WEATHER | 2011 IN REVIEW
A recent discovery at the University of California, Riverside, could help researchers develop new droughttolerant crops. The work coming out of Sean Cutler’s laboratory is still new, but it may provide the agriculture industry with a blueprint for further innovations that allow farmers worldwide to get the most out of crops growing under less-than-ideal conditions. A plant that encounters drought tries to cope with the stress by ceasing growth and reducing water loss and consumption. In short, it has a defence mechanism to help it survive the stress. Cutler’s team has discovered how to heighten that response. “If we want to feed the 10 billion people that we’re going to have in the near future, we need to be actively making discoveries like this that create new options down the line,” said Cutler, an associate professor of plant cell biology at the university. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
Rain, tornadoes, wind | Manitoba’s ‘flood that wouldn’t end’ tops the weather event list BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
It will come as no surprise to Manitoba and Saskatchewan farmers that last year’s floods ranked as the number one weather event of 2011. In his 16th annual listing of Canada’s top 10 weather events, Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips said he could have compiled 10 top weather stories from this event alone. “It was like the flood that wouldn’t end,” he said. “It was the winter flood that became the spring flood
that became the summer flood.” Phillips said water levels on Manitoba’s Assiniboine River reached one in 330 year levels, and the high water on Lake Manitoba was a one in 2,100 year event. A record number of acres were flooded and various levels of government spent nearly $1 billion fighting spreading waters and compensating victims. That was part of the cost that made 2011 the second most expensive year ever recorded in terms of insurance payouts and damage. The most expensive was 1998, when Eastern Canada was hit with an ice storm.
Number two on the 2011 weather list, the fire that devastated Slave Lake, Alta., accounted for $700 million in payouts and another $400 in uninsured losses. “The insurance industry actually says that this is probably the largest number of private homes lost from a single event in Canadian history,” Phillips said. “And what we do know is that this is the second most expensive disaster in Canadian history from an insurance point of view.” Arson is indicated as the cause of the disaster, but Phillips said dry conditions and strong winds contributed to its scope.
The May 15 fire was followed several weeks later by 17 consecutive days of rain. The 200 millimetres that fell were followed three weeks after that by another 100 mm. “They thought it was biblical. I mean, fires and floods and where were the locusts? That’s what the thinking was.” Agriculture was the primary beneficiary of the number four event on the list : the cool and wet prairie spring that transformed into a hot summer and long, warm harvest season. Phillips referred to it as “doom to boom.” SEE MOTHER NATURE, PAGE 2

Mother Nature goes wild in 2011

JANUARY 5, 2012 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCER
Mother Nature goes wild As a nasty winter turned into a cool wet spring in 2011, farmers were concerned about crop prospects and seeding was delayed across much of the country. “It was potentially a big hit, billions of dollars on the economy of the West,” he said. “Then a remarkable thing happened. Someone turned the faucet off. Summer came.” The long, hot autumn allowed crops to mature and harvest to be completed without major losses. The year was also notable for the unusual summer. “This summer, depending upon where you live, was the summer of summers for middle Canada and was really disappointing for the coasts, where summer came but it seemed to be after Labour Day.” Summer’s heat was a result of a huge dome of air trapped over 40 U.S. states and the four central provinces. Ontario recorded many record highs and people in and near Winnipeg were ecstatic, Phillips said. “You couldn’t say anything nasty
about the summer in Winnipeg. Even the mosquitoes left town and went to Edmonton, and the Jets came home.” The most troubling weather event on the list, from a long-term and global perspective, was the record low Arctic sea ice, said Phillips. “In 2011, we saw the sea ice extent … diminish to its second lowest in 50 years. We saw the volume of ice to be its lowest ever, eight percent lower than it was the previous year.” Number 10 on the list was high winds in Alberta in November. Though southwestern Alberta is known as one of the windiest places in Canada, speeds recorded during Grey Cup week were noteworthy. Phillips said wind reached speeds of more than 144 km/h and there was an unconfirmed report of 200 km/h in Pincher Creek. Part of downtown Calgary was shut down when the wind blew out window glass in high-rises. Damage across southern Alberta is still being tallied.
RESEARCH | FROM PAGE ONE
Breeders to ramp up stress fighters The research builds on previous studies into abscisic acid, a stress hormone triggered when a plant encounters drought. In 2009, Cutler assisted in the discovery of abscisic acid receptors, which are activated by the hormone and control a plant’s response to drought. “The receptor is like the conductor,” said Cutler. “It controls the whole orchestra that does all these responses.” With that knowledge Cutler went to work “supercharging” the plant’s stress response, modifying these receptors so that they can be turned on at will and locked in their “on” state to improve stress tolerance. “If you can modify the plant so that it lasts just a few days longer under conditions of drought than other varieties, then when the water does come back — when the rain does return — you can improve the amount of yield that the farmer gets out at the end of the day,” said Cutler. The results of his study , which was funded by the National Science Foundation and Syngenta Biotechnology, were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in December. Cutler’s team examined Arabidop-
sis, a close relative of canola and a plant beneficial to researchers because it grows quickly, but he said the research is applicable to all plants. “These hormones and the ways that plants cope with these stresses are shared by all plants,” said Cutler. “So new information from corn can be relevant for wheat. New information from canola or our plant … can be extremely informative for the crops that farmers care about.” Cutler said it will be many years, if ever, before the research hits the field. The team still has to show that supercharging these responses will improve yields in crop plants. “But we’ve shown that we know how to do that, and other work has shown that supercharging by other tricks can improve yield,” Cutler said. “And so we’re moving toward that next step.” Other research, including drought tolerant corn developed by Monsanto and BASF, is further along the pipeline. “The goal is not to turn corn or wheat into a cactus-like plant. It’s to broaden the range of environments it can be productive in and maximize the yield when conditions aren’t ideal,” said Cutler.

Weather woes
Above normal spring runoff predicted for Saskatchewan
Farmers across the Prairies grappled with rain, floods and hail in 2011 as they struggled to put a crop in the ground. Many simply couldn’t get seeds in at all. Western Producer reporters talked to farmers and weather experts to see what happened, and what the forecast is for 2012.
BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
A trivia game about Saskatchewan would inevitably include questions about the weather, and a good question for 2011 might be: which part of the province received the most rain? Many areas were flooded and soggy, but Stockholm and surrounding area received the most precipitation. The region received 617 millimetres of rain between April 1 and Oct. 10, according to the provincial crop report. The Bengough area was second highest at 609 mm while Ceylon received 575 mm. Arlynn Kurtz, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Fertile Belt, was worried six weeks into the growing season when one-third of that rainfall had already fallen and repair costs had already exceeded $1 million. Further south, Coalfields reeve Stan Lainton didn’t turn a wheel in 2011. In early December, he said the RM was still grappling with washouts and road repair. The fact that many farmers couldn’t get to their fields contributed to the estimated 6.2 million acres that weren’t seeded. Another 2.2 million acres were subsequently flooded out. The dry, long fall that followed may prove to be a godsend for southeastern Saskatchewan. Doug Johnson, director of regional services for the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, said fall conditions were better than they were in 2010. “We have moist soil conditions (and) sloughs are full, but I don’t think we’re in the same situation as 2010,” he said at a November meeting. But even with normal snow pack, runoff will be above normal next spring. How that affects farming operations remains to be seen. Farmers in southeastern Saskatchewan took advantage of the fall to seed more winter wheat and fall rye. Acreage increased 74 percent and 13 percent, respectively. Total seeded acreage in the province in 2011 was about a million acres. Yields were generally average to above-average. Quality and grade were above the 10-year average, with downgrading caused by hail, frost, ergot and wheat midge. By fall, many regions reported that excess topsoil moisture had dried up. Fifteen percent of cropland was considered to have surplus moisture in the southeast, while six percent was short. That compared to two percent excess and six percent very short in the southwest, three percent surplus and three percent very short in eastcentral, and one percent surplus and 10 percent very short in west-central. The northern regions reported no surplus moisture. The northwest reported eight percent very short and the northeast reported 24 percent short. The area that saw the least precipitation was Lake Lenore with 149 mm, followed by Maple Creek at 174 mm.

Soggy spring; unseeded acres a record BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
It’s a given that prairie folk love to talk about the weather. But in 2011, the never-ending talk of rain, floods and extreme heat was too much for most Manitobans to bear. “It’s day after day. It’s not just the farm, it’s your basement … and the sirens going off in town because they need sandbaggers again,” Andy Barclay, who farms north of Souris, Man., said in June. “It just gets tiring. That’s all anyone talks about day after day is the flood and the rain.” Like dozens of producers in southwestern Manitoba, Barclay failed to seed a crop last spring because his fields were inundated with water. A variety of factors combined to make 2011 an extremely wet spring for farmers: a wetter than usual 2010, above average snowfall over the winter, a wet, cool spring and a massive amount of water flowing into Manitoba from Saskatchewan and North Dakota.
The 2,400 unseeded acres on Barclay’s farm contributed to an ignominious record: Manitoba producers were unable to seed 2.9 million acres of cropland in the spring of 2011, nearly double the old record of 1.5 million acres. The results were often poor to mediocre for producers who were able to seed a crop into the soggy conditions. Canola crops around Winnipeg were particularly dreadful. Farmers near Starbuck, Man., reported yields of three to six bushels per acre because plants were unable to develop roots in the wet spring and couldn’t tap into water deeper in the soil when little to no rain fell around Winnipeg in July and August. On the positive side, the dry weather persisted into the fall, drying up most of the province’s soaked and unseeded acres. Soil moisture conditions in southwestern Manitoba are likely better than they were in 2010, when many fields were saturated going into freeze up, said Elmer Kaskiw, a Manitoba Agriculture crop production
adviser in Shoal Lake. As well, the dry weather gave producers an opportunity to cultivate land that was rutted or damaged during the spring’s extremely soft conditions. It was also a nasty year for cattle producers around Lake Manitoba. Water diverted into the lake this spring and summer from the swollen Assiniboine River caused water levels to exceed 817 feet above sea level, nearly five feet higher than the maximum regulated level for Lake Manitoba. High water pushed the lake’s shoreline outward, forcing dozens of producers around the lake to move livestock inland or relocate animals to other pastures in Western Canada. The province dug a $100 million drainage channel, which is designed to drain excess water from Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin into Lake Winnipeg. Nonetheless, Lake Manitoba water levels were still high going into winter and many cattle producers around the lake are coping with frozen ponds on feed yards, pasture and hay land. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
Dry, warm fall welcome relief for Alberta BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
The 2011 growing season got off to a slow start in Alberta, but a long fall broughtgoodtoexcellentyieldsandcrop quality across much of the province. Dry conditions in the Peace River region and wet, cool conditions in central and southern areas caused farmers early concern, but few acres were left unseeded in the final tally, said Alberta Agriculture crop specialist Neil Whatley. He said chemical companies likely had a good year because moisture conditions favoured the development of disease, such as sclerotinia and blackleg in canola, ergot and stripe rust in wheat and ascochyta blight in pulse crops, he said. However, crop quantity and quality prevailed if growers were able to apply fungicides in a timely fashion. Agriculture minister Evan Berger deemed it a successful crop year. “Through the first half of 2011, Alberta had the highest farm cash receipts in Canada, totalling $5.2 billion,” he said in December. Premier Alison Redford put agricultural exports at $6.7 billion for 2010, adding that the industr y employs about 70,000 people. Whatley said crop disease and insect specialists are still tallying the tolls taken on crops this year. Results are expected in early January. A long, open fall proved beneficial for harvest. Worries about an early frost did not materialize. Excessive moisture early in the season caused numerous problems for farmers and rural municipalities when fields and roads were inundated with surface water that was slow to drain. Brian Brewin, reeve for the Municipal District of Taber in south-central Alberta, said more than 200 roads were flooded in the MD this spring, forcing it to put infrastructure upgrading plans on hold to fix the damage. “We spent the entire year repairing back to what we had,” he said. “Our goal was to get as many roads open as we could for harvest. For the most part, we did it.” Similar work was needed in most rural municipalities across the south. Brewin said farmers’ efforts to drain land so that they could seed taxed municipal ditches that weren’t designed for heavy water drainage. Many irrigation ditches were flooded, having been designed to carry water from reservoirs to fields rather than manage excess water drainage. “It put everybody against everybody, that was the sad part this spring,” he said. “It had municipalities against municipalities, it had Alberta Transportation draining into farmers’ fields, one farmer draining into another farmer’s field and really putting people at odds against each other.” Alberta Environment reported that a large area around Grande Prairie and a pocket around Lethbridge had much above normal precipitation between May 1 and Aug. 31 with more than 130 millimetres. A swath extending from Peace River through Drayton Valley, Red Deer, Sundre and High River also had above average precipitation in excess of 110 mm in the same period. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FOOD SAFETY | CFIA LEGISLATION
New food safety rules to spur innovation: CFIA More flexible, consistent | Outcome-based system will help companies meet food safety goals, says the CFIA BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is launching the most extensive regulatory review in its 14-year history, promising more modern, industry-friendly rules. It proposes switching the emphasis from setting objectives and policing compliance to emphasizing prevention and allowing industry to reach the objectives without excessive regulatory direction. The CFIA would focus on verifying compliance. As well, it will consider whether user fees should be increased to reflect current costs of services and private benefits that flow from some regulations. At the same time, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz is promising new
food safety legislation. In a December report on food safety system improvements, he noted plans for “a new food safety bill to simplify and modernize our legislation.” Regulatory reform will be part of that drive in 2012. In a discussion paper published in late December in anticipation of discussions during the winter, the CFIA said its goals are to create new regulations that are more flexible, protect public safety and give industry enough flexibility to innovate. “Modernized regulatory frameworks will improve consistency and reduce complexity in regulation and will enhance the ability of the CFIA and regulated parties to contribute to the safety of the food supply and the protection of the animal and plant resource bases,” said the discussion paper.
I think at the end of the day it will be welcomed by producers because it will be much more predictable, more outcome-based on common principles…. BRIAN EVANS CHIEF FOOD SAFETY OFFICER
Meanwhile, companies would be told what the safety goal is but not be instructed on how they must get there. “Shifting to outcomes-based and transparent regulations aims to establish clear expectations regarding risk management outcomes to be achieved,” said the paper. “Such regulations will provide flexibility for the regulated industry to demonstrate how it is achieving the desired outcome.” Many in the agri-food industry would likely welcome proposals to
simplify often conflicting or arcane rules that flow from 13 pieces of legislation and 38 sets of regulations connected to them. However, there almost certainly will be resistance from food safety advocates and possibly unions representing CFIA employees who will argue this is a formula for putting the future of the food system even more in the hands of companies. The CFIA said regulatory reform is necessary because current regulations reflect past conditions. As well, food products and globalized trade
have changed and many current regulations stifle necessary innovation. Other jurisdictions, including the United States, are already in the midst of food regulatory review. Brian Evans, Canada’s chief food safety officer and chief veterinarian, said change is necessary and the review is part of a government-wide demand for smarter regulations. The underlying theme of the system will remain, “thou shalt not sell unsafe food,” he said. Farmers will also see a benefit. “I think at the end of the day it will be welcomed by producers because it will be much more predictable, more outcome-based on common principles and will allow industry to demonstrate how they achieve compliance without us prescriptively saying, ‘this is how we’re going to measure compliance,’ ” he said. “I believe it will make producer lives more predictable as well and of course it will affect rules on inputs as well.”

Cows take flight as fireworks light night
CPR exceeds revenue cap; CN under BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
One family’s Christmas celebration created an unexpected ruckus for neighbours Mike and Deb Butler. A family reunion was being held Christmas Eve at the church grounds less than a kilometre from the Butler ranch near Rose Prairie, 30 kilometres north of Fort St. John, B.C., when someone decided to mark the event with fireworks. That was when all heck broke loose. “These were not normal front yard fireworks,” said Deb Butler. “These came from Manitoba and they were spectacular.” The spectacle spooked 130 head of calves in a nearby pen and the stampede began. The calves bolted through the fence and took off into the night. The Butlers tried to round them up with flashlights but it was pitch black and all they could see were red eyes reflecting back at them. “I have never seen hundreds of red eyes at one time,” she said. Fortunately, a larger perimeter fence around the property prevented the animals from straying far. Some returned to the barnyard on their own while the rest had to be rounded up the next morning. The roundup was slow going because sunrise did not arrive until after 9 a.m. on the northern ranch. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The next chore was rebuilding the fence rather than opening presents. “There were eight fence posts busted off right at the ground and the fence was flattened,” she said. They had to pour hot water down the post holes to pull the broken
posts out of the cold ground and replace them with new ones. Three hours later they had a new fence and Butler had to hurry back into the house to get a turkey in the oven for 14 guests. Profuse apologies followed when
the neighbours found out what happened. However, no one was seriously hurt and all was forgiven. “We knew nobody had done this on purpose,” she said. “You think you’ve seen everything when you have been ranching as long as we have.”
’Twas the Night Before Christmas By Deb Butler ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas on our Rose Prairie farm The cattle were settled, and causing no harm Dad finally came in, and sat down for a treat As I took from the oven, some shortbread so sweet
To the shop he then ran, got four wheeler and truck We drove round the fields, livestock running amuck Red eyes by the hundred, were flashing at us, Not stopping for fences, Dad started to cuss
When off to the West there arose such a clatter We sprang to the window to see what was the matter, Then what to our wondering eyes should appear, But a fireworks display, that was so very near
We tried and we tried, in the darkness and din All efforts in vain, we could not get them in We closed all the gates, in the hopes they would keep And went back to the house, for a short night of sleep
Bombs bursting in air, what an awesome display! They lit up the sky, lustre just like mid-day They were banging and whistling, it made the house rattle Dad’s only concern was they’d frighten the cattle
The next day was Christmas, and at the first light We rounded the herd up, a beautiful sight We locked them in pens, there was much work to do Pounded posts, stapled wire, till the fence was all new
He rushed to the feed yard, so lively and quick But the cattle were missing, it just made him sick The fence was knocked down, from the mighty stampede Posts broke at the ground, a problem indeed
Our neighbours came over, apologized for the deed They just didn’t think it would cause a stampede, But I heard Dad exclaim, as they drove out of sight Merry Christmas to all, but please….No Fireworks Tonight!
The Canadian Pacific Railway exceeded its grain revenue cap for 2010-11 and must pay $1.315 million to the Western Grains Research Foundation, says the Canadian Transportation Agency. Canadian National Railway was under its CTA-calculated revenue cap. The calculations were published Dec. 22. CPR exceeded its revenue cap of $442,570,741 as calculated under a Canada Transportation Act formula based on costs, capital purchases, inflation, grain tonnage hauled and distance hauled. The railway’s grain freight revenue was $443,822,775, or $1.252 million above its allowed revenue. The CPR penalty comes with $62,000 in interest. The CTA estimates CPR hauled 14.686 million tonnes last transportation year, a nine percent and 1.46 million tonne decline from the previous year. CN took in $913,447 less than its $509, 316, 957 revenue cap based on hauling 16.44 million tonnes of prairie grain. CN grain traffic increased more than four percent and 668,000 tonnes last year, according to CTA estimates. Under legislation, grain revenue excesses are sent to the WGRF, a farmer-financed and controlled organization that funds research to help the prairie grain sector. The CTA estimates that railways hauled 31.1 million tonnes of western grain last year, a 2.5 percent decrease from 2009-10. Prairie flooding and weather-related problems that reduced yields were credited as major factors contributing to the reduced grain movement last year. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Agriculture: there’s an app for that Getting started | Weather, markets, cheap gas locations at farmers’ fingertips STORIES BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Peter Gredig is a 21st century farmer. Armed with a smartphone and a tablet computer, he monitors futures prices, elevator bids, weather forecasts, commodity news and information from agronomists, all while in the field. “If farmers can avoid sitting at a desktop, they will,” said the southern Ontario corn, soy and wheat producer. Gredig is on the cutting edge of mobile technology, both as a user and as a partner in AgNition, which consults with companies and develops applications. He said more farmers are picking up smartphones, but getting started can be intimidating because of the thousands of applications available on Blackberry, IPhone and Android phones. He suggests beginning with the basics, using the device for e-mail and to access market and weather information. From there, users can get started with consumer-assistance applications. Need to find the cheapest gas? There’s an app for that. “It’s empowering for producers,” said Gredig. “I don’t know that there’s a sector that’s going to benefit more from mobile technology than agriculture.” The list of agriculture-related apps
Farmers with smartphones will have access to thousands of applications that can help them do business better and faster. isn’t overwhelming, but it’s growing. Some keep users up to date with news and commodities, such as Alltech’s app for pork producers. Others help farmers in the field, acting as a reference for diseases or pests, while others assist producers with decision-making. For example, the AGRIplot application allows users to calculate areas plotted on a map, which are handy f o r m e a s u r i n g a c re a g e, w h i l e DuPont’s tank mix calculator helps determine the amount of product needed to treat a specific field area.
Pioneer Hi-Bred’s From the Field app keeps users current on the latest information from agronomists. “It changes the way you manage the business of your farm,” said Gredig. “I’ve yet to find a producer that if they legitimately give it a shot would ever walk away from it.” He expects more decision-making applications in the future. University of Guelph associate professor Rebecca Hallett said agriculture is ready for the technology. “I think it’s definitely something that people are beginning to embrace
and I think there’s probably a critical mass of producers with smartphones now that it makes sense to try to distribute …. information in that way rather than in some of the more traditional ways,” she said. Hallett worked with Gredig and a U of G research team to develop a Blackberry application that tells producers when to spray for soybean aphids. Gredig sees potential for developers to make better use of the smartphone’s GPS function to create apps that allow farmers to keep better records and share information. “All of those things are going to start to come together in apps that make it much easier for producers to make those critical decisions on the fly.” AgNition’s next project is ScoutDoc, an application for the IPad that allows users making field walks to chart crop and field identification details on a map as the season progresses. Gredig said producers’ only concern is the cost of the device, but he argued that it is small compared to the cost of machinery. As well, he said the greatest benefit may be the simplest one. “If you want to measure payback on these devices, efficiency with your time is probably the biggest one.” Gredig writes about mobile farming technology and reviews apps at themobilefarmer.com. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
University of Guelph researchers have developed a smartphone application to help combat soybean aphids. Aphid Advisor is the product of a research team co-led by Rebecca Hallett, an associate professor at the Ontario university’s School of Environmental Sciences. The program goes a step further than other ag-related apps because it takes field-tested research and provides producers with a platform to apply that knowledge. In other words, it will tell farmers when to spray their fields. “It’s on the cutting edge. Those applications will get better and better,” said Peter Gredig of AgNition, who worked with Hallett to develop the app. Aphids can take over a plant, resulting in plant stunting and lower yields. An effective and well-timed pesticide application is key to managing the population, but so too are the creature’s natural predators. And that’s what Hallett’s research team set out to measure beginning in 2006. Producers are advised to keep aphid populations to an average of 250 per plant. Hallett’s research adds another number into the mix that can assist producers. “We decided to incorporate the impact of natural enemies into the action threshold and developed what we call a dynamic action threshold, so the actual value at which you decide to spray changes,” said Hallett. Aphids have many predators in the field and they each consume different amounts of aphids. The researchers used this information to create the natural enemy unit, which measures how many aphids are consumed in total on an average day. Enter the smartphone application. Users input two pieces of information: the average number of aphids per plant and the number of predators per plant. The application helps users identify the different types of predators and calculates the natural enemy unit. Hallet said combining these two pieces of information can challenge the previous practice of simply spraying at a threshold of 250 and help time pesticide application appropriately. Spraying could be delayed or even avoided if the app determines that there are enough natural enemies to keep the aphid population in check. This would save the producer pesticides and money and preserve the natural enemy population. Hallett said research shows that the new threshold can produce the same yields as the conventional one. The team’s work was completed last year and the smartphone application was beta tested this year. Weather is the only complicating factor because aphid population growth depends on temperature. Aphid Advisor makes recommendations based on 30-year temperature averages for southern Ontario. Hallett hopes a new version, which is expected to be ready next year, can download temperature forecasts for a specific region. Aphid Advisor is available for download at www.aphidapp.com. “We’re certainly hoping this will reach more people,” said Hallett. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Will farmers hold crop into new year? Attractive new crop price | Open market bids for 2012-13 top current wheat board price offerings BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Farmers have a strong incentive to hold old crop wheat over into the new crop year, says a risk management specialist, which will create marketing and logistical headaches. John De Pape, who publishes the CWB Monitor online commentary, said Viterra was bidding $7.40 per bushel for No. 1 CWRS 13.5 wheat new crop delivery in Saskatchewan on the day following royal assent of Bill C-18. The Canadian Wheat Board’s Pool Return Outlook for the same wheat is $6.63 per bu. basis Saskatchewan and its fixed price contract for that wheat was $6.19 per bu. as of Dec. 16. “The price that Viterra offered gives a large incentive to sell old crop wheat into a new crop position,” said De Pape in a recent commentary. A grower could receive an additional 77 cents per bu. over selling
into the 2011-12 pool and $1.21 per bu. over the fixed price contract. “Under the current circumstances, (the CWB) could lose a lot of grain into the new crop,” said De Pape in an interview. If that happened, the CWB would have a tough time meeting customer needs and there could be “burdensome demand” on the grain handling system early next crop year. De Pape expects the CWB will respond with some mechanism that provides farmers with attractive prices to prevent that situation. “They would probably be wise to close the pool early and start offering GDC’s (guaranteed delivery contracts) or cash contracts of some sort,” he said. C WB spokesperson Maureen Fitzhenry said it remains to be seen whether farmers will carry over much of their 2011 wheat crop into the 2012-13 marketing year. “There will be some farmers who
Farmers might hold off wheat deliveries if new crop bids prove too attractive to ignore. | FILE PHOTO may feel that’s a good option for them and will be in a position to do that and others who will not,” she said. “We are proceeding as usual with marketing the 2011-12 crop in the way it has traditionally been done and we expect that farmers will continue to participate in our current
year program.” However, the CWB doesn’t plan to offer Series B and C contracts in 201112. Those contracts usually have to be signed by Jan. 31 and May 31 respectively. “The expectation is we won’t have B and C because of moving into the
more competitive environment,” said Fitzhenry. “We had very good sign-up for Series A and expect that (farmers) will be honouring their contract commitments.” De Pape thinks the lack of Series B and C contracts indicates that the CWB anticipates it will have a struggle competing with the open market in the last half of the crop year. “I fully suspect that the new board will do something to keep business going for the latter part of the year.” One option might be for the wheat board to move to an open market sooner than Aug. 1, he said. “I think they could very easily do that on barley. Maybe not so much malt barley but certainly feed barley.” Fitzhenry said the board is working on the details of new programs for 2012-13 that it will announce soon. She wouldn’t provide hints of what is coming, other than that the programs will be competitive with what grain companies are offering and may not resemble what the wheat board has offered in the past. “Everything will be very different.” access=subscriber section=markets,none,none
CROP OUTLOOK | UKRAINE
Ukraine barley, canola trouble may spur Canadian exports BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
There has been plenty of talk in grain markets about how dismal growing conditions could reduce Ukraine’s 2012-13 winter wheat crop. However, there has been little chatter about two other winter crops of interest to Canadian growers: rapeseed and barley. Winter grain comprises half of Ukraine’s seeded area, and about a third of the crop is entering winter in weak condition because of “unusually and persistently” dry weather, according to a recent Commodity Intelligence Report prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Fall precipitation was the lowest in recent history, resulting in inadequate surface moisture levels and the
expectation for extensive winterkill. Ukraine’s agriculture ministry said Dec. 26 that only 80 percent of fall planted crops had germinated compared to 93 percent last year at the same time. Of the crops that had sprouted, 34 percent was in poor condition and the rest was satisfactory to good. The government thinks 3.7 to 4.9 million acres of winter crops will need to be replanted in the spring, but the full extent of damage won’t be known until the end of winter. “Rape is the winter crop most susceptible to winter damage, and winterkill is significantly higher for rape than for wheat and other grains,” said the USDA. Growers planted an estimated 2.25 million acres of rapeseed, down 19 percent from the fall of 2010.

