintain farmland, although farmland continues to be gobbled up as the big urban areas expand.

Wiehle said rural depopulation has been an unintended and unwelcome consequence of the policy.

He said the provincial decision allowing vacant farm residences to be severed from the farm has, to a

small degree, helped communities such as West Elgin maintain their population, but more could be done.

Holman agreed.

“There is farmland that should never be severed, but there are other places where more severances could be allowed. If part of a farm is not suitable for farming, why not let it be used for some other purpose?” he said.

“I’m not suggesting we take high quality farmland and break it up.”

Ben LeFort of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s policy research group, also said the economic diversification of rural communities is important.

“As commercial and industrial exits, it puts more taxation pressure on residential and farm properties,” he said.“ It can’t all fall on farms and residential.”

It’s a property assessment update year in Ontario. Farmland changes are to be released in October and will reflect the price increase that’s engulfed southern Ontario for the past few years.

Property assessments in Ontario are determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation.

As assessments increase, so do taxes, although it’s not a one-toone ratio.

The average farmland assessment was up by more than 50 percent in 2012, LeFort said. This year, the increase, which is expected to be announced in October, will work out to around 45 percent.

A half hour from Rodney, Jay Cunningham works with his wife to adjust the packers on their cultivator. He doesn’t have time for more than an off-the-cuff comment.

“It’s a tax grab. That’s really all it is,” he said. “It’s sad we have this on land that doesn’t receive a lot of services and benefits.”

Not far away in Dresden, farmer and crop consultant Dan Vanek said his property is on the border between Lambton County and the amalgamated municipality of Chatham-Kent. Taxes are lower in Lambton, thanks to industrial taxes levied on energy sector companies.

Ontario farmers do get a break.

Municipalities can only charge up to 25 percent of the residential rate on farmland, and increases must be phased in over time.

INVESTMENT SOUGHT

Infrastructure deficit hinders trade: Beattie Chamber of Commerce says private sector investors are needed to get grain, oil and other commodities to market

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A significant “infrastructure deficit” is taxing Canada’s ability to get products to market and should be addressed immediately, says the president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

Perrin Beattie says federal and provincial governments must focus on fostering positive investment climates that encourage private-sector spending on infrastructure, including pipelines and railways.

He also encouraged government to ensure that unnecessary regulatory obstacles and domestic trade barriers are removed.

“When you look at the breadth of infrastructure that we have in Canada, it’s obvious that we’re suffering from a serious infrastructure deficit,” Beattie said May 12 at a Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce event in Saskatoon.

“Whatever money the federal government is going to be able to put into the country’s infrastructure, it will not be enough to close that gap.”

Beattie, a former Conservative MP and cabinet minister from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, said Ottawa needs to target its infrastructure spending carefully.

It should also look for ways to “unleash” private sector capital that “doesn’t require (public) borrowing and doesn’t come from the taxpayers’ account.”

“In the case of pipelines, we’re talking about private money coming from the companies themselves,” he said.

“We’re talking about billions of dollars that would be going into construction. At the end of the day … those pipelines will enable us to get our products to world markets.”

Beattie said pipeline investments would free up significant capacity on the country’s railway networks.

For their part, the railways have said deregulating the industry would result in a greater level of investment in the system.

In particular, they point to maximum revenue entitlements for grain, also known as the revenue cap, as a major impediment to investment and infrastructure renewal.

By contrast, western Canadian farmers and grain shippers are generally opposed to removing the cap.

They say regulatory measures, including the cap, are needed to keep grain freight rates in check and ensure a reasonable level of service for the grain industry.

Despite objections from most prairie farm groups, a recent review of the Canadian Transportation Act recommended that the revenue cap be gradually removed over seven years in an effort to create a more “commercially grounded” rail transportation system.

Beattie said the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is still studying the CTA report and has not taken a position on specific elements within the report, including the cap.

