Trade deal could help meat compete

Feds impose grain targets

Canada hopes to regain pork and beef access BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

After nearly a decade of negotiations, Canada’s meat industry is relieved that prime minister Stephen Harper will sign a free trade agreement with South Korea. The prime minister flew to Seoul on the weekend and was expected to sign a trade deal with South Korean president Park Guen-hye March 11. Details of the deal were not available at press time, but meat industry representatives said the agreement would help restore competitiveness in South Korea, a market that bought more than $230 million of Canadian pork in 2011 and $40 million of beef before the BSE crisis hit in 2003. The United States signed a free trade agreement with South Korea in 2012, and the Asian country has lowered tariffs on American pork and beef over the last two years.

A federal order that imposes minimum weekly quotas on the amount of western grain that the major railways must haul comes as welcome relief to the prairie grain industry. Canada’s major railway companies will be required to carry a combined total of one million tonnes of western Canadian grain each week, the equivalent of about 5,500 rail cars a week for each railway. Railways have a grace period of four weeks to ramp up their operations to meet the new limits. After that, failure to meet the quota could result in fines as high as $100,000 per day. Grain shippers welcomed the order but industry observers already doubt that the quotas will be achieved on a consistent basis. “I think it’s going to be a challenge,” said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., which runs the Grain Monitoring Program. “The issue is not about whether you can do a week or two like this. The issue is whether you can do this week, after week … on a sustained basis.” Details of the federal order are sketchy. Transport Canada official Josianne Martel said in an email that the railways must report to the transport minister weekly. Martel’s email contained no details about how the railways would report their weekly movements, how weekly reports would be scrutinized and what would constitute a tonne of grain carried.

Trade agreement Consequently, the playing field is no longer level for Canadian meat exporters. Canadian Pork Council chair Jean Guy Vincent said Canada has lost $150 million in pork sales to South Korea in two years. In 2011, Canada exported $233 million in pork to South Korea and only $76 million in 2013. Vincent said getting an agreement with South Korea is paramount because the country has traditionally been Canada’s fifth largest market for pork. “The first thing that is important is to have the free trade agreement. Other countries, the U.S., Chile and the EU have this free trade agreement (with Korea).” Ron Davidson, the Canadian Meat Council’s director of government and media relations, said South Korea has a 22.5 percent tariff on chilled pork from Canada, 25 percent on frozen pork, 40 percent on chilled and frozen beef and 18 percent on beef offal. John Masswohl, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s director of government and international relations, said the Korean deal would lower those tariffs over time, giving Canadian beef exports a fair shot against American beef. “My expectation is we’re going to have a tariff phase-out schedule that is going to enable us to ship commer-

cially meaningful quantities of beef into Korea.” Canada sold $40 million in beef to South Korea in 2002, the year before the BSE crisis hit. By 2012, when Korea finally lifted its BSE ban on Canadian beef, exports were worth $10 million. Last year it was $8 million. The Korean tariff on U.S. beef has dropped to 32 percent since the two countries signed their trade deal, Masswohl said. “We’re still at 40 (percent). So each year it’s been a little harder,” he said. “If we can get it implemented by the beginning in 2015 and we get our first (tariff ) cut the same time as the Americans getting their fourth cut … then we’ll stay eight percent behind the Americans during the (tariff ) phase out.” Similarly, the deal will likely reduce South Korean tariffs on Canadian pork over time, which means the tariff on Canadian products will remain higher than the U.S. until the phase in is complete. “We hope to (eventually) be at zero, same as the Americans,” Davidson said. Canada’s meat industry has vigorously lobbied for free trade with South Korea, but the Canadian auto industry has attempted to block the deal. Automakers and unions object to the elimination of Canada’s 6.1 percent tariff on Korean vehicles.

Cows, pig shot on Sask. farm SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Police are investigating the March 7 shooting of three cows and a pig on a farm near Carmel, Sask. Two of the cows and the pig were shot several times in the belly and died at the scene. The third animal is being treated at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. It has six bullet wounds in the head and one along its backbone. Kelly Meyer and his wife, Debbie, discovered that one of their range pigs had been shot and killed about 5 p.m. They then found two pregnant cows, one a Black Angus and the

other a Red Angus, dead in the pasture. They had also been shot. The Meyers believe that whoever shot their animals, possibly with .22 caliber bullets, did it during two separate times March 7, which was Kelly’s 55th birthday. They estimate the cows were shot around 6:30 a.m. and the pig between 2:30 and 5:00 p.m. The Meyers have been farming for about 20 years and their cow-calf operation comprises 33 cows and a few pigs. The herd is about three weeks from calving and the pigs about one month from market weight. Humboldt RCMP are requesting anyone with information to call Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS(8477).

Federal gov’t imposes quotas As of March 10, Quorum had received no details about how grain movements would be reported or monitored. “I would imagine they’ve got a plan, but it doesn’t involve us,” Hemmes said. He said the challenges involved in moving prairie grain to market will not disappear when spring weather arrives. New challenges will include rural road bans, spring flooding, avalanches and rock slides. “I don’t know that the railways will be able to sustain 5,500 (cars per week) through that entire period.” Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway have never delivered one million tonnes in a single week to port locations that handle western Canadian grain, according to Canadian Grain commission statistics collected over the past two and a half years. The highest combined weekly tonnage delivered to Canada’s four port locations has never exceeded 800,000 tonnes since Aug. 1, 2011. The closest the railways came was in Week 9 of the 2013-14 crop year, when 785,000 tonnes were unloaded at Thunder Bay, Churchill, Vancouver and Prince Rupert. The federal order includes grain delivered to Eastern Canada, the United States and domestic markets. CP said it is disappointed with the order in council. “CP believes the actions of the federal government raise more questions than … answers and only (focus) on the railways and not the entire supply chain,” said spokesperson Ed Greenberg. CN president Claude Mongeau said his company will do its part. “Our assessment shows that an upper limit of around 5,500 cars per week may be achievable, but only if all members of the supply chain work together closely.” CN said it expects to move an additional 10 million tonnes of export grain this year because of last year’s record harvest. “No supply chain in the world can reasonably be expected to handle a 10 million tonne increase in traffic on such short notice,” Mongeau said. CN said more regulations for grain transportation would be ill-advised. “(They) would lead to adversarial relationships within the supply chain, at a time when collaboration is essential,” he said. Robert Ballantyne, chair of the Coalition of Rail Shippers, said Ottawa’s decision to impose a million-tonne-per-week quota will require the railways to live up to promises they made to grain shippers last fall. “If the railways say they can do that, then it was reasonable for the government to put that into the targets,” Ballantyne said. “But I think … this will be certainly be of concern to a number of other industry groups that are big users of rail.” Added Hemmes: “Short of stealing assets and resources away from other commodities and creating problems for other commodity groups … I think we’re in a bind.” SEE MORE STORIES ABOUT GRAIN TRANSPORTATION ON PAGES 4 AND 16

