James Hofer is always looking for a way to shave production costs at his Hutterite colony’s hog barns in eastern Manitoba.

Ractopamine, a feed additive that can cut costs by $2 to $5 per head, sounded like a good idea to try — until he heard from his packer in 2008.

“HyLife was saying, ‘no more ractopamine,’ ” said Hofer. “We need to produce whatever the buyer is asking for.”

In the United States, most major hog farms and processing systems had adopted ractopamine after it was approved there in 2000. Many Canadian producers adopted it in 2006. The additive is considered proven safe in countries like Canada, the U.S. and Japan.

But since then its use has disappeared in Canada.

Seeding progresses but many areas struggling to get crop in

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It’s north verses south for seeding progress, and for progress of last year’s leftover harvest, across much of Western Canada.

This spring has seen exceptional progress in some areas, while states of disaster have been declared in other parts.

Southern regions are enjoying a relative stable seeding season, while northern areas continue to struggle with getting last year’s harvest in the bin and this year’s

crop in the ground.

In Manitoba, seeding operations progressed well during the week and it’s estimated that about 90 percent of crops are planted.

Southern regions of Saskatchewan and Alberta are advancing quickly thanks to warm, dry weather.

Rainfall, particularly in northwestern and northeastern Alberta has many fields too wet for harvest or seeding.

Most crops are at or behind normal development stages for this time of year.

H o w e v e r, s u n n y d a y s h a s

favoured one region in particular, which stands out above the rest this year.

“Here in southeast Saskatchewan, I think everyone is pretty well smiling and happy. Everything is looking good at this point and all we can do is knock on wood and hope the rains come at a timely manner and we get some heat and I think things will take off and really grow,” said Sherri Roberts, regional crops specialist with Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Agriculture.

“We have some fall rye and winter wheat already starting to head out.

We’ve got peas at the three and four node stage, which is progressing really well. We’ve got canola up and looking good.”

However, in Alberta’s northeast region states of disaster have been declared because of excess moisture.

“St. Paul County and Beaver County have both declared agricultural disasters on a local basis,” said Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

“It’s unreal with the amount of water that is just sitting around. So instead of seeding 140 acres a quarter they might be able to get on to 60. That kind of thing,” he said.

“There’s farmers in that area that haven’t turned a wheel yet for harvest or seeding.”

Arnold Hanson, livestock producer and a councillor for Beaver County, said conditions are so wet in some areas that last year’s harvest is still sitting in water.

He said the main reason for declaring a disaster was to draw attention to the economic hardships farmers are facing.

“The (crop insurance) programs that we have don’t really address the issues that we’re having. They keep telling producers to try and get the crop off. Well, when the crop is sitting in two feet of water, they’ll never get it off in order to get their insurance proceeds,” he said.

“We need to change some of the programs so they address the issues that are there with insurance and the needs of producers.”

Yaremcio said as the seeding window closes, farmers’ crop options are rapidly becoming limited.

Decisions have to be made.

“That’s the calls that we’re getting here right now. ‘OK, can I go ahead and seed this variety, or what are my options for what to do with my acres?’ ” he said. william.dekay@producer.com

LABOUR

Alberta farm workers gain the right to unionize: what happens now?

Provincial government’s Fair and Family friendly Workplaces Act will affect non-family paid workers on farms and ranches

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Farm workers in Alberta will have the option to unionize once new provincial government labour legislation is passed.

Labour minister Christina Gray announced amendments May 24 to the labour relations code and the employment standards code, dubbed the Fair and Familyfriendly Workplaces Act. The amendments reach into all employment sectors in the province and some will affect nonfamily paid workers on farms and ranches.

Agriculture minister Oneil Carlier said the right to unionize, including the right to strike, is available to other farm workers in Canada and the new legislation will bring Alberta into line with other provinces.

“We see this as basically a right that is enjoyed by workers, every worker, across Alberta … a right that is held by every farm worker across Canada,” he said. “I think it’s really about time that Alberta farm workers had that right as well.”

Amendments to the two codes were the subject of round-table

working groups established by the government after it introduced the controversial Bill 6, which later became the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act. Members of the group tasked with amendments to the labour code agreed to disagree on allowing farm workers to unionize, noting fears about animal care and the crucial timing of various farming operations.

The new legislation thus has included Public Emergency Tribunal provisions, to be used “when there is a risk of imminent and irreversible damage to crops and/ or livestock welfare in primary agriculture.”

Carlier said the tribunal would be able to act quickly should a strike or other work stoppage occur and cause harm at crucial times, such as seeding, harvest or calving.

Kent Erickson, co-chair of the Ag Coalition of farm groups formed in response to Bill 6, said the potential for labour disruption is a worry.

“The biggest concern that really came out from the ag sector was how that would affect livestock care and crop care, when you’re having living plants and animals that need to be tended to and the

potential for delay,” he said.

“Those are the types of things that we have to look at. It’s a big piece of legislation.”

Erickson said May 25 that the coalition has had little opportunity to get feedback from its farmer members because many are still seeding the 2017 crop.

A closer look at the chapter and verse is planned in coming days.

“I believe that the wording is a little bit different in this legislation than what we had hoped,” he said.

“For the majority of producers, unionization isn’t a real-life issue that’s going to happen because we have maybe one or two employees.

But at the same time, as soon as you let that component come into your sector … I think we stand strong in the fact that we really believe in healthy relationships.”

Ag coalition members on the labour working group also expressed the fear that an option for farm workers to unionize would alter the culture of the farm.

Carlier said he does not think that will be the case.

“I grew up on a farm myself in Saskatchewan where workers had the right … to join unions for decades and I don’t see a culture of farming much

different in Saskatchewan than it is in Alberta,” he said.

“I think for a large part it’s because farmers and ranchers out there respect their workers, so workers by and large, I think they welcome the right to join unions if they so choose and its always their choice.

But they might feel in the long term that there is no need because they are being treated fairly.”

Carlier said the Labour Relations Board will include a representative with a good understanding of agriculture. That was also a request of the agriculture members in the working group.

As for changes to the Employment Standards Act affecting nonfamily, paid farm workers, there are several, and most were agreedupon recommendations from the working groups.

Minimum wage will apply but paid farm workers are exempt from overtime provisions and from standards around hours of work and breaks. They are to be given four days off every 28 days, with the employer deciding on the timing “at their convenience and within reason.”

Vacation pay will be calculated on total wages, not on hours of work.

Erickson said Ag Coalition members have to examine the economic implications of those changes before providing further comment.

“Anything that affects economics and doesn’t really play into the farm safety side, those are things we’re going to have to look at,” said Erickson.

Carlier said the new regulations come into effect Jan. 1, 2018, giving time for agricultural employers to educate themselves and their workers.

He acknowledged that Bill 6 and the subsequent act caused widespread concern in the farming community but said it has eased since first introduced.

“I think a lot of the angst that we heard from the farm and ranch community around how its going to affect the family farm and 4-H and that kind of thing, I really don’t believe that that exists anymore but I want to reiterate to people that this won’t in any shape or form change the culture around how children learn to be farmers, that work ethic, like all of us that grew up on farms grew to appreciate. It’s not going to change any of that.” barb.glen@producer.com

SPECIAL Public polling shows that millions of Canadian consumers remain hostile to growth hormones and GM foods, despite overwhelming evidence showing the technologies are safe.

If explaining and defending ag practices with science isn’t feasible, what are the alternatives for Canadian farmers? Western Producer reporters Ed White and Robert Arnason explore this question.

The road ahead for farming is branching out — and that’s how consumers like it Part of embracing labels and consumer choice is accepting the idea that market segmentation might be good for farmers

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

K

evin Folta took more than a decade to understand why science isn’t a great way to change people’s minds in the debate over genetically modified foods and pesticides.

“It only took me 12 years, of really working hard to share science and give people facts, to realize that it wasn’t working,” said Folta, professor and chair of the University of Florida horticultural sciences department and a well-known science communicator, who talks about genetically modified foods and modern agriculture.

“I was able to preach to the choir,” he said from his office in Gainesville, Fl. “That worked great. The choir was happy… but I wasn’t reaching the people who were just concerned. The people in the middle who didn’t know, one way or the other.”

It’s clear to him that the food market is segmented and that some consumers want breakfast cereal that is non-GMO, and cage-free eggs or beef without added hormones.

Conventional farmers should fight fire with fire, Folta said.

“I think what Canada’s producers should do is use this as an opportunity to create their own segment.

That’s what many places are doing.

“When you’re not doing something wrong, you lean into it…. It’s a place for us to match it with our own label. Our own brand.”

Some conventional producers are already in the branding game.

Field To Market is an alliance of grower organizations, conservation groups and agricultural corporations in the U.S. that have developed metrics for sustainable production. Its mandate, at least partly, is to demonstrate that conventional farmers are doing things to protect air, soil and water.

Owen Roberts, University of Guelph research communications director and a journalist who writes about agriculture and food, said some farmers loath market segmentation and for good reason.

Labels like “Certified Humane” suggest that conventional producers are doing something wrong.

But Roberts said the “horse has already left the barn” when it comes to segmentation. So conventional producers may need their own identity in the market.

“Why not segment by conventional (agricultural) properties that are already good?” he asked.

“Like safety or price or availability or taste or appearance. Those are legitimate things to segment yourself.”

Folta doesn’t agree with some of the brands and labels on the market, such as the Non-GMO Project, but he says arguing about the validity of such claims may be a lost cause.

Saying such labels are scientifically “crazy” or “wrong” doesn’t accomplish much because few people are swayed by such arguments, he said. “(Some people) they’ll say, well, we are going to avoid pesticides and genetic engineering because what if there’s a problem?

“You’re not going to win that back by saying: ‘Don’t worry about it.

Trust us. There’s no problem’.”

One Canadian example is using growth promotants, or hormones, to increase the rate of gain for beef cattle. The practice is scientifically safe, as the amount of hormones added to a hamburger or steak are almost non-existent.

But when producers and scien-

tists share that fact it doesn’t move the needle on public perception.

Polling data shows the percentage of Canadians concerned about growth hormones hasn’t changed since 2001.

“Telling (people) how many nanograms of hormones (are) in 100 grams of beef, apparently isn’t working,” said Crystal Mackay, chief executive officer of Farm & Food Care Canada, an organization that talks to the public about farm practices.

“Our ‘educating’ them with the facts is absolutely not working…. I’m part of this (problem). This has been my whole career, trying to have a conversation with the public.”

Getting angry at companies that sell cage-free eggs, hormone-free beef or GMO-free products isn’t effective either.

In 2013, A&W began selling beef raised without hormones or antibiotics, as part of a “Better Beef ” campaign.

Cattle ranchers in Canada were furious, particularly by the implication that there’s something wrong with conventional beef. But their outrage, on social media and in the traditional media, had little impact.

A&W reported that Canadians re s p o n d e d p o s i t i v e l y t o t h e campaign and its hamburger sales jumped.

Mackay said it’s difficult to argue against consumer choice. Canadians can now choose from 10 different types of eggs and the scope of choice may soon include things like glyphosate-free oatmeal.

“That’s not going anywhere. If anything (there might be) more

micro-segmentation,” Mackay said. “Why shouldn’t the consumer have choice? I’ve personally tried to get my head around this whole shift to say, embrace choice and embrace skepticism.”

Embracing the shift, developing a brand David McInnes, former president of the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute, has said that consumers, around the world want food that provides health and environmental benefits. Canada is well positioned to deliver on those desires

In 2013, A&W began selling beef raised without hormones or antibiotics, as part of a “Better Beef” campaign. Cattle ranchers in Canada were furious, particularly by the implication that there’s something wrong with conventional beef. Their outrage, on social media and in traditional media, had little impact.

because it’s one of a few countries that can produce substantial quantities of food without destroying its natural resources.

In Canada, Farm & Food Care research indicates the public wants healthy and affordable food. “(It) was the most important issue of concern to Canadians in 2016,” Mackay said. “Above health care, energy and economy. That is huge.”

Canadian farmers are already producing food that is nutritious and affordable, so building a brand around those attributes seems logical.

“And the third piece is local. So put the Canadian flag on it. So we have healthy, affordable food grown close to home. Boom,” Mackay said. “We haven’t capitalized on that by branding.”

Another branding opportunity is food safety. Mackay regularly takes urban foodies, chefs and social media influencers to Canadian farms, to

show them what a farm actually looks like. They are often shocked by the exhaustive safety protocols for things like milk production.

“They cannot believe all the work that goes into making sure that milk is safe,” Mackay said. “No idea.”

Production standards, positive attributes and a positive brand may help conventional farmers push back on labels like non GMO. “We’re going further than people like Chipotle who say no GMOs. We’re saying we’re using genetic engineering to cut pesticide applications and using it to decrease labour costs and carbon footprint,” Folta said. “We’re not just a marketing gimmick. We’re deeper than that.”

Part of embracing labels and consumer choice is accepting the idea that market segmentation might be good for farmers.

If consumers have an abundance of choice, like free-range, organic

and certified humane, it could reduce the risk of a public backlash.

If no-added-hormone beef is widely available, the government or corporations have little reason to impose a mandate or ban the use of growth promotants in beef cattle.

And since consumers want choice, why go to war against that choice?

“It’s better to be in front of a trend than behind it,” Roberts said.

As well, it’s obvious that organic farmers are benefiting from their segment of the market because prices are two or three times higher than conventional products. Having more market niches, in the future, could increase returns for more farmers.

“Ultimately, more choices are a good thing,” Folta said. “If people want segments, give them segments.” robert.arnason@producer.com

All of Canada’s federally inspected packing plants refuse to take ractopamine-treated pigs and virtually no producers still use it.

What happened?

Ractopamine allows a pig to digest feed in a way that produces a higher proportion of muscle compared to fat, and allows a pig to get to market weight with less feed.

Still, for Claude Vielfaure, rejecting ractopamine became a nobrainer the second his hog production company took over the slaughter plant in Neepawa, Man., in 2008. The packing component to Hytek, now known as HyLife, focused on building sales in Asia and ractopamine was a touchy issue with overseas buyers.

“We felt the benefits (of not using ractopamine) were more than using ractopamine,” said Vielfaure. His company was a pioneer of Canada’s ractopamine-free system, which is credited with Canada’s booming sales to China while U.S. sales have stumbled.

But other packers across the country were jolted most by Russia’s announcement in 2012 that it wouldn’t accept any ractopamine-treated pork.

At that time, Russia was the third largest export market for Canadian pork. Losing access to that seemed like a poor result for using a feed additive that provided less than $5 per head in value.

Canadian packers began to evaluate what access to major overseas markets like Russia was worth compared to the efficiency value of ractopamine.

O ne by one, plants began switching away from it, said Gary Stordy of the Canadian Pork Council. There was no national or industry plan to abandon ractopamine, it just happened incrementally.

“The product is still available.

It’s registered by Health Canada,” he said.

However, he added, nobody is using it.

At first, small plants similar to Vielfaure’s in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec made the transition, telling farmers that they were going “racto-free.”

The Maple L eaf plant in Lethbridge went racto-free earlier than the rest of the company’s plants because its sales were heavily reliant on markets that weren’t keen on ractopamine or had banned the product.

Russia might have been the first big driver of the move to stop using ractopamine, but its influence faded as political tension between Canada and Russia flared and as economic stress came to Russia, it almost stopped buying Canadian pork.

But at the same time, China began to suck in huge volumes of foreign pork and Canada became a major supplier.

The country also banned ractopamine and Canada, along with the European Union, were wellpositioned to feed China’s growing hunger.

In 2016, Canadian pork exports to China more than doubled, making it Canada’s second largest for-

eign market by volume, and third most valuable foreign market.

The American example The same was not true for the U.S. Instead of the surging sales increases seen by Canada, the U.S. has been buffeted by the ractopamine issue, slumping in 2015 after strong strong sales in 2014 and having trouble regaining the 2014 level in 2016.

The U.S. industry has seen about half of its packing plants switch to racto-free pigs, but much U.S. production still relies on pigs fed the additive.

Iowa State University agricultural economist Dermot Hayes congratulated the Canadian industry on its transition, allowing it to benefit fully from booming Chinese demand. He said U.S. packers can see the market they are missing, but many aren’t willing to go through the exhaustive process of cleaning out plants, farms and feed mills to ensure no ractopamine will exist in future product.

One reason for the reluctance is that they are cynical about China’s rejection of ractopamine, seeing it as just a handy way to block imports of U.S. pork. If they went to lower-efficiency racto-free production they might not be able to get into that market anyway.

That feeling was shared by Canadian hog market analyst Kevin Grier, who can’t see the racto-free transition in Canada as a true success for the North American industry.

“It’s a topic that I find frustrating because it is a product that is approved internationally,” said Grier.

“It’s a non-tariff barrier.”

He acknowledged the booming sales of Canadian pork to China in 2016 and 2017, but said those come at a cost of accepting an unscientific concern affecting production, without necessarily providing a permanent premium.

“All we are now is commoditized,” said Grier.

His colleague, Al Mussell, an agricultural economist with AgriFood Economic Systems, had the same lack of enthusiasm for the growth of the racto-free market and the Canadian packing industry’s decision to jump aboard.

“It seems like a niche market that became a de facto ban,” said Mussell.

In the end, all it does is raise the price of pork.

Practical considerations Nobody approached for this article expressed concerns about the safety of ractopamine. While Russia, China the EU and other markets ban or severely limit its use, sometimes saying its safety has not yet been adequately proven, nothing has shown it to b e a d a n g e ro u s p ro d u c t at approved levels But none of that matters to most of Canada’s pig farmers and packers. It’s been an entirely practical situation of needing to supply customers with what they want to buy.

“I don’t totally agree with the

FACTS ABOUT RACTOPANIME • Ractopamine use as a feed additive is authorized in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Almost two dozen countries have approved ractopamine as safe for use.

• Its use in food animals has been banned in more than 160 countries, including Russia, China and the EU. • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its use in pigs in 1999.

• A peer-reviewed study submitted to the Journal of Animal Science says ractopamine promotes deposition of lean tissue at the expense of fat, providing substantial improvements in weight gain and lean tissue growth. That study concluded that ractopamine has been found to affect the behavior, heart rate and catecholamine profile of finishing pigs and making them more difficult to handle and potentially more susceptible to handling and transport stress.

• The international reference standard Codex Alimentarius Commission has set a maximum residue limit of 10 parts per billion for muscle cuts of beef and pork. push by the consumer,” noted Hofer, whose instincts usually propel him to use the most efficient methods possible.

“But we’ve always differentiated ourselves around quality and unique product. That’s our reputation around the world.”

Part of that means being able to give the buyer what they think is important.

More flexibility in Canada Canada’s ability to take advantage of the racto-free market comes from its small and flexible slaughter plants, said Stordy.

Not only does Canada have some smaller plants that can quickly change production methods in response to consumer demands, but those packers also have a history of being willing to cater their meat to overseas preferences.

The biggest North American plants, like most in the U.S., loath to monkey around with their basic production speed, but many of Canada’s plants are willing to “slow down the line” to provide different cuts of meat for various customers.

“That doesn’t always happen with our competitors,” said Stordy.

Vielfaure said Canadian meat producers are extremely attuned to their customers, so for many, being smaller wasn’t bad.

“It’s different philosophies,” said Vielfaure. “For Canada it opened up China.”