GREG KOSTAL KOSTAL AG CONSULTING
Greg Kostal, president of Kostal Ag Consulting, said Ukraine exports all the rapeseed it grows, and any disruption could be an opportunity for Canadian canola. “Europe would need to import more canola or more canola oil to make up the difference,” he said. An increase in spring planting could make up for some of the lost winter rapeseed, but the spring rapeseed crop is typically much smaller, so a complete recovery is unlikely.
Kostal is particularly intrigued about what will happen with Ukraine’s winter barley crop, which accounted for more than 30 percent of the country’s nine million tonnes of barley production in 2010-11. Ukraine has been the world’s largest barley exporter in four of the last five years, accounting for an average of 4.4 million tonnes of the 17 million in annual global barley trade. “If you have any hiccup in that part of the world, it has a more pronounced impact on world price,” said Kostal. “It’s sure something to watch.” Markets will also be monitoring how Ukrainian farmers respond in the spring. Barley has traditionally been the crop used for spring reseeding if there has been winterkill, but Ukrainian agriculture officials and private
commodity analysts believe corn and soybeans could make up a large portion of the reseeded area in 2012. Kostal will also be following how the Ukrainian government responds to the potential grain shortfall. In the past, it has relied on export bans and tariffs to keep supplies at home, which could result in a decline in what Ukraine has to export. The other crop of interest to Canad i a n g ro w e r s i s w h e a t , w h i c h accounted for 81 percent of 2012-13 winter crop plantings, or an estimated 16.1 million acres. However, winter wheat is a remarkably resilient crop that can recover if spring growing conditions are favourable. As well, plenty of wheat is in storage around the world, so a supply shortage in Ukraine might not have a dramatic impact on global wheat prices. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

Record cattle prices fail to spark herd rebuilding Smaller herds | Cowcalf producers cautious after several bad years BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
Cow herd dispersals have been common at auctions across the country in the last five years. “We have seen over the last five years, a mass exit of cattle producers from the business,” said Jason Danard of the Calgary Stockyards at Strathmore, Alta. An extended lack of profitability and an aging population of producers are considered key factors in the phenomenon. Prices recovered in 2011, reaching record levels for all classes. However, instead of sparking herd rebuilding, many producers decided it was an opportunity to retire early. “We were seeing calves trade at levels we had never seen before,” Danard said. Market analysis firm Canfax reports that average prices for 550 pound calves climbed to $154 per hundredweight in 2011 from $121 per cwt. in 2010 and were bid up to $158 per cwt. in the first week of December. Prices for 850 lb. yearlings were $132 per cwt. in the same week. The last time they were that high was in 2000, when the loonie was less than 70 cents US and feed and other costs were more favourable. Canfax also reported bred heifers averaged around a record $1,400 each and bred cows were trading at $1,875 at the end of December. “I do think, however, over the next five to 10 years that that will be the most profitable sector of the industry,” Danard said. “I think the cow-calf sector will be where it’s at, but you need somebody who is willing to do the work.”
The market is signalling it is time to start expanding cow herds but it will take time for producers to regain confidence in the industry. | FILE PHOTO Canfax statistics show 2011 was the first profitable period for cow-calf producers in the last five years and only the third time in 10 years where the business paid. Profitability usually entices more people to raise cattle, but the national herd has shown a steady decline since 2005 with the summer inventory at 13.8 million head. The herd is in the same position it was in 10 years ago, said Andrea Brocklebank of Canfax. Some heifer retention is apparent, but record high butcher cow prices at $71 per cwt. attracted breeding females to market. “There are signals of expansion but we are not down to that point where we are going to see massive growth,” she said. Cow herd populations are smaller throughout the world, said Travis Toews, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. “This is a big deal in our industry today,” said Toews. “We are witnessing a major change in beef supplies and fundamentals.” Expansion isn’t expected, especially in the United States. Strong
corn prices in the Midwest encourage people to crop their land rather than grow forage. As well, a record drought in Texas and Oklahoma has seen a mass cow herd reduction in those states. Females were slaughtered and calves went to feedlots earlier. In the last year, the Texas cow herd has plunged by about 600,000 head, or 12 percent, according to David Anderson, a livestock economist at Texas A&M University. The Texas cattle herd is larger than the entire Canadian herd, so a reduction of that historic magnitude has a substantial impact on the North American market, said Brocklebank. “When you kill your factory, it is fully expected the U.S. cattle herd will continue to reduce,” she said. It could be at least three to five years before rebuilding starts, she added. Cattle and beef exports have always supported the Canadian market, but a shift has also occurred there. Canada now exports 44 percent of its entire production as meat or live animals compared to nearly 60 percent before the discovery of BSE disrupt-

Dry S. America dominates market MARKET WATCH
D’ARCE MCMILLAN
Soaring southern hemisphere temperatures stress corn and soybeans, which affects canola It is summer in South America and temperatures the first week of January were expected to be in the mid 30s C in Argentina. The heat is adding stress to corn and soybean crops that have suffered from little rain this growing season. The troubles down south helped canola stage a modest rally in December with the January con-
tract rising about five percent over the month. However, the contract closed the year lower than where it started in 2011. That was the first time in three years that the canola market lost ground over the 12 months. A record crop and global economic turmoil were the cause of the slight weakening of canola prices. The canola price trend and the general crop market direction early this year will be strongly influenced by South American weather. Argentine growers are still seeding and had about 80 percent of the forecasted 9.25 million corn acres in the ground at the end of December, but work had stopped because of the dry weather. The area in corn was expected to be about five percent more than last year. Argentina is the world’s second largest corn exporter, third largest soybean exporter and is the top exporter of soybean oil and meal. The United States Department of
Agriculture forecasts an Argentine 2011-12 corn harvest of 29 million tonnes. But with the lack of rain and hot temperatures forecasted for early January, analysts are scaling back their crop estimates. Buenos Aires-based agricultural economist Manuel Alvarado Ledesma expects a corn crop of about 23 million tonnes. Corn is at a more critical stage of development than soybeans but if the dryness persists worries about the oilseed crop will grow. La Nina is behind the dry weather in Argentina, Paraguay and southern Brazil. But in the central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, the top soybean grower in that country, the moisture situation is better and more rain is forecast for early this month. Indeed, the drought area in Brazil is mostly limited to the No. 3 producing state Rio Grande do Sul. Crops are planted later in that state and there is still time for January rain to save the day. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none
ed trade in 2003. Fed cattle exports were up 19 percent in 2010 but crashed 41.5 percent in 2011. Canada used to ship as many as 800,000 head, but only 363,000 went out this year. More cattle have been kept at home for processing. Other producers were reluctant to export because of the impacts of country-of-origin labelling in the U.S. “There has been strong demand domestically for these animals to stay at home, given excess packing capacity,” Brocklebank said. Cow exports were down 32 percent in 2011 to about 132,000 head. Feeder calf exports have been down every year since 2009. “We have moved from shipping over 300,000 head to the fact where we are lowest on record, below 1995 to 87,000 head this year.” With a smaller herd there has been reduced slaughter. Beef production in 2011 is down 17 percent. “This was the first year we saw a real decline,” she said. Canada is the second largest exporter of grain fed beef in the world, but
exports declined 19 percent in volume and 10.5 percent in value. “We have seen some growth with the resumption of market access,” Brocklebank said. “The big factor is, you can’t export what you don’t produce.” Beef exports are down 19 percent to the U.S. and about 30 percent to Mexico. “This is partially due to the weak economy and the relative strength of the Canadian dollar that impacted the competitiveness of our product,” she said. Exports to Hong Kong and Russia have grown, but the volumes are small. Canada has become the favourite destination for U.S. beef, with imports up 17 percent. Most of the imports were trim that was mixed with domestic product for ground meat. “We are a relatively attractive market for the U.S., especially to Eastern Canada,” she said. A U.S. Department of Agriculture report in December said an annual value record was achieved for the first 10 months of 2011. As of October, U.S. beef exports were worth $4.49 billion. Mexico is the leading volume destination for U.S. beef at 470 million lb., but Canada is the top value market at $861.9 million. On the demand side, Canadians are eating less meat. Canadian beef consumption has been declining since 2003 to a new low of 20 kilograms per person. Total Canadian beef consumption of 944,380 tonnes was the lowest since 1997. Growth in poultry has leveled off and pork consumption is also falling. However, consumers are also paying a higher price for beef. North American beef prices were up seven percent, pork improved by 15 percent and poultry increased by three percent. access=subscriber section=markets,none,none

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE A BIT STRONGER The Canfax fed steer average for the week ending Dec. 23 was $115.29 per hundredweight, up 54 cents, and heifers were $114.62. Canfax does not publish a report for the last week of the year. Rail steers in Alberta were $192.50$195.50 per cwt. The weekly cash to futures basis widened to -$9.60. The fed offering was slightly less than 18,000 head. Sale volume was 15,432 head, down three percent from the previous week. American buyers showed little interest in green, short-fed Canadian cattle. Western Canadian fed cattle slaughter for the week ending Dec. 17 totalled 30,413 head, up one percent from the previous week. Weekly fed exports to Dec. 10 fell 40 percent to 5,793 head. Exports are down 33 percent for the year. December sales featured a lot of heavy, sorted steers. Their heifer contemporaries will come to market this month, but market-ready supply is expected to remain manageable. Packer inventories have tightened, which should pull contract cattle forward. Supply and demand should be bal-
anced, despite weaker post-holiday demand in January, which should keep prices relatively steady.
COW PRICES RISE With reduced non-fed volumes at commercial auctions, packers were forced to push bids higher. D1, D2 cows averaged $69.83. D3 averaged $60.50. Rail bids were $133-$138 per cwt. delivered. Butcher bulls traded steady following a price surge the previous week. Strong trim demand and a tight non-fed supply in January should support prices.
FEEDER PRICES RISE Feeder volumes eased in the week leading up to Christmas.
End-of-the-year buying and stronger cattle futures helped re-energize the feeder market. The Canfax average steer price rose 50 cents while heifers strengthened 29 cents. Mid-weight steers traded generally $1.50 per cwt. higher while stocker heifers rose moderately. Over the past eight weeks, the 300400 pound steer and heifer price average has fallen $10 per cwt. The few yearling packages on offer have held strong value. The 850 lb. feeder steer basis weakened and remains wider than the four-year historical average of -15.63. Auction volumes totalled 24,224, down 35 percent from the previous week. Weekly feeder exports to Dec. 10 totalled 1,645, up 66 percent from the previous week.
Lift times for fed cattle narrowed, supporting feeder prices. Lower barley futures prices should help feeding margins. Feeder volumes could be sluggish in January.
BRED FEMALE PRICES RALLY A large crowd of spectators and buyers filled commercial auction facilities with numerous reputation herds on offer. Volumes surged as sellers looked to capitalize on improved bred female values. Bred cow prices were steady with sales to $1,875 per head. Bred heifers averaged $1,456 per head. Bottom end heifers are being sorted off and purchased by feedlots. Bred volumes will likely ease into January.
BEEF VALUES UP Blizzards in the southern United States reduced slaughter volumes, while the prospect of tighter beef supply supported cut-out values, which rose $2.75-$3 US in the week ending Dec. 23. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to Dec. 16 rose $1-$1.25 Cdn. Montreal wholesale prices for deliver y in the last week of the year were forecast at $209-$211 per cwt.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS LOWER U.S. packers showed good demand for hogs with expectations for January supermarket pork features clearing out the backlog that built up over the holidays. Packers had good operating margins. A mild winter is leading to heavier than usual carcass weights. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs traded at $59.25 US per hundredweight Dec. 30, down from $61.50 Dec. 15. U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $85.16 Dec. 30, down from $90.84 per cwt. Dec 16. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate for the holiday week was 1.97 million, down from 2.16 million the previous week. U.S. slaughter was up 0.6 percent on the year.
6060 RR SETS THE NEW GOLD STANDARD BrettYoung’s highest yielding hybrid, 6060 RR, out-yielded commercial checks by 2.6 bu/ac (106%). Providing impressive yields, 6060 RR is a leader in its class. For proven consistent performance with yields equal to the commercial checks and better standability and harvestability, turn to 6040 RR. 6060 RR and 6040 RR come complete with the unparalleled weed control offered by the Genuity Roundup Ready system. In the end, it all comes down to performance, and BrettYoung brings a new standard of excellence to the field.

Organic food not safer than conventional
Better year on wish list for 2012
BY ROBERT WAGER AND CAMI RYAN
T
he term organic has exploded in the last decade in our privileged and health-conscious first world state. In fact, the global organic industry is now a $50 billion a year industry. The Canadian arm of this industry, through a six-page “information feature” in the Oct. 14 issue of the Globe and Mail, leveraged that market power and made several assertions that are incorrect and misleading about modern agricultural practice. First, the assumption that organic production does not use toxic chemical pesticides or antibiotics is misleading. The organics industry endorses the use of copper and sulfur compounds in its applications. Deemed natural, both of these products are toxic to a broad range of organisms and are long-term soil and environmental contaminants. As well, they are applied at significantly higher rates than synthetic fungicides. Antibiotics, such as streptomycin and tetracycline, have been used in organic production of orchard crops such as apples for years in the United States. Antibiotic use is restricted in organic animal production in Canada but can be used when the animal’s life is in jeopardy. In fact, producers are required to do so. No animals with antibiotic residues above a low maximum tolerable level are allowed to be used as food animals, so antibiotics should not be present in the flesh and products
Two academics argue the organic sector is misleading the public when it makes claims of superiority over conventional agriculture. | FILE PHOTO of treated animals. In the case where hormones are used, they essentially cannot be present at levels above those which naturally occur. Second, a mainstay of organic food propaganda is the insinuation that conventionally grown food or production methods that employ genetically modified crops are unsafe. Findings in the 2010 A Decade of EU-Funded GMO Research report, which was commissioned by the European Commission, did not indicate any increased risk from growing
GM crops nor any evidence of risk from consuming food containing GM ingredients. This does not mean there are no risks because no food is 100 percent safe. Earlier this year, 60 people died and more than 3,000 fell ill after eating organic bean sprouts in the European Union. It is important to note that organic production methods endorse the use of animal manure as fertilizer for food crops. This “natural” fecal matter is a huge breeding ground for nasty bacteria like salmonella, C. difficile and E.coli.
This leads us to a third myth that organically grown food is the healthier option. There is no evidence to suggest that organic food is any healthier than conventionally grown food or food containing GM ingredients. Studies conducted in 2009 and 2010 did not find any consistent nutritional benefits in organic food when compared with conventionally grown food. No jurisdiction, whether it is the British Food Standards Agency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Food Standards-Australia New Zealand or Health Canada, permits superior health claims for organic food because there is no scientifically accepted evidence to support them. The organics industry used the Globe and Mail to launch a creative publicity campaign. It was, essentially, a paid news release meant to generate media attention, which may be readily interpreted by the average consumer as a legitimate journalistic piece. However, it was really a six-page cluster of misleading information supported by flawed research that disparaged conventional and other agricultural practices. We cannot continue to assume that organic is the more superior food choice or agricultural practice. The process of bringing food from the farm to the fork is more complex than that.

