WTO fails to break logjam WTO members will take a two-year break, insisting talks are still alive BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
May the spirit of the season bring you peace and joy. Happy holidays from The Western Producer. |
GENEVA — The three-year impasse in world trade talks deepened last week as 153 country representatives met for three days and emerged with no clue about how to restart meaningful negotiations. It means at least a two-year hiatus while trade officials try to figure out what to do. It could mean much longer. By that time, the current World Trade Organization Doha Development Agenda trade negotiation will be 12 years old, almost twice as long previ as any previous multilateral trade negotiation.

BILL C-18 | PROCLAIMED LAW
Temporary injunction fails | Future hearing to determine if law will be struck down BY KAREN BRIERE & REUTERS
A Manitoba court judge has ruled he will not temporarily suspend a law ending the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly, while he decides whether the law should be struck down. Judge Shane Perlmutter scheduled court hearings for Jan. 17-18 to decide whether the law should be declared invalid because federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz acted
illegally by not holding a farmer vote before eliminating the wheat board’s single desk. With the ruling, Perlmutter, a Queen’s Bench judge, has given Ottawa the go-ahead to proceed with plans leading up to the January hearings. A few hours earlier on Dec. 16, a jubilant Ritz told farmers celebrating the passage of Bill C-18 that nothing will stop marketing freedom for western Canadian farmers,

including a possible stay of implementation by the courts. The bill received royal assent and was proclaimed late Dec. 15 to become law. That put eight farmer-elected directors out of their jobs and allowed growers to start forward contracting wheat and barley, although the single desk exists until Aug. 1. Viterra announced it would immediately begin offering bids on wheat,
durum and barley for deliveries beginning that same day. At the same Balgonie, Sask., farm where Ritz announced four years ago that the government would appeal a court decision that barley could not be removed from the board unless by Parliament, Ritz watched as three farmers signed their first contracts with grain companies.

BILL C-18 | FROM PAGE ONE
CWB law proceeds “This feels damned good,” he said. “First they said it shouldn’t be done. Then they said it couldn’t be done, and then they said it wouldn’t be done ’cause they’d take us to court. Here we are. Finally, you have marketing freedom.” Representatives from grower organizations echoed the celebratory tone. Kevin Bender, president of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said he couldn’t sleep the previous night because of the adrenalin rush due to the bill’s passage. Added Brian Otto, president of the Western Barley Growers Association: “The sun did come up this morning and, you know what, I think it’s a lot brighter.” He predicted more value added development and said he was looking forward to being able to do business with any grain company or processor of his choosing. Stephen Vandervalk, president of Grain Growers of Canada, said he would likely use his BlackBerry to sell his first load of wheat from his combine near Fort Macleod, Alta.
Farmers will have the option of still using the wheat board. CWB president Ian White issued a statement saying the board had been preparing for the change for months and would continue to market grain. Details on pool and cash programs for 2012-13 are expected soon. The Canadian government will continue to guarantee the board’s borrowings. The crowd at the Balgonie farm was undaunted at the prospect of further court action over the legislation, applauding Ritz’s vow to proceed no matter what. The wheat board said early Dec. 16 it would withdraw from court proceedings that could halt the implementation of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act, leaving the eight former directors to press the case forward on their own. The new act removes the elected directors’ authority and leaves the board in the hands of four appointed directors and the president for the time being.

WTO fails to break logjam Although everyone involved insists Doha still is alive, there are private questions about whether a negotiating mandate formulated in 2011 to help developing countries can be carried on indefinitely. Some of the 2011 developing countries like China, India and Brazil have grown up during the decade to become developed and agricultural powerhouses. “It really is hard to justify a negotiation aimed at giving concessions to China when they are out-performing most of us,” said a trade specialist at last week’s WTO ministerial meeting. “You have to ask if the Doha Round is dead and just needs a funeral.” Players in the system prefer to say Doha is alive but having difficulty. “I usually like to say it’s not dead, it is resting,” senior federal trade official Don Stephenson told a recent House of Commons trade committee meeting in Ottawa. “It’s difficult in the current global environment to see sufficient leadership being shown to bring the round to an early conclusion.” Canadian trade minister Ed Fast said the Doha negotiation just
needs more time. “Sometimes it’s a matter of patience,” he said. “Trying to box in any trade negotiation in terms of time is probably a mistake because if you are looking for an optimum outcome and the broadest consensus, you have to leave yourself the flexibility of getting it right.” Canadian export-oriented agriculture sectors are looking for a new deal to increase their ability to expand markets and reduce the ability of other countries to erect trade barriers or subsidize product into Canada or Canadian markets. “I think the next two years will be stand still, trying to stop backsliding, trying to keep conditions open for a possible injection of energy,” said Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan. For Canada’s supply managed sector, the WTO talks have been a mixed blessing since the widely accepted texts on the table when talks broke down would have forced Canada to sharply reduce protection for supply management.

CWB | LEGAL CHALLENGE
CWB vows to fight for farmers Former Canadian Wheat Board chair Allen Oberg appeared confident last week as he announced a challenge to legislation eliminating single desk grain marketing in Western Canada. “This government has now put itself above the law by proceeding with this bill,” he said. “Our aim is to retain farmers’ right to vote on changes to the Canadian Wheat Board so farmers can decide for themselves how their wheat and barley should be marketed.” The challenge by former farmer elected board members came a day before the Senate approved Bill C-18 to strip the CWB of its marketing monopoly and two days before it received royal assent. The legal challenge that Oberg announced is likely to keep the true state of grain marketing in 2012-13 unclear for weeks or months to come while courts hear arguments that attempt to preserve the pre-C-18 status quo. Few in the grain industry expect to be able to offer forward prices any time soon. As well, grain companies have refused to offer forward pricing on most wheat, durum and barley while the situation is unclear. Many had been expected to unveil contracts as soon as Bill C-18 was passed, but the victory of pro-monopoly forces in the recent Federal Court of Canada case has prompted most to pull back for awhile to reassess the legislation’s future. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has vowed to push ahead with plans, court injunction or not. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

MPs promise not to let CWB issue die Opposition to fight | Ottawa is shutting down debate and disrespecting the courts, says NDP MP STORIES BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU
As the roiling Canadian Wheat Board legislative and legal war moved toward a 2011 climax, federal opposition politicians promised to keep the issue alive in 2012. Prominent members of the Liberal and New Democratic parties said in Winnipeg Dec. 14 that the CWB issue has crossed into the realm of the general public and is no longer just a farmer issue. “This is not just about the wheat board,” said Liberal leader Bob Rae as he took part in a joint news conference with the wheat board’s remaining farmer-elected directors as they announced their attempt to block Bill C-18’s implementation.
The farmer elected directors were removed from the board days later when Bill C-18 received royal assent. “This is about the ability of farmers to retain some control over their own bargaining power, over their ability to get the best possible deal and the best possible price for them and for their families. It’s about the ability of farmers to ensure that there are effective ways of protecting the quality of the product that Canadian farmers produce, and above all this is an issue about democracy itself,” said Rae. A couple of hours later, NDP leadership candidate and Churchill MP Niki Ashton said her party was also going to keep the issue alive in the new year. “This kind of governing, this arrogant, undemocratic form of govern-
ing, is something that Canadians will not put up with. We will continue to fight this decision in the House of Commons, across the provinces and across Canada,” Ashton said in front of the Canadian Wheat Board head office. “Today it’s for the wheat board, but tomorrow it’s for other collective organizations led by people who are most affected by them: supply management, other organizations even like the CBC, where we as Canadians ought to have a say in their future, and this government is time and again turning around and shutting down debate and most recently disrespecting the courts.” Bill C-18, which would break the wheat board’s monopoly, received royal assent Dec. 16, but legal action
launched by the board on the same day attempted to quash the implementation of the legislation and eventually declare it illegal and inoperable. Pro-monopoly activists at the Rae/ CWB director meeting said other legal challenges and tactics were coming from other organizations. The CWB challenge was designed to prevent the government from dropping the action after Bill C-18 received royal assent and the promonopoly farmer directors were fired. By having all eight directors personally named in the suit, they hoped to be able to move on with the action, simply dropping the CWB as one of the parties, after the government takeover. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
CANADIAN GRAIN SYSTEM | CUSTOMER RELATIONS
Grain institute ready to help smooth marketing wrinkles Earl Geddes is convinced the Canadian International Grains Institute can survive the demise of single desk grain marketing in Western Canada. His confidence might surprise those who think institutions such as CIGI and the Canadian Grain Commission are threatened by the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly. “CIGI has always been on the front edge of understanding, ‘what should we be putting into the marketplace,’ ” said the CIGI executive director in an interview at the organization’s downtown Winnipeg offices. “None of that changes going forward, just the players change. But looking forward is very exciting.” Some have feared that the end of the CWB system will inevitably lead to the disintegration of Canada’s high quality, tight specifications, premi-
um value cereal grains production and marketing system and make it more like that of the United States or Argentina, where grain is generally treated as bulk commodities. However, Geddes said the end of the CWB single desk doesn’t undermine CIGI or the CGC. The wheat board has been CIGI’s main funder and backer for decades, but Geddes said grain companies and marketers will still want to have someone like CIGI around. He said grain companies are already asking CIGI for help to get ready to take over the CWB’s traditional roles of developing customer relationships and ensuring the right stuff is sold and delivered to the right customers. “Most of these companies haven’t sold Canadian wheat based on its merits, so our 40 years of knowledge
There’s no reason for our system to collapse like the Aussie system did. EARL GEDDES CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL GRAINS INSTITUTE
and experience is valuable to a lot of people,” said Geddes. Some point to the problems with the Australian wheat system after the Australian Wheat Board was dismantled, including the virtual collapse and takeover of its CIGI-like organization. They argue that that’s the shape of things to come for Canada. But Geddes doesn’t buy it. “There’s no reason for our system to collapse like the Aussie system did.” He said the AWB owned the CIGI
clone and other elements of the system, while the CGC and CIGI are third party organizations that aren’t owned by the wheat board. “We can keep all the other components, other than the single desk seller, in place.” Geddes can be so relaxed about the coming revolutionary changes to grain marketing in Canada partly because CIGI has spent the last two years preparing for it. He said wheat board directors Henry Vos and Bill Toews, who have both been CIGI directors, encouraged the organization to prepare for the possibility that the board or federal government might halt funding. As a result, the end of the CWB monopoly is not coming out the blue. Geddes said he expects his organization to do more hands-on training with grain company marketers in
Winnipeg and send more staff overseas to offer on-site technical assistance for users of Canadian grain. As well, CIGI and the grain commission will likely need to work closely with grain companies to ensure that shipments of certain grades and classes are up to the standard with which foreign buyers have become familiar. The wheat board has been able to draw from the entire prairie crop to fill shipments, but each grain company will now be trying to do the same thing from a much smaller collection system. “How do the smaller companies put together a 50,000 tonne vessel,” said Geddes. “It’s very, very difficult.” However, with experts such as CIGI and CGC still in place, there’s a good chance that Canada’s grain quality can be maintained, he said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

WTO | BACK-UP PLAN

Canada will move ahead if WTO fails
Exporters put hope in bilateral deals
If the Doha agenda stalls, “Canada isn’t going to stop moving forward,” says trade minister Ed Fast GENEVA — Canada remains committed to a comprehensive global trade agreement but has a back-up plan because the process is stalled, says trade minister Ed Fast. Fast said preserving the World Trade Organization remains Canada’s main priority. “That still is our number one game.” However, he said the inability of the WTO’s 153 members to reach agreement after 10 years also justifies Canada’s aggressive plan to negotiate more localized trade deals. “I think what’s also happened is that given the fact that we’ve run into difficulties getting to the end zone on Doha has compelled many of us to look at other opportunities on a bilateral and regional basis to engage,” he said Dec. 16 during a WTO ministerial meeting that ended in stalemate over how to revitalize the 10-year-old talks. “Canada has a very aggressive trade agenda going forward.” Supporters of a WTO deal worry that an emphasis on product access deals could erode momentum for a broader WTO deal that deals with wider trade-affecting issues, including domestic subsidies and non-tariff trade barriers. “There is a danger of that, and we don’t think bilaterals are a substitute for multilaterals, as much as we support deals that increase access,” said Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance executive director Kathleen Sullivan. She also said the Canadian government’s emphasis on a W TO deal seems to have weakened in recent years as it concentrates on more limited bilateral deals. “I do think we have seen a decline in the government enthusiasm for WTO in the last number of years,” she said. “We would like to see them give it more priority.” Fast disagreed, insisting both are priorities. “It is a very busy trade agenda that indicates that while the Doha agenda may be stalled, Canada isn’t going to stop moving forward,” he said. “But we’re not taking the position that these other processes should supplant the WTO or the Doha process.” He said he was leaving Geneva convinced the eighth ministerial meeting was a success, despite the failure to revive WTO negotiations. There was a declaration against protectionism, a government procurement deal and approval of Russia as a new member. “Canada’s position is very clear that we are very big supporters of the multilateral process and a big supporter of the WTO,” Fast said. “One of the things we wanted to leave Geneva with was a reaffirmation of the critical role that the WTO plays as the preeminent forum for rules-based trading. I think we’ve been able to do that.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Decade of challenges hinder world trade talks Three-year stalemate | Trade ministers’ meeting in Geneva outlines change in focus Western Producer Ottawa correspondent Barry Wilson travelled to Geneva and filed these reports from the WTO trade negotiations. GENEVA — The World Trade Organization’s Doha Development Round of negotiations began, figuratively and literally, in the shadow of the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. Two months after the attacks, hundreds of trade and agriculture ministers and officials met in the small Middle East nation of Qatar, a rich and tightly controlled absolute monarchy that made sure there were few WTO dissenters to repeat the riots at the previous ministerial meeting that turned it into the Battle of Seattle. Iran lay across the Persian Gulf from the conference centre and beyond that Afghanistan, where the terrorist attacks had been planned. An American warship sat at anchor off the summit site, ready to evacuate Americans from the city if there was an attack. A plane crash in New York City, at first thought to be terrorism but later determined to have the more mundane explanation that someone forgot to tighten engine bolts, added fear and urgency while closing down the session for part of a day as threats of attack were assessed. The still shell-shocked ministerial delegates seemed determined to launch a new round of negotiations almost as if to make a statement that the world economy still was func-

tioning and neither terror nor protesters would derail the project. There were also pressures to expand the trade liberalization that had started tentatively seven years earlier with the Uruguay Round deal. The focus this time was to be new trade rules that would help poor countries prosper, hopefully ending poverty-driven unrest. But negotiations to forge a mandate that also considered developed country issues were tense and often led to all-night negotiating sessions. Until the last moment, a negotiating launch was far from certain. In the end, when India cast its last reluctant yes vote, a round was started and delegates cheered. But there was little real enthusiasm beyond the fact they had done it. Subsequent on-again, off-again negotiations and stalemates showed the weaknesses in the mandate and political will. Developing countries demanded concessions by rich countries on market access and subsidy cuts while leaving them untouched as they caught up. Developed countries increasingly pushed back, noting that some of the “developing countries” were really
emerging economic powerhouses, such as China, India and Brazil, that already were competitive. Add to that the growing presence of anti-capitalism demonstrators and skeptical developing world advocates at every meeting and the Doha Round quickly became dysfunctional. Two years after Doha, talks collapsed in Cancun, Mexico. Small breakthroughs were made two years later in Hong Kong, but again, differences about expectations and outcomes scuttled any agreement as thousands of advocates rioted in the streets. There has been little movement for the past three years, other than regular professions from politicians of belief in the need to complete the Doha Round and proclamations of new political will from WTO director general Pascal Lamy. Last month, the Doha Round passed its tenth birthday, the longest in the history of global trade talks. Last week, trade ministers meeting in Geneva essentially admitted d e f e at w i t h o u t c a l l i n g i t t hat, insisting that Doha must be pursued but with a change in strategy and focus. There is a stalemate, said Australian trade minister Craig Emerson. “It’s time to call a spade a spade,” said European Union trade commissioner Karel De Gucht. “We need to recognize that our credibility has been seriously damaged by our failure to get Doha off the ground, even partially.” Last week’s ministerial meeting promised new approaches while insisting the Doha Round is alive. It put off more difficult questions about the future for the next two years until ministers meet again. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
GENEVA — The stalemate at last week’s World Trade Organization ministerial meeting means more of the same for Canadian farm groups that sent delegations to lobby for their often-conflicting interests. Exporters represented by the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance can expect a continuation of Canada’s emphasis on bilateral commodity agreements and no foreseeable progress on domestic or export subsidies that often make trade difficult. For protected supply managed sectors, their international opponents won’t have a WTO forum to continue their attacks in the near future. Exporters were most disappointed by the result. “It will be business as usual. The emphasis will be an exclusive attention to market access, and that is important,” CAFTA executive director Kathleen Sullivan said. “But we believe the real answer is a multilateral agreement that deals with a broad range of issues including subsidies, and that is not on the horizon right now. That is unfortunate.” Canadian Sugar Institute president Sandra Marsden, a member of the CAFTA delegation at the WTO meeting, said the result of stalemate is that subsidized sugar will continue to flood international markets, including European Union sugar. “The world doesn’t stand still waiting for an agreement, so 700,000 tonnes of European sugar subsidized domestically will be on the market in 2011-12,” she said. Grain Growers of Canada executive director and CAFTA president Richard Phillips said the result is a second-best solution for grain and oilseed exporters. “Realistically, the emphasis going forward will be bilateral deals, but they do not deal with some fundamental issues that affect trade,” he said. “Recently high grain prices have masked some of the problems, but that could change.” Dairy Farmers of Canada president Wally Smith, part of a delegation of supply management representatives at the meeting, said the lack of progress on a new WTO agreement leaves the dairy industry where it has been — working under the assumption that the system of protective tariffs, production controls and price-setting will continue with government support. Existing agricultural texts at the W TO would require significant reductions in supply management protections. They are supported by almost all other countries. Smith said those texts have never been approved and the agricultural negotiations were never completed. “It is true that if the modalities now on the table were approved, it would have a major impact on the dairy industry,” said Smith. “But I have full confidence that the current government will do what they say they will do to protect our industry, deal or not. I don’t think there is much nervousness in the industry because they trust the government to do what it says it will do. It has so far.” access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Outside investors worry trade U.S. dollar and stock market trends | It could be another year before agriculture interest renews BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
CHICAGO — DTN’s top analyst sees worrying developments in grain markets. Darin Newsom said a stable U.S. dollar is bad news because it makes it harder to attract investment dollars into agricultural commodities. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is firming and building some bullish momentum, which could pull money out of commodities and into stocks. And the Continuous Commodity Index is showing continued liquidation in non-commercial positions. That means speculators are putting their money elsewhere. “This bothers me, this type of pattern combined with what we see in the Dow and what we see in the dollar,” Newsom told farmers attending DTN’s Ag Summit. It is an important dynamic because Newsom is convinced that outside investors will play a major role in what happens to grain markets in 2012. He gave farmers his best guess where corn, soybean and wheat markets may be heading based on his analysis of various indicators. The corn market is about where it should be based on the five-year seasonal index . But if pr ices stay depressed much longer, that will be another worrisome development because it means corn is deviating from its trend. Non-commercial investors have been getting out of the corn market since February. It reminds Newsom of 2008, which means it could be another year before investors become interested in the commodity again. He thinks the March contract for corn will drop to about $5.50 per bushel in late January or early February due to the lack of investor interest and markets growing more comfortable with supplies. However, Newsom thinks the corn market will rebound in the summer, rallying to $6.75 or even $7 per bushel due to continued strong global