The U.S. has a massive domestic market and is less reliant on export sales than Canada. ed.white@producer.com

Wet fields muddy seeding outlook Rain proves to be a major setback for many farmers in central and northern parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Denis Guindon started seeding on May 11, which is the exact same date he was done last year.

Two days after he hopped on the tractor his already soggy farm near F a l h e r, A l t a . , r e c e i v e d 5 0 millimetres of rain. It shut him down for a week.

He got going again on May 21 for a couple of days and then received another 38 mm of moisture.

Guindon was finally back in fields May 26 but the conditions were less than ideal.

“I’m not doing a good job. I’m not happy with it. But I’ve got to go mudding it in,” he said.

The low spots of fields that were seeded are full of water and sloughs are expanding.

His peas had emerged and he was in the midst of seeding wheat as of May 26, but he hadn’t even started putting canola in the ground.

Guindon figures he will be three to four weeks behind getting his canola planted. His biggest concern is that the late crop will succumb to a fall frost.

Some friends and neighbours are in worse shape. He knows guys that just got started on May 23. Others were busy re-seeding some of this year’s crop or waiting to harvest what remains from 2016.

And it’s not just a Peace region issue. Guindon’s brother, who works as a hired hand on a 14,000 acre farm near Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., has been stuck in mud eight times this spring. The guy he works with has been stuck nine times.

Unusually plentiful May rain in the prime canola growing regions of Alberta and Saskatchewan has set back the development of Western Canada’s top crop.

Much of central and northern Alberta and northwestern Saskatchewan received between 15 and 65 mm of rain last week. It fell on land that in many cases was already saturated.

It has been wet in northeastern Saskatchewan as well where 87 percent of the oilseed crops that had been seeded were behind normal development, according to Sas-

Shawn Senko, the Canola Council of Canada’s agronomy specialist for northeastern Saskatchewan, said canola would ideally be seeded before the beginning of June in his area but many guys were just getting rolling as of May 29.

Senko said there is incredible variability in seeding progress in the northeast. Some guys are clipping along, while others hadn’t turned a wheel.

He estimates the farms that are really wet are two weeks behind normal. Crop that did get planted is delayed in development due to the cool weather. It is just emerging.

If conditions were ideal, it would be in the two- to three-leaf stage of development.

The late start may or may not have an impact on yields and production.

“It could mean almost nothing or if we do get that blasting heat or early frost, it could mean a lot. It’s just a riskier situation to be in,” said Senko.

Some farmers scoffed at Saskatchewan Agriculture’s estimate that five percent of the province’s projected crop area will go unseeded due to excess moisture. They think it will be much higher.

Senko isn’t sure what to think

because conditions are so “pockety” this year. But he knows growers can “pound in” a lot of crop in a hurry and there were still three weeks to the crop insurance deadline as of May 29.

Manitoba’s planting is going well but only about half of Alberta’s canola crop was planted as of May 23, which is below the five-year average.

Seeding progress was about onethird complete in the northeastern, northwestern and Peace regions of the province where it has been particularly wet.

biggest concerns with a delayed canola crop is that it may be flowering during the heat of July and that can reduce yields.

But he said it’s too early to get overly concerned.

“We don’t know what the summer is going to be like, so we could slip through without a big problem,” said Cutts.

However, AccuWeather is calling for hot and dry weather during summer culminating in drought in central and northern Alberta where the crop is late getting planted.

FLAX

European flax sales still not picking up Russia is a strong contender in the flax market and Canadian industry officials are seeing their exports fall

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada has not recaptured the European flax market this year as some had predicted.

In fact, sales to the EU are down 19 percent so far compared to the previous year, according to Canadian Grain Commission statistics.

The belief was that exports to the EU would rise after the European Commission tightened its tolerance level for haloxyfop to .01 parts per million from .1 ppm in the summer of 2016.

Haloxyfop is a Dow grass herbicide that is used extensively on flax crops in Russia and Kazakhstan but is not registered in Canada.

Black Sea flax made huge inroads in the EU following the 2009 Triffid incident, in which trace amounts of an unapproved line of genetically modified flax were discovered in shipments from Canada.

Flax industry officials thought the haloxyfop incident would help Canada win back some of the lost market share, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

“We were expecting to see a little more activity than we’re seeing,” said Don Kerr, president of the Flax Council of Canada.

“It’s a bit of a disappointment that we didn’t see more activity that way.”

An issue with herbicide residue is less problematic than expected. | FILE PHOTO

Meanwhile, Russia is exporting a record amount of the crop, including to the EU.

The country shipped 514,700 tonnes of the crop between September 2016 and April 2017. That is

a 47 percent increase over the same period a year ago, according to APK Inform-Agency, an agribusiness consulting firm operating in the Black Sea region.

Turkey was the top market for Russian flax, accounting for 38 percent of exports followed by Belgium at 32 percent and Latvia at 13 percent.

Kerr said Russian flax that has been rejected by the EU is making its way to Turkey, where it is being crushed. The flax oil is then being shipped all over the world, including back to the EU. “That might be the reason why we haven’t seen such an increase in Canadian shipments,” he said.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, speculated that another reason is that a lot more Russian flax than originally anticipated is testing negative for haloxyfop, meaning it meets the EU standard, keeping the door open to trade with the EU. “Some Russian flax is still flowing in there,” he said.

Canada’s export program is down 31,800 tonnes from the previous year because of slumping sales to the EU, China and the United States.

However, Canadian production was down 363,000 tonnes, so 201617 carryout should shrink. LeftField expects it to fall to 103,000 tonnes

from 274,000 tonnes a year ago.

The outlook for the coming year depends a lot on what happens with seeded acres. Statistics Canada is forecasting 1.11 million acres, a 19 percent increase from last year.

LeftField is forecasting a smaller total supply than last year and 64,000 tonnes of 2017-18 ending stocks, which would be the smallest carryout since 2005.

“That should be friendly for the market,” said Penner.

He anticipates U.S. demand should rebound. The U.S. is slowly working its way through a glut of supply from its 2015 crop. U.S. farmers intend to plant 313,000 acres of flax, a 16 percent decrease from the previous year.

Chinese flax demand has been growing by 100,000 tonnes a year.

“I don’t know that we can keep that trajectory going, but it certainly points to at least stable to larger demand again in 2017-18,” said Penner.

Early indications are that Russia and Kazakhstan will plant less flax than last year, and it is unlikely they will have a second consecutive year of record yields.

“Even if they come back to just an average yield, we’ll see smaller crops,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

OILSEEDS

Big soybean potential holds back hope for canola rally MARKET WATCH

F

armers in the northern part of the Prairies, struggling against wet, cold soils to seed their canola crops, might wonder why the oilseed’s futures appear to be not reacting to the late planting.

Conditions are such that the expected 22.4 million seeded

EARN CASH BACK agishare.com

canola acres might be scaled back.

Also, delays and cool weather now could mean that more canola than normal will bloom in the hottest part of the summer, if we get a hot summer.

The weather might yet co-operate enough to remove crop worries, but at this point the picture does not bode well for strong production in a year when total supply will be affected by the smallest carry-in stocks in many years.

However, new crop November canola futures May 1 to May 29 slipped almost $12 a tonne or 2.4 percent. Probably almost no one in Canada is selling new crop canola at this point. Those who pre-sold

some of their 2017 crop did so months ago when the price was stronger.

However, it is frustrating to watch a market sag when a potential production problem is emerging.

But canola markets do not act independently. Issues in the wider oilseed market and currenc y moves contribute to the weaker canola market.

Soybean futures from May 1 to the close on May 26 fell 2.9 percent and soy oil was down 0.9 percent.

In the same period, the Canadian dollar has rallied about US1.15 cents or about 1.6 percent. The stronger loonie puts downward pressure on canola.

The Canadian economy is starting to rebound, sparking talk that the Bank of Canada might have to raise interest rates this year. And the market’s hope for aggressive tax cutting and stimulus spending in the U.S., which lifted the American buck early this year, is bogged down with President Donald Trump’s political problems.

The strength of oilseed prices at the beginning of May was associated with American seeding prospects that were threatened. The last weekend of April saw a massive storm dump snow on Kansas and huge amounts of rain on the southern Midwest.

But since then, weather in the

Midwest has improved and planting has caught up to the five-year average, although some crops had to be reseeded.

A record large soybean acreage is expected and there is excellent moisture in many parts of the Midwest.

The record large South American soybean harvest is still streaming onto the world market.

With such price-limiting news in the soybean market, it is hard to spark much of a rally in canola.

Sunflower acres expected to drop Diseases take toll as producers switch to soy

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

It’s become a familiar story in Manitoba. If growers have a choice between soybeans and another crop, beans usually win out.

Such is the case this spring with sunflowers. Soybeans will set another acreage record and sunflowers will possibly hit the second lowest level ever in the province.

Statistics Canada has predicted 50,000 acres of sunflowers in Canada, almost entirely in Manitoba.

The National Sunflower Association of Canada is hoping acres are slightly higher, maybe 60,000, but acreage will definitely be lower than last year.

“We did assume that was going to come, knowing that some of our competitive crops are having higher acreage,” said executive director Darcelle Graham.

Sunflowers are more challenging to grow than soybeans, mostly because it’s difficult to manage diseases such as sclerotinia.

Growers will tolerate the additional management because the

crop can be highly profitable, but the market for sunflowers is softer this year. Growers in North Dakota and South Dakota, the two biggest producers of sunflowers in the United States, had a huge crop in 2016 and the carryover is weighing on prices.

“We had some producers here that had basically two years crop in one year. That’s how high their yields were,” said John Sandbakken, executive director of the U.S. National Sunflower Association.

Yields are typically around 1,700 pounds per acre in North Dakota, but last year a number of growers had yields around 3,000 lb.

Buyers in the Dakotas are offering US15 cents per lb. for old crop oilseed sunflowers, significantly down from 19 to 20 cents per lb. in 2015.

Prices are stronger in Canada, thanks to the weak loonie and because many farmers grow confectionary sunflowers, which sell at a premium to oil sunflowers.

However, producers in southwestern Manitoba, where the

majority of sunflowers are grown, are still turning to alternate crops.

“We’re seeing that corn and soybean acres are being able to move west because of the advances they’ve made with hybrids,” Graham said.

“That certainly is taking away from sunflowers.”

Acres are also expected to drop in

North Dakota, mostly because prices are depressed.

“We’re competitive (with other crops) when the market rewards growers,” Sandbakken said.

Prices could stagnate for a while because sunflowers compete with canola and soybeans in the vegetable oil market. Record canola acres are projected for Western

Canada, and U.S. growers may plant 90 million acres of beans, w h i c h w o u l d s hatt e r t h e o l d record of 83 million.

Sandbakken said fewer sunflower acres this year may reduce the supply, which should boost prices going into 2018.

armers probably haven’t been driving their tractors into the ditch with excitement while listening to markets news.

It’s been a bit dull, to be honest.

Some analysts think this mood might linger into summer unless something big happens.

“There are little ripples that might become a story, but they aren’t stories yet.”

Though the spring, crop futures markets haven’t roared higher or sagged lower. There was a sharp but short weather rally in winter wheat markets, spurred by a snowstorm that hit the southern plains at the end of April. There have also been numerous small events-ofthe-day that have momentarily moved markets.

As well, there are various situations traders and analysts are watching: • Rumours of early U.S. corn crops looking weak, and some looking good.

• Unseeded acres affecting canola production expectations in

• Stocks of various crops being adjusted.

• Local storms hitting some parts of the globe, and other parts enjoying good weather.

In other words, there’s no big story right now to sweep markets along one way or the other.

Calgary broker Errol Anderson said it’s not just crop markets that are dull. It’s almost everything.

“The whole world right now is in a kind of dulled state,” said Anderson.

“There’s a total lack of inflation.”

Without strong growth or serious economic slumping, the markets have little to trade off, allowing volatility to decline to low levels.

Options strategy As he sat in his office on a quiet May 29, with American markets closed due to the Memorial Day holiday, Anderson spent time putting together bids for bull call option spreads on corn.

Not only was this better than playing tiddlywinks, but he was trying to take advantage of the market’s low volatility to get a discount on the call option spread.

A bull call spread subsidizes the purchase of an at-the-money or close-to-the-money call by selling

an out-of-the-money call. That gives the spread holder an ability to benefit from higher prices at a lower cost than buying a call. The potential gains are capped at the higher call’s value.

Anderson was putting in bids for bull call spreads of $3.80-$4.30 per bushel on September Chicago corn futures at a 12 cents per bushel premium, while usually at this time of year he’d have to bid 18 cents for that spread.

“If it’s gets filled it’s a four-to-one ratio, which is unheard of at this time of year,” said Anderson. The potential gain at 12 cents is 38 cents per bushel, which is the difference between $3.80 plus the 12 cents premium and the $4.30 cap.

“Usually it’s three-to-one.”

There’s no reason to assume the corn market will rally this summer, but “they’ve got weeks and weeks of summer weather market volatility and all that could spark.”

Wi t h n o r t h e r n h e m i s p h e re crops exposed to whatever the weather brings, something could happen to spark a rally.

But for now, that is just speculation. The markets are snoozing.

“It can’t get much duller,” said Anderson. ed.white@producer.com

Without strong growth or serious economic slumping, the markets have little to trade off, allowing volatility to decline to low levels.

Feedlot placements jump to 14-year high CHICAGO, May 26 (Reuters) Feedlots placed 11 percent more cattle on feed in April than a year earlier, the most for the month in 14 years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported May 26, beating average forecasts.

Feedlots were making money from selling slaughter weight cattle at strong prices and that allowed them to buy more calves for fattening.

The demand prompted ranchers to drive cattle into feedlots ahead of schedule.

Cattle that entered commercial feeding pens in April will start arriving at packing plants around late summer, which could help keep a lid on fed cattle and beef prices at that time, said analysts.

“This report highlights the idea that we’re going to have a few extra cattle waiting for us,” said Allendale Inc chief strategist Rich Nelson.

Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures on May 26 slumped more than two percent, partly because of the larger-thanexpected April placement, said analysts and traders.

The USDA pegged placements at 1.848 million head, up from 1.664 million in April 2016 and above the average forecast of 1.777 million. It was the most for the month since 1.870 million in 2003.

The feedlot cattle supply as of May 1 was at 10.998 million head, up two percent from 10.783 million a year ago. Analysts, on average, forecast a 0.8 percent gain.

Marketings were up three percent in April from a year ago, to 1.703 million head. Analysts expected a 1.8 percent increase.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE LOWER The Canfax weekly weighted average for fed steers was $170.57 per hundredweight, down $3.87 while heifers were down $3.42 to $169.81.

Prices fell as the Chicago cattle futures market, the U.S. cash market and U.S. beef prices also all fell.

American packers were buying for a short week because of the U.S. Memorial Day holiday.

U.S. cash prices for slaughter cattle were US$132 to $133 per cwt. down from $133 to $134 the week before.

The trade will closely watch for how much beef was sold over the holiday, as the data will set the tone for June.

In Western Canada, railgrade sales for the first half of June delivery were at C$287 delivered compared to second half of June prices at $285.

More calves are coming to the market as they usually do this time of year.

Carcass weights are much lower than last year, so more cattle are grading AA and fewer AAA and Prime.

The AAA and Prime share of all grades was 54.79 percent, the lowest since June last year.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to May 19 was 38,980 head, up nine percent from last year. But because carcasses are smaller, beef production is up only three percent..

Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis was +$4.80. The basis usually weakens into June.

Weekly fed exports to May 13 totalled 8,934 head, the second largest weekly volume this year.

Larger market-ready numbers are on the horizon. Packers are becoming more comfortable with supply so there is more downside price risk than upside potential.

NON-FED MIXED D1, D2 cows ranged $100-$118 to average $110.60, up $1.20. D3 cows ranged $90-$105 to average $99.25.

Railgrade cows ranged $205$210, steady.

Slaughter bulls averaged $128.25, down $1.02.

Weekly western Canadian nonfed slaughter to May 20 rose 18 percent to 6,046 head. For the year,

slaughter is up eight percent.

Weekly exports to May 13 dipped to 3,651 head. For the year they are down 27 percent at 71,817 head.

Strong trim and hamburger demand will support non-fed prices as supplies seasonally tighten.

FEEDERS LOWER The feeder steer average was down 58 cents per cwt. and heifers fell $2.26.

Alberta auction volume fell.

Only a few stocker calves traded and prices were mixed on varied quality and lot size.

Feeder steers heavier than 600 pounds were steady to $2.25 lower and similar weight heifers were mostly steady to $3.25 lower.

In Manitoba, 900 lb. heifers for September delivery were in the mid $170s and increased forward

pricing is anticipated.

Large feeders are routinely being sold at a profit, rather than being fed to finish because risk is increasing for the fall fed market.

Auction volumes have topped last year’s pace for the past five weeks. The total is up 20 percent.

Weekly exports to May 13 edged higher to 2,991 head. For the year, exports are down 38 percent at 68,984 head.

More fed calves will be marketed in June and feedlots will be looking for bunk replacements.

Recent rain in the western Prairies will help pastures and encourage buying for placement on grass.

Cow-calf pairs ranged $1,825 to $3,050.

BEEF FALLS U.S. boxed beef to May 25 fell,

with Choice down US$1.10 at $246.11 per cwt. and Select down $2.68 at $218.98.

Cut-out prices typically fall after the Memorial Day long weekend.

The recent run up in beef prices has narrowed profits at the retail level meaning there will likely be fewer beef features in June.

Weekly Canadian boxed beef to May 20 saw AAA rise C$15.93 to $312.94 while AA was down $2.28 to $284.70. AAA ribs posted a strong increase as grilling demand picked up.

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Farmers leery of grain company mergers

F

armers concerned about how a wave of consolidation in the agricultural chemical sector will affect them, might soon see the trend spread to grain companies.

Glencore Agriculture Ltd., the giant commodity corporation’s joint venture that owns Viterra, last week made an informal approach to global grain trader Bunge Ltd. regarding a “possible consensual business combination.”

Bunge responded coolly, but the event sparked a wave of speculation about what might happen in the normally staid world of the world’s biggest grain traders.

Bunge and Archer Daniels Midland recently admitted publicly that they were struggling in an environment of oversupplied global markets that limit profitmaking opportunities.

More of the world’s farmers have storage and financing options to allow them to hold on to crops when prices are weak.

Grain users are in no mood to get into bidding wars that would lift prices and crop trader profits. Also, small players focused on organics, non-GMO and other niche areas are siphoning off business from the major players.

Business analysts say the sector is ripe for new partnerships or consolidation.

Bunge’s chief executive officer Soren Schroder recently spoke on the issue. “It is very clear that there are too many trying to do the same thing with a small margin. So there is need for consolidation…,” he said noting Bunge’s interest in partnerships.

We don’t know if Glencore’s approach to Bunge will succeed, but it would be an interesting partnership that would touch Canadian farmers in several ways.

Glencore bought Viterra, the company that grew out of the various mergers of the old grain co-ops, in 2012. To avoid competition concerns, it sold most of its agri products retail operations to Agrium

and some grain elevators and processing operations to Richardson International.

Glencore, struggling from huge debt last year, sold 40 percent of Viterra to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and 9.99 percent to the British Columbia Investment Management Corp. Its balance sheet has since improved.

Meanwhile, Bunge in 2002 acquired several oilseed crushing plants when it bought CanAmera Foods Ltd., which was once partly owned by Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and United Grain Growers.