“In general, it was a very good re-

port we thought … (but) we haven’t taken firm positions on specific elements of the report so far,” he said.

Steve McLellan, chair of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, said disputes over regulatory issues can be settled if parties on both sides of the issue are committed.

The key is getting the right people engaged in discussions and ensuring that political support is in place when solutions are found.

McLellan said timely pipeline approvals are critical to ensuring that additional railway capacity is

available for Saskatchewan’s major commodities, including grain and potash.

He said the Saskatchewan Cham-

ber of Commerce is interested in ensuring that National Energy Board approval processes do not create unnecessary delays that

could impede pipeline investments.

As for the CTA review, McLellan said the Saskatchewan chamber is still reviewing the report’s recommendations and consulting with the province’s business community to determine “what the outcomes could be and where they could be enhanced…. Overall, we’re quite happy with the CTA (report) … but we haven’t taken a position on exactly what should happen with it.” brian.cross@producer.com

FIBRE CONCENTRATE

MILK PRODUCTION

Oats healthy, but experts aim for super healthy

Dairy program answers demand for sustainability

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

People would have to eat at least three bowls of oat porridge a day to receive any heart health benefits, so scientists are looking for ways to concentrate the goodness.

“It is not pragmatic, and you cannot motivate the consumers to consume this product on a daily basis,” said researcher Thava Vasanthan of the University of Alberta.

The key component of oats and barley is a fibre called beta glucan, which forms the cell walls of the kernel.

Vasanthan has developed technology to separate beta glucan from barley so that the healthy fibre can be added to food products.

Vasanthan calls beta glucan a hidden treasure and described ongoing research to extract this product while speaking at the Alberta Innovates conference held in Edmonton May 11.

Beta glucan has proven multiple health benefits to help control blood serum cholesterol level, improve gut health and aid in diabetes and weight management.

Health Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority have evaluated beta glucan in barley and oats and approved health claims on food products containing it.

The daily requirement is three grams of beta glucan per day to gain a health benefit.

“Can I drink beer to get the bene-

fits of barley beta glucan? Unfortunately no,” Vasanthan said.

That’s because the fibre is lost when beer is processed.

The alternative is adding beta glucan concentrate to cereal, bread, pasta and drinks. Companies are producing enriched cereals, but they are expensive at about $25 per kilogram of beta glucan.

Vasanthan helped form the company Cevena in 2002, which successfully extracted beta glucan from barley. However, the resulting product was too expensive.

He started another company, GrainFrac, in 2014, which extracts a high concentration of beta glucan that sells for $7 to $10 per kilogram.

Researchers have discovered that different barley varieties behave

differently during processing.

Variety differences can result in four to 12 percent beta glucan, said plant breeder Flavio Capettini of the Alberta Crop Development Centre in Lacombe.

There is potential to create varieties with higher levels, but researchers have also found that some highyielding types do not actually deliver the desired amount of fibre at the processing stage.

Va r i e t y d e v e l o p m e n t a n d improvement is a long painstaking process. Plant breeders may have 50,000 to 60,000 plots to select from each year, said Capettini.

“If you are lucky, one variety is going to come out of that each year.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Food companies and consumer groups are pushing for more information about what happens on the farm.

Dairy Farmers of Canada has responded with a comprehensive sustainability package that covers food safety, milk quality, animal welfare, traceability, environmental stewardship and biosecurity.

Known as ProAction, the mandatory program is coming in phases to Canadian farms and will eventually be a branded, verified program to satisfy consumers’ questions.

“We started working on this a number of years ago and the reality is we are seeing that is going to become a bigger part of our new market where people want to have that information,” said David Wiens, vice-president of Dairy Farmers of Canada.

Danone recently announced it wanted milk produced in a sustainable manner. The Sustainable Agriculture, Naturality and Transparency program is offered only in the United States, but the Canadian arm of the company is aware of the ProAction program, said spokesperson Natacha Gouveia of Danone Canada.