Meet the people behind the auction sales HURSH ON AG

s you check out the auction sale circuit for this spring, you’ll see some well-known Saskatchewan producers who are selling out. Two were Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers. Garry Meier is part of Meier Brothers Farms at Ridgedale. Garry and Bonnie were OYF provincial and national winners in 1993. Warren and Carla Kaeding have Wagon Wheel Seed Corp. at Churchbridge. Prominent seed growers, they were Saskatchewan and Canadian OYF recipients in 1999. Two other prominent seed growers
are also having auction sales this spring: Glenn Annand of Mossbank and Tim Gieger of Leader. Vince Walker, from the Melfort area, one of the founders of Walker Seeds (now Legumex Walker) is also having a sale. In his case, the machinery is being sold but the land will be farmed by the next generation. Lyle Simonson is another name that jumps off the computer screen. Lyle and Debbie farm near Swift Current and Lyle has been a driving force within the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission. All of the above are medium to large progressive operations with mostly latemodel equipment for sale. Without delving into personal specifics, these high-profile producers provide an interesting cross-section of why and how producers decide to exit the business. Age eventually catches up with us all and sometimes health issues can also arise. Many of the farm auctions that are held every year are estate sales because the person passed away while farming. Sometimes people get out of farm-
ing but maintain an associated agricultural enterprise, whether it’s a seed or equipment business. In other cases, farmers haven’t reached a normal retirement age, but they want to sell out while prices are good. It’s a boom and bust business with more down times than good times. Although many analysts foresee a bright future, there are no guarantees. A huge part of the decision making process is whether the next generation wants to continue farming. For many operations, there is no daughter or son who wants to farm. Sometimes young professionals change their minds and after working for a number of years in a career, they realize they really would like to come back. Some producers hold off on selling in case that happens with their kids. In other cases, there’s no waiting around for kids to change their intentions. Some farmers love it so much they can’t imagine doing anything else. Being a farmer isn’t just a career; it’s who they are. They’d rather be seeding than hitting the golf course.
Sometimes these sorts of producers are a detriment to the coming generation. A 30-, 40- or 50-year-old son is still just a glorified employee because Dad is still calling the shots and owns all the assets. Other producers tire of the long hours and the financial risk and are quite happy to move onto another stage in their lives. Farms can involve a lot of emotional baggage. Passed down from one generation to the next, the farm can become more than just dirt and iron. Being the one who sells the family farm can carry a lot of guilt. In some cases, an auction sale of the equipment means the land is also being sold. In other cases, the land is kept in the family because it’s considered a great long-term investment. There are literally hundreds of farm auction sales across the Prairies each spring. Behind many of the auctions is a personal journey that’s taking a new direction.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK
JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR
H
appy New Year. I hope it will be. Last year was a tough one for many people in my life, and for many farmers in southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It didn’t surprise me when the prairie flooding of spring and summer 2011 made No. 1 on Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips’ Top 10 weather events list. It was pretty bizarre: entire towns were inundated, whole herds had to be moved to higher ground, seeding was nearly impossible and crops that did get in — especially in parts of Manitoba — were minuscule per acre. Therefore, much better moisture conditions for this region makes No. 1 on my wish list for 2012. For the farmers who managed to get a great crop off, I hope for a second year of spectacular yields. Dad got 40 to 50 bushels of wheat on some parts of his land and his canola was incredible. Some folks did better — even a lot better. In fact, some farmers couldn’t believe what they were harvesting. Is it too much to hope for two back-toback years of eye-popping yields? For the hog producers of Manitoba, I wish for a sensible resolution to the Save Lake Winnipeg Act. The act, which slipped in right before the election, has put more restrictions on an already highly restricted industry. Basically, the act serves as a moratorium on any realistic expansion. Producer groups are also worried that other agricultural pursuits could be affected. If the Save Lake Winnipeg Act is not managed properly, it could significantly affect the agriculture and food industries in Manitoba, which together make up 9.5 percent of GDP and 14 percent of employment. For every citizen of Canada, but producers particularly, I wish for a change of heart within the Stephen Harper government concerning Environment Canada. This summer, the government announced it would hack slightly more than 1,200 jobs from the service, or about 21 percent of the workforce. A number of them have already received pink slips. Before this announcement, Environment Canada had already been significantly degraded, and I don’t understand why the government doesn’t understand the importance of a well-funded, properly staffed public weather and climate service. And wish No. 5 is for all of you to enjoy a happy, healthy, prosperous new year, resplendent with perfect weather. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

I saw the advertisement on the Kehler Stauffe water awareness. This sure struck home to me, as we almost went through the same tragedy. On Nov. 6, 2011, it was my birthday. I was 79 years old. My two grandsons, 14 and 15 years old, decided to go hunting for rabbits, magpies or whatever they saw. The one boy, Calvin, shot a mallard duck. It fell on the ice on a small slough hole in the field. It was just water from all the rain we had this summer. He walked out on the ice to retrieve the duck. He did not think the water was more than a couple of
feet deep. The water was about seven feet deep. He broke through the ice. He couldn’t get out because his hip waders filled up with water. His brother ran out to help him and he also broke through the ice. Calvin held onto the ice with one hand and helped push his brother out with his other hand. His brother crawled back and got a hold of Calvin and laid there and managed to pull him out. How he managed this, I don’t know. It was a miracle. They got in their truck and went home about two miles away. They had a hot bath. Our family was so fortunate that these boys were able to save themselves. Their survival was the best

determined to destroy, or render ineffective, an entirely Canadian entity — the Canadian Wheat Board? Why is our government determined to do something the United States has been trying to do for many years, which is destroy or discredit the CWB? Is the government prepared to subsidize grain producers to the same relative extent as the U.S. subsidizes its farmers? If the CWB is removed, our grain marketing system is almost identical to that of the U.S. To serve the industry has required mammoth American expenditures in the form of export subsidies to grain companies and even larger subsidies to farmers. Why cannot the CWB be retained for those who wish to use it, while others be allowed to sell outside the CWB, providing in each case a commitment of five years? Why is it important to ensure that the large potash companies have the market power that comes from single desk selling, but that privilege is to be taken away from grain producers? If (federal agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz and his colleagues are so confident of the rightness of their position, why do they not allow those most affected to have a vote? In the early part of the 20th century, farmers were being exploited by grain companies, the railways and financial institutions. Farmers responded by establishing co-operatives and credit unions and later by lobbying for permanency for the CWB. The CWB provided the cornerstone for stability in the grain industry; now it may be gone. With the stroke of a pen the industry may revert to 100 years earlier and once again farmers will be thrown to the wolves. E. K. “Ted” Turner, Regina, Sask.

As a past Saskatchewan Pulse Grower director and chair, I attended a meeting of most of the past SPG chairmen to discuss governance issues at SPG and at Pulse Canada. Saskatchewan supplies nearly 70 percent of Pulse Canada’s core industry revenue but has only two directors on the seven-member Pulse Canada board, while Manitoba contributes about six percent and has one seat at the board table. Are Saskatchewan pulse growers well represented? Should Saskatchewan growers pay a larger percentage of Pulse Canada’s core revenue as some are suggesting? The loss of a great deal of executive memory with the resignation of SPG board chair Murray Purcell and the “resignation” of long-time SPG executive director Garth Patterson signaled that something was not right in our farmer controlled pulse organization. A second concern was the relationship between SPG and Pulse Canada. Is Pulse Canada being groomed to run the pulse industry at Saskatchewan’s expense? The head offices of the Canadian oil industry are in Alberta because that’s where the oil is, so why is Pulse Canada in Winnipeg?
OPINION Pulse Canada moving to Saskatchewan will increase accountability with readily available face-to-face meetings between the two organizations. Shawn Buhr, Jim Moen and Dr. Bert Vandenberg were asked to run for election to the SPG board. Shawn and Jim bring a wealth of knowledge as past SPG chairmen. Dr. Bert Vandenberg, the world-renowned lentil breeder at the Crop Development Centre, will help the SPG board to make well-informed decisions to continue a profitable and sustainable pulse industry in Saskatchewan. This election will hopefully result in no further losses of staff at SPG and will continue a strong and professional relationship between SPG and the CDC. The strong connection between the CDC and SPG and a more accountable Pulse Canada in Saskatchewan must be our industry’s primary
objectives. These three individuals, along with like-minded current SPG directors, will help move our industry in the required direction. Dean Corbett, Macrorie, Sask.

However, farmers down through the ages have been promised many things by governments, only to find to their dismay that many of these promises were of the empty kind. Consider one Otto Lang, then minister of transport in the (Trudeau) government who promised great things for the prairie regions if only we could get rid of the Crow’s Nest rate on shipping grain. We would see great increases in industrial operations; businesses of all kinds would establish themselves along the railroad.

Could he not negotiate a reduction in U.S. agricultural subsidies at a time when the U.S. administration is desperate to cut spending? As a Canadian producer who appreciates fiscal prudence in one’s elected officials, I am embarrassed in our prime minister’s ideological focus and irrational time line.

t our recent Blue Christmas service, one speaker wanted to address the feelings of grief and loss experienced by children. Whether a pet cat or a loved grandparent, the question is always what others can do to help the kids work through their pain. Their questions often come out concerning basic needs: who’s going to take care of Ronnie? Will Allison be lonely? I know of one family who witnessed their favourite farm dog attacking a new pet cat. The children, who were not from a church-attending family, knew there had to be a funeral for their little friend — and not just any funeral. Grandma and the kids had to dress up, with hats and gloves. The kitten was placed in a tea-towel lined shoe box, and they all went out to the farm’s pet cemetery in the trees. Each found a few words to say. Rituals are important. It was also important to find a way to forgive old Ruff. At the Blue Christmas service, the speaker brought out a box. It was to be used as a memory box. What were some things they remembered about Grandpa? He took them on fishing trips. He read stories to them. He liked his big cup of coffee. With each memory, they thought of something they could put in the box that would help them remember — a battered lure, a pair of eye glasses, a story book. The kids even got excited about how to decorate the box. Enthusiasm about the project grew. Each time they felt the need to be near Grandpa, they could chose something from the box that would help them give voice to their feelings. Stories connected with these memories brought warmth and comfort.

WHEAT BOARD | HISTORY
CWB support eroded over decades Monopoly granted in 1943 | Canadian Wheat Board was once considered untouchable BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
Bill Hamilton, who cut his farm policy teeth working for the Saskatchewan royal commission on the future of agriculture in the 1950s, remembers one issue that was not debated. During a wide-ranging four-year study of the province’s main industry, the role of the decade-old Canadian Wheat Board monopoly was not on the table. “The wheat board was universally accepted and the only real debate was why it didn’t have more powers,” recalled Hamilton, a staffer for the commission who went on to a long career in farm politics with the Saskatchewan Federation of Agriculture and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture as executive director. “The pools were powerful and they saw the board as a necessary and effective marketing tool,” he recalled in a late-December interview. “It had no real enemies at the time.” Six decades later, with prairie farmers deeply divided on the issue, the Conservative government of prime minister Stephen Harper appears to have engineered the demise of the single desk effective Aug. 1, 2012. “In those days, that would have been unthinkable,” said Hamilton, born into a Saskatchewan Wheat Pool family and raised on a Siemens, Sask., grain farm. “I guess the Prairies have passed me by.” The 2011 Conservative changes to get rid of the single desk powers of the wheat board reflects changing prairie politics and the culmination of almost four decades of growing opposition that board supporters could not extinguish. From its uncertain beginning, the wheat board was a creature of political controversy.
Opposition to the Canadian Wheat Board wasn’t always strong among prairie farmers, such as these photographed in 1956. That would start changing in the 1970s. | FILE PHOTO Attempts to create a Canadian Wheat Board had several false starts. A board was briefly created by the Conservatives in 1919 but allowed to disappear the next year. The real father of the CWB was Conservative prime minister R.B. Bennett, who introduced legislation a n d p e r s o na l l y s h e p h e rd e d i t through the House of Commons and a Commons committee in the summer of 1935 in the face of fierce Liberal opposition. Bennett was an unlikely advocate: a millionaire capitalist and grain elevator company owner who became convinced the grain trade was dysfunctional and needed a collective, government-created marketer to protect the farm economy. William Lyon Mackenzie King, in opposition, fought the legislation as an intrusion on free enterprise and
forced Bennett to drop his plans for a compulsory marketing board in favour of voluntary. Three months later, prairie farmers who had argued for a wheat board had their say. In the 1935 election, the prairie seat count was seven Conservatives and 34 Liberals. Then as now, the CWB does not seem to have been a ballot issue for most farmers. Ironically, it was King who conferred monopoly powers on the CWB in 1943 as part of the wartime effort. The board was unchallenged through the 1950s and 1960s and became a key instrument of Canadian foreign policy in 1961 when it negotiated the first western nation grain sale to the Peoples’ Republic of China, a breakthrough in relations with the communists that was encouraged and aided by then-Pro-

gressive Conservative agriculture minister Alvin Hamilton. “The wheat board recognized China before Canada did,” later Liberal CWB minister Otto Lang once said. But by the mid-1970s, criticism began to be heard. The Palliser Wheat Growers’ Association became the first vocal, if small, farm group to challenge both wheat board and Saskatchewan Wheat Pool orthodoxy on the benefits of the monopoly. The western provinces got involved. As early as 1969, conservative Liberal Saskatchewan premier Ross Thatcher tried to bypass the board by bartering unsold and cheap provincial wheat for foreign goods. Lang shot him down, but soon Alberta premier Peter Laughed was demanding that provinces have a say over what he considered to be an ineffective CWB export strategy. In 1979, the minority government of Joe Clark weighed in with a report about CWB problems, and the Conservative Manitoba government piled on. By the 1980s, United Grain Growers had become the first major farmer grain co-operative to come out against the board monopoly ,and in 1989, then-PC minister Charlie Mayer took oats out of board jurisdiction. The 1990s produced Liberal Ralph Goodale’s CWB reform that created a majority-elected board of directors and farmer control of the board for the first time. However, his 1998 legislation left significant powers with the federal government to intervene, which Ritz used to full effect. Meanwhile, the politics of monopoly opposition had become mainstream. In 1993, the anti-CWB monopoly Reform party became the major voice of the Prairies in Parliament. By 1997, the diminished Progressive Conservative party also vowed to end the monopoly. A key milestone on the road to the end of the monopoly came last decade when the prairie wheat pools collapsed, eliminating the strongest supportive farmer lobby. General farm organizations, recognizing a growing split in their membership, found a fence to mount. With diminishing farm sector supporters, the CWB pro-monopoly directors, who were voted for by the same farmers who elected Conservative and Reform MPs, tried to morph into a farm group that lobbied for their own interest. It led to more criticism and a flurry of conservative think-tanks arguing that the board was not effective. The 2006 election of a minority Conservative government, with its l o n g -s t a n d i n g v ow t o e n d t h e monopoly, increased the pressure. Election of a majority Conservative government in May 2011 sealed the board’s fate. “If I was a Canadian Wheat Board director, I’d be packing my bags,” University of Regina political scientist Howard Leeson said on election night May 2. He was right. They were told to pack their bags Dec. 16 when the Bill C-18 became law, although court challenges remain.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD • 1919: The first CWB is established. Initial payments set a floor price guaranteed by the federal government, with final payments provided after year-end sales results. • 1920: The CWB is disbanded. • 1923: Farmers establish wheat pools in the three prairie provinces, then create a jointly owned central selling agency similar to the CWB. • 1929: Farmers’ pools face bankruptcy after collapse of international wheat prices. • 1930: The federal government provides guarantees to the banks for the pools’ borrowings. • 1935 (July 5): Gov’t involvement is formalized with the Canadian Wheat Board Act. Initial payments return with guaranteed floor prices. • 1943: The single desk is created. • 1949: Barley and oats are included in the single desk. • 1961: First major sales agreement signed with China. • 1974: Domestic feed grain sales removed from the single desk. • 1989: Oats removed from the single desk. • 1993: The federal government creates an open continental barley market, while the CWB retains its monopoly on overseas exports. This is challenged in court by the prairie grain pools and barley returns to the CWB single desk a month later. • 1998: The CWB Act is overhauled. Farmers elect 10 of 15 members on a new CWB board of directors. • 2000: Producer Payment Options introduced, farmers can price their own wheat outside the CWB. • 2001: The Early Payment Option is introduced to allow farmers to be paid most of their pooled return at delivery. • 2006: Canada’s new Conservative government fires CEO Adrian Measner and replaces all appointed CWB directors. • 2007: The federal government holds a vote among farmers on removing barley from the single desk, then announces that barley will be removed by Aug. 1. The CWB successfully challenges this action in court and keeps barley in the single desk. • May 2011: Conservatives win a majority and vow to remove the CWB single desk, announcing they will amend the CWB Act. • October 2011: The federal government introduces Bill C-18 to remove elected CWB directors and enable removal of the single desk by Aug. 1. 2012. The CWB launches a challenge in federal court. • November 2011: The federal court says that the agriculture minister broke the law by causing Bill C-18 to be introduced without a farmers’ vote. The government announces it will appeal. • December 2011: The CWB launches legal action to have Bill C-18 declared invalid and its implementation stayed. The judge rules against an interim stay, but the case continues. Bill C-18 receives royal assent. Directors are removed and Aug. 1, 2012 is set as the date when the CWB single desk will end.

WHEAT BOARD | FUTURE
Voluntary CWB to bring competitiveness: business leaders NFU predicts struggles | Rapid consolidation isn’t in the cards, according to Louis Dreyfus Canada president BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM
What does the future hold for Canadian grain marketers after the Canadian Wheat Board loses its single desk authority? The answer is difficult, but grain industry executives say one thing seems certain: the new CWB will vie for farmers’ grain in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. Last month, wheat board president Ian White issued a statement reassuring prairie farmers that the CWB will be ready to compete for producers’ grain in the new marketing environment. White said the CWB would be unveiling details of its 2012-13 programs in the near future. He said the new board, comprising five appointed directors, will strive to provide ongoing value to farmers while retaining its reputation. “The CWB has been preparing for this change for many months, developing both pool and cash programs for farmers for the upcoming crop year,” said White. Allan Oberg, former chair of the farmer-controlled CWB, has said the new wheat board will have a difficult time competing with private sector companies. Without terminal or port infrastructure, it is likely that the board will rely on competing grain companies to handle grain. Terry Boehm, a long-time singledesk supporter and president of the National Farmers Union, agreed, saying it is unlikely that a voluntary CWB will continue as a viable commercial entity. “The legislation (Bill C-18) does mention government guarantees for the initial prices, but at the same time, it doesn’t give the new entity any (assurance of) … access to grain handling or terminal facilities, so it becomes completely dependent on what would be its direct competitors,” said Boehm. “I think (its survival) would be highly unlikely.” Jean Marc Ruest, vice-president of Richardson International, said private grain companies such as Richardson look forward to competing with the CWB in the new marketing environment. While some observers believe the board will face an uphill battle, Ruest
Canada’s grain handling and transportation systems may change considerably during the next few years, if planned Canadian Wheat Board changes go ahead. | FILE PHOTO said the new board will also have advantages over its competitors. “From the start, we’ve been constant in our view that a voluntary board does have a very strong chance of creating a position for itself (and becoming) a viable entity,” Ruest said. “It (the wheat board) has a very loyal customer base of farmer and end-use customers. (Those are) elements that are fundamental to a viable organization and that many (private sector) companies would very much like to have.” Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz also believes the voluntary CWB has a good chance of becoming a viable commercial entity. Speaking at a recent meeting of the Inland Terminals Association of Canada, Ritz said a voluntary CWB could evolve into a farmer-owned co-operative or a shareholder controlled entity. “I think it has a tremendous opportunity to move forward,” Ritz said. “Our legislation (mentions) a transition period of up to five years, but if farmers react as they possibly could … they may try to restructure it as a co-operative or a share-structured offering in Year 2 or Year 3, and we’re open to that.” Appointed CWB directors have until the summer of 2016 to come up with a plan to commercialize the new CWB. That commercialization plan — which is subject to ministerial
approval — could involve any number of scenarios, including selling the CWB to private sector interests or transforming it into a farmer-controlled business. However, first the new board must prove that it can compete with private sector players in a radically changed environment. Brant Randles, president of Louis Dreyfus Canada, offered an interesting view of marketing in the postmonopoly world. Contrary to what many single-desk advocates fear, Randles said, the new grain marketing environment will not be dominated by one or two large multinationals but will emerge as a highly competitive industry with several Canadian companies vying for a share of farmers’ grain. “We have very strong and robust national players,” Randles said. Canadian Grain Commission documents show that elevator capacity on the Prairies is divided between several companies, including Viterra with 35.5 percent market share, Richardson International with 16.5 percent, Cargill with 12.5 percent and Louis Dreyfus with 6.1 percent. Two other Canadian companies, Paterson and Parrish & Heimbecker, control another 14 percent. The remaining 15 percent of capacity is split between a handful of other companies. Randles said the industry will
evolve as Canada’s private companies compete with grain exporters from the United States, Australia, Russia and Ukraine. He said Canadian grain quality and sanitary standards are likely to be revised to ensure that Canada’s standards are more in line with those of other countries. According to Randles, quality and sanitary standards for Canadian wheat and barley have been maintained at excessively high levels relative to other exporting nations. At times, those standards allowed the CWB to sell into premium wheat markets, but at other times, when the global demand for top quality wheat was limited, quality Canadian grain was sold into lower quality markets. Randles contends that Canada sells six to nine million tonnes of high quality wheat a year into mid-quality markets. In other words, the extra costs associated with producing high quality wheat are never recovered. “We need to change that,” he said. “We need a different portfolio of wheats to sell … and I believe the market will eventually signal a shift in production to higher yielding, midquality wheats.” Randles also predicted: • an improvement in export basis levels for Canadian cereal grains, which would contribute to higher farmgate returns
• lower volumes of prairie wheat moving east through Thunder Bay as Russia and Ukraine become more consistent suppliers to wheat markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa • increased exports of Canadian wheat to the United States as production of row crops continues to expand in the U.S. Northern Plains, displacing American wheat acreage • market pressure to reduce sanitary standards on exports of Canadian feed barley Regardless of how the market evolves, it appears that Western Canada’s largest grain companies are eager to throw their hats in the ring. Viterra, which is easily Western Canada’s largest grain handling company, wasted no time rolling out contracting opportunities. In mid-December, the same day that Bill C-18 received royal assent, the company issued a news release saying it was ready to offer contracts for execution after Aug. 1. “Starting today, Viterra is pleased to offer bids to western Canadian wheat, durum and barley producers,” said Viterra president Mayo Schmidt. He said the elimination of single desk selling would allow the company to move grain more efficiently and maximize throughput, which would, in theory, lead to lower handling costs and better producer returns.