Investors have exited the soy mar-

about a year-and-a-half,” said Newsom. “At some point you would think this group is going to get interested in soybeans.” But the global supply and demand situation for soybeans is more bearish than it is for corn. “This is going to make it very difficult for soybeans to rally. The only reason why soybeans might rally is to keep up with corn,” he said. He expects the nearby soybean futures contract to fall to about $10.70 per bu. this winter and then rebound to about $14.50 to $14.60 by August as the crop follows its normal seasonal pattern. But soybeans will have a tough time eclipsing that level. “There is just no real fire underneath this market,” said Newsom. “With the type of production that is possible in South America this year this might get more bearish.” There is even less fire in wheat markets. The only thing that might save wheat is that non-commercial investors have sold way more contract than they have purchased. They were 52,000 contracts short in wheat. At some point that has to change, which could lead to a $1 per bu. rally in the wheat market. “If I was going to take a fly on something I’d probably look at wheat. What possible reason does it have to go down anymore?” But the outlook is incredibly bearish on the commercial side of the market, where buyers are giving growers the straight-arm. “The commercial side says, ‘We don’t want your wheat now, we don’t want it 60 days from now, we don’t need it 90 days from now. You can hold it as long as it stays good in the bin.’” The world stocks-to-use ratio in wheat is a price-depressing 30 percent compared to less than half that amount for corn. “So almost one-third of all the demand that is projected we will still have in ending stocks. It’s an incredibly bearish situation,” said Newsom. Getting to $6.70 per bu. could be a tough slog given that bloated supply.
Vancouver congestion post-CWB concern Observers expect single desk’s demise to change transportation patterns BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM
E n d i n g t h e Ca na d i a n W h e a t Board’s role in grain transportation could improve the efficiency of the country grain handling system, says the federal grain monitor. However, changes to the CWB will have no affect on two of the bigger problems in Canada’s grain transportation system, said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., which serves as the federal government’s grain monitor. Those problems are congestion at the Por t of Vancouver and the increasing time it takes to load ocean vessels there, he told a University of Saskatchewan conference looking at life in the post CWB monopoly era. William Drew, head of Nearco Transportation Consulting Ltd. and formerly of the Churchill Gateway Development Corp., said Canada’s other grain ports — Prince Rupert, Thunder Bay and Churchill — could suffer even while Vancouver is overloaded. Hemmes said it is impossible to predict all the changes that will come from an open system. However, after dozens of meetings with grain transportation stakeholders since the government announced its intention to change the CWB’s role, he said it seems there should be fewer crises in the system and more opportunities for efficiencies once grain companies have complete control over the timing of grain deliveries and other logistics. On the other hand, he added, farmers might find their delivery options reduced as companies designate certain elevators to be commodity access=subscriber section=markets,crops,news

Economy too weak and grain stocks too high to trigger crop price boom
A
fter an autumn of financial crisis and falling markets, are we in the same position as we were in December 2008? Standard Chartered, a British bank that does most of its business in Asia and Africa, thinks so. “Markets are nervous, supply is constrained, demand is not waning and costs remain high — this is an almost perfect setup for a sustained rally once confidence returns,” the bank wrote in a recent report. The bank sees a commodity rally in 2009 that will be most vigorous in the April to June quarter. Base metals will be the biggest gainers, but the bank also sees improvements in agricultural prices. Demand from China and other Asian countries is likely to pick up in the new year, it says, supporting prices. While this is possible, and indeed we often see a late winter-early spring grain price rally to encourage
seeding, there are many reasons to think that if we do get a rally, it will be similar to the anemic one of spring 2009 and not the robust rise of 2010-11. There were weather problems this year but no huge production disasters, such as the Russian drought of 2010. All exporters have lots of grain available, particularly middle and low grade wheat. Also negative for wheat prices this winter is the improving moisture situation in the winter wheat belt of the U.S. Plains. The increased availability of feed wheat is helping keep a lid on corn prices. Corn is the only grain with a tight stocks-to-use ratio, but that could ease with good weather in the coming year. Informa Economics, a closely watched U.S. agricultural analytical firm, said Dec. 16 that it expects next year’s U.S. corn area to be 94.389 million acres, a 2.7 percent increase over 2011 and the most since 1944. University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good had a slightly lower estimate of 94 million acres in a recent analysis. He said that would lead to a harvested acreage of 87 million acres with the usual abandonment. Yields bouncing back to a more normal 160 bushels an acre would produce a U.S. corn crop of 13.92 billion bu., 1.6 billion more than this year. The Canadian Wheat Board, in the comments accompanying the latest Pool Return Outlook, said a crop that
size means “facing the prospect of almost doubling ending stocks with all the negative implications to the price structure that infers.” We need a weather threat or a significant improvement in the world economy to shake grain markets out of their funk. There are signs that the U.S. economy is improving a little and unemployment is falling gradually. However, the regularly erupting European debt crisis keeps extinguishing any nascent optimism that might be developing. Also, the U.S. government and Federal Reserve have much less ability to stimulate the economy this year than they did in 2010, and European governments are entirely focused on austerity rather than on boosting the economy. The weather might hold more potential to shake things up. La Nina appears to be stronger than predicted early this fall. It is playing true to form with dryness in Argentina and parts of Brazil. This could limit yields if it continues for several weeks. Analysts had initially expected the two South American farm powerhouses would produce a soybean crop slightly larger than last year’s record 124 million tonnes and a much bigger corn crop, up 10 million tonnes to 90 million. But now that is threatened. The worry might be a flash in the pan if rain returns in January, but if it doesn’t, it would support oilseeds, access=subscriber section=markets,news,none

specific, handling only special crops or only wheat. If efficiencies do occur, it will build on a history of improvement that has reduced the time grain sits in the system to 52 days from 68 in 1999. “Overall, we are dealing with a syst e m t hat ha s s e e n re ma rka b l e improvement in the last 10 years,” Hemmes said. However, the time it takes to load a ship has increased to 6.2 days from 4.3 in 1999. Drew said the loading delays make Canada’s grain industry less competitive. Most customers buy grain on a free on board basis, meaning they pay for the grain and the vessel charter. If they know delays in loading will increase the cost of the charter, they will want to pay less for the grain. “The longer we have vessels waiting, it will reflect on the price we are getting,” he said. Hemmes said ensuring the right grain is at the correct location at the right time could reduce loading delays. Also, terminals need to find ways to load even while it is raining.
MARK HEMMES QUORUM CORP.
With the wheat board no longer directing grain to ports, Hemmes said the major grain companies will probably try to maximize use of their most profitable port facilities in Vancouver to the detriment of Prince Rupert, jointly owned by Viterra, James Richardson International and Cargill. “There is a concern of many that think probably the most efficient terminal in North America and certainly the most efficient on the West Coast … would become a surge capacity for Vancouver,” Hemmes said. However, Vancouver is getting crowded. The volume of all goods moving through the port, including coal, fertilizer, minerals and containers, is predicted to rise to 130 million tonnes in five to six years from 101

million now. The mountains and Fraser River limit the railways to one line each. Meanwhile, the rail line to Prince Rupert is underused. Drew thinks grain companies that have country and port facilities, Viterra, JRI and Cargill, will fare the best in the post CWB monopoly environment. Companies without port facilities, such as the new voluntary wheat board, will struggle unless they can form a relationship with a port terminal owner, he said. And even if they negotiate a deal, it will likely have terms that will be difficult to meet. Viterra and JRI can source enough grain from their own country systems to keep their port facilities busy. “Cargill is the only company of the big three in my analysis that should go out and get grain. The other two really don’t need to,” Drew said. There would be little financial benefit for Viterra or JRI to allow other grain companies to use their Vancouver terminals. “I think they are probably going to look at that as, say, ‘we really don’t need their grain. Maybe someday we’ll just buy them out.’ ”
including canola, and corn prices. Another supporting element for oilseed prices is the expectation that U.S. farmers will trim soybean acreage this spring. Informa pegged its U.S. soybean area outlook at 74.608 million acres, down from this year’s 75 million. Weather experts are saying the potential for continued dry weather is greater for Argentina than for Brazil. The La Nina is stronger than expected but still not as strong as last year, and I doubt it will hurt yields enough in a large enough area to cause the type of production disaster that triggers a major price rally. I fear we will have to wait for either a drought in the Northern Hemisphere or a reviving world economy to power a sustained rally.
WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Viterra is offering forward contracts on wheat and barley now that the bill ending the Canadian Wheat Board’s 68-yearold marketing monopoly has become law. “Starting today, Viterra is pleased to offer bids to western Canadian wheat, durum and barley producers,” chief executive officer Mayo Schmidt said in a statement Dec. 16. “The company is building on its positive relationships with growers by providing new markets for their wheat and barley, as it currently does for oilseeds, pulses, oats and other grains.” access=subscriber section=markets,crops,news
DURUM FALLS IN DECEMBER PRO Durum users are holding back from purchases, pressuring prices lower. Also the weaker euro gives European durum an edge over Canadian grain. The result is durum Pool Return Outlooks that are about $18-$20 per tonne lower than in November. The Canadian Wheat Board also slightly lowered most wheat outlooks, reflecting the downturn in global prices, but a few classes rose by $1.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT
FED PRICE LOWER
CATTLE ON FEED
HOG PRICES DIP
The week’s limited trade consisted of only steers, with the Canfax average price at $114.75 per hundredweight, down 71 cents. A large part of the show list was short fed yearlings. Feedlots have aggressively marketed yearlings, significantly reducing the dressing percentage. The greener cattle on offer could further entice packers to pursue rail bids. The cash-to-futures basis weakened $3.05 to close at -$8.23. Year-to-date fed cattle exports are down 33 percent from last year. The weaker futures market and widening cash to futures basis indicates the seasonal peak is over. Despite the wider basis, U.S. buyer interest will be limited because their market-ready supply is increasing.
The number of cattle in U.S. feedlots Dec. 21 was up four percent from last year and within the range of analysts’ expectations. November marketings were steady with last year. That was more than expected and a support to the nearby February contract. Placements were up four percent, much more than expected, and that could pressure farther out futures months.
U.S. hog prices finished the week lower, and traders are concerned about whether the strong exports that have supported the market will continue. Slaughter in the coming week will be affected by the usual holiday plant closures. Packer margins are healthy. Iowa-southern Minnesota live hogs traded at about $61.50 US per hundredweight Dec. 15, down from $63 Dec. 9. The U.S. pork carcass cut-out value closed at $90.84 per cwt. Dec 16, up slightly from $90.24 Dec. 9. The U.S. federal weekly slaughter estimate was 2.33 million, steady with 2.33 million the previous week.

BISON MOSTLY STEADY The Canadian Bison Association
said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.75-$4 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers fell on the low end of range $3.60-$4 range. Animals older than 30 months and those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted. Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $2.50-$2.70.
SHEEP REPORT Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 368 sheep and 124 goats sold Dec. 12. Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $242-$266 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $225-$253, 86-105 lb. were $191$225 and 106 lb. and heavier were $180-$195. Wool rams were $80-$110 per cwt. Cull ewes were $75-$105 and bred
ewes were $220-$290 per head. Hair lambs lighter than 70 lb. were $210-$234 per cwt., 70-85 lb. were $212-$245, 86-105 lb. were $180$200 and 106 lb. and heavier were $170-$188. Hair rams were $75-$90 per cwt. Cull ewes were $80-$90. Good kid goats lighter than 50 lb. were $205-$240. Those heavier than 50 lb. were $180-$245 per cwt. Nannies were $68-$120 per cwt. Billies were $135-$160. Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 2,969 sheep and lambs and 476 goats traded Dec. 12. All new crop lambs and kid goats sold in premium ranges. Heavy lambs opened steady but sold unevenly as the sale progressed. Good sheep traded $5-$10 cwt. lower. Heavy goats were barely steady. access=subscriber section=markets,livestock,news
SLAUGHTER COWS UP Stronger demand pushed the D1, D2 cattle average to $68.38 per cwt. and D3 to $59.75, up about $1.30 per cwt. Prices could rise more this week. Dressed cow prices rose $2-$3 to $130-$135. Butcher bulls saw prices higher than $1.60 higher to average $74.85.
FEEDERS STEADY Auction volume is slowing as the holidays approach. Feeder prices were steady. Light stocker steers and heifers 300500 pounds saw prices soften on poor quality. Steers and heifers 500-800 lb. were mostly steady. Feeders heavier than 800 lb. Prices rose slightly. The auction volume was 36,998 head, down 31 percent. Anticipated moderate supplies of feeder cattle for the remainder of 2011 will firm prices. Bred cows were $1,050-$1,875 and bred heifers were $1,100-$1,725.

FOOD EXPORTS | SUSTAINABILITY
CRAIG’S VIEW
Farmers feed the world; so why are millions hungry?
F
armers feed the world. It’s a frequently mentioned fact that is often used as an irrefutable defence when agriculture is criticized. Another fact is that farmers feed only those in the world who can afford to buy what is produced. It is an international shame that while food production continually increases, the number of hungry people in the world also continues to rise. Prairie farmers can take pride in their ability to provide safe, nutritious food, but it should not be cloaked in the guise of complete altruism. Farmers farm to support themselves and their families. They farm to make a profit and improve their lifestyles and array of choices. Before farmers can help others, they must be able to support and sustain themselves. That’s another irrefutable fact. The same can be said of anyone in business. It’s the rare agricultural meeting that doesn’t mention the “farmers feeding the world” reality. Those of us in the industry assume the public shares our perception of its importance. That’s not necessarily the case. Jolene Brown is an Iowa author and farm business consultant who often speaks on behalf of the Center for Food Integrity, which was designed to build consumer trust in the food system. She says feeding the world doesn’t register high on the list of things that impress consumers. “That is our loftier vision and goal, but what we’re finding in the Centre for Food Integrity is that that’s not a bridge builder. It’s not a motivator. “Is it critically important and of high value? You bet. But it is not a motivator that keeps us in business.” Dwayne Beck, research manager at Dakota Lakes Research Farm in Pierre, South Dakota, is dismissive of the “feeding the world” attribute. “It makes no sense for us to degrade our ecosystem to feed nine billion people because then we won’t be able to feed ourselves,” he says. “If we can’t do it without degrading our

system, it’s too bad. We’ll have to send them a note, and say ‘sorry, can’t do it.’ ” Beck isn’t exactly the Grinch that he sounds. He was emphasizing farmers’ need to conserve soil nutrients rather than steadily exporting them. But what about exports? Global commodity prices and international trade help prairie farmers survive and thrive, but those things are also among the reasons global poverty is a problem, ironic though that seems. Costs limit the poor in other countries from getting enough to eat. Exports to poorer countries may prevent them from developing or improving their own agricultural abilities, we are told. Besides the virtual export of soil nutrients, the Prairies also export virtual water, the moisture needed to produce every food product. But Roger Gibbins, president of the Canada West Foundation, says agricultural exports, including virtual water, can be viewed as a gain rather than a loss. “We’re not going to export water to Darfur, to India or other places, but we can export the food we produce. If we can put more agricultural land into production, if we can be more efficient, that’s our contribution.” Feeding the world is a complex process, fraught with challenges and politics. But it is a lofty goal that farmers can and should embrace. The season of giving is an ideal time to consider how agriculture can feed the world in a sustainable way.

FOOD SECURITY | TRADE VERSUS LOCAL PRODUCTION
Debate heated over role of international trade in achieving food self sufficiency NATIONAL VIEW
BARRY WILSON
I
t was by almost any measure a highly unusual public spat between two high-profile international food-related agencies and their senior officials. On the eve of last week’s World Trade Organization ministerial meeting in Geneva, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food issued a report in Rome that accused the trade obsessed
WTO of jeopardizing the right to food for poor people. Olivier de Schutter said proper international policies would allow food-stressed countries to store reserves and stop them from being exported, create marketing boards and supply management schemes and generally be exempted from accusations of trade distortion. More liberalized trade is not the answer to world food security, said de Schutter. “WTO members should preserve and create a range of flexibilities in the Doha Round negotiations in order to ensure that the future international trade regime operates in lock step with multilateral and national efforts to address food insecurity,” he wrote in his report. “In particular, they should make WTO
measures more compatible with the pursuit of food security and the human right to food.” WTO top bureaucrat Pascal Lamy immediately rose to the bait, sending off a public letter calling the analysis simplistic and wrong. “I fundamentally disagree with your assertion that countries need to limit reliance on international trade to achieve food security objectives,” he wrote. The war of words was on. On Dec. 16, Lamy sent his director of the WTO agriculture division out to a news conference. Clemens Boonekamp is a quiet spoken, self-effacing fellow with a sharp tongue. He laid out the WTO argument succinctly. In a world of plentiful food, one billion people go hungry. There is
enough food to go around but the problem is distribution. “That’s why food security is near the top of the agenda,” he said. “It is because of the irony that there is enough food but growing numbers of hungry.” But while it is an international issue, solutions generally lie with sovereign governments. Governments should invest in programs to ensure that enough food is produced to feed its people. Trade that harms local farmers should not be a crutch. “Can governments achieve this goal?” asked Boonekamp. “In almost all cases, I have to say the answer is no.” It would be a waste of resources and effort and still, most countries could not do it. If they did, it would be at the
cost of national wealth. Better that countries best suited to growing food do it and countries that need food be allowed to import it, raising the living standard of both, he said. Boonekamp decried the food selfsufficiency movement as a single answer argument while readily conceding that freer trade is just part of the solution. Still, food self-sufficiency prophets are gaining ground. From the audience, Norwegian Farmers’ Union adviser Hildegunn Gjengedal quickly challenged him. “We are not afraid of trade but we worry about lower trade barriers and the ability of traders to subsidize at the expense of our farmers,” she said. The debate, as they say, is to be continued. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