“We are an active participant in all relevant industry associations and discussions to ensure our industry’s sustainability, health and growth,” she wrote in an email.

Wiens said other companies, such as Tim Hortons and Unilever, are interested in the dairy program.

“People have been saying for some time, this is what is coming at us. It is certainly not a surprise,” he said. “For farmers to ignore these things is to ignore them at our own peril.”

Two pilot projects have tested components of the ProAction program, and all farms are eventually expected to enroll. The assessments begin this fall and continue until September 2017. Independent validations start after that.

The existing Canadian quality milk program has Canadian Food Inspection Agency approval and will merge into ProAction.

A pilot project is also looking at an element of the program that is based on the code of practice for the care and handling of dairy cattle. Holstein Canada will measure for body condition scores, lameness scores and injuries.

As well, trained veterinarians may conduct animal assessments after a two-year period. Benchmark scores will be set so that producers can compare themselves to an average farm to determine where improvements are needed.

The program is expected to assure consumers and processors that farmers are following approved standards of production and safety.

The program will be validated on farms every other year, and a selfassessment will be performed in the alternate year. Random audits will occur every year.

Dairy Farmers of Canada belongs to the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, which is developing similar requirements. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ANTLER BUSINESS

For antler buyers, it’s all about the hunt Company scours the Prairies looking for shed antlers, which it sells mostly to Asia for the traditional medicine market

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It’s not uncommon on prairie farms to see deer, elk or moose antlers tacked up on the barn or sitting in flower beds.

Luke Perkins of Star City, Sask., who collects antlers for Alberta Antler, sees it all the time. He also sees surprise on the faces of farmers and ranchers when they learn those antlers are worth money.

“I was buying antler from a guy down near Coronach, (Sask.) one year and he wanted to know what they were worth. So he went over by his wife’s flower garden and he grabbed four or five antlers and he handed them to me. I put them on the scale and I said they’re worth this much money.

“He looked at me. Then he said, ‘hurry up. My wife’s going to be home in an hour. Let’s get these horns gone.’ We emptied the flower bed out and he got his money and I was gone.”

Perkins takes delight in that story and in most stories involving shed antlers, which are what elk, deer and moose drop each year before they grow a new set.

Perkins works with Herb Procknow of Viking, Alta., who founded Alberta Antler and made it into a thriving business. Last year,

Several companies in Canada buy antlers, whether from wildlife or from farm elk. | Procknow sold nine shipping containers of antler, most of them to China and other points in Asia,

“I always was interested in antler,” said Procknow, who started his business about a decade ago.

“I’m a hunter and by finding shed antlers, you generally know how big and where the animal is. So it took off from there.”

Perkins, a former elk farmer, described his interest as “a hobby that’s now turned into an obsession.”

For him, finding shed antlers is the equivalent of gold fever.

“Every one that I find here, I still, right before I pick it up, I realize nobody else in this world has touched this antler before. It’s like my modern day gold rush.

“That always goes through my head. Nobody else in the world has touched this antler before. And then I pick them up.”

Perkins and Procknow travel widely to collect antlers, and they have numerous contacts across the Prairies and in the United States.

They have found that an interest, even an obsession with antlers, is not uncommon.

“There’s guys way sicker than me,” said Perkins with a laugh. “I know guys that don’t even hunt anymore.

They just hunt for the antler.

“They’ve got antler from the very first little spikers the deer grew, right to 10 or 11 years old and they’ve got them arranged in their basement on a shelf, year to year to year.

“And you know a lot of those guys, they’ll be cramming it into their coffin with them when they’re done. They’ll never, ever sell it.”

Neither man would reveal the price paid for antlers, noting it fluctuates with supply and demand and what the Asian market is offering.

Price also depends on the quality of antler, with unweathered brown elk antler bringing the highest price, followed by recently shed

deer and moose horn.

“The best thing about it is you could pick up a deer horn and put it in your shed for 100 years and it doesn’t lose much quality,” said Perkins.