In 2015, Bunge partnered with Saudi Agriculture and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC) to form G3 Global Grain Group and became the majority owner of G3 Canada, created from the assets of the former Canadian Wheat Board. In 2016, SALIC put more money in G3 Global Holdings, raising its ownership stake in the joint venture to 75 percent, leaving Bunge with 25 percent.

History buffs would note that a Glencore/ Viterra-Bunge partnership would put the successor of the prairie wheat pools together with the successor of the CWB. Would a Viterra-G3 partnership provide better competition to Richardson, Cargill, P&H and Paterson?

But the Canadian situation would be a sideshow to Glencore’s real goal: to move up the ranks to become a global ag player along with ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, the so-called ABCDs of the grain fraternity. It would add a G to those initials.

Consolidation is a constant trend in agriculture — farmers do it themselves.

But farmers are suspicious of any consolidation in the companies they deal with.

They are already price takers with little market power.

Part of the drive in going with direct marketing was to keep the small farm. The reality is if you are just a commodity farmer on a small scale it is extremely tough, but if you get into value-added and direct marketing, it is a whole other line of work, but you can get more profit.

THE RAISIN DEBATE

The great Canadian butter tart tour — yes, it’s real CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

A

few weeks ago, I asked my good friend Jace if he wanted to go on a three-hour road trip with me during the May long weekend and eat butter tarts.

He sounded a bit incredulous, apparently not understanding the butter tart aspect of the trip But it’s a thing, I assured him.

Ontario is famous for its butter tarts and you can download a road map and help find them.

There was silence on the phone, a long pause followed by a tentative agreement.

I agreed to pick him up Saturday remarking he wouldn’t regret it.

I love a good road trip. There’s

something about packing up the cooler and hitting the road with a skeleton of a plan that usually evolves as the day progresses.

Jace and I have been friends since university. He’s been roped into a few of these Kelsey-ventures over the years. These adventures typically involve a standard, even somewhat mundane, activity like raspberry picking or a day at the outdoor waterslides that almost always result in a story, or several, that are recalled among friends for years to come.

But back to butter tarts.

Eastern Ontario is revered for its versions of these succulent pastries. Drive through most any small town and almost every restaurant, country mart and general store has them. Many of them are located on the Kawartha Lakes Butter Tart Tour self-guided map available online.

There are whole festivals dedicated to the dessert and its many varieties. Every June, Midland, Ont., has a festival. It’s billed as

Ontario’s Best Butter Tart Festival, with some 150,000 butter tarts available. Folks from all over the province come to gorge themselves on the crumbly, buttery treats, with awards handed out for the best tarts.

Our tour, which ended up being a 900 kilometres, 11-hour jaunt through Peterborough County, did not land us in Midland.

Instead, we stuffed our faces with tarts made by locals from Apsley, Woodview and Buckhorn. While all were delicious, our favourites were made by Rachel Conlin, who owns Irish Hill Farms with her husband, Tim, near Apsley.

Irish Hill Farms was a gem we stumbled upon after meandering down Ontario’s back roads for five hours.

I’d love to know what Tim was thinking when two city slickers in a royal blue Yaris pulled into his laneway where a family of geese lounged a safe distance away from the family’s friendly farm dog.

Tim told us that Rachel had taken

the latest batch of tarts into town that morning. But as we chatted and explained our butter tart tour, he seemed to become more bemused.

I don’t blame him because who drives five hours for butter tarts?

He told us to wait outside and ducked into the house.

A few minutes later, he emerged with four paper towels caressing four beautiful butter tarts the size of hockey pucks. He said Rachel had decided they were too flakey to sell and had left them behind that morning.

He told us that anyone who drives five hours for butter tarts should have them, as long as we promised to go meet Rachel in town and tell her our story.

We whole-heartedly agreed.

They were the best darned butter tarts either of us had ever eaten (sorry Mom). The homemade pastry melted in our mouths, while the filling was like caramel heaven. We inhaled the four tarts during the five minute drive back to town.

We spent the next 15 minutes laughing our heads off with Rachel at her market stand, savouring yet another sweet memory.

As an aside, did you know a heated debate revolves around whether butter tarts with raisins are actually butter tarts? Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has weighed in on the issue. He said no raisins. Yours truly disagrees.

CONSERVATIVE RACE

Pig trial closes, the circus is over

Farmers’ votes allowed Scheer to win

BY MATT MCINTOSH

S

o the trial, informally referred to as the “pig trial” has come to a close and the farming community leaves the courtroom with disappointment.

Sort of.

Rather than a one-sided legal win for animal rights activism, the verdict delivered in this mischief case actually supports Ontario farmers in a number of ways.

Let’s start with the main conclusion.

The mischief charge central to this case related to an animal activist impeding a load of pigs during transportation to a Burlington processing plant.

As described by Justice David Harris in his verdict, this charge pursued by the crown was dismissed because activists did not directly stop or impede the truck from moving; instead, they took advantage of a red light.

The “unknown substance” issue around giving water to the animals in the truck also failed to prevent any change in the regular delivery and processing of the hogs. Justice Harris concluded there did not appear to be any obstruction, interruption, or interference with the lawful use, enjoyment, or operation of the pigs.

That said, Justice Harris reaffirmed the right for farmers to raise and transport livestock unhindered. He also recognized the “highly regulated” nature of livestock transport, where things like temperature, humidity and ride duration actually do factor into decision making.

In addition, Harris referred to some of the defendant’s views as taking things “much further” than

R In a recent case, an Ontario judge reaffirmed the right for farmers to raise and transport livestock unhindered. | FILE PHOTO what was supported by testifying scientists, scientists that were specifically chosen to support the defence team. He pointed out, for instance, the contextual irrelevancy and absurdity of comparing the defendant with civil-rights icons, while highlighting the juicy media clips such comparisons provided.

He also disagreed with some of the “expert” opinions delivered in support of the defence, in part because the individuals providing testimony were not qualified to make many of their conclusions and because of obvious biases.

In terms of the act of giving water to pigs, Justice Harris also noted the defendant “did not need to break the law” to achieve her initial objective; providing water for “temporary relief” was, he says, ineffective anyway since the pigs would all have

been watered upon arriving at the plant in a few minutes.

He pointed out that had the pigs really been in such a poor state, they all would not have been accepted at the plant, and they were.

Overall, he judged the defendant would not have been acting with “legal justification or colour of right” even if the law had indeed been broken.

Notably, Justice Harris recognized that the whole case was at its core, an opportunity for animal rights groups to promote their worldview in the media.

As his verdict describes, the whole affair required five days of evidence, one day of submissions, one day for judgment, and countless remand appearances.

All in all, this provided the defence with “all the publicity they

could hope for.”

And while this trial was going on, on the final day of testimony, a murder trial in the next courtroom had neither spectators nor media.

The whole thing was a circus, and one that became more visceral once the verdict was handed down.

The initially docile activist group even got a little physical and that’s to say nothing of the rather colourful emails and phone calls received into our office after the fact.

Still, the fact remains that the legal result has changed little.

What remains to be seen, however, is how protesters fare with and use their next charge of obstructing police.

Supply management faces its biggest threat yet HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

D

airy farmers across Canada no doubt heaved a sigh of relief during the weekend with Andrew Scheer edging out Maxime Bernier as leader of the federal Conservatives.

Ending supply management was a key plank in Bernier’s campaign.

He argued that it costs consumers across the country to the benefit of a relatively few farmers. Scheer supports supply management, as do most federal politicians of all political stripes.

According to political pundits, many dairy farmers bought Conservative memberships just so they

could vote against Bernier. This was particularly true in Bernier’s home province of Quebec where a lot of small dairy farms operate.

Relatively few of these farmers would be Conservative party supporters, but they took advantage of the political process to try and influence the party leadership.

With Scheer’s razor-thin win over Bernier in the preferential ballot, it’s possible that they actually tipped the balance.

Farmers are a tiny percentage of the overall population and agriculture is not the country’s biggest economic driver. Despite this, farmers can punch well above their weight when united and vocal.

Just look at the recently announced grain transportation legislation. Farm groups, commodity organizations and the grain shippers were all making the same recommendations with well-reasoned arguments and the federal government responded.

In the case of supply manage-

ment, a battle has been won, but the war continues. It’s useful for their cause to have the leader of the official opposition, a potential prime minister, as an avowed supply management supporter.

However, the immediate threat comes from the impending renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. With President Donald Trump singling out Canadian dairy policy as something that needs to be fixed, it’s difficult to believe that supply management will survive unscathed.

At a minimum, American access will be increased. Depending upon the level of American dairy imports, the entire supply management system may need to be revamped or scrapped altogether.

Then the issue becomes one of compensation. Should dairy farmers receive government payments for their loss in quota value?

While it varies across the country, the dairy quota for just one milking cow is in the range of $30,000.

Quota value makes up a huge chunk of net farm value.

A well-established dairy farm with little or no debt could withstand a significant drop in quota values. Not so for highly leverage operations. It’s akin to a farmland seeing a rapid depreciation in value. The balance sheet quickly tilts.

If the rules around imports change and quota values are adversely affected, are dairy farmers owed government compensation and if so, how should this be structured? Many billions of dollars could be involved.

These are discussions we could well be having in the months ahead.

Supply management has faced many perceived and some real threats over the decades. Its toughest test is just around the corner.

Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

egina-Qu’Appelle MP Andrew Scheer’s weekend victory as the leader of the federal Conservative party has precluded a partisan political debate over the future of Canada’s supply management system in the dairy and poultry sectors.

Maxime Bernier, who led in support during the campaign and all the way to the last ballot, had vowed to scrap supply management. Scheer supports it.

And while it would have been interesting to see Bernier debate the merits of the system with the Trudeau Liberals in the next election, we are probably better off leaving that debate for another time. It would not do well for Canada’s political parties to be so split on the issue as Canada prepares to take on U.S. President Donald Trump in renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Still, it looks like supply management played a significant role in bringing down Bernier, allowing Scheer’s stunning victory over the man who was perceived to hold such a lead that high-profile candidate Kevin O’Leary quit, saying he couldn’t make headway in Quebec, but Bernier could.

O’Leary obviously isn’t a student of politics.

Scheer won Bernier’s riding of Beauce, where there are many dairy farmers. In fact, Bernier lost more than half of the province’s 70 ridings, with farmers saying they mobilized against him.

The Globe and Mail observed that “Mr. Bernier’s position hurt him in Quebec and was a key part of Mr. Scheer’s success.”

Bernier’s own adviser, Martin Masse, took it further, saying the dairy farmers made the difference.

Sheer agreed.

So there you have it. Farmers roared.

Sheer, 38, grew up in Ottawa and his French is said to be passable, so it’s not inconceivable that he could be a strong contender to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in the 2019 election, though the Liberals’ support remains strong.

Scheer is a former Speaker of the Hou se, so h e ha s ea r ned th e respect of his colleagues, which is significant because his opinions will carry weight not just by the heft of his position, but also by the grounds of his rationale.

Given that he has to answer to voters in his home Saskatchewan riding, that bodes well for farmers. brian.macleod@producer.com

HEARTLESS BUDGET To the Editor: The recent provincial budget is brutal and heartless with total disregard for the citizens of Saskatchewan.

Cuts to educational funding, cuts to programs and services for autistic

children. Cuts to libraries. The incentive program to keep doctors in rural areas has been cut. People on social assistance will no longer have their funeral costs paid for. The dissolution of the Saskatchewan Hearing Aid Plan. The elimination of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company. The list goes on and on.

The Saskatchewan Transportation Co. was established in 1946 by Tommy Douglas as a service for the people. Douglas believed that his mandate was to make life better for his people. The Saskatchewan Party, under the leadership of Brad Wall, is the complete antithesis of this mentality. STC was never expected to produce revenue. It is a service that helps to alleviate the isolation of many of our small towns.

The buses are not always full, but they are being used. Consider the single mother sending children to visit their father on a regular basis, the cancer patient travelling for treatment, students travelling between home and school, the elderly with appointments in the major cities, and people who don’t drive because of financial or physical reasons. The money they are saving by denying these people their rights, is one tenth of onepercent of their budget. This is outrageous considering the Saskatchewan Party election platform promised never to sell the crown corporations.

How is it possible to sell somet h i n g t hat d o e s n ’ t b e l o n g t o you? The crowns belong to the people of this province. If you pay

attention to the news, you can see that SGI is next.

As the mother of a deaf daughter, I can assure you that the Saskatchewan Hear ing A id Plan is an invaluable service. Hearing aids can be purchased at the more reasonable price and paid by installments with no interest.

Are you beginning to see a pattern here? The budget is a major step backwards for a society known for protecting the rights and dignity of all its citizens, not just the chosen few. This budget has targeted the financially and physically vulnerable in our society. If your family has not been personally affected by this budget, then consider you are one of the lucky few.

But we can’t just stand by and watch everything that makes our

province and our countr y so remarkable slip away. Once these services are gone, we will never get them back. Phone your MLA. Hand out flyers. Sign a petition. Contact any of the above mentioned and donate an hour of your time.

If you wish to find more information on what is happening in our province, Google “Stop the Cuts SK” to find petitions and events happening around you.

Together, we can make a difference. As the late, great John Lennon once said—Power to the people!

Recently, there has been a public push by the Western Canadian Wheat Growers to change the Canadian varietal registration and grading system to allow American grown wheat full access into our export system. As usual, their simplistic approach ignores the economic pitfalls that Canadian farmers will face should this occur.

Canada’s grading system is unique in the world, with all of the wheat varieties that are accepted into our system assigned to a specific class that is based upon their characteristics. These characteristics include such things as protein content, and ensure uniformity within the class so that our customers are assured of a product that meets their end needs.

The Americans, however, simply accept any variety that is put forward, and it is up to customers to test each and every shipment to determine if it meets their specifications. As well, it is up to every farmer to decide if a variety meets both their own agronomic needs, and the end-use needs of potential customers.

Canada’s unsurpassed reputation for the world’s best quality wheat will be put at risk if we allow inferior quality American varieties unfettered access to our handling system.

Our customers will no longer be assured that the grain they purchase meets the exacting standards and uniformity that has been Canada’s hallmark of a superior product.

This most recent lobby by the WCWG threatens to debase Canadian farmers’ quality system, and endangers our ability to provide a superior product to our customers.

Canadian farmers have to stand up for our world-class system. We can’t afford to let our standards be degraded by relinquishing the advantages we have developed over the last century.

NEWS FARM INCOME

Farm debt climbs in 2016 but realized net income reached record levels

BY KAREN BRIERE

Farm income and debt figures released last week by Statistics Canada indicate a financially strong sector, said Farm Credit Canada’s chief economist J.P. Gervais.

The federal agency holds a sizable chunk of the total $96 billion in outstanding debt as of 2016, but farmers also recorded record realized net income of $8.8 billion, an increase of eight percent.

“We still have in Canada, despite some significant growth in debt, we still have a very healthy ag sector, a financially healthy ag sector with a strong balance sheet,” Gervais told reporters on a conference call.

Farm debt rose about 7.3 percent and although statistics on asset values aren’t yet available, Gervais said they are likely to have increased. Farmland values are up on average 7.9 percent.

He said debt has probably gone

up faster than asset values but starting from a position of strength means less worry.

Gervais said farm income is the primary driver of debt repayment and those statistics are positive. Net cash income is the best measure for debt repayment capacity, he said.

Farm cash receipts are basically flat with an increase of just .5 percent to $60 billion. Saskatchewan and British Columbia recorded the largest decreases of 2.5 percent.

Overall, crop receipts rose about six percent to $33.8 billion. Livestock receipts fell by 3.2 percent for hogs and 17.7 percent for cattle for a total of $23.8 billion.

Operating expenses declined slightly, by .9 percent, to $44.2 billion.

“So, if you look at the ability to meet debt payments, for example, net cash incomes, which is your revenues minus operating expenses, it went up 4.6 percent,” Gervais said.

Total farm debt in Canada, $billions*:

Producers are taking on debt and that should be monitored, but generally balance sheets are strong, he said.

He advised farmers and their lenders to run scenarios to examine how they could handle sudden changes, such as a dramatic drop in income or a crop failure.

When FCC approves a loan, it

runs scenarios to understand future financial situations.

“I think everybody needs to do it at least once a year, if not on a quarterly basis,” Gervais said. “That would be my number one recommendation.”

Reverse stress testing, in which the scenario assumes that income drops rather than interest rates ris-

ing, is also worthwhile, he said.

The statistics released May 24 found that realized net income grew in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta.

Program payments rose 13.8 percent to $2.4 billion. karen.briere@producer.com

GRAIN DELIVERIES

Feds extend comment period on cash deferral program

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal government is giving the Canadian grain industr y another two months to voice their opinions on cash purchase tickets for grain deliveries.

On May 23, the federal finance department issued a statement confirming that the public consultation period on cash purchase tickets for grain would be extended to July 24.

The consultation period was originally scheduled to end May 24.

David Barnabe, senior media relations officer with the federal finance department, said the decision to extend consultations was made at the request of farmers.

“Subsequent to the announcement of the consultation, a number of stakeholders expressed concern that the announced consultation period overlaps with a very busy time of year for farmers and requested an extension of the consultation period,” Barnabe wrote in a May 25 email.

Deferred cash purchase tickets are a popular tool that prairie farmers use to manage cash flow and taxable income.

A farmer who delivers grain to a licensed elevator can arrange to receive a cash purchase ticket in lieu of immediate payment.

The cash purchase ticket allows the farmer to defer income to the following taxation year.

Canadian farmers used the tool to defer an average of more than $2 billion of farm income annually to

ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT OF CANADIAN AGRICULTURE

Stats point to healthy farm sector: FCC REGINA BUREAU

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JUNE 1, 2017

the following tax year between 2012 and 2015.

“In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the value of cash purchase tickets deferred from income was approximately $2.1 billion, $1.7 billion and $2 billion respectively,” Barnabe wrote.

In its most recent federal budget unveiled in March, Ottawa signaled its intention to review the use of cash purchase tickets with the potential to eliminate them.

Ottawa claims that the use of deferred cash purchase tickets for grain is a “departure from the general rule with respect to taxpayers … who are required to include the amount of a security or other evidence of indebtedness received as payment of a currently-payable debt in income in the year in which it is received.”

Alberta Wheat Commission chair Kevin Auch said the tool is used by farmers to make important grain marketing decisions.

“Many farmers use this tool to avoid having to choose between losing a sale that might bump them into a higher tax bracket that year or losing the ability to maximize their revenue due to severe tax Implications,” said Auch.

“For many farmers, eliminating this tool also eliminates the option to sell grain when there is a good price for it.”

New guide helps identify cutworms Field guide includes photos to help farmers easily identify and treat problematic pests in the field

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

This is the time to scout fields for cutworms, and this year farmers have a new resource to help them identify type.

Twenty-one species are itemized in Cutworm Pests of Crops on the Canadian Prairies, an identification and management field guide prepared by Agriculture Canada entomologist and researcher Kevin Floate.

About seven of those species are considered problems on the Prai-

ries, but other species have potential to work their way here. “There’s probably only five or seven species that are repeatedly pest problems on the Prairies,� said Floate. “It’s a rather small group, so the other species on the list include pests that may occur further east.