COMMUNITY SPIRIT | SCHOOL CONCERT
the season No room in the gym; tradition continues ’Tis to celebrate BY ALAN GUEBERT
friends, family
A
month ago I enjoyed a church dinner in the gymnasium of the grade school I attended 50 years ago. Back then, the gym sparkled with newness because, like the school itself, it was brand new, finished just weeks before I reported to the first grade as an equally new student. The school had been extensively remodeled over the ensuing half century, but the gym had changed little. Roll-out, three-row wooden bleachers still lined the long walls of the same basketball court we were permitted to use only if it rained during recess. A raised, curtained stage anchored the court’s south end while the north wall held four doors and the original scoreboard. The gym, then as now, served many purposes: athletic facility, auditorium, wedding hall, dining room, playground and, on occasion, church. Since German Lutherans are incapable of doing anything social without coffee and a light lunch of, say, roast beef, mashed potatoes, two vegetables, red Jell-O salad and either pie, cake or both, a kitchen was placed off one corner of the gym so that hot lunches could be served to the schoolchildren and dinners to groups dining al fresco al gymnasio. Back then, the biggest event in the big room was the Christmas school program. At 7 p.m. every Christmas Eve, 180 or so of us smartly-dressed little angels paraded into the gym to perform a lengthy, sometimes off-

key lineup of Christmas hymns and Scripture readings for a standingroom-only crowd of proud parents and grandparents. While our singing and recitations may have not have been perfect, it wasn’t from lack of practice. We marched and recited and sang for weeks in our classrooms and the gym because every word said or sung in both English and German had to be memorized. The week before the program, Walter Voss, the school’s janitor, slowly and methodically filled the gym with an ocean of steel folding chairs. The sea of institutional brown was parted only by a middle channel where we would pass through to the
Promised Land, er, our assigned seats in the bleachers. The big show began with the gym darkened for dramatic effect. That was our cue to stop our hallway yipping and begin to remember the words of Lift Up Ye Heads Ye Mighty Gates to sing as we marched through the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. Ninety or so minutes of hymns and Old and New Testament verses later, the program ended with children and congregation singing Joy to the World. It may sound blasphemous to say we rocked that gym, but that’s exactly what we did — in joy, praise and thanksgiving. One Christmas Eve when I was in college, I accompanied my parents
to the program. As the children made their exit, I spotted a boy wearing what had been until just four months before my blue, double-breasted wool blazer. My mother, who had made it for my high school senior pictures, figured I wouldn’t wear it again and donated it to the church. She was right; I didn’t wear it again. Also that year, as in every Christmas program I participated in, as the children passed the corner kitchen on their way out, each received a paper sack filled with chocolate candy and oranges. Like I said, young and old, my people rarely gather — Christmas Eve included —unless there’s a light lunch served. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none
LEGALITIES OF BILL | FORWARD CONTRACTING, PRICE POOLING
Many marketing freedom questions remain HURSH ON AG
KEVIN HURSH
S
enate approval and royal assent for Bill C-18 provides more marketing certainty for the year ahead, but there’s still no shortage of unanswered questions. Can l ega l a ct io n pre v e nt th e implementation of a bill that’s been passed into law? You’d think that question would have a clear-cut answer, but there appears to still be a minuscule chance that marketing freedom could be derailed. Grain companies are offering forward contracts for wheat, durum and barley, but those contracts will probably have an escape clause in the highly unlikely event that single desk selling is miraculously resurrected.
ICE Futures Canada is planning new futures markets for spring wheat and durum, as well as a revamped contract for barley. Those contracts are likely to be launched in the latter part of January. Forward contracts signed before then will not be based on the new futures. For spring wheat, the Minneapolis futures price can be used. Analysts say a spring wheat futures based in Western Canada should be a better tool. Time will tell which contract becomes the dominant pricing mechanism. It would be great to have a functioning durum futures, but don’t hold your breath. Many analysts believe durum won’t have sufficient volume and liquidity. Of course, forward contracting can be accomplished without a futures contract. It’s done in field peas, lentils, mustard and canaryseed, but there’s certainly more transparency and flexibility with a futures contract. If grain buyers can execute without taking as much risk, it should mean more attractive prices for producers. It’s interesting to note the differ-
ence between forward contracts for canola and those typically offered for pulse and specialty crops. Most of the contracts for pulses and specialty crops come with an act of God clause. The grain doesn’t have to be delivered if the producer has a production failure. With canola, farmers have to come up with the product or pay contract losses if they lock in a price with a grain company through a deferred delivery contract. They can’t walk away from the contract just because they had a flood, drought, hail or frost. That’s a big limiting factor in how much forward contracting we do as producers. For ward contracts for wheat, durum and barley are likely to look more like those for canola than the ones available for lentils, but it would be good for farmers to have some production risk protection. This is especially true on the quality parameters surrounding malting barley. Another unanswered question: what will the new Canadian Wheat Board offer? How quickly will the organization jump into the forward
contracting game? Will price pooling continue to be their mainstay or will they do a lot of cash business? Will grain companies offer price pooling or will they instead provide a price averaging option because it’s more transparent and easier to administer? How many marketing opportunities will emerge for specific varieties going to specific end uses? It’s not unreasonable to expect that different malting barley varieties will go to particular markets, all at different values. The same could happen with durum. Will trucking premiums disappear in the new crop year now that elevators will be competing on price for business? Long-time market choice supporters are basking in the glow of their hard-fought victory. Unfortunately, the victory has come at a time when grain prices are deteriorating.

emind me why,” a WP staff member said, her arms overflowing with pages to proof read, “they say it’s the most wonderful time of the year?” I already have a rotten reputation for being a Grinch. If there really was a Santa, I would be on the naughty list. I don’t believe I am even salvageable, like Ebenezer Scrooge. So, I have to agree that in many ways, December can be a tough go. For starters, work is wildly busy, preparing editions under much tighter-than-usual deadlines. In addition, there are extra supplements that somehow end up being prepared, proofed and printed in December. This would be fine, but then there are Christmas parties. This not only involves actually being there, but being tricked out in nice clothes, a decent hairstyle and possibly fancy shoes. Although, I admit I had a wonderful time at our Western Producer party. Don’t forget the gift shopping. Thank goodness for the advent of online shopping, or no one would ever again get a gift from me. (OK, I don’t really mean that, but that online thing has saved me a few times over the last couple of years.) There is also the decorating. I have simply given up on that. (I kind of miss the tree.) There’s plenty more, including card writing, baking and travelling. (I do have most of my cards done.) It’s just too busy. What’s this season about, anyway? Humbug. Yet this is a wonderful time because it opens the often-creaky door to heartfelt communication. It’s OK, even appropriate, to deliver meaningful messages to those you care about. In my case, I adopted a new life this year — The Western Producer life — and I learned there are no better people than in this group of folk. For instance, I hurt my foot, and within 10 minutes I had two footrests offered to me. My Aunt Mary passed away, and within a day, a card of sympathy was on my desk, signed by co-workers. I attend ag events I don’t understand, and WP reporters patiently explain the goings-on, as if I was worth the effort. All I can say is thank you for the gift of being part of this place. I feel like I really am home for Christmas. Maybe December isn’t so bad, after all. access=subscriber section=opinion,none,none

THIRD GENERATION To the Editor: I have been farming for over 70 years so have had experience with the open market and the Canadian Wheat Board. It amazes me how much smarter the third generation farmers think they are than what their forefathers were, like Rob Merrifield in an inter-
view on Question Period with Craig Oliver and Pat Martin. Most of the farmers wanting to get rid of the CWB single desk that I know are third generation and a lot of them would not be farming today if it wasn’t for the base they got from their parents or grandparents who in many cases got it because of the CWB that they worked so hard to get. I can give examples of how the open market system took advantage of farmers and I am sure if it had not been for the CWB being formed, I would not be farming today with my two sons and two grandsons. I can also give details on my experience with some sales of specialty crops on the open market system with different bonded grain compaaccess=subscriber section=letters,none,none
nies to get paid at considerable legal expense and some I have never received. I have never had any trouble with the CWB. Space does not allow it here, but if anyone is interested I will give details. Everyone has their choice now as to who they want to deliver their grain to and have it sold for them all over the world by the CWB, which will not be the case if we lose the board. (Saskatchewan premier) Brad Wall stated on Power Play with Don Martin on Nov. 9 he didn’t want decisions made on ideology. Please lead by example, premier Wall. I believe this movement is being driven by a minority of freedom seekers and if we lose our present system, you will get self-educated and the fourth generation will pay dearly for your greediness and not freedom of choice.

The stories in the Nov. 17 Western Pro ducer, “Management must embrace technology to see profit” and “Poor returns hinder lamb sector expansion,” will likely frustrate many in the business. The Australian who delivered the address on management reported that “top end producers in Australia work with researchers” and are testing principles that come out of research stations and find on-farm trials to be powerful tools. Great, except that there is pathetically little research coming from Canadian research stations, and producers have a lack of meaningful onfarm trials. He made no mention about freezing temperatures and coyotes. The “poor returns” story, submitted by Rob Fensom, was a little more to the point, except it left me wondering which market the writer was referring to when he stated that we need higher returns. The markets now are at an all time high, and will provide the best margins ever experienced for careful managers. The key to the measurement of success in my view is the margin, which is the amount of cash left when costs are deducted from income. To his credit, the writer referred to margins. It seems to be continually overlooked that there is no “one way” to obtain positive margins in sheep production. To suggest that packers, wholesalers and retailers must accept lower margins in order for producer margins to improve is extremely unrealistic. We have no benchmarks that indicate management results from different management practices on the Prairies of Canada. If I want to find the average length of lambing, the average lambing rate, the age to market, the pounds of lamb produced annually per ewe or average margins with which I can compare my management, I’m out of luck. All I’m told is that I need higher prices and must pay closer attention
OPINION to research results. It’s no wonder we can’t produce more than 40 percent of the lamb that is consumed in our country. L. T. Jones, Fairview, Alta.
BALD-FACED LIE To the Editor: The latest government missive on the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board from Agriculture Canada is propaganda of the worst sort. Not only does it use government money to urge support for a position most farmers are against, it states the position falsely. Claiming that farmers will have numerous marketing opportunities for our wheat and durum, as opposed to having only one buyer for our
grain, is a bald-faced lie. The CWB does not buy our grain; it sells it across world markets, with all returns going to farmers. Pretending that farmers will be better off with Cargill or Viterra or Paterson Grain or ADM “competing” to buy our product is another lie. Grain companies will buy grain from the farmers as cheaply as possible and sell it for as much as possible, and farmers will be shut out of profit potential in lucrative markets around the world. Using the power and resources of government to twist the truth to modify public opinion is only one component of the Harper Conservatives’ dictatorial approach to government. Proroguing parliament in the previous session to maintain power, cutting the debate off on the crucial CWB bill, refusing the opportunity for discussion on such a draconian
bill in committee and pretending the general vote on May 2 was only about the future of the board are hallmarks of a despotic government, not to mention prisons and navy and air force purchases. Although Canadians elected a majority government, we did not elect a dictatorship. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Tories quit acting like it? Duane Filson, Woodrow, Sask.
UP AND RUNNING? To the Editor: Re: Letter to Editor, Crushing Blow by John Hamon, Nov. 24 Western Producer. Mr. Hamon alludes that, when the Conservatives regained control from the NDP in 2007, Saskatchewan
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 22, 2011
reminded him of the aftermath of a Kansas tornado — “everything was in a shambles.” He goes on to say that along came Brad Wall and in no time had it up and running. Mr. Hamon must have been living on a different planet during the Conservative government reign in the 1980s followed by the NDP period 1991 through 2007. The Conservatives took over balanced books in 1982, accumulated a deficit of $3.5 billion by 1986-87 and topped that up to $15 billion by the time they were ousted in 1991. Our province was broke and the federal government was on the verge of assuming administrative control. The Romanow government presented a long-range plan that convinced the credit institutions that our province had the resilience to
climb out of the mess. Despite staggering interest costs in the interim, by the time the Conser vative government came to power in 2007, more than half the debt had been retired and, most important, the debt-to-GDP ratio had recovered to a respectable 14.7 percent. I’m very pleased that our province is doing well with Mr. Wall at the helm, but let’s call a spade a spade. Mr. Wall took control at a most fortuitous moment, namely after all facets of our society had been forced to endure cutbacks for some 16 years and the demand for farmland, oil, potash, and other resources was entering an unprecedented boom. So, Mr. Hamon, who really “got it up and running?” Don Scott, Garrick, Sask.

Story of Mary and Elizabeth SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

M
ary, the young peasant girl, found herself pregnant and scared. Luke tells her story leading up to the Christmas event. This was supposed to be a blessed occurrence, he tells us, but Mary was confused and alone. She thought of Elizabeth, an older relative known for her wisdom. Imagine the scene. Elizabeth opened her door and her arms to hug the young visitor. Instinctively she felt both pain and joy. “You are blessed among women,” she whispered in Mary’s ear by way of validation, and that validation helped lift the burden from Mary’s shoulders. Within a few moments the story was told, so far as Mary understood it. What a relief to feel the encouragement and to have one who would help her understand what was happening. In due course, Mary was able to express her gratitude to Elizabeth by singing, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God ... for God has looked upon the low estate of this handmaiden ... for God who is mighty has done great things for me.” When Mary realized that Elizabeth was also pregnant, she stayed with her. As they tended the home-making chores and marketing together, we can imagine them sharing details about their developing pregnancies. Both were trying to grapple with how the hand of God changed their lives. Eventually it was time for Mary to return to face her confused yet devoted fiancé. Elizabeth made suggestions how Mary might encourage him and love him through the bad times they had yet to face. Out of the rich sharing of sisterhood, both women found enough strength to nurture a new generation.

Grain quality won’t suffer, commission head says BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Canada will maintain its reputation as a shipper of quality grain in the post single desk environment, says Elwin Hermanson, the head of the Canadian Grain Commission. Customers, grain industry executives and analysts have expressed concern that the Canadian grain grading system for wheat and barley will start to resemble the one used in the United States. “Over time, my guess would be that competitive pressures will force harmonization,” Bill Wilson, an agribusiness and applied economics professor at North Dakota State University, told a University of Saskatchewan conference on life after Bill C-18. CGC chief commissioner Hermanson disagreed. “Where it makes sense and where it’s an asset for marketing, obviously we should move in that direction,” he told the conference. But he doesn’t anticipate complete harmonization. “Because we have different environments in which we grow our grain, there will always be differences between the Canadian grading system and the American grading system, just as there are different grading factors between grains grown in Western Canada and Eastern Canada.” Hermanson said there is nothing in the new Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act that changes how grades will be set. The eastern and western standards committees will continue to propose changes and the commission will continue to have the final say. And the commission still has to sign off on every vessel of grain leaving Canada. “We will not issue a certificate final if those grade standards and those specifications haven’t been met,” he said. Brian Rossnagel, a retired University of Saskatchewan oat and barley breeder, said it is imperative that Canada maintains its reputation for producing quality grain. “We need to remember where we’re located. We are geographically in one of the toughest places in the world to grow a crop,” he said. That means Canadian growers won’t be able to compete with those in the United States, southern Europe, Eastern Europe and parts of Australia in terms of yields. “We simply don’t have a long enough growing season or most of the time enough water,” he said. “We need to continue to produce the very best premium quality we can in order to maintain our place in the market.” Hermanson said the commission will adapt in other ways, such as how it regulates licensed grain buyers. The commission will also continue to allocate producer cars, which currently handle about four percent of Canada’s grain exports, the vast majority of which are board grains. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

AG SUMMIT | WEATHER
Farmers can’t avoid climate change Experts say wet weather is here to stay | Increased moisture problematic for producers BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
CHICAGO — Farmers can expect a continued trend toward wetter and warmer growing seasons and more weather volatility in the years ahead, according to two American weather experts. “If you’re going to be farming in the future, your experience with weather and climate are going to be different than anybody who has been farming the last 30 to 40 years,” said Charlie Walthall, national program leader for climate change at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. Climate change is real and having a profound effect on farming in the 21st century, added Dennis Todey, president of the American Association of State Climatologists. “Everybody is increasing in precipitation,” he said during DTN’s Ag Summit in Chicago. The increased moisture trend is particularly pronounced in the U.S. Midwest, where farmers are seeing more spring and summer precipitation. “More of it is occurring in heavier rainfall events, which from a production standpoint is really not a good thing. More soil erosion, more soil loss,” said Todey. “The amount of runoff is astronomical with some of these major events.” Farmers are experiencing wetter falls, which is creating harvest headaches in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Fall precipitation has increased 20

to 60 percent in the eastern Dakotas over the last 20 years compared to the previous 30 years. Walthall said the wet pattern doesn’t extend into the winter months. “Overall, we’re seeing a decreased amount of snowfall. That has massive implications for water supply, especially in the west. It has massive implications for soil temperature.” Decreased snowfall combined with early snow melt is stressing the high altitude reservoirs that supply water to farmers downstream. There is also a trend toward higher temperatures, which is more pronounced in the northern parts of North America. “We’re warming in a way that most people don’t think of,” said Todey. “In the upper Midwest, it is ex-
tremely clear we’re warming during the winter time.” It’s a different story in the summer. Daytime highs are flat or slightly decreasing while overnight temperatures are on the rise. The dew point is increasing, which means more moisture in the air. That is contributing to higher nighttime temperatures and increased disease pressure in crops. Walthall said soil moisture is depleting despite increased growing season precipitation because the rain is coming fast and furious rather than in slow and gentle two-day events that help recharge soil moisture. This new pattern is affecting crop yields, as is the soil erosion that accompanies heavy downfalls. Walthall is particularly concerned about how changes in temperature and precipitation are changing the habitat for viruses, bacteria, insects and pathogens. For example, poison ivy is a lot more irritating than it was in the 1950s. Chemicals in the plant have become so concentrated that people
now need be only near the plant to have a reaction. “That’s a visible byproduct of what’s going on,” he said. Crops are not being bred to take advantage of the additional carbon dioxide in the air, but weeds are thriving under those conditions. One of Walthall’s researchers recently conducted a herbicide effectiveness experiment where weeds were grown in one chamber using today’s carbon dioxide levels and in another chamber using levels expected by 2050. The weeds in the simulated 2050 chamber required four times as much herbicide to control them. “My concern is this is going to impact the cost of farming,” he said. Invasive weed species are already on the rise, leading to an increase in rangeland fires because they’re a good fuel source. Todey said farmers of the future can expect increased weather volatility, where a day with record high temperatures is followed by a day with record lows or a year of drought is followed by a year of flooding. There will be stronger winds and more tornadoes and hailstorms. In general, farming is going to be a riskier proposition than it is today. One of the potential upsides to global warming is the lengthening of the growing season. The date of the first fall frost has moved back one to three days per decade in the U.S. corn belt. Todey said that could eventually allow for double cropping in the warmer areas of that region. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

APAS | WEATHER INFORMATION
Sask. farm group offers members weather info Earth Networks to expand presence | APAS will offer information from weather stations to farmers in member RMs STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU
The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan hopes to increase its membership by offering online, local weather service. At its recent annual meeting, APAS launched a new web portal network called myRM.ca. Residents in rural municipalities that are APAS members will be able to access community information such as events or road closures through the sites, as well as weather
information from a weather station linked to that RM’s portal. The stations will be part of a network operated by WeatherFarm, which already has 300 stations in Saskatchewan. Former APAS president Greg Marshall said the farm group will add up to 70 more stations to that network. WeatherFarm works with Earth Networks, which operates the largest weather network in the world and owns WeatherBug. “We lack good weather information in this province so we have tried for a
number of years to encourage farmers to put these weather stations on their farms,” said Marshall. “They haven’t picked up on the idea, and so that’s why we decided we’d make it part of our incentive package.” APAS used to offer a cash discount in January for RMs that rejoined during that month. The weather station has replaced the discount. Marshall said many RMs told APAS they saw the need for a website, but the cost was prohibitive. Combining the two services is a
win-win, he said. Seventeen of APAS’s 64 member RMs had initiated their portals as of Dec. 15. Earth Networks technicians are working in the province to set up the weather stations. Marshall said farms are getting so large that conditions at one end of a farm may differ greatly from those at the other end. Local weather stations can help make farm management decisions. “If you want to go to the other end of the farm to spray, (a station there could indicate) what is the wind
speed and direction, what’s the temperature and did it rain,” he said. “That’s sort of the beauty of being able to share. If I have one and my neighbour has one and he lives closer to the other side of my farm, I can access his weather station as well.” WeatherFarm manager Gary Ash said users can customize their weather services by building an alert system using up to 10 weather stations and five alerts per station. That provides 50 alerts of impending weather conditions that could affect crops and livestock. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