Farm groups welcome federal intervention One million tonne mandate | Grain groups applaud new order in council to get grain moving again BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A federal government plan requiring each of Canada’s major railways to carr y a minimum of 500,000 tonnes of western regulated grain per week is being applauded by farmers and grain industry organizations. Federal transportation minister Lisa Raitt announced in Winnipeg March 7 that an order in council will set out minimum volumes of grain that Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway are each required to move. Together, the railways will be required to move one million tonnes of grain per week, an amount equal to roughly 11,000 carloads. Raitt said the railways have four weeks to ramp up deliveries to the minimum levels imposed by Ottawa. Failure to meet the targets could result in fines as high as $100,000 per day. The order will remain in effect for 90 days. The Alberta Wheat Commission issued a news release shortly after Ottawa’s announcement, applauding Raitt and federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz for taking an “unprece-

dented” action to get grain moving and provide relief to the Western Canadian agriculture sector. “The rail backlog has resulted in significant costs to the agriculture industry, and AWC applauds the actions of the government for the immediate and long-term solutions that are being implemented,” said AWC chair Kent Erickson. Greg Porozni, chair of Cereals Canada’s board of directors, offered similar praise. “Restricted grain movement over the last six months has placed a significant economic strain on Western Canadian farmers. The announcement today will help get income flowing to producers again. This is not just good for farmers, it is good for Canada.” The 5,500 car weekly minimums for each railway are in line with numbers contained in railway company service plans that were shared with grain companies last fall. Actual deliveries of grain so far in the 2013-14 crop year are slightly higher than the five-year average, but well below the levels of service that were promised by the railways last year. The announcement comes as

farmers and grain companies are taking extraordinary measures to move their grain to markets. Last week Richardson International took the unusual step of trucking canola to Thunder Bay, Ont., from Richardson Pioneer elevator locations in southern Manitoba. Richardson spokesperson Tracey Shelton said the company started transferring grain last week and will continue until available capacity at Thunder Bay has been filled. “We’re moving grain from our facilities out to Thunder Bay so we can … open up space in the country … and fill space that’s available in Thunder Bay …,” Shelton said March 5. “It’s a desperate situation. We’re certainly anxious and really keen on getting grain moving so we’re looking at all the opportunities that we might have to do that … and this is one on those options.” Shelton said the first shipments were canola but she did not rule out other crop types that could be moved that direction as well. Last month, under mounting pressure from farmers and grain companies, Ottawa also took steps to beef up railway performance data collected by the federal Grain

Monitoring Program. Officials with Quorum Corp., the company contracted by Ottawa to collect data on grain movement and railway performance, said expanding the data will improve shippers’ understanding of the railways and the grain handling system. Increasingly, rail companies are dedicating more resources on the eastern Prairies to moving commodities other than grain. According to Quorum president Mark Hemmes, that has complicated grain company efforts to match grain shipments with ocean vessels waiting at port. “The fact that … the railways are choosing where grain is going to get sourced from frustrates the plans that grain companies put together when they make a sale,” Hemmes said. “The grain companies know it’s happening. They’ve told us. They’ve told the government … but there isn’t anything you can do if that’s the way that the market and the regulatory environment is set up.” Hemmes, who spoke from Vancouver, said the number of ships waiting at port had dropped slightly as of March 5.

Canadian passive vaccine could be used to treat PED

Ag officials unsure federal action on grain backlog is enough Details of federal legislation should reveal more BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

In development | Manitoba company delivers antibodies via egg yolks BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A passive vaccine that could treat the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus is six to eight weeks away from presentation for federal government review. Zyme Fast Inc., a Manitoba biotechnology company, is developing a feed additive derived from egg yolks. Chickens are immunized with the PED virus and produce antibodies in their eggs. The virus does not harm the chickens, and yolks of their eggs are then processed into pig feed. “The chicken will produce for months and months eggs with the right antibodies in it, and then you just dry the egg and feed it as a feed additive,” said Zyme Fast president Terence Sellen. “It makes it cheaper for the farmer and it’s very effective.” Sellen said the antibody-containing additive could act as a preventive measure as well as a cure. PED virus has killed millions of piglets in the United States, where it is now considered endemic. Canada has confirmed 31 infected barns, 28 of them in Ontario. The last four were confirmed last week in four counties. Sellen said pigs’ acquisition of immunity through feed would be quicker than injecting a traditional vaccine, which encourages production of antibodies in a response that can take days or weeks,. PED affects the lining of piglets’

small intestines, preventing them from deriving nourishment from milk. They can die within days from dehydration and starvation. “In this sort of form, it’s kind of a passive immunity, in that you’re not expecting the pigs to actually produce their own antibodies but you provide them antibodies that they could ingest and hopefully fight off the virus in that process,” said Mark Fynn, an animal care specialist with the Manitoba Pork Council. “It’s not a traditional vaccine in the sense that you’re not injecting an antigen into the pigs and expecting them to mount an immune response.” Sellen said the product could prevent piglets from getting the virus because they would ingest the antibodies needed to fight PED once exposed. “You don’t know where this thing is going to come so why wait until the animal is sick and it has an impact,” he said. Fynn said the best approach is to prevent viral transmission using stringent biosecurity. Should PED find its way into a herd, the product proposed by Zyme Fast could limit losses. “It’s more used as a treatment,” Fynn said. “You could use it preventively for it to fight the virus, but the pigs are still ingesting the virus in some form or another for this product to even work, so it’s more about trying to save the lives of piglets and also help other pigs to stay relatively healthy and get back on track and be able to produce their

own level of immunity.” Zyme Fast has been working on the passive vaccine since January. Sellen said it developed a PED vaccine about four years ago and licensed it to Asian producers. PED has existed in Asia since the early 1980s. The vaccine was for a different strain of PED, but the company is using the same approach to develop a product for the North American strain. “(The viruses) are about 90 percent the same, but 90 percent the same is not really good enough. You have to try and get much higher. We’re trying to get higher than 99 percent,” Sellen said. PED has cost the American hog industry more than $1 billion in piglet losses, and an effective vaccine could prove lucrative for the Manitoba firm. Manitoba has had only one case of PED since the virus first came to Canada in January, and it has been contained. Fynn said the exact source of infection has not been determined. However, investigation has ruled out feed as the source, and the supplier of pigs to the infected wean to finish barn has also tested clean of PED. “I’m quite pleased at the level of co-operation we got from the producer that was unfortunate enough to get the disease on his site, but also with the amount of engagement that we have from all the other pig farmers in the province and how seriously they are taking it,” Fynn said.