Black cutworm, for example, is not really a problem in Alberta or Saskatchewan but more in Manitoba and further east.�

The guide discusses cutworm outbreaks, scouting, natural enemies and general control options

but also includes photos and specific species information for better identification.

Redbacks and pale western cutworms have already been reported in Alberta this year, though not at intense levels.

Cutworm species can be difficult even for experts to identify. Some larvae change colour during their life cycle, so photos of the worms as well as the moths are useful for farmers. “We went out of our way to try to get high quality images,� said Floate. “We’ve taken a lot of pains to include content that we think farmers and producers will hopefully enjoy reading but also find useful in controlling their cutworm problems.�

The Canola Council of Canada and the provincial canola groups funded the book project, but different cutworms like different crops, so the gamut of cutworm pest species is included.

Crop rotation means eggs laid in a wheat crop can become a problem in canola the following year, or vice versa, noted Floate.

C h e m i c a l s a re av a i l a b l e t o address severe infestations, but the book avoids specific product mention. Instead, it includes website links to lists of registered options. “Those products may change from year to year, so to prevent this book from becoming out of date quickly, we didn’t want to put a list of products available this year because they might not all be available next year.�

Fortunately for farmers, there is a wide array of natural enemies to cutworm, what Floate referred to as a standing army ready to work for f re e o n p e s t p ro b l e m s. T h e y include parasitoids, predators and pathogens and can be fostered by retaining grasses, forbs and other plants in field margins so the army of beneficial insects and organisms has “barracks.�

Presence of natural enemies is

one reason farmers should take care to properly identify the problem before turning to pesticides that kill cutworms. “If we take action which can decimate that army of natural beneficial insects, then we may amplify the severity of our pest problems,� said Floate. “Absolutely farmers have the option to spray, but that shouldn’t necessarily be their automatic first decision. They really need to assess if it’s economically feasible.�

The book includes information on economic thresholds for spraying if that is the choice. Spot spraying can be useful as well because many cutworm problems affect only small portions of a field. “We’ve had cases where people will bring in insects that they think are cutworms and they’re not cutworms,� said Floate. “They’re not even pest species. But the natural impulse is, if you see a lot of something in a field, the impulse is to assume it’s causing damage.�

As listed in the guide, insects commonly mistaken for cutworms include leatherjackets, millipedes, white grubs and wireworms, and of those only wireworms are considered pests.

Cutworm outbreaks are hard to predict because they are highly dependent on weather. A harsh winter can kill eggs laid in the soil.

Wind can bring moth species north from the United States to lay eggs.

Saturated soil can bring cutworms to the surface, where they are prey to birds and beneficial insects such as wasps and beetles.

The guide is available at prairiepestmonitoring.blogspot.ca/p/ cutworm-corner.html.

Floate said he welcomes comment from farmers and others who may use the material. He can be reached at kevin.floate@agr.gc.ca. barb.glen@producer.com

NEW LEADERSHIP

CropLife Canada appoints new president

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Timing, they say, is everything in life.

Assuming that clichĂŠ is true, Pierre Petelle may have very good timing.

CropLife Canada announced in May that Petelle is its new president and chief executive officer.

He is replacing Ted Menzies, a former Conservative MP and cabinet minister who stepped away from the role in January because of health issues.

Petelle, who was the organization’s vice-president of chemistry, said it’s an opportune time to lead the organization because there is a buzz around agriculture and food in Ottawa. “There seems to be a heightened awareness and heightened interest in what we (CropLife) have to say,�

Petelle said.

The mood around agriculture and food is more fervent, thanks to a report that came out in February.

In The Path to Prosperity , which was

released by the federal finance department’s Advisory Council on Economic Growth, chair Dominic Barton singled out the agri-food sector as a key driver of economic growth. “Canada has the potential for substantial growth and export improvement and the opportunity to become the trusted global leader in safe, nutritious, and sustainable food for the 21st century,� the report said.

Barton also proposed growth targets for agriculture and agri-food: • Canada’s share of global agriculture exports could reach eight percent, up from current levels of 5.7 percent. • The country’s share of global agrifood exports is now 2.8 percent, but could double to 5.6 percent.

The opportunity is substantial, but Barton’s report echoes a wellknown theme in Canada’s agriculture industry. “We were on (a) panel with Dominic Barton a couple a weeks ago,� said Petelle, who has been with

CropLife since 2008. “He said, ‘I just discovered what you guys have known about for a long time, that agriculture is a highly innovative sector that has a lot to (offer).’ �

A positive narrative around agriculture and food should make Petelle’s job easier because CropLife campaigns for a political and regulatory climate that stimulates investment in agriculture innovation.

Petelle, who worked for Health Canada and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency before joining CropLife, said regulations are critical for investment and growth.

If the PMRA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency were better integrated into the broader system, it could fuel economic and export growth, Petelle said. “They (regulators) need to see they are a critical player in the broader picture,� he said. robert.arnason@producer.com

Sun works its magic in Saskatchewan TALES FROM THE ROAD

T

he Canadian Prairies have the world’s most stunning sunrises and sunsets.

Match a colourful sky with dynamite scenery and the effect can be even more dazzling. If you’re wandering around southern Saskatchewan this summer, try these five fabulous and easy to reach viewpoints to watch the sun do its magic.

Conglomerate Cliffs The name comes from the millions of small, round rocks naturally cemented together eons ago. The cliffs face east, on the edge of the escarpment in the West Block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.

In mid-summer, the rising sun clears the horizon on the plains below, shining up at the cliffs and flooding the rocks with an intense crimson glow. The scene is framed by mixed woods forest, Adams Lake below, and green grasslands in the distance.

The main approach to the West Block is southwest of Maple Creek on Highway 271. Signs along the main road through the park point the way to the Conglomerate Cliffs.

Castle Butte This place will have you seeing red as well. The most easily accessible landmark of the Big Muddy Badlands, 60-metre high Castle Butte sits by itself on the wide valley floor.

Impressive at any time, the muddylooking formation changes its character with the low sun. While sunset is attractive, sunrise is even better, especially in summer when the sun comes up over the lowest part of the valley and strikes the monolith, suddenly bathing it in an almost flaming red. For a different perspective, take the road up the valley slope just west of the butte and look at the rising sun back-lighting the butte and surrounding hills.

To get to Castle Butte, head south of Bengough on Highway 34, and follow the signs into the valley.

Great Sand Hills These are Canada’s second largest sand dunes; only the Athabasca Sand Dunes of Saskatchewan’s far north are bigger.

But unlike remote northern dunes, these are easy to visit; simply drive right up to them.

Sand can be a non-descript neutral colour during the day, but

springs to life around sunrise and sunset. Pick one of many viewpoints that emphasize the sand’s golden glow. To photograph the dunes, side-lighting with a low sun accentuates the ripples and textures.

To reach the sand hills, head to the village of Sceptre on Highway 32 (be sure to stop at the Great Sand Hills Museum), then follow the signs south.

70-Mile Butte Located straight south of Val

Marie, the name dates to the days of early mounted police patrols, since it was 70 miles both east and west to neighbouring posts.

The highest point of land in the region, it also marks the western edge of Grassland National Park.

Any time we spend the night in or near Val Marie, this is our go-to sunset spot. The butte faces west, and often takes on warm shades as the sun goes down.

A road leads to the butte, but a better viewpoint for sunset is along the high road to the Two Trees hik-

ing trail. Take Highway 4 south of Val Marie. Where it curves west, continue south on the grid road and then follow the signs. The best view is just past the trailhead.

Killdeer Badlands The valley rim viewpoint over the badlands of Grasslands National Park is undoubtedly among the prairie’s most magnificent sights, and one of our favourite places in the south.

We face north over the valley, plus

have uninterrupted views east and west, making sunrise and sunset equally rewarding.

In each case, strong side-lighting emphasizes the contours of buttes and wildly eroded hillside formations. Located in the East Block of the park, the viewpoint is a only a short drive from Rock Creek Campground, making it convenient to visit as well.

SPICING THINGS UP

Condiments add extra touch to everyday meals TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

A

condiment is a substance, like salt or ketchup used to add flavour to food. It could be a dip, a sauce or a dressing.

In 2016, condiments were a $3.3 billion business in Canada, according to Euromonitor International and showed a modest growth over the previous year.

Ketchup and mayonnaise are leaders, but ethnic and spicy flavours are the fastest growing trend in condiments.

The latest figures from Statistics Canada show that the average family spends more money on condiments than on coffee and tea or oils.

Another trend is toward healthier products, those lower in salt and fat.

Consumers are willing to pay for convenience but what about making some signature condiments for your meals at home?

The obvious benefit is a new flavour, but there may also be less sugar, salt and fats in home-crafted condiments and no other additives.

Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to a simmer.

Stirring regularly, simmer the jam until it reduces and becomes sticky and jammy. This will take one to 1 1/2 hours.

When the jam has cooked down sufficiently, remove from heat and fill jars, leaving 1/4 inch of head space. Wipe rims, apply lids and twist on rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 20 minutes.

When time is up, remove jars from water bath and allow them to cool. When jars are cool enough to handle, test seals. Store jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

CARVING

Artist has a head for creativity Manitoba horse trainer puts skills to work on horns and buffalo skulls

BY JOAN AIREY FREELANCE WRITER

BRAND ON, Man. — Buffalo skulls long saved from her father’s herd became a unique canvas for Kathleen Jenson of Churchbridge, Sask.

The artist and single mother of two could immediately imagine what she’d do with them.

She recently showcased her skull designs at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair in Brandon.

She carves an assortment of designs into the buffalo skulls while also carving unique one-ofa-kind pendants from the outer horn cap. The pendants are natural in colour and texture with no added polish.

“When I saw car ved elk and moose antlers, it inspired me to try carving the bison skulls and horns to create a piece of artwork. I had not seen a carved bison skull previously and love to create things that are different,” said Jensen.

Most skulls are cleaned naturally through weathering, but a few have to be scraped or soaked in peroxide.

“When I go to carve a skull, I visualize the image I will carve on it and where it should be placed.

Then I draw the image on the skull before I start to work, carving with a small bit in my dremel, carving a light outline as the pencil will smudge.”

From there, she picks the appropriate bit and starts working on the depth and shapes she wants.

“Once the carving is complete, I start colouring by stain and then sand it off as then all the high parts

pop and depth is visible. If the skull has horn caps, I will sand them down and paint them or oil them for a natural shine.”

Besides carving, Jenson likes to do pointillism, which involves making an image only using dots.

She loves to do pencil images and portraits.

Jensen works with her father at Yellowhead Traders, which trades in used heavy truck parts and does repairs.

She also raises and trains horses, keeps eight Gypsies, three crosses and a Quarter on Sunset Ridge Gypsy Horse Ranch.

She was drawn to the Gypsy breed because of its rareness and uniqueness.

“The temperament of the Gypsy horse is the number one thing about them. They are called the Golden Retriever of the horse world or a people-sized draft,” said Jenson, who lives on the Sunset Ridge Gypsy Horse Ranch.

Her horses are carefully selected to breed to retain the traditional Gypsy horse traits and create a more docile work/pleasure horse.

She took her stallion, Firecracker, to the fair in Brandon, where she showed how he smiles, lays down, sits, steps up, salutes, shakes his head and rears.

“We told visitors to the fair how amazingly docile these horses are, where they came from and that they had only been in Canada 20 years,” she said.

“I rode him bareback with just a halter to show how even a stallion of that breed is well mannered and well behaved,” said Jenson.

Kathleen Jenson of Churchbridge, Sask., displays a bison skull she is in the process of carving. She started out using the horns to create carved jewelry, but advanced to using buffalo skulls for her detailed carvings. | JOAN AIREY PHOTOS

ON THE FARM

Diverse Alberta farm focuses on consumer ON THE FARM

CORNEL & CREMONA PRIMROSE Big Valley, Alta.

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BIG VALLEY, Alta. — When Cremona Primrose fills egg cartons for her city customers, she always adds a blue-green egg for a little variety.

Those added touches are part of the direct marketing plan Cornel and Cremona Primrose have created for their farm near Big Valley in central Alberta.

A commercial dairy is the mainstay of Primrose Farms but they have expanded into selling eggs, whole milk processed on farm, as well as home-raised veal, beef and pork.

While Cornel runs the farm and is a licensed milk processor, Cremona tends the animals and does the marketing using Facebook contacts.

Both grew up in the area and attended Olds College where Cornel studied farm and ranch management while Cremona took animal science. They bought the farm in 2000 and have changed the business from a commercial dairy to a targeted direct marketing plan.

“Part of the drive in going with direct marketing was to keep the small farm. The reality is if you are just a commodity farmer on a small scale it is extremely tough, but if you get into value-added and direct marketing, it is a whole other line of work, but you can get more profit,” Cornel said.

“Our focus is to grow a brand name of Primrose Farms,” he said.

Their first foray was selling eggs to urbanites, which Cremona hauls to Calgary and Edmonton every week.

Using Facebook, customers are notified of the next pop-up market where she distributes orders from their refrigerated trailer.

“You start a relationship with customers who want to know where their food source is coming from. You build a trusting relationship with them,” she said.

She considered hiring help to do the deliveries but has learned that customers want to meet the farmer.

Soon, her egg customers started to ask what else she had for sale so the Primroses added beef, pork and whole milk.

The milk is available direct from the truck, at the Calgary Farmers’ Market and Italian Centre Shops located in Calgary and Edmonton.

The Primroses also secured a deal with the Italian Centre to sell veal for the last two years.

Bulls from the dairy herd not used for breeding go to the beef market and veal calves are processed at Messenger Meats in Mirror, Alta.

The veal is sold under the Messenger Meats label but if consumers are interested, they can trace the veal back to their farm.

Becoming a milk processor took

considerable planning and training.

“It took us two and a half years of planning the milk processing plant and getting it going while you are trying to farm at the same time. We are running a business within a business,” Cremona said.

When they built a new dairy barn, the processing facility was included.

Cornel devotes a day or two a week to bottle pasteurized milk into two and four litre jugs with their own labels printed at the farm.

He just started making yogurt.

The plan is to travel to the Okanagan this summer to find a partner to supply fruit to mix with the yogurt.

He took courses through the Alberta Food Research Centre at Leduc where he obtained a pasteurization licence, bulk graders licence and a variance from regulatory services so he could move milk from the barn to his provincially inspected plant.

About five percent of the milk from about 100 cows goes through their own facility.

“The long-term goal is to process what we produce on the farm.

When we get to that point, we will decide whether to grow the farm in size,” he said.

The farm maintains a website and relies on Facebook where there were

about 2,500 followers in one month.

Besides the sales side, Cremona posts information about the farm and tells anecdotes about their life.

Their products are slightly more expensive than what people usually pay in stores and the Primroses have seen first-hand the ups and downs in the economy.

Cremona said direct marketing was more difficult this winter than it had been the previous two winters. Some of their customers were laid off or had family members laid off and they had to cut back on their spending.

“It was humbling to know they were still spending money on us,” she said.

The business model is structured for expansion and if either of their two young daughters, Careese, nine and Ceaxna, six, want to join the farm, there is an opportunity.

The original farm was a Holsteinbased dairy but over time the Primroses switched the herd to Fleckvieh. Semen and embryos were bought from Europe to build a crossbred and purebred herd.

Their purebred herd is closed but they are still importing Fleckvieh semen.

Cows are kept for four to five lactations and are replaced with new

heifers to upgrade the herd. They may have a second career as a nurse cow for cow-calf operators.

“A lot of cows have earned their keep here and you know there is a lot more potential for years to come,” Cremona said.

They also supply purebred bull stock that is exported to the U.S. dairy studs.

“Our bull calves are one of our biggest money makers. The purebred stock we can sell some locally for clean–up bulls for local dairies but the bulk of them go stateside for breeding bulls,” Cornel said.

In 2011, they installed a robot milker to save on labour and have since hired a local couple, Dean and Danelle Jones, who believe in what the Primroses are doing.

The laying hen side of the business has grown but the Primroses keep the flock at 300 birds so they do not have to buy a production quota.

The birds are free to roam a large area and live in a specially designed coop with nesting boxes. Cremona wants specific breeds of chickens that are hardy enough to go outside, perch and scratch, as well as produce eggs. The flock includes Americana for blue-green eggs and some Rhode Island Reds and she is adding Black Stars, Red Stars and

Australorps.

The farm maintains an open door policy and is open to tours. The Primroses joined the Alberta Agriculture Open Farm Days program where the public can visit during a weekend in August.

Cremona said a side benefit of direct marketing is getting to hear what consumers think. “ You get just such feedback from the consumer knowing how much they enjoy things.”

As well, she said, the information flows both ways.

“A lot of farmers have become disconnected from the consumer and sometimes you have to go back and ask what would you like me to produce,” Cornel said.

“There is a growing consumer base that wants to know where their food comes from and it is not about the science and the production of food, it is more about the relationship,” said Cornel.

“It is what gives you the energy to keep going.

“We chose a career of farming and we are here to grow food for people and the more contact you have with the customer the more rewarding it gets,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

TRADE

American farm groups support NAFTA Groups defend trade deal, but National Milk Producers Association is an exception

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

U.S. far m and commodity groups are avid supporters of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Now that renegotiations of the deal could begin this summer, the groups are loudly voicing that opinion.

On May 18, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer notified Congress of plans by President Donald Trump’s administration to revamp NAFTA. The notification initiated a 90-day period in which Trump officials must consult with Congress about the trade talks with Canada and Mexico.

The notification isn’t surprising because Trump has threatened many times to pull America out of the 23-year-old trade deal unless better terms could be negotiated for U.S. companies and workers.

Millions of Americans agree with Trump, particularly in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Indiana. However, farm and commodity groups say the trade deal is critical for U.S. producers.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), the National Pork Producers Association and the National Corn Growers Association issued statements supporting NAFTA immediately

following the notification.

The releases featured data on the economic benefits of the trade agreement, such as: • For U.S. pork, Canada is the number four export market and Mexico is number two. In 2016, the U.S. exported almost $800 million in pork to Canada and $1.4 billion to Mexico, the pork producers association said.

• Since NAFTA was implemented, U.S. agric-food exports to Canada and Mexico have tripled and quintupled, respectively, the corn growers association said.

“Exports are one pillar of a strong farm economy, accounting for 31 percent of farmer income,” said corn growers president Wesley Spurlock in a May 18 statement.

“Nowhere is the importance of trade stronger than right here in North America.”

The NCBA went even further to declare its support. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, the Confederación Nacional de Organizaciones in Mexico and the NCBA sent a joint letter to Trump, Prime Minister Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena.

The letter encouraged the leaders to preserve unlimited and

duty-free trade of beef between the three countries.

“We believe that our economies will be stronger under NAFTA than without NAFTA. We urge you not to jeopardize the success of the men, women and families engaged in the cattle and beef industries of each of our countries, who depend on the success that market access provides under NAFTA.” It also warned U.S. trade negotiators to learn from “mistakes of the past” and not use the process to restore mandatory country-oforigin labelling.

“M-COOL failed to deliver its proponents’ promise to increase consumer demand or consumer confidence. Instead, it created massive disruptions in live cattle trade that hurt beef producers across North America and jeopardized the jobs of American workers that depend on processing those cattle.”

COOL was law in the U.S. for about seven years, requiring labels saying meat was a “product of the USA,” “product of Mexico” or “product of Brazil.” Canadian pork and beef producers complained that the regulation unfairly discriminated against Canadian products and violated international trade rules.

