Historic vote ends CWB single desk Swift Senate approval expected | Iron curtain lifted for prairie farmers, says Conservative MP

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

After more than three decades of debate and rancour, MPs voted Nov. 28 to approve legislation that will end the Canadian Wheat Board single desk effective Aug. 1, 2012.

As farmers sat in the visitors’ gallery overlooking the floor of the House of Commons, the vote divided between the Conservative majority and the combined opposition — 153-120.

For five minutes, Conservative MPs applauded as the vote was counted.

When the vote result was announced at 6:55 p.m., scores of farmers in the gallery stood, waved their arms and then filed out quietly.

Conservative MPs stood in a standing ovation.

“This is a tremendous day,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said during Commons question period Nov. 28 in anticipation of the vote.

“This is a movement forward. This

is what we’ve been waiting for for decades. We will get the job done tonight.”

Opposition MPs denounced it as a sellout to agribusiness and American grain traders.

There was drama on the streets of Ottawa after Ritz and agriculture ministers from Alberta and Saskatchewan used a joint news conference to herald the impending vote as a great day for their farmers.

Farmer protestors with pro-CWB

signs and loyalty to the board ran after the ministers as they walked away, shouting at them, booing and calling them liars.

Bill C-18 now goes to the Senate, where final approval is expected within three weeks.

Ritz told the morning news conference with Saskatchewan agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud and Alberta minister Evan Berger that govern-

HISTORIC VOTE | FROM PAGE ONE

Historic vote ends CWB ment Senate House leader Marjorie LeBreton understands the government’s urgency because it wants the law in place this month so farmers and grain companies can begin to make their 2012 planting and marketing decisions during the winter.

“She’s certainly onboard with this moving through,” he said.

“As we’ve always said, we need clarity and certainty. We need this done before they rise for Christmas so that we can get royal assent on it and farmers and the new entity and the industry itself can start to offer pooling, hedging, forward contracting and start moving forward.”

Once the legislation is proclaimed into law in December, the eight remaining farmer-elected directors will lose their jobs, five governmentappointed directors will run the CWB and farmers will be able to forward contract for delivery after July 31, 2012, when the single desk ends.

The new voluntary board will have a financial backstop from the government for the first five years but will then have to have a business plan to morph into a new voluntary grain marketer or be dissolved.

Critics bitterly complained that the Conservatives are driven by ideology and not business sense, operating without a cost-benefit analysis and intent only on ending the 67-yearold wheat and barley monopoly on export sales and domestic sales for human consumption.

REGULAR FEATURES

Despite earlier promises, the Conservatives refused to hold a farmer vote on the issue.

A CWB plebiscite showed 62 percent of respondents in favour of the single desk, but critics challenge the validity of the numbers.

Debate in the Commons on the last day was only slightly less raucous than the shouting on Ottawa streets.

One Conservative MP said the new legislation was “lifting the iron curtain” on prairie grain farmers.

Winnipeg New Democrat MP Pat Martin said he drove past his city’s historic mansions on the weekend, built by “robber barons in the 1900s, 1910s and 1920s who gouged prairie farmers so mercilessly that they were forced into collective action to protect themselves.”

He called Conser vatives “the agents of the treacherous.”

Meanwhile, after their final meeting last week, farmer-elected CWB directors said the government decision to raise the CWB contingency fund limit to $200 million from $100 million meant $25 million in revenues that would have gone into pool accounts for final payments were left in the bigger contingency fund.

Ritz said it is “absolutely not true” that the government decision short changed final payments by $25 million. He said revenue from non-pool account transactions were never intended for the pool.

“This was the baby that was at her side. So now we are going to go home and do the same thing and make more babies,” said Hardy.

The female comes from a cow family named Annie K that stretches back generations. The grandmother, mother and daughter have all been champions, Hardy said.

The family owned operation works with a trusted team of herdsmen that Hardy praises.

“We take the credit together.

The two-year-old is owned in partnership with Deobald’s Cedarlea Farms of Hodgeville, Sask., CSS Charolais of Paynton, Sask., and Char-Mo Farms of Leduc, Alta.

The home-raised bull was breeding cows this summer, said Betty Ann Stewart of CSS. Agribition is his last event.

Deobald, who also works as a livestock exporter and a pharmaceutical company representative, had the bull at his place in southwestern Saskatchewan this summer.

He kept mum about the bull’s chances during Agribition, held Nov. 21-26 in Regina.

“It’s one of those things you don’t want to talk about in case you jinx yourself,” he said.

There were 38 bulls and 43 cows, most with calves at side, for the final showdown that rewarded the supreme winners with $10,000 each in cash as well as additional prizes.

Winners came from shows in Canada and the United States.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | NATIONAL FARMERS UNION

NFU adjusts priorities now that CWB battle lost Supply management new priority | Farm group says fighting Conservative agenda will keep it busy; producer cars are another issue STORIES BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

LONDON — The National Farmers Union is losing one of its signature issues and rallying cries.

The NFU has been the most vocal and militant defender and promoter of the single desk during the Canadian Wheat Board debates of the past several decades.

Within weeks, the battle will be largely over unless the courts intervene to block the government.

So what will fill the pending gap for the 42-year-old farm organization?

President Terry Boehm said the NFU will not let the flame die, but he concedes the fight likely has been lost for the moment and NFU priorities will have to be adjusted.

“I don’t think it is impossible that some future government may be convinced to rebuild a single desk or some form of farmer market power, so I have to remain optimistic that this is not necessarily the end of the story and it will take some time for farmers to see the effects,” he said in an Nov. 24 interview during the NFU annual convention.

“Politics change. In the 1990s, the Liberals looked like the natural governing party and the Conservatives were out, and look at now, so all sorts of things can happen in politics.”

Still, the Conservatives are expected to soon win this round.

“Clearly, there will have to be some realignment of our priorities.”

Boehm, who was acclaimed for his third one-year term as NFU presi-

dent Nov. 25, said defending supply management will become a main priority for the organization.

“I think supply management will become the next frontier,” he said.

“Whatever the government is saying now in support, how real is that?

They have signalled new trade talks where supply management protections clearly will be on the table. If they targeted the wheat board so aggressively, does anybody really think they support high tariffs?”

The Saskatchewan farmer insisted there is no shortage of issues to engage the energy and passion of NFU members.

He said the Conservatives’ aggressive pursuit of trade deals holds many potential dangers for Canadian farmers and society: lower tariffs and a

greater influx of cheap imports to loss of national sovereignty and the ability of governments to respond to national priorities and Canadian wishes.

Boehm expects the majority Conservative government to weaken the Canadian Grain Commission, fail to protect farmers’ right to producer cars and do little to curb the increasing power of railways and agribusiness in the farm economy.

He also speculated that the rail revenue cap will be under threat from the Conservatives in the interests of “efficiency and better service.”

“I think farmers are being set up incrementally to lose many of the protections they have and to be more at the power of others,” he said.

“I really think the task force (working group) on the wheat board and its

report was telling. The message was, ‘let market forces prevail,’ and history has shown that is not good news for farmers.”

The NFU will continue its fight against introduction of new genetically modified organisms in farm products and will continue to insist that existing government programs do not adequately protect farmers from market price fluctuations and catastrophes such as drought.

It is a long list of continuing issues despite the CWB setback, he said.

“It’s endless, but we will stay focused,” said Boehm.

“This government has worked at trying to disenfranchise us and to pressure other organizations about what they can say if they want to continue having access.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | SHIPPING

Feds will allow CWB-ordered lakers to be built, then plan to sell them Ottawa will allow two grain ships ordered by the Canadian Wheat Board to be built and then sell them to recoup the money, says agriculture minister Gerry Ritz.

He told reporters Nov. 22 the Conservative government has not yet decided how to pay for them but will avoid sticking the CWB pools with the cost.

“It would cost more to cancel than to recoup so the best advice we have is to let the contract revolve and at some point let it be known they will be for sale,” Ritz said after a speech to a Canada Grains Council industry

symposium in Ottawa.

“We’ll do it in the best interests of farmers so they don’t get caught.

We’ll do our damnedest to make sure the pool monies don’t get pirated.”

The CWB board of directors’ voted this year to buy two new St. Lawrence Seaway lakers for delivery by 2013 and put a $13 million down payment into the deal out of the pool accounts.

The CWB said the overall cost would be $65 million over four years and save the pools $10 million annually in reduced shipping costs once in operation. The ships would be oper-

ated by a private marine company.

With the CWB losing its single desk powers by the end of the year, chair Allen Oberg said the money used for the down payment should be returned to the pools from the board’s contingency fund.

“One of the things the board believes is that we’d like to reimburse farmers for the money they have paid and will pay on purchase of the lakers because that’s an asset they will no longer own or receive any benefit from,” he said.

Ritz did not sound inclined to agree.

“Funny he didn’t use that to begin

with,” the minister said. “There was $100 million in the contingency fund, so why didn’t they use that in the first place? Why did they dip into the pool account? It is a death bed conversion.”

The contingency fund accumulates from profits earned on CWB transactions outside the pool.

Meanwhile, with the government raising the contingency fund’s maximum level to $200 million to backstop the proposed voluntary wheat board, questions remain about how that money can be used.

Government officials insist federal

funds and not the contingency fund will be used to pay CWB wind-up costs.

However, Ritz last week again raised the possibility the fund could be used to pay severance costs for CWB employees. He said the government will conduct an audit of the board once the monopoly is gone and then develop a plan about impending costs with the government-appointed board. “(Severance) is a possibility,” he said. “We’re not ruling anything out at this point. We’re not saying definitively that it’s for that.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

AGRIBITION | WRAP-UP

More people, entries at show About 800 international guests attend Agribition

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Warm weather, packed parking lots and strong sales made for a successful Canadian Western Agribition, organizers said as the show concluded Nov. 26.

Final sales and attendance figures weren’t yet known, but chief executive officer Marty Seymour, at the helm of his first show, said staff and the board were pleased.

“Turnstile traffic has been outstanding,” he told reporters. “As the week moved on, traffic continued to grow.”

President Bryan Hadland outlined sale highlights including the $67,000 price paid for a half-interest in a Red Angus bull calf, a $21,000 bison bull and a Simmental heifer calf for $20,000.

“Sales on the purebred side are well above what they were a year ago,” he said. “All the exhibitors are very happy.”

Many of the top prices were paid on young stock, signifying investment in the future.

Cattle entries were similar to last year at 1,500 purebreds and 500 commercial cattle. Hadland said entries were down but more showed up, putting the numbers on par.

Seymour noted that entries in junior classes were up significantly.

“I think it’s a sign of the vibrancy of the agriculture and food business that we’re in,” he said.

The people also showed up, particularly from other countries. About 800 international guests from 67 countries registered at the International Business Centre, along with a larger number of American visitors than usual.

A sale of live animals to Mexico was made during the show, along with semen and embryo sales to several countries.

“We are the international marketplace in Canada,” Hadland noted.

The show pumps about $27 million annually into the economy.

In 2013 it will be one of two major events occurring back-to-back in Regina. Because the city will host the Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup championship game that year, Agribition will be moving earlier in the calendar to Nov. 11-16.

Seymour said he is looking forward to the synergies from having two exciting events in the city.

In the meantime, Agribition continues to work with Evraz Place and governments to try to improve facilities on the grounds. This year’s weather meant few concerns, but aging barns and utilities have long been on the agenda for improvement.

Next year’s show runs Nov. 19-24. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | HEREFORD SALE

Half interest in Hereford bull’s semen

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

R i c k Jo h n s t o n s ay s JJ P H 8 3 T Benchmark 127Y is the best bull calf he’s had in 35 years of raising Herefords.

When he offered him for sale at the Ca na d i a n We s t e r n A g r i b i t i o n national Hereford sale Nov. 24, he d i s c ov e re d h ow h i g h l y o t h e r s thought of him, too.

Twenty-two breeders paid a total of $46,000 for a half-interest in semen packages from Benchmark, a calf born in March.

One of those buyers, Bill Biglieni from WLB Herefords at Douglas, Man., said he isn’t worried about the calf’s young age.

“He’s not perfect, but he really excels in the right areas,” he said.

“He’s probably the thickest animal

in the barn.”

Johnston of Maidstone, Sask., agreed.

“He’s probably got more top and thickness in him than we’ve had in our Hereford barns for a while,” he said. “Our breed needs a little more muscle.”

Johnston retained half-ownership, and the purchasing syndicate has the right to semen for two years before he can sell it to anyone else.

Biglieni believes Benchmark is the right bull to move the breed ahead.

Without good herd bulls, breeders run the risk of falling behind, he said.

The fact that Benchmark looks so promising as a calf could give the syndicate members a leg up on other breeders.

Two three-quarter sisters stood alongside the calf in his stall at Agribition and Biglieni said buyers could

see how the pedigree was working.

Benchmark has grand and supreme champion bulls in his background, as well as WLB genetics, and should provide the buyers with a marketing advantage.

Still, there are no guarantees.

“This is not 100 percent,” Biglieni said. “You try to get the odds in your favour.”

Buying semen is a way to hedge risk.

“It reduces your initial investment and the possibility of a high return is pretty good,” he said.

The syndicate members included breeders from across Western Canada and several states.

Demand for Hereford bulls has been strong the last few years.

Johnston said commercial cattle producers want bulls that provide the hybrid cross they need for a true

baldy, so they are willing to spend good money on bulls.

The purebred side is also apparently willing to spend.

Johnston said the sale was a highlight of his career, but it is also a validation of his breeding program.

Biglieni said Johnston is a good breeder who hasn’t pushed or pampered his cattle.

He had already singled out Benchmark before he was approached to be part of the syndicate and is taking it as a compliment of his own assessment skills.

“You’re always looking for a new herd bull and I always said if I see him, I’ll know him,” Biglieni said. “I need that rear quarter. It’s going to put us way ahead.”

Although Benchmark finished second in his class in the polled Hereford show, he was the first animal access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

REGINA — A dismal year at one southern Manitoba farm looked brighter when the family run operation won the supreme champion pen of commercial bulls at Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 21-26.

Downey Farms of Coulter won with a pen of three black yearling Simmental bulls that came from an embryo flush on the farm. Allan and Jacquie Downey’s 14-year-old son, Ryan, owns the bulls.

Ryan is trying to start his own purebred herd. His cow yielded five eggs, which all resulted in bull calves. He needed a marketing plan and with encouragement from his parents, decided to try the commercial competition in Regina.

Sired by Wheatland Simmental bulls, they created buzz from the traffic in the commercial barn.

“It is amazing how people react,” said Ryan.

The bulls were all around 309 days old and had an average daily gain of 3.60 pounds per day.

Allan has been in the Simmental business for 40 years and prefers the traditional full blood cattle with their red coats and white faces.

Ryan wants to build a herd of solid reds and blacks. The farm has 285 commercial cows based on traditional Simmental breeding and 90 purebreds that have been shown in Brandon, Edmonton Farmfair and Agribition.

It was a big win for the Downeys, who lost most of their pasture this year when the Souris River flooded and washed away forage and prevented them from seeding crops.

The challenge when they return to Manitoba is finding feed this winter.

Pastures are still covered with furniture, black matter and sediment.

“Our pastures have been in trouble for a couple of years. We’ve had bad floods before, but this was the worst,” Allan said.

“We’ll wait till next year. We made it through BSE so surely we can carry on,” said Jacquie. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

China was a prolific buyer of Canadian canola during the first three months of 2011-12 and is about to develop an even bigger appetite, according to an industry official.

The grand opening of Viterra’s jointly owned 680,000 tonne crush plant in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi was set for Nov. 30.

“In its simplest form, it’s more opportunity for us to move seed into that marketplace. Obviously that’s a good thing,” said Cory McArthur, vice-president of market development with the Canola Council of Canada.

The Viterra plant gives Canada a sixth approved delivery destination under China’s blackleg protocol.

Those six plants can process 2.8 million tonnes of canola, which is the most Canada has ever shipped there.

McArthur said China can be a mysterious and sporadic buyer of Canadian canola. It will be nice to have a new crushing facility that can add transparency and predictability to the Chinese export program.

“Obviously, having somebody with the Canadian canola industr y invested in a facility over there takes some of the guessing work out of it,” he said.

Chuck Penner, an analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, doesn’t agree there will be an uptick in demand associated with Viterra’s grand opening because China already

China expects to import 41 percent more canola ths year. | has plenty of crushing capacity.

“I don’t think there is a bottleneck there right now that needs to be relieved,” he said.

Penner also said Viterra could fuel its plant with Australian canola.

Growers there are expected to harvest 2.6 million tonnes of canola, up from 2.2 million last year.

“That will be a bit of a competitor even in the next few months, so we might see (Canadian exports) slow down a bit,” he said.

If sales to China slow, it might not be a market mover because domestic

and international demand have been high.

“The supplies are going to be getting a lot tighter and we’ve already seen the basis levels narrow in some places to par with futures,” said Penner.

“Based on how quickly we’re going through the pile of canola, there actually has to be more out there than what we’re reporting. Otherwise we’re going to basically run out before the end of the year.”

He suspects Statistics Canada will find another one million tonnes of

the oilseed in the Dec. 6 production report. That could cause basis levels to widen slightly, but only if growers push more product on the market.

The extra supply could help feed a Chinese market that bought 534,200 tonnes of canola during the first three months of the 2011-12 marketing campaign, making it the second biggest buyer next to Japan, which has bought 556,800 tonnes.

Sales to China are up 127 percent over the first quarter of last year. In fact, Canada has already sold more than half of last year’s total shipments of 916,800 tonnes.

And it doesn’t look like there will be much of a reduction in sales for the rest of the year based on comments made by the China National Grain and Oils Information Centre, which expects 2011-12 (June/May) canola imports to hit 1.8 million tonnes, up 41 percent from the 1.277 million tonnes imported last year.

McArthur said that is simply a function of the rapidly expanding Chinese middle class.

“There is more people consuming vegetable oils and there is more people looking for healthier cooking oils,” he said.

COFCO Co. Ltd., the largest stateowned grain trader, recently built four rapeseed plants in China’s main growing areas to help meet that demand.

Canada’s canola exporters won’t be able to ship product to those plants because of China’s blackleg restrictions, but COFCO is also contemplat-

ing investing in a plant on the coast, which the Canola Council of Canada would push to have included on the list of approved crushers.

McArthur thinks India could someday rival China as a major buyer of Canadian canola. He travelled to India last week to talk to food manufacturers and oil importers about the virtues of canola oil.

It is only an oil market now, but it could become a big seed buyer once approvals are in place for Canada’s genetically modified varieties.

“One could argue that if we’re moving product into China, there is no reason we shouldn’t be moving production into India from a demographic standpoint,” he said.

“We just need to start creating a little bit of groundswell of demand and hopefully we’ll start to see the numbers go up.”

PULSES, SPECIAL CROPS | ACREAGE

Increase in crop acres expected after last year’s floods Pulse and special crops acreage is expected to bounce back from last year’s flooded out mess but won’t return to the glory days.

Stat Publishing editor Brian Clancey is forecasting 6.7 million acres of the crops, up from 5.64 million last year but well below the 2008-10 average of 7.83 million.

“Competition for acreage has

become more intense,” he said.

Canola offers the stiffest competition. Domestic crush continues to expand and new opportunities have opened up for canola oil in biodiesel markets in the United States and the European Union.

It also has complete price transparency, with growers able to price their crops nearly two years in advance.

“That to me is a huge, huge competitive advantage,” said Clancey.

“When the Canadian Wheat Board is no longer the monopoly marketer of wheat and durum, that same advantage goes to wheat and durum.”

It will be tough for lentils, chickpeas and canaryseed to compete with wheat and durum and for peas and lentils to fend off the yellow tide, giv-

en those circumstances.

But so much land was taken out of production last year that every crop can go up in area without taking anything away from each other, which is why Clancey is comfortable with his forecast for a 19 percent increase in total pulse and special crops acreage.

“It looks dramatic on paper but we fell a long way. We fell three million

acres and now we’re getting back one (million acres),” he said.

Peas account for most of the increase. Clancey sees 3.2 million acres, up 935,000 acres from 2011.

The 2011-12 average price is the second highest in the history of the crop, which could explain why peas have been flying off the farm.

flax prices tumble

Purdue University’s Chris Hurt, a leading hog analyst, noted this situation in a recent commentary and projects even better times in 2012. “The level of profitability could be the most favourable during the highpriced feed era,� Hurt said. “Profits in 2012 are currently forecast to be near $17 per head, which would be the highest since 2006,� he said. “The pork industry has probably turned the corner on high feed prices as one looks to 2012 with abundant, cheap feed wheat, prospects for moderation in the rate of growth in corn use for ethanol, the potential for a larger South American soybean crop and hope for a return to higher U.S. corn and soybean yields.�

So, in that context, why would a hog producer hedge at all?