APAS | RESOLUTIONS
Delegates suggest change to assistance programs Delegates to the recent Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan annual meeting in Regina have advice for policy makers. They passed several resolutions calling for changes to farm assistance and other programs. One recommends that disaster programs such as the excess moisture program be unlinked from other income programs so they aren’t clawed back. Another suggested that the payments qualify as allowable net sales for AgriInvest contributions because they are considered income under AgriStability. There is also concern about farmland ownership. Delegates urged the provincial government to keep legislation that restricts foreign ownership and asked to be involved if there are future consultations regarding changes. They said farmland is a strategic resource and Canada must keep its right to limit foreign ownership. APAS also delved into the issue of child care, requesting that the funding announced in the fall election campaign for 2,000 new day-care spaces be extended into predictable, multi-year funding and that rural areas be allocated an adequate share of those spaces. Delegates also addressed production concerns. They want the Canadian Grain Commission to fast track development of reliable machines to test falling number in wheat and make them usable at commercial elevators and farms. They urged all levels of government to co-ordinate efforts to stop the spread of clubroot in canola. APAS wants a provincial meat strategy that would be developed in consultation with industry to support processing and interprovincial movement of meat products. Delegates also said a new meat hygiene standard has not reduced regulatory barriers to interprovincial movement. They want the federal government to revise the standard. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
1000 Foot Views Show Technotill Advantage Getting a 1000 foot perspective on how crops are performing, gives North Battleford, Sask. area farmer and private pilot Alan Heidel a much better idea of how his crop management system is working. Heidel who switched to the Technotill seeding system on his 41 foot airseeding system five years ago, says a weekly flight in his Piper Warrior PA28 over his fields throughout the growing season tells the story. “I have been really impressed with how even the germination is over a whole field, from flat areas to the hill tops, and over different soil types and you can’t always see that even walking the fields,” says Heidel who crops about 2,200 acres of grains, oilseeds and pulse crops. “I use a narrow one-inch Bourgault opener so there is very little soil disturbance. I can run the opener shallow when there is good moisture, or deeper to reach moisture in dryer years and there is still just this one-quarter inch of packed soil on top of the seed. There is excellent seed to soil contact and very even germination.” Heidel says the system works equally well with all crops from wheat, to canola, to peas, to lentils, and to oats. “We used to broadcast apply our canola just ahead of the seeding equipment,
which covered the seed, but I wasn’t happy with germination. The Technotill system works extremely well.” And with the Technotill system, he likes the fact that fertilizer is placed just above and to the side of the seed row. He can place all fertilizer at time of seeding without risk of seedling injury, and especially in wet years he likes the fact the fertilizer is being moved down into the root zone, rather than being leached away below the roots. With a direct seeding system, with very low disturbance, and by leaving crop residue on the field, Heidel says there has been a marked increase in soil organic matter particularly in areas of sandier soil. “We’ve had some good growing conditions the last few years, but even with that I can tell crops are much more even, the fields are fuller with improved plant stands, and yields have increased,” he says. “It is a very simple and efficient system that all helps the bottom line,” says Heidel.

farmers but they may need to rethink the quality offered for sale. Canada grows plenty of high quality wheat and cannot sell it all into premium markets. It offers commercially clean grain with superior protein and gluten. However, buyers may not want that. “I think we grow too much high quality wheat. I think we have gone too far in the promotion of high quality wheat. The Canadian brand is costing you money,” he said. He likened the trade to trying to sell nothing but BMWs when people want a more moderate car. Canada needs to produce more high yielding, medium quality wheat like CPS because the world market wants more of that. The board sells about 5.5 million tonnes of high quality wheat into Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, the U.S., Peru and the United Kingdom. The mid quality markets are Saudi Arabia, Iran, Dubai, all of South America and Africa, which accepts about six to nine million tonnes. While the quality may alter, the grading system will not. The Canadian Grain Commission has a reputation for quality assurance, grading and sanitary standards, he said. “I don’t think that reputation will change and I don’t think we are going to abandon our grading system.” As for barley, that business has waned in recent years in North America because the returns are lower. “Barley is becoming a very marginal crop in the U.S.,” said Russ Crawford, president of Agrinomics I.T. Consulting Ltd. He is conducting a study for the Western Barley Growers Association that has revealed opportunities and weaknesses under a new system. Australia, Argentina, Russia and the Ukraine are increasing production but the Canadian volume is shrinking. As crops get smaller it is more challenging to trade and fewer people want to handle it. Canada has a good reputation for producing high quality malt barley and it is a competitive crop on a per acre basis. However, a large percentage of the crop falls into the unacceptable category so if it is not selected for malt, it is graded as feed. Crawford said there is demand for mid to lower quality malt barley and higher quality feed. A lower price may be offered for the high end grain but higher prices could be paid for the mid quality. He suggested a need for more intermediate grades and said more varietal research should be run to produce mid quality malts. Statistics Canada reported 5.8 million acres were seeded to barley in 2011. About 70 to 80 percent of those acres were dedicated to malt varieties but not all are accepted, said Rob Green of Central Ag Marketing, which specializes in marketing malt barley. There is less than half a million tonnes in demand for malt barley because beer consumption is falling in North America and Europe. Under a new regime, malt growers can expect more contracts and improved access to domestic and U.S. maltsters, said Green.

MALTING BARLEY | PRODUCTION RESULTS
Preparation required to reap malting premiums Maltsters demanding | Farmers are expected to follow environmental practices and adhere to herbicide and water rules CALGARY BUREAU
BANFF, Alta. — It is relatively easy to grow feed, but malting barley requires finesse, says an Alberta grain merchant. “This year, the barley was exceptional, probably the best I have seen in 25 years in the industry,” said Rod Green of Central Ag Marketing at Airdrie. He told a recent Alberta Barley Commission meeting in Banff that maltsters are a fussy lot, taking their time accepting new varieties because they want proven, consistent quality. Metcalfe is the number one commercial variety this year and is likely to be used again next year. Copeland is in second place, while farmers are becoming increasingly interested in Meredith because it is a low protein, high yielding variety. However, maltsters aren’t as interested in Meredith because it is a long season variety and came off tough in this year’s short season. “It is going to move very slowly in the first year or two before it gets established, ” said Green. Preparation must start in the spring if barley is to be accepted after harvest. Seeding on wheat or pea stubble is not recommended because of the problem of volunteer plants. Only one percent foreign seed is allowed. Split peas are the same size as a barley kernel and turn black in the malting period. Canola stubble seems the best choice. Some maltsters want proof of certified seed rather than bin run seed. Bob Sutton of Rahr Malting Canada said customers may request certified seed or crops grown from certified seed for varietal purity and better disease resistance. They may also request crop diaries on chemical use. Some want an environmental farm plan as part of a contract agreement. Farmers should seed early for better yields and quality. Green said later seeded barley has higher protein because of stress on the crop. Glyphosate use is increasing on malting barley, even though most growers know it is not allowed in contracts. The herbicide is systemic, which means traces show up in the straw, leaves and seeds. A cargo could be rejected if residues are found. “This is an accident looking for a place to happen,” he said. Green seed is a concern in malting barley, so consider cutting around the green spots at harvest. Straight cutting at harvest is more common. Dry barley is preferred because it stores and germinates better. However, it can also be aerated to dry down. Storage temperature of the barley is also important. Grain bags are becoming more popular because they cool the grain rapidly at night. The barley goes into stasis and is better preserved. Steel bins need aeration to preserve the grain. “If you can get that barley down close to freezing quickly, your barley is going to keep for a long time,” Green said. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
There were more peeling and broken kernels this year because of the warm harvest. Excess peeling affects moisture uptake and sugar conversion and affects the malting process. Sampling is important because probing bins by hand is rarely accurate. “You should end up with a five gallon pail for every 4,000 to 5,000 bushels and that should be mixed thoroughly and kept in a cool, dry place,” Green said. Most end users need three pounds for a sample, which is the equivalent of a medium Ziploc bag.
Markets are changing for malting barley. North American beer consumption is flat but is growing in Asia. Sutton said Rahr handles 140,000 tonnes, or 6.5 million bushels, per year at Alix, Alta. A large share goes to Japan and one-third to craft breweries. These customers are demanding. “We go after the quality brewers. They make a lot of demands but they are also the most consistent, reliable and are willing to pay a premium over that mid range market,” Sutton said.
Opportunities will increase for long-term contracts after the Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk ends in August. The Japanese and craft breweries are interested in long-term contracts. “Our brewer group is not in and out of our market,” he said. “We have a lot of long-term agreements. They are much more focused on risk management and sustainability of our operation and our barley supply as well.” Craft brewers want to become more involved with farmers and hear the story behind the crop.
Environmental improvement practices are becoming more important to smaller brewers because their customers expect it. They are interested in responsible chemical and water use, as well as soil health protection. Sutton said farmers who sign contracts with buyers under the new marketing system must make sure they fulfill them to prove their reliability. “Review the contract and how it performs for you,” he said. “Don’t just get the cheque and be relieved and move on.”
Quicker emergence Many farmers. Many benefits. David Nagel farms 13,600 acres near Mossbank, SK. This is his experience. “We’ve got a split-field this year of canola with JumpStart, no-JumpStart on the seed. The canola treated with JumpStart seems to have a little more root mass on it than the untreated. The emergence seemed to be quite a bit quicker…and colour-wise the plants looked a deeper green, healthier colour to begin with. And as we got into swathing time, I saw that the JumpStart treated side of the field matured quicker than the untreated.” To put JumpStart to work on your farm, see your local retailer.

Hard problems solved with tillage tools Busting it up | High moisture and years of no-till make market for tillage tools BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU
FARGO, N.D. — The old myth about the freeze-thaw cycle breaking up hardpan is just that, according to researchers. “People used to believe there’s no soil compaction on the Prairies because of our cold winters, but that’s not true,” said Todd Botterill of Botterill Sales in Newton, Man. “Penn State studied compaction all around the world. They found that it takes five years to break up a compaction layer at a depth of 10 inches, assuming there is absolutely no traffic on that field. “It takes 10 years of the freeze-thaw cycle to break up compaction at 10 to 20 inches, again with no traffic. At 20 inches and deeper, no amount of freeze-thaw can break up the compaction.” Botterill said winter may have broken up some of the hardpan when farm implements were smaller and lighter, but the weight of modern implements has reached the point that frost is no longer a mitigating factor. “You are going to create compaction with 50,000 pound tractors, 40,000 lb. combines, 900 bushel grain carts, B trains in the field and 700 bu. air carts with 90 foot drills. You can’t avoid it,” he said. “Heavy machinery squeezes the air pockets out of the soil. Basically, the pockets collapse. They no longer hold air or water. If there’s water in the pockets going into winter, it will freeze and expand and break up s o m e h a rd p a n . B u t t h e h e av y machinery we have now destroys the pockets. Frost can’t do its job. The compaction remains.” Botterill said the dense compaction may be as shallow as six inches, but it’s hard nonetheless. “That’s why we’re seeing so many zero till guys in Western Canada having trouble lately getting their drills in the ground. It’s compaction close to the surface,” he said. “They run their drills at the same seeding depth year after year. They’re creating the same situation we had back in the days of the mouldboard plow. It wasn’t the plow itself that created the plow pan years ago.” Botterill thinks every farmer should own a penetrometer to identify their compaction locations and depths. A three-foot-deep hole may take more time than a penetrometer, but it’s a better way to study hardpan. “I dug some three foot holes with a farmer in Manitoba not too long ago. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none
LEFT: The big springs on the Blu-Jet SubTiller 4 don’t trip out until 3,000 pounds, according to Canada’s Blu-Jet representative Todd Botterill of Newton, Man. BELOW: Rather than the customary sweeps for lifting the soil load, the SubTiller 4 uses the radical angle of the shank to break up the hardpan and lift it so it crumbles. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS
We found hardpan at 14 inches in one area and 22 inches in another area.” In a field two miles away there was no compaction. “So if you’re going to take some sort of remedial action, you’d better know where the hardpan is located.” Botterill Sales recently took on three new lines of American-built tillage equipment designed for soil conditions on the Great Plains: The Blu-Jet Sub Tiller 4 is a ripper from Nebraska, the Landoll VTPlus is a vertical tillage machine from Kansas and the Smart-Till ST203 is an aerator from Kansas. Blu-Jet Sub Tiller 4 The Blu-Jet Sub Tiller comes equipped from the factory with a penetrometer. “A ripper without a penetrometer is like a car without a steering wheel,” said Botterill. Most manufacturers of in-line rippers employ a sweep at the bottom to lift the soil. “The problem with a sweep is that it creates a smear just below the depth it runs. That smear becomes your new hard surface,” he said. “So you think you’re breaking up a hardpan layer, but really, you’re creating a new one.” Blu-Jet uses a narrow shank 1.25
inches wide, with a long sharp point. “It’s mounted at a radical angle so the shank is what actually lifts the soil.” The shank and point fracture the soil up to 20 inches left and right as they slice through the soil profile. T h e s h a n k s a re m o u n t e d o n 30-inch centres, so each tool fractures compaction in a 40-inch swath and provides a 10-inch overlap. Most rippers rely on the point to do the work, but Botterill said the Blu-Jet design has the shank doing the heavy work. The point just leads the way. He said that’s why Blu-Jet tips last longer. As well, the massive, high carbon shank is six inches deep and built to take the abuse. “It’s a big heavy shank. It’s designed to hit stones and rocks and not break. It should last for decades,” he said. “The SubTiller 4 doesn’t need any down pressure. It sucks itself into the ground because of the angle of the shanks. The shanks have a 3,000 lb. trip force, so they’re definitely designed to stay in the ground.” The double frame is seven inches by seven inches, with 39-inch ground clearance. Rippled 20-inch coulters are designed to swivel as they slice through tough material such as BT corn residue. Botterill said farmers typically find their compaction layer at 10 to 12 inches. Although SubTiller 4 is
PRODUCTION designed to run as deep as 18 inches, Blu-Jet recommends finding the hardpan with a penetrometer and then running the machine about one inch below that depth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you run deeper, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just wasting fuel,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing you should think about is that running deeper than necessary actually pushes the hardpan layer down. If you push the hardpan so deep that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach it, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in real trouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any kind of ripper should be run in a rotation, never in consecutive years. Once every four years in clay; once every six years in lighter soil.â&#x20AC;? He said the ripper may be used more often in highly compacted high traffic areas. Botterill advised farmers to continually change the depth, no matter what kind of tillage tool they use. Running over the same piece of ground twice without changing the depth creates a new hardpan layer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speed should be 4.5 to 5 m.p.h. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what creates the shock and shatter in the soil.â&#x20AC;? A seven shank pull-type SubTiller 4 retails for about $32,000 US. Landoll VTPlus The Landoll VTPlus looks like a tandem disc machine at first glance, but a study of the geometry shows that the angle of the gangs has been reduced to 10 degrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what changes it into a vertical tillage machine,â&#x20AC;? said Botterill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The VTPlus has a new frame and new shallow concave discs so it buries less residue. With a tandem disc, you bury most of your residue down at the depth youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working, but the VTPlus anchors most of the residue close to the surface. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the soil organisms are and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the oxygen is, so your residue breaks down faster.â&#x20AC;?

SOIL COMPACTION | STUDY
Load above ground causes damage below Maximum weight | A five ton load compacts the soil but it can be addressed with tillage BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU
The spikes on the Smart-Till aerator penetrate to eight inches, or they can be set to skim the surface. | RON LYSENG PHOTOS The 22-inch diameter discs have a shallow 1.5-inch concave to accommodate mud scrapers. They are mounted on seven-inch centres on the front and rear gangs. Botterill said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to put scrapers on rippled blades. As a result, they plug up solid in wet soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why mud isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as much of a concern with the VTPlus as it is with other vertical units on the market,â&#x20AC;? Botterill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys want to see some black dirt in the fall so the soil warms quicker in the spring. And they want to get rid of wheel tracks too, all in the same single pass. The shallow concave discs have more sideways dirt movement to fill wheel ruts. And the rolling baskets at the back firm up the soil and anchor the residue.â&#x20AC;? Down pressure is provided by springs and is manually adjustable
with a single crank handle. Fore/aft levelling is adjusted hydraulically to tune the machine for different field conditions. The machine uses self-aligning trunnion bearings. The cushioned gang hangers flex to meet the needs, which requires it to realign itself. The bearings have triple lip seals and cannot be damaged by overgreasing. Botterill said the 33-foot unit rides on four 16.5 inch tires, four inches wider than tires found on other vertical tillage machines. It also has two tires on each wing. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
The damage is permanent once high axle loads have compacted lower subsoil to the point where it has a hardpan layer. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the conclusions reached by Penn State researchers after participating in 20 soil compaction studies throughout the northern latitudes of Europe and North America, some of which ran for 12 years. The network of soil scientists reached three main conclusions: â&#x20AC;˘ compaction in topsoil relates only to ground contact pressure â&#x20AC;˘ compaction in the upper layer of subsoil relates to both ground contact pressure and axle load â&#x20AC;˘ compaction in the lower subsoil relates only to axle load They found that compaction in the lower subsoil cannot be eliminated by deep tillage, frost-thaw cycles or wet-dry cycles. A 10-ton axle load will cause subsoil compaction at 20 inches and deeper. Swedish researchers participating in the study found that even a six-ton
axle load causes significant compaction at 20 inches. Researchers found the arbitrary cut-off point for avoiding deep compaction is an axle load of five tons or less. Significant surface compaction will still occur at that point, but it can be addressed with tillage. Producers can determine axle loads by dividing gross weight of the implement by the number of axles upon which it sits. If the total loaded weight of the vehicle is 20 tons and it rides on two axles, then the axle weight is 10 tons, enough to cause significant subsoil compaction. Contact pressure is different than axle load. It is the actual pressure exerted by a tire or rubber track on the top of the soil surface, expressed in pounds per sq. inch. Surface contact pressure is one or two pounds higher than tire pressure in most agricultural applications because of stiffness in the tire. Lower surface contact pressure results in less topsoil compaction but does not reduce subsoil compaction. access=subscriber section=crops,none,none

CONTINUED FROM SOIL COMPACTION
A more accurate way to determine surface contact pressure is to calculate the load per tire, expressed in pounds, and then divide that weight by the area of tire/soil contact footprint, expressed in square inches. This provides the approximate surface contact pressure. The commonly held assumption that rubber tracks treat topsoil better than round rubber tires was put to the test by Ohio State University researchers who compared a 310 horsepower tracked tractor to a 350 h.p. tractor with duals. The tire tractor caused the most compaction when the duals were inflated to 24 psi and the least compaction when tire pressures were dropped to six psi. That meant the rubber tracked tractor caused more compaction than the tire tractor with low psi. “Tracks offer some advantages such as a long but narrow contact area. Tracks are known to provide better traction than tires,” the Ohio study said. “However, very low average contact pressures under a track does not tell the whole story. The belt is flexible and there are pockets of high pressure under the axles of the belt that can be as high as those under a tiremounted tractor. “Each axle in a track represents a pass over the soil that causes a little more compression. Tracks increase the dwelling time of the load on the soil, which increases compaction.” Ohio researchers concluded that tracks were no better than tires when it comes to compaction.
Each axle in a track represents a pass over the soil that causes a little more compression. racks increase the dwelling time of the load on the soil, which increases compaction. OHIO STUDY
They also noted that larger diameter tires lengthen the footprint, thus lowering surface contact pressure without increasing the area of the field subjected to traffic, as duals or triples will do. Prevention measures Researchers recommend driving implements faster to shorten the load dwelling time, staying off wet fields and limiting the field subject to traffic by using repeatable designated traffic lanes. Scientists at the University of Minnesota defined the ideal noncompacted soil as comprising 45 percent minerals, five percent organic matter and 50 percent free pore space. The pore space should be half filled with air and half filled with water. Air pockets disappear, water flow is impeded and proper root development becomes impossible as implements compact pore space by pushing soil particles closer together,.