Canada and Mexico took their

complaints to the World Trade Organization. The WTO ruled for Canada and Mexico several times and the U.S. Congress finally repealed COOL in December 2015.

Beef, corn and other commodity groups in the U.S. may support the existing NAFTA deal, but the National Milk Producers Association does not.

In a May 18 statement, it commended the Trump administration and asked the U.S. Trade Representative to challenge Canada’s “protectionist policies” around dairy products.

“Obviously, dairy trade with Canada — where we continue to face 200 percent to 300 percent tariffs and a slew of non-tariff policies that distort dairy trade — is an entirely different story,” said association president Jim Mulhern.

“We need to address it as part of these talks. Central to any successful NAFTA negotiations will be changes to Canada’s new policies designed to harm bilateral trade and dump their structural dairy surplus on the world market.”

Now that Congress has been notified, the re-negotiation of NAFTA can begin Aug. 16, at the earliest. robert.arnason@producer.com

Scientists have developed a new procedure to pasteurize eggs that could reduce illnesses caused by salmonella bacteria.

David Geveke at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Research Service has developed a system that uses radio waves to heat eggs without changing the egg whites.

Geveke said the system works similar to a standard microwave oven, but it uses a longer radio frequency wavelength, enabling it to penetrate deeper into the egg.

“In our method, RF has further advantages over microwaves in that it can be applied directly to part of the egg, thus avoiding overheating the air cell,” he said in an email.

He said the new process also leaves egg whites clear. Conventional pasteurization methods, which involve hot water immersion, can make the whites look slightly cloudy, although it does not affect the nutritional content or taste.

“An egg pasteurized using our process will look exactly like an unpasteurized egg,” he said.

The process developed by Geveke, a chemical engineer at the ARS Food Safety Unit in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, is faster, less expensive to use than existing methods and focuses more heat on the yolks than on white portions.

It is also expected to lower the cost of pasteurization and the price of pasteurized eggs in stores.

The thinking is that if pasteurized eggs are more readily available and less expensive, more consumers will choose them and fewer people will contract salmonella-related illnesses.

Test results published by Geveke’s team showed the radio frequency treatment reduced pathogens by 99.999 percent, which is about the same as the conventional hot water method.

However, it was three times faster than the conventional method, requiring about 20 minutes. It is also expected to reduce the price of pasteurized eggs, which normally cost about $1.50 a dozen more than conventional eggs.

Geveke said he expects to have a commercial prototype ready next year.

The salmonella bacteria can be killed by properly cooking food before eating.

Pasteurized eggs accounted for less than three percent of the 74 billion fresh eggs bought by U.S. consumers last year, but they are recommended for nursing homes and institutional use, such as hospitals, and for use where raw eggs are used, such as traditional caesar salads and hollandaise sauces.

Salmonella infection can cause cramps, diarrhea and fever.

Alberta plans loans to speed well reclamation Legislation designed to speed up the management of orphaned wells and could create up to 1,650 jobs

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A loan to Alberta’s Orphan Well Association is being proposed by the Alberta government to assist in reclaiming about 152,000 abandoned or inactive oil and gas sites.

The government proposes to borrow $235 million for the loan and provide it to the OWA at a more favourable interest rate than it could access on its own.

Alberta Energy Minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd said May 18 that the legislation has been introduced and is designed to speed up the management of Alberta’s many orphaned wells.

The number of abandoned sites was exacerbated by the drastic economic downturn in the oil and gas industry that forced many energy companies out of business or into bankruptcy.

If the legislation passes, the province would finance the loan using $30 million from the federal budget, said a government news release. It would be repaid over 10 years from the orphan fund levy paid by the energy industry.

The plan is also expected to create up to 1,650 jobs in reclamation work over the next three years.

“By enabling this work to happen right away, we’re able to reduce the backlog of orphan wells throughout Alberta while maintaining our polluter-pay principle,” McCuaigBoyd said in the release.

Energy site reclamation work involves removing equipment,

WHAT’S AN ORPHAN WELL? • Orphan: A well or facility confirmed not to have anyone responsible or able to deal with its closure and reclamation.

• Inactive: A well or facility where activities have stopped due to technical or economic reasons.

Some may be reopened and produce again.

• Abandoned: A site permanently dismantled and left in a safe condition.

• Remediation: The process of cleaning up a contaminated well site to meet specific soil and groundwater standards.

• Reclamation: The process of replacing soil and re-establishing vegetation on a well site so it can support activities that it did before it was disturbed.

sealing wells and ensuring safety for the public.

Abandoned sites have become a concern for many farmers, ranchers and other landowners. Many who are concerned about reclamation have deemed funding for the OWA to be inadequate. Its annual budget is $30 million and as of March it had 2,084 orphaned wells slated for closure.

Last year it closed 185 wells.

The government said the OWA budget will increase to $60 million in 2019-20, paid by industry levies.

Daryl Bennett, director of the Alberta Surface Rights Federation,

Orphaned wells pose a significant environmental risk for communities and the landowners who have inherited these impacts. | FILE PHOTO which has many farmer and rancher members, said “polluter-pay” is definitely the way to proceed.

“Speeding up the reclamation process will benefit landowners by preventing contamination, removing obstructions to farming operations and improving the food safety of crops and animals,” said Bennett in the news release.

Nikki Way, analyst with the Pembina Institute, also applauded the move.

“Orphaned wells pose a significant environmental risk for communities and the landowners who have inherited these impacts with no responsible owner.”

Pembina is encouraged by this effort in parallel with the ongoing

efforts to review and reform the existing inadequate rules in place to address root causes of this problem and ensure that liabilities for cleanup are not transferred to Albertans.”

The government said it plans to improve existing policies for managing old oil and gas wells. barb.glen@producer.com

FOOD POLICY

Industry plans talks to develop national food strategy

BY MARY BAXTER FREELANCE WRITER

The federal government isn’t alone as it plans a new national food policy.

On June 5, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture plans to bring about 50 representatives together from the food and public health sector, including academics, government representatives, MPs, Indigenous groups, civil society groups, dietitians, food processors, primary producers, input providers, and possibly retailers.

CFA president Ron Bonnett said the goal is to add detail to food policy goals they hold in common.

Those areas of commonality were identified at a March meeting in Guelph convened by Food Secure Canada, Maple Leaf Foods and the Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph.

The government policy is expected to cover not only agriculture and food production but also foodrelated issues to do with health, nutrition, food security and the environment.

Consultation would involve not only feedback from people involved in those sectors but also the general public and consumers.

At the March meeting, there was discussion about the need to develop a national food strategy, a

process rather than a policy, a document to manage the diverse interests, Bonnett said.

There also seemed to be consensus around the table that someone needs to be in charge.

“If nobody’s in charge, it’s likely not going to go somewhere. So (at the June meeting) we’re taking a look at who is going to try and set the direction and how do we ensure that we get the right mix of individuals around the table to make sure it can move ahead.”

Convincing the government to adopt cross-departmental approaches to dealing with food issues is yet another shared goal.

Right now, lack of connection between government departments c re at e s c ha l l e n g e s f o r ma n y groups. Bonnett used the example of Agriculture Canada wanting to expand agricultural exports but the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the regulatory system creating roadblocks.

“We also have to take a look at how do we engage provincial and municipal governments,” he said.

In recent years, national groups have tried to convince the government to establish a food policy, including the CFA, Food Secure Canada, the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute and the Conference Board of Canada.

Diana Bronson, executive direc-

tor of Food Secure Canada, which represents groups such as the National Farmers Union, the Canada Organic Trade Association, Dietitians of Canada, United Church of Canada and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, said the decision to hold preliminary discussions independent of government consultations came about because the discussion hadn’t been moving fast enough.

“There is a lot of support for a national food policy,” she said.

Like Bonnett, Bronson noted that breaking down barriers between government departments would likely be one of the benefits of the policy, and a top priority.

From the development of Canada’s Food Guide and Nutrition North Canada subsidy program to the finalization of the latest agricultural policy framework, the number of food initiatives underway are many and they’re being led by different departments.

Without an overarching framework in place, no integration takes place and government departments and different levels of government work at cross-purposes, she said.

“Now under Minister (Jane) Philpott there is serious work going on around a healthy eating strategy and reforming Canada’s Food Guide, but if that just goes off in its

own direction and never talks to people who are producing the food, then we’re not getting maximum bang for our buck.”

Areas of consensus, however, appear to be fragile and narrow.

Bonnett expressed concern about policy being influenced too much by social issues that are not necessarily about food production.

Each is a component of the whole discussion, he said.

Bronson noted that recent enthusiasm about agriculture being identified as a potential growth sector for the country’s economy is taking “the wind out of the sails” of other areas of focus for the food policy such as equity, health and environmental concerns.

“It’s really, really important that that not happen.”

Even within groups differences of opinion exist.

Jan Slomp, president of the National Farmers Union, said his organization wants protection of farm income. Slomp said he’s worried that his organization’s priority may fall by the wayside as compromises are made to get the policy through.

Bronson said some form of income guarantee for farmers is important.

She also said to expect compromises and fights along the way.

But much of misunderstanding is lack of communication, she said.

Groups need to sit down face-toface and build relationships.

“Right now I’m still very hopeful.”

Bronson said senior officials from 12 departments including the Prime Minister’s Office have formed a committee chaired by Agriculture Canada. The group has prioritized areas or themes that were presented at a Food Secure Canada meeting in October. These include food security, the environment, sustainable growth of agriculture and food production and health.

She anticipated the government would roll out public consultations soon.

Patrick Girard, a spokesperson with the agriculture department, said by email in mid-May that broad public consultations “to gather input of Canadians and stakeholders in the development of this policy” would be held this year.

Establishing a national food policy was one of the priorities Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined to MacAulay in a 2015 mandate letter.

Bonnett noted that the first policy would be unlikely to affect the new agricultural policy framework that will come into effect next year. It will, however, have an impact on future policy frameworks as well as the way governments deal with issues.

AGRONOMY

Continuous canola not as profitable as farmers might think

Researchers discover a decrease of blackleg incidence with longer rotations between crops

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LACOMBE, Alta. — A new Agriculture Canada study suggests tight canola rotations do not provide better returns than longer and more diverse rotations.

“People say they have to grow continuous canola because they are getting the highest net returns,” Neil Harker, an Agriculture Canada research scientist said during a presentation at Murray Hartman’s ScienceOrama in Lacombe. “We don’t have the evidence for that.”

The study Harker is involved with started in 2008 and has nine years of data. It recently received funding for another three years.

In the study, both Roundup Ready and Liberty Link varieties were grown. Both were grown continuously and compared to a twoyear rotation with wheat-canola (RR and LL) rotation, as well as a three-year pea/barley/canola (RR and LL) rotation.

Harker said researchers found a consistent decrease of blackleg incidence with longer rotations.

“As soon as you start increasing

your years between canola crops, from zero in continuous, to one, to two, it always decreased significantly. A similar pattern happened with root maggots. So the more years between canola the less root maggots,” he said.

There was also a yield increase associated with the longer rotations.

When continuous canola is compared to longer rotations in crop insurance or small plot data, the biggest yield increase occurs when a canola crop is grown after a oneyear interval from the last canola crop. This data shows a smaller

yield increase after a two-year break away from canola, and after a three-year break there is often little or no yield increase.

However, the average canola yield in this study steadily increased five bushels an acre per year once out of canola throughout the first three years, which is somewhat of an unusual finding.

Harker said he was surprised by this relationship because he had expected a significant yield increase that quickly dropped off after the first year out of canola, rather than a linear relationship

between years out of canola and yield increase.

“In Melfort, for every year off canola you got a 13 bu. increase in canola. In 2016, last year, the effect was 17 bu. for every year outside of canola, a 34-bu. difference in yield by going to a pea-barley-canola rotation compared versus a canolacanola-canola rotation,” Harker said.

There were also sites that had little or no yield benefits from longer rotations compared to continuous canola on some years at some sites.

WEED OF THE WEEK: WILD BUCKWHEAT

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wild buckwheat is a yield robber, but it can also cause harvesting headaches. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO

Wild buckwheat remains a pest risk for farmers across the Prairies.

Alberta farmers say it is their least favourite weed.

It can be tough to kill, degrades grain and oilseed samples, messes up harvests and will trip up the odd field scout.

The ropy pest can prompt grain buyers to refuse shipments of canaryseed if its triangular seeds are found in the sample.

Wild buckwheat, formally known as polygonum convolvulus, is an annual that typically produces 1,000 seeds, although mature plants are capable of 10 times that amount if left unchecked.

Producers who have reclaimed sloughs this year are reporting instances of the pest, despite see-

ing few examples in adjacent fields in recent years. Agronomists recommend that producers take steps to target those areas for scouting and control this season to prevent spread.

Most of the plant’s seeds will germinate the year after they are produced, but research has found they can persist for several years. As a result, a single year of effective control might not be enough to manage an infestation.

The seeds persist in farm-saved seed and require thorough grain cleaning to remove. They can be particularly difficult to deal with in flax.

The vine-like weed starts out trailing along the soil’s surface, branching and expanding and creating its own canopy of large, heart shaped leaves until other plants are encountered. The plant will grow up to one

metre tall through the crop.

Light green flowers without petals appear, bearing conspicuous sepals.

Buckwheat has a fibrous root system that can chase water and nutrients 80 centimetres deep, which makes it crop competitive and drought tolerant.

Wild buckwheat can reduce cereal yields by up to 12 percent at a population of five plants per sq. metre, while flax yields can be reduced by 10 to 20 percent at five to 15 plants per sq. metre.

Seeds germinate all season, depending on moisture conditions. Most begin life in the top five cm of soil, but they have been known to successfully germinate as deep as 20 cm in deep tillage.

Apps help identify invasive weeds

BY ROBERT ARNASON

People say they have to grow continuous canola because they are getting the highest net returns. We don’t have the evidence for that.

NEIL HARKER RESEARCH SCIENTIST

» CONTINUOUS CANOLA “The overall trends though are very predictable, but predicting what might happen one year in one location is next to impossible,” he said.

Harker next performed an economic analysis.

“We decided to put some economics on this ... to get some indication, OK we have less yield with continuous canola, but because canola often gives you more, are you going to get any more by staying with it?” Harker said.

Costs were broken down by soil zone and crop prices and inputs were taken off of Saskatchewan Agriculture’s website.

The net returns varied widely depending on site and year combination, but when averaged across all sites and years the net returns were similar for all rotations.

When looking at “all sites all years, 35 site years, nothing was better or worse than continuous canola on average,” Harker said.

“Averaged across years … only one site, Lacombe, had greater net returns in continuous LL canola versus more-diverse rotations.

Averaged across years at two sites, Lethbridge and Swift Current, had greater net returns in diverse rotations compared to continuous canola,” Harker said.

There may be other reasons growers tend toward shorter rotations, for instance it may be easier for them, but the study’s data doesn’t support the idea growers will make more money with short compared to longer canola rotations, Harker said.

BRANDON BUREAU

In March David Andrews, a cattle rancher from Irricana, Alta, took photos of an unusual weed on pastureland near his farm.

Andrews suspected that the two-metre-tall weed was palmer amaranth, a weed found in most American states but not in Western Canada, yet.

Weed experts in Alberta and Arkansas looked at the photos and concluded it was common mullein, which is listed under Alberta’s Weed Control Act as a noxious weed.

Andrews got an answer to his question by consulting with weed scientists. But there is another way to report unusual or invasive weeds in Alberta.

Farmers or any Albertan can download a smart phone app, EDDMapS Alberta, which stands for Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System.

“We are moving to more of a

citizen science-based approach, where (people) are report through an app,” said Nicole Kimmel, Alberta Agriculture weed scientist. “This gives the ability for anyone to go find a plant, compare it with anything we’re looking for (invasive species) in the province.”

The University of G eorgia developed the EDDMapS program and it is widely used in the U.S. An app user takes photos of the weed with a smartphone and the program uploads the photos to EDDMapS. A verifier in Alberta reviews the images to check and confirm the weed species.

“Once it’s verified that it is a correct identification (of an invasive species), then the verifier… notifies the jurisdiction responsible,” Kimmel said.

The app automatically picks up the GPS co-ordinates of where the weed or invasive species was detected, so report locations are

part of the EDDMapS Alberta website.

The website has distribution maps showing where things like leafy spurge and dames rocket have been detected.

Kimmel said EDDMapS is being used, but a limited number of Albertans have downloaded the app.

“We haven’t really had the promotion around it.”

The story is similar in Saskatchewan, where citizen reporting of invasive species with an app is just getting off the ground.

Saskatchewan Conservation is encouraging citizens to use a different program, called iMapInvasives. The app can be found at www.imapinvasives.org/ mobile-tools.

“After signing up for a free account a person can utilize the iMap Invasives mobile applications,” said Beryl Wait, Saskatchewan Conservation Data Center invasive species co-ordinator.

“So far it’s in its early stages of

utilization. However I have been fielding more inquiries regarding it lately.”

Like Alberta, the Invasive Species Council of Manitoba adopted the EDDMapS service. Manitobans are using the program because there are about 16,000 invasive species reports on the website at www.eddmaps.org/ prairieregion/.

The Invasive Species Council of Manitoba doesn’t have a smartphone app for EDDMapS, so reports must be made through the website.

Farmers and people with no interest in apps or using web programs can also report unusual weeds the old-fashioned way by showing a sample to a government representative.

“It normally comes through the ag fieldmen (in Alberta),” Kimmel said. “A lot of producers use them as the first point of contact.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Common mullein is not well known to prairie farmers, but it is a serious pest and part of Alberta’s noxious weed list. |

» WEED OF THE WEEK Saskatchewan found that wild buckwheat seeds planted between April 15 and July 15 took an average of 17 days to emerge, 28 days to reach the first and second true leaf, 31 days to get to third true leaf, 50 days to make its first vine and 61 days to flower.

Buckwheat can be tough to kill, even at spring burnoff, provided it gets a head start.

However, even with effective management ahead of the crop, it can get started later in the season and then fight crop for resources throughout the rest of the year.

In-crop spray sometimes has trou-

ble dealing with the plant, which creates problems at harvest time.

It rises up through the crop in mid-season, seeking sunlight, and the tough, wire-like stems are often still green when the combines are ready to roll. Straight cutting header reels can become choked with the long ropy stems.

Buckwheat is one of several weeds showing resistance to Group 2 chemicals on the Prairies and was identified before 2010 as being resistant in parts of Alberta.

Widespread use of Group 2 chemistries has meant that the pest has had plenty of opportunity to select for resistance.

Most crops have an in-crop regis-

tered herbicide that will kill wild buckwheat early in the season or when it is small, but the weed is tolerant to MCPA and moderately tolerant to 2,4-D. Group 2 resistance in wild buckwheat means multiple modes of action through tank mixes or combination products can be critical.

Controlling buckwheat in broadleaf crops can be challenging.

Chickpea, flax and sunflower growers can use a burn-off mix of glyphosate, carfentrazone and sulfentrazone to provide lasting control.

Buckwheat control in its earliest stages can be done with glyphosate ahead of the crop and in herbicide

tolerant crops. It can also be effectively managed with timely post emergent applications, which will allow crops to develop a canopy and reduce buckwheat growth.

The weed is somewhat tolerant of glyphosate, which means full rate applications are required for anything other than the earliest stages.