Well, I’d say they should hedge

FLAX | MARKET PROJECTION

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Flax prices are on the way down, say a buyer and a market analyst.

Keystone Grain was paying growers $16.50 per bushel for their flax two months ago.

Late last week, the price was barely touching $15 and it could be down to $13.50 by Christmas.

Prices are falling because of overproduction in the Black Sea region and slumping demand due to economic volatility in the European Union and political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa.

Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan harvested 700,000 to 720,000 tonnes of flax this year, which is more than double the normal output and far above the 379,000 tonnes Canadian growers produced.

Black Sea growers jumped on the flax bandwagon after their governments placed export duties on other oilseeds last year.

Growers and exporters saw flax had escaped the punitive duties and grew too much.

Grant Fehr, flax and special crops manager for Keystone, said North American flax that sells for $915 per tonne at the port in Mersin, Turkey, is competing with $700 per tonne flax from the Ukraine. “We’re $200 to $220 per tonne too high,� he said.

That has halted Canadian flax exports to the EU, the Middle East and North Africa. Almost none of the 2011 crop has moved to the EU, traditionally Canada’s top flax mar-

Clancey expects about half of the 2011 harvest will move by the end of December.

Lentils are the only pulse or special crop expected to shrink, with Stat Publishing forecasting an 11 percent contraction to 2.36 million acres.

Average bids for every grade of lentil are down from a year ago, but the weighted average return is up because of the improved quality of this year’s crop. However, farmers are annoyed that this year’s No. 2 lentils fetch far less than last year’s No. 2s. “You make more money but you get kicked on the price and the grades.

People don’t always like that when that happens. They feel kind of betrayed by the market,� he said.

Red lentils in particular will lose ground to durum, Clancey said.

Bean acres should rebound

ket. “As of right now, I would consider that market dead to the Canadian market until at least summer of next year and it could be longer,� said Fehr.

Most of what has been exported was sent to health food markets in the United States.

China, which can consume a lot of flax if the price is right, could be the big wild card.

However, the spread between flax prices and other oilseeds is too high.

For instance, there is a $200 to $300 per tonne spread between flax and palm, largely because Canadian flax growers are refusing to deliver. “Their bank accounts are full so they’re in no rush,� Fehr said. “That’s the only thing that is really holding this market up where it is right now.�

He anticipates the holdout will continue until next spring or summer. “They’re either going to have to build bins or they’re going to have to move some product.�

He expects prices will eventually drop back to about a $2 per bu. premium over canola. “There was some $13.50 contracting being done for new crop. That’s a darn good contract,� said Fehr.

John Duvenaud, analyst with Wild Oats Grain Market Advisory, agreed that flax prices will likely fall.

He said Canada is a high-priced island in the global flax market and there are bearish fundamentals associated with being $2 per bu. above world price levels. “Pressure is going to be there for prices to ease off,� he said. “I would be up-to-date with my flax sales.�

because of record high prices and the hope of better seeding conditions in Manitoba. However, the crop will have a tough time fending off competition from soybeans. “Farmers in Manitoba are more in love with soybeans than edible beans because soybeans are an easier crop to grow and market,� he said.

That’s why Clancey is forecasting 289,000 acres of beans, up 86 percent from last year’s crop but below what was planted in each of the three years before the 2011 moisture disaster.

Chickpea area is expected to rise 41 percent to 106,000 acres because of record world prices, but prices have probably peaked unless there is a crop wreck in India or Mexico, he said.

Canaryseed, mustard and sunflower acres are all expected to be up substantially over 2011 levels.

og farmers have figured out margin protection at last, it seems.

That’s a good lesson for all prairie crop and livestock farmers, many thousands of whom still do no margin hedging.

Hams Marketing general manager Perry Mohr has been telling hog producers at marketing presentations that until recently only 10 percent of hogs going though his service were hedged. But this year that has climbed to 25 percent or more.

The farmers who hedge are locking in about half of expected production.

And because 90 percent of Hams’ clients produce all their own feed grains, those producers are well hedged, with wiggle room to protect against an unexpected fall in their hog production or benefit from a rising market.

Mohr said many hog farmers are open minded about hedging more, but the real drive has come from banks, credit unions and lenders.

After a couple of brutal downturns — in 1998 and in the mid-late 2000s — financial institutions are not keen on lending big piles of cash to farmers who won’t protect their margins. “Producers are maxed when it comes to their financial leverage,� said Mohr. “The one way that you can really provide a convincing case for a financial institution is to actually have hogs hedged.�

That’s especially true in these times of super-volatile meat and crop prices. Hog profitability is primarily derived from the spread between feed grain and market hog prices. For more than a year, that spread has been highly profitable. Feed grain prices have been sky high but so have live hog prices, keeping the margin attractive.

because Hurt’s outlook, as compelling as it is, won’t necessarily pan out. He could be wrong. And financial catastrophes commonly happen when expectations are overturned. If feed wheat and corn rise rather than fall, and hog prices fall rather than stay strong, margins will be crushed.

Mohr told me Hams didn’t have trouble convincing farmers to hedge when the forward price was better than the present cash price. “Psychologically, it’s a lot easier if cash today is $150 and the price next summer is $180. It’s easy to pull the trigger on that,� he said.

But some farmers locked in good profits earlier this year, then saw the cash market continue rising, and felt afterward that they’d made a poor decision because they could have made more.

Mohr said his marketers try to convince farmers that locking in profits is simply good sense, and that margin protection is a good practice.

I hope they’re successful in convincing farmers that margin protection is essential, however it’s done.

It’s nice to believe in outlooks like Hurt’s, but any outlook can be overturned by reality, and it wouldn’t be fun walking into a lender’s office next summer to explain why you let today’s fat margins escape.

MARKETS

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 1, 2011

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES JUMP The weaker loonie and a strong U.S. market combined to drive fed cattle prices much higher.

Packers were aggressive buyers, making feedlots extremely current in their marketing and allowing them bargaining room to support these high prices.

Fed steers averaged $118.31 per hundredweight, up $3.96, and heifers were $116.93, up $3.11. Alberta rail prices for steers were $194.50$200.75 and heifers were $194.50$197.75.

A large percentage of the week’s offering sold on a dressed weight basis, due to an increased volume of short fed summer yearlings.

American packer interest helped support prices.

The cash-to-futures basis nar-

rowed by more than $1 to -$9.01.

Fed slaughter in Western Canada to Nov. 19 totalled 30,072 head, up two percent from the previous week.

Weekly fed exports to Nov. 12 fell nine percent to 7,419 head.

COW PRICES EDGE HIGHER The tight supply of fed cattle is increasing demand for non-fed cattle. The weekly cow slaughter volume reached the largest level since late February.

D1, D2 cows were $60-$71 cwt. to average $65.41, up $1. D3 cows were $50-$64 to average $57.09.

Rail bids were $124-$129 per cwt.

Butcher bulls traded mostly steady.

Weekly exports to Nov. 12 totalled 4,063, down nine percent from the previous week.

FEEDER PRICES SLIP Large feeder marketings during the month pressured prices lower, but the lower Canadian dollar and strong fed market are supporting prices.

The average steer price fell 24 cents last week, while heifers were 90 cents lower.

Heifer calves fell $1.50, while midweight steers were steady.

The few yearlings on offer saw strong value.

The average 900 pound and heavier steer-heifer price spread has been less than $6.75 per cwt.

Pre-sorted packages of potential seedstock heifers are being assembled with strong buyer interest.

The fall run is starting to wind down with auction volume at 65,734, down 27 percent from the previous week.

However, warm weather should pre-

vent a big drop in volume.

Weekly feeder exports to Nov. 12 totalled 999, up 11 percent from the previous week.

BRED COWS Good non-fed values are providing a strong floor price for bred cows.

Commercial herds with good reputations are seeing strong producer interest with packages trading up to $1,700 per head. The range is $1,000$1,700 on bred cows and $1,040$1,750 on bred heifers.

Dispersals from British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being showcased at southern Alberta auctions.

A large offering of bred cows in December could overwhelm buyers.

Mature or blemished packages of cows will likely be sold to packers. access=subscriber section=markets,livestock,none

BEEF STRONGER U. S. c u t- o u t v a l u e s w e r e 5 0 cents-$1.50 US higher on light to moderate demand and offering.

Choice 600-900 lb. cutouts Nov. 25 were $196.23 US per cwt. and Select were $177.04.

Canadian cut-out values to Nov. 18 rose $4 Cdn, with AAA at $185.38 and AA at $176.

The Montreal wholesale for delivery this week was steady at $207$209.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS RISE Hog prices crept higher as investors speculated that pork demand will be good in the period between U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pork exports remain strong.

U.S. live barrow and gilts on Nov. 23 ranged from $56.74 to $66.50 US per hundredweight to average $63.05.

On Nov. 18, the range was $55.04$63 and the average was $61.30.

U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $89.77 on Nov. 25, down from $90.18 Nov. 18.

The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 1.71 million in the holiday shortened week, down from 2.14 million the previous week.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.85-$4 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers were $3.80-$4.

Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted.

Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.80.

LIVESTOCK | COOL RULING

CRAIG’S VIEW

COOL victory at WTO requires more patience

V

ictorytastessweetandininternational matters, victory over the mighty United States is even sweeter.

Canada’s decisive win in its complaint against the American country-of-origin labelling rules proves the truth of its position that COOL discriminated against Canadian livestock exports, damaged market access and imposed expensive labelling and tracking systems on livestock destined for the U.S. COOL became, in effect, a non-tariff trade barrier and the World Trade Organization, in its Nov. 18 ruling, recognized it as such.

Essentially, U.S. COOL rules dictate that only animals born, raised and slaughtered in America can carry the product of the U.S. label. That requires American processors to segregate imports from domestic stock, an expensive process that discourages them from buying Canadian product.

In the year after COOL was implemented in 2008, Canadian feeder cattle and hog exports dropped precipitously.

Transport costs also increased when only a limited number of U.S. plants would accept Canadian animals.

In terms of hard numbers, U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show a steep drop in Canadian exports of slaughter cattle and hogs after 2008.

Canadian exports of cattle totalled 1,555,209 in 2008, dropped to 1,045,628 in 2009 and rose slightly to 1,055,215 in 2010. Canadian hog exports totalled 9,605,426 in 2008, dropped by more than three million in 2009 to 6,349,253 and dropped still further in 2010 to 5,769,319.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association estimates COOL cost producers $80 to $100 per animal at first, though costs dropped slightly later as rules became more flexible. For the hog sector, COOL brought about the demise of many Canadian hog operations.

With that kind of trade reduction and industry damage on record, worth millions of dollars in lost revenue, the WTO ruling is cause for celebration as the next step in a process that may eventually eliminate the damaging effects of COOL to the Canadian cattle and hog industries.

But that celebration must be polite and measured, as is typical of Canadians renowned for their manners, because this country remains reliant on the U.S. as a major export market for livestock and meat. It would be far better to arrive at amicable solutions than to gloat and take an uncompromising stance.

We cannot forget that COOL remains in effect until the U.S. decides a course of action. And it must do something, based on trade rules as well as the fact that Mexico and 12 other WTO member countries joined the challenge as third parties.

Industry watchers say it is likely to appeal the ruling, so relief from COOL may still be months and even years away. If it appeals and loses, Canada will have the option of imposing tariffs on American products.

Or, the U.S. could change the rules surrounding COOL to make them acceptable under trade agreements.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the largest cattle group in the U.S., viewed the WTO ruling as proof that “COOL was not only a disservice to U.S. cattlemen and women but also contained far-reaching implications for two of the most important trade partners for U.S. agriculture.”

It urged the American government not to appeal, but instead to bring the U.S. into compliance with trade rules.

That important lobby group, plus the fact that the jobs of more than eight million Americans depend on trade with Canada, may carry some weight as the U.S. decides on tactics at a time when economic woes consume Americans.

For Canada, the trade dispute and COOL’s continuing damage amply demonstrate the need for this country to diversify its export markets. It is vital to the health of our livestock industries that provincial and national cattle organizations, along with provincial and federal governments, continue to develop more international markets and reduce dependence on our neighbours to the south.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD | COMMONS PASSES BILL

Wild day marks wheat board monopoly’s end in House of Commons NATIONAL VIEW

BARRY WILSON

N

ov. 28 was an odd and unique day on Parliament Hill, a day filled with emotion and anger, wild rhetoric and nostalgia and even the hint of potential conflict and violence.

And it was all about agriculture.

The decades-long House of Commons debate over the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly came to an end in an evening vote after an all-day debate.

Through the day, scores of farmers poured into Ottawa on both sides of the historic debate.

Conservative invitees — farmers who opposed the CWB monopoly and sometimes went to jail for their convictions and the children of antiCWB pioneers who died before they saw their dream realized — sat in the visitors’ gallery overlooking the floor of the Commons as Conservative speakers paid tribute to their fight, often emotionally.

On the other side were former wheat board directors, board supporters and National Farmers Union members who gathered outside a building at noon where federal and provincial agriculture ministers held a news conference to herald the new era about to unfold. As the ministers emerged, the protesters ran after

them booing and calling them liars.

They held a news conference to denounce what they called government dictatorial tactics to push the changes through the Commons in days. They also predicted economic devastation on the Prairies and the eventual end of supply management.

After an incident Nov. 23 when Manitoba farmer Dean Harder from Lowe Farm was taken out of the visitors’ gallery for holding protest signs and shouting pro-CWB comments at MPs, Hill security staff spent Nov. 28 nervous that the two sides would end up in the galler y together with unforeseen consequences.

Demonstrations from the gallery are not allowed.

There was a feeling of history in the making and a clear illustration of the continuing emotional and angry divide.

For anti-monopoly farmers, it was sweet. For their opponents, it was toxic.

Adding to the drama was wild rhetoric on the floor of the Commons.

Saskatchewan Conservative Tom Lukiwski likened it to a yoke being removed from prairie farmer necks.

Winnipeg New Democrat Pat Martin talked about the mansions of the robber barons in Winnipeg who made their money on the backs of farmers a century ago. Today’s CWB opponents were their modern agents, he charged.

Meanwhile, ministers who were supposed to be travelling were ordered to be in Ottawa for the vote.

Although little noticed by urban media (although protester signs and name-calling were magnets for television cameras), it was a remarkable day on Parliament Hill, the culmination of

a long debate. While it now goes to the Senate, the outcome is guaranteed.

There really hasn’t been a day like it since Nov. 22, 1983, when the Liberal government succeeded in getting a bill to end the Crow rate grain subsidy into law over strenuous opposition protests and then organized a triumphant evening reception in a historic parliamentary room where governorgeneral Ed Schreyer was to sign proclamation of the bill into effect.

The former Manitoba NDP premier agreed to sign the proclamation and some replicas, but he refused to attend the celebratory event. He supported the Crow and was married to the daughter of a Manitoba grain farmer.

His absence deflated the event.

On Nov. 28, there was no deflating the Conservative sense of victory and triumph. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

& OPEN FORUM ETHANOL | FOOD OVER FUEL

AGRIBITION | ANGUS SALE

Grow grain to feed the world, not fuel it

Agribition sale gets rookie sold on auctions

BY GIB DRURY

Burning ethanol that is derived from edible grains in our cars and trucks is a harebrained, cockamamie and turkey of an idea.

Despite the fact that close to onequarter of the human population is malnourished and underfed, we continue to allow nourishing grain to be distilled into alcohol and poured in the tanks of our automobiles.

Many of those automobiles are driven by another quarter of the world’s population, who are malnourished and overfed to the point of obesity.

In the United States, more than half of the massive corn crop is turned into ethanol.

It’s not exactly breaking news that ethanol will never be the great environmentally friendly solution to our fuel crisis it was once hoped to be.

In 2005, a study from ecologists at Cornell University said there is “no energy benefit to using plant biomass for liquid fuel.”

In other words, you need to use more energy when making plants such as corn into gasoline than you get out of it. The study pointed out that corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

If you just eat that corn and get down to work, you don’t waste any energy at all.

If we collectively had half a brain in our heads, we’d turn every kernel of grain into human or livestock feed.

We would make it a humanitarian and animal welfare right to receive a balanced and nutritious diet that meets the daily needs of all living things on this planet. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

Then there would be no undernourished people or domesticated livestock anymore. Instead, you would have a well-nourished and potentially productive workforce as well as an abundance of healthy, useful animals.

This trend of feeding our cars rather than our citizens is having a major impact on agriculture and on its backbone: the farmers who produce the grain.

When farmers were producing food rather than fuel, their conscience guided them to grow only healthful, wholesome grain using traditional, time-honoured methods.

Now that their grain is only going to be used to power an engine, why should they care how it is grown or what its nutritive value might be?

The only criterion for production decisions is what will produce the maximum yield?

That means anything that boosts production is acceptable and even sought after. Previous considerations such as soil degradation, pollution runoff, habitat destruction and species protection all become irrelevant.

Governments at all levels share in the responsibility to stop this shortsighted practice of burning edible

feed grain.

They could do this by showing just a little courage in their legislation.

Each level must be tasked with offering countervailing incentives to those who grow the grain so that it is used as a food and feed source.

If agriculture is still about taking care of the land and the people who live on it, farmers should be encouraged to grow food for living things and not for cars and trucks.

The future in farm equipment may be electric HURSH ON AG

ractors, combines and high clearance sprayers may be powered by electricity in the foreseeable future.

Now, before you conjure up images of a massive golf cart pulling an air drill, let me hasten to explain that this refers to diesel-powered electricity.

Agritechnica, the largest farm equipment show in the world, recently wrapped up in Hanover, Germany. Many other farm innovations captured the limelight.

The gold award winning innovation was Fendt’s Guide Connect. The concept is simple: two outfits working in the field with only one operator. It is a bit eerie seeing the video — how the second tractor and imple-

ment follows the lead tractor and implement without a person in the second tractor cab.

Fendt officials say their plan is to have the first commercial system running by late 2012. Germany will see the first commercial release and the system will start out in the largest Fendt tractors.

With the technology already available, this new development isn’t a big surprise. It’s an intermediate step to the remote control that’s long been touted and removes many of the safety and liability issues that arise when you try to operate machines without direct human supervision.

Another Agritechnica display that caught my eye, although it didn’t win any innovation awards, was from Lykketronic of Denmark. It’s promoting web-based monitor and control systems for sprayers and other equipment.

You can walk around the sprayer checking nozzles by turning them on and off with your smart phone. If you have a problem, a service technician can diagnose it by logging onto the control panel of your machine

through the web. If you want to see a training video on an aspect of your sprayer, you can pull it up right away.

All you need is a standard smart phone. You don’t need an app, just a web browser. You’re using technology already developed.

The electronics world likes to talk about isobus, whereby the electronics of the various makes and models of equipment have a common communications format. If this approach from Lykketronic catches on, perhaps isobus would become less important. The company isn’t selling to producers. It wants to catch the eye of equipment manufacturers.

Getting back to diesel-electric, it was really only presented on one medium-sized Fendt tractor, where a front power take-off connected to an electrical generator. Cables from the generator carried the power to large electric motors running a rotor tiller at the back of the machine.

As Wolfgang Hager of Sensor-Technik in Germany explained, this retrofitted tractor is not the future. To be viable, the electrical generator needs to be built into the diesel engine. In

that configuration, electric power becomes efficient.

Hydraulic power loses a lot of its efficiency as oil is pumped through hoses and motors. Even the mechanical linkage used through a transmission to turn drive wheels has efficiency losses. Sensor-Technik envisions a time when all of a tractor or combine’s functions will be electric.

More efficient power generation means less diesel fuel. And of course, electric power can be easily finetuned to meet exacting needs. It’s a flexible power source.

How quickly might all of this happen?

Hager claims the entire farm equipment industry is working on the concept. Part of that is designing standards, such as which voltage to use.

He is promising major developments on display at the next Agritechnica in 2013 and he predicts commercially available equipment in the next six or eight years.

may have found a new hobby: auctions.

It’s not that I have the money to actually participate, but just being there must be the best entertainment value on the planet.

I hadn’t been to an auction for years, and the Angus sale at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina last week made me wonder why.

I was sitting on the main floor with Western Producer reporters Karen Briere and Barbara Duckworth, watching the beautiful, sleek Angus animals paraded out one, two and even five at a time.

The main auctioneer’s patter was going a mile a minute, while the four on the floor were so much fun to watch. They are so animated, while the bidders in the crowd, by contrast, are so cool, announcing their bids with a waggle of a finger.

The highlight was definitely the young bull that caused major interest in the crowd.