$1 billion HAS BEEN LOST BY THE AMERICAN HOG INDUSTRY TO PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA

Prairie government leaders say the recent federal announcement to get more grain moving is a good first step. However, they are waiting for promised legislation to find out how the situation could be prevented in the future. In the short term, Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway have four weeks to reach a level where they are shipping about 5,500 rail cars of grain per week each. Failure to comply could cost them $100,000 per day. “It sounds substantial, but how substantial is it when we talk about the volume of grain being moved and when we talk about the $4 million per week demurrage costs?” said Manitoba agr iculture minister Ron Kostyshyn. “Which is the worst of the two scenarios?” Manitoba has formed a special committee to look at that province’s place in the transportation system. They will look at increasing movement to Churchill and Thunder Bay, as well as moving more grain south. Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall has also advocated moving more grain through the United States. Kostyshyn said he is bothered by the mountains of oats sitting in Manitoba instead of moving to American millers. “This should not be happening,” said the long-time grain farmer. His Saskatchewan and Alberta counterparts, Lyle Stewart and Verlyn Olson, also said the current system does not work and must be fixed. Stewart said the railways have the ability to move 5,500 grain cars each per week. “I think what’s been lacking is the will to do it,” he said, adding the penalties could serve as encouragement. However, Saskatchewan wants a promised new federal law to require the two railways to ship 13,000 cars per week rather than 11,000. “The industry is confident that they can handle at least 13,000 and we

think we ought to push things a little bit, that we have one shot at fixing this transportation mess and we better not fall short of the mark,” he said. Although the Saskatchewan and Alberta governments have freemarket philosophies, both agree that regulatory intervention is required because most farmers are served by only one line. Olson noted that a reading of his province’s 1906 annual report on agriculture notes that the railways were taken to task for failing to move that year’s good harvest. “These are longstanding issues and they are issues really of national interest,” he said. Saskatchewan Liberal MP Ralph Goodale, a former agriculture minister, said the losses are about $5 billion and by the time the railways actually ramp up to 500,000 tonnes per week, spring road bans will be on and farmers won’t be able to haul. “I’m just astounded that after this length of time and the accumulation of these losses that the government has come forward with such a weakkneed position,” he said. “They must be terrified of the railways.” Goodale said that even if a railway is fined every single day for the 90 day period authorized by the federal order in council, that only amounts to $9 million. That money goes to the government, not farmers. The fine would be more meaningful if the government had required the railways to pay the demurrage at the West Coast, he said. He also said the new legislation should define levels of service, include a way to measure them and include compensation for farmers. Both he and NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen chided CP’s advertisements in national newspapers last week. “The real gall of CP to run advertisements … suggesting that it’s everyone else’s fault but theirs,” Allen said. “This idea that we’re doing a great job. The truth is they’re not and it’s farmers that suffer at the end of the day.”

CIGI donation designed to boost worldwide promotion BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Viterra has donated $1 million to the Canadian International Grains Institute for its work in promoting Canadian crops worldwide. “We said we need to support CIGI in a very meaningful way,” said Viterra president and North America chief executive officer Kyle Jeworski. “We feel that as the leading grain company in Canada we’re the first out and it’s a challenge to others to support a very meaningful organization like CIGI in a meaningful way like we have.” CIGI plans to use the donation to help fund its expanding role in training foreign and prairie crop sellers and users. Viterra will get its name on an existing classroom inside CIGI’s Portage and Main area headquarters. CIGI had been primarily funded by CWB during the era of the single desk. But in recent years and especially since the death of the CWB monopoly, it has expanded into nonboard crops and changed its funding structure to bring in money from farmer organizations and commissions. CIGI has had to replace CWB funding, and also pay for more training for Canadian grain company staff now working in marketing roles once done by CWB. CIGI chief executive officer Earl Geddes said the agency has been unable to meet all requests for training and support, and those are lost opportunities to promote Canadian crops. “When you turn work away you’re not doing something that’s good for the industry,” said Geddes. “This (contribution) will make sure that we’re not turning away activity with international customers, with growers, with exporters.” CIGI has also outgrown its current building and needs funding for new facilities. For years, CIGI seemed destined to move from downtown Winnipeg to a University of Manitoba grain industry cluster site, but Geddes said the organization now intends to stay near the present commercial grain industry nexus at Portage and Main. “We’ve decided if we’re staying in the City of Winnipeg we want to stay downtown.” Multiple grain company head offices, organizations like Pulse Canada, the Canola Council of Canada and the new Cereals Canada, and attractions like the new Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the Winnipeg Jets arena make downtown the right place to be to impress foreign visitors. “That builds that Canadian image that we want to sell all around the world,” said Geddes. He said CIGI is not yet permanently committed to staying in Winnipeg as it searches for larger facilities, but it would like to stay because the city is the centre of the Canadian grain trade. “It’s the logical place, so yes, obviously, you’d want to be in the city,” said Geddes.

N.Z. firm invests in Man. sheep farm Sarto Sheep Farm | New Zealand processor to help producer expand to 30,000 ewes BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A New Zealand lamb processing company is working with Canada’s largest sheep farm to increase its flock from 5,000 to 30,000 ewes within five years. Sarto Sheep Farm of Manitoba and Integrated Foods of New Zealand plan to form Canada Sheep and Lamb Farms with a goal to build a vertically integrated sheep and lamb business on the Prairies. “We want to build a multinational sheep business,” said Gary Alexander, managing director of Integrated Foods. Under the agreement, Integrated Foods will invest the money and Smith will invest his land, sheep, buildings and expertise into Canada Sheep. The partners hope to build a federally inspected lamb processing plant in Manitoba within two years to capture premium lamb prices. Pat Smith of Sarto said Integrated Foods brings expertise in processing lamb to get the maximum value out of a carcass. “The New Zealand expertise in how to process a lamb will allow us to get much more value out of that lamb and certainly appeal to the marketplace with a product the marketplace wants to buy.” Integrated Foods slaughters and processes 243,000 lambs a year at its plant in Gisborne, which is considered small by New Zealand standards. The company, which sells into

high-end food stores, has 65,000 ewes and 4,000 head of cattle on 40,000 acres. Its parent company, Mangatu Corp., is also involved in the food and forestry business. “We have a lot of expertise in the boutique end of processing. We try to extract maximum value for the animal,” said Alexander, who grew up near Cochrane, Alta. Smith hopes that increasing the Canadian flock size with uniform sheep will attract the attention of consumers, high-end restaurants and stores and increase the popularity of the company’s lamb. Smith, who is president of the Canadian Lamb Co-op, said the industry has been unable to catch the attention of major retailers without a regular and uniform supply of lambs. “Now, the co-op doesn’t have ability to satisfy demand, and big players don’t want to place orders because there is not enough sheep.” The new company plans to sell its lamb through the co-op. All lambs are now sold to an Ontario processing plant. Manitoba’s foreign ownership rules meant Integrated Foods needed an exemption from the provincial government to buy land in the province. The deal became official at the beginning of March. Integrated Foods originally looked at buying land in Alberta and importi n g s h e e p f ro m Ne w Z e a l a n d . Instead, it teamed up with Smith, who has been raising sheep for almost 40 years. “I saw a real opportunity for us to be