Regular classes in the College of Agriculture Building began in November 1912. Photo from University of Saskatchewan Archives.
Celebrating 100 years of students at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The Centennial Column is a weekly feature highlighting the history and present successes of the college. In 1907, just two years after the creation of the Province of Saskatchewan the government passed an act establishing the University of Saskatchewan. The Board of Governors decided that the institution would include an agriculture college as well as a college of arts and science. This decision came about on the recommendation of a committee headed by the university’s first president, Walter Murray. After touring universities in several American states in 1908, Murray and his committee concluded that many benefits would result from unifying all the disciplines on one campus. In Murray’s words: Agriculture loses by being cut off from the other currents of public life; in like manner the professions, and literary and scientific interests in their isolation become self-centred and indifferent to the great practical interests of people. In a province, destined for many years to be predominantly agricultural, the Provincial University should place the interests of agriculture in the forefront, or renounce its title to provincial service. At the same time the Provincial University should be as broad and as varied as the many-sided interests of its people. It should not neglect those studies, those instruments of culture, the cultivation of sentiment, the awakening of intelligence and the enrichment of life. With the laying of the cornerstone for the first College of Agriculture building by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on July 29, 2010, the University of Saskatchewan pledged a deep and abiding commitment to serving agriculture and the people of Saskatchewan. The college was housed in the first building to be constructed on the new university’s campus, reflecting the central role it was to play in the institution’s mandate. From the beginning the college mission has been to meet the needs of the agriculture community through teaching, research, extension and public service programs. The Hon. W.R. Motherwell, Saskatchewan’s first Minister of Agriculture, was instrumental in helping to establish the College of Agriculture, and he also provided, from his own department, the college’s first two recruits in 1909. They were W.J. Rutherford, who became the first Dean of the College of Agriculture, and Professor of Animal Husbandry; and John Bracken, the college’s first Professor of Field Husbandry. Cultivation of the university farm began in 1910. From the outset the major purpose of the farm was to determine the best methods of farming and to extend this expertise to farmers.

Ground might be broken this year for two federally inspected beef processing plants in Manitoba. If they were to succeed, the projects would follow years of talk about the need for a mid-sized cattle slaughter plant in the province. Almost every beef producer in Manitoba would normally agree that a plant is needed in the province because of the substantial cost of shipping cattle to Alberta or the United States. However, in the case of these two plants, one remains controversial for b e e f p ro d u c e r s a n d t h e o t h e r remains off the radar. The contentious plant, which has generated the most conversations between producers, was formerly called Keystone Processors but renamed ProNatur in December. The managers of ProNatur want to build a $30 to $35 million plant in Winnipeg that will slaughter 250 head per day to serve the market for halal, kosher and Canadian graded beef. “I really believe there is a good niche for this type of plant,” said Jim Mitchell, ProNatur vice-president and director of operations who is part of a management team that has built and run cattle slaughter plants in the U.S. and South America. “For this area, it will fit because with the freight to Alberta, or even going south, we will be able to give the producer an alternative.” ProNatur president Doug Cooper said a marketing opportunity exists for a mid-sized beef plant in Western Canada.
CALVIN VAAGS PLAINS PROCESSORS
“As the big get bigger … there are still some folks (consumers) who don’t just want natural (beef) or want something else, they want it done a little different,” he said. “And I use the example of the religious harvest … the kosher and halal (market).” ProNatur managers appear convinced the plant can succeed, but private investors seem skeptical. The only investors in the plant as of late December were Manitoba cattle producers through a voluntary $2 checkoff, the provincial government and an $18 million loan from the RBC Royal Bank. ProNatur still requires someone to invest $10 million to help cover the capital cost of building the plant. The funding gap was created last summer when the federal government pulled its $10 million loan commitment to the project, stating the plant’s business plan was unviable. The government’s decision shocked the Manitoba Cattle Enhancement Council, which is charged with expanding slaughter capacity in the province. It said the “government provided no numbers or detailed rationale for their conclusion.” Some cattle producers now doubt the plant will ever be built. At its annual meeting this fall, Manitoba
Beef Producers passed a resolution to terminate the voluntary checkoff that supports MCEC and the council’s showcase project, ProNatur. “This is a great opportunity right now … and if something doesn’t happen pretty quickly, it’s going to be harder and harder and harder,” Mitchell said at the Manitoba Grazing School in December. Meanwhile, construction of a federally inspected beef plant will likely begin in Carman, Man., this winter. Calvin Vaags, owner and president of Plains Processors, said construction could begin soon on the $13 million plant expansion, which will transform a 80 head per week provincially inspected plant into a 1,000 head per week federally inspected plant. “We have all of our permitting in place. We fully expect to start construction in the middle of January,” said Vaags, who lives in Dugald, Man., operates a cattle feedlot and owns two meat retail shops in Winnipeg. Unlike ProNatur, the federal government continues to back the expansion of Plains Processors in the form of a $2.8 million loan. If all goes well, the expanded plant co u ld be pro cessing f edera lly inspected beef by late 2012 or early 2013, Vaags said. While a federally inspected designation is helpful, Vaags noted most the beef that comes out of the plant will likely be eaten in Manitoba. “A lot of people think, well, you’re a federally inspected plant so you’re going to sell everything overseas,” he said. “We will be selling some of our product around the world … but the bulk of our product will probably end up in our own backyard.” access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none
OBITUARY | JAY FOX
Man. cattle leader dies in farm accident BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
Members of Manitoba’s cattle community are shaken after an industry leader died in a farm accident just before Christmas. Major Jay Fox, 32, a cattle producer from Eddystone, Man., and former president of the Manitoba Beef Producers, died Dec. 23 after he was pinned under a front-end loader bucket. MBP president Ray Armbruster said the timing and suddenness of Fox’s death has been difficult for many Manitoba cattle producers. “Especially a day and a half before Christmas,” he said. According to RCMP reports, Fox was trying to detach a front-end loader assembly from a tractor when the hydraulics released and the bucket fell. Fox was transferred to hospital in Winnipeg, where he died Dec. 23. Born and raised on a ranch near Lloydminster, Sask., Fox and his parents moved to Manitoba in the 1990s to start a new farm close to Eddystone.
JAY FOX FORMER MAN. BEEF PRODUCERS PRESIDENT
Fox and his wife, Angela, who was also raised in Saskatchewan, took over the operation in the 2000s, running a herd of 400 cows on more than 11,000 acres of hay and pasture land west of Lake Manitoba. Although he was new to the province, Fox quickly made a name for himself in Manitoba’s cattle industry, becoming a MBP director in 2005. “Jay was a young director and a young producer and he brought that enthusiasm and commitment to the board of directors,” said Armbruster, who served with Fox on the MBP board. “He brought years of knowledge, beyond his age.” Fox was elected MBP president in December 2009 and his term ended
in the late fall of 2011. Manitoba cattle producers suffered though difficult times during his tenure — floods wiped out hay and pasture land throughout the province in 2010 and inundated producers around Lake Manitoba in 2011. In addition to his contribution to the province’s cattle industry, Fox and Angela were named Manitoba’s Outstanding Young Farmers in 2008. Kim Crandall, a producer and MBP director from Winnipegosis, will remember Fox for his commitment to the MBP and his dedication to family. When the MBP didn’t have a general manager for a couple months in 2011, Fox drove to Winnipeg several times a week to work at the association’s office. However, Crandall said Fox didn’t stay overnight in Winnipeg because he wanted to be home with Angela and their children, Devon, Charlee, Porter and Major, aged two to 14. Donations in Fox’s name can be made to any branch of TD Canada Trust. The contributions will go toward a trust fund for his children. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

CONSERVATION | ALUS PROJECT
Sask. starts Alternative Land Use Services pilot Four RMs to participate | Program pays landowners for the environmental benefits they provide society BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
Four Saskatchewan rural municipalities east of Regina have been selected to participate in a pilot conservation project. Producers in the RMs of South Qu’Appelle, Indian Head, Francis and Lajord will have access to funding through the Alternative Land Use Services project once it is operating this spring. The three-year demonstration project was announced at the Agricultural
Producers Association of Saskatchewan’s recent annual meeting. APAS has worked for years to establish ALUS as a way to recognize farmers for the environmental benefits they provide to society. Norm Hall, chair of the organization’s environment committee and newly elected president of APAS, said it has taken a long time to get the project off the ground, mostly because of funding issues. “The original funding model was looking at trying to get government funding (to) get the public to pay for it,”
he said in an interview. “Governments now don’t have an appetite for that.” Instead, APAS is working with the Delta Waterfowl Foundation, which offered money from private sources. The other partners are the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds. The project will be similar to other ALUS projects in Alberta, Ontario and Prince Edward Island. A manager will be hired to co-ordinate the project and help farmers apply for money for improving wetlands and providing habitat.
Hall said the four RMs are strategically located on the Trans-Canada Highway. Individual projects will be visible to the public and policy makers. “There happens to be a creek that runs through town,” he added, referring to Regina’s Wascana Creek. “The RM of Lajord is at the headwaters of Wascana Creek and what better place for a project.” Hall said he hopes the project can continue for longer than three years. “If we hit the five-year mark and things are going good and we can continue funding, we’ll continue it
and try and expand it,” he said. Ontario’s project in Norfolk County started as a three-year project in 2007 and has recently expanded. Jim Fisher, Delta Waterfowl’s director of conservation policy, said Saskatchewan faces environmental challenges that are best dealt with by farmers. However, a top-down approach doesn’t work. “We’ve come to the realization that ALUS is nothing else than a brand new way for conservation to be delivered in Canada,” he said in a news release. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

A former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool executive is the new chair of the Canadian Wheat Board. Bruce Johnson, who headed up the pool’s grain group before being fired from that post in 1999, was selected by the wheat board’s board of directors as its new chair Dec. 19. Johnson has served on the CWB’s board since his appointment by then-agriculture minister Chuck Strahl in 2006. “I look forward to the opportunity to serve farmers during this time of great change as we transition to a competitive market environment,” Johnson said in a news release. Johnson wasn’t made available to The Western Producer for comment. He replaces Allen Oberg as chair, who, along with the board’s other farmer-elected directors, was ousted following the passage of Bill C-18. Oberg and seven other former directors are proceeding with their legal case against the legislation. “If Bill C-18 is legal and it goes through as it’s written now, (Johnson is) going to be working for (agriculture minister) Gerry Ritz,” said Bill Gehl, chair of the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance. “He doesn’t work for farmers. He’ll do what he’s told to do.” The 15-member board has been replaced by a body of five federally appointed directors: Johnson, David Carefoot, Glen Findlay, Ken Motiuk and CWB president Ian White. “Our immediate focus as a board will be to provide stability in the marketing of western Canadian grain,” Johnson said in the news release. “As we move forward, our board will work closely with the CWB’s leadership team to offer farmers and international grain customers a superior package of contracts and services, building on this organization’s 76-year history, its expertise and its valued reputation as a trustworthy supplier of grain to the world marketplace. “ Johnson’s resume also includes stints as chief executive officer of Winnipeg-based Ag Pro Grain, CEO of FarmGro Organic Foods in Regina and operations manager of Northern S a l e s i n W i n n i p e g .

The Saskatchewan Watershed Authority faces a backlog of complaints to investigate after two years of widespread excess moisture led farmers to take drainage into their own hands.

170, are at what he calls the informal stage, while six are at a more serious formal stage of investigation. The latter involves a formally filed complaint. Delegates attending the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities convention in November complained about landowners who undertook their own work and caused problems for others. A resolution from the RM of Sliding Hills in eastern Saskatchewan asked the province to enforce its drainage legislation. A delegate from Sliding Hills said the actions of some put infrastructure and property in danger and caused financial hardship for municipalities and landowners. He said RM officials don’t know who has permits and who doesn’t. “By the time somebody comes out and has a look, we find out they’re not permitted and the damage has already occurred.” NDP agriculture critic Cathy Sproule asked Duncan during the legislature’s December sitting what the province is doing to send farmers the message that the offences are serious. She said she had received a letter from a reeve in eastern Saskatchewan who said illegal drainage has “gone beyond craziness.” Duncan said the SWA is moving some of its employees into eastern Saskatchewan, where most of the complaints originated, in an attempt to clear up the backlog. “The watershed authority is actively working on a plan to move through all of that backlog, whether it be using their own internal resources, Mr. Speaker, or looking at some outside resources that may help,” he said during question period. Ducks Unlimited says wetland protection is one way to control drainage. It claims Saskatchewan has one of the highest wetland loss ratios in the country at an estimated 28 acres per day. “Unlicensed drainage is having a profound effect on downstream landowners and infrastructure throughout Saskatchewan,” said provincial operations manager Brent Kennedy. The organization argues that effectively used wetlands can help control water quality and store water that might otherwise flood productive lands or communities. It wants nonpermitted drainage to stop and has asked the province to establish a provincial wetlands policy. Duncan said his ministry is in the early stages of doing just that. A steering committee is setting out terms of reference for such a policy and expects to consult with stakeholders within the next year, including farm and conservation organizations. He said the penalties for unauthorized drainage will also be reviewed. They were set when farms were smaller and the fines were an adequate deterrent, he added. “We’re to the point now where farming operations are very large and it may be seen by some producers as just the cost of doing business,” he said. “They’ll do the project, pay the fine and move on.”

SASK. WORKER’S COMPENSATION ACT | FARMING
Include farmers in WCB: report One-third of Saskatchewan farm workers without coverage | Committee recommends all workers be covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
A committee has recommended that farming be included among the compulsory occupations covered by the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board. The committee, which conducted the quadrennial review of the province’s Workers’ Compensation Act, submitted its report to provincial labour minister Don Morgan in early December. Among its 57 recommendations is that the Workers’ Compensation Act apply to all employees in the province with no exclusions, which the report notes is “a very major shift in the workers’ compensation system in Saskatchewan.” WCB chief executive officer Peter Federko said the recommendation would have far-reaching consequences. “What this recommendation would mean, as I understand it, is all employees in all industries would be required to be covered,” he said. “Specifically to the industry of farming, if somebody in the agricultural sector — a far mer — has employees, they would be considered an employer and would be required to provide coverage to those employees.” Farmers and ranchers in Saskatchewan can now purchase workers’ compensation coverage, as well as coverage from private insurers. The report highlights concerns about private insurance: employers may not provide it because it’s not required, and the costs for coverage can increase following “even just one very major event.” Manitoba already has mandatory coverage, while Alberta’s Wild Rose Agricultural Producers “very narrowly” passed a resolution in favour of the change in 2011. “Anytime regulation is imposed on farmers or businesses, there’s always a push back,” said WRAP president Humphrey Banack. “The push back was not from the fact of recognizing the risk. Virtually everyone at the convention recognized the risk.” The Saskatchewan report recommends updating the Workers’ Compensation Act to reflect changes to the agriculture industry since the legislation was introduced in the late 1970s. “Many exclusions may have come about for historical reasons that are no longer relevant in the industrial structures of the 21st century,” the report said. “Most agricultural production is now part of the global economy and is undertaken on a large scale very different from the traditional family farm. Workers are doing paid jobs in a sector where serious injuries and even fatalities are, unfortunately, not rare.” According to the report, more than 30 percent of workers in Saskatchewan did not have coverage in 2009. It cites Occupational Health and Safety statistics that approximately 14 workrelated deaths occur annually in farming and ranching, and that the agricultural sector accounts for more access=subscriber section=news,none,none
than one-third of all work-related fatalities. More than 200 injuries in the sector require hospitalization in the province annually. “Lack of WCB coverage means that uncovered employers are burdening the general medical system with health care costs that covered employers must pay for, thereby creating an uneven playing field,” said the report. Banack said it can be difficult making the WCB system work with the
unique and sometimes flexible aspects of agricultural work. The number of employees on a farm can vary over the course of a harvest. “Their programs are kind of like putting a square peg in a round hole and there’s a little work we have to do around those edges to make it fit because we are a different industry.” Banack uses WCB coverage for his farm and said it’s worth considering. “We should make sure that we have those employees covered,” he said. “It’s a conscientious right to do it.”
The Saskatchewan government will spend the winter reviewing recommendations that farm workers should automatically be covered under workers’ compensation rules. | FILE PHOTO

INTERNATIONAL FARM POLITICS | NEW GROUP
New organization needed to speak for world’s farmers Representing agriculture at trade meetings | World Farmers’ Organization has 29 country members and more waiting in the wings BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
GENEVA — A new international farm organization is forming out of the ashes of last year’s collapse of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers. Canada is leading the way. The World Farmers’ Organization has been created with a head office in Rome and former North Dakota National Farmers Union president Robert Carlson as the first president. A key driver behind the new organization was the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and president Ron
Bonnett, who served as interim president until the founding meeting in mid-December. Bonnett, who remains the North American representative on the board of directors, helped create the working group that led to the proposal for a new organization. The CFA is the sole Canadian member and has budgeted $25,000 annually for the organization. The WFO already has 29 country members with others waiting in the wings, Bonnett said during a December meeting of the World Trade Organization in Geneva. Earlier, he had been in Rome for the
RON BONNETT WORLD FARMERS’ ORGANIZATION
founding WFO meeting. Bonnett said a new international farm organization is needed to deal with international organizations that make policies affecting farmers and
need farmer input. “One of the things we are finding is that international organizations like the FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) and the World Bank are really reaching out to us,” he said. “They make policies that affect national governments, and if there is not an organization like ours, someone else will step up to say they speak for farmers and that is not necessarily good for us.” IFAP, which was created in 1946, imploded last year under the weight of budget de deficits and political dysfunction.
Canadian far m leaders often served as president, and Canadian David King was the longtime Parisbased secretary general. Canadian Jack Wilkinson stepped down in 2008 after six years as IFAP president and was replaced by Zambian farm leader Ajay Vashee, the first developing country president. King was soon fired and IFAP found itself in financial difficulty before it was put into receivership last year. Bonnett said that while the international farm organization does not always have a high profile, it plays a role at important international talks. “After the demise of IFAP, a lot of groups came forward claiming to speak for farmers to international organizations,” he said. “They were often left-wing groups that represented organic, wanted to get corporate out of farming, wanted to press food self-sufficiency. These are part of the debate, but they do not represent the full picture of farm interests and this was the kind of advice they were getting.” The CFA contribution, set by a WFO formula, is just one-third of the dues it paid to IFAP. The total WFO budget for the first year is $500,000. The decision was made to locate the head office in Rome because of the presence of FAO, the World Food Programme and other international agricultural programs. Bonnett said the WFO will have stronger governance and financial oversight to avoid the problems that brought the IFAP down. “With good governance rules, you can have a bad president but there is a check on that.”

A deadline for input into a southern Alberta land use plan has been extended to April 30 from its original deadline of Dec. 19. The Alberta government said Dec. 16 in a news release that it would allow additional feedback on the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan because of concerns about property rights that might affect the plan. The province is conducting open houses in January to discuss property rights concerns after bills passed by former premier Ed Stelmach’s government caused widespread unease among rural landowners about property rights protection. The South Saskatchewan regional plan was submitted to government in March. It outlines ways to address water supply, economic development and conservation in the southern Alberta region but was based on land use bills in force at the time that may be changed pending public input. The public input period for a regional plan for the Lower Athabasca region of northeastern Alberta has also been extended.

Trade minister defends anti-protectionist stance Protected sectors have a place, says Ed Fast

DIFFERENT BOX, SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENTS.
BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
GENEVA — Canadian trade minister Ed Fast was one of the leaders at a recent World Trade Organization meeting to denounce the evils of protectionism. He also joined other ministers in signing an anti-protectionism pact. “We believe that protectionism is toxic to our efforts to emerge from the global economic crisis that applies to countries around the world and that’s why I was quite encouraged to see the number of countries that had the courage to sign onto a more robust anti-protectionism convention,” Fast said during an interview at the December WTO meeting. But like generations of Canadian trade ministers before him, Fast also has the job of balancing trade promotion with defending Canadian supply management protections that include tariffs as high as 300 percent. He said it is not a problem. “I don’t see a contradiction because in Canada we’ve had 40 years of experience in supply management,” he said. “There have been some adjustments. Supply management has served Canada well and that’s why we are committed to continuing to sustain that system of production.” Pressed on what free trade advocates see as a contradiction, the trade minister said almost all countries have sensitive economic areas they want to protect from undue trade competition. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the European Union are in the same boat, he added. “Our government has been consistent in declaring its support for supply management,” he said. “I think within the world trading context, there is virtually no country in the world that doesn’t have some area of sensitivity. The challenge we have is moving forward, identifying opportunities to expand our trade relations as we continue to make it very clear that we will continue to support Canada’s system of supply management.” While that answer may not cut it with critics of supply management, it is precisely what many of Fast’s agricultural constituents want to hear. Fast’s British Columbia riding is an
ED FAST CANADIAN TRADE MINISTER
agricultural powerhouse boasting chicken, dairy, poultry and egg farms, one of the largest blueberry industries in North America, raspberries and a significant greenhouse sector. The Abbotsford area produces 18 to 20 percent of all farm cash receipts in B.C. “We are the number one agricultural community in British Columbia and certainly a leader in Canada,” he said. “When it comes to poultry and eggs, we have the most intensely farmed farmland in Western Canada, if not Canada.” His supply management farmers “certainly engage with me on a very regular basis,” he said. So when Fast insists protected sectors can co-exist with trade-oriented producers, it is an issue close to home. Fast’s rise in federal Conservative politics has been rapid. Six years ago, he was a corporate and commercial lawyer in Abbotsford with a 24-year career and a place in municipal politics. Then, sitting Conservative MP Randy White decided to retire and 50-year-old Fast won the nomination to replace him. He headed to Ottawa after the 2006 election. In Parliament as a rookie MP, he was picked as chair of a parliamentary committee in 2009 and was elevated to cabinet as trade minister after the 2011 election, instantly becoming one of Canada’s primary faces abroad. Fast is a prominent minister in a government that has established trade deals as one of its key economic policies. After seven months on the job, he rhymes off country after country he has visited on every continent. “It certainly is an exhausting schedule we’re undertaken, but it’s a privilege to do this. This is one of those portfolios that, unlike some others, generates a significant amount of good news for Canadians. It is about prosperity for Canadians, about job creation.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Your generous donations to the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board allowed us to take Ag Minister Gerry Ritz to court for trying to destroy the CWB without first consulting prairie farmers through a vote. On December 7, 2011, Justice Douglas Campbell ruled that Mr. Ritz was in violation of Section 47.1 of the CWB Act. He told the Harper Government that it is not above the law. It too must obey the laws of Canada. Because of your moral and financial support the Friends won this court battle. But there are more court battles ahead before we win the war to save our CWB. The Federal Government is appealing Justice Campbell’s decision so we’ll be back in court again in the near future. That means more expensive legal bills.