Perdue University researchers say bromoxynil, clopyralid, dicamba, glufosinate and sulfonylurea products are the most effective.

Using these herbicides or tank mixes with these ingredients will ensure the most effective wild buckwheat control.

Clopyralid, dicamba and some sulfonylurea herbicides may per-

USDA PHOTO

sist in higher pH soils and provide ongoing control beyond the first half of the growing season.

The weed can also be controlled by discing or cultivating before seeding, which causes germination. That is then followed by harrowing to kill the seedlings.

Rotations that include forage production will also clean up an infestation issue. Grazing or hay removal will prevent the weed from reaching maturity and further seed production.

Wild buckwheat is also known as black bindweed, climbing bindweed and corn bindweed. mike.raine@producer.com

TILLAGE

Oh, ruts: tread carefully over the fields when repairing PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

I

t is no secret that discussions around what to do with ruts dominated many coffee row discussions this winter.

These ruts were produced by combines and grain carts operating in wet fields last October and November. Some of them are more than 60 centimetres deep.

Managing ruts this spring is required but it needs to be delicate management. Ideally, it should take place when the soil is dry or frozen, which eliminates compaction.

However, the likelihood of compaction will be reduced if the subsoil is wet.

There was a short window this spring to get out into fields when they were still frozen, but most of the snow melted earlier, so opportunities were limited.

A tractor with a blade can fill in ruts where soil has been pushed up on both sides of the rut. It may not completely fill in the rut but may allow for seeding to follow.

The goal when dealing with ruts should be to do the minimum to allow a field to be planted. This may result in a field that is somewhat rough to ride across on a sprayer but will allow Mother Nature to heal its wounds most effectively.

Some tillage will likely be required with deep ruts, say deeper than 15 cm.

FILE PHOTO

One strategy is to wait in the spring until you can work the field and then perform light tillage only to the rutted ground, if it’s not field-wide.

Use a light tillage pass, such as with a field cultivator, light disc or harrows, which will fill in some of the ruts.

If only a portion of the field is rutted, consider tilling only that area to avoid re-compacting subsoil in other parts of the field. You only want to till five to eight cm deep, which is enough to move some soil but not

enough to rip up the field. You still have to maintain the seed bed.

In a worst case scenario, ripping up the field with deep tillage 12 to 15 cm may be required. However, a second operation will probably be required to get the field into planting condition. This second operation may be an opportunity to apply anhydrous ammonia or band urea.

The recent advent of vertical tillage equipment offers another option for managing ruts, but I will

make a couple of comments.

My experience tells me that all vertical tillage implements are not created equally. I have seen situations where one machine does a good job at burying ruts and creating a very good seed bed, while in the same year and a couple of kilometres away, I have observed equipment leaving the field in a mess.

I have also seen implements leaving the field looking nice, but when a no-till, independent shank air drill attempted to seed, a mess resulted.

If you have ruts, you are going to have to be patient. This may mean working on some fields and allowing them to sit for a few days while you seed something else.

It won’t be the smooth, efficient spring you may be used to, but it is what it is. Roll with the hand you were dealt with and good luck.

AGRONOMY

Proper rotations require careful crop management ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

A

sound rotation is the single most effective means of providing higher and more stable yields, soil benefits such as fertility and improved weed, pest and disease management.

Planning a rotation means managing a great many factors: It must work agronomically and economically. It must meet soil fertility needs and provide for weed management. It must leave enough time between similar crops so that diseases and insect pests won’t persist from one susceptible crop to another.

In other words, a sound rotation is the key to managing the cropping system.

Fertility For an organic grain producer, a sound rotation usually starts with a legume green manure. Legumes partner with rhizobium bacteria to

supply nitrogen, which would otherwise be the limiting nutrient.

On average, legumes supply nitrogen at about 2.5 percent of the above ground biomass. For example, an alfalfa field yielding 1.5 round bales per acre at approximately one tonne per bale would produce 3,306 pounds per acre, or 83 lb. per acre of nitrogen.

Only about 60 percent of the nitrogen is available in the first year. An additional 20 percent becomes available in the second year. These amounts can be balanced against subsequent crop needs. Cover crops can be used to prevent the loss of nitrogen in areas where leaching can be a problem.

A pulse crop can be ideal when the nitrogen level is nearly depleted. Pulses grown with rhizobium can access their own nitrogen supply, giving them a distinct advantage over weeds that cannot.

Nitrogen is not the only nutrient that can be limiting, but it is the only one that can be added naturally so easily.

It may be necessary to import the nutrients if other nutrients are limiting, especially phosphorus or sulfur. Mineral supplements are available, but they can be challenging to source and costly to transport. A more local solution might

be to bring in alfalfa hay bales.

These can be relatively rich sources of phosphorus and sulphur.

Bale grazing can add cash value to the bales to offset the cost. If there are no cattle on the grain farm, perhaps a neighbour’s cattle can bale graze in the field. Few nutrients are lost to the cattle, and they leave the resource in a very plant available form. Of course, an alternative would be to simply import manure.

Weed management A variable rotation can be the key to successful weed management.

When the same crop management is applied year after year, those weeds that do well with this management increase, perhaps to overwhelming numbers. When the crop management is varied, it is hard for the weeds to adjust, and none receives a significant advantage or an opportunity to expand out of control.

Changing crop timing can reduce weed populations. Ideally, a rotation will alternate annual crops with winter crops with perennials. Perennial rotations can be especially useful in reducing annuals and eliminating specific perennial weeds.

For example, alfalfa greatly

reduces Canada thistle in a rotation. Winter crops can be useful in reducing quackgrass, which often has uncontested reign over all in annual cropping systems.

Alternative management of crops c a n a l s o r e d u c e w e e d s . Fo r instance, using a pea-oat intercrop as green feed or green manure can prevent annual weeds from going to seed.

Even with annual weeds, alternating between early seeding and late seeding can suppress outbreaks. With plant competition, it is often first come, first served.

Early seeding establishes the crop before late emerging weeds can stake a claim. Late seeding gives the operator a chance to eliminate any early emerging weeds before the crop is seeding. Alternating the methods prevents either type from getting a consistent advantage.

Diseases and insects Prevention can be the best form of disease control.

When susceptible crops are grown back-to-back, the disease inoculum can build up with devastating results. Tillage can reduce disease spread by incorporating residues in the soil, which helps them to decompose more rapidly.

Cereals share a number of diseases. Sclerotinia can be shared by legumes and oilseeds. Alternating cereals with broadleaf crops can disrupt disease cycles.

Rotations can also be used to reduce the insect pests that are crop specific, such as flax bollworm and wheat midge.

Making it work The ideal rotation is site specific and may change over time, but the basic principle is diversity.

Many sequences are possible within that theme, and producers are in the best position to determine what works for their farm.

There are a number of markers of success, such as healthy crops, healthy economics and good whole farm functionality.

A rotation doesn’t need to be written in stone. It needs to be revised when it doesn’t work and be flexible to changes in weather and markets.

However, for best results, it needs to hold to the core principle of diversity for functionality.

Stay safe on the farm

Are security systems worth the investment?

New tech makes protecting your farm easier than ever

STOP, THIEF! Crime is up in municipalities across the Prairies. In central Saskatchewan, property crime rates have jumped 18 percent over the past six years, according to the RCMP. Meanwhile, the population in many rural areas is declining, meaning there are fewer eyes around to keep thieves in check.

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers no longer have any reason to leave themselves unprotected without at least a rudimentary security system on their farm.

A quick search on Amazon.ca provides hundreds of camera options, video recorders, wi-fi boosters and alerts that producers can set up and monitor from a station inside the home or on a smartphone when they are out of the yard.

It is impossible to completely stop determined thieves, but for the price of one lost slip tank of fuel or a couple of batteries, a security system can be installed that will help deter and identify thieves.

RCMP Corporal Mel Zurevinski said footage from home security cameras has been used many times in Saskatchewan to help prosecute thieves.

“There is a group coming out of Saskatoon doing break and enters in rural areas and there were convictions through sightings, through camera footage, and documentation of where they were sighted,” Zurevinski said.

When asked if farmers should invest in a security system, he said it’s a no-brainer.

“Farming is big business and just like businesses do in Saskatoon or Regina, they should have security systems,” he said.

Many farmers will have no problem setting up their own robust security systems with components sourced online.

It can be as simple as mounting a $200 game camera in a good location to be able to identify someone walking off with your gear.

There are also motion-activated spy cameras disguised as objects, such as USB chargers or smoke detectors that can be operated without connecting to a network, but will keep track of activity in your shop or home when you’re away.

Some of these cameras can be accessed through wi-fi to view the recordings. Even if the wi-fi network is dow n, they w ill keep recording.

If someone wants to put together their own networked security system, they need to learn how to manage wi-fi routers.

Saskatchewan RCMP has “redeployed” to address the increase of rural crime, but it has also admitted that it lacks the resources to stem the rising crime trend.

Under the provincial police service agreement, the budget translates into about 920 policing positions for all of rural Saskatchewan.

During the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities convention this spring a resolution was passed that called on the association to lobby the federal government to expand the rights and justification for people to defend themselves and persons under their care, as well as their property.

The resolution gathered a lot of attention, but the federal government is unlikely to take action.

There’s also been a movement toward increased community-led programs including rural crime watch, agro-watch and citizens on patrol, which have proven useful in many cases.

Rural folks have always looked out for one another on the Prairies, but many farmers are too busy now to properly monitor their own assets, never mind their neighbours’ assets also.

Many producers would like to stick to farming, pay their taxes and let police handle the policing.

But in their own yard, fuel continues to disappear — stolen as it’s pumped out of their machines and tanks. Farmers can’t leave keys in their equipment anymore, and yes, they may feel more comfortable when the gun is near.

Luckily for producers, there have been major technological advancements in home security systems that can help identify the sticky fingered thieves.

As well, there are low-tech strategies farmers can use to help keep their properties safe.

In this section, we cover the basics of what farmers need to know when it comes to farm security.

Check with a broker before buying one

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Another year of rising rural thefts has left many farmers up in arms about what to do and where to turn, said an insurance broker.

“I understand how frustrated the farmers are because this is probably the worst year that we’ve ever seen, quite literally, in terms of farm theft,” said Barry Andrew of Kindersley Insurance in Kindersley, Sask.

“I understand what they’re going through because we deal with it on an insurance side — a P and C side (property and casualty).”

He said rural homeowners need to educate themselves about the different security systems that are available on the market, how they function and their effectiveness at deterring theft.

Many solutions are on the market, but all are not equal and money doesn’t necessarily buy peace of mind.

Number one on the list before buying a home security system is to call an insurance broker, advises Saskatchewan Government Insurance.

“That’s where we’d really recommend for farmers or homeowners who are contemplating installing some sort of lost mitigation device like this to contact their broker,” said Kurtis Reeder, senior director of the personal lines segment with SGI Canada.

“The broker can quote it with the device and without the device and they can see the premium savings if they do install it.… Have them play out a few different options for you is the best strategy on that one.”

Always consider the source, said Andrew, who has seen many people sign on the dotted line with inaccurate and incomplete information from companies selling 24/7 home monitoring systems.

“What we find a lot is the people that are selling these security systems, I don’t want to say they’re misleading, but they don’t disclose all the information,” he said.

“They’ll say, ‘well your insurance policy pretty much pays for the security system,’ which is a long way from the truth.”

Andrew said insurance companies base their discounts on a percentage. Every policy is now individually rated and each situation is different, but the discounts remain standard.

Property crimes common in Western Canada

RIM C Y ERT R 100 P O L PR ONS PE : A R RU VICTI (2013) CON IDENTS RES

Rural crime is highest in the West, but rates aren’t increasing significantly

BY BRIAN CROSS & ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia had higher rural crime rates than any other province in 2013, according to data from Statistics Canada.

Based on the number of violent and non-violent criminal code convictions recorded in 2013, Saskatchewan led all provinces in rural crimes with 13,080 criminal convictions for every 100,000 rural residents.

Manitoba was next with 12,185 offences per 100,000 residents, followed Alberta at 9,895 and British Columbia at 7,728. The national average, across all provinces and territories, was 6,540.

Rural property crimes — including thefts of property and motor vehicles, mischief, break and enter and arson — were also highest in the western provinces.

According to Statistics Canada, Saskatchewan also led that category with 6,609 property crime convictions per 100,000 rural residents, followed by Alberta at 5,450, Manitoba at 5,333 and British Columbia at 3,908.

In all four western provinces, rural crime rates were higher in northern areas.

However, even in southern regions where rural populations are higher and where the vast majority of agricultural activity takes place, rural crime rates in the western provinces were consistently higher than those in other provinces.

RCMP spokesperson Paul Dederich said property crimes are increasing in Saskatchewan but only marginally.

“In 2016, property crime rates did increase incrementally, year over year,” Dederich said.

“Our overall provincial rates (rural and urban) went up by one

an w e h c at Sask rta Albe itoba bia m n u a l M sh Co Briti MICHELLE HOULDEN / GETTY ILLUSTRATION

percent from 2015 to 2016 when it comes to property crime…. (However), from 2011 to 2016 … it was actually a zero percent change, so 2016 had the same property crime rates as 2011.”

Property crime rates decreased between 2012 and 2014 but rebounded in 2015 and again in 2016.

Dederich said the factors that influence rural property crimes are

not much different than those that influence urban property crimes, primarily low incomes, economic hardship, lack of employment and drug addictions.

Regardless of how rural crime rates change from year to year, concerns over rural security in Saskatchewan seem to be increasing.

During its recent 2017 annual convention in Saskatoon, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural

Municipalities dealt with several resolutions aimed at addressing rural crime.

They called for measures that included stiffer penalties for those convicted of rural crimes, restrictions on access to rural properties, increased RCMP resources to deal with agriculture-related thefts in rural areas and expanded “rights and justification for an individual to defend or protect” himself, his family

not feasible for some farms.

Systems that record off-site require the internet operational to store the video feeds, and that can be a vulnerability.

“If the guy (thief ) is smart, they would just defeat the power to your yard and take out the internet,” Sobchuk said.

Back-up UPS battery supply can be installed to keep surveillance equipment recording for a short time if power is lost.

There is also the possibility that thieves could take your local DVR recording device if you are away, which is why users get creative on where they install them.

“We also have customers that will put sirens on their systems. So when they are home or away they can flick a switch when someone comes onto their property, or if they set off one of the sensors it will blow a siren,” Sobchuk said.

Once thieves know they are detected, they will usually leave quickly.

When people want to extend their security system beyond their house to their yard, consumer wi-fi boosters may be adequate.

But once distances increase to cover a large yard or sites kilometres away from the farm, industrial-level wi-fi bridges and boosters are required.

Sensors that detect material being moved out of liquid storage tanks or grain bins can be connected to the security system, even if they are many kilometres from the farm with the use of such wi-fi boosters.

When vehicles are left out in the field, a simple GPS tracker can be installed under its dashboard,

which will lead you to your vehicle if it disappears.

Drive-by alerts can be bought that are connected via wi-fi, or non-networked products are available that chime when someone drives down your lane. They are activated by motion, metal detectors or infrared sensors.

The benefits for security devices that connect through wi-fi is that some can be configured to send notifications to your phone when you’re away from the yard.

For instance, you can get a text when motion is detected on your yard or in your buildings or if a door is opened that is equipped with a sensor.

Security systems can be as simple or as complicated as you want. For those who want an integrated system that provides real time notifications to a smartphone from all of the components in the system, there is a steep learning curve to get the system up and running.

Some farmers will come to the conclusion investing a few thousand dollars in a security system installed and maintained by professionals is small potatoes when it comes to protecting their farm assets. Many security companies offer this service.

Sobchuk compiles and pre-configures security components and then has farmers install their own systems.

“It’s really a plug and play system where guys mount the camera, mount the wi-fi bridges and power everything up. Once everything is up and running, if we need to do any remote access, we can actually log into the computer and make any sort of changes to the routers or

to the NVR to get everything up and running,” Sobchuk said.

He said the most common system he sells to farmers includes cameras protecting the entrance way of commonly hit areas like the shop and fuel tanks, perimeter protection with driveway probes, metal detectors or motion sensors, and sensors for shops, fuel tanks and bins.

“We also have a shop door sensor, so if someone opens up the shop door it will basically send a message back to the house and play over a receiver, you know a ding dong or an announcement of some sort,” Sobchuk said.

Most of the security systems he designs are for people who are home but are still getting hit by thieves, and who also want to monitor the system when they are away.

“If they have a pan tilt zoom camera, they can go ahead and control that camera (with their phone) when they are away and take a closer look at what’s happening within their farm yard,” Sobchuk said.

New infrared light cameras make visible objects and people that are 300 to 500 feet away in total darkness, he said.

New for the 2018 season, Sobchuk said they are hoping to have an in-cab recording system that takes a video if someone rifles through your truck, tractor or combine cab, LED farmyard lights with a camera built in, and driveway alerting system that will text the homeowner when someone drives into the yard.

STAY SAFE ON THE FARM » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 45 It is important for all routers to be secured with a unique password to prevent hackers from compromising your security system and monitoring you through your own security cameras.

Once a router is installed, security components with good online user reviews can be sourced to match the job you need.

For a camera for the front door, the wi-fi router installed in most homes will likely be sufficient. If its signal isn’t strong enough, affordable consumer wi-fi boosters can be installed or a cable can be run from the camera directly to the router.

There are also available foyer lights for a house or shop that come with hidden cameras, so prowlers will not know they are being filmed.

When installing your security cameras, make sure they are doing the job you need, said Chris Sobchuk, a division manager for Allen Leigh Security and Communications out of Brandon.

“It all depends on where the camera is pointing, what lenses you have on, what the megapixels are.

Will the infrared reach that far? So you have to do some investigation on it, making sure the motion sensor is going to trip off because if they don’t trip off, it’s not going to help you out any,” Sobchuk said.

There are plenty of options for monitoring and recording video feeds. Farmers can purchase a digital video recorder set to constantly record the video camera feeds or record only when there is motion.

A do-it-yourselfer may use an old computer to record video instead of buying new.

Security companies also offer network digital video recorders where providers store the data on their servers off-site.

In addition, cloud-based storage is available, but storing video from multiple cameras requires significant storage space, which can be costly.

and his property.

During an address to SARM delegates, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall made a commitment to expand police resources in rural Saskatchewan.

Wall has also voiced concerns in the past over reports of RCMP staff shortages in some rural Saskatchewan communities.

In Saskatchewan, the RCMP has approximately 925 members

working out of 87 rural detachments under community policing agreements.

Another 250 officers are based a t l a r g e r m u n i c i p a l RC M P detachments and 33 are involved in community tripartite policing arrangements with Saskatchewan First Nations.

Dederich said there is nothing to suggest that criminals are more likely to target rural property owners.

A 2007 report by Statistics Canada suggested that property crimes are far more likely to occur in cities and towns than they are in rural communities.

However, farms can be easy targets, especially when the owners are not present.

RCMP Corporal Mel Zurevinski said rural property owners must take steps to secure their belongings and deter people who are looking for an opportunity to commit a crime.

Simple steps such as locking buildings and vehicles, removing keys, installing gates, lights and motion sensors and keeping tools, all-terrain vehicles and other valuables out of sight can go a long way toward deterring would-be thieves.

The use of private security is also becoming more common.

“That’s the type of thing farmers have to resort to so that they can keep on track,” Zurevinski said.