The Smart-Till aerator tines are able to dig themselves into hard ground when other tillage tools just bounce along the surface, says Todd Botterill. | TODD BOTTERILL PHOTO CONTINUED FROM TILLAGE TOOLS
The five-section 49-foot machine has walking tandem dual semi tires and walking tandems on the wings for better flotation. The 33 foot VTPlus carries a list price of $77,000. Smart-Till aerator The tines on the Smart-Till aerator are capable of cutting holes in the soil as deep as eight inches, allowing the soil better access to air and water. The tine gang angle is adjustable in 2.5 degree increments from zero degrees to 10 degrees.
“At the full 10 degree angle, I think it rips up the soil more than you want,” Botterill said. “It acts more like a roto tiller. Most guys find five degrees is about right. I’ve found five degrees gives better water infiltration than the other settings.” The spikes are eight inches long and can be set to fracture soil at the full eight-inch depth or for shallow surface work rejuvenating hayland and pasture. They cause little surface disturbance at any depth. The optional rotary harrows at the back chop residue and smooth and level the surface. They can be adjusted from 30 degrees forward to 30
degrees reversed. “We had the Smart-Till aerator at a field day,” Botterill said. “It was dry, hard soil. The other machines couldn’t get themselves into the ground to work. They just bounced along on the surface. The Smart-Till dug itself straight down into the soil to the eight inch depth and went right to work.” The 30 foot Smart-Till aerator retails for $73,000.

Producers who have trouble keeping their 16-inch auger working at full capacity may want to consider a 22,000-bushel per hour drive-over pit. That’s the capacity of the new driveover Double Barrel Pit from Pit Express in Quincy, Illinois. “It’s designed specifically for the 16 inch auger market,” Pit Express owner Steve Mast said about his company’s new product, which has twin 14-inch discharge tubes. “We did prototype testing for two years, and we saw there was a huge
demand for something like this.” The Double Barrel has an eight inch deck height and comes with hydraulic or electric drive. The twin tubes taper into a Y junction so only one large discharge tube feeds the auger. “We built a custom ordered triple barrel pit for a feedlot out there. It dumps 600 bushels a minute of high moisture corn onto a belt conveyor. “That was a special order, but it’s no problem building more of them.” The Double Barrel, which uses offthe-shelf components, sell for $24,000.

Canadian solar industry promotes solar energy strategies ENERGY FIELD
WILL ODDIE
T
here isn’t one collective association that represents all renewable energy interests. Renewable energy operates in sectors such as biofuel, biomass, wind and solar, and each sector association is a self-promoter. Each develops goals and objectives that they believe represent themselves positively and uses a variety of means to ensure that its message is heard. Each industry is interested in governments hearing its message. Governments develop policies, and the industries want to influence those policies. This is called lobbying and is often viewed negatively, but it is a genuinely useful way in which governments can learn what things are important to an industry. It is a particularly fruitful discussion if an industry’s ideals and ideas align with the objectives of the government. But in any case, the industry association must make the effort to truly represent its membership. The Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA) represents the interest of its 650 members or sponsors, which include manufacturers, distributors, power companies, retailers and installers. It has prepared a pre-federal budget brief that provides a succinct overview of proposed public policy surrounding the development of the solar industry in the near future. CanSIA argues that solar energy will be on par with conventional energy costs in a few decades, but assistance to the industry could be a
great investment in the interim. It says the industry employed at least 8,000 people this year, which will increase to 35,000 by 2025. By then, solar technologies will be reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 31 million tonnes, the equivalent of almost seven million cars. CanSIA’s report made three recommendations on how to advance this contribution. Tax credit It asked Ottawa to establish a multiyear 30 percent investment tax credit (ITC) for solar energy technology This would work like the popular Home Renovation Tax Credit, which resulted in increased spending on home renovations by $4.3 billion in one year. People would be able to use 30 percent of the capital cost of their solar installation to reduce their taxes. CanSIA said the increased expenditure and employment resulting from this move will more than offset the reduced tax revenue. The United States has used a solar ITC since 2006, which has contributed to an annual increase in installations of more than 800 percent. In 2010, manufacturing quadrupled and the economy grew by more than 67 percent with a mere 2.8 percent increase in gross domestic product. ITCs have the benefit of not requiring direct public funding, as is the case with grants. The ITC reduces the initial investment cost when the solar system is installed and helps develop a long-term strong solar industry. Green bonds The federal government should introduce green bonds to support the adoption of solar energy technology for all Canadian households, small businesses and communities A Nanos Research poll in 2008 found that more than four out of five access=subscriber section=production,none,none
AGRONOMY | PEST FORECAST
Fewer insects expected in 2012 BY JOHN B. PLUCK SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Stable insect populations are expected for 2012, unless weather causes issues. Scott Hartley told a recent canola industry meeting in Saskatoon that slugs were a significant problem this year for cereals and canola because of wet conditions. Control is difficult and expensive, costing farmers $50 to $60 an acre. He said flea beetles were not a serious issue in southern Saskatchewan this year, and populations are expected to be low in 2012. Weather conditions over the past three years have favoured root maggots, which is likely to continue. Based on the increase of the Bertha armyworm this year, canola farmers should watch for them next year because of their increasing populations this year. “We will be setting up pheromone traps again to give a better idea of what we are looking at for populations,” he said. “Cutworms, I think, would also be a good idea to keep
watching for, but it appears that they are on their downward trend.” Cutworm populations have been up over the last three years and have affected a number of crops, he added. Flea beetles might be a problem, depending on the location, but he said nothing more than a seed treatment should be necessary unless populations are high. Hartley said he worries about cabbage seedpod weevils in canola and pea leaf weevils in peas in southwestern Saskatchewan. He said it’s hard to predict the severity of diamondback moth outbreaks until infestation reports from the United States are received or the moth starts to show up in local insect traps. He said it is possible to monitor wind trajectories, but that’s not the most reliable way to obtain moth infestation data. Diamondback populations were last high in 2001, Hartley said. Wheat midge populations have been increasing recently because of moist weather conditions, he said. The wheat midge forecast will be ready by the Crop Production Show in January. access=subscriber section=production,none,none
The Canadian Solar Association proposes a federal 30 percent investment tax credit. | Canadians would consider contributing to green bonds and more than 60 percent agreed that they would be prepared to invest at the low rate of return, comparable to Canada Savings Bond. Such bonds would allow the public to invest in secure funds, which would help develop and deploy renewable energy technologies in Canada. “Green bonds would exhibit the most profound market transformation for households, small businesses and communities (including northern, remote and First Nation communities) where demand and support for solar energy technology is highest and the financial barriers are most pronounced,” CanSIA said in its submission. The association argues that green bonds would make reasonably priced credit available to help adopt solar energy technologies, and that any cost to the government, including regulation and administration, would be offset many fold by the benefits generated through taxation of renewable energy infrastructure installations.

The association concluded by suggesting that while solar energy technologies will inevitably become commonplace, adoption could be greatly improved with modest but strategic support. It points to the deployment of solar energy technologies and services in Ontario, where there has been private sector investment of $2 billion and the creation of 8,200 jobs in 2011.

DARMANI’S business philosophy is proving to farmers a easier way of doing business — simply said — Working harder to provide customers with a better product at a better price. METAL QUALITY From Bolts to the galvanizing of steel — It is extremely important to use the best quality that is why unlike other grain bin companies, Darmani chooses to use Canadian mills whom is proven to supply a consistent product. PART INVENTORY AND STOCK Manufacturing the entire bin package from start to finish allows DARMANI customers and set up crews the ability to have product.

Open Mind Developments of Saskatoon has used $33,000 in federal funding to create eco-friendly bio-composite products using flax fibre. The company created a formula using flax straw to develop a smart phone case through an injection moulding process. The project will allow farmers to earn extra income from waste flax straw and could create additional processing and manufacturing jobs. “Flax fibre is strong, lightweight and has natural shock absorbing properties,” said Open Mind president Jeremy Lang. “The properties that make it difficult to handle and manage in the field are the same properties that make it a good additive to strengthen plastic products.” SASK. WINERIES WIN

Million Kilometre Man
You could call Alex Wasylynuik the Million Kilometre Man. He’s not rich in cash. He’s rich in kilometres! Alex just raded in his 2006 one ton 3500 Mega Cab 4x4 Dodge Dually with 1,002,020 kilometres on it. His 2003 Dodge 3500 had around 900,000 kms and Alex says if he hadn’t found someone to buy it, he would kept it until he reached a million just to say he did! “This time I said... I’m putting a million on it no matter what. Just to do a million,” he laughs. “How many people put a million on a pick-up truck?” Alex pulls RV trailers all over North American and also runs his own migratory bird outfitting business. he says “that truck has seen a lot of places. you name it in the U.S. and Canada, it’s seen it.” “Regular maintenance pays off,” he chuckles. Alex’s key to
attaining over 1 million kms is a Dodge Cummins and regular maintenance which included 85 oil changes in his truck; he changed his tires roughly every 160,000 kilometres, so about six times; he changed two front wheel bearings and eight or nine u-joints. Alex stated “I have never changed an injector on the engine and as a matter a fact I have never had to change the front brakes only the rear. I changed the different oils and transmission oil and filter every 100,000 kms. Regular maintenance is important.” He ran 1.020 litres of engine oil through it and used 143 fuel filters and 43,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Running like a top, the million kilometre truck still has the original Cummins engine and Alex says “it looks just like new”. Alex hopes his new 2012 Ram 3500 Mega Cab with the New 800 ft. lb. torque Cummins engine, which he’ll pick up later this wweek, will have just as many adventures and kilometres!

COMMUNICATION | TELEMATICS
Producers know who’s where, when Telematics integrates GPS with wireless technology BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
Telematics is a 10-cent word for what some farmers are already doing, but a farm business expert says its greater potential has yet to be realized. Jay Breggencate, managing partner with Farmer’s Edge in Alberta and Saskatchewan, defined telematics as the technology of sending, receiving and storing information via telecommunications devices to affect things happening remotely. Monitoring tractor activity from an office computer or tracking goods from field to customer using GPS and cellphones are examples of telematics at work. And it’s the coming thing, Breggencate said. “I think telematics is the next rapid growth technology adoption that I believe most of us in this room are going to be using to some degree in the next few years,” he told a Dec. 7 Farming Smarter conference. He said agriculture is all about mobility, which means telematics has potential for efficient monitoring of field equipment and more accurate management of product, particularly in large operations with multiple equipment units. Common examples of telematics include fleet management of trans-
port trucks and the General Motors On-Star technology. Essentially, it integrates global positioning equipment with wireless technology. Breggencate said most farm equipment manufacturers are including telematics in their machinery. Basic agricultural uses now include operations and reporting, machinery health and tracking, agronomy, data management, real time reporting and guidance. Operations and reporting Breggencate said telematics can allow farm managers to track the progress of a piece of machinery from anywhere in the world using a smart phone or computer. The technology is becoming common in Ukraine and Russia, where large farms use many pieces of equipment. Through telematics, managers can monitor work and receive alerts if a unit has stopped for more than a specified amount of time. Geofencing falls into the operations category. A “virtual fence” can be created around the farm or field and an alert is sent when equipment leaves the perimeter. Machinery health Telematics can allow machinery

Fendt is at the forefront of using telematics for tractor guidance. It has developed a system where one tractor is manned and the other is guided using telematics. | FILE PHOTO technicians to diagnose problems from another location, without needing to go to the field or have the unit brought to the shop. Breggencate said John Deere leads the pack with JD Link. For example, equipment can automatically send an alert to the dealership if an air filter is clogged or an oil change is overdue. “Let’s face it, we’re investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in these pieces of equipment. Getting good maintenance and keeping them in shape is a good idea in most cases to protect that investment.” Agronomy Telematics can be used in field scouting by using georeference points where weeds, disease or insects have been noticed. Photos of the trouble spots can be tied to a specific point on the field
map and transmitted in real time to farm managers. Appropriate action can then be planned and taken. Data management Through telematics, large amounts of data can be sent to a home computer without using memory sticks or personal data entry. Data can include activities of each machine, seeding, spraying and yield information. It can then be stored for later use. “I think this is going to be the real mother lode as far as data management and how we handle data on the farm,” said Breggencate. Real time reporting Breggencate told the conference about a system that enables farm managers to track crops and inventories from the field to their final desti-
nation. The web-based system can capture harvest data that can be viewed on cellphones, tablets and laptops. It allows monitoring of operations from anywhere using a cellphone. A system of “electronic tickets” notes each step in the process for later use. Guidance He said the Fendt driverless tractor is an example of successful guidance telematics. One tractor is manned and a second follows the first via remote control made possible with telematics. Breggencate said this could be part of the answer to chronic labour shortages on the farm. He said potential concerns include compatibility of equipment from different manufacturers and protection of data.

Albertans are invited to keep those cards and letters coming so that the government knows where they stand on property rights. The government does not want the concept of land use planning to fail, said agriculture minister Evan Berger, who is vice-chair of a task force that will travel the countryside to hear what changes are required to the province’s land stewardship act. “Over the next month and a half, the task force will be talking with you and other stakeholders throughout the province and get people involved,” he told the Alberta Beef Producers annual meeting in Calgary Dec. 5-7. ABP wants to see what is offered on bills governing land stewardship transmission lines, land expropriation and carbon capture. The political tone has changed, but there are no guarantees the requested changes will occur, said Greg Bowie, chair of ABP’s land use subcommittee. “ T h e c o nv e r s a t i o n h a s b e e n opened and I think we need to follow the process.” He said beef producers want assur-

ances of compensation, consultation and access to the courts when land decisions are made about private property. “They are all very important to the people we represent,” said Bowie. “There is a whole lot of land in Alberta that is owned by guys who raise cows. People are very concerned that they will lose some of their ability to manage their land in the way they want to manage it.” A local advisory committee has already completed a plan for the Lower Athabasca region, which may have to be altered if the act is changed.

Favourable commodity prices might tempt producers to work more canola into their crop rotations, but good prices haven’t changed the science. Crop rotations are still a good idea, Agriculture Canada researcher Neil Harker reminded producers at a canola industry meeting in Saskatoon Dec. 7. “For us, it’s easy to say. For them it’s harder to do economically,” said Harker, who acknowledged it’s a difficult decision for producers looking to recover from bad years. Demand for canola is growing, with biodiesel feedstock among the factors driving the demand. Harker said canola production in Canada averages 13 million tonnes per year, while demand is expected to increase to 15 million tonnes by 2015. “We could’ve done better than that this year had the year been better in some places in terms of excess moisture and late seeding.” He said producers are shortening their rotations to meet the growing demand, but that increases the risk of disease, weed and insect pressures. He conceded that a one-in-four rotation isn’t realistic, recommend-

Research shows that canola yields are generally lower when there’s no break in the rotation. Rotations also bring herbicide and disease resistance benefits. “Crop rotation enables herbicide rotation,” said Sean Dilk of Monsanto. The company recommends the use of 2,4-D or Heat as a pre-seed or preemerge tank mix during non-canola phases, which helps control the

spread of volunteer glyphosate-tolerant canola. Adding a wheat, barley or pea crop can also help reduce root maggot pressures because when canola is more common, so too are the pests. Managing root maggots biologically also means less pesticides, he added. As well, pulse crops can offer diversity while helping producers reduce nitrogen costs, although Harker said these savings wouldn’t cover the revenue returns from another canola crop. “Financially, if you look at nothing else, continuous canola looks pretty good,” he said. access=subscriber section=news,crops,none

ALBERTA POWER | TRANSMISSION ROUTE
Farmers fear impact of power line through fields Compensation called inadequate | Line will affect valuable farmland BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
COALDALE, Alta. — There are people and companies that like the idea of a new electrical line running from Picture Butte to Etzikom Coulee to Whitla in southern Alberta. Few of them are farmers. The proposed line is part of the Southern Alberta Transmission Project approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) in 2009 to connect wind farms to the electrical grid. AltaLink is in charge of recommending a route and building the line. “We’d rather not have the power line go across our land, of course. Nobody wants it,” said Harold Perry, who farms with his brother and father near Chin, Alta., along the proposed route for the line. “We will be compensated for everything, but at the same time, it wasn’t for sale. My land wasn’t for sale. The operation was going well. I was making money at what I was doing and now I’ll have these huge eyesores running through the property.” Irrigation systems are also likely to be affected, he said. John Dagnone, who along with two partners farms 6,000 dryland acres near Wrentham and Skiff, isn’t excited about the idea either. His land will be affected whether the AUC approves the preferred route or the alternate. “It concerns me just the way it’s going to change our farming practices,” Dagnone said Dec. 6 at an AltaLink open house. “Say it goes through the middle (of the property). So rather than farming a mile and a half strip, you’re going to be farming a mile strip and a half mile strip. Kind of makes it difficult for aerial spraying. Your whole operation is going to change.” The proposed 240 kV line is split into two parts. The Picture Butte to Etzikom Coulee segment will be 66 to 80 kilometres long, depending on the route selected, at an estimated cost of $160 to $250 million.