involved there,” said Alexander. Canada Sheep will provide contracted producers, or multipliers, with bred ewes. The lambs will stay at the multipliers’ farms until weaning, when they will be moved to a Canada Sheep feedlot and finished as breeding ewes for new multipliers or market lambs. Sytse van der Zijil of Beausejour, Man., the first multiplier signed by Canada Sheep, said working with Canada Sheep was the easiest way to quickly increase his flock. The family moved from the Netherlands in 2011 hoping to get into the dairy business. However, high quota prices forced the family to raise sheep on a converted dairy farm. The family began with 300 of their own ewes, but have expanded to 1,000 since partnering with Canada Sheep. They hope to reach 2,500 ewes within the next two years. “You can come quick to a farm that is livable and profitable,” said van der Zijil. Smith has lined up three more multipliers for next year, all with experience in dairy or hogs and all with facilities that will house the lambing ewes. Canada Sheep hopes to add five new multiplier sites a year in the third and subsequent years. Using old, abandoned or underused dairy or hog facilities is the ideal way to raise the sheep year round, said Smith, who raises 5,000 ewes in his intensive breeding operation that focuses on raising multiple lambs throughout the year. His 5,000 ewes lamb three times in

two years, and the average ewe produces 3.5 lambs a year. That intensive, year round lambing model will be the template for the new company’s multiplier barns. Smith believes it is possible to expand to 30,000 ewes in five years. Canada Sheep will focus its growth in Manitoba, but could build a second feeding operation in Saskatchewan, depending on how the business grows. Smith said following strict protocols from breeding to finishing will be one of the keys to expanding the business and raising sheep year round. “I believe they are the difference between a profitable operation and a less profitable operation with less mortality than the average sheep farm has and more lambs going to market,” said Smith. “Those things don’t happen by accident, even with the best genetics. They happen with proper protocols and good genetics.” Ewes on his farm produce three or four lambs each lambing. Only two are kept on the ewe and the others are raised in a nursery. Alexander said he sees tremendous opportunity in North America for increased lamb production. Canada consumes 35,000 tonnes of lamb a year, but half is imported, much from New Zealand. “ T h e re i s p l e n t y o f ro o m f o r g ro w t h,” s a i d A l e x a n d e r, w h o believes there are plenty of opportunities to customize the lamb for different markets.

More cars, better basis levels

Market’s focus turns to 2014-15 prospects

Knowing a train is coming will allow elevator managers to give real bids instead of ‘stink bids’ BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

This winter’s wide basis levels could quickly narrow if trains start moving soon at a decent pace, says an analyst who follows that market. “Whatever tentative improvement we have seen to this date is going to accelerate as the logistical problem begins to end,” said Harold Davis, the analyst who operates Prairiecropcharts.com. “I’m confident once we get some action on the trains, we’re going to see these value relationships tighten up towards where they were in the past.” Davis described current basis as “unbelievably a bad level” compared to typical levels. For instance, hard red spring wheat in Saskatchewan faced an average per bushel basis level of $1.20 under Minneapolis hard red spring wheat futures in the year before the 2013 bumper harvest began putting pressure on the system. The range was 50 cents under to $1.50 under. On March 7 the Saskatchewan average was $2.77 under and the week before it was $2.94 under. The average canola basis was, on average, 50 cents per bu. under the ICE Futures contract, with a range of zero to $1 under. However, on March 7 it was $1.22 under. It means a return to regular crop movement has the potential to improve basis by dozens of cents per bushel just to get to the worst part of the typical range. There are massive supplies of crop on the Prairies, but Davis said the winter’s appalling basis quotes might not have been sound representations of cash market values. He said elevators often couldn’t move product at all, so they weren’t interested in buying crops. However, many managers felt obligated to make some offer so that their regular clients could have something to consider. As a result, they posted bad bids that they doubted anyone would take. Davis said the recent federal car-

Elevators couldn’t move any product this winter so they weren’t buying crops, causing basis levels to be exceptionally wide. | FILE PHOTO load targets and better weather will likely alleviate stress on the system, which means elevator managers could soon be turning over their product again and be back bidding for crops.

“The minute the elevator manager knows that he’s going to get a train … he’s going to be giving real bids instead of stink bids,” said Davis. “You’re going to see those basises tighten up considerably.”

Just getting to the middle of the previous basis ranges would narrow the canola basis by more than 70 cents per bu. and the hard red spring wheat basis by about $1.55 per bu. , he added.

he U.S. Department of Agriculture’s March 10 report took the wind out of the grain price rally, and now the market will likely tread water until the U.S. prospective plantings report March 30. Like a fire needs fuel, market rallies need a constant feed of bullish news to keep them going. Monday’s USDA report wasn’t bullish. Nor was it terribly bearish. The depar tment tr immed its domestic soybean and corn ending stocks forecast as expected and cut its outlook for South American soybean production, also about as expected. The rally had already taken all of this into consideration, so traders took the opportunity to sell and lock in the profits they had made on the rally. What will drive markets in coming weeks? The South American crop is in its harvest phase, so production risk is fading. Some private traders have lower production forecasts than the USDA, so there could be further slight trimming in the department’s report next month. However, most attention will now swing to weather and seeding forecasts for Northern Hemisphere crops. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

DURUM | MOROCCO

Grain institute trains Moroccan milling experts Build exports | CIGI will provide technical information and technology to help Morocco improve durum quality

Morocco to offer programming there. Rachid Chamcham, production technical manager for the Maghreb Group, said millers in his country want to be able to fine-tune their

technical skills, but it’s hard to do inside busy mills that are in full production. “We are testing things (here) that are difficult to test at a commercial or

industrial mill,” said Chamcham, who attended another CIGI course in 1998. “We’re here with all these labs and facilities to test some things new that we can take home.”

Acharki said Moroccan millers are thrilled to see surging demand for their products but are anxious to keep up with increasingly higher quality demands. “The consumer started to appreciate the quality,” said Acharki. “That’s put pressure on the industry to do everything it can to increase the quality. It creates competition and elevates the entire industry.” Yahya Moussa, head of the Moroccan milling education institute, said he wants the CIGI relationship to take Morocco to the next level of professionalism, which is key in building domestic and expor t demand. “We’re aiming at having an institute in Morocco that has the same quality of instruction as would happen at CIGI,” said Moussa, who trained all the other Moroccans in the room. The CIGI-Morocco program is based on a “train the trainers” approach that will give these professionals technical skills they can take back to Morocco and teach to dozens of other millers and processors. Chamcham said Morocco’s existing milling education and training has created a pool of graduates that operate around the world. It also helps increase trade between his country and other markets. He believes this program will spread that pool wider and make the connections deeper. “Maybe we can exchange the experience of both countries and both institutes … and we’ll have the international reputation to give very good quality supporting people for the industry and the whole value chain,” said Chamcham.

A more immediate factor for Canadian farmers is the government’s actions to force railways to move more grain. If there is a big increase in movement, it will provide delivery opportunities and should start to narrow

the basis, which has been extremely wide, making Canadian cash grain

prices pale by comparison to American cash bids.