“It’s when it’s outside and it gets weathered and rained on and the sun beats on it that it turns white and loses some quality.”

Procknow said antler is also used for furniture and for the pet market, and occasionally they come across trophy quality antlers that are worth a higher price.

Perkins remembers discovering one of the largest set of white-tailed deer antlers he had ever seen while visiting a man in northern Alberta.

He asked how big the animal had been.

“Without missing a beat, he said to me 300 pounds. It wasn’t about the antlers. It was about how much meat that he got out of that deer,” said Perkins.

“Most guys I talk to would tell you how it would score.”

Travelling the Prairies and meeting such people is one of the appeals of the business for Perkins.

At some stops, he buys 20 pounds of antler and at other places 2,000 pounds.

“I’ve had my truck so full that the back seat and the passenger seat have been full to the roof and you’re praying you don’t have to hit the brakes hard when a moose crosses the road.”

Many sources collect antlers as a hobby that combines with a love of outdoors and respect for wildlife, Perkins said. That interest can be keen, as in the case of one collector he deals with fairly regularly.

“He can almost tell you exactly where every (antler) came from. He couldn’t tell you what he had for dinner yesterday, but he can look at that horn and he’ll remember. He’ll have seen that deer for the past five years, and watched it.” barb.glen@producer.com

* Manufactured or rebuilt to OEM specs for all makes/models of combine headers and haybines. * Complete inspection and straightening. * Floor tins, bats & tine bars provided. * Standard or continuous feed models available. * Combine augers have fingers inserted along the entire length of the auger to keep uncontrollable crops feeding smoothly.

PEA / CROSS AUGERS Move lightweight, fluffy crops such as peas, mustard, canola and lentils easily & consistently through your draper header with our complete full-length pea auger kits.

Auger flighting is kept very close to the ends of the header to help keep the crop from bunching. *Please inquire for available models.

HAYBINE ROLLERS Replace your worn & cracked rubber rollers with our wear-resistant steel rollers for durability and at less cost. * Made to OEM specs for all makes/models. * Sold in sets or as single rollers. * Can be set to crimp crops more or less intensely as required which gives a drier result.

Your affordable choice for quality Canadian-made products.

CROP NUTRITION

Phosphorus concerns force conservation focus Little research has been conducted on the non-renewable nutrient

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s well known that the world is running out of phosphorus.

Geologists and scientists argue about when it will happen, possibly 100, 200 or 600 years from now, but most accept that the Earth has a limited supply of phosphate rock.

Considering how phosphorus is a critical nutrient for plant growth, it’s surprising how little attention is paid to phosphorus use efficiency, says Bill Plaxton, a Queen’s University research chair in plant biochemistry.

He said many plant experts and crop science companies ignore phosphor us because they’re obsessed with another nutrient.

“When I’ve talked to big biotech companies … for whatever reason, they’re not interested in improving phosphorus uptake by plants.

They’re all concerned with nitrogen,” Plaxton said. “(But) we’re never going to run out of nitrogen fertilizer as long as there a re n i t ro g e n f i x i n g b a c t e r i a around…. Phosphorus is a whole (different) story. It’s a limited resource and it’s incredibly ineffi-

Scientists are starting to pay attention to how phosphate fertilizer works. | FILE PHOTO cient. I’ve read typically, at best, 20 percent of applied phosphate gets taken up by the crop. The rest either gets locked in … by being chelated to cations or runs off (the land) and pollutes rivers and lakes.”

Plaxton has been studying phosphorus use efficiency for 30 years.

He focuses on how things work at the molecular and biochemical level to understand how plants acquire and use phosphorus.

“My philosophy is you really can’t fix a car engine until you know how it works.”

Basic research has taught plant scientists that certain plants and crops are particularly good at “scavenging” for phosphorus in the soil.

Research at the University of Manitoba found that soybeans don’t respond to added phosphorus fertilizer. Instead, they prefer to seek out phosphorus in the soil.