HAROLD PERRY CHIN, ALTA., FARMER
The Etzikom Coulee to Whitla stretch will be 87 to 90 km with the cost estimated at $135 to $205 million. The power line will run across some of the most valuable farmland in the province, much of it irrigated. In this area a quarter section of land can sell for up to $1 million. AltaLink started mapping out proposed routes last year. Open houses held earlier this month marked the second stage of consultation. Mark Johns, AltaLink spokesperson for the project, said the company makes an effort to minimize the line’s impact. Considerations include agricultural, residential and environmental impacts, as well as cost, visual impact, reliability and serviceability of the line and other considerations that arise.
“In our view, we picked right now what we believe is the preferred route,” said Johns. The AUC makes the final decision, but AltaLink will consult with affected landowners before that happens. “We are very proactive about meeting with every landowner on whose land we potentially have facilities,” he said. “We’ll be consulting with every one of them to make sure we understand what their concerns are.” Much of the preferred route follows quarter section lines in efforts to minimize impact and maintain distance from homes and farm buildings, Johns said. Parts also run parallel to railways and highways, although in many cases there are existing rights of way that force the power line route further onto private land. That would be the case if part of the line were to parallel the controversial Montana Alberta Tie Line that has been subject to legal challenge and was bought by Enbridge from former owner Tonbridge earlier this year. The Picture Butte to Etzikom coulee

stretch is likely to cross Stafford Reservoir, east of Coaldale, but an initial plan to cross on an existing dam was altered to accommodate concerns about pelican feeding areas. Electrical lines throughout the project will be held by steel lattice structures 44 to 60 metres high, each with a base of 10 by 10 metres, and the line will have a 60 metre right of way. A landowner compensation package has been outlined, though it is subject to AUC approval. It includes a $10,000 early access and routing consent payment, a $250 to $5,000 per title entry fee payment, a $1,500 minimum general disturbance payment, a $2,500 land damages payment with more paid after construction if applicable, and fair market value for land included in the easement.
Landowners will be paid $1,178 per steel lattice structure annually if it’s on cultivated land and $471 per structure annually if it’s on uncultivated land. The proposed payments don’t impress everyone. “I don’t think its adequate when you compare it to what the oil and gas industry is paying,” said Dagnone. “It’s not comparable. But it’s my understanding that it will go through whether we want it to or not. That just seems to be the way the government works.” Shawn Roth, communications adviser with AltaLink, said irrigation and aerial spraying issues were new to the AltaLink process and the company has enlisted experts to assess them. “Those are two big things and we heard those loud and clear. It took awhile, but we think that these two preferred and alternate routes are the best to have the lowest overall impact.” AltaLink expects to complete its consultation and submit its preferred and alternate routes to the AUC in winter 2012. If approved, construction will begin in fall 2013.

Strict safety rules threaten food sovereignty: food advocate access=subscriber section=news,none,none
BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
LONDON — A government obsession with one-size-fits-all food safety rules could kill local abattoirs within years and deny consumers a local meat alternative, says a former abattoir owner and local food advocate. Freeman Boyd, co-ordinator of a local food project in southern Ontario, ran a small abattoir near Owen Sound, Ont., for 24 years. He told the annual National Farmers Union conference Nov. 24 that local abattoirs connected to local consumers are being driven out of business by unnecessary food safety rules.
“I really think we need to change the conversation on food safety,” he said during a panel discussion. “We must not allow regulators to use the food safety issue as a trump card to close us down.” He said a better way would be to convince provincial and federal regulators that smaller plants should have an exemption from generally applied rules as long as consumers agree to the deal. “These would be based on face-toface contact between the retailer and the consumer,” Boyd said. “I think exemptions are the best opportunity to see our small abattoirs survive.” In a later interview, Boyd said small
local abattoirs cannot afford to meet the standards of practice and inspection set for larger provincially and federally inspected plants. It is not an issue of food safety but of costly and unnecessary regulations, he said. However, he also conceded that convincing governments to exempt small abattoirs would be a tough sell. Owners of larger plants would complain about the unfairness of tiered rules. “The bureaucrats and regulators don’t like the idea,” he said. “They insist that this is a black and white issue, but I don’t see it that way. Food safety doesn’t have to have a ‘big’ bias built into it. They like to use
food safety as a trump card that stops conversations when they want to say something like this can’t be done.” In response to an audience question, Boyd agreed that one way to deal with it could be to have consumers who want to buy from a local abattoir sign a waiver indicating they have inspected the plant, consider it safe and want to buy its products. He said 144 abattoirs are licensed by the provincial government in Ontario, most of them small. It is half the number that existed several decades ago. “Part of the decline has been because of declining demand and as the plants age, it isn’t worth investing
more,” he said. “But a big part of it is the cost of regulation. If we keep going down this path, I can see the small abattoir disappearing in a decade or so.” For Boyd, it would be a disaster for consumers to become more dependent on large meat processors even as the local food movement is growing. “It would mean more distance between the consumer and his food, the health issues that come from eating a steady diet of processed food and the bias that big plants and their systems have toward bigger producers,” he said. “I think that would be another step toward losing our food sovereignty.”

Heifers soak up the warm sunshine on a mild winter day at the Watkins Rock Solid Ranch near Aylesbury, Sask. While this ranch produces conventionally raised animals, some ranches are trying to find new markets by raising cattle without hormones or antibiotics. | MICKEY WATKINS PHOTO MARKETS | NATURAL CATTLE
Naturally raised cattle find good markets Cites strong domestic demand | Canadians less enthusiastic, saying domestic demand weak and European market uncertain BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU
WINNIPEG — Jerry Wulf ’s business philosophy is simple: if someone wants a particular product, he finds a way to supply it. T h a t e x p l a i n s w h y Wu l f h a s increased the number of naturally raised cattle on his ranch over the last several years. Naturally raised cattle aren’t treated with growth hormones or antibiotics. “It’s not niche (market) for us anymore. I would prefer to call it value added,” said Wulf, who owns and operates Wulf Limousin Farms and Wulf Cattle Company with his three brothers in Morris, Minnesota. “Right now, that’s what the market is telling us. It’s (more profitable) to raise more of those cattle.” Wulf told the Manitoba Grazing School in Winnipeg in early December that Wulf Cattle Company markets more than 22,000 head of fed cattle annually. The Wulfs used to sell most of their beef to Tyson Foods, which wound up in the “commodity” protein market. However, in recent years they have fed more cattle without growth hormones to capture the higher
prices in that market. Nonetheless, Wulf said feeding more animals in the natural way wasn’t a strategic decision to corner an emerging market. Instead, they were simply responding to market demand. “We don’t make a decision to push more towards that market. It gets back to listening to our customers,” he said. “If (packers are) telling us to produce more natural beef and they’re willing to pay for it, we’ll be there producing it.” A substantial portion of Wulf’s nonhormone treated beef is sold to Europe. The European Union, the United States and Canada have been locked in a bitter trade war over beef for more than two decades after Europe banned imports of beef raised with growth hormones in 1989. Lengthy trade negotiations eventually saw the Europeans expand their import quota for non-hormone treated cattle, which has allowed producers such as Wulf to sell beef into that market. After feeding thousands of cattle in their feed yard, Wulf and his brothers determined it takes about one extra

22,000 HEAD A YEAR, MANY OF THEM RAISED WITHOUT GROWTH HORMONES pound of feed to get the same pound of weight gain without hormones. “I said a pound, but what I probably should have said is that you’re looking at 12 to 15 cents a lb. extra cost of gain in the feed yard by feeding them natural,” Wulf said. Price premiums more than cover the additional feeding costs, he added. Wulf disagreed with an assessment of the non-hormone treated cattle market made earlier by Canadian Cattlemen’s Association past-president Brad Wildeman. “He didn’t seem too big on being able to capture that NHTC premium
here in the centre of the continent,” Wulf said. “That’s not true for us. We’re one of the larger feeders of (non-hormone) European Union-destined cattle in the country.” John Masswohl, the CCA’s director of government and international relations, said there is an opportunity for Canadian producers to sell nonhormone beef to Europe, but two things have to happen to convert it into a substantial opportunity for Canadian beef producers: Canada has to modernize its protocols around non-hormone treated beef to make it more efficient for producers, and Canada and the EU need to sign a free trade deal. He said Canadians compete with producers from the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay to fill a 21,500 tonne European import quota at zero percent duty for non-hormone treated beef. “That 21,500 tonnes is going to increase to 48,000 tonnes and change. That will probably happen sometimes next spring, if all goes well,” he said. “So you can see there’s a growing amount of availability…. So that may encourage some additional produc-
ers to get into this.” However, he said Canadian beef producers need unfettered access to the EU market to make it a sizable and legitimate business opportunity. “We have set it as a very high priority in the negotiations going on between Canada and Europe, to get unlimited duty free access. So, no quota,” he said. “Once (Canadian) producers start to be confident that the market is there, they will start to raise those cattle without using the growth hormones.” Masswohl has faith in the potential of the European market, but he is skeptical about consumer demand for natural beef in North America. There may be a tiny portion of the population that wants beef produced without growth hormones or antibiotics, but he said it will never be a sizable chunk of the protein marketplace. “I would say something like one percent of the population is going to pay extra for that. It kind of has a bit of a snob appeal,” he said. “The vast, overwhelming majority of consumers are just trying to feed their families. They’re looking for the lowest cost protein at the grocery stores.”

CANADA BEEF INC. | NEW STRATEGY
New beef leader details get-tough approach Beef promotion focus | Strategy to target ‘valuable’ market access without concessions or product discounts BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
The new president of Canada Beef Inc. has delivered a blunt message about how the new organization plans to promote and market Canadian beef. “If people and companies don’t share our mandate, our vision and our goals and priorities, we will choose not to do business with them,” Rob Meijer told the Alberta Beef Producers annual meeting held Dec. 5-7 in Calgary.
“If they do not return on investment to this organization and you as producers, we will not spend a penny. It is going to get political and we are going to have to turn down some people that weren’t turned down before.” The new company is a consolidation of the Beef Information Centre and the Canada Beef Export Federation with funding from the national checkoff agency.

beef to make a comeback on the global stage. It is not a lobby or policy group. Meijer said there have been good programs and partnerships in the past, but Canada needs to rebuild its image as a clean, safe place with abundant water and open environment. Canada’s trade missions must now be focused on beef promotion rather than hospitality. “They don’t necessarily need to see the mountains,” Meijer said. “They need to see the industry. If they want to come here to see Banff, I’m not bringing them here.” Canada Beef will launch its new strategic direction Jan. 1. The 15 month strategy includes targeted promotions, marketing and education for consumers, retailers, food service, wholesale distributors and importers. “We have not consistently created commitment to Canadian beef,” he said. “There are many markets out there in the world that will switch out Canadian beef for U.S. or Australian, whether it be price or any other perceived attribute, in a heartbeat.” Time cannot be wasted on discussions, consulting and meetings hoping to gain access, he added. “If the Americans want to do something, they’ll do it. If they want to create a program, they’ll do it. If we sit around, they will do it better and sign deals and we will get nothing.” Meijer said customers must be in markets that provide the greatest value for high quality grain fed beef and veal. Few are committed to it. Costco sells exclusively Canada AAA beef, but it has said demand is increasing and it cannot always fill

the orders. Meijer does not want the company to import from the United States. He said Canadian beef must be seen as a valuable product rather than one available at a discount. “I don’t want somebody in a foreign market like Japan saying I can’t get enough supply from the U.S., so give me Canadian, but at what price discount do I get it.” There are also back door deals that don’t recognize the Canadian brand or pay a premium. For example, Canada ships beef to Hong Kong and Macau, which are back doors into China. It is not known as Canadian product and is probably sold at a discounted price. “It happens every day. Every day we get discounted in some way,” Meijer said. South Korea has been off limits to Canadian beef for eight years and must be treated like a new market if it ever returns. However, Canada may be shut out because the U.S. achieved a free trade agreement with Korea earlier this fall. If that is the case, Meijer said, perhaps other markets, such as Russia, need to be pursued with more fervour. However, as a small organization with limited funds, Canada Beef will not get into a market promotion spending spree to compete with the
Americans and Australians. “Meat and Livestock Australia are everywhere. They don’t have to do anything,” he said. Consumers in Asia know the quality is different but the Canadian product is not available or it is more expensive. It has to be different to justify the higher price. Canada used to promote its traceability system as a marketing advantage, but Meijer said it should not be emphasized. Canada has regained markets around the world since BSE shut borders in 2003, but Meijer questioned whether they all provide value. “Market access is important and I would continue to support what the government is doing in market access,” he said in a later interview. “What I am saying is as an industry, we need to make better decisions communicating to the government what is valuable or not.” He said certain policy decisions should not have been made just to get access. Countries were allowed to evaluate individual plants and then would certify only a few as acceptable exporters. Approval of Canada’s entire system should have been demanded so all plants would be acceptable. He said Canada was too conciliatory and should have said all or nothing rather than allow separate approvals for individual plants. As well, Canada should never have accepted the younger than 21 months rule for Japan because surrounding nations question why they should accept beef from cattle younger than 30 months. “We are trying to be too many things to many people rather than just saying we are not going to do that,” he said.

Canada’s cattle feeding industry is recommending that governments drop the AgriInvest program in the next batch of farm programs and spend the money in more helpful ways. AgriInvest, a farmer and government-funded program to cover the first 15 percent of income loss, is a key component of the Growing Forward framework of farm business risk management programs. It was an attempt to recreate the popular Net Income Stabilization Account program phased out almost a decade ago. But during Parliament Hill hearings Dec. 8 on what the next Growing Forward programs should look like, National Cattle Feeder Association officials said the program does not work efficiently. The $22,500 maximum that farm enterprises can draw from the program in a year makes it almost useless for larger operations such as cattle feedlots, said Russ Evans, poli-
cy and research manager for the NCFA. “What we see is farms getting bigger,” he told MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee. “Generally the whole small farm existence is diminishing. Rather than spreading out that little bit of dollars, which (for) most real farm operations that are producing the bulk of our food is really insignificant, (it) would be better spent investing in something that would create their markets better.” Evans said the money could be better spent helping develop the export markets and trading infrastructure needed by the cattle and feeder industries. The issue of payment caps within agriculture support programs was also on the mind of the Canadian Pork Council. Vice-chair Jean-Guy Vincent said the industry is evolving toward larger operations, but maximum program support is not changing to reflect the new industry. Associate executive director Catherine Scovil said the level of payment
caps penalizes some producers who are reacting to market trends. “If you’re a certain size, you’re actually penalized because you’re too big for the programs,” she said. “Our philosophy has always been that farmers should be treated equally regardless of their location or size.” The main resistance against raising program payment maximums has come from the National Farmers Union, which argues higher caps will bias program support to larger agribusiness enterprises and against smaller family farms. Meanwhile, Conservative MP Ben Lobb from Ontario said the cattle industry is expected to begin repaying program advances next year that were issued during a prolonged price downturn several years ago. Is the industry ready to meet the repayment deadline? he wondered. “Speaking on behalf of my clients, they would like it to be an indefinite forgivable loan,” replied Calgary accountant Terri Holowath, whose business clients include many cattle feeders. access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

NUTRITION | ORANGE PEELS
Orange peel, pulp a zesty cattle supplement Citrus waste a common feed in southern U.S. | Pellets would increase availability but don’t work as well as fresh fruit BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
A Texas researcher has an “a-peeling” addition to microbial use in cattle and is pursuing it with zest. Todd Callaway, a microbiologist with the Agricultural Research Service, found that orange peels and pulp fed to cattle can reduce E. coli, salmonella and other harmful bacteria in the gut. That means a lower risk of harmful bacteria contaminating meat during and after slaughter. Cattle producers in Florida and
California have fed orange peels to cattle for years, but peel and pulp aren’t readily available in Canada. Callaway is now working on a pelleted form that captures the essential oils in citrus peel. A powdered top dressing is another focus of his research. In those forms, it might be economically feasible to ship product and make it available to Canadian cattle producers. “It doesn’t seem that the dry product works quite as well as the fresh peel,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is get the
active ingredient now, the essential oils, and I think that’s something that can be shipped up there.” He and other researchers have investigated the microbial value of citrus peel as cattle feed for several years and have found it reduces harmful bacteria in the animal’s gut without harming normal gastrointestinal bacteria needed for digestion. It also provides roughage and vitamins. As a feed additive, citrus peel in some form could be another tool to use in reducing antibiotic use in food animals. “It’s not the silver bullet, unfortu-
nately, that we would love to be able to say, ‘hey we’ve solved the problem,’ but it’s an excellent tool that we can use today in the industry,” Callaway said. His research has found that raw orange peel has the best antimicrobial effect, but it is difficult to transport and feed from a logistical standpoint. Pellets aren’t necessarily the answer, either. “As you dry them down and pelletize them, the effect goes away somewhat. Maybe half the effect goes away. The fresh peel seems to be the way to go, if you can.”
Palatability isn’t an issue. Callaway tested rations of 10 percent and 20 percent on sheep. “They like it up to a certain point,” he said. “They ate just fine for about two days and then the 20 percent group decided they really didn’t like orange peel anymore and they cut back what they were eating.” He concluded that animals will likely eat a 10 percent ration consistently, which reduces E. coli and salmonella levels in the gut by about 10-fold. Citrus companies are showing interest in his research, he said.