WINNIPEG — Milling experts from Morocco and Canada are swapping knowledge, hoping to boost both countries’ durum-based industries. “The sector in Morocco is experiencing a big boom and so the industry is always looking for training and technology,” said Abdeslam Acharki, who works with a durum and wheat importing organization in Morocco. “We want to take some of the knowledge in (the Canadian International Grains Institute) and bring it back home and show it to the industry.” CIGI and Morocco’s Institut de Formation de L’industria Meuniere are working together to establish a durum technical milling program in Casablanca to boost Morocco’s burgeoning high-quality milling and processing industry. All of the Maghreb region of northwestern Africa is a big buyer of Canadian durum, but Morocco has long had a sophisticated milling and cous cous-pasta-manufacturing industry, making it a regional centre for expertise and exports. The country hopes to boost the quality of durum flour and processed goods for the domestic market and for its export markets in Africa, Europe and South America. Five Moroccans were in Winnipeg in early March as part of a new, fiveyear program funded by the federal foreign affairs, trade and development department. The program will bring Moroccan professional millers to CIGI for technical training and send CIGI staff to

The fact that oilseed prices have been relatively better than grain prices this winter has analysts thinking there will be a modest increase in soybean and canola seeding this spring. The unrest in Ukraine will also be a factor, depending on the level of disruption to field work and spring seeding. However, for now the dispute does not look like it will deteriorate into war. Beginning this week, the USDA has started weekly reporting on the status of the winter wheat crop now that it is breaking dormancy. These reports should shed light on the damage caused by the severe winter. Most at risk are the western parts of the hard red winter wheat region. Winter wheat is a resilient crop and favourable weather this spring could help revive plants, but the stress will mount if it remains dry. The warming in the Pacific Ocean, which could perhaps lead to an El Niño by this summer, is also a threat. El Niños tend to reduce rainfall in eastern Australia, where it is already extremely dry. Southeast Asia could also be dry in an El Niño, hurting palm oil production. However, it is not certain that there will be an El Niño and if so, how strong it will be.

LIVESTOCK | HERD NUMBERS

Beef herd numbers continue to fall in Canada Decline of .8 percent | Sheep numbers also down, but hog herd rises BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A downturn in Canadian livestock herd numbers reflects too many years of increasing costs and dwindling profitability. The Statistics Canada inventory report released March 5 showed cattle and sheep numbers are down with a minor uptick in the national hog herd. The number of beef cows fell .8 percent to 3.9 million head as of Jan. 1, following a downward trend that began in 2006. Fewer calves were available as a result, and heifer retention is minimal. This is the smallest herd since 1992. The beef herd continues to decline despite recent record high prices in fed and feeder cattle markets. Alberta and British Columbia saw minor growth, but the other provinces reported fewer cattle. Mo re t h a n 4 0 p e rc e n t o f t h e national beef herd lives in Alberta with more than five million head. Nearly 90 percent of beef herds are found in the four western provinces. Dairy numbers fell by half a percent to 1.4 million cows and heifers, said the inventory report. Cattle and calf slaughter declined 2.2 percent to three million head last year, with slaughter numbers down in Eastern Canada and up slightly in the West. About 2.55 million head were graded last year, said Cindy Delaloye of the Canadian Grading Agency, which reflected higher slaughter prices. Sheldon Archibald, a purebred and commercial producer from Irma, Alta., is not sure if expansion is possible when the grain sector has paid so well in recent years. “We are selling breeding bulls and

we are selling females back to guys who want to grow their herds, but it is hard in our area because grain has been king for a few years. I don’t know how many of those guys are going to come back to the harder work of raising livestock,” he said. As well, Canadian farmers are growing older. “I don’t see a lot of these 65- to 75-year-old men going back to cattle when they have been out for a decade grain farming,” Archibald said at the Calgary Bull Sale March 6. “Some of these young guys started out with grain farming and had good returns so I don’t see them learning about livestock.” Profitability is needed to excite people about the beef industry again, said Martin Unrau, outgoing president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. He hopes the introduction of the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program might ease some of the bumps in the cattle cycle. “There were a number of things in the grain industry that helped stabilize our operation, things like crop insurance where you were carrying a set floor price for the crop you seeded,” he said. Unrau has 600 commercial cows on his Manitoba ranch, but he also grows crops. His canola was insured at 80 percent and that coverage can be a godsend in bad years. “ W h e n y o u c a n d o t h a t , w hy wouldn’t you tear up the grass?” he said. “If you had that marginal land and prices started going up, you could turn that into grain land and be guaranteed a floor price on what you produced.” Cattle price insurance might entice young people if there is less volatility in the industry. The only positive note in the Jan. 1

report was a 1.1 percent increase in the number of hogs. However, the number of farms reporting hogs declined. There are 7,090 hog farms in Canada, down a half percent from last year. Farmers reported 1.2 million sows and gilts, up 0.3 percent. Canada exported five million hogs in 2013, down 12.4 percent from 2012 and more than 50 percent less than the peak in 2007. Domestic hog slaughter also declined in 2013, down 1.7 percent from 2012 to slightly less than 21 million head. The sheep sector has also experienced declines with inventories falling one percent to 893,000 head. The number of ewes declined 0.9 percent and replacement lambs fell 2.1 percent. The number of market lambs decreased 0.6 percent from a year ago. The only provinces to see growth in their flocks were Manitoba with three percent more and Alberta at slightly less than one percent.

The national beef herd has fallen to its lowest level since 1992. |

CANFAX REPORT

Fewer hogs send up prices

FED CATTLE RISE

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hog futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange surged 6.5 percent last week on tightening U.S. supplies as a deadly pig virus sweeps the country. Lean hog futures finished the week about a penny off of a record high of $1.1468 per pound set earlier in the week. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PED) kills piglets, which in turn reduces the supply of market-ready hogs a few months later. Hog and pork wholesale prices are already at their highest ever level for this time of year. There was widespread market talk that big packers, including the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top pork processor, Smithfield Foods Inc., may reduce production to four days from five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening throughout the industry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just Smithfield. All pork processors are having this issue with the disease,â&#x20AC;? said one industry source close to the situation. There is no official data on how many hogs have died from PED, but analysts and economists put losses at least at four million head since the virus was detected last May.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

Trade in the Canadian market finally picked up enough last week to allow Canfax to establish prices, with fed steers at $136.73 per hundredweight and heifers at $140.16. Prices were catching up with the sharply stronger American market of the past few weeks. The Canadian cash-to-futures basis strengthened more than $10.75, thanks to the Canadian rally and slightly lower Chicago futures. The American cash market fell $2 from the record high prices of $152 the previous week. The weekly western Canadian sales volume was down four percent at 11,296 head. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to March 1 rose 22 percent to 33,418. Weekly fed cattle exports to Feb. 22 rose seven percent to 7,824 head. A few cash cattle were carried over, but the show list was expected to remain mostly steady. Fed slaughter was adequate and up from a year ago, but packers have a comfortable supply. Lackluster bids are anticipated this week, and prices should be steady to lower.