One farmer east of Saskatoon was repeatedly losing fuel, batteries and tools until he hired Flaman Security to watch his equipment.

“So he could get a good night sleep, he has Flaman sitting in a field, watching his equipment,” Zurevinski said. “(During seeding), there were three or four times people came into the field and just by him turning on his headlights of his truck, they fled.”

Property crimes, including theft over and under $5,000, were the most common type of Criminal Code offence recorded in Canada.

Thefts of property and motor vehicles accounted for more than 10 percent of all cases heard in adult criminal courts in 2014-15, according to Statistics Canada.

Approximately 328,000 cases dealing with all types of criminal code offences were heard in Canada’s adult court system in 2014-15.

Of those, roughly 206,000 cases resulted in convictions.

Of those convicted, nearly 86,000 criminals were placed on probation, 64,000 were fined, 8,000 received conditional sentences and 147,000 received absolute or conditional discharges, suspended sentences, community service orders or prohibition orders.

About 37 percent of those convicted of a Criminal Code offence — about 76,000 individuals — served time.

That was the lowest number of custodial sentences imposed in any year over the previous 10 years.

“So it’s not very significant.”

In spite of the fear of theft, Deb Smith said she has learned to be patient and exercise due diligence before getting another home monitoring system.

“What I’m finding is 90 percent of people that put the system in hardly use any of the features. When it comes down to the nitty-gritty, a lot of people don’t use them,” said the Kindersley area resident.

“My advice is to keep it simple.

Keep it specifically for your needs and have insurance before you sign the contract that it is going to do what they say it is going to do.”

In order to qualify for a discount, Andrew and Reeder said it must be a professionally installed monitoring system from a licensed company that’s providing home security.

“It has to be tied into a call centre that would be triggered if there’s a detection and be able to contact the police to respond,” said Reeder.

Added Andrew: “If you go buy a home security system that you’re monitoring yourself, that doesn’t qualify.”

Reeder said discount ratings are based on the location of the dwelling or the farm property in relation to the fire protection rating, which is a commonly used rating system

in the insurance industry.

“The analyses that we’ve done is the distance to a fire hall also corresponds to the response time for a police detachment,” he said.

“So for homeowners or farm owners who are in a fire protection rating of what we call protected or semi-protected, meaning they’re within 13 kilometres of a responding fire hall, will typically receive a greater discount than someone who is beyond the 13 km threshold.

He said insurance companies have taken that classification system and done their own analyses for theft, whose variables can be used to predict the severity and frequency of theft.

“More rural locations that are in that unprotected location will see greater frequency and severity of theft losses due to the response time of the police detachment,” he said.

“There’s a correlation between the two.”

Reeder said installation of 24/7 home monitoring systems are not keeping pace with rural crime statistics.

“I haven’t seen the needle move on that over the last little while. It’s typically around 10 percent of our book has a monitored security system,” he said. “We really haven’t seen an influx of monitored security systems being added on insurance policies.” william.dekay@producer.com SEE NEXT WEEK’S PRODUCTION SECTION FOR MORE FARM SECURITY COVERAGE

POLICE

Safety officers, police work together to combat rural crime

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

In an attempt to reduce rural crime, the Rural Municipality of Edenwold hired Community Safety Officers and wrangled increased participation in the local rural crime watch program.

The RM of Edenwold is located on the eastern boundary of Regina.

One of its councillors, Tim Brodt, said the CSOs deter theft, but also help prevent road damage from overweight vehicles.

“Our guys have jurisdiction that is 80 kilometres or under.”

He said the CSOs have radar and can issue speeding tickets or other traffic infractions, and have scales to test for overweight vehicles.

“It’s nice because those are the guys that are hurting our roads and they are the guys we are trying to stop from doing that.”

Ron Roteliuk, a retired police officer with 33 years on the job for the Regina police force, is one of three CSOs employed by the RM. He has ticketed farmers and others with overweight loads and said it is important because overweight loads cause costly damage to roads.

He also gives warnings and tickets to people operating ATVs on RM roads.

“We have lots of problems with ATVs…. They are not supposed to be on the RM roads because they are unregistered motor vehicles and under the ATV act, it’s against the law to be travelling on the RM roads,” he said.

When a ticket is written by a CSO, 75 percent of the revenue goes to the RM. The province retains the other 25 percent.

In terms of stopping rural theft, Roteliuk said he has helped with getting charges filed against alleged thieves.

“We knew there were some thefts of big batteries and some damage to equipment in some of the pits in the RM. So we got word to keep on lookout for strange behaviour that could be some of the suspects. It just so happened that one of the victims followed some tracks that led to an address. We called the RCMP and we worked together and there was an arrest made,” Roteliuk said.

Brodt is also president of rural crime watch in the area, which has increased its membership to about 90.

He is promoting the use of Whats App as a notification system for members of the rural crime watch group.

WhatsApp is a smartphone app that people use to talk, text or send photos to each other within specific groups.

“We’ve had it going for close to two years because just about everybody has a cellphone with them. It’s kind of nice that it’s instant, that you can alert people when there is crime in the area,” Brodt said.

The RM’s CSOs are also part of the WhatsApp group, which keeps them informed with what the crime watch group is seeing, and a few of the area’s RCMP also use the app. robin.booker@producer.com

STEWARDSHIP

Ranch wins sustainability award British Columbia couple recognized for environmental stewardship, animal welfare efforts and community involvement

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Environmental and social sustainability were natural choices for Trevor and Janice Tapp when they started their ranch at Fraser Lake in northern British Columbia.

Named the winners of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association ranch sustainability award, the couple was recognized for their attention to land care, environmental stewardship, animal welfare, community involvement and succession planning.

Caring for the land and water seemed an obvious thing to do for the first generation ranchers, who chose the farming life after Trevor retired from the RCMP in 1999 and Janice stopped teaching school after 37 years.

“There was something about the value of the land and that never leaves you,” said Janice after receiving the award at the cattlemen’s annual meeting in Kamloops May 25-27.

Trevor was a Manitoba farm boy who joined the RCMP when he was 20. He was eventually transferred to Fraser Lake, about 160 kilometres west of Prince George.

They already owned some cattle because one Christmas Janice gave Trevor two heifers they boarded in Alberta until they could find a ranch of their own.

They both came from farming backgrounds but having their own ranch offered them an opportunity to start from scratch. Their first piece of land was a bare 240 acre hayfield where they developed buildings, fences, grazing plans and water facilities over time.

They were eager to learn and try new ideas.

“Janice is an educator, a reader and a learner. We have gone to every training session that came available,” Trevor said.

The intention was to raise good

Using electric fences and a specially designed alleyway system, the Tapps use a rest-rotation grazing program where the cattle stay

on the grass for a week to 10 days.

They also make their own hay and feed cattle over the long winter. The summer days are long but there are only 55-60 frost-free days.

Water protection was one of the first concerns the Tapps addressed.

Two creeks flow through their property and into the Fraser Lake, a major source of water for the com-

munity, ranch and First Nations.

They installed a hard water crossing and fenced off the water ways.

They added solar water pumps for summer and geothermal water systems for winter.

Community involvement comes in different forms. They have collaborated with different groups to develop riparian projects and they were early adopters of the environmental farm plan They were the fifth ranch in B.C. to become verified beef producers and added the newest component with the Verified Beef Plus program.

Active in the Canadian Hereford Association, Janice is the B.C. association secretary. They use the total herd evaluation program to monitor their cattle’s genetic progress.

Copper T Ranch has grown to 80 cow-calf pairs of registered polled Herefords. The Tapps sell replacement and bred heifers, 4-H steers and two-year-old bulls, as well as beef direct from the farm.

Cattle are processed at Vanderhoof, B.C. To help keep Janice’s teaching talents fresh, the couple invites groups to visit the ranch, where they can talk about agriculture and food production.

They were also interviewed for the CBC program, Still Standing, which is expected to air next year.

The program focuses on small communities that have lost a major industry and managed to thrive.

Fraser Lake had a major mine close, but the region continues to work because of agriculture.

With no children of their own, succession planning was solved when they started working with Bill Lloyd and Jamie Richardson and their young son, Jesse, who are taking over the ranch.

“We love where we live and we love what we are doing,” Janice said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Raising antibiotic-free pigs involves many questions While research is ongoing to find substitute treatments, producers grapple with keeping pigs healthy without antibiotics

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

QUEBEC CITY, Que. — Using little or no antibiotics in swine production may be the wave of the future, but finding alternative treatments is a challenge.

Consumer groups have been vocal about antibiotic-free food because they believe it tastes better, think it is healthier for them or worry about residue in the food or the environment.

They are also concerned about cross-species antibiotic resistance between humans and livestock, said Laura Greiner, director of nutrition at Carthage Innovative Swine Solutions in Illinois.

The organization carries out health, production and swine nutrition research.

Antibiotics are used to prevent, manage and treat disease. They can also improve feed efficiency.

“There are times when antibiotics have to be used in a limited case-by-case basis,” Greiner said at the animal nutrition conference of Canada held in Quebec City May 10-11. The conference addressed antimicrobial resistance and potential alternative treatments.

In Canada, the antibiotic-free claim means the animal or fish must not have received antibiotics from birth to slaughter. The mother of the animal cannot receive antibiotics that might result in residues. Vitamins and minerals may be given only at the level of physiological action as a dietary supplement

Antibiotics are used to prevent, manage and treat disease in pigs.

They can also improve feed efficiency. | FILE PHOTO rather than an antimicrobial effect.

In the United States, the definition is more fluid and is often determined by processors.

“It is driven today by our packers and what companies prefer and what program we are going to follow,” she said.

Iowa State University estimated the cost of antibiotic-free swine production is about US$11-$15.50 per pig. Another study suggested

there was minimal change in animal performance without the use of antibiotics, so the cost would be less than $1 per pig.

Greiner said no one is sure about the actual figures but producers must depend on packer premiums to cover potential added costs.

Research is ongoing to find substitute treatments, and since 1990 about 1,700 studies have been undertaken.

In addition, some alternative products lack scientific support to back up claims.

Keeping pigs healthy is a combination of good nutrition, sound biosecurity and management, as well as effective vaccines.

Supplementing feed rations with a range of products may improve gut health and boost the immune system.

Better health starts with newborns and recently weaned pigs because those are the most susceptible phases of growth.

“We need to focus on those first three weeks after weaning to transition the pig, not only for the gut but because the immune system is starting to transition away from maternal antibodies,” Greiner said.

Weaning pigs may need diets with more lactose, plasma and other beneficial supplements to give them a boost and get their guts working.

Supplements like ionophores, zinc, copper, phytase and acidifiers can help.

Prebiotics feed the good flora in the gut and probiotics are live cultures in the diet. To be of benefit to the young pig, they need to be stable and survive pelleting.

“The data that has come out of probiotic studies is highly variable,” she said.

Enzymes added to feed have been heavily researched but data is

not consistent.

Adding enzymes like xylanase can help with feed efficiency while super dosing phytase helps reduce scours associated with plant products in the diet.

Essential oils like oregano and thyme are useful in swine diets because of their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

They can also increase feed intake and improve gut function.

However, Greiner said these products may work well for two weeks and then start to fail.

“You have to keep in mind when you go through these ABF (antibiotic-free) programs you are going to have to continually adjust because the organisms will adjust,” she said.

Alternate feed like rice and barley are good options for gut health, she said. Not all rice is the same so rations may have to be formulated differently.

Spray-dried plasma improves cell and immune function but producers may need to find alternatives if vegan diets are offered or if they are going antibiotic free.

“We need to do a better job if we are going to talk about antibioticfree programs and alternatives to get a better understanding of these products. This is not going to be a one-size-fits-all program,” she said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

THINGS “EWE” SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR SHEEP FLOCK

ANIMAL HEALTH

Alternatives needed to maintain poultry health if antibiotic use is suspended: growers

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

QUEBEC CITY, Que. — Extensive planning was required when poultry companies like Pilgrim’s Pride and Tyson Foods announced they were going antibiotic free in their operations.

“Removing antibiotics completely is still a challenge,” said Shivaram Rao of Pilgrims Pride.

It is essential to have treatment options available when early signs of increased deaths are observed, he said at the animal nutrition conference of Canada held in Quebec City May 10-11.

In 2013, less than five percent of chicken produced in the United States was antibiotic free but by 2018 about 55 percent is expected to be raised that way, said Rao. Many companies remove antibiotics from chickens at 35 days of age and have adopted new health practices that start at the hatchery.

“In the last 15 years the use of enzymes in feed has helped in this area. The program needs to be everywhere to make a long-term ABF (antibiotic-free) program successful,” he said.

Tyson has a plan in place to eliminate antibiotics important to human medicine from chicken production by September, said Dr. Scott Gustin, a veterinarian and

director of technical services.

It is a major challenge for the company that places 36 million birds every week.

When a company decides to go antibiotic free, producers must improve their awareness of bird behaviour and be able to diagnose problems sooner, he said.

Diseases like omphalitis and neocrotic enteritis are major issues and producers need to be able to recognize them and act quickly.

“The whole process has to be a little bit better,” he said.

Necrotic enteritis damages the intestine and birds can die.

“I can see it on the mismanaged farms but I can see it also among some of our very best producers,” he said.

Vaccines against some of the common poultry diseases may present good future options, but they are not perfect. Better sanitation, management and alternative products are needed. Producers and veterinarians also need to know which bug they are dealing with because that influences which products to use.

Tyson has been using probiotics for about eight years to help control clostridia. It has also tested more than 30 antibiotic alternatives in the last four years.

Additives cost an extra $10 extra per tonne for feed but they have to

consider the cost of sick or dead birds.

Researcher Brett Lumpkins of the Southern Poultry Research Centre in Georgia is part of a team investigating ways to control coccidiosis in poultry fed antibiotic-free diets.

Coccidiosis is the biggest disease among chickens around the world and costs about $3 billion a year to control globally. The strains may differ slightly but the destructive effects on the intestines are the same.

There are eight species of cocci that affect different regions of the gut.

One oocyst can be picked up by a bird and spread, resulting in 30,000 oocysts in a gram of litter. A large 12 by 120 metre barn could have 720 trillion oocysts by the time the birds are 20 days old.

Even with a full clean-out after the cycle of birds is removed, it is impossible to get rid of every speck where the pathogen may survive.

Vaccinations are available and should be considered more in the future. They will be the main control for coccidiosis because there are no new drugs up for approval.

Vaccines satisfy antibiotic-free programs so about 75 percent of chicken production has been vaccinated, said Lumpkins. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

With their size, ease of handling, and low cost, sheep can be a wonderful asset to your farm or acreage. However, just like other livestock or pets, sheep require preventative care to ensure their health and welfare is provided for.

As with cattle and horses, sheep hooves grow continually. They will require regular hoof trimming to prevent lameness and keep their feet healthy. How often trimming is required will depend on the environmental conditions and terrain the sheep are pastured on. Talk with your veterinarian to discuss how often hoof trimming is necessary for your flock.

Vaccines and regular deworming can keep your flock healthy and prevent disease occurrence. Deworming allows sheep to utilize their feed more efficiently and provides better gut health. However, parasite resistance to dewormers is becoming more common. It is important to remember that sheep vaccine and deworming needs differ from other species and will also vary depending on your location. Consult with your veterinarian to develop a deworming and vaccination program specific to your flock.

Shearing sheep and tail docking are also important considerations. Many breeds of sheep require their wool to be sheared to minimize overheating, reduce external parasite load, and to help prevent fly strike. Fly strike is a condition that occurs during the warmer months when blow flies are laying eggs. These flies will lay their eggs on soiled hindquarters of sheep. When the eggs hatch into larvae they feed on the skin and flesh of sheep. Sheep with open wounds, infected skin, or heavy fecal or urine contamination of the fleece are most susceptible to flystrike. Unfortunately, sheep can die of a secondary infection. Docking lambs’ tails and shearing at least once per year can help to prevent this condition.

Predators are a concern year-round, but sometimes flocks are more susceptible on pasture. Guardian animals such as dogs, llamas or donkeys can be useful. It is also important to note the predation programming available in SK. The SCIC Predation Compensation and Prevention Programs can be of assistance to producers who lose animals due to predators and will even pay a portion of the cost of a livestock guardian dog.

FORAGES

Native forages a valuable pasture resource USE NATIVE SPECIES FOR GRAZING

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The resilience, longevity and adaptability of native forages make them an important grazing resource for prairie cattle producers.

Even so, the value of native versus tame forages can generate controversy, says Agriculture Canada grazing management specialist Alan Iwaasa.

It’s a controversy he avoids, but he has focused his research on letting Mother Nature do much of the work when it comes to forage production, and that involves a lot of native forages.

“It’s difficult to envision a selection of tame or introduced grasses that could provide the tolerance, the ability to adjust to changing environmental conditions, from one extreme to another,” he said during a recent webinar organized by the Beef Cattle Research Council.

“This is where we need forage species that can really be adapted to these sometimes extreme environmental conditions.”

Native forages can allow producers to extend the grazing season and let cattle do the harvesting and fer-

Agriculture Canada grazing specialist Alan Iwaasa has studied using both a simple and a complex mix of native species. These are the ones he used: Simple mix (7 species): • Western wheatgrass • Northern wheatgrass • Green needlegrass • Awned wheatgrass • June grass • Slender wheatgrass • Purple prairie clover

Complex mix (12 species): • Western wheatgrass • Northern wheatgrass • Slender wheatgrass • Green needlegrass • Awned wheatgrass • Purple prairie clover • Canada wild rye • June grass • Little bluestem • Needle and thread grass • Blue grama grass • Prairie sandreed Source: Alan Iwaasa, Ag Canada

“Once you get them established, they can be there for a generation at a time,” said Iwaasa. “Native pastures can provide a really excellent forage resource and good animal performance and the animals can really do quite well on native pasture.”

Seed costs for native grasses are variable so Iwaasa advised producers to plan ahead to ensure they can

obtain the desired varieties.

Successful stands will require a well-prepared land base with preand post-seeding weed control.

He has ongoing studies of native species in several different mixes. One involved a simple seed mix of seven species and another more complex mix had 12 native species that included cool and warm season types.

The latter mix allowed for good vegetative growth at different times

in the grazing season, said Iwaasa, and allowed animals to select their feed to a greater degree. That can improve feed intake and weight gain.

He found no real differences between the simple and complex mixes in terms of total forage production.

Iwaasa cited previous work by renowned forage specialist Walter Willms, who said in his studies that tame grasses do not improve forage production on the northern mixed prairies.

As for grazing management, both native and tame varieties are vulner-

able if grazed too early in the season.

Tame species can stand heavier grazing, said Iwaasa, because in many cases they’ve been bred for that ability.

As for the ideal varieties of native species, that will depend on producer circumstances, seed prices and availability. Given that feeding costs make up 60 to 65 percent of the total costs in cattle production, Iwaasa said attention to grazing longevity and quality is worth the effort and native forages can fit the bill. barb.glen@producer.com

ened intestines and corrugated surface of the intestinal wall are also fairly characteristic of this disease.

The major challenge is not usually the individual animal diagnosis in the beef cow. The dilemma most veterinarians and producers face is what to do next with the rest of the herd.

The variety of diagnostic tests and approaches that are available can be overwhelming, and little guidance is available for dealing with the disease in the cow-calf herd because most of the research has been focused on the dairy herd.