WATER | UPPER QUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;APPELLE WATER SUPPLY PROJECT
New water supply system would help irrigation Regina-Moose Jaw corridor | System would supply cities and industry, but it would also permit irrigation on 110,000 acres BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
MOOSE JAW, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A regional water supply system to service the Regina-Moose Jaw corridor and allow for agricultural irrigation is inching closer to reality. The project known formally as the Upper Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Water Supply Project, but as Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle South in irrigation circles, has been in the design and study phases for years. Its primary purpose would be to supply more water to the growing cit-
ies of Regina and Moose Jaw and the industrial corridor between the two. The recent announcement of a new potash mine near Bethune, Sask., adds to the demand. However, it would also permit at least 110,000 acres of irrigation. Engineer Dale Miller, who is with technical support firm Aecom,has conducted many of the studies. He told the recent Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association annual meeting that more farmland than that could be irrigated from the system that would run from the south end of Lake Diefen-
baker to Buffalo Pound Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real number is going to be much higher,â&#x20AC;? he told irrigators, suggesting it could be as much as 300,000 acres. Currently, water flows from Lake Diefenbaker to Buffalo Pound through a 35 kilometre man-made channel built in the 1960s and about 62 km of natural river channel. However, the flow has been reduced due to weed growth and silt. An examination in 2009 of different alternatives on how best to meet future demand settled on four
options. Of those, the construction of a new channel south of the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Valley would cost the least and be done quickest, Miller said. It would run along Highway 42 to Marquis and across to Buffalo Pound north of the Highway 2 causeway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes a lot of sense,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The environmental impacts are a fraction of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have inside the valley. And it has the big advantage of allowing about 120,000 acres of irrigation that could come from that canal. Probably the only down side is that you would have to pump the water.â&#x20AC;? access=subscriber section=news,none,none

The existing channel would also be maintained to supply the first four or five cubic metres of water and winter water needs. The South Central Enterprise Region, based in Moose Jaw, was asked to co-ordinate a more recent 18 month, $1.5 million feasibility study. Surveys and maps have been completed, as has a study of potential sensitive environmental and heritage sites. Golder Associates found many species at risk and heritage sites and presented a report to the region in August. However, Miller said the experts did not identify anything that would prevent the project from proceeding. The University of Saskatchewan is conducting a water demand study to project future needs in the entire Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle River basin. Miller said a new pumping station could at peak flow supply 70 cubic metres per second, compared to the approximately four m3/s that flow from the existing channel. Of that, 21 cubic metres would be for municipalities and industries, one for grain land and 48 cubic metres for irrigation development. He added that as part of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term plan it should look at how to reduce its reliance on winter water through the pump station. It could better use the storage available in Buffalo Pound to provide water at that time. In fact, Miller said all new users, such as potash mines, should be told to have some water storage on site. A feasibility report on the pump station location and construction was expected this month. Miller said all of the five possible sites are difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike the 1960s, we have to deal with a full reservoir,â&#x20AC;? he said. It will take about three years to build and it has to be done when water levels are low and with maximum ice cover. Design work on the spillway and supply canal should be complete by spring. An economic overview will be the last piece of the puzzle. It is expected by July. The region is to deliver its final report to Enterprise Saskatchewan by September. Miller said in his view the government could give the go-ahead by the end of March 2013. Within five years, the construction could be complete. Irrigation could be added throughout the process and afterward. By the 2021 SIPA conference, the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;partyâ&#x20AC;? should be on the agenda, he said. But Miller warned irrigators not to promote the project strictly for irrigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sell this as a societal benefit project,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Irrigation is a big benefit but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the primary one.â&#x20AC;? He also said it is the irrigation side of the project that will make it economical to build. Saskatchewan agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of irrigation development agreed. John Linsley said adding irrigation to a water supply project adds value to both urban and rural areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really interested in is what the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle South could attract to the area in terms of irrigated crops, with the Global Transportation Hub between Regina and Moose Jaw as a distribution centre,â&#x20AC;? he said.

WATER | INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION
New corporation would spearhead irrigation in Sask. Public-private corporation | Industry says longer-term institutions will be more effective than short-term government programs STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Saskatchewan irrigators are proposing a new corporation to spearhead development over the next 20 years. Roger Pederson, president of the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association, said a new public-private corporation would need $25 million over five years to produce studies and designs, and secure investment for the work that needs to be done. “The long-term nature of irrigation development means that the shortterm ad hoc programs that have been provided by governments in the past in Saskatchewan have not been an effective framework for development,” says the proposal released at the recent SIPA annual meeting. “L onger term institutions and arrangements will be required.” The Saskatchewan Irrigation Development Corp. could be that
vehicle, Pederson said. The SIDC grew out of studies done in 2008. A Time to Irrigate identified the need for a framework to expand irrigation development. Alberta has a far more extensive irrigation system from a much smaller water supply than Saskatchewan has in Lake Diefenbaker. “We really haven’t seen the massive irrigation development, the utilization of our water and our soils, to the potential that was envisioned with the construction of the Gardiner Dam and the establishment of Lake Diefenbaker,” Pederson said. “We
have the potential to equal or surpass Alberta in our irrigated agriculture in the province and we certainly need to really address that seriously.” About 300,000 acres are currently irrigated. Estimates suggest Saskatchewan could develop 385,000 acres in the next 15 years, and another 1.8 million acres beyond that. This would require investment of at least $3 billion over 40 years. The SIDC proposal notes that Saskatchewan has suffered from an inconsistent and unstable framework for development. The responsi-
bility for irrigation often shifts from one ministry to another or to crown corporations. “Irrigation districts remain small and have extremely limited capacities to develop their own small acreages let alone plan for a transformation of the regional economy,” the proposal said. Pederson said SIPA does not have the resources to lead an expansion process but its members were willing to work on the proposal for how that could be done. The plan sets out a forecasted fiveyear budget, with about five percent
of the annual cost allocated to administration and the remainder used for studies and design. The SIDC would be financed by SIPA, federal and provincial grants, and private sector contributions. Pederson said the corporation could be set up quickly if governments give their approval. John Linsley, manager of irrigation services at Saskatchewan agriculture, said officials are evaluating the idea. “The proposal’s fairly new to us,” he told reporters. “At this point we’re taking a serious look at it.”

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Proponents of more irrigation in Saskatchewan shouldn’t let themselves be swayed by detractors and myths, says an engineer. Dale Miller of Aecom, an international consulting company, has heard them all. He told the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association annual meeting that one of the biggest myths is that there is a lack of water in the South Saskatchewan River, which feeds Lake Diefenbaker. He said Alberta sends probably closer to 70 percent of its water downstream than the 50 percent it is required to send. The annual average amount is 5.5 million dams cubed (1,000 cubic metres). Miller said the licenses issued to Lake Diefenbaker users require about 610,000 dams cubed and the new Upper Qu’Appelle Water Supply Project would need just 250 dams cubed. “The issue is not water. It’s entitlement,” he said. “Be prepared to have agencies like SaskPower say we need that water for power generation.” The crown corporation produces 186 megawatts of electricity from the Coteau Creek Hydroelectric Station near the Gardiner Dam. “The political decision here is who is entitled to the water,” Miller added. “That is a big issue.” Another myth involves water from glaciers. According to the Canadian Water Resources Journal, 2.8 percent of the flow from the Bow River comes from glacial melt. On the Red Deer River, glacial flow accounts for 0.6 of the total. “If the glaciers dried up tomorrow, three percent or less (flow would be lost),” he said. “These are the facts that you have to get out.”

GRAIN BAGS | STORAGE OPTION
Farmers more confident in grain bags Proper temperature key to success | Little research has been done, but anecdotal evidence indicates bags can be effective BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU
Bernie Schloorlemmer spent a few days earlier this month hauling high moisture canola out of a grain bag to the local elevator to be dried. Poor harvest weather this fall forced hundreds of farmers in Alberta’s Peace River region to harvest tough grain and then cross their fingers that they could dry it before it started to heat. All of Schloorlemmer’s canola and wheat came off the field tough. “It was 18.7 (percent) moisture canola coming out of a grain bag and it was fine,” said Schloorlemmer, who farms near Rycroft, Alta. He has stored grain in bags for the past seven years. “The bottom line is if it’s tough we put it in a bag; if it’s dry we put it in a bin,” said Schloorlemmer. “We have a big farm and we don’t even own a dryer, we have such confi-
dence in putting tough grain in bags.” Schloorlemmer estimates 25 to 30 farmers in his area of the central Peace bought grain-bagging equipment this fall as a way to handle tough grain. “When it’s 24 above and beginning of September, we’re patient and don’t take canola off,” he said. “When we get into the middle or the end of October, we get panicky and take it off and stuff it into the bags.” The keys to ensuring safe storage are making sure the outside temperature is cool and sealing the bags quickly. Schloorlemmer said the temperature of the bag will often increase one or two degrees when he is monitoring the canola and then drop back down and stabilize. “I have more confidence monitoring grain in a bag than a bin.” Schloorlemmer’s experience has given him the confidence to put hundreds of thousands of dollars of high priced crop in long plastic bags at the
edge of his fields, but there is little research that agrologists and grain bag salespeople can use to assure other farmers that bags are a safe storage system. Allan Gifford of Foster’s Seed and Feed in Beaverlodge, Alta., who sells bagging equipment to farmers, said he is careful when recommending maximum moisture levels for storing grain in bags. “We are very cautious,” he said. “Canola is worth a lot of money. We’ve seen too many losses in bins for us to recommend pushing the limits very far.” Gifford has been hesitant to use grain bags on his own farm and didn’t store canola in grain bags this year. “We’re retailing them and selling the machines, but we don’t want people to have problems,” he said. “We want things to work. We want to err on the side of caution. We don’t recommend pushing the limits on
what we’re certain will work.” Aaron Yeager of Grain Bags Canada said he hasn’t seen long-ter m research on storing canola in grain bags, but he knows what works on his east-central Saskatchewan farm. “Putting canola in a bag is not an issue,” said Yeager, who farms near Lake Lenore, Sask. “On our farm, we put just about 100 percent of our canola in a bag. It’s a safer place to put canola.” However, there are caveats. He doesn’t recommend dumping high moisture canola into a bag and forgetting about it for the winter. “If you got stuff that’s 20 (percent moisture), for peace of mind I would probably dry it pretty quickly as soon as harvest is over,” said Yeager. “I’m comfortable with 12 or 13 and wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.” He said he would feel safe leaving 12 or 13 percent moisture canola in a bag until February or March before drying it.
“The window for canola for moisture is a lot bigger than what people think.” Yeager also recommended checking grain that was harvested on a hot day. The bag’s long, narrow design allows canola to cool more quickly than when in a bin, especially with cool, prairie weather. “The bags let the heat pass through.” The biggest tricks are knowing the condition of the grain and the temperature of the day when the grain went in the bag and ensuring that the bag is properly sealed. Brad Hanmer of Govan, Sask., said he has lots of canola in grain bags, especially crop that was harvested in hot weather. “We will put our out-of-condition canola in a grain bag on purpose,” he said. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

The worst place for hot canola is a tall, narrow wooden grain elevator where the heat rises. “In our experience, grain bags are a great way to manage hot canola.” However, bagged canola must still be managed, especially with wildlife and the occasional heated spot in the bag. “As quick as we can, we pick it up. You’ve got to manage it properly,” said Hanmer. “Bags aren’t perfect. With anything, you’ve got to use common sense.” Kim Stonehouse, a regional crop specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said a late, wet harvest in 2009 gave the department an opportunity to learn more about storing higher moisture canola in grain bags. Eighty percent of the canola in northeastern Saskatchewan was still in the field at the beginning of November of that year. Farmers were looking at storing their canola in grain bags in an effort to buy time until it could be dried. “The farmers wanted to know how long they could keep canola without heating,” said Stonehouse. “We didn’t have much information on even storing it in a bin because all of our information was based on 2,000 bushels or smaller. Everybody is storing things in 5,000 bu. or bigger. We were saying a couple days at most and that was just an estimate based on what they did know and we had absolutely no data on bags.” Stonehouse said canola in bags did pretty well that year. Temperatures were below 10 C as the canola was combined and the bags filled, so the crop cooled off quickly. Some of it lasted in the bag until it was taken out in the spring. However, some canola began to get warm after almost a month. “Getting 26 to 28 days storage was pretty good. Farmers were pretty happy with that. It was probably better than being able to put it in a bin.” By probing the bags ever y six metres to take temperature readings, provincial officials learned that the moisture content of the grain was not even. The temperature started to rise in spots in a couple of bags and the farmers quickly emptied them. “You need to monitor them very closely,” Stonehouse said. “That’s my biggest caution, is you have to keep your eye on it. When they start to go bad, they go bad really quick. I don’t recommend people putting canola in a bag unless there is no other option, and in this case there wasn’t another option.” Canola agrologist Doug Moisey reminded farmers during an Alberta Canola Producers Commission meeting in Camrose that they need to monitor their grain bins for heating. “Go home and check some bins,” he said. A University of Manitoba research project has discovered after one year of a two year study that it’s safe to store dry canola in grain bags for up to a year without spoiling. “If you store the canola at a moisture content of one to two points below dry and it is stored on a well drained area and no protrusion of the bag, it should be able to store grain for up to a year,” said Digvir Jayas, a professor of biosystems engineering at the U of M. Jayas’s project, which was funded by the Canola Council of Canada, compared canola stored at three, eight, 10 and 14 percent moisture. The bags were filled at the beginning of October 2010 and kept for 10 months. As expected, the eight and 10 per-

The 14 percent moisture canola was spoiled and mouldy, said Jayas. “We would be shocked if the 14 percent moisture did not spoil,” he said. “As the moisture content gets higher and higher, the chances of spoilage would increase.” Twelve percent moisture will replace 14 percent moisture canola in the second year of research. “My personal feeling is even 12 percent would spoil. People, in my view, should not be using it for long-term storage,” said Jayas. Jim Bessel, an agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada, said it’s that discrepancy between research findings and anecdotal evidence from farmers that the council is trying to address. “We hear these testimonials, but we need some good hard science to verify, not only the length of storage for canola, but the quality factor,” said Bessel. “We just don’t know.” Yeager said most farmers wouldn’t leave tough canola in a bag until July. He speculated that the canola in the research study started to spoil when the air temperature increased during the spring. Bessel said leaving canola in the bag for 10 months gives researchers information on when it’s best to take it out. “That was the original thought behind all this research, is once the project is complete, at least we have some data to work from and some modelling to help us understand what is happening or not happening.” Jayas said he found hot spots in one of the 14 percent canola bags in the second week of storage. “All 14 percent bags were five to 10 C warmer than eight and 10 percent bags, even in peak winter.”

EDMONTON — Ken Hoppins took advantage of a recent bear pit session with Alberta cabinet ministers to ask a question about grain bags: who is responsible for them? The Kneehill County councillor, who asked his question of both agriculture minister Evan Berger and environment and water minister Diana McQueen, said even rural municipal councillors like himself don’t know which government department is in charge of trying to find a solution to grain bags. “Agriculture Service Boards would like some help to get the problem solved,” said Hoppins. McQueen said it is an issue she is hearing about more frequently. “It comes up more and more,” said McQueen. However, she didn’t have a clear answer about what councillors should do. It’s a problem in need of a solution for rural municipalities across
the Prairies. “I think there are becoming increasingly more grain bags and we don’t know what we’re going to do with them. You can’t burn them. You can’t bury them,” said Hoppins. “Somebody has to take the lead, whether it’s environment or agriculture.” Saskatchewan grain farmer Brad Hanmer bought a special grain bagrolling machine to reroll his crumpled, unruly bags. About 100 rolled up bags are piled in a corner of the farm, waiting for the day they can be recycled. The pile is growing larger each year. “It is an issue. I don’t want my countryside littered with plastic,” said Hanmer, who farms near Govan. Creating a recycling system for all agricultural plastic has been an ongoing issue on the Prairies for years. It was first driven by the switch from sisal to twine for bales, then to plastic silage tarps, plastic bale bags and more recently grain bags. access=subscriber section=crops,news,none

It’s estimated 4,300 to 5,000 tonnes of polypropylene twine and cord were sold in Alberta in 2007 and 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of polyethylene material like silage bags and covers. While no one has official statistics, the amount of polyethylene material is expected to increase dramatically with the popularity of grain bags. The Alberta Plastics Recycling Association formed the Alberta Plastics Working Group in 2010 to find the best way to recycle agricultural plastics. A half dozen collection sites were established to get an understanding of the amount, type and quality of material involved and if there was a market for it. The pilot project also brought in plastic from British Columbia’s fruit growing region. Association executive director Grant Cameron said one of the biggest obstacles was trucking the plastic to the recycling plant in southern Alberta. “It’s very bulky. When you buy it, it’s nicely rolled up from the factory. Once they are used, they’re crumpled and misshapen and hard to get rolled.” Crowfoot Plastics at the Green Acre Colony in Hussar, Alta., has been accepting the agricultural plastic as part of the pilot project. The plant, which is a joint venture with Merlin Plastics, had recycled more than 300,000 pounds of agricultural plastic as of October, including material from Saskatchewan’s Grain Bag Recycling Pilot Project.
Dan Hofer of Crowfoot Plastics said 100,000 to 200,000 pounds of grain bags have been washed, extruded and turned back into resin at the facility in the past year, but it is not a pleasant job. “They don’t have to be spotless, but some are gross. There is rotten grain and silage in them.” Hofer said the last shipment from Saskatchewan looked like someone dragged the bags in mud before rolling them up. “The dirtier it is, the more cost to us to clean,” he said. “There are enough other plastics around than to worry about grain bags.” Cameron said government, recyclers and farmers are trying hard to find an answer to the problem of agricultural plastic waste, despite the obvious challenges still to overcome. “We’re much closer to a solution than when the process started five years ago.” Francis De Beaudrap has 50 to 60 used grain bags rolled up and piled at the back of his farmyard. He has used the bags on his farm near Trochu, Alta., for four years and estimates 30 to 40 other producers in his area also use them. At an average of 10 bags a farm, that’s 300 bags of roughly 300 pounds each of plastic that need to be recycled in his central Alberta community. Grain bags are an economical storage solution for De Beaudrap when handling high bulk grain such as barley. It avoids the expense of trucking the grain back to the yard and into the bins.

He is not ready to give away the high quality plastic, believing there should be some kind of refund system similar to pop bottles. “I am storing them until there is some kind of market,” he said. “They’re wrapped, stored and bundled. I am not going to give it to somebody.” Cameron said it’s not the first time a farmer has suggested a refund as an incentive to return plastic grain bags. “This is not a new conversation. It’s interesting a farmer doesn’t expect to get paid for other farm material or tractor tires or garbage hauled into the landfill, but they would like to get paid for grain bags,” he said. “Why grain bags? Nobody is asking money back for twine; only grain bags. It’s a challenging one for the industry. Nobody is ever going to get back from used grain bags what they paid for a virgin grain bag.” Cameron said the value of grain bags isn’t in a used bundle but in what happens after they are washed and turned into plastic pellets. “They are not sitting on copper wire.” Crowfoot Plastic pays $150 per tonne for the used bags, which is about half the value of clean used plastic. Cameron said it would be nice to pay farmers for making the effort to recycle the plastic bags, but a more feasible option may be pooling the money from the rec yclers and returning it to municipalities and landfills to offset handling and transportation costs.

PARLIAMENT | SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
Saskatchewan-based speaker youngest in Canadian history Speaker must keep order and remain non-partisan BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
Conservative MP Andrew Scheer agreed to step out of partisan politics to preside over the highly partisan Commons when he won election June 2 as House of Commons speaker. However, he insists that does not mean his constituents do not have a political voice on Parliament Hill. It is just behind the scenes. “In terms of representing my constituents, my office in ReginaQu’Appelle is still open and staffed
and if constituents have an issue with AgriStability, EI (employment insurance) or whatever, my impartiality in the chamber does not mean that I am not a representative of the people who elected me,” Scheer said during an interview in his ornate Parliament Hill office. “I talked to (former) speaker (Peter) Millikan about how he handled it and he said it is perfectly acceptable to bring matters before ministers, but not in a partisan way, not through speeches in the House.” In fact, he said with a laugh, his position as arbiter of the Commons access=subscriber section=news,none,none

may well give him better access to ministers. “It certainly gives you a certain
position when it comes to wanting to get a minister’s attention,” he said. “Being speaker certainly doesn’t impact my ability to have access. I make sure my constituents still have access to all the programs that are available. I am very cognizant that first and foremost, I am here to represent them.” Being speaker in the British parliamentary tradition is a balancing act. Speakers have their base in a political party and were sent to Parliament as political partisans, but are then expected to preside over debates without favouring their partisan tribe. Opposition MPs are always on watch for signs of partisanship. In

the 1950s, Liberal speaker LouisRené Beaudoin saw his reputation tarnished and his political career destroyed by Progressive Conservative accusations of partisanship in a ruling during the raucous Pipeline Debate in 1956. Scheer said he recognizes the balancing act, following the tradition of not attending his party’s weekly political caucus and avoiding any public hint of partisanship. In a ruling before Parliament rose for a six-week break in December, he chastised Conservative government MPs for their decision to applaud for almost five straight minutes Nov. 28 as votes were counted on legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly. “It was trying to spell out to the House some of the things I had observed and kind of laying down a bit of a marker on things I didn’t want to see, particularly the sustained applause throughout the vote,” he said. “That’s doesn’t seem to be helping the House much.” While the ruling was applauded, opposition MPs later complained about a separate ruling dismissing a Liberal grievance, arguing that Scheer might have had a conflict of interest. It goes with the job, but Scheer said he works hard to keep both sides of the House satisfied that he is being fair. “I would never want to put myself in a position where any member of any party would lose confidence in me as partisan,” he said. He won the job on a promise to try to return civility and order to an increasingly acrimonious Commons, and Scheer, a self-confessed chronic heckler when he was first elected in 2004, said he is making progress. “I don’t want to measure the House of Commons against perfection, but when I measure it against when I first got here, there is a marked improvement,” he said. “It requires the cooperation of all 308 members to get it done and I think we are moving in the right direction.” Scheer’s election as Canada’s 35th Commons speaker set several precedents. He was the first sitting Saskatchewan MP in 144 years of Canadian history to be chosen for the prestigious job. And having just turned 32, Scheer was the youngest speaker in Canadian history and second youngest in the British Commonwealth. The job comes with considerable perks — a $233,247 salary, a small Parliament Hill apartment and an historic residence on the Mackenzie King estate in the Gatineau Hills north of Ottawa in western Quebec. It also comes with significant responsibilities beyond refereeing Commons debates. He oversees a parliamentary budget of more than $400 million, a large parliamentary staff and a multibillion-dollar Parliament Hill renovation project that will eventually see the Commons temporarily displaced from its present site for the first time in more than 90 years. Scheer also juggles his obligation to get back to Regina to meet constituents and the fact that wife Jillian and their four young children still divide their time between Regina and Ottawa. Family arrangements will become more complicated when the kids reach school age.