Fifty-eight, the auctioneer cried part way through the bidding. Do I hear 62? I have 62… I have 65… do I hear 67?

Sold, for $67,000.

Thousand? Did he misspeak? Most of the animals at auction were selling for between $3,500 and $10,000. But nope, that young bull sold for 67 grand for a half interest.

I was amazed, but for confirmation I turned to the experts, to find Karen and Barb looking at each other with their eyebrows raised. They know their livestock, and I could tell by their faces that this was a big deal sale. Karen tweeted the news immediately. There’s the reporting of today — insta-news.

The best part of this experience was learning on the ground from the Producer’s journalists, who know what they are seeing and hearing and how to report on it. (See Barb’s story on the breeders in this edition.)

Anyway, I think I’m hooked. That auction was just way too much fun.

It turned out to be a great day at Agribition and afterward.

That evening I attended the premier’s Agribition reception in the rotunda at the legislature, populated by a who’s who collection of important folks in government and agriculture.

The festivities included honouring long-time Agribition sponsors, and we were honoured to receive a plaque that night, in return for 35 years of being at Agribition. I think that makes the WP the longest-serving exhibitor in Agribition history.

For 68 years, western Canadian farmers have been imprisoned by the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board.

On Oct. 12, 1943, to assist Europe during World War II, Canada committed to supplying our allies with cheap wheat by making it mandatory for all western Canadian farmers to sell all wheat and barley to the CWB. This is how the monopoly of the CWB was created. There was no plebiscite held.

The supporters of the CWB monopoly believe the government

of Canada should hold a plebiscite before Bill C-18 is enacted. I do not believe we should have to vote for freedom unless the C in CWB stands for Cuba.

I would like to let you know how the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly affects western farmers. The prices that I will be quoting are all posted prices as of Oct. 26, 2011.

The price a farmer would receive at a local southern Alberta grain elevator for No. 1 Durum 13 percent protein is $4.34 per bushel. This is paid upon delivery.

Then, by Jan. 1, 2013, or some 14 months later, the farmer would have the possibility of receiving another $5.12 per bu. This $5.12 is not a guar-

anteed price but only an estimate anywhere from zero to 110 percent of this amount. The farmer can only deliver up to 20 percent of the current crop and may have to hold the rest until August of next year.

That same durum delivered to a local northern Montana grain elevator would receive $11.50 per bu. upon delivery and the farmer would be allowed to deliver as much as he sees fit.

The current system does not work and Canada finally has a government that is trying to get rid of this dysfunctional system.

I would like to thank the government of Canada for taking steps toward marketing freedom for westaccess=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

STATE OF TYRANNY To the Editor: The government of prime minister Stephen Harper has the right to amend legislation. As the present legislation exists, however, it has an obligation, a duty and a responsibility to deal with it first.

This must be carried out appropriately and according to the laws of our country.

To do otherwise, democracy in Canada will have shamefully become morphed into a state of tyranny.

Is this democracy or is this dictatorship?

About the Canadian Wheat Board, my MP says they don’t want to destroy the most needed tool western farmers have, just change it like they have in Ontario. What do they need a board for — to sell corn, cabbage, carrots?

It is not the same as what we need here. Sure, give contracts to the ones who feel they are smarter than the CWB. The others, give them contracts too so the board can plan on what’s coming to make their deals.

The Conservatives are supposed to be transparent. Well, can they tell us exactly what the plans are? One paper says it will appoint five directors to oversee the operations for five years.

After that, what? If it doesn’t work, they plan to give it back to the grain producers. Now tell me, what is going on?

I would like to respond to a column

by Kevin Hursh in the Western Producer on Sept. 29.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Kevin, I know him personally and have had the opportunity to work with him on a number of occasions. I was a little disappointed that he felt the need to target a certain cultural demographic to make a point.

The sentence in the article on Hutterite land acquisitions serves no

OPINION purpose, other than to perpetuate a stereotype.

Hutterites, along with the rest of mainstream society that has roots in agriculture, will always be in the market for land. Primary agriculture is still the best fit to the Hutterite social structure. They have not as yet found another occupation that provides them with the same comfort level, in terms of preservation of cultural integrity and long-term sustainability.

In 2010, Saskatchewan recognized 525 families with a Century Family Farm Award. Since 1981, over 4,500 families have been so honoured.

The Hutterites came to Alberta around 1918 and to Saskatchewan in the mid-1950s, so we still have some way to go in terms of hanging onto our land.

Hutterite land ownership should not be compared to the black hole of

urbanization where thousands of acres are paved over every year, forever lost to food production. In a lot of cases, the land acquired by the Hutterites becomes more productive, due to cutting-edge technology and farming practices.

I know Kevin had no intention of disrespecting a culture, but that’s the trouble with journalistic license.

Sometimes it can be taken the wrong way.

IRRIGATION COMPROMISE To the Editor: Re: Does prairie prevail over politics, potatoes? By Lorne Fitch, Nov. 3 WP.

It might be interesting to note the reference to the land in question as growing only potatoes shows the uneducated comments of the writer.

Under the current commercial growing of potatoes for companies like Frito Lay, McCain Foods or Old Dutch, contracts require up to a fiveyear crop rotation. The norm suggested is four years, meaning you can only grow a crop of potatoes once every four years. An ideal crop rotation is potatoes, sugar beets, grain and then canola.

Because of the similarity of hosts for insect and disease control, rotations for sugar beets and canola are limited. In this case, the proposal is to develop a three-year static crop such as irrigated pasture or alfalfa.

Of course irrigation and high heat units are required for all of these high return crops. Under these current practices for crop production,

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 1, 2011

expansion for irrigated land is required.

Agriculture and value-added production is second only to oil and gas revenues in Alberta. The growth of Lethbridge was and is mainly due to it being a service center to agriculture.

Southern Alberta has missed the current economic depression mainly due to the irrigated crops and agricultural crops in general. Also, take note that the college and university came after the growth of the valueadded processors were being established.

Sugar factories, potato processing plants, vegetable processing plants, canola (both seed and oil) processing plants, alfalfa plants, beef and pork plants are all value-added industries that have added to the e c o n o m i c g row t h o f s o u t h e r n Alberta.

Irrigated pasture of 135 acres would graze 100 cows and calves where native dry land pasture would require the equivalent of 8,700 acres.

The food chain for wildlife, including burrowing owls and even the endangered leopard frog, are enhanced by irrigation land development.

During a normal drought in southern Alberta, wildlife become nearly extinct on these public lands. Only a f ter a dro u ght do es th e wo rd “endangered species” become headlines. … Surely there must be a compromise between environmental concerns, politicians, and farmers capable of developing good classified farmlands for the development of 50,000 acres … of good irrigated farmland.…

here were two distinct divisions in the local ministerial two decades ago.

Clergy participants gave halfhearted support to working together, even though all agreed we needed to respect each other where we differed. But winds of change have blown through the community in those 20 years. Denominations working together have become a much more positive experience.

I’ve had an opportunity to see this close up. The more evangelical ministers have always held a Thursday morning prayer group. They meet for an hour to chat, name issues of concern and pray. Then everyone goes for lunch.

I asked if I could join them. I said I thought there was much I could learn from them, and there were probably other things I had to offer. Also, I was entering a situation where none of their denominations recognized ordained women.

Our prayer gathering has become a highlight of my week. It is interesting to see the variety of interests and concerns represented by the group.

Gradually, too, they acknowledge at times they may have over-looked the woman’s point of view.

Our prayers have become more inclusive of the whole community: seeking ways by which we can become a meaningful presence to the youth, the street folk, the faithful and to our grow ing number of seniors. And we pray for the wellbeing of each other, that we might be faithful and competent leaders.

This kind of inter-denominational outreach is important for ourselves as faith leaders and for the communities we serve. True dialogue comes when we expose our understandings and doubts and open ourselves to deeper gospel insights. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

GRAIN SYMPOSIUM | AUSTRALIAN WHEAT BOARD

Lessons suggested from Aussie experience

Agronomy voice silenced in West

Eliminating the single desk | Canadian and Australian grain marketing plans are not completely comparable because of different competition laws, but Australian grain industry leader says Canada Memorial established for canola council V-P can still learn from his country’s experience

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

Australia and Canada don’t share the same experiences in their efforts to eliminate single desk grain marketing, says an Australian grain industry leader.

“It would be simplistic at best to compare the two situations completely,” Geoff Honey told a Canadian grain symposium in Ottawa Nov. 22.

However, he said there are lessons to be learned.

The Australian Wheat Board lost its monopoly and government backing in 2008 after more than a decade of debate and a scandal involving sales to Iraq.

The final changes to complete the process will happen in the next several years, but the export market is now open, said Honey, chief executive officer of Grain Trade Australia.

In its place, industry has made arrangements for exports, grading and grain collection.

The single desk has been replaced by 25 accredited exporters and Honey said the industry is thriving with record production and exports last year and strong profits throughout the chain.

In an interview, Honey said the Canadian and Australian plans are not entirely comparable because the Australian government and its competition laws make certain that all grain exporters, including AWB Ltd., have access to all existing port storage facilities.

And at its demise, the AWB owned some system assets, unlike the CWB. However, he said there’s much for Canada to learn from the Australian experience.

“Commercial forces stepped up and while it wasn’t 100 percent, it was largely successful,” he said. “In the Australian experience, access to storage and port facility for all was critical.”

Foreign grain companies, including Canada’s Viterra, have invested in the Australian system in recent years, and there has been an “incredible amalgamation of ownership.”

Critics have cited the Australian example during debate over the Canadian government decision to end the CWB monopoly, saying farmers have lost control, multinationals have taken over and farmer returns have fallen.

Honey said the evidence is that with more competition for grain, farmer returns have increased, as

has acreage.

However, in his speech, he conceded that the Australian government moved too quickly to abandon a public role in determining grades and varieties, leaving it to industry specifications to determine what grain is grown for the system.

He said the government will backtrack a bit on that.

Honey had some advice for farmers who oppose loss of the marketing monopoly: they do themselves no favours by boycotting the process of designing the new system.

In Australia, farmers in New South Wales and Western Australia states who grew mainly for export and supported the AWB monopoly opposed the government plan.

“As far as the farmers were concerned, they would fight it to the death,” he said. “And they did.”

Without farmers at the table to argue for the industry, the government moved forward and offered just $9.37 million over three years in transition funding.

By contrast, sugar and dairy farmers received hundreds of millions of dollars in transition money when they lost their regulated system.

“The government got off incredibly

lightly in paying for grain deregulation because the producers weren’t there to make the case for a better deal,” he said.

“I would say the industry has just moved on and those farmers who fought it have no choice but to adapt, and they will,” he said.

“It is evolving but I would say there is an understanding that for the system to succeed, everybody has to do well and I think that’s what’s happening.”

Well-known agronomist Denise Maurice died suddenly Nov. 23.

Maurice developed and delivered production information for Canadian farmers, beginning in the early 1980s with Alberta Agriculture when she established a weed herbicide resistance program and first resistance studies in the province.

She had earlier obtained her bachelors and masters degrees in plant science at the University of Manitoba.

She moved to Westco Fertilizers in 1995, where she set up its extension program and began developing the Certified Crop Advisor training program in integrated pest management.

Maurice helped create computer software tools for farmers when establishing thresholds for crop pests and provided scouting information to growers.

A f t e r We s t c o, s h e m o v e d t o Agricore United in Winnipeg as the company’s crop protection technical manager and later to Viterra when the two grain companies merged.

Maurice returned to her extension and research roots when she joined the Canola Council of Canada in 2009 as its vice-president of crop production, leading a team of agronomists and communications staff.

“The improved economy for production means Canadian farmers are really able to invest in their crops, maximizing yields through improvements in (agronomic) practices and see the results in their businesses,” she said in an interview earlier this year.

“With the improved genetics and tools that they’re going to have at their disposal in the coming decade, it’s a very exciting time to be in prairie agriculture.”

She was a longtime member of the Canadian Weed Science Society and served as its president in 2005. Two years later, she was recognized by the Weed Science Society of America with an Outstanding Industry Member Award.

U.S. FARM BILL | GUARANTEED REVENUE PROPOSAL

TRACEABILITY | NEW MONEY

Canadian farmers warned of possible U.S. changes

Livestock traceability gets boost in funding

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian farmers dodged a bullet when a U.S. congressional committee could not agree on how to trim $1.5 trillion in U.S. debt over the next 10 years, says an agricultural economist.

Leaders of the U.S. House and Senate agriculture committees had drafted a farm bill that would have become part of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction’s debt reduction package.

Included in that bill was a proposal to replace the direct subsidy payment program with a shallow loss guaranteed revenue program.

Vincent Smith, an agricultural economist at Montana State University, said that would be a move from a World Trade Organization friendly program to a non-compliant, production-distorting incentive.

“Canadian farmers are never going to be happy with programs that stimulate agricultural production in the U.S., especially for a commodity like wheat,” he said.

The agriculture committee leaders claim their proposal would cut agriculture spending by $23 billion over the next 10 years, including $5 billion in direct payments.

However, Smith said the shallow loss program, which is a bolstered version of the existing Average Crop Revenue Election program, could cost U.S. taxpayers more money in the long run because revenue guarantees would be based on recent prices, which have been at or near historical highs.

He could see a “nightmare scenario” unfolding if Congress decided to eliminate the ethanol mandate, which is a real possibility.

Corn prices would plummet but U.S. growers would be shielded from the market by the proposed shallow loss program.

That would be a double-whammy for Canadian growers. The demise of the ethanol mandate and subsequent drop in global grain prices would have a huge impact on their pocketbooks, but their American counterparts would continue growing corn, driving prices down further.

Smith said the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates corn prices would plummet by $1 to $1.50 per bushel, but he thinks the losses could be more profound. He predicted that corn would trade in the range of $3 to $3.75 per bu. Wheat prices would also tank.

He figures that would trigger about $9 billion per year in shallow loss payments to U.S. wheat and corn farmers for at least a couple of years. He doesn’t believe that is sound policy.

“By guaranteeing revenues, you’re weakening the incentives for farmers to innovate, reduce costs and be creative. Effectively over time you create a moribund industry when you do that sort of thing,” he said.

“Where in the world does it say that a farm business should face no risk?”

Smith said his nightmare scenario could easily become reality.

“There is really a push within Congress to move away from the ethanol mandate,” he said.

The push could become a shove if the Republicans win the White access=subscriber section=news,none,none

House and the Senate during next year’s elections or if they control both the House and the Senate.

He also believes there is a good chance that the shallow loss proposal or something similar could make it into the 2012 farm bill, which will be formulated in the coming months now that it is no longer part of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction process.

However, everything is up in the air now that policymakers have gone back to the drawing board. The only thing he can say for certain is that the $5 billion direct payment program is likely on its way out.

A well-functioning livestock traceability system is critical to opening and re-opening markets, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said last week.

Against the backdrop of Canadian Western Agribition, he announced $410,000 for projects through the Livestock Auction Traceability Initiative.

“There’s just no doubt about it,” he said. “Traceability is opening doors and walls on the world stage.”

Consumers want to know more about the origins of their food, and

Canadian producers need a system to help them deal efficiently with any animal health issues, Ritz said.

The money will support 23 projects, including the purchase and installation of equipment and corral modification at Lone Spruce Developments in Two Hills, Alta.

He said 90 percent of the industry is now part of the traceability system.

“Now it’s a matter of making sure we have a database that’s up to the job of collecting that information and having it available at the touch of a button,” he said.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | OVERHAUL

Feds expected to focus on grain commission Grain commission reform | Proposals include an end to the user fee freeze and a change to governance structure

BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU

The next major agricultural reform plan on the government’s agenda will be an overhaul of the Canadian Grain Commission, predicts a CGC official.

It will include a $50 million hike in user fees to be paid by farmers and the industry for commission services that now come for free or at user fee rates that have been frozen for more than a decade.

The government has hinted the increased fees could be phased in

over years because of the size and impact on the industry of the fee hike.

Assistant chief commission Jim Smolik said all the signals from Ottawa are that an attempt to modernize the CGC is imminent.

“I am speculating, but in my own opinion, I think changes to the act will happen,” he said after a speech to a Canada Grains Council-organized grain symposium in Ottawa Nov. 23.

“Once the (Canadian) Wheat Board file is finally settled, I think the government will want to act quickly.”

He said that based on consultations with the industry and on government

proposals in a bill that did not make it through an earlier minority Parliament, the new bill likely will include: • an end to the fee freeze imposed in the 1990s that has seen the CGC chronically underfunded and requiring an annual injection of funds from the government to balance its budget • an end to mandatory inspection and weighing of inward bound grain that moves between facilities owned by the same company “Inspection on grain going from Viterra to Viterra facilities is an unnecessary cost, a cost we’re add-

ing that really should be handled internally” • the ability of industry players to use “third party service providers” that could offer services that CGC will be withdrawing or charging for.

The CGC still would arbitrate any dispute between industry players and a third party service provider Smolik said there also has been debate about changing the governance structure of the grain commission to move from a threecommissioner model to a more modern structure that could include a president and chief exec-

utive officer.

However, he said the government has not signalled a decision on the issue, and industry representatives will be consulted about the appropriate model. The positions of assistant grain commissioners, located as contact staff in various provinces, already have been eliminated.

If the government does decide to resurrect grain commission reform legislation, it likely would come during the winter session after Parliament returns from its Christmas break Jan. 30. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

A state of emergency was in effect in the County of Lethbridge Nov. 28 after a grass fire burned several hundred acres of land and threatened the outskirts of Lethbridge and the town of Coalhurst the previous day.

The fire started Nov.27 on the Blood Indian Reserve west of Lethbridge and was whipped by winds ranging from 120 to 140 km/h. Cause of the blaze was unknown at press time and is under investigation.

About 100 county residents were evacuated from their homes near Coalhurst, Alta., before the fire was brought under control shortly after 8 p.m., when winds abated.

Residents were allowed to return home around noon Nov. 28, while fire and electrical crews continued to deal with downed power lines and hot spots.

Grass fires also raged in the County of Warner in areas near New Dayton and Stirling. As of Nov. 28, fire crews were still extinguishing hot spots.

An update on fire status and damage was scheduled late in the day Nov.28 after Western Producer deadlines.

Fence damage was reported but no farm buildings or livestock were thought to be lost as of press time.

“We are fortunate that this emergency was handled in a timely manner,” said County of Lethbridge reeve Lorne Hickey.

“We want to thank our police and fire crews for their hard work and dedication and the community for their patience and understanding.”

Hickey said no homes were lost in the fire but some corrals and outbuildings burned.

Fire crews from several towns surrounding Lethbridge responded to the blaze. They were hampered by strong winds that affected much of southern Alberta.

Wind damage was reported from Calgary to High River, Claresholm, Pincher Creek, Fort Macleod, Coalhurst and Lethbridge.

Trucks were warned Nov. 27 to stay off north-south highways in the region, but several were overturned in area ditches because of strong winds.

WIND ENERGY | FERTILIZER

U.S. firm’s wind powered fertilizer plant still up in the air

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Waiting for parts to arrive is a normal occurrence in the agriculture business.

Nonetheless, leaders of a University of Minnesota project have demonstrated exceptional patience over

the last 14 months.

That’s how long they have been waiting for a part, albeit a unique part, needed to turn wind into fertilizer.

Mike Reese and his fellow scientists at the University of Minnesota’s West Central Research and Outreach Center in Morris, Minn., have been working on a pilot plant for the

last two years that will use power from a wind turbine to produce anhydrous ammonia.

The plant was ready to go last fall except for one key detail, said Reese, renewable energy director at the centre.

“In the summer of 2010, we had all the components of the pilot plant …

including an electrolyzer that produces hydrogen from water and a nitrogen gas generation system so we could produce nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas,” he said. “The final component, the reactor skid, where we take the hydrogen and nitrogen gas and combine them… (we’re) still waiting on that component.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

For the

Ultimate

Burndown.

The reactor skid should show up by January if all goes well, and the pilot plant could be producing anhydrous from wind energy before the end of the winter.

Reese said the plant will be the only one of its kind in the world, but the technology isn’t new. Electricity from hydroelectric dams was used in the early 1900s to produce fertilizer, but the method was abandoned when engineers found it was cheaper to make it from natural gas.

According to the website hydroworld.com, the key difference between the two processes is the method of producing hydrogen: electrolysis uses an electric current to split water into hydrogen and oxygen while the more common process converts natural gas into hydrogen.

The U of M project is generating buzz in the media and the renewable energy sector. Reese has received inquiries from Great Britain, Australia, South America and Europe.

“We have an academic from Sweden that won a royal prize from the king of Sweden. She chose … our facility to do her research.”