“In sites with soil tests as low as 3 parts per million Olson P, the control plot where we didn’t apply any phosphorus had a very good yield, as high as the other plots where we applied some fertilizer,” said Gustavo Bardella, a U of M grad student.

Most plants need help from bacteria to pull phosphorus out of the soil. Mycorrhizal fungi convert organic forms of phosphorus into inorganic forms that can be used by the plant.

“Those fungi for most plants and trees are really important for acquiring phosphate from the soil,” Plaxton said.

“They (fungi) are quite happy to (provide) P … in exchange for sucrose.”

Ninety percent of plants have a s y m b i o t i c re l at i o n s h i p w i t h mycorrhizae, but some do not.

Instead, many plants in the nonmycorrhizal category form root systems known as proteoid, or cluster roots, that resemble a bottle brush.

The plants can grow in soil with limited nutrients because the roots are able to free normally inaccessible phosphorus from the soil.

“Some of the plants that grow (well) in the most nutrient impov-

HOW MUCH PHOSPHATE ROCK REMAINS ON EARTH? Geologists previously assumed that production of rock phosphate would hit a peak in 2035-40 and then slowly dwindle to nothing.

However, a 2010 report by the International Fertilizer Development Centre determined that there are more reserves and resources than was previous estimated.

The paper said there are sufficient phosphate rock reserves to produce fertilizer for 300 to 400 years. Most the world’s phosphate rock is in Morocco, which is sometimes called the Saudi Arabia of phosphorus. erished soils on the planet are nonmycorrhizzal,” Plaxton said.

Scientists at the University of Western Australia have studied two such species, Hakea and Banskia, to understand how plants pull off the trick.

It turns out the cluster roots a compounds called carboxylates, which are a salt or ester of an organic acid. They help the plant access the needed phosphorus.

“Carboxylates are negatively charged organic molecules that … (make) poorly available phosphorus available for uptake by plant roots,” said Hans Lambers of the University of Western Australia.

Buckwheat is one of the crops grown in Canada that is known for its ability to remove phosphorus from the soil. Research from Cornell University has found that buckwheat roots release mild acids that “activate” rock phosphate in the soil.

Plaxton said plant scientists should focus their attention on plants and crops that possess the unique ability to use phosphorus more efficiently so that those traits can be engineered into broad acre crops.

“I think nature has a lot to teach us,” he said.

“There’s got to be a lot more attention given to the extremophiles.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Groups oppose licensing of rail car loading sites

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROY ATKINSON SASK. FARM LEADER

OBITUARY

Atkinson believed in farm activism

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Atkinson family lost a father, grandfather and great-grandfather last week.

So did prairie agriculture.

Roy Atkinson was born in February 1924 on a farm near Landis, Sask., that his grandparents had homesteaded 20 years earlier.

He was the first of 10 children that Bob and Elsie Atkinson would have.

He left the farming life for a few years as a young man, returning in the early 1950s to farm with his wife of 52 years, Bette. They raised five children.

Atkinson became heavily involved in farm and rural politics.

He was also local activist for the development of universal health care in Saskatchewan.

A supporter of the co-operative movement, Atkinson sat for a time on the Federated Co-op board, served on the Economic Council of Canada in 1966-67 and spent eight years as a member of the Canadian Council for Rural Development.

Atkinson also served as president of the Saskatchewan Farm Union from 1962-69, and in 1969 became president of the National Farmers Union, a post he held for a decade.

He was a member of the Canadian Wheat Board’s advisory committee and chaired it for the first half of the 1980s. He was also an elected delegate of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool for years.

In 1998, at a time when the prairie pools were dismantling, he helped form and co-chair the Prairie Alliance for the Future, a producer driven grain collection and transportation organization. At the same time, he helped create a Landis area producer grain co-op.