BULLS | CONDITIONING
Good nutrition boosts performance, increases profits from breeding bulls BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
It may seem obvious, but it’s a message that’s worth repeating: close monitoring of bulls can help cattle producers maximize profits. Producers were reminded of the steps to ensure proper nutrition and limit the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in their animals at a session on bull nutrition, fertility and herd management hosted by the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan on Dec. 7 ahead of the organization’s annual conference in Saskatoon. Managing these factors can minimize reproductive failures, the primary reason for culling an animal. “There’s as many ways to feed and develop young bulls as there are producers,” Bart Lardner, a senior research scientist at the Western Beef Development Centre, told the group. When it comes to raising healthy and fertile bulls, nutrition is paramount, he said. Whether it’s a yearling or a mature bull, producers should watch what they’re putting in front of the animal. While the quantity of hay and forages may be there, the quality could be lacking, he explained. A nutrientdeficient diet will result in a bull losing condition and performing poorly during the breeding season.
“Don’t be afraid to work with a nutritionist to ensure that you’ve feed tested all of your sources and built a program that’s going to work for you,” said Lardner. It’s an added expense, but a worthwhile investment, he said. By carefully managing nutrient, energy and mineral intake, producers can achieve optimal performances from their animals. Water, said Lardner, is an overlooked nutrient. Depending on the source, there can be concerns from sulfates and salt. Producers should have their water tested. Likewise, vitamins, including E and D, can be overlooked. “Where do they come from? Green leafy materials,” said Lardner. “Do we find green, leafy materials in a winter feeding program? No, not generally, so probably a booster shot in that fall time period going into that winter feeding program is essential.” For the first year of their lives after weaning, bulls are usually fed to gain upward of three pounds every day. At the start of the first breeding season, bulls should have a body conditioning score of 3.5, he said (with one being emaciated and five obese). Lardner also warned of over conditioning bulls, which can decrease activity during the breeding season. “They just can’t take it in those hot months of the summer,” said Lardner.
“They’ll have to lose a little bit of that condition until they get to a situation where they’re able to perform and by then most of the breeding season is done.” Bulls should weigh 75 to 80 percent of their mature body weight at the start of the second breeding season. “Don’t wait until it’s too late,” said Lardner. “Look at their condition coming into the fall off that first breeding season and probably start to provide some supplementation program over that second winter.” Sexually transmitted diseases can impede growth and affect a producer’s bottom line, said Cheryl Waldner, a professor at Saskatoon’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine. She highlighted bovine viral diarrhea virus, trichomoniasis and vibrio as diseases producers should watch for. BVDV is present in as many as nine percent of herds in Saskatchewan and Alberta, she said. Whether an animal is persistently or acutely infected, it can pass BVDV on while breeding “The problem with this particular virus is sometimes it’ll go hide in the testicles,” she explained. “And then it can go share and care with the cows when he’s out in the pasture.” Waldner said producers should have a control and biosecurity plan to prevent the entry and spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

EQUINE | HERPES
EHM most serious of herpes viruses ANIMAL HEALTH
JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM
N
inety horses in 10 states and 15 in Alberta were infected with equine herpes virus-1 this spring following an outbreak at a cutting horse show in Ogden, Utah. The herpes virus family causes disease in a large number of animal species, including humans, but most herpes viruses infect only one species. For example, people cannot become infected with equine herpes viruses. EHV-1, one type of equine herpes virus, can cause several diseases in horses ranging from minor cold-like signs to abortion or early death in foals. The most devastating and economically important is the neurological form, called equine herpes myeloencephalopathy (EHM). Most horses will become infected with equine herpes virus as foals. After an upper respiratory infection characterized by fever and nasal discharge, the virus goes into hiding, only to reassert itself during times when the horse is stressed, such as weaning, hauling, mixing groups of horses and being infected with other pathogens. This is a similar mechanism to people infected with herpes simplex virus who develop cold sores shortly after stressful events such as final exams at school. This virus is shed in respiratory secretions and initially infects the cells of the upper respiratory system, which results in the typical snotty nose and fever. From there, white blood cells spread the virus to other tissues in the body, including the cells that line blood vessels in the spinal cord. Inflammation, blood clots and hemorrhage can occur as these virusinfected blood vessels are damaged. The combination of decreased blood supply, which diminishes oxygen delivery and waste removal from the tissue, and the swelling that accompanies inflammation and hemorrhage, damages the spinal cord. The spinal cord has limited capacity to heal and regenerate, unlike tissues such as the skin. As a result, it resides in a tight, bony column created by the vertebrae. Unfortunately, in cases of EHM, the body column provides limited room for swelling, contributing to compression of cord and cell death. When this occurs, the brain can no longer sense or communicate with the feet and the horse loses the ability to stand. The most common clinical signs of EHM are staggering gait, weakness and urine dribbling followed by collapse. Why do only 10 percent of horses develop EHM? The most current theory is that some strains of the virus create a greater amount of virus in the blood than others. The more the virus replicates and reproduces, the more likely it is to infect the spinal access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none
cord blood vessels. As well, some horses seem more susceptible than others. However, this explanation is likely oversimplified and further research needs to be done. An interesting observation is that older horses are more likely to develop EHM rather than just the simpler upper respiratory infection. Older horses’ immune systems respond slightly differently to the virus than younger horses. Horses that carry and shed the virus without signs of illness are strongly suspected to be critical in spreading the virus. Risk factors for EHM have been evaluated:
• Summer is the least common season for EHM. • Although horses of all ages can get EHM, it seems to be most common in horses older than five, while the respiratory infection is most common in horses younger than two. • Fevers that tend to reoccur after initial infection with EHV-1 are related to more cases of EHM. • Mares and larger breeds are more often affected. My next column will discuss testing, treatment options, vaccination and how to prevent infection. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarian practising at Crossfield, Alta.

Producers able to follow food chain with new livestock data program Information sharing | Packers, feedlot operations, producers and consumers online BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
Canadian cattle producers may gain market intelligence they have not previously enjoyed if the newly launched Beef InfoXchange System does its job. BIXS, at bixs.cattle.ca, is an individual animal and carcass data information system developed by the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association to improve the flow of information
among cow-calf producers, feedlots, processors, restaurants and value chains. It was launched this fall. Producers attach information to a unique animal identification number housed in an electronic ear tag. The information is kept private in the BIXS controlled database. “There was a thought we could use this tag for something good,” said BIXS co-ordinator Larry Thomas, who started working on the program access=subscriber section=livestock,none,none

three years ago. “The tool is in the ears of these cows to move information around.” Thomas said no other business allows producers to remain in the dark about what happened to their product, as well as its quality and consumer acceptance. Focus groups with cow-calf and seedstock producers, feedlots and processors were held to let BIXS designers know what users need from such a system. It was agreed the program had to be voluntary, confidential and easy to use. Producers who add their cattle to the online database need to provide the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency ear tag number, birth date or month when the calf was born and the producer’s account number to validate the information. They also need to say whether they participate in the on-farm food safety program known as verified beef production. “There is a feeling one of the first end market draws will be for products sourced from an on-farm food safety chain,” he said. The program will also handle age verification. As well, room is available for optional information on vaccination programs, which products were used, weaning weights, castration and how it was done. Animal health records can be added, which could be shared with producers to see how their animals performed at the feedlot. Packers could return details on carcass grades and yields as the system expands. Many producers keep extensive records, but the key to completing the information circle was learning how they did at the time of slaughter. “It is one thing to get the information back, it is another thing to make sure you are moving correctly on the information,” he said. Thomas said participants indicate how much information they want to share, but BIXS may not be for producers who aren’t interested in sharing information. There is no guarantee participants will make more money, but the program could match cow-calf operations to a feedlot, restaurant or processor looking for specific types of animals. A buyer can list certain requirements and send a query to BIXS. The manager of the data scans the database and informs a producer that he matches the criteria for a certain buyer. “The person who launches the query is never informed of the results of that query,” Thomas said. “The consent solely rests on the producer.” Producers may work with others to enroll cattle in BIXS and interpret the information so that strategic decisions can be made. The first year of information is not enough to make changes, but several years of data can build trends. To get started, click on the BIXS login and registration box on the main page. Producers will also find a registration guide, which provides instructions.

Less severe than in 1980s | Two U.S. economists don’t expect land values to crash anytime soon

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM
CHICAGO — Pundits say the United States is experiencing another farmland bubble, but two agricultural economists say if it bursts, it won’t be anything like the one in the 1980s. Average Iowa farmland values are estimated at $6,708 per acre this year, according to a survey conducted by Iowa State University. It’s an increase of 32.5 percent from 2010. It is also the highest percentage increase recorded by the survey and the highest inflation-adjusted average land value since 1979, which was at the tail end of a 10-year run-up in farmland prices preceding the crash of 1981. “This rate of increase has led to concerns that farmland may be the next speculative bubble. Some people feel farmers are setting themselves up for a fall similar to the 1980s,” said Mike Duffy, the economist who conducted the survey. But two Kansas State University agricultural economists recently told DTN’s Ag Summit that they don’t share those concerns. “We can’t say that something can’t go wrong, but it’s not going to look like the 1980s. There are too many things that are different,” said Terry Kastens, professor emeritus of agricultural economics at KSU. The inflation rate in the 2000s was one-third of what it was in the 1970s, interest rates are much lower and returns on farmland are one-half. Kevin Dhuyvetter, extension agricultural economist at KSU, said today’s farmers are not as debt-laden as they were in the 1970s, many have locked in interest rates and there is growing world demand for the products they produce. Strong demand from the ethanol sector and international customers has pushed Iowa corn prices to $6 per bushel, which is triple what they were in 2005. Soybean prices have risen to $11.40 from $5.54 over the same period. Farmers are leery about expanding their operations when land values are at historic highs, despite the strong fundamentals for agricultural commodities. They need some way to predict

where farmland prices are heading. Kastens said there is a 95 percent correlation between farmland values and corn revenue, but predicting where corn prices are going is no easier than guessing the trajectory of land values. Dhuyvetter said the ratio of rent-toland value used to be the best predictor of what was to come. When the ratio fell below six percent, it was a good indicator that land was overpriced and could be on the way down. For instance, land prices crashed when the ratio dropped below five percent in Iowa in the early 1980s. The ratio bounced back to 10 percent as prices plummeted. However, the ratio hasn’t been as

The comforting thing about investing in farmland is that the price volatility has been minimal compared to the stock market. However, farmers have legitimate concerns about being caught on the wrong side of the market. Dhuyvetter said they can minimize those concerns by not using much debt to finance the purchase and by not overpaying for the land. Kastens said paying too much for land is a worse sin than over-leveraging the purchase, but farmers have a track record of doing just that. They get caught up in the emotion of bidding, overvalue certain aspects such as proximity or become tired of missed opportunities or of looking for too long.

Cargill warns against premature marketing of genetically modified seeds CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Distributing biotech seeds to American farmers before they are approved in major grain export markets is not good for U.S. agriculture, an executive with Cargill Inc. said. “We do not support the commercial-
ization of (genetically modified) traits ahead of major market approvals,” Randal Giroux, vice-president of food safety for Cargill, told members of the National Grain and Feed Association. “We have to recognize that when those major markets have not approved
it, the threshold is zero,” he said. “We have to make sure that we are seen as a credible and consistent supplier of agricultural products.” Early commercialization of biotech seeds, when acceptance of the grain has not been cleared in markets like
the European Union, for example, has been hotly debated recently when the three top U.S. grain handlers, Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland and Bunge, said they were either restricting or not accepting a biotech corn variety not approved in major
export markets, like the EU or China. The discussions centered on Agrisure Viptera, a biotech corn variety developed for its resistance to insects by Syngenta that was planted in the U. S. t h i s s p r i n g b e f o r e i t w a s approved in major export markets. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

Horizon plans new mill for Guelph BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Horizon Milling G.P. is planning a new flour mill in Guelph, Ont., which it expects to be operating within three years. Horizon, a partnership between Cargill and CHS, produces Robin Hood flour. Cargill was unable to say how much grain the facility would require, but a company official said it hopes to increase Canadian production by up
to 30 percent using grain from both Western and Eastern Canada. The Guelph project is the first mill the company has built in Canada since it bought the grain-based foodservice and industrial business of Smucker Foods in Canada in 2006, which included mills in Saskatoon and Montreal. A third mill in Port Colburne, Ont., was closed in 2008. Horizon got the rights to use the Robin Hood brand in the deal. “We chose to expand in Guelph because it gives us the opportunity to
better serve the greater Toronto area and it has a very convenient access to CP and CN rail,” said Brigitte Burgoyne, Cargill’s communications manager for corporate affairs. Horizon expects to create 15 to 20 jobs, according to a news release. “It’s going to be quite different because we are using a really new, state-of-the-art concept with new technologies,” said Burgoyne. “It will be largely in part an automated process so it will be a one-of-its-kind facility.” access=subscriber section=news,ag_finance,none

Buy land in or out of corporation? FARM ACCOUNTS
ALLYN TASTAD
M
ost farmland is held outside of the company because individually owned farmland is eligible for the capital gains exemption. However, three of my firm’s corporate farmers have moved contrary to the herd in the past month by using their corporations to buy adjoining farmland. The land was considered to have been acquired at a high cost and the parcels were small — two quartersections or less. Let’s assume that a farmer has the means to buy a quarter section for $180,000. He can either buy it personally or within his farming corporation. He pulls a regular salary of $42,000 from his farming corporation, which makes any additional income subject to a 35 percent marginal tax rate. His Saskatchewan corporation pays 13 percent tax on the first $500,000 of taxable income. Let’s also assume that this quarter section will double in value in 20 years. At that time, it will be sold. What’s the upside?
Fewer overall farm dollars are required to pay off the mortgage if the company buys the land. For simplicity, let’s assume that the farmland is 100 percent financed. That means it would require $207,000 of corporate dollars to repay the mortgage in full. However, if the farmer bought the same quarter outside of his company, he would require $277,000 of salaried or rental income to repay the mortgage in full. If the mortgage was to be repaid in 10 years, this farmer would have to pay $7,000 more per year to pay off the land. The $70,000 difference is comprised entirely from the difference in corporate versus individual income tax rates. More dollars are available for debt servicing in a corporation than out. But what are we losing? There will be a capital gain of $180,000 if the farmland value doubles in 20 years to $360,000. Half of this would be taxable using current rates. If the farmer as an individual buys the land he would save $33,986 of personal income taxes by claiming his capital gains exemption. The company would also report a capital gain of $180,000 if it sold the same land for $360,000. Our corporate farmer would pay $18,000 in corporate taxes using current rates, with no refundable tax component. It should also be noted that the funds would be trapped in the com-
pany. More personal income taxes would have to be paid if the net funds were pushed out of the company, which further equalizes our positions. Farmers also prefer to hold land personally because it allows them to take advantage of farm debt legislation that protects individual landowners. The same level of protection is not available to the corporate farmer. In the end, given the option, all three of our corporate farming clients have decided to use their corporations to buy the farmland. They reasoned that having an extra $7,000 annually in their farming operations was more important than saving tax in 20 years. Twenty years is a long time in farming and if the price outlook for farmland remains bullish, it is possible with some accounting magic to get the same tax-free capital gains exemption on corporately owned land. It is a more complicated and costly process and will require the right team of legal and accounting advisers. If you are considering buying farmland at prices you never before imagined, then be sure to consider the corporate option. There is a lot of uncertainty in farming, but having more cash right now is not a bad motivation to consider this option.

POTASH | EXPANSION
Agrium expands Sask. potash production TORONTO (Reuters) — Agrium’s board has approved a long-planned $1.5 billion project to expand potash production capacity by 50 percent, aiming at capitalizing on demand for the crop nutrient. The company said the expansion of its operations at Vanscoy, Sask., will cost less and take less time than building a potash mine from scratch. “Our brownfield potash expansion will ultimately be much quicker to bring on, and significantly less expensive to develop, than any greenfield project that is under consideration,” chief executive officer Mike Wilson said. Agrium, a fertilizer producer as well as the largest farm products retailer in North America, also said it is quad-
rupling its semi-annual dividend to 22.5 cents a share from 5.5 cents a share. “The increase in our dividend is a result of the continued growth in stable earnings from our retail business and the strength in our wholesale earnings profile and outlook,” Wilson said. Analysts were not surprised by Agrium’s expansion announcement, but most cheered the company’s move to raise its dividend payout, noting that it makes Agrium’s dividend yield more competitive with that of its peers. The company said the mine expansion will boost its potash output capacity to three million tonnes a year at a cost of about $1,500 a tonne.
Agrium is the smallest of the three potash producers in Saskatchewan. Its rivals, Potash Corp. and Mosaic, already have expansions underway. The three companies, which market overseas potash sales through a single joint venture, will account for more than 36 million tonnes of annual potash production capacity within the coming decade, which is equal to more than 50 percent of the world’s current production capacity. In addition, German potash miner K+S and global mining giant BHP Billiton are investing billions in Saskatchewan to build potash mines. BHP’s proposed Jansen project is expected to become the world’s largest potash mine if the Anglo-Australian mining giant pushes it through.

RCMP still searching for stolen cattle Officials remind owners to brand and tag animals BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM
Canada may have to bend on dairy protections if Canadian beef and grain are to gain access to European markets, say sources involved in trade negotiations. | FILE PHOTO INTERNATIONAL TRADE | CANADA-EU NEGOTIATIONS
Canada’s dairy protections pose stumbling block in EU trade deal Some say deal is still far off | European dairy farmers want access to Canadian markets BY BARRY WILSON OTTAWA BUREAU
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Entering year three, Canada-European Union free trade talks still face a number of sensitive unresolved issues, many agricultural, which make promises of a 2012 deal far from a sure thing. And while many sectoral interests from both sides of the table are making the talks difficult, European demands that Canada dismantle some of its dairy import protections remain at the heart of the dispute. The European dairy processing industry is telling European Union negotiators that any free trade deal with Canada must include a loosening of import restrictions or it should not be signed. “From the EDA (European Dairy Association) point of view, it would be useless without dairy access,” EDA trade and economic policies director Bénédicte Masure said in an interview last week. Added EDA secretary general Joop Kleibeuker about industry reaction if their demands are not met : “We would have no veto but I have the impression from the commission that for them too, a breakthrough especially on supply management is essential to have a deal.” The processors have support from Europe’s dairy farmers, who have seen their own supply management system weakened and the industry adapt to market conditions.
But I do think they (EU) will have to get some dairy access concession to sell it back home. KATHLEEN SULLIVAN CANADIAN AGRI-FOOD TRADE ALLIANCE
“Farmers, if not aggressively in favour of it, understand the processing industry priorities and agree that more markets for their products mean more sales and prices for us,” European farmer organization COPA secretary general Pekko Pesonen said in a Dec. 14 interview. Sources from both sides of the issue confirm that European negotiators are arguing if Canada’s beef and grain sectors want any EU move on their access demands, Canada will have to bend on dairy. “I just don’t think they are close,” an observer with inside knowledge said last week. Officially, the story from both sides is far more optimistic. Canadian trade minister Ed Fast continues to say the goal is to wrap up a deal in 2012, although it was supposed to have happened in 2011. He says he is confident it can be done with a potential $12 billion boon for the Canadian economy. Canadian agricultural exporters strongly support a deal and hope he is right. “I do think a deal is possible in the
next six months,” said Kathleen Sullivan, executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, who was in Brussels recently. “If it stretches out too long, it gets less likely or less ambitious.” She suggested dairy access is less of a bottom line issue for the EU than stopping food companies including dairy from using European place name brands to identify their products — the geographic indicator issue. “But I do think they will have to get some dairy access concession to sell it back home.” Canadian agriculture negotiator Gilles Gauthier reflects the same optimistic tone. “I think the way we are heading, there is a very good prospect for a full and robust agreement,” he told a recent Canada Grains Council meeting. EU politicians echo the same optimistic tone. But sources familiar with the negotiations suggest a deal anytime soon is far from guaranteed, if not unlikely, and many agricultural issues are among the core potential blockers. Canada’s hope for more meaningful meat and grain access is receiving pushback from the Europeans, although for the first time in a bilateral negotiation, the EU has offered some small access improvements for hormone-free beef as an initial position. But Canada’s open border with the United States and rules of origin for
Canadian beef coming to Europe are problems at the negotiations. “We don’t want to do a deal with Canada that in effect gives preferential access to the U.S.,” a European official is reported to have told Canadians. The EU is insisting that Canada be able to prove beef coming into Europe is largely of Canadian origin, as well as hormone-free. There is no European movement on allowing genetically modified grain or oilseed products into the EU, although outside the negotiation, the European Commission is promising to work on a low-level tolerance policy for inadvertent GMO presence in feed shipments. It is as much in reaction to European farmer complaints about disrupted feed imports as it is to satisfy trader complaints. To add even more complexity, Europeans insist Canadian producers have an advantage because North American environmental demands on production practices are more relaxed than rules within the EU. In their minds, Canada’s recent reluctance to make firm commitments during a recent climate change conference in Durban, South Africa, illustrates the point. Despite the official optimism, Canada-EU negotiations are a stew of complex issues, conflicting interests and complaints from both sides about protectionism to satisfy domestic interests. access=subscriber section=news,none,none
RCMP continue to look for about 20 calves stolen from a private pasture north of Neilburg, Sask., sometime between the last week of November and Dec. 3. Const. Gary Lariviere with the RCMP detachment at Cut Knife, Sask., is familiar with farm machinery thefts, but hasn’t seen this before. “It’s a first for us,” he said. “It’s the first call I’ve had in my six years here.” Lariviere said the calves’ owner saw vehicles in the pasture but thought they belonged to an oil lease company. “He didn’t think nothing of it until Dec. 3, when he was going to brand and tag them,” Lariviere said. “The next thing you know they’re missing 19 to 20 calves.” The calves are Herefords, Red Angus, Black Angus and Charolais. They had no brands or ear tags. Dale Chibri, a purebred rancher in the area, said it’s not unusual for the occasional animal to go missing. “Everybody periodically misses a calf or two out of the pasture, but you don’t know if they died, or wildlife got them, or two-legged wildlife, but it’s never significant. “Twenty calves, that’s huge,” he said. “At the price of calves right now, that’s a big chunk of change. Probably $80 to $900 a calf, that’s $16,000 to $17,000 (worth) of cattle. That’s a lot of money.” Police suspect the calves were loaded in a trailer, possibly pulled by a one-ton truck. There is no description of the truck or trailer used in the theft. Lariviere said there are no signs of forced entry. “They just drove up, loaded them up and took off. It’s pretty ballsy,” he said. Lariviere said cattle owners should take precautions to protect themselves. “Just make sure your cattle are branded and tagged and be wary of lights in the darkness and check it out. You never know what it might be.” Anyone with information about this or any other crime should contact their nearest police service or local RCMP detachment. They may also call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477). access=subscriber section=news,livestock,none