The university has a 1.75 megawatt wind turbine at Morris, but the p i l o t a n h y d ro u s p l a n t , w h i c h requires 80 to 90 kilowatts of power, will use only 10 per cent of the turbine’s power.

However, Reese said wind power isn’t reliable and supplemental energy from the grid will be required.

“It all comes down to economics.

You can use wind but if you have an opportunity to keep your plant running when there’s no wind with cheap (off peak) power, that’s what you do.”

Reese is confident the cost will be economically viable.

“We have our ideas on that, but we need to run our pilot plant to get to those numbers. We wouldn’t be doing it if it was completely out of the ballpark.”

Dan Mazier, who farms north of Brandon, visited the Minnesota research centre last year to learn about the wind-to-anhydrous project. He has also heard about a project in Iowa called Freedom Fertilizer, led by producer Steve Gruhn, who is attempting to convert wind into anhydrous ammonia.

“It’s amazing. He (Gruhn) is talking about $250 to $300 a tonne (for production cost),” Mazier said.

If those estimates are accurate, it would allow farmers in the United States and Canada to gain leverage with the handful of companies that dominate the North American fertilizer trade, Mazier said.

“Even if you add on the extra tanks and storage … and double that, it’s $500 a tonne,” Mazier said. “It’s still half of what we’re paying today…. It would send an enormous signal to the manufacturers.”

Reese said this technology also represents an opportunity for Minnesota to strengthen its economy.

“Right now, the market for anhydrous ammonia in Minnesota is about $400 million. For a state that doesn’t have any natural gas, those dollars are going out of our economy.”

As well, using wind energy to produce fertilizer eliminates the need for power lines to carry the electricity to cities.

“It seems like kind of a no-brainer to me,” he told the Associated Press.

Kehler Stauffer Water

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Awareness

by Darlene Polachic

;>A;F H 8v<<;F

May 16, 2000 - November 17, 2006

DROWNING IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 15, North American statistics show. It is further estimated that for each childhood drowning, there are four children hospitalized for near-drowning. In a farm setting, drowning rates are three times higher than in urban settings. Unfortunately, the victim is very often six years old or younger.

On November 17, 2006, Kehler Stauffer became one of those statistics.

Sadly, the six-year-old fell through ice on the farm dugout -- just 300 feet from the family home -- and drowned.

There is no way to ‘get over’ a tragedy like this, but Kehler’s parents, Stacey and Michel Stauffer, are determined to bring something positive out of their terrible loss. Their goal is to make families aware of safety on the farm, particularly in the area of water safety, so that no other family has to go through what they did.

Friends of the Stauffers from the Pincher Creek community and across Canada have rallied round and formed the Kehler Stauffer Water Awareness program which is aimed at taking the subject of water safety on farms into the homes of rural families.

Through the program, the Stauffers inform and remind families of the deliberate measures they can take to keep their children safe around water. While simply building a fence around a dugout or pond may seem like the obvious answer, it isn’t always. The best strategy, Michel says, is to make sure your children know the hazards and the dangers associated with them.

safety walk-about. This involves the adults carefully identifying and assessing the potential hazards around the yard and surrounding area where the children might be drawn to explore. Then do the walk-about as a family.

Have the children identify what they see as potential risks, then point out the hazards the children have missed, especially those involving water.Identify the designated play areas on your farm or ranch. Discuss limits, hazards, required safety equipment and safety procedures.

Water safety agencies recommend taking precautionary measures to establish a ‘rescue post’ at each water hazard so that rescue equipment is always within reach. This could be as simple as putting a post in the ground to hold a personal flotation device, a long pole, a buoy and a rope.

Everyone who is allowed access to a farm pond or dugout should take swimming lessons and learn CPR. Enforce the buddy system when older children play in or near water hazards. Teach them never to swim alone.

Though the frozen farm pond or dugout has been a traditional place for winter fun for generations, the only really safe ice is the ice you stay off. Before allowing children of any age to play on frozen bodies of water, make sure the ice is smooth, and at least 10 centimetres (four inches) thick.

Being a statistic is not easy to accept or to overcome.

The organization Farm Safety 4 Just Kids (www.fs4jk.org) suggests there are a number of water-related hazards for children on farms and ranches.

The group says childhood drownings in rural venues most often occur in non-pool settings like natural bodies of water, irrigation canals, dugouts, streams and rivers. Other danger spots are sewage lagoons and manure pits. Wells and cisterns should always be safely covered; if abandoned, fill them in.

Full supervision is essential at all times for very small children when they are around water, especially near canals, ponds, streams, or lagoons.

One of the safety strategies the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture recommends for farm parents is a farm

Teach children to watch for signs of weak ice like open spots of water on the ice, cracks, or items sticking through the ice. Insist they never

walk on the ice alone.

Make sure your children understand and practice proper ice safety. If they hear ice cracking, they should lie down on the ice immediately and crawl or roll back to the edge.

If someone falls through the ice, yell for help and keep on yelling. Never run up to the edge of the ice hole. If the person in the water is close enough to shore, try reaching out to them with a stick or a branch, or the ‘reaching pole’ if a rescue station has been installed.

Being a statistic is not easy to accept or to overcome. Just ask the Stauffers.

“Growing up on the ranch or farm is a wonderful experience,” Stacey and Michel say. “There’s so much to do and explore right in your own backyard, but unfortunately, home has hazards and temptations, too--especially for kids. Please educate your children and teach them to play safe.”

MF GLOBAL | BANKRUPTCY

ICE Canada suffers no problems

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The collapse of a worldwide futures commission merchant was a nightmare for the world’s commodity exchanges, including Winnipeg’s.

But after a few weeks of clean-up and emergency action, the MF Global mess is mostly gone and the exchange system appears to have no lasting damage.

“There was no systemic failure,” said Brad Vannan, ICE Futures Canada’s chief executive officer.

“MF Global’s problems didn’t become a contagion that hurt other clearing participants in the markets, and I think that speaks to how robust the clearinghouses were. They were well-margined going into the event and they were able to do their jobs and they performed in the way they were expected to perform.”

Vannan said Canadian subsidiary MF Global Canada was a significant user of the exchange. It was also one of 10 members of the ICE Canada clearinghouse, which ensures that margin and money are properly flowing between exchange users as their various futures positions change.

A clearinghouse ensures that all transactions are completed and the money is where it’s supposed to be so that problems do not arise.

Having a member of the financial safety net fail sends chills through the exchange world.

“The failure of a major clearinghouse participant is probably every market’s major fear,” said Vannan.

However, the other members of the clearinghouse took on the task of moving accounts and margin from MF Global to new futures commission merchants.

Vannan encouraged farmers who had accounts with MF Global to visit the website of KPMG, which is overseeing the bankruptcy as trustee.

He said it is important to look at the Ca na d i a n i n f o r mat i o n o n t h e website because MF Global failed in several countries and each situation is being resolved differently, according to national rules.

Vannan believes the MF Global collapse affected canola futures trade for a few days while account holders with MF Global weren’t able to get into the market.

However, November 2011 appears to have slightly more volume overall than November 2010, so the interruption was likely small and temporary.

T h e re s i l i e n c y o f t h e p u b l i c exchanges is a relief to traders after the crisis of 2008, which occurred in the non-public over-the-counter derivatives market after Lehman Brothers failed, setting off a chain reaction as complex, secret transactions fell apart and caused massive financial problems and panic.

Vannan said the public commodity markets appear to be well-designed to handle shocks and survived this one without too much problem.

“It’s like a house fire,” said Vannan.

ing a facility at the old Domtar pulp mill site in Prince Albert, Sask., which a senior Shell official had said would be built in two stages: an 80 to 90 million litre plant and a later expansion that would increase production to 150 to 160 million litres annually.

However, that project was scrapped when Iogen couldn’t come to terms with Domtar on buying the out-ofcommission pulp mill.

Portage la Prairie, Man., is the latest site being considered for what could be Canada’s first cellulose ethanol plant.

“We found a really nice straw basin just like we found in Saskatchewan, but it was a better location in terms of logistics and other things,” said Shell spokesperson Jeff Gabert.

The company has been contracting wheat and oat straw with area growers, but that doesn’t mean the project is a go.

“It’s very early stages and we want to be very clear on that because we don’t want to raise the expectations of anybody,” said Gabert.

The size of the operation is yet to be determined, but he said a rough estimate would be a 40 million litre plant.

Another big change in the project is who will own the plant. It was originally going to be an Iogen facility with financial backing from Shell, but that is no longer the case.

“We’re using Iogen technology, but this will be a 100 percent Shell project. For us that seemed the appropriate way to go moving into the future,” said Gabert.

Shell made that decision following the failed Domtar project, which didn’t proceed at an acceptable pace for the oil company.

Iogen spokesperson Lisa Hanke said the project team decided her company’s expertise is as a technology provider, while Shell’s is building projects.

“It went from being Iogen led to Shell led,” she said.

Shell is talking to people in the Portage la Prairie area about what it has dubbed the Solstice project.

Those consultations are part of a broader environmental impact assessment the province requires.

Gabert said the company will hold public open house meetings next spring to gather input on the project and hopes to make an environmental impact assessment submission next fall. It would take another two years to build the plant once the company receives a permit from the province.

Shell has identified an alternative community in Manitoba if the Portage la Prairie location falls through.

Iogen has talked about building a cellulose ethanol plant for more than a decade, yet the partners are still contemplating a location for the facility.

Gabert said that is not an unusual time frame for such a groundbreaking technology. The difference is that the Iogen project has been in the media spotlight, while most other technologies are developed behind the scenes.

“I don’t think the amount of time that it has taken surprised anybody within industry or within the project teams. It’s really just the nature of how these things go,” he said.

Arctic weather phenomenon to blame for toque weather Analysts predict colder than normal winter

access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Canadian weather is expected to be colder than usual this winter, although conditions haven’t been too bad this fall. Strong chinook winds in southern Alberta have kept high pastures clear of snow for cattle kept on open ranges. This herd was spotted near Chain Lakes south of Longview. | WENDY DUDLEY PHOTO North Pole. If that pattern weakens and the pressure difference between the two latitudes decreases, air will seep out of the Arctic, causing cold winters in eastern North America and Western Europe.

Arctic oscillation certainly affects winter weather in North America, said David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, especially temperatures in Eastern Canada.

Viterra’s extensive elevator netwo rk, coupled with access to interna tional food processing companies, provides year round market opportunities . It’s what growers need to succeed. See you r Viterra facilityy today or visitt vvite itterra.ca ca.

Phillips said climatologists don’t really understand how Arctic oscillation interacts with more familiar weather patterns such as El Nino or La Nina.

“There is some linkage between the two (El Nino or La Nina and the Arctic oscillation), but what that is, is not well known,” said Phillips. “But as far as the West, it is principally the La Nina situation which allows the Arctic air to come unrestricted across the

heart of North America.”

For example, a La Nina, defined as colder than usual water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the equator, should bring icy temperatures to Western Canada this winter.

“The flavour and personality of the winter, really from Vancouver Island right across the country, is looking like it is going to be colder than normal.”

ACCESS

Environment Canada is predicting a colder than usual winter for most of the country this year.

Whatever happened to global warming?

Daniel Bezte, a teacher by trade who has a degree in geography specializing in climatology, says it is possible to have colder winters in parts of the globe and still have global warming.

Bezte, who spoke at an Outstanding Young Farmers national conference in Brandon in November, said a phenomenon called the Arctic dipole, which has developed over the Arctic the last several years, might be responsible for recent cold winters in parts of North America.

Normally in the Arctic, there is low pressure in the upper atmosphere and high pressure closer to the Earth because cold air sinks, Bezte said. “(But) that pattern has been breaking down periodically over the winter. We’ve seen those areas of low pressure move further south,” he said.

“One off the west coast and one toward the east coast of North America.”

High pressure is developing over the Arctic as part of the dipole phenomenon, which Bezte said “opens

up the door in the Arctic” allowing cold air to flow south.

“Especially in the east coast (of North America),” he said.

“Everybody’s going ‘global warming? But look at all this cold and snow.’

Part of that is this strange weather pattern called the Arctic dipole.”

While Arctic dipoles have developed for months at a time during the last decade, meteorologist Jeff Masters said the air pattern alters summer temperatures rather than winter.

“The most important impact it has is on summer weather because it allows a lot of warm, southerly airflow into the Arctic … which enables much more ice melting to occur than would normally occur,” said Masters, director of meteorology for the Weather Underground, a weather service in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Masters said a weather pattern called the Arctic oscillation has a more significant influence on winter weather in North America.

On its website, NASA describes Arctic oscillation as the difference between air pressure at 45 degrees north, which is approximately Montreal, and air pressure over the Arctic.

A low pressure mass normally sits over the Arctic and high pressure sits at the mid-latitudes. In that circumstance, cold air is confined to the

WHEAT CONSUMPTION | HEALTH

Wheat safety divisive issue Cardiologist advocates eliminating wheat from diet; nutritionist disagrees

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A staple of the human diet has been coming under increasing attack from some health professionals.

One of the more recent salvos was fired by William Davis, a Wisconsin cardiologist and author of the book Wheat Belly, in which he provides 16 pages of reference information from the 1960s to the present supporting his argument that eating wheat is harmful to the body.

Davis advocates the elimination of wheat in the human diet, instead recommending a low carbohydrate diet.

He believes modern wheat is not the same physically, biochemically or genetically as what was grown in the past.

‘The plant is very different and the effects on humans is very different,” said Davis. “ The changes made to wheat extend far beyond gluten.… When modern people consume wheat, there is an average increase in calorie intake of 400 calories per day.”

He said this is at least partly responsible for North America’s obesity epidemic. The gliadin protein in wheat increases appetite and as a result increases calorie consumption, he added.

Davis said the average human can gain more than 41.7 pounds per year as a result of wheat consumption.

Eliminating wheat could see acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome and arthritis conditions improve or disappear, he added.

Davis said his argument is supported by a 1960s Philadelphia study that explored human digestion of wheat. The research project examined people suffering from schizophrenia and the way wheat consumption affected their condition.

The schizophrenics involved in the study experienced an increase in paranoia and hallucinations when they ate wheat, he said.

Davis said another wheat property harmful to humans is lectin, a protective protein present in many other plant-based foods that humans consume.

Wheat lectin is indigestible by humans. He said once it gains access to the small intestines through the consumption of wheat, it will affect the body’s ability to screen nutrients and bacterial byproducts travelling through the blood stream.

He believes that this is the reason for higher rates of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases in wheat consuming populations.

Davis said an increased blood sugar level in the body is another harmful health effect of wheat consumption. Amylopectin-A is a carbohydrate unique to wheat that raises blood sugar higher than other food.

Two slices of whole wheat bread will raise blood sugar higher than most other food once it is digested, he said.

Higher blood sugar leads to higher blood insulin levels, which causes insulin resistance and belly fat.

He said people with belly fat could suffer from health conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer and heart disease. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

However, Davis’s view on wheat is not shared by all in the medical community.

Mary Ellen Camire, a professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Maine, does not recommend that the public avoid the consumption of wheat products.

“There are people who have a true medical condition and wheat protein is not good for them, but that shouldn’t apply to everybody,” said Camire.

“Wheat provides a lot of nutrients, specifically energy and protein but

also minerals and vitamins.… Breads and pastas and other wheat based foods … are an important contributor to those nutrients.… When people skip wheat … there is a tendency for them to become deficient in things like B vitamins.”

Camire said whole grain products such as wheat help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and obesity.

The “consumption of whole grain wheat will suppress the rise in blood sugar after a meal” rather than increase it, she said.

Camire recommended avoiding refined carbohydrates such as white flour because meals made with white flour tend to increase the blood sugar level in the body when compared to

meals made of whole wheat.

She said the U.S. government recommends that at least half of our grain intake be whole grains.

Canada’s food guide recommends the consumption of whole wheat pasta, bread and cereals as important to a healthy diet.

GLOBAL WARMING | ECOSYSTEM

Cities could serve as climate change laboratories Shift in growing zones | Health of trees and plants in warm cities could give insight into how they will adapt to global warming

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

TORONTO — Big cities could serve as laboratories for climate change, says terrestrial ecologist Ken Towle.

With their abundance of concrete and asphalt, they have become islands of heat in the surrounding rural landscapes. They’re experiencing today the higher temperatures expected in the future, and that may make them an ideal place to test the assisted migration of trees.

It’s already happening,” said Towle,

who works for the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority in Ontario.

“The provincial government in British Columbia is moving 15 tree species from neighbouring U.S. states and southern B.C. to 48 new locations, as far north as central Yukon. There’s a more modest program in Ontario. The cost of acting could be high, but the cost of not acting could be higher.”

Towle, who spoke at the recent Growing Roots conference in Toronto, was referring to the danger of imported trees becoming invasive,

which he said is less likely to be an issue in highly disturbed city locations.

Cities could serve in another way as well.

Their remnant forests and other natural areas are already subject to warmer temperatures. By assessing the health of trees and plants, researchers could gain insights into how rural areas could be affected in the future.

There’s support for helping trees, and even entire ecosystems, migrate north as temperatures rise, but some

experts such as restoration ecologist Mary Gartshore feel many species will be able to look after themselves.

Gartshore, who works at the St. Williams Nursery and Ecology Centre near Simcoe, Ont., said there’s a lot of natural diversity within most species.

Other climate shifts have occurred over the millennium — although not caused by the human population — and they’ve managed to adapt.

“They knew how to adapt before and they can do it again.”

Gartshore said a better response to climate change may be to give nature

a helping hand by conserving and enhancing native species and ecosystems as they exist today.

Natural Resources Canada scientist Dan McKenney said depending on the model cited, it’s predicted the average global temperature could rise 2 to 5 C by the end of the century.

That will have an impact on trees.

The growing zone for sugar maples, for instance, may shift 725 kilometres north to the southern shores of James Bay while the climate that Toronto residents now enjoy will be experienced on the northern shore of Lake Superior. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Montana firm custom maps Canadian topography

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

11/11 - BCS11026

Printed topographic maps have been around for centuries, but an American company has added a bit of modern technological sophistication to the map printing business.

MyTopo provides customized printed topographic maps of locations in Canada and the United States within 24 hours, said marketing manager Paige Darden.

“It’s a pretty straightforward service,” she said.

“It’s a low tech product with … paper maps, but we take advantage of the internet to be able to allow people to order a map in a very sophisticated way and print and ship … a map that is much better than they would have been able to get from the government.… We serve a very wide market from agriculture, surveying, forestry, geology to individual hikers and hunter with these maps.”

Darden said people interested in ordering a customized printed map must start by visiting www.MyTopo. com.

She said customers must provide GPS co-ordinates or geographical features such as a town or lake to search for an area of interest.

Once the specific area is found, the customer is free to change the way the location is displayed on the printed map by making adjustments.

Selecting the paper size along with the map scale is also possible, she said.

Customers can add a longitude and latitude grid, personalize the map with a name or title, preview the final product, choose the type of paper the map is printed on and request that it be laminated.

Darden said map sizes are 18 by 24 inches at a cost of $9.95 US, 24 by 36 inches for $14.95, 36 by 48 inches for $29.95, four by five feet for $79.95 and five by eight feet for $159.95.

The company has digitalized 12,000 map sheets covering the land surface of Canada into its searchable database. The digitized data was provided by Natural Resources Canada.

SEED CLEANING | COLOUR SORTING

Colour sorter key to sales; reaping top dollar for crop Essential for sorting and cleaning weeds, wild oats, fungus infected seed

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A colour sorter is now considered a necessary piece of equipment for rural seed cleaning plants. | FILE PHOTO

Colour sorters will become necessary pieces of equipment if rural seed cleaning plants are to survive, says an official of an Alberta seed cleaning plant.

Beaver County deputy reeve Ron Parham said a new colour sorter

has extended the life of the county’s 1950s-era seed cleaning plant in Holden for several more years.

“If you don’t have one, then you’ll be left at the way side. It’s one of the essential tools these days,” he said.

the sorter.

Yarham expects revenue to increase to $224,50 next year.

The plant may also expand its storage facility and upgrade the rest of its equipment to help speed up the cleaning process.

“These old plants were not ever designed for that much grain to go through,” said Yarham.

The plant is trying to hire staff to run a second shift, he added.

The increased demand for colour sorters is not just because of ergot, the cereal-infecting fungus that hit prairie cereal crops this year.

Bill Sinclair, manager of the Bashaw Seed Cleaning plant in Bashaw, Alta., said it’s a necessary piece of equipment for the modern seed plant to clean barley out of wheat, wheat out of barley and wild oats out of oats.

“It’s the next level of service in cleaning technology. It will be an expected service soon,” said Sinclair, whose plant was the first in the province to install a colour sorter two years ago.