In 1995, when Sask Pool was moving from a farm co-op to a publicly traded company, Atkinson organized a lawsuit that contended that the pool, its board and senior management had “failed to foresee and address the negative consequences that the proposal will have upon the rights of the producer shareholders.”

Atkinson was well known as protest rally organizer and participant on key issues if he believed it would create awareness in politicians or the public.

He moved to Saskatoon after retiring from farming.

Atkinson was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame and received the Order of Canada for his public efforts.

A memorial reception is scheduled for May 27 at the Delta Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon. michael.raine@producer.com

A proposal to license producer car loading sites will add unnecessary costs to loaders and short-line railway operators, says an official with one of Saskatchewan’s largest short lines.

Con Johnson, vice-chair of Great Western Railway, says the Canadian Grain Commission’s proposal is another blow to short lines and producer car loading groups, many of which are still recovering from a severe rail car shortage that nearly sunk their operations in 2013-14.

Nearly 50 shippers and shipping groups opposed to the grain commission’s plan attended a May 2 in Shaunavon, Sask.

“From our perspective, this is just another level of bureaucracy that doesn’t need to be there,” Johnson said. “It’s just another nail in our coffin. It’s something that we don’t need.”

The commission’s acting chief commissioner Jim Smolik has said licensing costs would be minimal.

Licensing would subject producer car loaders to additional regulations, but it would also result in better protection for farmers and better recording and monitoring of grain sales to domestic and foreign buyers.

The commission said more grain is being moved in producer cars, which has resulted in what it calls “gaps in oversight.”

Commissioner Murdoch MacKay said licensing exemptions extend-

ed to producer car shippers nearly 15 years ago were at a time when most producer car loading sites were small facilities that consisted of augers and basic storage bins located on a rail siding.

Today, many facilities have weigh scales, legs, modern elevation and loading facilities and advanced storage systems . They often ship grain on non-regulated rail routes to destinations other than export terminals in Thunder Bay, Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

The commission wants information on where cars are loaded and shipped. Among other things, it would like loading facilities to collect and maintain grain samples from every car that’s loaded.

It also wants loaders to maintain

BUILT FOR SOIL PRODUCTIVITY

records of each grain shipment by weight and type, provided that the loading facility has scales on the premises.

Loading sites with scales would also be required to have their scales approved by Weights and Measures Canada.

“With all the other issues that the industry is dealing with right now, I don’t see why the commission has identified this an issue that needs to be tackled right now,” said Perry Pellerin, president of the Saskatchewan Shortline Railway Association.

The commission is seeking feedback on its proposal, and interested parties have until the end of August to comment. brian.cross@producer.com

Weak crude oil prices have discouraged investment in biofuel research and production capacity

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Agrisoma Biosciences, a Canadian company that plans to supply the renewable fuels industry with carinata oil, didn’t offer production contracts to farmers in Western Canada, North Dakota or Montana this year.

The company, based in Gatineau, Que., is shipping carinata to customers in Europe, but the product is coming from farms in the southern United States.

“In 2016, we currently don’t have any commercial contracts in the region (Western Canada and the northern Plains) because we’re able to service demand … from the southeast,” said president Steven Fabijanski.

Agrisoma’s variety of carinata, called Resonance, is a non-food oilseed.

Carinata, which has yellow flowers similar to canola, has high oil content and has been touted as a potential fuel source for airplanes.

A representative of the Northern Canola Growers Association, which represents farmers in North Dakota, said in mid-May that Agrisoma cancelled production contracts with producers in the state.

He said Agrisoma lost a deal with a major buyer of carinata, so it abandoned the contracts.

Fabijanski said the rumour is false. Agrisoma met with prospective growers of carinata in the Dakotas, Montana and the Canadian Prairies but only to gauge farmer interest.

“Looking at what people would

(expect) in terms of pricing and contracting,” he said.

“We actually didn’t offer any contracts.”

Agrisoma will ship a small volume of carinata to European buyers to satisfy demand for an emerging market in the biofuel sector.