FARMING SMARTER | SUSTAINABILITY
Farm like Mother Nature: researcher Solar energy, crop rotations | Cattle promoted as energy and nutrient saver BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU
It’s not enough to make a farm plan for next week or next month or next year, says South Dakota State University professor Dwayne Beck. Farmers should also consider the next 100 years, embracing the methods used by Mother Nature to ensure soil health and farming sustainability. Beck, who spoke at the Farming Smarter conference in Lethbridge Dec. 6-7, is also research manager for the Dakota Lakes Research Farm at Pierre, South Dakota. The research farm has been zerotill since 1984, enabling Beck to observe longer-term improvements in soil health, water retention and insect and weed management. “No-till is a tool … to let us manage an ecosystem,” he said. “Once you do tillage, you’re no longer in charge of the ecosystem. Everything just goes to hell out there.” Dakota Lakes has a goal of being carbon neutral by 2026, which Beck said means strict attention to energy costs. Harvesting sunlight, as nature does, is one way to reduce those costs. He said 80 percent of total agricultural input costs are energy related so better use of water and inputs will be required to keep farming viable in

the future. Improved commodity prices may provide an opportunity for longer-term planning. “Maybe it’s time, when we’ve got some breathing room and capital in agriculture, trying to determine where we want to be … in the next 100 years or 600 years, not next Thursday.” Beck embraces nature’s way of ensuring diversity, managing nutrients, recycling energy and using animals as part of the farming system. He said the research farm hasn’t used insecticides for 11 years and no longer uses herbicides. Instead, it has implemented an effective crop rotation that reduces weeds. Beck described post-emergent herbicide treatments as “absolutely insane” when four year crop rotations can manage weeds effectively. Nature doesn’t export nutrients, yet agricultural trade leads most farmers to export commodities and nutrients on a regular basis. “One of the things I hear a lot is

we’ve got nine billion people to feed in the world,” he said. “It makes no sense for us to degrade our ecosystem to feed nine billion people because then we won’t be able to feed ourselves. If we can’t do it without degrading our system, it’s too bad. We’ll have to send them a note and say, ‘sorry, can’t do it.’ ” Canadians worry about foreign ownership of mines and energy companies but readily sell phosphorus and potassium cheaply in the form of agricultural goods, said Beck. He also advocates using cattle as part of soil management for nutrient recycling and energy savings. “Most nitrogen in feed hauled to the feedlot does not make it back to the field. Most nitrogen in the feed consumed in the field remains there, and so one of our goals is to try to keep the livestock in the field,” he said. “I know everybody likes feedlots, but they’re incredibly energy intensive. The traditional feedlot system will probably not be predominant in 20 years because of the energy cost.” Beck advocates bale grazing and self-propelled grazing cells to incorporate cattle into field management, nutrition and increasing soil organic matter. “The most efficient biomass digestc cfour e slegs s = and s u goes b s cmoo,” r i b eher er ahas section=news,none,none said.
EXPORTS | REVIEW
Japan inches toward expanded beef access BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU
Japan has promised to review its import regulations for beef, which could lead to expanded access for Canada. Japan’s Food Safety Commission is planning public hearings and a risk assessment on each country requesting greater market opportunities. Canada and the United States are allowed to ship beef from cattle younger than 21 months, and the federal government said in a Dec. 9 news release that it hopes it could be
extended at least to cattle younger than 30 months. However, this is a slow process and is not expected to happen soon, said Canada Beef Inc. president Rob Meijer. Japanese buyers are aware of Canadian beef but have no commitment to it. “In a market like Japan, we really don’t have the reputation and brand that we need. If and when expanded access were to occur, we’ve got a lot of work to do in the meantime,” Meijer said. “This is something that is very preliminary. I am not putting a lot of resources into it at this time .… If and
when that market does expand, if we do not have some of that pre-work done, it is not going to be a huge benefit to us because consumers and end users in the market won’t gravitate toward Canadian meat just because there is market access.” Canadian exports to Japan of beef from cattle younger than 21 months totalled $81.4 million in 2010. The federal government predicts a significant increase in exports as access expands. Trade borders were closed after BSE was discovered in Canada in 2003. access=subscriber section=news,none,none

FAMILY TRADITIONS | CHOOSING A TREE
Christmas memories revived as tree farm enters final year End of an era | Retiring couple welcomed families seeking perfect tree BY SANDY BLACK FREELANCE WRITER
WELLWOOD, Man. — The Sleepy Hollow Christmas Tree Farm nestled in the hills northeast of Wellwood, Man., will truly be sleepy now, as retiring tree farmers Lorna and Jim Whyte have strolled through their grove for their last Christmas tree season. They started their farm in 1993 by planting 10,000 trees. “That’s 10,000 deep knee bends,” said Lorna. Their hard work would not yield a crop until 1999 with their first Christmas tree harvest. “Upon arriving at the farm, our Wal-Mart greeters Quincy and Ben, two lovable labs, would keep the children entertained as Jim gave the lowdown on the trees to Mom and
Dad,” said Lorna.“They were also good at retrieving lost mittens.” Jim often performed search and rescue in the grove when people would get their vehicles stuck. Their 1972 four-by-four was also called into action. Jim recalled searching for one young family as darkness fell. He found a couple wandering around looking for that perfect tree after having been there since the afternoon, with their baby wrapped up in the vehicle’s back seat. “To make things worse, I don’t think they had a tree when they finally did leave,” he said. One year, families from CFB Shilo came here to get their trees. Some had just returned from Afghanistan and likely took home warm memories that day, said Jim. Lorna recalled one family of 13
arriving with a great-grandmother, grandparents, parents and children. “We have always looked forward to their return every year and this year, 2011, there was nine of them. They make it a real family day. After cutting their trees, then they head to the Santa parade in Neepawa,” she said. For those who couldn’t make it up the hill to the grove, Jim would load them into the back of his truck, haul them to the trees and return for them later. “They would be singing and laughing,” said Lorna. Back at the house, a fire pit, hot chocolate and coffee would help take the chill off. With the Whytes’ retirement, the Christmas tree lot will likely be cleared to make way for the new owners’ potato crop. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Sask. towns welcome shopping tour
Hope shines over Alberta skies BY LES DUNFORD

FREELANCE WRITER
FREELANCE WRITER
It started out as a few carloads of shopping women and has exploded into a bus adventure that left about 1,000 shoppers on a waiting list for a seat on the Women on Wheels tour. In 2006, Renate Selinger of Montmartre, Sask., initiated the inaugural rural Saskatchewan Christmas shopping tour by suggesting that a group of women visit several area towns to support local retailers. Armed with their purses, the ladies travelled by car and van to do their Christmas shopping. By 2009, a chartered bus was ordered for the daylong trip from Regina to Montmartre, Kipling and Carlyle’s scenic Dickens Village Festival. Volunteers in Montmartre made pink and green scarves for the women, which is now an annual tradition. This year’s tour attracted 110 women housed on two busses. “We even had a woman come from Calgary to meet up with her friend in Regina to come out to our rural towns to shop,” said organizer Jolene Dusyk. The women are treated to specials, draws and additional customer service, which sometimes includes cheesecake, photos with Santa or live music. “We could get in a car and make a day of going around to a few towns on our own,” said participant Jody Snitzler of Regina. “But we said that it’s not the same because on the WOW tour, access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

they have the welcome treats and the draws and those are all something you wouldn’t find in the city.” The tour offers other extras, including the bus being held up by bandits, a perogy pit stop along Highway 48 and this year, a mini concert by Blake Berglund, Saskatchewan Country Music’s rising star award winner. “Picking up a poor stranded motorist with a flat tire turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip when he provided us with terrific entertainment to Kipling,” said Cleone Chant of Regina Beach, Sask. Chant cited unique shops that included Montmartre’s JoJo Beads
jewelry studio and Wawota’s Front Porch Interiors Furniture. “I’ve never had any store employee stand on the front step and wave goodbye as I drove away, so that was a real treat,” she said. “I really believe that small-town Saskatchewan can teach the big boys a lot about how to treat ladies with charge cards,” Chant said. “Some people think there’s not much in their communities, but there’s lots to see and show and offer, and people want to see our unique little stores and hear our stories about local singers, local designers and local characters,” Dusyk said.
BARRHEAD, Alta. — A Barrhead, Alta., farm couple has found a unique use for a 24 metre concrete silo. Wendy and Randy Lotholz are third generation farmers who raise beef cattle. In 1974, the silo was erected to hold silage for the dairy the family operated at the time. Randy recalls the crew of eight coming out to erect the imposing structure, one tongue and groove concrete block at a time. “It took them about a week,” he said. Because of its height and location at the top of a rise, the silo became an instant landmark. It has been empty since the family sold its dairy herd. “It isn’t any good for grain storage,” said Randy, who noted it’s too small to store feed for the current herd. Wendy said some visitors like to climb up to get a view of the surrounding countryside and it does provide shade on a hot day. “It’s a great landmark for helping strangers find our farm, and the pigeons seem to enjoy the penthouse view,” she said. About 11 years ago, they erected a lit star at Christmas time. The silo was the perfect place to hang it. “The X is the Greek symbol for Christ,” Wendy said of her star and cross design. Randy built it out of square tubing about two metres high. To install it, he climbs the ladder to the top with a rope attached to his waist, then hauls

Four kilometres away, Walter and Barbara Boss’s farm also features a highly visible Christmas star for passersby. This one shines in remembrance of their daughter, Lorelea, who died suddenly at age 20. She had asked her father to make a large lit star as her Christmas gift. That year, the family felt Christmas was becoming too commercialized and wanted their children to make gifts to exchange with one another. On a frigid Christmas Eve in 1990, Walter recalled assembling aluminum tent poles and the star Lorelea had created. They put lights on it and hung it from a flagpole in their yard. “Lorelea later said it was the best Christmas she ever had,” Barbara said. Walter has since added a cross in the centre of the star in remembrance of Lorelea and a strobe light. access=subscriber section=farmliving,none,none

Am I unlucky or do other parents of 12-year-old girls have problems with their daughters? I cannot believe what is happening. Overnight, our daughter changed from a sweet and innocent fun kid to
A:
Your daughter is in pre-adolescence, a troubling time for some families. Some kids make their way through this period without leaving scars on their families. Others struggle. Children in pre-adolescence are experiencing more change than they will at any other time in their lives.
They tend to be in and out of growing spurts, which leave them lanky and unco-ordinated. Their emotions are developing more quickly than their abilities to engage in rational thought and reasoning, their friends impose more demands on them and their parents and teachers expect them to be more independent and responsible. Some kids can feel overwhelmed. Some get moody or self absorbed and try to withdraw into themselves. Others, such as your daughter, decide that the world has been unfair to them and defiantly challenge various demands parents toss in their directions.
It results in tricky times for parents. The rules in the house are going to change as children get older, but the kids still need structure and routine. You need to negotiate reasonable bedtimes, study times and curfews with your daughter. You must make every effort to stick with the times agreed upon. Your job is to validate the curfew, not to discuss it as they are going out the door with friends. The more that you argue with her, the more likely it is that you will lose and both of you will end up feeling uncomfortable with each other. The counterbalances to the structure and routine are those moments
you spend caring for and loving your daughter. Kids need to believe that they are loved and respected. Don’t let your daughter’s defiance fool you, and don’t get discouraged when she backs off at times when you are reaching out to her. Be persistent but not overwhelming and she will learn to treasure the time you spend trying to listen to her. As an adult, she may thank you for the patience and support you gave her during those tough times. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan. Contact: jandrews@ producer.com.

Farm life roller coaster ride of joy and heartache Cattleman of the Year | The recognition comes after years of setbacks for George and Bernice Larre and their family BY JUSTINA CONTENTI FREELANCE WRITER
PARADISE HILL, Sask. — After forging through nearly a decade of difficult years in the cattle industry, one Saskatchewan farm family is being recognized for its commitment to the trade. George and Bernice Larre won the Cattleman of the Year Award at the Lloydminster Stockade Roundup, a feat George said is an honour. “My immediate reaction was they have probably run out of names,” he laughed. “But they said it wasn’t just one person who wanted our name tossed in the mix, that everyone wanted us to receive it.” George and Bernice grew up on farms south of Paradise Hill, Sask., a village of about 500 people. Their tidy yard holds an old red barn and a 1934 farmhouse, where they finished raising the last of their three children. George’s passion has always been cattle and for more than 20 years, he raised purebred Horned Herefords. However, when the industry started to decline, he switched to raising commercial cattle. “We went through some pretty bad years. We had a terrible drought in 2002, then the next year is when BSE hit and the price went in the tank,” said George. At the end of the two and a half year stretch after the BSE crisis, George said the breed had changed and they

Then, in October 2009, George and his son, Kelly, were in a bad collision near Maidstone, Sask. For a year after the crash, George wasn’t able to do much but he said they were both lucky to be alive. Despite years of setbacks, George and his family have pulled through and he and his son run a cow-calf operation w ith more than 800 head of cattle, something they said he accomplished with the support
of family. “On the farm, it seems that you get closer when times are tough because you need each other’s support,” said George, adding that’s the part of the farm lifestyle he loves. Bernice agreed, saying she loves everything about living and raising a family on the farm. She tends to the home, yard and garden. The couple now lives on Bernice’s parents’ homestead because it was always her dream to move back to the
farm where she grew up. George said Bernice has always worked together with him on everything throughout the years. “The old saying goes, a family that works together stays together,” said George. Now, one of George’s favourite jobs is being a grandfather to his seven grandkids. “You make more of an effort to spend time with your grandkids than you did your own because there was
nothing so important with your kids that you couldn’t do tomorrow,” said George. “But with your grandkids, you realize the clock is ticking and you better darn well make time because you aren’t going to get a second chance.” G e orge has been involved in numerous community organizations such as minor hockey and minor ball and he was the reeve for the Rural Municipality of Frenchman Butte for four years. He is most proud of his involvement in 4-H, which contributed to his cattleman award. He has served as a 4-H judge for 45 consecutive years. His love for cattle and working with youth kept him going even when his children had long since graduated from the program. “It’s pretty rewarding when you have adults coming up to you who still know you because you judged them and thank you for sending them in the right direction,” said George. With the industry getting stronger and cattle prices rising, George said there seems to be a lot of optimism around. Although he said the industry still has a long ways to go, he is encouraged by some of the young cattle producers “They have all these fresh ideas and if they put that to good use, they have tremendous potential,” said George. “The industry is in good hands.” access=subscriber section=farmliving,livestock,news

LOOKING BACK | CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
Adults helped make Christmas concerts special Teacher was key | Money was raised to buy presents, the stage erected and the Christmas tree cut down and decorated BY GINA ROSS FREELANCE WRITER
There are many tales of rural schools’ Christmas concerts in the 1930s, but little has been recorded of the caring adults who made them feasible. The teacher was key, the taskmaster who directed, chose and produced the program, but there were also caring adults behind the scenes. Months before teachers and students started rehearsals, a parents committee did fundraising. Dances featured local musicians playing well-known tunes. The men paid 25 cents, while the women were admitted free if they brought sandwiches or cake for the midnight lunch. The Ladies Aid often raffled off a quilt. By November, the committee had accumulated enough money to buy presents for the students and preschoolers in the district. They spent a busy evening poring over the Simpson’s (not yet Sears) and Eaton catalogues to order suitable gifts. When the orders arrived, there were several evenings spent wrapping and tagging gifts. Most years, at least one gift was sold out or unavailable so a volunteer was dispatched to buy something locally.
During another day of shopping, candy, Christmas oranges and nuts were purchased to accompany each gift, followed by another afternoon to fill the goody bags. There were no evergreens that grew within 50 kilometres of the Lloydminster, Alta., district and none were ever for sale nearby. A willing volunteer was picked to go north to cut one. Many years, the trip was made with horses and sleigh due to road conditions. One or two days before the big production, the men erected the stage and moved the piano into place. There was no school on the concert day so the women could decorate the tree. On the big night, we would come in from the cold to the glow of kerosene lights and a giant bespangled tree surrounded by parcels of every size. After the performance, Santa, a sometimes not so willing volunteer, arrived to distribute the gifts. After a lunch, the local musicians were usually persuaded to play for a few dances. Sometime before Christmas Day, the committees met once more. The stage was stored away, the piano returned to its regular spot, the decorations packed away and the tree was sold, one year for only 75 cents. The proceeds became part of the next year’s Christmas fund. access=subscriber section=farmliving,news,none

Q:
I had a checkup recently and the clinic nurse found that I had a buildup of earwax. She suggested putting vegetable oil in my ears for five days to soften it. I have tried this before and it doesn’t seem to work. I try to clean my ears regularly with Q-Tips. What else can I try? I think it is beginning to affect my hearing. Earwax or cerumen is a natural waxy substance secreted by the cells of the outer ear. It repels water from the surface of your outer ear canal so that excess moisture doesn’t build up in your ear. Damp or constantly wet ears are more prone to infections. It also helps to maintain a certain pH balance in your ear, which also inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. Special action is not required to remove earwax, other than washing your ears with soap and water, unless you are having symptoms. They include a feeling of discomfort, fullness or blockage or a loss of hearing. Sometimes there is tinnitus or ringing in the ear, which means that the
A:
earwax is hard and impacted and is pressing on your eardrum. Do not poke objects into your ears such as Q-Tips. There is a danger that you could perforate an eardrum or push the existing wax further into the ear canal, making it harder to remove later. The safest way is to put mineral, baby or olive oil into your ears morning and night for about a week. Use an eyedropper to put a few drops of oil into the ear. Make sure the oil is at room temperature or even slightly warmer or you might feel dizzy and nauseous. The next step is to use a rubber bulb type of syringe found at the drug store to flush out the softened wax. Fill the syringe with lukewarm body temperature water and gently insert the water into the ear, moving your head to the opposite side so that water drains into the ear canal. Tip the head to the other side over a bowl to drain the water out, and watch for lumps of wax to appear. A nurse or doctor can also do it for you. Make sure you dry your ears well afterward, because they can be vulnerable to infection until wax is formed. There are commercial earwax removal products but some contain peroxide and a type of detergent that can cause irritation or allergies in some people.