The plant now runs 24 hours a day almost year round.

The sorter doubled the plant’s revenues but also increased labour and repair costs.

The plant is considering expanding again to keep up with the demand.

For the first time in years, the co-op has paid income tax in-stead of writing off losses.

Sinclair estimates a dozen of Alberta’s 71 co-op and municipal seed cleaning plants have installed colour sorters, which should double in the next couple of years.

Mark Kaese, manager of Battle River Seed Cleaning in Paradise Valley, Alta., said the plant has seen a steady increase in business since installing its colour sorter.

It originally bought the colour sorter to clean weed seeds out of pedigreed seed.

“We looked at the Bashaw plant and thought we better have one,” Kaese said. “It’s a typical thing in business.

If you stand still, you go backwards.”

He said the past two years of ergotinfected grain have increased their business 15 percent.

Unlike most of the province’s seed cleaning plants, which were built in the 1950s and 1960s and have limited storage and cleaning capacity, the Paradise Valley plant was built in 1993 after lightening struck the old plant and can clean 500 to 600 bushels per hour.

“We thought it as a disaster when it burned down and a year later we thought what a stroke of luck,” said Kaese.

The Vermilion Seed Cleaning plant plans to install a colour sorter in 2012 to help remove ergot from wheat.

Manager Mel Reid said the plant does a good job eliminating ergot using a gravity separator but will save about four percent more wheat using the colour sorter.

“The big push is to upgrade producers’ crops so they can sell their wheat,” he said. “Most of the crop is unsalable unless they clean it.”

Cummins, Cat work together on Versatile

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Versatile’s new 4WDs are basically a fresh, ground-up design prompted primarily by the Tier 4 interim emission standards. |

EQUIPMENT | TRACTOR

New Versatile satisfies wish list Bigger, powerful | The tractor is quieter, more comfortable and doesn’t require urea

Engineers wanted the front of the narrow frame tractors to match the wide frame tractors so they could share the same radiators, grill, hood and other items. To accommodate this, they made the frame wider at the front with extensions.

RYAN SHUST VERSATILE

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Bringing a new tractor to market is a big expense, which manufacturers don’t take lightly or do often.

Three years ago, Versatile saw that upcoming Tier 4 interim standards would force major changes to their big tractors.

“When Cummins changed up to Tier 4 interim, it affected the intake and exhaust plus required more cooling capacity with bigger radiators up front,” said Ryan Shust, tractor project manager at Versatile.

“Once we figured out how to handle that, we saw it was a big enough change that we’d might as well go ahead and change the other things we’d been considering. Basically, we took advantage of the opportunity to incorporate features farmers had been asking for.”

Shust said the new tractors have the same drive train components as they used to, including outboard planetariums, axles, drive shafts and transmissions.

As with previous Versatile 4x4 tractors, the three lower powered platforms have the narrow chassis and the three high horsepower platforms have the wide chassis. However, Versatile wanted to use the same radiators, grills, hoods and front battery boxes on narrow and wide models.

Rather than complicate the issue,

the engineers simply added an eightinch wider section to the front left and front right of the narrow chassis.

The front of both chassis are now equal width.

Access to both sides of the engine is the same, but the entire hood assembly can now be removed in less than 10 minutes.

The tractors have a larger 40-gallon hydraulic reservoir, now located high on the tractor so gravity feeds the pump. Shust said the positive supply layout creates a better pump flow in all conditions.

The standard hydraulic system has been bumped up to 58 g.p.m. with four circuits. The optional high capacity system puts out 115 g.p.m., and has six circuits and two independent pumps plumbed in parallel.

The tractors are now available with Group 49 tires, giving a longer and thus larger footprint on the soil.

Sound of silence The tractor is quiet. Shust said the Cummins diesel particulate filter (DPF) helps. A regular tractor muffler is just a hollow chamber with perforated tubing inside. It doesn’t do much to muffle the sound.

The DPF muffler is different. Shust said it’s like a catalytic converter on a car. It has a filter inside to pick out particles, but the filter also takes out access=subscriber section=production,none, section=production,none,none

a lot of the noise.

“The other silencing factor is the combustion chamber. That’s where all the noise originates. Diesel engines used to have one injection of fuel into the cylinder per stroke. That single injection creates a single explosion in there. One big loud bang per stroke. The new QSX injects fuel at five intervals per stroke cycle. The sound originating from the combustion chamber is more of a whoosh.

The noise from each explosion is spread out over a longer period of time.”

Shust said the headland super button is another feature farmers have been requesting. The operator programs the computer to perform the headland turn functions.

He punches the super button when he reaches the headland and then steers the tractor until he’s set up for the next pass. The program automatically lifts hydraulics, changes gears, regulates engine r.p.m. and controls the seeding system.

Once he’s pointed in the right direction, he punches the button again and it’s back to business as usual.

The cab is new from the frame up.

View-from-the-seat, ergonomically

correct controls and overall operator comfort have become increasingly important in the big tractor arena.

The new Versatile cab is the biggest in the industry. It’s 20 percent larger with 35 percent more forward visibility than the previous cab.

It incorporates curved glass to give a better view and has 89.5 sq. feet of window glass.

The big 575 will still be manufactured and sold under the old Tier 3 standard. It cannot meet Tier 4 interim standards, but Versatile is using credits from the new tractors to support the 575. Shust said upgrading the current 575 tractor and engine is on the agenda.

“When the 575 gets the more powerful engine, it will also get the new platform we just introduced,” he said.

“The QSX15 has a big displacement, so Cummins has a lot of untapped power in reserve in that engine. And we’ve put a lot of thought into the new platform, and it also has a lot of potential. So putting a really powerful engine into that new 550 platform may not be as onerous as you might think.”

For more information, contact Shust at 477-2328 or rshust@buhler.com.

It’s unusual to see two head-on competitors co-operate on a joint project in the sometimes-hostile world of ag implement manufacturing.

But that’s what happened last year when Cummins mated its latest engine technology to Caterpillar’s latest transmission technology.

Although Cummins and Cat are direct competitors in many machinery markets, they joined forces to provide the new Versatile tractors with the most efficient power and drive train package possible.

Cummins has provided Versatile with engines since 1966. Cat began providing Versatile with its popular TA-22 power shift transmission in 2007.

When Versatile realized three years ago it could not meet the new Tier 4 standards with its existing 4x4 platforms, the company called on Cummins and Cat to work together with Versatile engineers.

Their objective was to make the engine and transmission talk to each other to extract maximum performance from both components.

“This Cummins/Cat partnership is a unique situation, for sure,” said Wayne Goris of Caterpillar’s agricultural applications division.

“But there are no high level corporate problems. We’re both learning a lot working together on this project, and Versatile gets a better tractor out of the deal. The Cummins engines are J1939 protocol and that’s what our ECMs speak. So we’ve gained a lot doing integration development with Cummins.”

Goris said the conversation between a diesel engine and a heavyduty transmission means the transmission senses the engine’s load, r.p.m. and torque level.

The Powershift ECM reads this data continuously, making instantaneous decisions that go through the electronic control, pressure control (ECPC) valve.

It’s always determining whether it should up shift, down shift or maintain the status quo. It can go one gear up or one gear down seamlessly without a break in torque.

Goris said the ECM can tell immediately when r.p.m. starts to drop and torque output starts to rise. It knows it’s time to shift when it hits that point in the curve.

“It shifts so smoothly because we always have two clutches engaged for every gear,” Goris said.

“When it’s time to shift, we drop one access=subscriber section=production,none, section=production,none,none

clutch off in a millisecond and put the next clutch on in a millisecond. It works that way shifting up or down. If you’re shifting a manual transmission, you’ve got to clutch, slow those shafts down, make the shift and reengage the clutch. It’s never smooth.”

He said there have been no Cat transmission failures in the five years they have been going into Versatile tractors.

“We like to think these TA-19 and TA-22 transmissions will be good for 10,000 hours or more.”

The TA-19 is optional in the Versatile 350, 375 and 400. The TA-22 is optional in the Versatile 450 and the only transmission available in the 500 and 550.

There are surprises the first time a new QSX-powered Versatile is started: no diesel odour, smoke or noise.

In fact, one of the new tractors recently sat idling in the main exhibition hall at the Winnipeg Convention Centre for a half hour after security said it must be turned off. Nobody noticed it was still running.

When the tractor was fired up again later that day for the official debut, many of the Versatile dealers and customers in the hall didn’t even notice it Wth no smoke and no smell, and it meets all the Tier 4 interim criteria.

Although industry and diesel customers have complained bitterly about emission standards imposed over the years, the latest QSX engines prove that the standards have tangible benefits for end users.

Not only are the QSX Tier 4i engines quieter and less odorous, but they can burn B20 and make more power per unit of fuel, according to Cummins representative Nick Ciavarro.

“Diesel engine manufacturers are required to meet Tier 4 interim. That forced us to really focus on the upgrade of our technology. Tier 4 interim forced a total re-think. It’s not just an extension of Tier 2 and 3.

“As a result, we have the new high powered 2250 ECM (engine control module), the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) process, variable geometry turbo (VGT) and the diesel par-

ticulate filter (DPF).

“So, the Tier 4 interim has been a very good thing for us at Cummins.”

However, Ciavarro said it’s not easy making all these high-tech systems function at their optimal level when mated to a new transmission installed in a new tractor.

“When we deliver something like a 50 or 60 percent torque rise, our tech guys have to work pretty closely with the Cat transmission guys and the Versatile guys so we know it all works as a package.”

Ciavarro said it took a lot of intense fine-tuning and co-operation, but it wasn’t all dyno work and sitting in front of a computer screen.

“It was long underwear, snowmobile suits and frozen fingers. We spent January, February and March out at the Versatile test site south of Winnipeg.”

Cummins, Cat and Versatile engineers burned the midnight oil, putting as many hours as they could on the tractors, pulling load carts and running tests.

“We were tuning the engine and transmission so they could talk to each other without glitches,” Ciavarro said. “It was basically polishing and perfecting our Tier 4 interim to match the transmission and the tractor.”

QSX 11.9 Tier 4i engines go into the new 350, 375 and 400 tractors, while the larger QSX 15 Tier 4i engines go into the new 450, 500 and 550 tractors.

Ciavarro said DPF is one of the most significant technological breakthroughs prompted by the new emission standards. It requires no urea additives and provides 99 percent passive regeneration in normal work conditions.

“We use heat from the combustion chamber to break down the particulate material to the point that the exhaust is putting out only carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and water. No particles and no smoke.”

He said the EGR and DPF must work together. Exhaust is recycled back into the combustion chambers to burn off more nitrous oxide, which reduces the workload on the DPF and uses a continuous catalytic reaction to burn off remaining particles.

“If you do the kind of heavy work these tractors are designed for, you will definitely create enough heat and exhaust flow to regenerate the DPF system automatically.

“But, at idle and low duty cycles, the engine doesn’t generate enough heat for passive regeneration. In that case, you simply press the DPF button and wait 30 or 40 minutes for the system to regenerate itself.”

Versatile 450, 500 and 550 tractors will carry the QSX15 Tier 4i engines and provide 675 horsepower, Cummins rep Nick Ciavarro explains to a Versatile customer. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS

Cat rep Wayne Goris says there were many hours spent fine tuning the engine and transmission so they could talk to each other.

Maintenance comes at 6,000 hours, at which point the DPF must be dismantled and the centre section brought to a Cummins service centre to have ash blown out.

The DPF will not perform as designed unless the operator changes

oil every 500 hours and uses only low ash CJ4 oil. Fuel should be only low sulfur diesel with a maximum of 15 parts per million of sulfur.

Ciavarro said the VGT can change the term ratio of the turbine to match the workload.

“The VGT can act like a smaller turbine than it really is so it spools up quicker. That gives better transient response and load acceptance.”

He said that in automotive language, it’s like turbo lag and throttle response. VGT virtually eliminates turbo lag and provides instant throttle response.

“At the high end, we really open up the VGT to move a huge volume of air through that engine. The 550 engine goes to 590 h.p. on the power bulge.

That’s nearly as much useable power as the current 575 Versatile.”

He said the QSX15 in a Tier 4 final agricultural tractor will be 675 h.p.

“It’ll have a bigger VGT turbo and more of a free flow exhaust in the after treatment system. People should remember that these aren’t like the old Cummins engines, when you’d simply turn the screw a little bit for

more power. You can’t modify or retune or hot rod these engines, even if you had the right computer access.

These engines are carefully dialed in as part of the whole drive train package.”

He also said many users of this equipment aren’t particularly interested about tier standards and emission control systems.

“Most customers in industry, construction, highway transportation and agriculture do not care about what’s coming out of the tailpipe,” he said.

“My boss is head of industrial application engineering. He stresses to us that customers want to get their work done in the least amount of time, burning the least amount of diesel.

“However, I often get some very relevant questions from farmers who are quite informed and up to speed on the emission standards. It tells me they study the subject.”

Different solar heating systems practical for home, office

BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Harnessing the sun’s heat to supplement commercial and domestic energy needs is nothing new but is often viewed as a luxury for the wealthy environmentalist.

This perception may soon become a thing of the past.

Ewan Pollock of Cansolair Marketing in Saskatoon sells the Cansolair RA 240 Solar Max heated air generator unit. He believes it can reduce the heating costs of farm homes and shops by 40 percent over two to four years.

He said one solar air-heating unit would supply enough supplemental heated air for a 1,500 sq. foot home at a cost of $2,995 per unit. He recommends using several air-heating units for larger buildings.

The solar air heaters are marketed as supplemental winter air-heating units that are affordable and environmentally friendly. They were invented in Newfoundland and are manufactured by Cansolair Inc. of Newfoundland.

Each thermostatically controlled solar unit has a 28 sq. foot solar collector. Inside are 15 aluminum tubes made from recycled soda and beer cans. Pollock said the cans are coated on the outside with a special heat absorbent adhesive to increase heat retention.

cool air from inside the building and transfers it to the tubes where it is heated by solar radiation as it passes through the cans.

The heated air is immediately returned to the building through a dryer vent.

The units can be mounted to the wall of a building and feature a convex polycarbonate panel at the top to allow the sun’s heat radiation to hit

the solar panel surface from multiple angles, he said.

Each unit is 44 inches wide, 88.5 inches high, four inches thick at the sides and 8.5 inches thick at the centre.

They are typically mounted on the southern wall of a building to maximize the heat radiating from the sun, but mounting them on the roof is also possible, he said.

Will Oddie, manager of Kelln Solar’s solar thermal division, is not convinced solar air-heating systems are always a practical air heating option for farm homes.

He believes solar air heating units are more suitable for industrial uses where a significant amount of additional heated air is needed during the day.

Homeowners do not benefit sig-

nificantly from the solar heated air generated by the unit unless the house is occupied during the day.

Oddie said the difficulty with solar air heating systems is their inability to store heat for later use.

As a result, solar air heating systems are not as practical and versatile as solar hydronic systems, which typically use liquids such as water to transfer the sun’s heat for use in a building.

A modified solar hydronic system can be used for heating air in a home as well as other domestic purposes requiring energy, said Oddie.

However, he said solar hydronic systems are not as cheap as solar airheating systems.

Jim Meaney, inventor and manufacturer of the Cansolair RA 240 Solar Max, said his unit has the capacity to go dual purpose.

“This product not only space heats, it preheats ventilation air, … it can heat water, it can even produce electricity,” he said.

However, he has been unable to secure government funding that would help him commercially develop other domestic applications.

Meaney estimates he has sold more than 2,000 units since he started manufacturing in 2001. He builds an average of 300 units per year.

Cansolair Inc. has been in operation since 1994. It manufactures the units’ solar lens and assembles all units for shipping.

EQUIPMENT | ELECTRIC POWER

Electrification back in style on the farm Engine-mounted generators provide power supply

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

HANOVER, Germany — Electricity is coming to a field near you, but it won’t need a mile of extension cord.

The only power on a tractor has traditionally been the 12 volts coming off the alternator.

However, new machinery designs are turning to electricity to deliver energy to operations once the mandate of hydraulics, power take-offs, ground drives and accessory drives.

“Mechanical drives aren’t very efficient,” said Ulrich Huber of electrical technology company STW. “They are poor at transferring power from one place to another once it is made.”

Huber’s German company brought a 140 kilowatt generator mounted to a Fendt tractor to Germany’s recent Agritechnica farm show in Hanover to show off what it could do with electricity to replace typical p.t.o. and hydraulic systems.

“This is nothing new for mining or other industries, only in agriculture have we avoided it, until now,” he said.

“It is a better way to deliver power: more efficient and well proven.”

STW was not alone in showing off its diesel engine powered, electrichybrid tractor.

Deere, Deutz, Rigitrac, Agco and Belarus also brought electrical solutions to Agritechnica. They say it is more than a passing fad.

“It’s a trend that goes hand in glove with precision agriculture, rising fuel prices and maintenance costs,” Huber said.

Power generated either from a p.t.o. mounted generator, which is the STW solution, or from more common flywheel mounted generators provides energy through cables to electric motors that drive a variety of functions on equipment.

Deutz-Fahr plans to power balers and other tools with electricity.

Age Krug of Agco Challenger in the Netherlands said his company’s prototype Electrogator, a diesel-overelectric sprayer with electrically powered wheel motors, is destined for production in coming years.

“It is about efficiency and precision,” Krug said.

“We were able to control wheel spin and improve ground contact, use less fuel and improve our application procedures. Our new non-electric sprayer in Europe benefited from what we have seen from the prototype about wheel spin.”

Much of the efficiency is created by the ability to disconnect machinery from the engine and run the various components at ideal speeds or selectively shut off systems when they are parasitic on the machine.

A fertilizer spreader from Rauch operates its spinners with electric motors, providing variable rate applications and shut offs for an entire side at field edges and overlaps.

Electric motors have other benefits as well.

High torque motors don’t give up power as readily as other drives, can increase and decrease speed more rapidly and are able to compensate

ULRICH HUBER STW

for changes in ground speed independently from the motion of the machine.

When Agco debuted its Electrogator sprayer at Ag Connect in Orlando, Florida, last year, it predicted that its new large-square baling system that trailed its combines would eventually be electrically driven rather than depending on long hydraulic feeds from the combine.

Rigitrac offers an electrically driven tractor capable of precision operating speeds and up to 15 percent fuel savings. It won an innovations award at this year’s Agritechnica for the machine.

Marlin One, a senior standards engineer with John Deere, said electric systems aren’t new to agriculture but failed to catch on in an era of low fuel prices and plentiful machinery mechanics.

The Farmall 450 of the 1950s had an IH Electrall option that used an engine-mounted generator that fed motors on farm implements.

Deere now makes a 7530 E in North America and a 6030 in Europe. Electricity is generated from the crankshaft with an electrically driven cooling system, air conditioning and air brake compressors and power for farm implements. It can also connect to a 110 volt power system so it can act as a emergency or mobile farm power supply.

First at Agritechnica two years ago, Belarus introduced its 3023 tractor with an electrically driven front p.t.o.

The Deutz ZT-Terra+ tractor can add wheel motors to implements to boost stop and start loads as well as p.t.o. driven processes, which reduces engine load when it is least efficient.

The company said the strategy improves fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent. As well, using electric motors in place of crankshaft driven tractor auxiliaries such as cooling and other pumping can produce savings of five percent.

In a recent American Society of Agricultural and Biotechnological Engineers Association publication, the Deere tractor was shown to be 13.8 percent more fuel efficient running a power harrow and 9.3 percent better when pulling a trailer than its 7530 all-diesel sister machine.

Germany’s DLG, which organizes Agritechnica, also tests farm equipment. It found the electrical machine was five percent more efficient.

Huber said the generators will become larger and controllers more sophisticated. However, most of the technology transition will take place with the introduction of implements that can use the new energy source.

“You will still have your p.t.o. and hydraulics, but you will also have some large electrical connectors as well,” he said.

ALTA. GROUNDWATER MAPPING A new mapping tool will help Albertans better manage the quality and quantity of underground water resources.

The Groundwater Atlas for the Edmonton-Calgary corridor was produced by the Alberta government and the Alberta Geological Survey.

It provides comprehensive results of a three-year mapping project that is expected to help communities in one of Canada’s busiest economic corridors make better water management decisions now and into the future.

The atlas covers a variety of groundwater features in the region and includes the results of geophysical surveys taken from the air in the corridor between 2008 and 2010.

Airborne geophysics uses electromagnetic waves to measure the properties of the earth, rock and water below ground level. When combined with existing information, such as drilling reports, it creates a clearer picture of underground water resources.

Such mapping increases understanding of the impact of groundwater use on aquifers and connected surface water bodies.

The atlas complements other work done in the province to better understand and manage potential effects of development activities on the environment. Southern Alberta is the next region of focus.