COWS SET RECORD The western Canadian cow slaughter dipped lower than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace for the second week. D1, D2 cows ranged $85-$105 to average $94.36 per cwt. and D3 cows were $75-$90 to average $84.50. It

was up $4.50 from the previous week and a record high. Cull cows have set first-half highs in March only twice in the past 10 years: 2004 and 2005. Rail grade cows were $188-$193 per cwt. Canadian packer demand for butcher bulls was sluggish because the market is largely export driven, even though the export pace is down two percent from last year at this time. Non-fed supplies will continue to tighten, which could force packers to cut kill levels. Export demand should remain firm because western Canadian prices are $16-$17 lower than U.S. utility cow prices.

FEEDERS STRONG C o m p e t i t i o n f o r g ra s s c at t l e remains strong. Steers and heifers 400-600 pounds are trading at their highest levels in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In recent years, 850 lb. steer prices have trended lower in March and the first half of April. Demand for bunk replacements is brisk as heavier feeders trade at or near record highs. However, a price decline of two to three percent over the next month and a half would not be surprising. Strengthening barley bids and slightly lower live cattle futures will act as headwinds against the feeder market. Corn futures also have been rising, and feed prices could become an

issue. The Alberta auction volume fell 18 percent with the cold weather last week, to 28,933 head. Weekly feeder exports to Feb. 22 rose eight percent to 11,142, the most since the first week in December. With cattle-on-feed inventories trending above last year, some feedlots say bunk space is becoming an issue. Bred cows ranged $1,210-$1,750 per head. Bred heifers were $1,250$1,775 and cow-calf pairs ranged $1,200-$1,750.

U.S. BEEF SOARS U.S. cutouts jumped $14-$14.17 US per cwt., lifted by tight supply, reduced packer slaughter and rising pork prices. The Choice cutout was $235.58 and Select was $233.00. Cutouts were only $4.45 below the record set Jan 22. U. S. p a c k e r m a r g i n s s h o u l d improve as fed cash prices come off their record highs and beef prices rise.

PED PUSHES HOGS HIGHER Tight market-ready supplies and rising pork prices caused U.S. cash hogs and futures to rise. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, which kills piglets, is reducing the hog supply. Some U.S. east coast packers are cutting slaughter to four days a week from five. Iowa, southern Minnesota hogs delivered to slaughter plants traded at $77 to $77.50 US per hundredweight, up from $72.50 to $73 Feb. 28. The estimated pork cut-out value at plant for March 7 was $111.99 per cwt., up from $105.11 Feb. 28. U.S. federal slaughter to March 8 totalled 2.072 million, down 2.155 million the previous week. Slaughter totalled 2.198 million last year at the same point.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls with desirable weights reached $3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers sold up to $3.75. Quality 2013 bull calves weighing 400-500 lb. reached $2.45 per lb. live weight, and 500-600 lb. bulls reached $2.14. Heifers born in 2013 weighing 300400 lb. reached $2.10 per lb., and 400-500 lb. heifers reached $1.97 per lb. In light trade, 2012 bulls and heifers 800-900 lb. were $1.90-$1.95 per lb.

OPINION

CRAIG’S VIEW

Mandated carload targets long overdue step for feds

estern Canada’s $5 billion grain transportation mess is now five months old. On March 7, the federal government finally did something about it. Transport minister Lisa Raitt announced that an order in council will require Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to start moving a million tonnes of grain per week and provide 5,500 rail cars per company. If those requirements are not met, the government will impose $100,000 per day fines. The railways must also report to Raitt on weekly shipments. However, the government is giving the railways four weeks to ramp up to those numbers. It’s about time the government acted, and at the very least, the order shows the railways that it means business. That being said, there is no indication yet whether it is even possible to crank out that many rail cars, or whether farmers will ever see any compensation for lost sales. For anyone who is keeping track of this winter’s transportation disaster, the price tag of a failed agricultural economy includes lost and deferred sales, hungry livestock in British Columbia, demurrage costs at port and, on top of it all, lower grain prices. CP president Hunter Harrison has said his company has moved massive amounts of grain this year despite the cold weather, but the Western Grain Elevators Association’s numbers show that the railways delivered 51,000 fewer-than-ordered rail cars as of mid-February. Farm leaders, Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall, Liberal MP Ralph Goodale, NDP ag critic Malcolm Allen and Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson have called on the government for weeks to use its powers under the Canada Transportation Act to bring the railways to heel. Section 47 of the act states that the government may step in to “stabilize the national transportation system, including the imposition of capacity and pricing restraints” when “an extraordinary dis-

ruption to the effective continued operation of the national transportation system exists or is imminent.” Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz had been attempting the conversational approach, but apparently has finally thrown in the towel on negotiations. He does seem to realize that the emergency measures are only a start to solving the issues that have long plagued western Canadian grain transportation and have come to a dramatic head this year. He announced that the government is preparing draft legislation to solve the long-term issues plaguing western Canadian grain transportation. While he is at it, he should closely look at amendments to the new Fair Rail Freight Service Act proposed by the Coalition of Rail Shippers. The coalition includes almost every shipper in Canada, including coal, potash and other mineral producers. Every shipper in this country is in agreement on this, and the government must consider these amendments carefully. There are three important changes. One is that the act must define what constitutes service. Incredibly, this has never been done. The language regarding service in the act remains “suitable and adequate accommodation,” which is so vague as to mean nothing. The amendment clearly outlines service in five points, from timeliness to the quantity of rolling stock. Another change recommends a way to measure whether these obligations have been fulfilled. The other one deals with the consequences of not fulfilling them. Railways would have to directly compensate shippers for not fulfilling their contractual obligations, and an arbitrator would assist in determining the amounts. Hopefully, the government’s action is not too little, too late. Canada’s agricultural reputation is at stake. It doesn’t matter how wonderful our quality is if we cannot deliver. Bruce Dyck, Terry Fries, Barb Glen, D’Arce McMillan and Joanne Paulson collaborate in the writing of Western Producer editorials.

RAILWAYS | ORDER IN COUNCIL

The railways certainly have the capacity to deliver these numbers and more. I think what’s been lacking is the will to do it. The penalties that are put in place will be a very strong encouragement to them to improve their service.

CN will do its part to meet the challenge of moving this 100-year record grain crop. Our assessment shows that an upper limit of around 5,500 cars per week may be achievable, but only if all members of the supply chain work together closely.