The industry is starting to use more sustainable sources of feedstock and new methods of manufacturing biofuel.

“The traditional first generation biodiesel market, which is serviced by rapeseed and canola, is flat….

The replacements for that is this stuff called HVO, or hydrotreated vegetable oil,” Fabijanski said.

“Carinata is an excellent fit on the feedstock side for this second generation HVO process.”

Money needed However, production of the next generation of biofuel is moving ahead slowly because the industry lacks the necessary capital.

“Investment in the sector has slowed … with the change in oil (prices),” Fabijanski said. “There’s not as much money going into the bigger capital projects.”

Nonetheless, Agrisoma is working with two biofuel companies in Europe, and Fabijanski said they will need more carinata in a year or two.

“They’re just getting their capacity up and running.”

In the meantime, Agrisoma is developing relationships with farmers in the southeastern U.S., Brazil and Uruguay.

WHAT IS HYDROTREATED VEGETABLE OIL? Hydrotreated vegetable oil made headlines in mid-May when news broke that the biofuel was used to power generators at the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm.

biodiesel because it contains no oxygen, performs well in cold weather and has no limits on how much can be blended into fossil diesel.

As well, Volvo announced in April that it approves the use of HVO in all of its diesel engines.

Neste Oil, a Finnish company, is a dominant player in the HVO industry. It has the capacity to produce 1.6 million tonnes of HVO fuel. Other players in Europe produce 400,000 tonnes.

European firms have announced investments in expansions or new facilities that will increase production capacity by 1.77 million tonnes, a growth rate of 88.5 percent, over the next three years.

HVO can be produced from vegetable oil, or animal fat. The HVO process uses hydrogen instead of methanol as a catalyst to produce fuel. The main product of the process is synthetic diesel, but the HVO method can also produce jet fuel.

Manufacturers of HVO say the product is superior to conventional Sources: Greenea, Neste Oil and staff research

“We are committed to getting volumes going … in the southern Prairies. We just want to make sure that (production) is matched with

the right volume of demand,” he said. “It’s taken time for the industry to be aligned, but it is now proceeding towards larger and larger scale. Carinata from the northern region will be part of that growth.” robert.arnason@producer.com

TAX CHANGES

Ottawa changing tax rules for intangible property MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

A

farm has many assets. Some are tangible, such as buildings and equipment, while others are intangible, such as milk quota and goodwill.

For a long time, it was thought that the tax rules relating to intangible property, also known as Eligible Capital Property, were too complicated.

The most recent budget finally addressed the matter.

The new rules will affect intangible assets such as goodwill, licences, customer lists, incorporation costs, franchises and distribution rights. They will also directly affect quotas.

Intangibles that are now considered Eligible Capital Property have 75 percent of their value put into a pool that amortizes at seven percent a year.

However, the federal government will introduce a new class of assets Jan. 1 called the Class 14.1 pool.

With this new class, 100 percent of expenditures will be added to

the pool.

For Eligible Capital Property acquired after Jan. 1, a new depreciation rate of five percent will be permitted on a declining balance, commonly known as the Capital Cost Allowance.

The rules that now apply to depreciable property, such as the “halfyear rule,” recapture and capital gains, will also apply to the properties included in this new class, which makes the process more consistent across both classes.

Special rules will apply to expenditures that do not relate to a specific property of a business, such as those that were not acquired through purchase but grown inside the company.

Every business will be considered to have goodwill associated to it, even if no expenditures on goodwill have been made.

Expenditures that do not relate to a particular property will increase the capital cost of the business’s goodwill and, consequently, the balance of the Class 14.1 pool.

As with any depreciable property, if the intangible asset is sold, any proceeds greater than the original cost will be treated as a capital gain.

Any previously deducted Capital Cost Allowance will be recaptured to the extent that the receipt exceeds the balance in the Class 14.1 pool.