JCB has always been a visionary company, from the invention of the backhoe loader, to the only skid steer with a side door.

Now, we’ve redesigned our skid steer from the ground up.

We’ve given it greater visibility, increased accessibility and made it more comfortable all without sacrificing safety. Step in our industry’s only side door and you’ll learn why this is no ordinary skid steer.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | SPECKLE PARK

Australian builds Speckle Park herd Rancher buys embryos to expand operation STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Speckle Park cattle have taken Australia by storm since Greg Ebbeck first showed the breed in his home country three years ago.

The breed has soared in popularity, outstripping the competition in live and carcass contests.

At Canadian Western Agribition in Regina last week, Ebbeck bought a package of six embryos for his Australian operation in Meadow Flat, New South Wales.

“Australia hasn’t seen the demand for a product ever like it has for Speckle Park,” the long-time Hereford breeder said.

“The best restaurants in the country can’t get enough of it.”

The breed also has an exclusive supply contract with Emirates Airlines, which has replaced Angus on the first-class menu.

Ebbeck said the amount of money that has been spent developing the carcass and meat side of the breed has been “mind blowing.”

An Agribition attendee for 28 of the 41 shows, he first saw Speckle Park when they debuted at the show after being officially declared a breed in 2006. He used to take home Hereford genetics, but the last six years he has focused on Speckle Park.

“It’s their carcass attributes and meat quality, tenderness and taste.”

The embryos he has imported have resulted in an Australian herd of 2,500 head, rivaling the number in Canada, where the breed was developed.

There are now 56 members in Speckle Park Inc., an international organization based at the University of Armidale in New South Wales.

The association has a patented and trademarked branded beef product called Speckle Park Supreme.

“For that they have to be 50 percent Speckle Park and out of any recognized British breed,” Ebbeck said.

Crosses with Brahman cattle are becoming popular in parts of Australia, and demand for bulls is strong.

“They have a lot of hybrid vigour,” he said. “They are quite a bit bigger

than Brangus and Brereford, and thicker.”

He doesn’t see demand for Speckle Park genetics or meat dropping soon.

A Speckle Park female topped the 36-breed show at the Melbourne Royal agricultural show in just a third appearance. At the Sydney Royal, which is the largest show in the southern hemisphere, Speckle Park finished in the top five.

The breed gets more respect in Australia than Canada, said Ebbeck, who has ranches in both countries under the Six Star name. He owns the former Star Buck operation at Neilburg, Sask. Many still favour black hides in North America.

“In Australia, the colour pattern was a plus,” he said. “Buyers knew exactly what they were getting.”

The cattle seem to do as well at 40 C as they do at - 40 C, he said, adding the toughness comes from their Angus and British breed ancestors.

Ebbeck has 80 purebred cows and 40 to 50 that he uses for embryo transplant.

“Considering it’s a small breed in terms of numbers, the genetic base is quite diverse,” he said.

AGRIBITION SHOW RESULTS • JSF Black Magic 3Y was the grand champion female. It was exhibited

by Jason Goodfellow, who operates Six Star at Neilburg, Sask., with co-owners Johner Stock Farm, Silver Tip Speckle Park and Morrison Land and Livestock • Reserve was Notta 68L Uptown Girl 16U from Redneck Ranch of Odessa, Sask.

• Grand champion bull was River Hill 26T Walker 60W from River Hill Farm at Neilburg • Reserve was Spots ‘n Sprouts Stands Alone, shown by Goodfellow • The sale saw 20 lots average $2,777.50 • The high seller was a $6,000 bred heifer from Legacy Speckle Park at Theodore, Sask., which went to Alex Steel and Andchris Farms at Ingersoll, Ont. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

Outlaw 6Y, the only bull consigned to the Gelbvieh sale at Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 24, was the top selling lot. The red bull from Fladeland Livestock at Gladmar, Sask., went to Max and Debby Porter of Stevensville, Montana for $6,250.

Ranchers add red to operation A Montana couple spent their Thanksgiving holiday shopping in Regina at Canadian Western Agribition.

Max and Debby Porter of M Heart D Gelbvieh in Stevensville, Montana, bought the two top-selling animals in the breed’s show to boost the genetics in their operation.

“We want to put some more red in our program,” said Max Porter after buying bull calf Outlaw 6Y from Fladeland Livestock at Gladmar, Sask. for $6,250. “We’re about 50-50 now.”

The bull was the reserve grand champion, the first to enter the sale ring and brought the top price.

The Porters also bought the second entry, a black female, Davidson Justadoll 26Y, who was at her mother’s side when Ms Jim 3S was named reserve grand champion female. She earned $6,000 for Davidson Gelbvieh at Ponteix, Sask.

“The black one, we’re familiar with

We have a great core of breeders in Montana. But we are strong, strong black. I get lots of calls for red bulls.

MAX PORTER M HEART D GELBVIEH

that line,” Porter said. “She is a fine, fine animal and we will put her into production at our ranch.”

The Porters run 100 registered animals in southwestern Montana near the Idaho border. They’ve had Gelbvieh since the mid-1990s.

The ranch was Porter’s grandfather’s and is located in a heavily irrigated, mountainous area where winter weather isn’t too extreme and allows for January and February calving.

Porter, who is president of the Mon-

tana Gelbvieh Association, said he was interested to see the Canadian cattle and encourage participation in American shows such as the Northern International Livestock Exposition in Billings.

“We have a great core of breeders in Montana,” he said. “But we are strong, strong black. I get lots of calls for red bulls.”

The Davidsons had already entered Justadoll in the Denver Stock Show and will drop it at the Porter’s afterward.

Vern and Eileen Davidson showed the grand champion bull, DVE Davidson Jumpstart 44X, at Agribition.

Fladeland Livestock showed the grand champion female, Flad DJW Fine Wine 89W, with its calf, Flad Shiraz 59Y, at side.

The sale saw 10 lots sell for a total $45,400. One animal was also sold to a North Dakota buyer. access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | AUCTION

TV’s Rick Mercer helps lead Agribition goat sale The highlight of the Canadian Western Agribition goat sale was likely more the appearance of a TV celebrity than the prices, although the prices were pretty good.

Rick Mercer, host of CBC’s Rick Mercer Report, spent time at Agribition last week for an upcoming episode of his show.

He spent time in the wash stalls and at the milking demonstration, among other stops.

He led the first goat into the sale ring during the Nov. 22 sale and promptly sent bid hands into the air.

The reserve grand champion, a

purebred Boer buck from Wacey Townsend at Sylvan Lake, Alta., sold for $2,100 to Corbin St. John. That was more than two times what Townsend expected for Xplosion Amigo.

The grand champion, ACR Antelope Creek Texas USA, exhibited by Venture 2 Boer Goats of Steelman, Sask., wasn’t for sale.

Mercer also tried his hand at replacing auctioneer Brennin Jack, with limited success.

“Lot 5 is a goat,” he said to audience laughter. “It has four legs.”

The goat was another Townsend

$2,100

WINNING BID FOR XPLOSION AMIGO entry. It sold for $950 despite the lack of typical auctioneer rhythm.

The sale was stronger than last year when only six lots sold and averaged $465. This year, 21 lots sold for a total $15,362 and an average $731.55.

In the doe show classes, Venture 2 also showed the purebred grand

champion, DU Sillon Amour, and the reserve, DU Sillon Frivole.

The grand champion percentage d o e w a s Ca l i c o C re e k Sp l a s h, exhibited by Mosaic Boers of Yorkton, Sask. The reserve was SawWhet 9Y Yen from Saw-Whet Acres at Edenwold, Sask.

R-Country Goats from Moose Jaw, Sask., swept the commercial classes, winning grand and reserve champion does with R-Country Goats 13T and R-Country Goats 1S, respectively.

The market kid champion was R-Country Goats 18Y. Saw-Whet 20Y was the reserve market kid.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | TOP SELLER

Half interest in calf sells for $67,000 Red Angus bull calf | Sale is highlight of producer’s career STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

REGINA — Every once in a while a family is rewarded for decades of hard work and a common sense approach to raising cattle.

That was the case for Danny and Conna Warrilow of Minburn, Alta,. when they sold a half interest in an eight-month-old Red Angus bull calf for $67,000 at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina.

Red Minburn Copenhagen 3Y will be owned in partnership with Silver Spurs Ranch of Encampment, Wyoming, Heart of the Valley Farms of Courtney, B.C. and U2 Ranch of Coaldale, Alta.

The bull caught the eye of buyers looking for outcross genetics.

“He was just interesting right from the word go,” Conna said.

The calf was from a home-raised, high-performing black cow that they decided to flush and mate with a red bull. All the resulting calves were red.

They also sold a full sister heifer calf for $5,800 at the Agribition Masterpiece sale, which totalled $275,500 and averaged $6,406 on 43 lots.

“We had done this embryo treatment just to use for ourselves and so when this calf came out and a couple of people saw him, and right away, they said, ‘wow, what a calf.’ It was difficult to put him in the sale,” said Danny.

The calf goes to stud in February and has a number of full sisters, but they must produce good calves before they enter an embryo flushing program.

“We don’t flush anything at our place unless it has proven itself to be a good cow. His sisters won’t go into an ET program at our place until they have proven themselves worthy of that,” he said.

The sale was the highlight of the Warrilows’ career, although they also access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Times got tough when BSE struck a few months after their March 2003 bull sale, but they decided to continue the production sales rather than lose some of their best commercial customers.

While the last year has seen the good times return, Danny said they need many good years to recover what was lost.

“We are still not at the place we were 10 years ago,” he said. “We’ve got 10 years to make up for the money we lost. The guys who are still in there lost a lot of money in the last eight years and so times can get good but

they need to get ridiculously good for a long time just to catch up.”

The Warrilows stopped running their female production sales in 2008 but continue to sell some privately. Commercial bred females are commanding higher prices at auction these days, but the purebred sector is slower to respond to market signals.

“There is a demand for females and there is a better price, but it is not the same percentage jump as what the commercial cattle are doing right now. We just have to be satisfied to wait for that for one more year.”

The Warrilows live entirely off their 300 head of purebred cattle, which

are raised in the hard grass region of northeastern Alberta.

“They are purebred but they are ranch cows,” he said.

“If we treated them too good, then our bull customers wouldn’t be happy. They come to our place to buy bulls to produce offspring that are going to work in their conditions.”

The Warrilows were early adopters of swath grazing and extending their grazing season as long as possible to cut costs on overwintering cows.

“We don’t start feeding our cows manually until February when we start calving,” he said.

“We usually pasture them till the middle of November on grass and

then they go to swath grazing for two to two and a half months.”

It works best with deep snow cover to keep the oat swaths fresh. It also forces the cows to dig through the snow and eat the entire row. They waste about five percent.

The cows stay in the fields until calving, when the Warrilows upgrade the feed quality.

“When we first started there wasn’t much literature on it. I started with 15 acres because I didn’t believe it would work. I couldn’t believe how those cows cleaned it up,” he said.

“It’s not the cost of putting the feed up. It’s the cost of hauling the feed out to the cows.”

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | LIMOUSIN

Difficult year for Manitoba producers ends with winning streak REGINA — A decision to return to the farm has paid off for Ashlee Mitchell.

The Manitoba Limousin breeder, who farms with her parents, Blair and Diane Mitchell at Virden, Man., earned a hat trick when the breed association awarded the family show bull of the year, sire of the year and dam of the year.

The show bull is named BDM Little Zipper and his mother is BDM Daisy

Mae, dam of the year. The sire of the year was TMF Samuri.

At 29, Ashlee has returned to the farm to work full time with her parents managing the cattle. Her brother, Rob, is an electrician.

The family travelled to 19 cattle shows this year.

“We tried to make it 20. Maybe next year,” said Ashlee, who also shows cattle for other producers.

“Lots of times we took off first thing

5 a.m. on Saturday and then we would pack up and head to another show on Sunday,” said her mother.

Little Zipper was supreme champion at six events and earned points for every major win. The recognition came at a good time. The family grain farms 300 acres and raises 60 purebred Limousin cows along with a commercial herd. They have had the purebreds for 10 years.

“She (Ashlee) is the one who

worked us into showing because that is what she likes to do,” said Diane, who often accompanies her daughter to the shows.

A large portion of their property was flooded earlier this year because of record amounts of rain and 70 centimetres of snow last April. Some of their crop remains unharvested and they lost pasture and hayland.

They usually harvest 500 acres of hay, but this year they lost 125 acres.

The cows had to be turned out on the hay because they ran out of pasture.

Their corrals collapsed in the mud.

The weather turned hot and dry in July and the land was covered with a black crust after the water receded.

“Anyplace that was a low spot, now there are cattails probably 10 feet tall.

Now we have to deal with trying to kill the cattails, ” said Diane.

“It’s been a hell of a year. I hope we never have another year like it.” access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | ANGUS

Angus judge calls on personal show success An eye for the best | Ontario breeder looks for certain criteria in all cattle

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

REGINA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There may have been a few moments when Billy Elmhirst considered flipping a coin while judging the Angus show at Canadian Western Agribition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were so many good cattle it was a hard decision,â&#x20AC;? he said of the Nov. 24 show, which is probably Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Angus show.

Elmhirst looks for overall soundness, proper body conformation and attractiveness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at cattle all the same way,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Elmhirst and his wife, Juanita, own Indian River Cattle Co., east of Peterborough, Ont., where the family has farmed for 150 years.

Along with the production of 90 polled Herefords and 50 red and black Simmentals, the Elmhirsts also run a custom fitting and show service for all breeds of cattle.

As well, they offer sales management, marketing and ring service.

Juanita manages the catalogue, brochure and web design and livestock photography business.

The couple met at Agribition and have been married for 15 years. They have two young children, Owen and Katie.

The Elmhirsts have also judged cattle as a team and generally see eye access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Judge Bill Elmhirst of Indian River, Ont., had to choose the senior bulls at Agribitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Angus show Nov. 24. In the end, HF Hemi 176W from Double F Cattle in Parkside, Sask., Nielson Land and Cattle and Hamilton Farms took the top spot. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO to eye on what they deem to be the best.

He was asked to judge the Agribition show in the spring and was one of the panel of five judges to evaluate

the supreme champions in Regina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is fun to be a part of it. It is a celebration,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Elmhirsts have enjoyed considerable exhibition success of their

own. The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto held a supreme competition in 2000 and the couple won the bull and female awards.

They have also been premier

breeders and exhibitors at the Royal and other eastern Canadian shows.

This year they attended Agribition with a string of six Simmental cattle, some of which belong to their children for their junior projects.

The trip from their farm to Regina is four hours by plane but 36 hours by truck for the cattle.

The animals arrived the Wednesday before the event started so that they could recover from travelling stress, get used to the local water and rest before entering the show ring.

The Elmhirstsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; live cattle, embryos and semen are traditionally exported to the United States with a large number of females going into junior programs. They have cattle in 24 states and have also sold embryos and semen to Australia, New Zealand and South America.

The farm took a hit when the discovery of BSE in Canada closed trade borders in 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cow herd grew and we spent more money trying to get traffic locally,â&#x20AC;? he said.

They also had to adopt other sales techniques and for the last four years have sold cattle through a week long internet sale in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough Simmental cows to have a production sale, so this is a good fit,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Simmental breed has received $3 million for genetic research. He is not sure where his herd might fit, but believes adopting DNA technology is another tool to improve cattle fertility and beef carcasses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be crazy not to participate.

There is no guesswork and it will add value,â&#x20AC;? he said.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | SIMMENTAL

Simmental breeders thrilled with junior champion win REGINA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Blair and Steph McIntosh slapped down the alarm clock at 2:30 a.m. and hit the show barns by 3 a.m. to prepare their Simmental herd for the Canadian Western Agribition show in Regina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do that every year and we like

to give them enough time to get washed, eat and lie down and relax before the show,â&#x20AC;? said Steph.

The young couple from Maymont, Sask., won junior champion female, which was sold at the Agribition sale on Nov. 24 for $20,000.

The bred female went to ML & L Simmentals of Ontario. It was the highlight of their career since they started with the breed in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wait and see and you are very nervous,â&#x20AC;? said Steph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always hope, and you think access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

maybe it will be that high.â&#x20AC;?

They started coming to the Regina show in 2005 and have steadily improved their performance, showing solid black and red Simmental.

The couple met at Agribition in 1999. Steph came from a Charolais family while Blair was from Ontario, where his family had Simmental.

The McIntoshes are among the new generation of breeders. They have two pre-schoolers and farm full time with her parents, Audrey and Richard Seib. They own 40 purebred Simmentals and 100 commercial cows. They joined a private bull sale with another breeder this year and are watching commercial demand increase for replacement bulls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people are looking for a black baldie,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seem to like the black calves, but if they can get a bald face, it shows the Simmental influence.â&#x20AC;?

The Canadian Simmental Association has recently received about $3 million in grant money to pursue genetic research profiling a number of traits.

The McIntoshes have started using Igenity tests from Merial on their purebreds, looking for cattle that are homozygous polled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the homo polled, no matter what they are bred to, all the calves will be polled,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Animal welfare laws in some Euro-

pean countries demand horns are removed with anesthetic. As a result, some producers find it easier to breed that quality out of them.

Carcass merit could follow, although they are still building their herd and want more numbers to compare results across their bulls and females. Simmental is likely to remain the breed of choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still feeling challenged with the Simmentals. We are doing good but we think we can do better,â&#x20AC;? she said.

BISON | AGING

Monitor herd to manage age related health, breeding issues ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

B

ison cows can live into their 30s, and while the industry initially thought that was a good thing, questions are now raised about the value of older animals in the herd.

In my veterinary practice, I am starting to see age-related health problems hurting the productive output of our herds.

A number of the pioneering herds in Canada now have several cows in the 15 to 20 year range. As we know more about them and study them under more intense management situations, we discover problems not unlike old beef cows.

More bison producers are starting to pregnancy check their cows, particularly older cows or those that have missed pregnancies in the past.

There is no doubt cows older than 15 years have much higher open rates. They don’t recover as quickly following a birth and their body condition goes down, resulting in either being open or having a late calf one year followed by an open year the next.

The economics driving modern agriculture require one calf from each cow each year, but to do that cows must be in top shape.

Bison cows in the wild often calve every second year. The off year allows them to regain condition from the demands of milking and raising the calf. It takes younger animals to reproduce year after year.

Dog breeders who raise two litters from their dogs yearly notice that they seem to age quicker. It is a similar story in the bison industry: cows producing one calf a year seem to age quicker.

This is exacerbated if the calves are left to be weaned naturally by the arrival of the next calf crop. It means that other than a short dry off period, these cows are essentially milking year around.

Producers who force weaning do so from December to April, which means the calves are at least eight months old and still suck some milk.

Leaving calves to wean naturally does not appear to affect colostrum consumption by the next calf crop.

The cow forces the yearling to keep its distance and they will run together as a family unit of three for quite a while.

It is important when tagging replacement heifers to have a system that can trace back the age. Older cows can be culled, especially if they access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

are open or start to calve late or begin to raise underweight calves. As the cow ages, its condition will drop and milk production is affected, which leads to lower weaning weights in their calves.

I have also observed aging conditions such as cataracts and hair starting to turn grey. Producers who closely monitor calving will report calving output of 50 to 60 percent with these older cows, which is unacceptable in the long term.

In bulls, I have semen tested enough to know good fertility extends beyond 10 years.

The issue with older bulls is they become more difficult to handle and smarter around facilities with each

10 cows. This will save on bull power and minimize fighting injuries.

Producers have told me that older bulls are more likely to get out or raise Cain with the fences. From a breeding perspective, it can be costly if the oldest, most dominant bull becomes infertile but also pre-

vents other bulls from breeding.

The bison meat market is now strong, so don’t hesitate to cull older, infertile stock and those showing advanced stages of aging. Aging may also affect their teeth or digestion.

Culling early means there will still be good meat value there. That also goes for breeding bulls.

As well, bringing in replacement heifers will increase productivity.

We cannot expect cows to be really productive into their 20s under our strict reproductive parameters, although as with anything, there are exceptions to the rule.

EDUCATION | TECHNOLOGY

Children’s school goes high tech, but goal is still learning COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

T

here aren’t as many chalkboards around as there used to be.

Teachers can wear black pants again without the danger of getting dusted by chalky hands, and the kid who wants to score points with the teacher can’t offer to clean the boards or pound the erasers anymore.

I’m pretty proud of our little school in Towner. It may only have a few hundred students scattered across

1,000 sq. miles in two school buildings, but it keeps up pretty good with the times.

Our second grader has just 10 kids in his classroom, but their chalkboard is a Promethean ActivBoard, kind of like a big computer screen that you can navigate with the tap of a finger.