Chronic watery diarrhea and significant weight loss in cattle older than two years are features of Johne’s disease, caused by persistent infection with the bacteria Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP).

Young calves or previously unexposed mature cattle may become infected by oral ingestion of the bacterium because of environmental contamination by an infected herd mate shedding MAP in manure.

Clinical signs of infection typically become apparent only at two years, or longer after failing to clear the primary infection. Chronically infected individuals may intermittently shed bacteria in manure and milk in the absence of clinical signs for several years, increasing the risk of exposure and infection for calves and other herd mates.

Our most recent estimate of the extent of MAP infections in Western Canada comes from the recent Western Canadian Cow-Calf Surveillance Network Project. In this study, local veterinarians collected blood samples from 1,811 cows from 93 herds in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Serum from blood samples was tested with an ELISA test for the detection of MAP antibodies.

Evidence of infection as deter-

mined by antibody presence was observed in only 28 of the cows, or 1.6 percent.

Positive herds were defined as having at least two cows test positive, and using that definition, 5.4 percent of herds tested in the surveillance network were positive.

Making decisions on how to approach controlling this disease at the herd level must be taken in context with the economic impact. There are two basic scenarios to consider: • diagnosis of Johne’s disease within a commercial cow-calf herd • diagnosis of Johne’s disease in a purebred or seed stock herd The second scenario has a greater potential economic impact, and seed stock producers have more motivation to control or attempt to eliminate this disease from their herds. At the very least, they should be seen to be making every effort to control this infectious disease and not spread it by selling infected individuals to other herds.

In the commercial herd, it may in some cases not be economically viable to attempt to do extensive diagnostics because the clinical impact of the disease in most commercial cowcalf herds is relatively minor unless they are heavily infected.

None of the diagnostic tests for Johne’s disease are very good at identifying cows that have subclinical infections. They all work better as the disease progresses but miss lots of positive cows early in the disease process.

The ELISA antibody test is the least expensive option, but it does the poorest job of finding positive cows early in the disease process. It also occasionally misdiagnoses negative cows as positive.

The fecal culture is the best test, but even it is imperfect and will not identify all the early infections. It is much more expensive and takes

months to grow the bacteria.

There is also a fecal PCR test that uses molecular methods to identify bacteria. It is cheaper and faster than the culture method but has the same issues as the ELISA antibody test.

Regardless of which diagnostic test is chosen, the imperfect sensitivities of the tests will not find all of the positive animals. As a result, the veterinarian and producer must be prepared for any form of control program to be a five to seven year project.

If you believe you have Johne’s disease in your herd, you will need to have a conversation with your veterinarian about which method of testing will be best for your particular situation.

Regardless of the testing protocol, biosecurity principles need to be in place to limit the spread of the infection. This is based on two main principles: • Minimize the exposure of susceptible calves to the feces of infected cattle.

• Reduce the environmental contamination by eliminating animals that shed MAP. The basic principles of minimizing fecal exposure for young calves that are implemented for controlling neonatal diarrhea are essentially the same management principles for controlling MAP infections.

It may not be cost effective to use whole herd diagnostic testing in commercial herds with a low prevalence of MAP infected cows. In these herds, early culling of clinical cases and implementing biosecurity principles to reduce the exposure of susceptible calves to adult feces may minimize transmission.

Sask. vows to Parliament teeters on brink of riot fight tax plan

BY KAREN BRIERE

FROM THE ARCHIVES

REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says the province will take Ottawa to court if it imposes a carbonpricing plan.

Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna recently released a technical discussion paper that outlines what the federal government would implement if the province doesn’t come up with a plan of its own.

“This federal government white paper is frankly more like a ransom note,” Wall said.

“It’s the federal government saying, ‘here is what you’re going to do from a public policy perspective, or this is what will be forced on the economy and the taxpayers in Saskatchewan.’ And we’re going to fight it in court.”

But McKenna said Ottawa is within its rights to implement the plan. It includes a $10 per tonne tax on carbon beginning in 2018, rising to $50 by 2022.

It will tax fossil fuels and eventually large industrial emitters who either have to pay or trade credits.

Similar to Alberta’s plan, there will be exemptions on farm fuel.

McKenna said four out of five Canadians already live in provinces that have carbon plans — Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

All other provinces have committed to developing their own plans, except Saskatchewan.

McKenna said she’s had at least a dozen meetings with provincial Environment Minister Scott Moe and noted the province’s progressive nature.

“It’s the province that brought in universal health care,” she told reporters. “I know people in Saskatchewan care greatly about our environment.”

But Wall argues now is not the right time to tax economies that are just beginning to recover from the downturn in the energy sector.

And he questioned how a tax that Ottawa says would be returned to the province changes peoples’ behaviour.

Ottawa is accepting comments on the discussion paper until June 30. It can be found at carbonpricing-tarificationcarbone@canada.ca. karen.briere@producer.com

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

75 YEARS AGO: MAY 28, 1942 The cost of living for Canadian farm families increased 2.1 percent between the fall of 1941 and the spring of 1942. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics also reported that food prices increased 32.2 percent from prewar levels.

Rules forcing gas stations to close at night were eased slightly for rural residents. Stations located eight kilometres or more from the limits of a city with a population of 5,000 or more would now be able to remain open until 9 p.m. Saturdays, which was two hours after the closing times set by gasoline regulations. “The step is being taken to help farmers,” said Munitions Minister C.D. Howe.

50 YEARS AGO: JUNE 1, 1967 Parliament Hill teetered on the brink of riot in late May when 15,000 farmers demonstrated to back up their demands for higher milk prices. Farmers stormed the doors of Parliament’s Centre Block, which was damaged.

FOOD INNOVATION RESEARCH GETS FUNDING The federal government is investing $120,000 more to the Canadian Food Innovators science cluster to consult with food and beverage processors on the research and innovation priorities.

The funding will help Canadian food and beverage manufacturers better compete, innovate and capitalize on new opportunities. The money will be used to better connect the needs of processors with the capacity and resources available through research centres, universities and food technology centres.

The institute will look for input from the sector to create a list of priorities designed to stimulate innovation and growth in Canada’s food industry. The food and beverage processing sector buys and processes more than 50 percent of farmers’ production across Canada.

AGRICULTURE ADVENTURE VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT

Hugh McVicar of Colonsay, Sask., filled up the seeder in May 1980. | FILE PHOTO years later and wouldn’t let go of power for 44 years.

25 YEARS AGO: MAY 28, 1992 Grain farmers were being asked to repay money they received from the Western Grain Stabilization Administration the previous year. They had initially received an interim payment of $158 million, but an unexpected increase in grain sales eventually reduced the payment to $117 million, which prompted the federal government to ask for the return of $41 million. The average amount to be paid back was $330.

Members of the House of Commons agriculture committee recommended that future governments financially support only farmers who met environmental standards on their farms.

The “cross compliance” recom-

mendation was expected to be controversial. “We have boldly stepped into an area to say something that must be said,” said committee chair Harry Brightwell.

10 YEARS AGO: MAY 31, 2007 Cloverdale Rodeo near Vancouver banned tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling and cowboy cow milking after a calf was injured and then euthanized during a roping event. However, Dale Leschiutta, president of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association, didn’t expect the move to spread to other rodeos.

The following volunteer positions are needed for Amazing Agriculture Adventure, Agriculture in the Classroom — Manitoba’s flagship program at the Keystone Centre in Brandon June 6 and 7.

Class host leads a group of students and their teacher to the right station at the right time.

Station facilitator runs a fun and interactive station giving students the opportunity to learn more about agriculture. Station facilitators are needed for sheep, wool, leafy spurge, enviroscapes, tractor/baler, combine, wheat grinding, farm business and weather.

Volunteers will be provided with a script and training to successfully run the station.

CAMELINA OIL APPROVED FOR SALMON The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has approved the use of mechanically extracted camelina oil as a feed ingredient for farmed salmon and trout.

Camelina sativa, or false flax, is a nutritious oilseed plant rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein and antioxidants.

These omega-3 acids are different to those present in fish oils, but they enhance the ability of fish to synthesize long-chain omega-3 fatty acids needed for optimal growth, which in turn ensures a healthful human product.

IMPORTED GOODS

Country missing out on $131 million in border duties: AG Products entering without permits because custom duties for chicken, dairy too complex for border service to enforce

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Canada’s auditor general says the country isn’t collecting all the agricultural duties that it should be at the border.

Michael Ferguson, in his spring report, said in 2015, importers who exceeded allowed amounts for products like chicken and dairy avoided $168 million in duties.

“Custom duties are too complex for the agency to enforce and that makes it easy for importers to

bypass rules and regulations,” he said, referring to the Border Service Agency.

The auditor found that $131 million worth of poultry, beef, eggs and dairy products entered Canada without proper permits. They would have generated the $168 million in duties.

Some products brought in dutyfree under the Duties Relief Program were sold in the country, despite the fact they are supposed to be exported.

Six companies lost their licences

last year for not paying the duties.

“The system for assessing customs duties doesn’t meet the needs of today,” Ferguson said in his report. “It can be expensive to apply, it can be difficult to administer, and, in fact, what we found was that the system as it exists on paper is different than the system as it’s actually being applied in practice.”

In the House of Commons, agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay said the Duties Relief Program is a concern.

“When I became minister of agri-

culture I found out it was a big problem at the border,” he said in question period. “We addressed that problem, and six import companies have lost their certificates to import products in this country, supply management products.”

MacAulay said the government will continue to work on the problem.

He also addressed the issue at the Commons agriculture committee.

“Have we solved all the problems? No we haven’t, but we’re certainly working on it to make sure

the supply-managed sector is treated in a fair manner,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

OF AGRIUM’S RETAIL SALES PROFITS CAME FROM CROP PROTECTION PRODUCTS IN 2016.

WESTERN CANADA HAS LOW UREA PRODUCTION COST Western Canadian urea production is highly profitable because of its low cost of production made possible by cheap natural gas. Urea in North America is priced relative to the benchmark set at New Orleans (NOLA). The price for the Pacific Northwest, which includes Western Canada, is about $150 above NOLA to account for distance from the benchmark. With production costs well below the regional selling price, western Canadian producers such as Agrium enjoy a strong market advantage over other world producers.

Agrium is not building new fertilizer plants, but it is going to continue expanding the retail side of its business.

“It is something we remain committed to and something that has been very lucrative for us,” chief financial officer Steve Douglas told investors attending BMO Capital Markets’ annual Farm to Market conference.

Agrium has spent $2.2 billion on 348 tuck-in acquisitions since 2010. Tuck-ins are small, independent retail outlets.

The numbers do not include the purchase of major chains, such as when Agrium acquired 210 of Viterra’s retail outlets in Western Canada and another 13 in Australia for $300 million in 2013.

Independent retailers are getting out of the business for a variety of reasons, including competitive pressures.

“Life is becoming very short for these mom and pop stores,” said Douglas.

They have to deal with environmental concerns, learn all the latest information about precision agriculture and invest in rolling stock such as trucks and application equipment.

“It just becomes a lot for them,” he said.

Tuck-ins have proven very profitable for Agrium, contributing $200 million to the company’s earnings in the first year after they were acquired over the last six years.

“Absolutely we’re going to remain aggressive on the retail side where it makes sense because we think that’s a key area of growth for us,” said Douglas.

By comparison, the company is putting the brakes on capital expenditures on the manufacturing side of the business now that it has commissioned its new urea plant in Borger, Texas.

Agrium owns 1,500 retail outlets in seven countries with 85 percent of its retail earnings contribution coming from its North American assets.

Douglas said the company’s more than 300 retail outlets in Western Canada have proven to be a good purchase.

Agrium has been able to capture the freight advantage of having retail outlets located so close to the company’s nitrogen, potash and phosphate production facilities in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“What that meant for us was saving about $30 to $35 per tonne,” he said.

The company is making good margins manufacturing and selling urea in Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Western Canada is among the lowest cost regions in the world for making urea fertilizer because of Alberta’s plentiful natural gas reserves and the nature of pricing in that province.

Combine that with a significant profit margin for selling the product in northwestern North America and it’s a recipe for making money.

The benchmark price for urea in No r t h A m e r i c a i s s e t at Ne w Orleans and is called the NOLA price. The selling price in the rest of North America is the NOLA price, plus freight.

Urea in northwestern North America sold for an average of $92 per tonne over NOLA from 2010-14 because of the cost to ship imported product from New Orleans by rail.

Douglas said Agrium’s “protected advantage” in the region will remain for the foreseeable future.

That is because 30 percent of U.S. urea production capacity is located on tidewater along the Gulf of Mexico, where it is much more economical to ship product by boat to South America than by rail to northwestern North America.

The retail segment of Agrium’s business contributed $2.6 billion to gross profit in 2016 with 40 percent of that coming from crop protection products, 30 percent from crop nutrients, 16 percent from agronomic services, 10 percent from seed and four percent from other merchandise.

The most profitable products are the company’s Loveland line of offpatent, generic products.

The proprietary products provide 50 to 100 percent higher margins than third party products. However, the company has to be careful that it doesn’t become too aggressive in marketing those products.

“Like any private label brand, we have to make sure we don’t crowd out the rest of our suppliers,” said Douglas.

Agrium’s market share ranges from 30 to 35 percent in most countries where it operates. The exception is the United States, where it controls 19 percent of the crop input business.

The company believes it is underrepresented in the U.S. corn belt, where farmer co-operatives have a stranglehold on the crop input business. That is one region where the company plans to augment its tuck-in strategy by building 10 to 30 new retail outlets by 2020 and hiring away the “local all star” employees from the co-ops by offering them more money.

Another target for growth is Brazil, where pastureland is being converted to higher value crops such as sugar cane, which require more nutrients. sean.pratt@producer.com

GLENCORE INTERESTED

Bunge share price rallies amid merger talks CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shares of Bunge Ltd rose to a 22 month peak May 24 after merger overtures by Glencore Plc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture unit, which owns Viterra in Canada, whetted investorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appetite for consolidation in the commodities sector.

News that Glencore Agriculture Ltd., jointly owned by Glencore and two Canadian pension funds, approached Bunge sparked the U.S. agribusinessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharpest rally in more than eight years.

A deal with Bunge could transform Glencore into a major force in the U.S. agriculture sector and would make the Swiss companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian joint venture the latest foreign entity to own of a piece of the U.S. food chain.

Bunge, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest oilseed processor, later said it was not in talks with Glencore and remained committed to its growth strategy of expanding into higher-margin products, such as natural food ingredients and specialty edible oils.

Bunge has worldwide operations.

In Canada it has five oilseed crushing plants and it is a minority shareholder in G3 Global Holdings, which is the majority investor in grain handler G3 Canada Ltd. Bungeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lukewarm response to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;possible consensual business combinationâ&#x20AC;? suggests that a twopronged merger and acquisition approach for agribusinesses may be in the offing, analysts said last week.

Grain trading veterans such as Bunge, Archer Daniels Midland Co and Cargill Inc., which already have a sizable U.S. presence, are aiming up the supply chain with specialty, higher-margin products.

The companies, along with Louis Dreyfus Co., are known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ABCDsâ&#x20AC;? of global grains trading.

Meanwhile, players like Glencore and Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cofco Group are eager to gain a foothold in the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top agricultural products exporter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and other key production areas in South America, where Bunge dominates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to be an ABCD, you have to buy one,â&#x20AC;? said Kansas State University agricultural economist Jay Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot go out and recreate these kinds of international trading

operations organically.â&#x20AC;?

Merger expectations have swirled around large grain traders for months following a string of poor earning results as low crop prices and a global glut of grains squeezed core commodity trading operations.

JPMorgan analyst Ann Duignan said she was surprised that Bunge struck a â&#x20AC;&#x153;relatively dismissive toneâ&#x20AC;? on the Glencore deal because its â&#x20AC;&#x153;core businesses remain under pressure, with agribusiness margins weighed down by burdensome supplies of crops in all producer regions.â&#x20AC;?

Glencore head Ivan Glasenberg said the company wants to expand its agriculture business but has no plans to move into any commodities in which it does not already trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a push to get more into the supply chain without going all the way to being branded food products,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Johnson, lead agribusiness credit analyst at Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Bunge, with a nearly $11.5 billion market cap, could sell for a 10-times multiple, which would imply a transaction value of about $90 per share, said Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein.

Glencore Agri is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest suppliers of sugar, wheat and pulses. It also trades cotton, corn, barley, soybeans and other crops.

In 2015, Brazil-based JBS SA bought Cargillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. hog business.

Two years earlier, Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd. struck a deal for Virginia-based Smithfield Foods, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest pork producer. Hong Kong-based WH Group now owns Smithfield.

Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bayer AG plans to acquire U.S.-based Monsanto Co., the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest seed maker, as part of a wave of consolidation in the seed and agrochemical industry that could shrink six large companies into four.

However, the shakeup among grain traders may look entirely different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a large, disparate industry and it took economies of scale to get these companies to where they are,â&#x20AC;? said Gary Blumenthal, president of World Perspectives Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But how much further can it go?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it working like it has in ag chemicals.â&#x20AC;?

he season for provincial and federal budgets is over and the good news is that most jurisdictions did not raise taxes.

The bad news is that most governments, aside from a few provinces, are financing increased deficits that will not disappear soon. A deficit will add to the interest expense line, removing dollars from new programs.

As well, the federal government removed some popular tax credits, such as the children fitness and arts tax credit.

The wonderful new goodies promised in the federal budget, such as billions of dollars for items like child care, will only kick in before the next election. No cost is shown now but they will eventually have to be paid out of tax revenue.

Another concern for government finances is the aging Canadian population. Retired people tend to have lower incomes and that means they pay lower taxes into

federal and provincial coffers.

Economic growth will likely not be able to pick up the slack so either taxes will have to rise to compensate or some of the promised goodies will have to be substantially reduced or disappear.

There are programs that allow people to reduce their tax bills.

The most popular and widely used tax incentives are registered retirement savings plans and tax free savings accounts.

RRSPs provide an immediate tax reduction benefit when you contribute and tax deferral on capital growth and interest. TFSAs, on the other hand do not provide an immediate benefit but do protect capital and interest growth and withdrawals are tax-free.

Most Canadians live near the border with the United States and often shop when travelling there. Many U.S. border communities offer to take the Canadian dollar at par while charging a significantly lower sales tax rate than our GST. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tax Act allows each of us to bring back $750 untaxed after a limited stay in the U.S. For farm families with small children, there is the child-care expense deduction. If you are trying to start a family or increasing the size of your family, there is the adoption expense tax credit.

There are other tax reduction and

incentive plans as well: â&#x20AC;˘ For students in postsecondary education there are scholarship and bursary exemptions and student loan incentives. â&#x20AC;˘ For families struggling with disabled children there is the child disability benefit. â&#x20AC;˘ For seniors or the disabled there are caregiver amounts and disability tax credits.

Seniors still have one of the most powerful tax planning strategies with pension income splitting. This provides the equivalent of almost filing jointly with your spouse so you can smooth income by reducing the higher tax brackets.

For those looking to buy their first home, whether it is in the city or country, there is the first-time home buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax credit. There is also the RRSP home buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to assist with down payment if the conditions are present.

The family farm corporation or the farm land may be transferred to the next generation virtually tax free while enjoying a capital gains deduction of up to $1 million.

The Tax Act has a host of deductions. Be familiar with them. It is your right to use them.