Cattle improve biodiversity
AGRONOMY | PASTURE MANAGEMENT
Growing markets could make forages economically viable Maximize returns from pastureland | Cattle producers can save on feed costs by pasture grazing year round or reap extra income by growing forage crops for export markets FILE PHOTO
STORIES BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Canola may be king, but there’s still value in forages, producers were told at a recent Canadian Forage and Grassland Association conference. However, the sector is facing challenges: grasslands must compete for acres with canola, forages can be costly to export, herd sizes have decreased and the commodity’s value can be difficult to monetize because much of it is grazed and fed on the farm. “One of the challenges for the industry is to get a better sense of the value of that forage,” said association chair Doug Wray. “And I think if we can accurately describe that value, people will gain a new appreciation for what it brings and its ability to compete with the grain industry and the oilseed industry for land and resources.” Canola production may be up, but millions of tame and natural pasturelands remain across the Prairies. Wray said it’s in the best interest of producers to maximize their returns on those acres through resourceful management.
“A lot of the land we have forages on are best suited for forages. They’re not good canola acres,” he said. “They don’t work for canola or wheat, so that’s the reason they’re in forages. But in order to be economically viable you still have to do the very best job you can do to make it work.” David Kerr, who grazes cattle on a wide range of soil and grass types and forages, said he has cows that remain on pasture year round and bale graze in the winter, which drives down costs. He’s had calves gain as much as three pounds a day on grass. He told producers to be resourceful. “A lot of guys don’t graze their hay land. They feel its a detriment to their hay land,” said Kerr. “I don’t feel that way. As long you wait until after the ground freezes off, you can still get a lot of benefit off of that and it’s almost free.” There are growing export markets for forages, including Japan, which is already a common destination for compressed hay, and the United Arab Emeritus. China is also a potentially lucrative market, said Rollie Bernth, president
A lot of guys don’t graze their hay land.… As long you wait until after the ground freezes off, you can still get a lot of benefit off of that and it’s almost free. DAVID KERR CATTLE PRODUCER
of the U.S. National Hay Association. “If you look at where they’re capable of growing forage crops, it’s a long ways away from where it’s utilized,” he said. “It’s going to be many years, if ever, that they’re going to be able to be able to be self sustained in forage production.” However, different markets have different demands: what may be an acceptable product in the UAE may not be acceptable in Japan. He said it’s important that producers study these markets and understand the requirements of customers and governments. “It’s interesting how farmers like to grow a particular crop because it
works for them, but sometimes they forget about how to sell it,” said Bernth. Shipping provides a greater challenge because it’s expensive. Processing can cut down on costs, but there are limited facilities in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Consultant Allen Tyrchniewicz said prairie producers using domestic containers can pay as much as $84 per tonne to ship to ports in Vancouver, Montreal and New Orleans. Rates to Abu Dhabi run higher. Tyrchniewicz studied the viability of using the Port of Churchill to ship forages. It is Canada’s only Arctic seaport and the closest ocean port to Western Canada. The site has potential but cannot yet meet producers’ needs. However, he said forage prices should increase as the world’s demand for meat grows, which will cover the higher transportation costs. “And that I think is one of those long-term things,” said Tyrchniewicz. “Same thing with the Port of Churchill: We might not be able to act on it right now, but in the long term there might be some opportunities there.” access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none
Forage producers have a story to tell, says the chair of Canada Beef. Brad Wildeman, who is also president of the Pound-Maker feedlot and ethanol company near Lanigan, Sask., told the recent Canadian Forage and Grassland Association conference that cattle is a green business. “If we’re not going to raise cattle on that land, some of it’s going to get plowed up,” said Wildeman. “A lot more crops are going to get grown in areas where probably the land can’t sustain it.... We’re going to create a lot more problems. And in fact, as I always tell my eco-friends in the city: eating beef is one of the greatest things you can do for the environment.” He said science proves that forage and grasslands promote biodiversity, reduce soil erosion and assist in carbon sequestration. As well, grasslands provide habitat for wildlife and insects that pollinate crops, and some cattle owners may add water back to the land. The benefits can be even greater when wetlands are restored. “We’re not going to see the 1,000acre marshes ever restored that had Class 1 soils that are being used for canola (and) wheat production,” said Richard McBride of Ducks Unlimited Canada. “It’s very, very likely that well into the future those are going to remain farmland. But where we are seeing an interest in restoring wetland is the smaller one- to two-acre wetlands that are found in association with rolly landscapes ... where you have a lot of lands returning to forage production.” Producers won’t necessarily see those environmental benefits reflected on their bottom line, and higher commodity prices can encourage land conversion in areas where production is favourable. “When we start talking about biodiversity as a value, we don’t necessarily have dollar values,” said Ken Belcher of the University of Saskatchewan’s bioresource policy, business and economics department. The economic incentive is with annual crops, which narrows biodiversity. “We probably need to develop more than just a system of protected areas,” said Belcher. “There needs to be more of an integrated approach to develop biodiversity. There’s a need to integrate wildlife into the agricultural landscape.” Ducks Unlimited Canada presented information at the Dec. 13-14 conference in Saskatoon that said non-market values of forages in Saskatchewan are as high as $2.4 billion. Belcher provided research indicating well-managed grasslands also provide high diversity while not impacting economic returns. But there remains a tradeoff between production of market commodities and management for biodiversity. Some producers at the conference expressed concerns that biodiversity will be lost if no cash value is placed on it. “That’s where I think there is some value of understanding some of these tradeoffs, looking at things from more of a physical sense than a dollar sense,” said Belcher. “But that has to be embedded in the policy and it hasn’t been up until now.”

PASTURE MANAGEMENT | COYOTE CONTROL
The bane of every producer: the wily coyote Coyotes are deadly predators | Farmers and ranchers contend with crafty animals that will take on sheep and cattle BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN FREELANCE WRITER
A grey coyote strolls confidently out of the shed without so much as a glance at the red heeler that has been sleeping on the lawn in the afternoon sun, facing the road. It licks its lips as it slips through a small herd of snoozing horses before disappearing over an embankment toward the creek. The only sign of its passing is the three-month-old kitten missing from the shed — the last survivor from the litter. Coyotes gobble up their prey as quickly as they can, studying it carefully and then pouncing when the time is right. They eat their prey live and leave little if any evidence of an attack, says wildlife behaviourist Valerius Geist, professor emeritus of zoology at the University of Calgary. Their ability to analyze their prey and to perceive weaknesses evolved from necessity, says Geist. Coyotes had to compete with and protect themselves from much larger predators that hunted the enormous herbivores that roamed the continent during the Pleistocene Epoch. Larger predators including prehistoric wolves, sabre-tooth tigers and other gigantic cats, which used size and power to take down such prey. The smaller coyote developed cunning and patience, hunting smaller prey and seeking vulnerability when hunting larger animals. Whether defending against dogs that they consider a threat to their territory or sizing up a new prey animal, coyotes use a variety of tactics to determine how and when to attack, says Geist. At the beginning, a coyote will sit on its haunches and watch an animal’s behaviour, licking occasionally as it learns as much as it can about its target. As it gains insight, it will start making tentative approaches, sometimes nipping to test the target animal’s reactions. It will even engage in play with unsuspecting dogs. What may look like play is the progression of a deadly game, says Geist. The point will come in its investigation when the coyote or pack will execute a deadly attack. Until the late 18th century, coyote populations stayed in check largely through competition with wolves and through the loss of pups to a variety of predators. Coyote numbers throughout the Canadian Prairies grew rapidly with the advancement of farming and urbanization. They adapted easily to the human development that led to the eradication of wolves in areas where farmers settled and communities grew, says Geist. That has left farmers and ranchers to contend with a cunning little predator that has an easy time stealing sheep and is known to attack cows in their most vulnerable moment — while they’re giving birth to their new calves. Geist confirms that there have been incidents in which one or more coyotes have moved to the back of a cow
What seems like harmless play between this coyote and Labrador retriever in a pasture east of Blackfalds, Alta., is the coyote’s method of sizing up the dog and its owner before launching what could be a fatal attack. | MYRNA PEARMAN PHOTO and started eating the new calf as it emerges. While potentially devastating to livestock herds, coyotes are helpful as well, killing large numbers of mice and rodents, says Geist. Birds of prey, including hawks, owls and prairie falcons ,would likely pick up much of the slack if there were fewer coyotes, he says. But farmers and ranchers benefit directly from the large number of rodents a family of coyotes will eat through the year. In the absence of wolves, mange is the only natural check on coyote populations, killing infected animals
slowly and painfully, says Geist. The University of Northern British Columbia describes mange as a contagious mite, passed from animal to animal by direct contact and by contact at shared sites. Severely infected animals die from complications of mange, including exposure resulting from hair loss. Mange mites tend to catch hold in animals that are less healthy to begin with and then spreads by infesting their dens, which coyotes reuse if the area is too crowded for them to change households, says Geist. Good prices for pelts are the best
check in areas where there are populations of healthy coyotes, he says. As long as a few hunters and trappers are taking the best animals, those that remain have a positive effect in the local environment. Alberta Agriculture suggests that farmers and ranchers consult with their agricultural field specialists for advice on coyote control. The ministry’s Inspection and Investigation Branch has published a 77-page coyote predation manual and study guide, last updated in 2010 and available on its website at www1. agric.gov.ab.ca/general/progserv. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
nsf/all/pgmsrv403/$FILE/manualstudy-guide.pdf. Authors of the manual acknowledge the coyote’s extremely keen ability to learn, stating that its cunning and adaptability make it challenging to control individual animals. It states that guard dogs, specifically the large breeds developed for guarding sheep, are the most effective tool for reducing predation of livestock. Poisons are allowed only under licence and are not to be set out where there is potential for harming other animals, including dogs.

TREES | EVERGREEN BROWNING
Evergreen browning can be difficult to diagnose A dozen causes can be to blame | Autumn shed most common cause but winter damage and excess moisture also culprits BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Grant Wood hates getting calls about the browning of evergreens. “Out of all the (tree) topics, that is the most difficult to talk about because there’s about 12 totally different things that can cause evergreens to brown,” said the assistant professor in the University of Saskatchewan’s plant sciences department. T h e m o s t c o m m o n re a s o n i s autumn shed, a natural part of the aging process. A pine tree sheds needles that are three or four years old, while spruce and fir needles may take five or six years to brown and drop off. Wood said a tree will lose up to 12 inches of growth during autumn shed. “That’s dramatic and when you see it happening, the first thing you think is your tree is dying for sure,” he said. However, all is well if the ends of the branches are green because it means new growth is replacing what is being discarded. A tree owner needs to be concerned when the tree starts losing young needles it produced in the spring. “If they’re browning and falling off, you’ve got a problem. That’s not a good thing,” said Wood. Winter injury is probably the number one reason for browning outside of autumn shed. It is caused by a combination of frozen roots, just-above-freezing temperatures and strong, drying winds in late winter or early spring.
“You’ve got that wind and the warm temperatures just sucking the water out of the needles,” said Wood. It is often a big problem for young trees that Agriculture Canada’s agrienvironment services branch distributes for shelterbelts. They come out of a sheltered nursery and have one growing season to adapt to their new hostile environment on the bald prairie. Wood encourages farmers to do everything they can during the first three to five years of establishment to encourage snow cover around the young trees to insulate them from drying winds. They can use fences, mulch or even grain piles to help capture the snow. Flooding and drought are also common causes of evergreen browning on the Prairies. Excess moisture has been the biggest issue in the last two years for moisture-sensitive trees such as pines and Colorado spruce, which are native to the Rocky Mountains. “We take them off the side of a mountain and put them on a flat plain in clay and then we flood them and they turn brown,” said Wood. White spruce, which are native to the boreal forest and frequently found near lakes and rivers, can tolerate high water tables but don’t fare as well in drought conditions. Other causes of browning in evergreens include salty soil, insect damage, herbicide damage, disease damage, animal injury, nutrient deficiency, transplanting shock and frost damage. Wood said tree owners need to access=subscriber section=news,none,none
This is an example of autumn shed. The yellow needles, although large in number, are toward the centre of the branch. The tips are green. The yellowing occurred in September, which is when one or more years worth of needles are shed.
become detectives, uncovering clues for what might be behind the problem. “If the tree is 25 feet high, something was good at one time because it’s big, so what has changed in the last little bit?” The culprit may be something unexpected like a garage that was erected four years ago and compacted the root system. The damage that occurred back then may take four years to show up. Maybe it was a winter fire pit that dried out the needles on a nearby tree or runoff from a sprayer that was cleaned near a row of trees. Herbicides picked up through the root system can damage or kill trees, especially if the contamination occurs in spring during the new growth phase. Farmers who have questions about their trees can contact the university’s Gardenline at 306-966-5865 or gardenline@usask.ca during the summer hours between May 1 and Sept. 1. Provincial governments, nurseries, cities and other universities should also be consulted. A website operated by North Dakota State University can also be of help at www.ag.ndsu.edu/trees/.
Excess moisture, often in combination with excess salinity, shows up on this Colorado spruce as a purple/silver needle. The damage was found on the side of the tree facing a parking lot, where water had accumulated. Only new growth was affected. | GRANT WOOD PHOTOS

ANIMAL WELFARE | TIM HORTONS
SEEING EYE TO EYE
Reputation all important for restaurant BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Animal welfare advocates are monitoring production not only from the farm to the fork but also from the farm to the drive through. In Tim Hortons’ case, the stakes are large. The company is under pressure from its customers and investors. And when one of its suppliers falls under criticism, there’s a lot of money on the line. “For a big brand like Tim Hortons, reputation risk is huge,” said Tim Faveri, the company’s director of sustainability and responsibility. “It trumps all other risks, almost. If this will do damage to our brand, we’ve really got to evaluate and look at it.” Likewise, when a company such as Tim Hortons makes a change, it can send waves through its production chain, all the way to producers. “On their side, they can’t demand more than what we’re reasonably able to provide,” said Neil Ketilson of Sask Pork. Faveri told a recent Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan conference in Saskatoon that the coffee juggernaut began updating its animal-welfare policy when it fell under the watchful eye of the Humane Society of the United States after the opening of several restaurants in New York City. Today, the animal rights group is among Tim Hortons’ shareholders, and the company is being pushed to integrate cage-free eggs and gestation crate free pork into its supply chain. Faveri said Tim Hortons has begun consulting with its stakeholders, including producers, as it seeks a balance between meeting demands for animal welfare and transparency, keeping its product affordable and attractive and ensuring its supply chain is sustainable in the long term. “We don’t want to make a move that’s not in step with our industry partners,” Tim Hortons’ Julie Ashmore told the audience. “And we don’t want to make a move that hasn’t really been scientifically proven.” The company was applauded by many in the audience for seeking input from producers. “We’ve developed a lot of these things ourselves and quite frankly we think it’s very important for the industry to be involved in that rather than have someone else write the rules and then we have to either live with them or argue as to how they need to change to suit the industry’s needs,” said Ketilson. He said producers and processors have a right to be compensated as they deliver systems that demonstrate and document their production practices. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

LIVESTOCK FEED | DRIED DISTILLERS GRAIN
Wheat DDGs get passing grade Dried distillers grain | Corn DDGs have been well studied, so researchers focused on wheat BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
Dried distillers grain made from wheat is a suitable livestock feed substitute, researchers have determined. Corn DDGs have been well studied, but researchers w ith the Feed Opportunities from Biofuel Industries program (FOBI) wanted to know how wheat DDGs would work as a feed substitute for cattle, hogs, poultry and fish. The wheat did not perform the same way as corn in the studies, and researchers determined that more information is needed to create nutrient profiles and recommendations on byproduct use. The study included 24 projects worth $6 million at the universities of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Calgary, Agriculture Canada, Feedlot Health Services at Okotoks, Alta., and livestock industry partners. John McKinnon, a lead researcher from the U of S, said one of the largest research components monitored backgrounder and feedlot cattle, first at the university level and later at large
commercial feedlots and dairies. Wheat based DDGs were fed to backgrounder cattle whose normal ration is 50 percent grain. The intent was to monitor them from the time they were weaned until they were placed in a feedlot. Different trials replaced the barley ration with 50 and 100 percent of DDGs. McKinnon told the recent Renewable Fuels Association annual conference in Calgary that DDGs provided cattle with superior performance to a certain level, but then feed efficiency fell. “The wheat distillers grain was an excellent source of energy as well as protein source for these growing cattle.” He said cattle in the feedlot phase probably ate more DDGs because it tasted good, but they didn’t gain as well as rates increased. Comparisons were made between traditional barley based diets and corn and wheat based DDGs. Marbling levels dropped when the ration included 23 percent wheat DDGs. “That is because the energy con-
centration in wheat distillers grain is less than it is in corn. The higher fat level in the corn is a superior source of energy for these cattle,” he said. “It costs more money to get the same rate of gain.” Researchers learned that 20 percent rates for wheat DDGs was adequate, while corn DDGs could go as high as 40 percent. Feeding DDGs, either corn or wheat, had minimal effects on animal health. Meat carcass studies at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lacombe, Alta., found minimal impact on the eating quality of beef. There was no difference in flavour or tenderness, and there was a higher level of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the marbling fat of the muscle tissue, which has human health benefits. Hogs were studied for feed conversion and feed efficiency. They do not digest high fibre well, but new generation ethanol plants are producing a better quality of byproducts. The drying process is not as severe so the products should be better. “We are finding with the new gen-
eration plants, the fibre is more digestible so they are able to get higher inclusion rates in growing pigs as well as finishing pigs,” McKinnon said. Researchers also found fractionation of the DDGs resulted in a higher value protein concentrate for a hog diet. Weaned pigs did well with diets containing 15 percent DDGs, but levels of 20 percent or more affected gain and intake. The pigs seemed to eat more but gained less compared to traditional rations. “At the higher level at 30 percent, much like the cattle, there was a decrease in gain and the intakes were pretty constant, so the feed conversions were not as good at the higher levels,” he said. Researchers also looked at integration of an ethanol plant, a feedlot and biodigester to create a closed loop on the farm. Another component of the study looked at ways to improve ethanol yields from wheat and find ways to reduce viscosity of the mash to make it a more competitive feedstock for the ethanol industry. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

NUTRITION | MINERALS
Mineral deficiencies can cause big problems Small but essential part of nutrition plan | A 1,400 pound beef cow requires 0.4 pounds of minerals per day BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
STRATHMORE, Alta. — Mineral supplements are a small part of a cow’s diet, but a deficiency may cause health problems that are difficult to diagnose. “All forage rations will require supplementation with trace minerals at some point in the year,” says nutritionist Jamie McAllister of Champion Feed Services in Stony Plain, Alta. “Don’t just feed mineral for the sake of feeding mineral.… More is not always better and more can create more problems than not supplementing at all.” McAllister said a 1,400-pound beef cow requires 0.4 pounds of minerals per day, which is a small but essential part of a nutrition plan. Protein should make up 13 percent of the daily requirement and energy 84 percent. Producers need to consider the energy value of the feed rather than protein content. Macro nutrients are calcium, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium and sodium chloride. Calcium is required for bone development, maintenance and muscle contractions. A deficiency might be to blame if a calving cow stops part way through labour.
Phosphorus affects energy metabolism and fertility. Magnesium is needed to help the body use Vitamin D. Sodium chloride, or salt, is the only mineral that cattle crave. “Lots of producers would say, ‘my cow isn’t eating that mineral, so she mustn’t need it. She knows what she needs and she will eat it.’” McAllister said this is not true, and cows could die from a deficiency. “Lots of times in order to get a cow to eat minerals, you have to put salt in it.” Potassium works with sodium to maintain osmotic balance within body organs and cells. Nerve functions needs sodium potassium to send messages to the brain. Sulfur is the only mineral involved in protein metabolism. Excess sulfur can be toxic and a high amount can interfere with the amount of selenium available to the animal. It can also interfere with vitamin B uptake. Producers should get a forage analysis done to learn whether there is a deficiency or excess amount of minerals. As well, the province has diverse conditions, so feed should be tested to properly balance mineral supplements rather than buying a generic
mix. Symptoms of mineral deficiencies may be milk fever, winter or grass tetany, goiter, white muscle disease, scours in calves, failure to get pregnant or poor productivity for no apparent reason. Many common feeds lack certain macro minerals. Grass hay is often short of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium, while alfalfa is deficient in phosphorus and sodium. However, alfalfa will always be higher in calcium than cereals. Cereals may not have enough calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. The mineral content increases in heavily fertilized fields, but soil pH can affect how minerals get into plants. Quick growing plants that produce lush forage could lead to grass tetany, a magnesium deficiency. Drought conditions affect plants’ mineral content. Mineral content may increase in a crop in the rain, but the energy content would drop. Minerals decline but fibre goes up as plants mature. A cow’s mineral requirements vary throughout the year. Supplements may be needed during later gestation
and lactation. Poor forage may require added minerals. Mould will reduce the mineral content of forage. Micro minerals in beef cattle diets may include supplementation of iron, manganese, copper, selenium, iodine, zinc, cobalt and molybdenum. These are also known as trace minerals. Iron is not usually a big concern as a supplement in forages, but zinc may be deficient. Cobalt and iodine are not usually added to forage but can be delivered in a blue salt block. Cobalt works with B12 for fibre digestion. Iodine contributes to goiter control and thyroid health. Selenium levels can vary from very high to very low, depending on the region. Selenium is related to immunity. A deficiency may result in more retained placentas. It also works with Vitamin E. Trace minerals can make a difference in hoof and hair coat health. Zinc contributes to hard, strong hoofs. “If you are short of zinc, sand cracks are a possibility,” McAllister said. He theorizes that moving cows from a low energy wintering program to green grass may cause sand cracks, which are vertical lines in the hoof. A copper shortage may be noticed
as a lightening of hair colour. Organic or chelated trace minerals attach to a protein chain or a single amino acid. Their bioavailability, which is the path by which they are absorbed into the body, is different than traditional minerals. They are also expensive. All minerals are intake related. Salt can be used to enhance intake or it may be used to discourage cattle from eating too much. Do not provide additional salt sources unless suggested on the mineral tag. Do not feed salt and mineral separately unless the mineral is being force fed. If feeding grain or silage, mix in the mineral daily or every other day to ensure consistent and uniform intake. Some producers mix it with silage before calving. If mineral intake is excessive, producers should add salt, move the mineral feeder away from the watering source or change brands. If mineral intake is inadequate, they should add soybean meal, ground grain or dry molasses to encourage consumption. “Free choice can be a problem,” McAllister said. “I can make the best ration in the world for you, but it has little value if the cows won’t eat it.” access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