The school has been wired for years with fibre optic cable and has wireless routers throughout the hallways to keep things flowing on their information superhighway.

The hallways my son walks and classrooms he sits in are the same ones I did 34 years ago, but aside from the bricks and mortar there isn’t much that is still the same.

School came easy for me, and I realize now that was quite a blessing. All kids are different and have different ways of learning, and the more ways you have to reach all the different

learning types the better.

We had a parent-student-teacher meeting at our school the other night. The topic was technology and the ways the school uses it.

I’m not a usually big fan of “robo calls,” but when it comes to getting the word out that the school buses are running an hour late because of a blizzard or snowy roads, it’s nice to get the message before you roll the little sleepy head out of bed, even if it is a robotic instant alert.

Used to be we’d get out of bed and get ready just in case, then tune into a scratchy AM radio station and listen for an announcement. If we couldn’t see the willows — some trees on the meadow just south of our house — Mom could usually predict with accuracy that school would be late or cancelled.

I used to bring home a small carbon copy piece of paper to show my par-

ents the grades I got in the different subjects.

Now I can log in and look up my student’s grades online, check individual test scores and send the teacher an e-mail if I think they’re grading the kid too high. It makes it a little tougher to try and fool your pare nt s by l o s i n g t h e re p o r t c a rd between school and home.

I heard a speaker talk recently about schools that do “reverse homework.” The students go home and listen to the classroom instruction on a YouTube video and then go to school the next day to do their homework in class, working on the problems together with their classmates.

The trick seems to be working. He said the students are more motivated, they’re learning more, and the test scores are higher.

I’ve heard it said that the internet

and technology magnifies both the good and the bad in a society. Education is one of the “goods” and if we amplify the good with technology, maybe we can drown out the noise of some of the bad.

I think the technology is helpful, but I had to smile when my second grader and I were sitting in the school library listening to a demonstration on ebooks, Nooks and Kindles at our meeting. The digital book didn’t quite hold his interest so he walked over to the old wooden library shelf and pulled out an old fashioned paper book to read while we sat there.

I approved, and I think it was a good reminder that there’s still a place for the old amongst all the new.

FARMFAIR | EDMONTON

Banner year for McLeods; family takes multiple titles Show a big success | Family named premier breeders, exhibitors STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The importance of family and being the best you can be comes up a lot in conversations with the McLeod family.

Rod and April McLeod, with their children Megan, 15, and Colby, 19, have had the show season of their lives this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a good year,â&#x20AC;? said Rod as he did chores in the barn at the recent Farmfair show in Edmonton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had some good ones and so we were hoping we could do it.â&#x20AC;?

The family had the grand champion female, supreme champion bull calf, division champions and breeders herd at Farmfair. They were also named premier breeders and exhibitors after the Charolais show.

As well, their entire string won the major awards at the Charolais division of the Olds Fall Classic, which qualified them for future recognition at Farmfairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alberta Supreme and Canadian Western Agribition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the one thing we do as a family altogether. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t holiday a

bunch and each of the kids has each of their own things,â&#x20AC;? Rod said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one common denominator is the cattle.â&#x20AC;?

The herd consists of 20 cows on their farm north of Cochrane, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want many. We just want the best ones,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The children enter steer shows.

Two years ago, Colby won the Calgary Stampede event with a steer that earned him $16,000 throughout its career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rod spends more time with the kids hunting for steers than anything else. It is a real family thing,â&#x20AC;? April said.

Rod has been involved in the purebred business for many years, including ownership of the breed magazine Charolais Banner. These days he can be seen taking live bids in the ring at purebred sales.

Breeding cattle is their most recent venture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole herd started with the purchase of 4-H heifers,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The grandmother and mother of the 2011 show string were the first 4-H heifer the McLeods bought for Colby. He now works off the farm in

Calgary, but Megan is a full participant as she fits in shows between high school assignments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started showing when I was five. I was showing a 1,500 pound cow,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Megan has stayed on the honour roll as a Grade 10 student at Cochrane High School, where she is also a football trainer with five other people for a team that ranks first in the province.

She makes this schedule work with e-mail and wireless internet in the show barns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the school year, you try and work it out with your teachers and I e-mail stuff in and do stuff early,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The family owns and operates the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest abattoir.

Balzac Meats processes beef, lamb, hogs, bison, elk and poultry.

The McLeods have built a solid base of customers who want local, high quality meat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the cheapest place, but our quality is second to none. That is our philosophy in everything we do,â&#x20AC;?

The cattle are finished at Rodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feedlot in Claresholm, Alta., and with other colleagues in the feeding business who can maintain the quality they want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take the philosophy in our meat business, the same as we do in our breeding cattle, where we only offer the best and everybody knows us for our quality in the meat business,â&#x20AC;? he said.

FARMFAIR | BREEDING

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Something differentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from Braunvieh cattle Alberta ranchers like what Swiss breed offers EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ian and Verena Peden have been carrying the flag for Braunvieh cattle at Farmfair for 15 years.

The couple from Leduc, Alta., have owned Braunvieh since 1984 and have never tried to change the style or colour, said Verana Peden.

Her family owned the cattle in Switzerland, where they were milked and used for beef. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked something different and I grew up with them. I talked my husband into it,â&#x20AC;? she said during a break at Farmfair, held Nov. 5-13 in Edmonton.

They showed their string in the all other breeds category and won grand champion female with a 10-year-old cow.

The cattle are quiet and come in a range of grey-brown shades with the characteristic white ring around the muzzle. The bulls get darker with maturity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Braunvieh has chosen not to go black. We have to go back to the original Swiss seedstock. If it is not Swiss, it is not Braunvieh,â&#x20AC;? said fellow breeder Bruce Anderson.

Anderson and the Pedens have exported semen to the United States, Mexico and South America, where the cattle are more popular.

Peden said the breed carries a larger brisket, which acts as a heat dissipater in hotter climates.

A potential Mexican customer approached them during the sale

looking for 10 females and two bulls.

Anderson, who ranches near Cowley, Alta., raises purebred and crossbred Braunvieh, mating them to Angus bulls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1972, a geneticist told us as far as crossbreeding goes, they have the best genetic pool for crossbreeding,â&#x20AC;? he said.

As a practising physician, he was also attracted to the claim of a genetic predisposition to produce more conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid associated with heart health.

To achieve the higher CLA levels, the Pedens and the Andersons finish their cattle on mostly grass with little or no grain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cattle get minimum grain,â&#x20AC;?

Peden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The calves get just grass and milk.

The calves are weaned at 700 pounds.

The cattle first came to the U.S. between 1869 and 1880 to form the basis of the American Brown Swiss dairy breed.

The first Brown Swiss bull selected solely for beef arrived in Canada in 1968 and formed the basis of the Braunvieh beef herds with 61 additional animals imported over the next 17 years. The association changed its name to the Canadian Brown Swiss and Braunvieh Association in 1996 to identify the two phenotypes within the breed. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

Two strong sheep sales highlighted the final day of Canadian Western Agribition as the industry continues to benefit from high demand.

The Saskatchewan Sheep Breeders Association and the Saskatchewan Katahdin Sheep Association both held sales Nov. 26.

Kim MacDougall, president of the SSBA and an Agribition director, said producers are enjoying good prices at all sales after some lean years.

“Wow,” he said as the SSBA sale concluded. “We saw it at Drake (the

Commercial ewes were selling for $300 to $400, and the high seller was the supreme champion ram. The purebred North Country Cheviot

consigned by MacKid’s Sheep from Regina sold for $900 to Daryl Allemand of Frontier, Sask.

That was better than last year’s high seller by $75. Fewer lots were on offer, but prices were higher in all categories.

MacDougall said the industry is supplying only 42 percent of the lamb eaten in Canada, and prices should remain strong as long as that continues.

Saskatchewan flock numbers are up, which isn’t the case across the country, he said.

Growth is seen particularly in the country residential market where people purchase a quarter section with a house and then need to use the land.

“There is some money to be made,” MacDougall said. “Depending on where you are, you could keep 100 head on a quarter without too much trouble.”

In the Katahdin sale, the top price was $1,175 for Mish 4X, a ram lamb consigned by Jordan Mish of Glenavon, Sask., which sold to a buyer from Chinook, Alta., for $1,175.

While that pales in comparison to last year’s $2,100 paid for an older Mish Katahdins ram, the prices at the lower end were higher.

Janette Mish, vice-president of the Saskatchewan Katahdin Sheep Association, said females are selling particularly well but prices for even younger males were surprisingly high.

She said it is more expensive for new entrants in the industry or for those looking to expand.

“But these animals usually give you twins so you can recoup more quickly,” she said.

The Mish family took all titles in the national Katahdin show held during Agribition.

The grand and reserve champion ewes were JJCM 81Y and JJCM 521X, respectively, while on the ram side the winners were JJCM 796U “Silent Sam” and JJCM 713X. In the SSBA Dorset show, Prairie Rose Dorsets of Drake, Sask., showed the grand and reserve champion ewes, Prairie Rose 12X and Prairie Rose 1T. Furze Farm of Maryfield, Sask., showed the grand champion ram, Furze Yuck Fou, 27Y, while Prairie Rose 27Y was the reserve.

Rocking S from Nokomis, Sask., showed the grand champion Suffolk ewe, Jilly 1X. MacDougall had the reserve, Horton 2X. In the ram class, Wade and Laurel Jo h n s o n f ro m G re n f e l l , Sa s k . , showed 7P Audie 15Y to a grand championship banner. The reserve ra m w a s Wa rd 3 8 Y f ro m Wa rd Mortenson of Saltcoats, Sask.

Clinton Wiens of Drake showed the grand and reserve champion ewe of any other breed, Wiens C18Y and Wiens C43X. Prairie Rose Dorsets and Wiens also showed the grand and reserve winners, respectively, in the purebred ewe pen class.

In the commercial ewe classes, Chance Jackson of Sedley, Sask., showed the grand champion individual and pen. Wiens had the reserve single ewe and Courtney and Peter MacDougall showed the reserve pen.

In the market lamb division, Sierra Viola of Russell, Man., and Tommy won grand champion while a Mortenson lamb was the reserve.

RESEARCH | FUNDING

Beef genome project will improve carcass quality Traits producers want to select for identified through DNA data

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan government has matched a contribution from Alberta to fund a genomics research project.

The Canadian Simmental Association is leading the project to identify genes that will improve carcass quality and efficiency. All breeds will benefit from the results.

Agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud said the province’s $375,000 contribution from the Agriculture Development Fund will help beef producers stay competitive.

Rick McIntyre, past president of the CSA, said the project has been in the works for years.

The Churchbridge, Sask., producer

We’ll be able to select before we normally would know they had that gene.

RICK MCINTYRE CATTLE PRODUCER

said the three-year $1 million project will help select traits that are hard to select for, such as feed efficiency.

“Through the data we have built and the data that’s going to be gathered through this project, they’re going to identify animals through DNA snips that have the genes that

we want to select for,” McIntyre said.

Producers should be able to identify animals with specific genes earlier than usual simply by taking hair from young animals.

“We’ll be able to select before we normally would know they had that gene,” he said. “We would have (otherwise) gone through a good fouryear process.”

Feed efficiency is one of the traits McIntyre expects will make an economic difference for producers.

“That’s a very hard thing to measure in the cattle industry,” he said.

“It’s easy in other industries that we compete against.”

The CSA also contributed money to the project from its Garth Sweet Simmental Foundation.

Overlooked but not discounted | Saskatchewan buyer liked horse’s size, colour and disposition

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A horse that had a tough time in the show ring fared better in the sale ring during Canada’s Premier Select Ranch Horse events at Canadian Western Agribition.

Wayne A. Morris saw the potential in SQ Mr. Blue Socks, a young buckskin gelding consigned by Sim Qua Ranch of Kola, Man. Morris, bidding on behalf of his business partnership with Marvin Longman, said he liked the horse’s size, colour and disposition.

That’s why they were willing to spend $10,000, which stood as the highest price in the Nov. 25 sale.

Morris, who is from Punnichy, Sask., said they would use the horse in their small ranching operation, which includes 50 cows and 40 papered brood mares.

“We only have a few geldings and they’re starting to get old now,” he said.

The partners operate a heavy equipment construction company as their main business.

“But ranching is in our blood,” Morris said. “It goes back generations.”

Dale Barkman rode the horse during the competition and sale.

He said the gelding did well despite the odds. Barkman spent five months working with the horse as a two-year-

old. He placed third at the Manitoba Superhorse 50/50 Futurity.

But then they took a break.

“He’s been eating grass for two years doing nothing,” Barkman said.

“If you saw him in the ring you’d have seen that.”

He just began working with the now four-year-old horse again in September.

Barkman said he had hoped someone would see through the rawness and pay a good price.

He said it can cost $700 to $900 per month to train a horse.

“Some of the more broke ones have between $10,000 and $15,000 worth of training in them,” he said.

Barkman said the gelding’s disposition is critical to his future as a working horse. He is not easily spooked and is generally easy going, he said.

The show champion, Ms Doc n Doll, was a mare entered by Karen Blake of Abbey, Sask. and ridden by Beau Smith. She brought $8,100 in the sale and won $5,000 in the show.

Chics n Diamonds from Frehlick Quarter Horses in Estevan, Sask., placed second in the show, behind by just two points. Dancin in Lightnin from Lyle Ludwig in Craven, Sask., was third but brought the secondhighest sale price at $9,600.

The sale averaged slightly more than $7,000 on 12 lots, down about $400 from last year.

Grain companies a family affair

The European and U.S. debt crises threaten to derail world economic growth. A measure of Chinese factory activity last week shows slowing growth there. For the week, the Toronto composite fell 3.6 percent, the Dow fell 4.8 percent, the S&P 500 fell 4.7 percent and the Nasdaq fell 5.1 percent.

Will family owned businesses be at risk under new marketing system?

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Why is the prairie grain industry dominated by century-old familyowned grain companies?

“It’s a good question, isn’t it,” said Bill Parrish, whose family has coowned the Parrish and Heimbecker grain company for 102 years.

“I don’t know. You don’t really see it in other industries.”

But with the grain marketing situation in Canada changing radically with the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly, some wonder whether foreign grain companies will swoop into the Prairies and gobble up Canadian companies.

A foreign company looking to buy its way into Canada in a big way would either have to buy publicly traded Viterra or one of the family owned and operated firms: Paterson GlobalFoods, Parrish and Heimbecker or Richardson International.

None of them has shown obvious signs of wanting to get out of the business. Parrish said it’s not in his company’s strategic plan.

“We always keep all our options open, but we’re generally not interested,” said Parrish. “It doesn’t seem to make much sense for us.”

Andrew Paterson, owner of Paterson GlobalFoods, said his company began in 1908 and is not for sale.

“It’s going to continue being a Canadian family business.

“As far as foreign companies are concerned, that’s fine, tell them to come in and build their own assets and we’ll compete head to head. I have no concerns.”

Family owned companies are different corporate beasts than publicly traded companies and co-operatives. The latter two usually have complex management systems and large bureaucratic and regulatory commitments to defined governance models.

Paul MacDonald, executive director of the Canadian Association of

Family Enterprise, said family companies have advantages that allow them to do better and last longer than other types of companies. However, there are also disadvantages.

“If the tools aren’t in place, they can implode,” said MacDonald, whose organization helps families running companies to organize succession planning, strategic planning and intra-family communication.

MacDonald said the widespread belief that family businesses don’t survive multiple generations isn’t true of many big family companies.

However, companies can disintegrate if the family vision isn’t passed down to succeeding generations.

“I think (success) comes from instilling the family values, instilling the family vision, instilling the family priorities and plan in the kids from an early age,” said MacDonald.

“It’s, ‘you’re in the family and you’ve got to continue the family tradition.’ ” The Richardson family has an annual gathering of its scattered members, at which they tackle vision reinforcing and strategic planning.

Many family-dominated companies in the grain business, whether Canadian or foreign such as Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, have had senior managers and officers from multiple generations of the family.

MacDonald said having the family name on a business often motivates owners to take it more seriously.

“There’s a sense of passion, of passion for the family business,” said MacDonald.

From that comes personal sacrifice and a drive to succeed.

All three of the Winnipeg-based grain companies contain their owners’ family names, as is true of other well-known agricultural companies, such as Simplot and McCain.

MacDonald said family-run businesses are able to make fast decisions and act boldly. As well, they don’t have to keep shareholders happy on a quarter-to-quarter basis, which allows them to focus on the longrange vision.

How these factors play into the post-CWB world remains to be seen.

Parrish said foreign companies have started operating on the Prairies before and then left after a few years, as with ConAgra, or remained mod-

Both companies entered with large elevator building projects.

Parrish thinks this time foreign companies might prefer to use existing grain elevator networks rather than build from scratch.

“You always have the risk of overcapacity, so probably it would make sense for them to either buy someone or try to get some kind of alliance,” he said.

When Bunge’s world and North American chief executive officers were in Winnipeg this fall, they showed interest in moving into Canada’s cereal grains business after the

CWB’s control disappears.

However, they also said Bunge doesn’t need to buy a company to be active. They often form partnerships with existing grain companies to serve their needs.

Parrish didn’t know why the grain industry seems to be dominated by family companies. Perhaps it is the relatively low-tech nature of the industry, which doesn’t force radical changes every few years.

However, his family has been happy to keep with it generation after generation.

“I guess it’s not a fad business,” said Parrish with a laugh.

SUCCESSION | PLANNING

What if there is no successor to take over the family farm?

PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

M

any farm families are faced with the prospect that none of the children are interested in farming. They can be interested in the farm, but not in farming.

In the past, the common practice when a family had no successor was to sell the farm. While this is still an option and a reality, other options are also being considered.

Succession planning with an intergenerational transfer of ownership and management is really a form of business continuity planning. What would be the purpose of working through a business continuity planning process if there were no farming children? The answer is one of the topics that differs today from typical succession planning discussions in the past.

There are a couple of reasons why a farm family may want to explore

ways to have the farm business continue after the current generation officially retires.

One reason would be when the non-farming children want to keep ownership of the farm as a going concern as opposed to selling off the assets or renting them.

The recent turmoil in the money markets have caused some people, including non-farming children, to rethink investment strategies.

Many non-farming children have investments in registered pension plans and registered retirement savings plans. They ask themselves, “why would I want to sell off farm assets and invest yet more money into what could be risky investments, with only modest returns?” They may

feel it’s better to maintain an investment in a hard and usually appreciating asset, such as land or shares in a farm business.

For an increasing number of these non-farming children, with the farm business being quite profitable, there is a good return from continuing to operate the business as opposed to renting.

This would require arm’s length management that is usually a new arrangement and requires careful planning.

Another reason is the desire to keep the farm in the family as an operating unit in case the grandchildren might want to farm at some point. With farms becoming larger and capital investment increasing, the likeli-

hood is high that selling the farm will make it virtually impossible for a next generation to become farmers, at least in the context of farming as it is now understood.

Even the option of retaining ownership, renting for a period of time, and restarting operations at some point may be problematic in terms of a next generation returning to farm.

The thinking here is to look for ways to keep the business operating and advantageously positioned so there is at least an option for grandchildren to consider.

A key consideration with this is the financial ability of the farm’s business to be able to employ a manager, while also providing adequate retirement cash flow. Economies of scale

can be an issue.

For example, I’ve talked to a couple of farmers in the past few weeks who are wondering if and how a joint venture might help them in capturing the economies of scale needed to retain ownership.

Joint ventures is a completely different topic, but the point is there are options that can be considered if there is a desire to have the farm business continue.

Is it succession planning? Perhaps not in a traditional sense, but yes it is, and business continuity planning as well.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (Reuters) — Deere & Co. has reported a 46 percent rise in quarterly earnings and projected substantial growth for 2012 amid strong global farming conditions and higher prices.

The world’s largest farm machinery maker said hefty farm incomes are expected to be stable in 2012.

Demand for agricultural commodities will remain high.

Deere posted net income of $669 million US for the fourth quarter that ended Oct. 31, compared with $457 million a year earlier. Revenue rose 20 percent to $8.61 billion.

The company exceeded analyst expectations in the quarter on strong agricultural and turf equipment sales that offset a slightly disappointing result on construction and forestry margins.

Equipment sales rose 14 percent in the United States and Canada, while sales outside the region grew at more than twice that pace, posting a 31 percent equipment sales rise.

Deere’s net income reached a record $2.8 billion for full-year 2011, and the company generated $3.6 billion in cash flow from operations.

It projects 2012 net income at $3.2 billion.

Deere said it plans to more tightly manage inventory of combines, which is a closely watched indicator of company health.