The existing intangible Cumula-

The federal government plans to introduce on Jan. 1, 2017 a new taxation class for intangible assets that include things such as good will, quota and incorporation costs. | FILE PHOTO tive Eligible Capital pool balances will be transferred to the new Class 14.1 pool as of Jan. 1, including those of taxpayers whose taxation year straddles that date.

The opening balance of the Class 14.1 pool will be equal to the CEC balance as at Dec. 31.

The Capital Cost Allowance depreciation rate for property transferred to the Class 14.1 pool related to expenditures made before Jan. 1, will be seven percent until 2027.

The rate for expenditures made

after Jan. 1 falls to five percent.

Amounts received on the disposition of property after Dec. 31, which relate to property acquired or expenditures made before Jan. 1, will reduce the Class 14.1 pool at a 75 percent rate of the proceeds from the disposed property.

Special rules for small businesses that allow a deduction will simplify the transition: • for expenditures incurred before 2017, equal to the greater of $500 or the amount otherwise deductible for the year, for years that end

before 2027.

• in computing income, for the first $3,000 of incorporation expenses I suggest you seek the assistance of your accounting or tax specialist if these “simplified” new rules apply to you and they don’t seem all that simple.

AGFINANCE NOTES U.S. BIOFUEL PLAN DISAPPOINTS WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) — U.S. regulators have proposed a modest increase in the amount of corn-based ethanol and biofuel that American fuel producers must mix into diesel and gasoline next year.

The move disappointed agricultural and oil lobbies.

In unveiling the latest stage in its controversial biofuel program, the Environmental Protection Agency called for 18.8 billion U.S. gallons to be blended into the fuel supply next year, up four percent from the 18.11 billion gallons set for this year.

That includes 14.8 billion gallons for conventional biofuel, mainly ethanol, up from 14.5 billion for this year, the EPA said.

As expected, the new total for the Renewable Fuel Standard is well below the 24 billion gallons outlined in a 2007 law aimed at cutting U.S. oil imports and boosting renewable fuel use.

Still, the volumes represent “ambitious, but achievable” growth for the renewable fuel industry, the EPA said.

The increase did not go far enough for the farm lobby and biofuel companies that have spent millions to produce advanced biofuel.

Oil industry advocates, who have criticized previous targets as unrealistic, renewed calls for an overhaul of the program.

ANDERSONS REJECTS BID (Reuters) — U.S. grain handler Andersons Inc. has rejected a $1 billion takeover offer from HC2 Holdings Inc. as too low.

It called the bid an attempt to capitalize on a sharp downturn in the agricultural economy.

With the U.S. farm sector suffering from large corn and wheat stocks and depressed crop prices, the Ohio-based agribusiness said it was better off remaining a “standalone entity” than selling to the holding company run by former hedge fund manager Philip Falcone.

HC2’s takeover bid “represent(s) an opportunistic attempt to acquire the company at a low point in the industry cycle,” chair Mike Anderson said in a statement.

Andersons, which buys grain, produces ethanol and leases rail cars, swung to a net loss in 2015 and in the first quarter of 2016.

Last year, Canadian grain company Richardson International said it was looking at Andersons Inc. and other American companies as it planned expansion into the United States.

#PLANT16

FORMER LOUIS DREYFUS CEO LEAVES BOARD PARIS, France (Reuters) — Global agricultural trader Louis Dreyfus Co. has made management changes that saw former chief executive officer Serge Schoen leave its board. It’s seen as another step in a leadership shakeup led by top shareholder Margarita LouisDreyfus.

The departure of Schoen, who oversaw rapid growth at the trading house as CEO from 2005-13, comes after Louis Dreyfus ended a protracted search for a permanent successor as CEO by promoting former Asia head Gonzalo Ramirez Martiarena last year.

As CEO, Schoen had steered the group through a boom period in agriculture, notching record net profit for the group of $1 billion as fast growing demand in emerging countries and lagging supply fuelled rising prices.