From hay fields to Harvard, native prairie invades Ivy League COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

hen I was a high school graduate, the thought of going to an expensive eastern Ivy League school never crossed my mind. If it had crossed my mind, I’m sure I’d have chased the thought away from our modest and mortgaged ranch. I and my two siblings were the first

generation in our family to even have a chance at college. Dad left school and began work after the 10th grade, while Mom graduated high school but knew that was as far as she could go in her immigrant Norwegian family. Opportunities improved, as we hope they do. I eventually went, and graduated, from our state’s land grant university with two degrees. I finished both degrees in four years, more out of necessity than ambition, because I knew I couldn’t afford to go any longer. So I’m as surprised as anyone to be writing this column from Cambridge, Massachusetts as a student at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Granted, I’m only enrolled here for

six days while participating in a course on leadership. However, for the time being, I’m still a Harvard man, or, as some might say with a bit of an air and an accent, a “Haw-vawd mawn.” I associated with a lot of smart people this week. Some were teachers, some were my classmates from around the world. One was the spirit of a would-be cattle rancher who went to class here 135 years ago, Theodore Roosevelt. TR was a Harvard man, and his alma mater’s library has some rare pieces from the man who would be my country’s 26th president. The course I participated in involved 66 people from around the world, seeking insights on the notion of leading through chaos and

conflict with courage. We learned together, and we learned from each other. Australia, Indonesia, Tanzania, Bolivia, Spain, Denmark, Jamaica, Mexico and a dozen other countries entered the classroom with me. I made friends with a couple of men from Bahrain, learning much about their small country and its big turbulence in the Persian Gulf. The unrest and bloodshed and sectarian struggles were hardly known to me, living where I do half a world away in peace. Eating dinner next to one of the Bahrainis, I could see his mind was somewhere else. He was missing the wedding of his sister back home but receiving pictures on his phone. His two young daughters were in

the ceremony. I showed him a picture of my little girl and he smiled broadly and said, “ohhh, she is beautiful.” Yes, she really is, I agreed, beautiful like your girls. I don’t know what the future will hold for his family, or ours, but maybe, someday, his daughters and my daughter could come together at Harvard and compare photos of their children. They could walk to the library and think of cowboys and history, then walk forward together toward a future with less conflict but abundant in courage. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

Russia punches Ukraine’s breadbasket

CP president needs to focus on customers

BY ALAN GUEBERT

hen Russian president Vladimir Putin sent his nation’s armed but unmarked troops into the sovereign territory of Ukraine, he became the latest in a long line of Russian Little Big Men to punch Eurasia’s famed breadbasket in the gut. First came the imperial czars, then the revolutionary Bolsheviks and, right behind them and most brutally, Soviet leader Josef Stalin. And now, from those sinister shadows, springs Putin, often described as a 20th century thinker with a 19th century vision of empire living in a 21st century world. However, despite his big plans and small stature, Putin is no Stalin. Beginning in 1929, Stalin moved to impose collectivization on villagebased farmers called kulaks, or private landowners, in the big food-rich Ukraine, which had long served as a land and cultural bridge between Europe and Asia. Stalin was ruthlessly efficient. By 1932, 75 percent of all Ukrainian land was state owned and nearly all of its agricultural production exported east to Soviet cities. A year later, with most of the kulaks either murdered or exiled, many of the farms fell fallow and an estimated 25,000 people a day starved to death in the Ukraine. Historians estimate that three to five million Ukrainians died in Stalin’s years-long imposition of communist r ule. Relief came only through a military invasion by the 20th century’s other great genocidal madman, Adolf Hitler.

However, weak government institutions and even weaker, hugely corrupt government officials undermined every Ukrainian “reform” movement of the last 20 years. Each stumble opened the door a bit more for a newly emboldened, reconstituted Russia to reassert influence in its former satellite. Putin gladly, and quite recklessly, did just that earlier this month. But can this little, bare-chested

bear wrestler hold onto it in the face of international condemnation, a structurally weak Russian economy and enormous pressure from the foreign investors who have bet big on Ukraine’s agricultural industry? Probably not, but it won’t be for lack of trying. It will be because the cost of doing so will be too steep to the Russian economy and the oligarchs who all but manage and, quite literally, own it. If Putin’s grab costs them too many rubles, euros and dollars in oil, natural gas, phosphate, wheat, iron, corn and military goods, he will drop Ukraine just before the oligarchs drop him.

In the meantime, U.S.-based Big Ag Biz and American farmers will have a sweaty spring. Each group has much at stake on Putin’s next move. As reported by Reuters shortly after Russian soldiers appeared in Ukrainian territory, global grain companies have invested heavily in the farming future of this former agricultural titan. Bunge Ltd. paid $100 million for a Ukrainian port in 2011, Archer Daniels Midland owns Ukrainian elevators, port facilities and an oilseed crushing plant, and last December, Cargill bought a quarter interest in a Black Sea port. The big boys have been dropping big cash on Ukrainian agricultural infrastructure because the troubled nation’s farms and farmers are again moving their vast production into global markets. Darin Newsom, DTN’s senior market analyst, put that rise in perspective March 4. Ukraine is the world’s No. 3 exporter of corn and wheat, Newsom wrote. He said the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast in February that the country will export 730 million bu. of corn this year, compared to 1.6 billion bu. by the United Sates, and 367 million bu. of wheat, compared to 1.2 billion bu. by the U.S. That’s a lot of groceries. More importantly, however, is whether global grain buyers view Ukraine as a reliable supplier now that Russia has, again, suckerpunched it. Would you, given that the answer swings on the mood swings of Vladimir Putin? Yeah, this is going to get interesting. Alan Guebert is an Illinois-based agricultural commentator.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION | RAILWAY EFFICIENCY

Let’s use this transportation crisis to improve HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

eldom has so much attention been focused on grain transportation. Never has a government been so prescriptive in deanding the railways pull up their socks within a relatively short time. However, the real test will come in the legislation promised when the House of Commons returns from its two-week recess. Properly structured, that legislation, along with associated regulatory provisions, will hopefully lay the groundwork for improved railway performance in the medium and long term. In the past, powerful railway lobbying has turned well-intentioned legislation into largely useless provi-

sions that fail to address the needs of shippers. No one is swallowing the railway excuses. Canadian Pacific Railway’s Hunter Harrison issued an open letter the day before the federal government’s order in council claiming that adding more cars to the system when it’s congested is exactly the wrong thing to do. “It is like adding more cars to a highway at rush hour: everything moves that much slower,” wrote Harrison. The analogy doesn’t hold because the system isn’t congested. Port terminals would love to have more cars to unload. The grain just isn’t getting there. The railways simply haven’t dedicated enough locomotives, rail cars and people. Yes, they’ve been hampered by a cold winter. If they need to reduce train lengths in the cold, that just means they need more locomotives and more qualified employees. The railways aren’t being required to do anything extraordinary. They each have four weeks to ramp up to

rail car unloads of 5,500 per week, which they themselves have said is doable. Even then, a glut of grain will remain on the farm when the next crop needs to be harvested and stored. Spring will bring its own challenges. The railways will be ramping up their activity just as road ban season makes it difficult, and in some cases nearly impossible, for grain to move off the farm and into terminals. More than ever, producers will need to find ways to haul grain while in the midst of seeding. It should also be noted that the required movement may have unintended consequences because the minimum volumes are not corridor specific. Typically, there is a longer car cycle time on shipments sent south to or through the United States. Worried only about their total movement, the railways will have little incentive to service southern routes. As well, there has been little or no winter rail movement around Thunder Bay to ports on the St. Lawrence