Analyzing the composition of manure from animals fed dried distillers grains and assessing meat quality are among projects beef producers funded in recent years. Each province submits one dollar per animal sold to the national check-off agency and each determines how much they want dedicated to research, said Reynold Bergen, head of the council. Alberta and Saskatchewan each contribute 20 cents of the $1 checkoff. British Columbia and Nova Scotia give 10 cents, Atlantic Canada and Manitoba earmark five cents of every dollar and Ontario contributes 2.5 cents. “When the BCRC (Beef Cattle Research Council) gets these funds we leverage them against federal government funds so in general we are able to turn each of our dollars into about $6.50 in other government funding that allows us to get more research underway,” he said at the recent Alberta Beef Producers annual meeting in Calgary. A board of producers awards the money for projects that contribute to sustainability and competitiveness of the beef industry. Projects are focusing on forage and grass productivity, feed efficiency, as well as animal health and welfare. Several projects have been completed. The effect on manure composition
after feeding varying levels and types of dried distillers grain was assessed. It was assumed since the nutrient content of the feed changed, the manure would also be different. DDGs provide more fat, fibre, phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur and protein compared to intact grain. Cattle groups were fed diets that ranged from no distillers grain to 40 percent made either from corn or wheat. Wheat based DDGs produced more manure while the corn product did not appear to affect output. “If you are feeding distillers grain, there is going to be more nitrogen in the manure. It is even more pronounced with wheat distillers grain,” Bergen said. There was also more phosphorus present so this could have implications for manure applications on farmland. Another study compared beef quality and marbling when animals have been fed varying levels of DDGs. There is a greater concentration of oil in the DDGs. Meat samples were collected, aged for 14 days, examined for retail appearance and cooked for taste panels to assess. Polyunsaturated fat levels were altered. This may have positive human health benefits but these fats are more likely to oxidize. The meat loses its red colour more quickly and there is a higher risk of spoilage. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

TRACEABILITY | STANDARDIZED DOCUMENT
Navel ill responsible New national movement document for damaging infections expected to improve traceability ANIMAL HEALTH
ROY LEWIS, DVM
O
mphalophlebitis, also known as navel ill, can be an ailment in calves. There are good reasons to keep navel infections down on the farm: calves with lingering infections have poorer weight gains, and yearling bulls that develop infections in their secondary sex glands from navel infection are rendered infertile. Navel ill is more common when calves are born in damp conditions and in close confinement. More producers are calving later and frequently on grass, where calves are spread out in a drier environment. This is greatly decreasing the incidence of navel infection. Prevention is also aided by ensuring calves receive lots of colostrum to boost resistance. Veterinarians prescribe long acting prophylactic antibiotics in herds where the incidence is higher than normal. There tends to be a higher incidence in herds that practice early season calving and cycle calves through a warm barn. This environment allows foot rot organisms to accumulate over time. In this situation, try to have a calving area that can be easily disinfected. Bring in only cows that really need assistance. The ideal is to have a calving maternity pen with a concrete floor with a drain so the area can be cleaned and disinfected easily after each use. I have tried many prevention ideas, including human umbilical clamps, but found they caused more problems then they were worth. Veterinarians have recognized that navel infection rates are higher with caesarean sections. Calves come out backward in caesarean deliveries, and the navel cord rips off close to the body. They need the long protective shroud of the umbilicus to prevent infection from wicking up inside. There are two ways to prevent this. When a calf comes out through the incision at our clinic, we grab and physically break the protective shroud 30 to 40 centimetres from the navel, which is about the natural distance where the umbilicus breaks off. Dr. Gordon Adkins of the University of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Veterinary Medicine has a different method, which is equally effective and a more natural recreation of the real event. He pulls the entire umbilicus back between the back legs as the calf comes through the incision, which exactly mimics how the umbilicus breaks off in a normal delivery. He has had great success. The umbilical shroud is intact for 30 cm, which prevents infection from wicking up inside. Mention this to your veterinarian if one of your cows needs a caesarean section because both methods are easy to do and will greatly decrease the incidence of navel infection. Consider putting calves on prophyaccess=subscriber section=livestock,news,none
lactic antibiotics if they flop out of the incision before the procedure can be done or the navel still breaks off short. Veterinarians usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend disinfecting the navel area because many solutions, such as a strong iodine, cause more inflammation and worsen the situation. However, short navels are one situation where I might suggest it. Use something recommended by your veterinarian that is not too harsh. Short navels are also a problem with backward presented calves. The question is how to break off the shroud internally without breaking the blood vessels because the calf still has to be delivered. These backward calves may have delayed deliveries, sometimes lack oxygen and are slower to rise and suckle, which predisposes them to navel infection. Twins are more prone to navel infection because one calf is backward in a high percentage of twin births. Roy Lewis is a veterinarian practising in Westlock, Alta.
One-stop shopping | Document similar to Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standardized livestock manifest BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
A national movement document for tracking livestock around the country is in development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would save a lot of grief in the whole traceability system,â&#x20AC;? said rancher Erik Butters, who sits on a special committee discussing a standardized document similar to the livestock manifests used in Alberta. The committee is meeting in early January to further develop a national form. It would probably list premise identification numbers, the origin of the cattle and where they are going. He represents the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association on the committee. The CCA has long argued against going too far with traceability, especially if it costs producers money and is difficult to use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CCA supports moving toward a robust traceability system but at a pace that is doable and is acceptable in the country. If you make every-

body mad in the country it is not going to work,â&#x20AC;? he said. A document like this could prove indispensable for tracing livestock during a disease outbreak, said Dave Moss, head of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Livestock Inspection Services. Albert is moving toward an electronic manifest but some provinces do not appear to have similar paperwork or regulations attached to livestock transactions so creating a national, standardized form will take time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a fairly easy discussion to have Manitoba west,â&#x20AC;? he said. Quebec has a movement document while the other
provinces have a variety of documents that may provide similar information when livestock is traded. The committee has a project scope and is discussing all the manifests currently in use and a sample data set of what they think is required information on any livestock movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An infectious disease is all about the movement of groups. You can read the tags once you have them quarantined but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to stop the movement and you need to know where cattle went,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. If a single sick animal arrived at an auction market, the assumption is all were infected and it is critical to know where they went and stop further movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is an understanding now that commerce can be a very effective way of tracking that movement information and not have the angst of having traceability. You can enable commerce to give you that traceability data,â&#x20AC;? he said. How and where data might be housed is still under discussion. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

CHRISTMAS | WELCOME SNOW SHORTAGE
Taking stock and giving thanks as new year begins COWBOY LOGIC
RYAN TAYLOR
I
enjoy a little snow as much as any kid who likes to do sledding and skiing to help pass the winter months. However, after our last few winters, I’m fine with the mere dusting of snow we’ve had up to this point. A whole lot of snow can turn into a
whole lot of water in the spring and North Dakota had more overflowing rivers and lakes than it needed last year. So starting the first couple months of winter without much snow puts us two months closer to spring without the work and worries of the deep stuff. Like a lot of my ranching neighbours say, if you’re going to have a little drought, winter’s the time to have it. The cows are out grazing the extra grass we grew last summer, the hay pile is melting away a little slower and ranchers are saving a little chore time to stay inside and admire the market reports. Snow will likely come, and it might be a lot if you believe some of the pre-
dictions, but at least we’re on our way to spring and longer days once we cross the winter solstice. So it seems right to use the time we might have spent shoveling snow to take stock in the blessings of the year. Our family had good health last year, and any year you can’t recall any bad turns of health worse than a short flu bug or a nasty cold can be labelled a good year. There were no trips to the emergency room this year, and when you have a couple of boys who like to butt heads and play a little rough, that’s worth noting. They’re also old enough to know not to shove peas up their noses, which also cuts back on the doctor visits.
Good health has allowed us to get up each day and get our work done, which is also something to be thankful for. There was plenty of extra work to be done because of excess rain and moisture in our part of the world, so a strong body and a clear mind were much needed. We’re thankful for all the people we’re glad to call our friends and neighbours. My favourite part of the year is the days of early summer, when we work all the calves in the neighbourhood. The pickups and horse trailers descend on a ranch yard, the horses get saddled, the calves get roped and the stories get shared at the end of the day as neighbours practice the old art access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none
From single desk to largest desk... one decision is clear.
of being neighbourly. We remind ourselves to be just as neighbourly the whole year through. We’re thankful for the start of a new year, turning the page as our days grow a little longer and the sun shines a little farther into the evening. It’s a lot like when our three youngsters open the next drawer on our advent calendar to see what it holds. I’m also anxious to see what the next year holds. This time of year’s a little like bedtime. We tuck the kids into bed at night with hugs and kisses and bedtime stories, and any of the rough spots of the day are forgiven. We give thanks for the day and for each other, and we look forward to tomorrow. And the funny thing is, none of this stuff that really matters can be bought at the shopping mall. Happy New Year, friends. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

They talked about the possibility at zone meetings this fall, and now Alberta sheep producers have gained access to funding for radio frequency identification tag readers and technology. The provincial government announced the $300,000 funding Dec. 20, using money through the federal Growing Forward plan. The Alberta Sheep RFID Technology Assistance program will cover 70 percent of costs for tag readers, software and training to a maximum of $5,000 per sheep operation. The applicant will cover the other 30 percent. Coverage applies only to eligible equipment, a list of which is provided at www.sheepcentral.ca. Sheep producers must apply for funding by March 15 and applications will be managed on a first come, first served basis. “A traceability system is a win-win for Alberta sheep producers, the value chain and consumers,” said federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz in a news release. “By helping to expand the livestock traceability system, our governments are reinforcing Alberta’s reputation for producing safe and high-quality food.” Alberta Lamb Producers president Phil Kolodychuk said the program meshes well with a tag incentive program already in place, in which the province reimburses sheep producers for part of their RFID tag costs. “The availability of the tag incentive program and now the reader/software grant enables more producers to access RFID tools to increase the productivity and profitability of their operations,” Kolodychuk said. The tag and technology programs are designed to encourage Alberta sheep producers to use RFID technology, which will improve traceability. Alberta’s sheep flock comprises 183,000 animals on 1,900 farms. It makes up 17 percent of all sheep in Canada. access=subscriber section=livestock,news,none

Christmas came early for Kyoto Fuels Corp. when $31.14 million in federal funding was announced Dec. 21. Kyoto Fuels is a biodiesel plant project in the County of Lethbridge that plans to start producing biodiesel this spring. Annual plant capacity is 66 million litres using canola and animal tallow as feedstocks. Kyoto president Kelsey Prenevost said it is the only plant that has both provincial and federal support, the latter through the Ecoenergy for Biofuels program. And although the funding was announced just before Christmas, it wasn’t too much of a yuletide surprise. “We did know that it was going to come. We didn’t know exactly the date,” Prenevost said. Kyoto was formed in 2003 with smaller plans than the concept now nearing fruition. “When you start out in a venture like this, you’re either a hero or you’re crazy, one of the two. It’s never in between. So it looks like we might have been right.” Prenevost said the plant has cost $32 million, and two more months of construction are needed before it is commissioned. Lethbridge MP Jim Hillyer made the funding announcement, saying the plant will help supply some of the nearly three billion litres of renewable fuel that Canada will need in 2012 to meet its commitments. Diesel in Canada must have two percent renewable content as of July 2, 2011. Some of it is imported from the United States because of low biodiesel production capacity in Canada. “Our investment will help to put the Lethbridge region at the forefront of the biofuel industry and generate jobs for the local economy,” said Hillyer. The plant will employ 25 people. County of Lethbridge reeve Lorne Hickey praised the initiative for providing an additional market to farmers for low grade canola and possibly other agricultural waste products. The Kyoto plant will be able to supply

primary choice. The operation has no crushing plant, so it will obtain degummed material from companies that do crush. Animal fat will come from the Cargill and XL packing plants in High
River, Alta., and Brooks, Alta. However, Prenevost said fuel companies don’t favour biodiesel produced from animal fats because they fear it won’t perform well. John Koliaska, president of JK Trucking in Lethbridge, used 10.5 percent tallow-based biodiesel in his fleet of 65 trucks last year and said there were no issues related to cold weather or engine maintenance. Koliaska is also vice-president of business development for Kyoto Fuels. The private company has 50 shareholders.

PHOSPHATE | PRODUCTION
Mosaic shaves production to head off phosphate price setback CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) —Mosaic plans to cut phosphate production because prices have fallen to unsustainable levels. The fertilizer company said it would cut its planned production of phosphate by 250,000 tonnes over
the next three months, blaming economic uncertainty for a drop in prices. It said it still expected record global demand for fertilizer in 2012. “The current spot prices in this market do not reflect our outlook for
the business, nor do we think they are sustainable,” said Mosaic president Jim Prokopanko. U.S. phosphate prices tumbled roughly a quarter to about $460 per tonne in December because of a slowdown in global demand, ana-
lysts said. Farmers have delayed buying fertilizer because of a sharp setback in grain prices and concerns that nutrient prices were too high, they said. Mosaic said global economic woes contributed to the fall.
“As dealers and distributors focus on the macroeconomic uncertainty and delay purchases for the North American spring season, near-term supply of phosphate barges on the Mississippi River has exceeded nearterm demand,” Prokopanko said.

Drought tolerant corn variety approved in United States Monsanto receives green light | The approval is expected to increase corn production, particularly in the Great Plains WA S H I N G T O N / C H I C A G O (Reuters) — Monsanto has won approval to sell a genetically modified variety of drought-resistant corn in the United States, raising hopes for increased production of the grain. The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the variety Dec. 29 after
reviewing environmental and risk assessments, public comments and research data from the company. Monsanto has been developing the product for years in collaboration with BASF. “Our drought system is designed to help farmers mitigate the risk of yield
loss when experiencing drought stress, primarily in areas of annual drought stress,” said Hobart Beeghly, U.S. product management leader for Monsanto. The company said it planned farm trials in the western U.S. Plains this year to demonstrate the variety for growers and generate data that will
help guide Monsanto’s commercial decisions. Corn is the most widely grown U.S. crop, and farmers grew 91.9 million acres this year, the second-largest area since the Second World War. In its 2009 petition for approval of the GM variety, Monsanto said 40
percent of crop losses in North America were due to sub-optimal moisture. The company estimated the major U.S. area for adoption of the variety, known as MON 87460, would be the Plains, as well as similar dryland regions of Africa, Europe and Latin America. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT | APPLYING INFORMATION
Common mistakes when managing farm’s finances PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT
TERRY BETKER
F
inancial management is not that interesting for many farmers. It can at times be confusing and difficult to understand. However, financial management is requiring more attention as the business of agriculture evolves and farms advance. All farmers have their own management skills, but many producers, as with other managers, fall into the category of “room for improvement.” The annual set of financial statements belongs to the farmer and is for his information and use. However, many farmers treat the statements as if the main purpose is for third parties such as the Canada Revenue Agency and lenders. The statements fulfill these roles, but the primary purpose should be to p rov i d e i n f o r m at i o n t hat t h e farmer can use to manage the business. Generally, farmers could be much better at applying financial information to their business management decisions. The majority lack an understanding of where they need to be, financially, in the future. Common among farmers is the mind set that accepts financial performance as an outcome of the year ’s production and related expenses as opposed to setting desired financial performance targets and managing production and related expenses to achieve them. The following are common mistakes or misunderstandings regarding basic financial management measures. Liquidity • not having enough working capital to self-finance operations for the next year. A shortfall must be made up from other sources. Obviously, the greater the shortfall, the more serious the problem. This requires regular monitoring because it can change drastically in one year • buying capital assets through the operating loan as opposed to setting up a term loan access=subscriber section=news,none,none
• selling market inventor y in a response to an immediate cash shortfall as opposed to proactively aligning marketing with cash flow needs • having too much of the total debt due in the next 12 months ; an amount that is greater than the farm’s ability to earn the money and turn it into cash • not structuring debt repayment commitments to match cash flow patterns • using trade credit and/or credit cards inappropriately

Solvency • not understanding the potential implications of the additional risk associated with adding long-term debt, especially with repayment over 15 or more years • buying assets with no plan and/or not having a capital budget • buying assets on impulse or to keep up with the neighbours • carrying too much debt relative to the amount of equity in the business

Profitability • being over capitalized. There is too much investment in equipment, resulting in increased amortization and interest costs that, in turn, decrease net profit and therefore, profitability • equity growth that comes primarily from capital appreciation as opposed to earnings • having assets that are no longer used and should be converted into cash

Financial efficiency • not understanding where operating financial efficiencies are, or aren’t, in the business. Operating financial efficiencies refers to achieving returns, or margins, over production, operating and fixed expenses • not differentiating between total net profit, which is the bottom line net profit that includes incidental revenue and expenses, and net operating profit, which is the profit that is generated by the core farm business Agriculture is a volatile business. Profit margins are generally narrow. Investment (operating and capital) is large and increasing. These are all reasons why financial management is becoming increasingly important. The key step is to determine where there may be room for improvement in your operation.

From milk cans to oak barrels Don’t call it scotch | Single malt, scotch-style Canadian whisky rolls out from Vancouver Island distillery BY DEE HOBSBAWN-SMITH FREELANCE WRITER
Vancouver Island dairy farmer Patrick Evans has scraped cow manure from his boots for the last time. Instead, he has traded in his milk cans for charred oak barrels. Until 2005, Evans, his wife, Kimm, and their four daughters were part of the family dairy business started by his father, Norman. They raised Holstein heifers near Black Creek, B.C., on the east coast of Vancouver Island, as replacement stock for the herd kept by his brothers in the Comox Valley. Evans realized during family succession discussions that it was important to avoid the inevitable splitting of the family farm into plots too small to be viable. “My grandfather was a pioneer in this region,” he said. “We live on far mland he had owned. But frankly, moving cows up and down the island was getting to be a pain. My question was, how can we grow something on the well-drained soil we have and value-add to the highest yield?” He found the answer after meeting distiller Andrew Currie, who was visiting Vancouver Island as part of an international trade mission to investigate value-added agricultural opportunities. Currie’s father, Harold, had founded Arran Distillery on the Scottish Isle of Arran. A trip to Scotland convinced Evans that the future of farming lies in value-adding rather than just growing crops. He decided to plant his fields to barley for use as the key ingredient in Scottish-style single malt Canadian whisky, and named the project Shelter Point Distillery. “Don’t call it scotch,” he says. “This is Canada, and this is Canadian whisky, single malt.” Evans hired master distiller Mike Nicolson to oversee and train his staff in all aspects of the whisky-making trade. Nicolson, a third-generation distiller who retired to Vancouver Island in 2003, learned his chops at some of Scotland’s finest single malt distilleries, including three years as manager of Lagavulin on the island of Islay. Evans initiated three years of crop trials, and in 2010 selected two varieties of two-row barley noted for lower protein and higher sugarstarch content that meet the distiller’s malting requirements. Four hundred acres are now seeded to barley. Evans used part of a $3 million loan from Farm Credit Canada to buy stills. With a capacity of 4,000 and 5,000 litres, the single-pot copper stills are hand-made in Rothes in northern Scotland. Nicolson and Evans ran them for the first time in June. The cloudy liquid was subtly pearscented before it began aging in oak casks. By November, the baby whisky’s flavour profile smoothed into what Nicolson describes as green. “Green is a small word but a big umbrella,” he said. “Green as in garden, or grass clippings or damp, freshly cut hay.”

Nicolson expects something completely different from the finished whisky. “I’ve had a little sniff of it in an active cask, six months old now. That’s a scant 10 minutes in maturation time. That grassiness has started to mellow into caramel and toffee and vanilla.” Oak barrels, their interiors charred before use, account for half the finished flavour, Nicolson said. “It’s a revelation, a transformation that happens because someone was
smart enough to set fire to the wood before they used it.” The longer a whisky ages, the more complex and valuable it becomes. Nicolson will draw out a sample in 2014 using a pipette-style tool called a valinch, similar to a winemaker’s wine thief. They expect to release Shelter Point’s whisky at three, five, eight, 10 and 20 years of age. “A distillery is no different from a vineyard or cranberries or
grapes,”Evans said. “There’s no immediate cash crop. The investment is in warehousing and storing. We hope to hang onto some for a 20-year release.” Evans planted raspberry canes on 70 acres with another farmer to ensure interim cash flow. The berries are individually quick frozen for sale to local food retailer Thrifty Foods. He plans to eventually use fall-down berries for jams and jellies and ultimately in a raspberryinfused alcoholic spirit. He has also launched a cask offering, pre-selling whisky futures by the barrel, as another way to generate cash flow. Ten percent of each year’s production of 1,000 barrels is earmarked for the futures program, which has attracted interest from organizations as diverse as logging businesses and
university clubs. Each barrel contains 200 litres of 60 percent alcohol, called cask strength, which is far too strong for sipping. At cask strength, the barrel contains 250 bottles. The bottle count increases to 300 when diluted to the recommended 40 percent alcohol. The casks cost $5,000 each, but even after federal and provincial taxes of $4,000 at the time of bottling, $30 per bottle is a bargain for single malt whisky. The casks will be labelled and stored at Shelter Point for five years before bottling. “Your own cask with your name on it. That’s a really prestigious thing in the old country,” Evans said.