“Our success reflects a continued pattern of strong customer response to our innovative lines of equipment,” said chief executive officer Samuel Allen.

Deere remains well positioned to carry out its extensive growth plans and capitalize on positive long-term economic trends, he added.

4-H youth discovers science’s pivotal role From the lab to the farm | Delegates learn from industry leaders

BY CAROLYN BLACK FREELANCE WRITER

Not enough Canadian youth have sufficient knowledge of science and technology and its pivotal role in everyday lives, said Sue Walker of the Canadian 4-H Council.

“We chose the science and technology theme for this year’s (national 4-H members) conference because the government of Canada has identified that. Therefore, we wanted to showcase how it plays a role in agriculture and food production,” she said.

The conference, which ran from Nov. 2–6 in Toronto and hosted 90 delegates from 10 provinces, the United States and the United Kingdom, explored topics from robotics to chemistry and included trips to the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre and the University of Guelph.

Jasmin Hofer, chief executive officer of Energrow Inc., told youth the importance of learning by doing.

“Do what you’re afraid to,” she said.

When facing down fears, they will acquire the skills and knowledge they need to become successful, said Hofer.

“I always wanted to start my own company, but had just never gotten the right idea to inspire me. Then it came, actually from a simple project that started with my dad.”

After seeing how self-sufficient a farm with its own oilseed press system could be during a trip to Europe, she helped her father design and set

JASMIN HOFER ENERGROW INC.

up a system for their dairy farm in Ontario.

She called Energrow systems an example of emerging and innovative technology that will make an impact in the future of farming.

“It’s science and technology that grew in our own backyards,” she said.

Hofer said many participants were eager to tour research stations and hoped to end up working there in future.

Health benefits Susan Tosh, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada and a former 4-H member, explained her research on how soluble fibre reduces LDL cholesterol and prevents blood glucose spikes after meals.

That helps her determine the best ways to process oat and barley to take full advantage of their health benefits.

“Growing up on a farm, I was a member of the beef calf club and the homemaking club and it influenced my choice of careers,” said Tosh.

“I told the 4-H members that I enjoy

my job because I love the sense of discovery that each new research project brings and I feel that I am making a contribution to Canadian society.”

Delegates also attended presentations on the development of droughtresistant genes in plants, participated in a taste-testing of two different varieties of apples and learned about how cultural changes in food are leading to new production opportunities for producers.

The latest Deere tractors were available for test drives and attendees saw a presentation on Climate Project Canada.

Delegates also chose from several workshops, including one called Engineers Without Borders.

EWB is an international group of engineers, students, overseas volunteer staff and Canadian supporters who work with local organizations and communities in Africa.

Its work is focused on helping rural Africans access clean water, infrastructure and services and generate an income from small farms.

Walker said this conference’s format differed from past years because only 4-H members attended. 4-H leaders are attending their own conference separately in Alberta in January.

“We decided it would be more beneficial for the leaders to have their own dedicated conference and to have its location rotate across Canada to ensure that more leaders could attend and share best practices.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

SASKATCHEWAN FARM INJURY PROJECT | RESEARCH

Long work days linked to higher farm injury rates Study spawns further investigation of farm safety | Farming among most dangerous occupations in Canada

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

VANCOUVER — Longer hours at work on the farm result in a higher rate of injury, a two-year study of Saskatchewan farms found.

Researcher William Pickett, a health sciences professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., said the farm and its inherent hazards also account for accidents.

“If things are dangerous and people are working long work hours, they have higher rates of injury,” said Pickett, who presented the Saskatchewan Farm Injury Project study to the

Canadian Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion conference in Vancouver Nov. 17.

“Farming is among the most dangerous occupations in Canada, which is why we’re studying it,” he said in an interview.

He suggested solutions lie in sound occupational health and safety practices related to long work hours, focusing on the physical hazards common on most farms and behavioural changes to reduce risks.

The study surveyed 5,502 rural Saskatchewan residents from 2,422 farms.

It reported 450 farm injuries requiring medical treatment ranging from

WILLIAM PICKETT RESEARCHER

minor injuries to trauma for 370 individuals on 338 farms from 2007-09.

It has spawned other research on the amount of work done by older farmers and how their work changes with age, the large proportion of undiagnosed sleep disorders in farmers and the effect of long work

hours on farm families, children and injury rates.

In a recent Wisconsin study, recreational activities accounted for hearing loss in youth on farms, particularly repetitive gun sightings.

Pickett next plans to assess the health and injury incidence of rural and farm children in Saskatchewan.

A 2005 study showed that fatalities in children rank second behind farmeroperators. More than half of the child fatalities were toddlers, most often the result of being run over, falling from equipment or drowning.

“The hidden epidemic on farms is the little guys,” said Pickett.

SASKATCHEWAN FARM INJURY PROJECT FINDINGS: • Males aged 40 to 69 were most frequently injured.

• More than 91 percent of injuries occurred during farm work.

• Treatment by medical practitioners was required for 64 percent of injuries and hospitalization was required for six percent.

• Machines were involved in 44 percent of injuries, animals in 28 percent and falls accounted for 24 percent.

ON THE FARM | RANCH FED BEEF

Raising grass fed cattle placates vegetarians Hormone free | Family pleased animals are raised on grass without antibiotics

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

NANTON, Alta. — Linda Loree, a vegetarian for nearly 40 years, has started a successful beef business from her southern Alberta ranch.

“I have been vegetarian and really health oriented all my life,” she said.

“I was raising all these cattle and they had to go to the feedlot. I was doing it because I wanted to keep the family ranch together, but I wasn’t feeling terrific about it.”

Four years ago, she conceived the idea of marketing grass-fed beef carrying the ranch name, Trail’s End. She approached her daughter and son-in-law, Rachel and Tyler Herbert, and they formed a partnership.

Rachel has also been a vegetarian for most of her life.

“Now that I am hands on and know they have an ideal life and good end, it is the most sustainable way to eat.

You can grow it yourself. There is grass here that is supposed to be eaten by herbivores,” she said.

The Trails End Grass Fed Beef business has soared and cannot keep up with demand.

Rachel and Linda handle much of the marketing and beef orders, while Tyler, who grew up on a mixed farm at Neil burg, Sask., has the cow sense.

Cattle are on the Pfizer Gold health program and receive no growth hormones. Antibiotics are only used to treat disease. He considers a herd health program to be good animal welfare.

Pursuing a program like this allows the young couple to ranch on their own place south of Nanton. Since the operation is still growing, Tyler continues to work off the farm for an oilfield company but dreams of expanding to the point where he and Rachel and their two toddlers, William and Avery, can ranch full time.

“It is pretty tough to make a go of it on a small scale with traditional livestock, especially in this part of the country,” he said.

“With the grass-fed beef, you eliminate the middlemen and you can make a little bit more from that.”

He also prefers this lifestyle for his children, who are the fifth generation on Trail’s End Ranch.

Loree and Rachel are descended from Fred Ings, who started the OH Ranch west of High River, Alta., in 1883, and then the Midway, Sunset and Trail’s End ranches in the early 1900s.

Fred’s wife, Edith, continued ranching after his death in the 1930s and ran a guest ranch at Trail’s End until the 1950s. The guesthouse is still standing and is part of the home quarter Linda inherited in 2003.

It has native and domestic grass, willow brush and streams and was cross-fenced for rotational grazing, which is supplemented with electric fence.

Rachel grew up in Calgary and spent weekends and summers at the ranch. She was a competitive show jumper and groom and met Tyler at a horseman’s clinic. They married

seven years ago and bought their place in 2007.

They started selling their beef to friends and neighbours and built up a specialized customer base through word of mouth. Some customers are on special diets, others have ethical or environmental concerns and others prefer grass-fed traditional beef and are willing to pay more.

Catering to customers The ranch’s website, with the brand name Trail’s End Beef, also captures new customers, mostly from Calgary who are looking for local, grass-fed beef. This is the first year the family offered specific cuts rather than quarters, halves and a full carcass.

Their customers share their philosophy.

“They don’t care if it is tough, and they are surprised to discover it is tender and delicious. It is going to taste like beef, only more so,” said Linda.

They invite customers to visit the ranch and have found their customers want to meet the rancher who grew the beef.

“It is not so much about the history,

even though we have a chance to talk about it. It is more that people want to meet us,” said Rachel.

Added Loree: “There are a growing number of people who are well read and well educated. They know exactly what they are looking for.”

Many customers have started vegetable gardens and some follow a paleolithic diet of nuts, fruit, vegetables and pasture raised meat. They do not eat processed food.

The family uses a black Angus bull and culled their original cow herd based on the performance of the calves once they were on the hook.

They now need more heifers and are looking for yearlings to fill the growing beef demand.

Tyler wants more genetic improvement in the herd. He’s looking for cattle that gain well on grass and still produce a carcass with an acceptable grade.

They have worked with several provincial processors and request the carcass descriptions so they can track yield, grades and fat cover. The cattle never receive grain and have graded AA and AAA. They are slaughtered at 26 to 28 months of age.

Tyler and Rachel are also interested

in learning holistic management techniques to reclaim rundown pastures. Tyler wants to study what the forage-based program does to carcass quality compared to grain-fed beef.

“We tried to see if there were any differences finishing on native grass as opposed to tame grass,” he said.

“As long as we can keep them gaining and keep them on that fresh grass, keeping that weight gain going is key.”

They have made animal welfare changes ever y year since they started. They stopped branding three years ago, although they have a registered brand based on Rachel’s

brother’s initials, cpl. Nathan Hornburg, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2007.

They introduced fence line weaning to lower stress among the calves.

They also want to use processors who know how to handle cattle before slaughter.

Loree and the Herberts are avid horse people, and Rachel gives children’s riding lessons at their place.

She has also pursued her love of English and local history by completing her master’s degree .

Her thesis was on frontier period ranching women in southern Alberta, based partly on her family’s history.

She is now looking for a publisher.

NUTS | HEALTH BENEFITS

It’s okay to

go nuts!

A PILE OF HEALTH BENEFITS • Studies have consistently linked all kinds of nuts to a reduced risk of heart disease, largely because nuts have a favourable effect on blood cholesterol.

• Nuts may also help keep blood vessels healthy and have other cardiovascular benefits.

• Several years ago, a major study found that women who ate nuts (an ounce at least five times a week) had a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. It’s a myth that nuts increase the risk of complications of diverticulosis, which are small pouches in the intestinal wall that can become infected.

• When entertaining holiday guests, make sure that no one has nut allergies before adding them to a dish.

Nut garnishes are a good way to add nuts to meals, such as almonds to a spinach mandarin orange salad or chopped pecans to mashed yams. Offer guests nuts in the shell with nut crackers or dishes of nuts. Almond biscotti is a nice nut-filled treat to serve with coffee. | BETTY ANN DEOBALD PHOTO

5. Which nuts are the best source of omega-3 fats?

5. (d) Walnuts are richest in heart healthy alpha-linolenic acid, an omega 3 fatty acid related to those found in fish.

(a) pecans (b) cashews (c) hazelnuts (d) walnuts

N

uts are a popular snack during the holiday season, whether fresh in the shell or in a salted or unsalted mixture. They are often part of Christmas baking or added as a garnish to salads or entrées.

Nuts add taste and texture to food, but did you also know they are a healthy addition to our diets?

Try these questions to test your knowledge. Some have more than one correct answer.

1. What substances in nuts may explain their health benefits? (a) unsaturated fats (b) potassium (c) arginine (d) fibre

6. True or false? Nut butters have the same nutritional advantage as nuts.

7. True or false? Almond and peanut skins are good for you.

8. How many brazil nuts does it take to meet the daily recommended intake for selenium? (a) 1 (b) 5 (c) 10 (d) 25 9. True or false? Almonds help you meet your calcium needs.

10. To get the health benefits of nuts, how much do you need to eat? (a) ½ ounce a day (b) 1 to 3 ounces a day (c) 2 ounces a week (d) about a handful or two a day ANSWERS:

2. Which nuts are highest in fat and calories? (a) almonds (b) macadamia nuts (c) walnuts (d) chestnuts 3. True or false? Nut eaters tend to weigh more.

4. True or false? Nuts are high in sodium.

access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

6. True, but some commercial nut butters contain trans fat because of the partially hydrogenated vegetable oil added to keep the nut oil from separating. Even though the amount of trans fat is tiny, no amount is healthy.

Many nut butters also have added sugar and salt. Check the ingredient list label on the container.

1. All are correct. At least three-quarters of the calories in nuts come from fat, mostly monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat that improves blood cholesterol levels. They also contain potassium, copper, magnesium, soluble fibre, arginine, which is an amino acid that helps relax blood vessels, sterols, which also help lower cholesterol, and phytochemicals, which have antioxidant effects.

2. (b) Macadamia nuts have 205 calories per ounce and 21 grams of fat (17 grams unsaturated).

Chestnuts have the least — 70 calories and one gram of fat.

Other nuts range in calories from 160 to 200 and have 14 to 19 grams of fat. Dry roasted nuts have as many calories as oil-roasted.

3. False. Studies show that people who eat nuts regularly tend to weigh less than those who don’t, or at least they don’t weigh more.

The protein, fat and fibre in nuts help make you feel full longer, so you are less hungry, and presumably eat less.

Some studies also suggest that nuts may slightly increase calorie burning, while other research has found that some of the fat in nuts may not be absorbed by the body.

4. False. Nuts naturally contain little or no sodium, but salt is usually added in processing so that an ounce of nuts can contain 200 milligrams of sodium or more. Unsalted varieties are widely available.

7. True. Though you’re not likely to get much, the skin contains antioxidant compounds and fibre. Almond skins, for example, are rich in flavonoids, including catechins. Research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Almond Board of California found that these compounds in the nut skin interact with vitamin E in the nuts to protect LDL (bad) cholesterol against oxidation. Oxidized LDL is more damaging to arteries.

requirement, which is 50 micrograms.

Don’t eat too many, however, because a safe upper limit for selenium is only 400 micrograms a day for adults.

Doses of more than 1,000 micrograms a day can cause nausea, vomiting, hair loss and other problems.

9. True. Almonds contain the most calcium of all nuts, 74 milligrams per ounce, which is nearly eight percent of the daily recommended amount.

10. (b) and (d) Studies have generally found benefits in people eating one to three ounces of nuts a day. For example, people who ate about two ounces of nuts a day had a seven percent decrease in LDL (bad) cholesterol.

A handful of nuts is about an ounce.

PHILANTHROPY | 4-H

Country artist sings 4-H’s praises Giving back | Christmas album available only through Canadian clubs

BY SUSAN HODGES FREELANCE WRITER

Canadian country music artist Gord Bamford is one 4-H alumni who puts his money where his mouth is.

Bamford, who started in 4-H beef when he was 14, attributes his time as a 4-H member to some of his success as an award winning country music artist.

“You are taking pretty much a wild animal and are raising that animal, teaching it to lead and keeping records on it. It is a great life learning experience on that end, but it also teaches a lot of life skills through public speaking and all sorts of things 4-H has to offer,” said Bamford.

“I know for myself I didn‘t realize the benefits when I was younger, but it has definitely been a big help to me in today’s business world. A lot of the skills I learned through 4-H, I now utilize in my business and career.”

Bamford encourages families who are searching for an activity for their children to take a look at a local 4-H club.

“It is such a great program. It doesn’t seem to be as big as when I was a kid, but we are definitely trying to make people aware of what a great program it is,” said Bamford, whose sister is still involved in 4-H as an assistant leader.

“If you put a resume out there and you say you are involved in 4-H, I know that it makes a big difference for a lot of people.”

Bamford said senior members are a major reason for 4-H’s importance.

“You would look up to the senior members a lot,” said Bamford, who grew up on a farm near Lacombe, Alta.

“As we moved up and the junior members came in, you would try to in turn teach them the skills you had learned from the older members when you were younger. It is like anything in life: the younger kids always look up to the older kids.”

Bamford still shares a desire to give back to the younger generation.

He established the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation for youth organizations and organizes a golf tournament fundraiser.

“I think it is way more (successful) than what we thought it would ever become. It is approaching the $800,000 mark in total money raised right now,” said Bamford.

“We didn’t know if people would show up. We didn’t know what was going to happen, but it just exploded and now we are going into year five.

“It sells out in 24 hours and is one of the premier golf tournaments in Western Canada. We raised $275,000 this year and it has just turned into something you never thought it would. The most encouraging part is that 80 percent of participants have been with us from day one.”

Bamford then turned his focus on 4-H and developed a program that donates money to 4-H clubs.

“It is starting to really catch on with 4-H clubs right across Canada,” he said. “I know the clubs who have been taking part in it have been very happy and successful with it. We give them back half the proceeds from the concert so it is a pretty big fundraiser.”

A lot of the skills I learned through 4-H, I now utilize in my business and career.

GORD BAMFORD SINGER

This year, 4-Hers sang with him on stage during the concert.

Bamford changed things up a bit this year with the release of a Christmas album.

“The Christmas album isn’t available in stores but exclusively available for 4-H. Basically the CDs sell for $20 and the 4-H club gets $10 out of each sale. They get to keep $5 for their club and then they have to donate the other $5 back to an organization in their community,” said Bamford.

“It teaches them to give back as well as reap the rewards of selling the CDs and raising money for their club. Last year, we didn’t do that, but 4-H is all about learning to do by doing so this teaches them about giving back to their community.”

BLADDER INFECTION | FEVER

PREVENTING SEXUAL ABUSE | SAFETY MEASURES

Fever can Forming buddy system will help keep abusers at bay cause person SPEAKING OF LIFE to hallucinate JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

Last week, I had a bladder infection, cystitis, and this made me have a fever. I had night sweats and was shaking all over.

I was convinced that there was someone in the room, sort of a ghost.

I did not recognize the person, but there was no sign of anyone breaking in and the doors were locked. The ghost did not speak or make any noise at all, such as footsteps. When I looked again, it was gone.

Is this some sort of hallucination?

Am I going crazy? This has not happened since.

My wife and I have a beautiful 15-year-old daughter.

Apart from my obvious bias, we know that other people also find her attractive because of the number of calls she gets from older boys trying to date her, from the rodeo organization asking her to participate on the main float in our annual parade and

A:

Your concerns about your daughter are perfectly valid.

Some statistics on sexual abuse claim one in four women have either been raped or attacked. Thirty-eight percent of the women who report sexual abuse are young girls between 14 and 17. Therefore, your daughter needs to develop safe habits.

Women living in the country are as

going on around her.

She will do better if she leaves a party before drugs and alcohol get out of hand. Seventy-five percent of men guilty of attacking women were taking either drugs or alcohol.

Your daughter and her friends should develop a buddy system to check on one another while at a function. Buddy systems also run interference with isolation. Those who would likely try to abuse your daughter will do what they can to get her away from the heart of the action.

But that will not happen if she and her friends are checking in with each other regularly.

M A S S E Y F E R G U S O N C O M B I N E S : T H E N E X T G E N E R AT I O N

A:

When a person asks me if they are going crazy, it usually means that they are perfectly sane.

Mentally ill people, on the other hand, often have little or no insight into their condition and are convinced that what they are experiencing is real.

Once they have been successfully treated with the appropriate medications, they may then understand that they were suffering from hallucinations or delusions.

A hallucination is defined as a sensory perception for which there is no external stimulus. Sometimes they can be quite normal.

If they occur when a person is just falling asleep, in the state between sleep and wakefulness, they are known as hypnagogic hallucinations.

Toxic hallucinations or delirium can occur when a person is ill, perhaps with a high fever or due to certain drugs, legal or illegal.

Some people can hallucinate after a bereavement. As part of a severe grief reaction, they can hear the loved one’s footsteps on the driveway or see them sitting in a favourite chair.

I think you were having toxic hallucinations caused by a sudden rise in body temperature as a result of your urinary tract infection.

Just to be on the safe side, you may want to get checked out for thyroid disease or autoimmune diseases, which can have an effect on the brain.

The doctor should also rule out neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s or multiple sclerosis.

He should also check out any medications you are taking.

vulnerable to rape as are those who live in larger cities.

The problem is that we often do not know what is going on in our own communities. About 40 percent of the women who have been sexually abused do not report it.

Your daughter needs to learn to be careful regardless of who she is with or where she is.

Seventy-five to 80 percent of the women who are sexually abused knew their assailants before they were attacked. Fifty seven percent of them were on dates with their attackers. Your daughter should never be alone with anyone other than those who clearly respect her.

To protect herself, your daughter should always be aware of what is

from various theatre clubs offering her lead roles in community drama.

Our concern is that our daughter is too naïve and perhaps too trusting, and I am worried that she may not protect herself from sexual abusers when she eventually moves to the city. What can we do to help our girl learn to protect herself?