The whisky doesn’t yet have a name. Evans has a few years to dream up a suitable name and hopes to see other distilleries take root. “Agriculture is diminishing on the island,” he said. “Our climate isn’t indicative for grapes, but we can grow some nice barley in unique tastes and styles. One island-based whisky distillery is interesting and cool. “Ten distilleries would be an industry, and 20 would make the island a total destination.”
ARTISAN DISTILLERIES Shelter Point Distillery is the latest in a string of new Canadian artisan distillers and the country’s second single malt whisky distillery: • In 1990, Canada’s inaugural single malt whisky, Glen Breton Rare, went into production at New Brunswick’s Glenora Distillery and was released in 2000. • In Vernon, B.C., Okanagan Spirits owner Frank Dieter distils local pears into award-winning poire Williams eau de vie. • Victoria Gin, made in Victoria, is fused with wild gathered botanicals. • In southern Ontario, John Hall uses corn, rye and barley in his newly released Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve Whisky.

Protein inhibits growth of wheat pest A protein from the snowdrop plant may hinder Hessian fly’s nutritional mechanism BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM
A recent study to discover new resistance to Hessian fly infestations in wheat is paying dividends. Researchers at the University of Purdue found that the snowdrop lectin, a protein originating from the snowdrop plant, reduces Hessian fly growth. “The Hessian fly continues to overcome native genes for resistance in wheat,” said Richard Shukle, a scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “The primary way the insect is controlled is through genetic resistance,” he said. “(It) is controlled by a single dominant gene in wheat.” Shukle said researchers identify potentially resistant genes from oth-
er plant species by examining their proteins. “For years, people have been trying to develop … (a feeding assay) with the Hessian fly larvae,” he said. A feeding assay is a method of testing the effectiveness of toxins derived from plant proteins to fight against crop pest infestation. Shukle used snowdrop lectin in his Hessian fly feeding assay. He allowed Hessian fly larvae to infest wheat seedlings that were treated with the snowdrop lectin and found the lectin caused lar vae growth to be reduced. He believes this occurred because it damaged the insect’s internal nutritional mechanism. Shukle said Hessian fly larvae can irreversibly damage a wheat plant after feeding on it for four days.
It will stunt a plant’s growth to such an extent that it will never be able to produce wheat, he added. “(Ideally), we are looking for a toxin that would … kill larvae prior to that critical four days,” he said. “The snowdrop lectin (will not) do that, but it may prevent them from completing their development.” The lectin can also be used with other toxins, which can target the nervous system of the larvae. Shukle believes snowdrop lectin has the potential to provide longlasting resistance if combined with natural wheat genes or genetic material transferred from other plant species.

The Fair Representation Act, which adds new seats to the three provinces where population growth is greatest, was proclaimed into law Dec. 16, the same night the bill to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly became law. Quebec’s three seats were added to make sure the province’s parliamentary representation does not fall below its percentage of the Canadian population. The new Parliament of 338 MPs still leaves British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario under-represented in representation-by-population but better represented than before the change. “For far too long, Ontarians, British Columbians and Albertans have been seriously and unfairly under-represented in the House of Commons,” Edmonton Conservative MP and junior minister for democratic reform Tim Uppal said in a statement. The result will not be pure equality, but “every single Canadian will move closer to representation by population.” The enlarged House of Commons is a mixed blessing for rural Canada. Rural areas will still be over-represented compared to urban areas, but with 30 new MPs from urban or suburban ridings added, the relative rural influence in Parliament will diminish. During committee hearings on the bill, some witnesses complained that rural Canada continues to have too much influence because the current formula for seat redistribution does not allow any province to lose seats.

New model touted for care homes Pinawa looks for options it can afford closer to home access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none
BY ANNE COTE FREELANCE WRITER
BRANDON — Pinawa, Man., is fighting for the right to establish its own personal care home for seniors. Town councillor Clayton McMurren said the town can’t afford the 10 percent the province insists it contribute toward a government approved $32 million 80-bed personal care home planned for Lac du Bonnet, a town 27 kilometres away. At the Association of Manitoba Municipalities conference in Brandon in November, McMurren told Manitoba premier Greg Selinger that Pinawa wants to build its own facility through a private partnership. Selinger said personal care homes in Manitoba are non-profit and will remain under public ownership. “ That’s how we retain public accountability,” Selinger said. McMurren claims Pinawa can’t afford to raise taxes to cover its share of the costs of the nursing home. “The premier’s wrong. He said we have to contribute the 10 percent. We do not. It’s a huge financial burden,” McMurren said. He said Pinawa has a population of 1,500 and raising taxes to cover a $320,000 contribution to a care home in Lac du Bonnet isn’t feasible. Pinawa has more than 320 residents over the age of 65 and is experiencing an increase in its older population, he said. McMurren said the care home the Manitoba government has approved won’t meet future needs. He said Pinawa could follow the private partnership example of a personal care home in Niverville. Steve Neufeld, chief operating officer at Niverville Heritage Centre, said it took a lot of work to convince the provincial government to provide operating funds for the care home. Neufeld said the 80 bed Niverville project was in a unique position. “We owned the land and a facility with a commercial kitchen attached to the new personal care home, and we had experience operating the 42 bed St. Adolphe personal care facility,” he said. Neufeld said the project also negotiated for lower construction costs, reducing the Niverville facility cost to $140,000 per bed compared to the usual $300,000 to $400,000. The Niverville facility will pay for itself. Manitoba Health is not contributing any capital funding, only operational funding at the same per patient daily rate as a government operated facility.

FOOD ALLERGIES | WHEAT
Countering wheat’s bad rap Negative outcomes | Plant breeding could extract certain proteins that cause wheat allergies BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
It’s estimated that one percent of the population has celiac disease, a disorder that can impair the body’s ability to absorb nutrients when gluten is consumed. The number of people allergic to wheat is unknown, says a United States Department of Agriculture scientist who studies the molecular components of wheat that cause allergic reactions. “It’s difficult to put numbers together on that and I really haven’t seen any good numbers,” said Susan Altenbach, USDA research biologist. It’s hard to gauge the percentage of people who have wheat allergies, because it’s tricky for doctors to determine what exactly is causing an allergic response, Altenbach said. What is known, however, is that wheat allergies are distinct from celiac disease. A wheat allergy causes a person’s immune system to react abnormally to the proteins in wheat, which causes hives, swelling of the throat and other allergic symptoms. For people with celiac disease, eating food with gluten can damage the lining of the small intestine,causing diarrhea and malnutrition. There is a segment of the population that has allergies to wheat or celiac disease, said Gary Fulcher, head of the
University of Manitoba food science department. But the bigger problem is the perception that eating wheat leads to negative health outcomes. Fulcher said some grain has negative qualities, but wheat advocates need to promote the health benefits of whole grains to consumers. Altenbach isn’t in the business of promoting wheat as part of her work at the USDA Western Regional Research Centre, but is studying ways to make it tolerable for people with allergies. Specifically, Altenbach wants to eliminate proteins in wheat that cause allergic reactions, but retain desirable genetic traits that produce high quality wheat flour. Altenbach, who spoke at the Canadian Wheat Symposium in Winnipeg in December, said this type of molecular research is necessary because if wheat allergies become more common, consumption of breads, cereals and other wheat products will decline. “As you have more and more people that are sensitized to wheat, you have fewer and fewer people that are eating wheat. Maybe the gluten free diet becomes a bigger deal,” she said. “If you can reduce the number of people that become sensitized to wheat, by reducing the number of these immunogenic proteins in wheat, perhaps there will be a benefit there.” In 2011, Altenbach published a study on a wheat protein called
Omega 5 gliadins that can provoke an allergic response, such as a condition known as wheat dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis. As its name suggests, people with this type of allergy only display symptoms if they exercise shortly after eating wheat. In her study, Altenbach found it was possible to silence the genes in wheat that trigger the development of omega 5 gliadins, the gluten proteins that cause the allergic response. That’s a positive step forward but more research is necessary before Altenbach and others can develop a commercial wheat variety without this particular protein. “We’re eliminating a fairly major gluten protein. So we need to see what the effect of that is, in terms of the functionality of the flour,” she said. Altenbach said molecular biologists and wheat breeders will continue to study ways to eliminate specific immunogenic proteins found in wheat. Bread labelled “hypoallergenic” is unlikely because there are many proteins in wheat and eliminating all of them may be too complex. “You’re basically telling people it’s OK, if you have a wheat allergy or sensitivity, you can eat this,” she said. “You have to know that essentially you have eliminated many proteins, not just certain ones that cause specific types of allergies.”
SUSAN ALTENBACH SCIENTIST
THE BIG 8 OF FOOD ALLERGIES: The most common food allergens are peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, milk, eggs, seafood, soy and wheat. Wheat allergies and kids: A wheat allergy develops most commonly in infants and tends to disappear within five years. Adults who develop a wheat allergy, however, are likely to retain it. Exercise and wheat allergy: A poorly understood condition known as food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis is most commonly linked to wheat. People with this condition can experience anaphylactic reactions when they exercise soon after eating wheat. They don’t react if they delay exercise by several hours.

RECYCLING | COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Town builds, renovates, reinvents local schools Denzil, Sask. | Elementary school becomes hub for community events and businesses BY NADEN HEWKO FREELANCE WRITER
Building and remodelling schools have a long history in Denzil, Sask., where the former school is now used as a community, heritage and business centre. When the old brick school, built in 1929, became too small for the growing enrollment, a high school was built in 1956. As country schools closed and children were bused into the village, a separate structure was built and later expanded for the primary grades. By the 1980s, enrollment was declining so students were moved to the newly renovated and enlarged high school and the elementary school was closed. The Senior Citizens’ Club leased part of the former elementary school but the larger section remained empty. In the early 2000s, as part of Communities in Bloom, the village created a museum there. Museum board member Audrey Watchel said the town gave the board $2,000 to get started on the project and many volunteers pitched in. “Reiniger’s Garage donated the paint, but everything else needed in cleanup and preparation was donated by the people of the community. No one received any pay. It was work, lots of hard work to renovate several of the classrooms,” she said. “Artifacts and donations of family heirlooms literally poured in and we assigned their spots,” said Watchel. They added young trees from Shand Power to landscape the yard and named the museum Heritage of Hope after the community history book. The museum opened in June, 2005, just in time for Denzil Days. Ad d i t i o na l f u n d s f o r f u r t h e r improvements were raised through fundraising, with money given from the school to the museum, which is open on Saturdays from May to September, Board member Pat DeSchryver access=subscriber section=farmliving,news,none
said each classroom presents a typical room in a home, church or classroom. “Our summer visitors said it was like taking a walk into the past,” she said. By 2006, the school enrollment had dropped sharply and the Lands West School Division tendered the building for sale. Veronica Feser, a graduate of the school, had moved to Alberta, where she studied photojournalism after nine years of retail work in Calgary. She and her brother, Tim, became co-owners and took possession of the building in 2007, where she established her business, Prairie Girl Photography. Her husband, Br ian Feser, is employed in the oil industry at Kerrobert. They decided to relocate to Denzil in 2007, partly because both sets of parents live in the district. “I’ve always wanted to move back home to work and here is my chance. I thought it would give me an opportunity to have a larger studio space and retail environment,” said Feser, who has two preschoolers. “We are no longer in a world where small town means less options. With the internet, I can access whatever resources I need. With the different courier services available, a person

can have a business anywhere.” Feser has converted the library into a studio and rooms for finishing and framing her photos. She also rents her building, Revolution Place, for fitness training, storage, mechanical work and as meeting space for air cadets and a mothers and tots group. “When we purchased the school, we envisioned it as a facility that the community could use,” said Feser. The gym can be rented for events and plans are underway to create suites in four vacant classrooms for visitors to town. “The building is in relatively good condition but it has repairs that need to be addressed. All this takes a lot of commitment of time and money. In time, we hope to fully utilize its potential”.

SHINGLES | PRECAUTIONS
Contact with shingles can cause chickenpox if not immunized HEALTH CLINIC
can other members of my family or friends catch it from me?
A: CLARE ROWSON, MD
Q:
I am a 59-year-old female and I have a case of shingles. It is still painful but getting better as I was able to get treatment as soon as I noticed the rash. My question is
Shingles is caused by the same virus, the Varicella-zoster or VZV virus, that gives you chicken pox. The medical name is herpes zoster, but it is not related to the other herpes varieties that give you cold sores or genital warts. When a person has had chickenpox as a child, the virus never completely leaves the body and lies dormant for many years in the ganglia or nerve roots of the spinal cord. Later in life, sometimes when the
person is under some severe or chronic stress, or run down, the virus will re-emerge to cause a painful, red, blistering rash in the distribution area of the affected nerves. This is often in the face or trunk, but can also affect an eye or an ear. Elderly people are more likely to get shingles because they have weaker immune systems. It is important to get treatment with anti-viral medications as soon as possible after you notice the pain and rash. It works best if given within 72 hours, and can reduce the severity of the attack and shorten the length
of the illness. A person can only get shingles if they have previously had chicken pox. You cannot catch shingles, but it is possible for someone to contract chicken pox if they are in close proximity to open sores and have no immunity through vaccinations or having had chickenpox as a child. Once the blisters turn to scabs, you will be less infectious. Adults who get chickenpox can become severely ill, so it is best to keep away from anyone you know who could be susceptible.

WILLIAM PEREHUDOFF | EARLY WORK
Sask. artist tells prairie story in black and white Ties to farm, community | Drawings of Louis Riel and early settler life part of exhibit DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
A new art exhibit touring southern Saskatchewan is showcasing a different side of one of the province’s bestknown artists. A recipient of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and the Order of Canada, William Perehudoff is a celebrated painter. His abstract paintings — featuring big blocks of colour — have earned him a place in Canadian art history. He’s also famous for his mural work. In recent years, several Perehudoff murals in Saskatoon were the subject of a lengthy and expensive restoration process as the building for which they were commissioned faced demolition. “He is known as one of the Canadian abstract painters,” said Sandra Fraser, associate curator and extension co-ordinator at Saskatoon’s Mendel Art Gallery, which orchestrated Optimism of Colour, a retrospective exhibit on Perehudoff ’s career in 2010. The retrospective has also made stops at galleries in Kamloops, B.C., Calgary, Windsor, Ont., and Oshawa, Ont. However, a spinoff of that exhibit, which is appearing in two rural Saskatchewan communities, features drawings from Perehudoff ’s lesspublicized early commercial work. Perehudoff was busy through the 1940s and 1950s as an artist and a farmer. While building a reputation for his mural work in Saskatoon, he also maintained ties to his family farm near Langham, Sask. He added to his growing resume in 1954, taking a job as an artist-designer with Modern Press in Saskatoon. This relationship led to the artist’s illustrations appearing in The Western Producer.
“I enjoyed it because it’s always interesting to see what an artist does to support themselves,” said Sara Fruchtman, a curatorial assistant at the Mendel, who researched the project. “What I found particularly interesting was the way that he understood himself as an artist, which I thought made this exhibition particularly important, because he thought of an artist as a worker like any other worker,” she said. The exhibit features 27 Perehudoff pieces, all part of the Mendel’s permanent collection. They were commissioned for two serialized stories that appeared in The Western Producer in 1955: So Soon Forgotten and Louis Riel: Patriot and Rebel. One was a personal account of the experiences of prairie settlers and the other examined Riel’s life and influence. The images showcase recognizable prairie scenes and familiar faces: drawings of Riel and prime ministers Wilfrid Laurier and John A. Macdonald. Those familiar with Perehudoff will find that the pieces differ from the artist’s other work. They’re small, black and white and simple, which is a contrast to his colourful abstract paintings. As commissioned works, they were meant to illustrate a specific story, so they’re also unlike many prairieinspired images that can be viewed as standalone pieces. “It isn’t what you would see at an art gallery, but I think that’s why I find it interesting,” said Fruchtman. “Perehudoff was showing at an art gallery, but he was also really a part of his community.” The drawings were made in pen and ink on paper and on scratchboard, where an artist creates an image using a blade to scratch through a waxy coating, revealing a white base beneath. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none
Drawings in the William Perehudoff exhibit include Secret Papers, left, Riel’s Return from Montana, above, and Northcote, below. | MENDEL ART GALLERY PHOTOS
“There’s a real sensitivity that he brings to those two subjects — the Riel and the early settler work — because he was born in Saskatchewan and lived here most of his life, except for when he was travelling and studying abroad,” said Fraser. “This is definitely his home.” William Perehudoff: Historical Drawings for The Western Producer is making stops at the Grand Choteau Heritage & Cultural Centre in Shaunavon, Sask., until Jan. 23, and the Allie Griffin Art Gallery in Weyburn, Sask., from Feb. 1 to March 30.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE | STRATEGIES
Accepting weakness is key in overcoming lack of confidence SPEAKING OF LIFE
so that I can be free from this burden and get involved in activities, like dating women, that I am too unsure to consider doing. All of us have weaknesses, things about ourselves that we would like to either improve or eliminate. The starting point is to accept them for what they are and don’t fight them. Think of yourself as a coach of a football team with a weak defence. Would you go to game trying to pretend that your defence is better than it is or would you recognize the weakness and try to get your offence to
A:
JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW
Q:
I get disgusted with myself for a lack of confidence. I stop myself from trying any number of things for fear that my feeble attempts will make a fool out of me. What can I do
score more points and recruit better defensive players. In your case, trying to pretend that you have more confidence in yourself than you have could be disastrous. The odds are good that you would meet your worst fears, make a fool of yourself and get more discouraged. Once you have accepted your lack of confidence as part of who you are, you can take the next step. Document your strengths, including the simplest and most complex from brushing your teeth to rewriting programs for your computer. My guess is that if you compare the lists, you will be
surprised to find more strengths than weaknesses. The next task it to build on your strengths. Think again of the football coach. If he is sitting in the locker room with the best quarterback in the league, he is going to make sure that his team will benefit by building a strong offensive line to protect the prized player and ensure good receivers are in place to catch the balls. What are your strengths? If you’re great in the garden, then work on that. You are going to meet people at the local horticulture fair, or while
you are attending classes. When you meet people there, you are mingling with them in your comfort zone within the familiarity of your strengths. The more time you spend working on your natural abilities, the less time you will have trying to convince yourself that you are less than adequate. Obviously you will become more confident but this takes time and you will not change overnight. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan.

J
anuary is a good time to look at our finances and make resolutions to spend less, follow a budget more or start saving. With the financial crisis occurring in other countries and reports of large consumer debt in Canada, there has been a move to recognize that we need to be more informed about money management. Financial literacy means having the knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions. The ability to make informed financial decisions is essential to an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-being at every stage in life. These decisions range from daily spending and budgeting to choices involving borrowing money, using credit cards, buying insurance, saving for retirement, owning a home or continuing education. A number of Canadian organizations have developed tools, services and resources to assist people to strengthen their financial and personal money management knowledge and skills. The following is a sampling. Financial Consumer Agency of Canada The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada is an independent body working to protect consumers and inform them about financial products and services by reviewing consumer issues and providing education.

ON THE FARM | CHEESE PRODUCTION
Marketing goat cheese turns a profit for family Raising and selling goats | Retail, restaurant, local sales needed, labour a challenge to future expansion plans BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Ben and Anita Oudshoorn’s daughter was a fussy baby who wouldn’t settle.
A friend suggested feeding her goat’s milk, so the parents gave it a try in 1996 and their 10-month-old baby started to thrive. The Alberta family got its first two goats from a breeder at Strathmore,
Alta., and looked into licensing a home dairy with 10 goats in 1998 at their farm near Nobleford, Alta. The farm relocated to Fort Macleod in 2003 and now has about 500 Alpine and Saanen dairy goats.
The Oudshoorns sell fluid milk under the name Fairwinds Farm, in two and four litre plastic jugs, as well as yogurt, cheese and soap in more than 100 grocery stores, restaurants and farmers’ markets across Alberta. “We like the farming life but it has really changed. This is how we survived,” said Anita. The goats were originally a sideline to their mixed farm and hog operation but the cyclical nature of pork and grains markets worried them. They sold their beef herd at the same time the hog market started to crash. “In 1998, it was a wreck. We got $40 a fat hog,” Ben said. “I kept saying, I think there is a business in this goat thing because we had a few goats and people asked for goat milk so you knew there was a demand but it is scattered all over,” he said. “What drives it is a need. It is your family or somebody comes along and says, I wish I could find something like this.” The first big client was Save-OnFoods in Lethbridge followed by Community Natural Foods in Calgary. Marketing was easier than expected. “I just went there and talked to somebody and told them what we were doing and they said, ‘OK, we’ll try it,’” said Anita. A boost came when many large chain stores added organic departments and more restaurants promoted local foods. Being on Alberta’s main northsouth highway within driving distance of two major markets was a plus. “We would never be able to survive without Calgary. It wouldn’t be worth it and we wouldn’t have 500 goats,” Anita said. The certified organic farm consists of 140 acres. About 100 acres are irrigated so they can grow high quality feed for the goats that are supplemented with a dairy ration. They are licensed and inspected by Alberta Agriculture and Canadian
Food Inspection Agency. The males are sold for meat and the females are retained as breeding stock. The kidding season is from January to July and twins are common. The goats are milked twice a day in a parlour that accommodates 36 does at one time. The milk is processed in the on farm plant where they manufacture chevre, a soft white cheese, feta, gouda and yogurt. Recipe development starts in their kitchen. “We’ll dabble for six months before we say, ‘this is a good yogurt,’” said Ben, the chief taster. They employ two part-time and one full-time staff in the plant. “We are sitting on 140 acres and we are employing people. That is sort of an anomaly in farming,” said Ben. They work with chefs from about 50 restaurants who also promote their increasingly popular cheese. “When we started, goat cheese was nowhere. Now it is everywhere and that is a good thing because it becomes more of a mainstream,” Anita said. Expansion is a consideration but time and labour shortages are a limiting factor. Their seven children have helped on the farm but the older ones have left home to pursue their ow n careers. “We don’t have enough people to help us. It is the biggest thing that is stopping us, finding the right people,” Anita said. “Both of us have our fingers in every aspect of this but in order to develop something new, I need more free time,” Ben said. The Oudshoorns are involved in the slow food movement and Anita is secretary of a local group promoting the availability of Alberta made foods. “When you can reach out to your community and people are interested and you are there, hopefully there is the effect of them coming out to your farm and buying product or telling more people about it,” she said.