Seaway. The railways have concentrated on movement to the West Coast at the expense of eastern and southern corridors and it appears that will continue. Many in the grain industry say the railways have been cherry picking the easy movements from Alberta locations to Vancouver and Prince Rupert in an effort to show better numbers. These are all issues the pending legislation should address. Setting movement requirements is a great start, but it may be necessary to set minimum requirements for each transportation corridor. It will also be important to have timely and accurate information on each cog of the transportation system so that regulators know exactly what’s happening. The federal government has a historical opportunity to make a real difference in grain transportation efficiency. Let’s not waste this crisis.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

unter Harrison, leader of the Canadian Pacific Railway, published a full page explanation of his company’s service problems in the Globe and Mail and the National Post last week. It probably cost him a pretty penny, not that that matters. With the amount of money CP (and Canadian National Railway), are raking in, the cost of a full page ad or two equals a drop in the bucket. Clearly he was trying to soothe the feelings of investors on Bay Street, where the Globe and Post are in sufficient supply. It’s a little harder getting a copy on Main Street, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. So far, I haven’t seen the ad published in The Western Producer or the Manitoba Co-operator. It’s a matter of choosing your audience. Who is more important? The suit on Bay Street or a prairie farmer trying to get his grain to port? To Mr. Harrison, the answer seems obvious. He would rather preach to the choir. Here’s an open invitation for Mr. Harrison to submit his explanation to this newspaper. Ads are nice, but if he would like to send me a letter, I will publish it, for free, so farmers can see it. He does make something of a point about the weather. Certainly it has been the coldest winter in parts of the Prairies in either 30 or 50 years, depending on how you interpret weather records. Cold weather absolutely brings challenges, and some of the railway staff must have been cursing every minute they were out in the - 30 C temperatures. Additionally, the entire system is a mess. Someone has to hire a quarterback to sort out the logistics from farmgate to tidewater, or we will see this disorganization over and over again. But Harrison disingenuously says it’s too late to add more rail cars and locomotives now that the system is seriously backlogged. He should have thought of that four months ago, when it was clear that a disaster was looming. Indeed, many farmers would likely put a big part of the blame for this year’s rail-to-port situation on Mr. Harrison. This is largely fair. He was the author of change at CN in the past, and CP in the present. This means fewer locomotives, fewer jobs and less service in a bumper crop environment. Farmers deserve much better than that.

The Feb. 20 grain transportation edition included the suggestion that the solution to the grain transportation woes was to “kick butt” in the train and grain sectors. I would propose that the usual reaction to “butt kicking” is to kick back, but only much harder. We are not dealing with small fry here and the “kick back” may have some unintended consequences. What worked in the past was coordination and co-operation. How else to explain the incidence of a few years ago when the Canadian Wheat Board arranged to have grain shipped

out of flood-prone Manitoba first? How about the many instances when certain types and grades of grain were needed at the coast to fill an order but they were only available in certain parts of the Prairies? Who would make the arrangements with the present system? Grain company employees are there to maximize the profits for their company and no one else. How would anything be accomplished by butt kicking? Whether we like it or not, grain transportation has to be a coordinated, co-operative operation. I do agree that some butt kicking is in order, but I would suggest that should be done at the next federal election when the present govern-

ing party is kicked out in favour of one that is not hamstrung by ideology and is prepared to look at all options for improving this dysfunctional system. The present bunch will not change their approach because they would first have to admit that they were wrong and, as the kids say, “that ain’t gonna happen.” Horst Schreiber, Ohaton, Alta.

CROWNS FOR SALE To the Editor: Why does (Saskatchewan) premier

(Brad) Wall really want to open the Crown Corporation Ownership Act? Is it really just to sell Casino Regina and Moose Jaw to the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, or are more crown corporations on Wall’s chopping block? After all, he has already drained every cent that he can from the crowns, forcing them to borrow for needed upgrades. Could it be the fact that the Wall government has taken $135 million out of its rainy day fund to “balance” its recent budget? Regina and Moose Jaw Casinos have about $78 million in assets and generate $135 million in revenues annually. Yet Wall is willing to sell off the whole package for between $100 and $200 million. A smart business move — I don’t think so. So, let’s ask ourselves, is it because the sale is going to benefit First Nations or is it simply that Wall wants to do away with the 90-day public hearing process in order to set up other crowns for sale?

In the Saskatchewan wheat and barley commission elections, farmers have rejected (agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz’s poster children candidates. Cherilyn Nagel Jolly, who seemed glued to the minister’s side when he was killing the single desk of the Canadian Wheat Board … was not able to win a seat on the wheat commission, even though she was handpicked and appointed by the (Brad) Wall (provincial) government as the commission’s interim chair. Her counterpart in the barley commission, fellow Western Canadian Wheat Grower Association member Bill Cooper, did not run in the barley election but his desired candidates did not get elected either. Even though he also was handpicked by the Wall government as an interim appointed director for the barley commission, Ritz’s number two cheerleader, Gerrid Gust, was not able to garner enough farmer votes to get elected either. It would appear that premier Wall may have to question his deputy agriculture minister’s choice of candidates. If this former WCWGA member thought these were the people that farmers supported, she was dead wrong. Not one of the appointed directors was able to get elected by farmers. It’s interesting what happens when you give farmers the ability to vote and elect their own directors and direction. Too bad there weren’t more opportunities for farmers to vote on the direction agriculture has taken in the past few years. Kyle Korneychuk, Pelly, Sask.

RITZ EPIPHANY UNLIKELY To the Editor: Perhaps in his travels, one day soon, on a lonely section of snow swept highway, (agriculture minister) Gerry Ritz will have an epiphany. He will realize that the Rocky Mountains have always been there and winter is an annual event. Perhaps he will remember that every year when winter in the Rockies turns highways and railways to winter hell, the grain movement slows.... And with the coming of spring, not only does life quicken but backlogs

are made good and all is well with the world again. But wait, this time is different. There is not only a record grain crop, but there is no farmers’ wheat board to co-ordinate everything. Ships and costly demurrage charges are piling up as the wrong grain arrives to meet the wrong ship. Since that is the problem, adding more cars and more trains, unfortunately, will only increase congestion in Vancouver. What to do? Ritz could force the elevator companies to report to him, and his department could take on the role of coordinator. But wait, Ritz doesn’t have those 15,000 government hopper cars at his command anymore. He gave them away to the railways. Besides that, having state control over grain movement smacks of socialism, just like the system so many of our competitors and customers have. That would never play well with either the Conservatives’ voter base

nor their corporate friends. Anyway, since Ritz is unlikely to have any such epiphany and since the wheat board is unlikely to be brought back, farmers, it looks like you are on your own. Don’t you just love “marketing freedom?” Tom Shelstad, Swift Current, Sask.

Not to you, maybe, but to those who left condolence messages, this 46-year-old was someone special: • “A loyal and good friend, who was not only very much liked, but greatly respected for his sense of fairness, diligence, good humour and decency....” • “He was a giant amongst men, a true gentleman and an unfaltering, loyal friend...” • “The story that you left behind was one of integrity, honesty, hard work, great humour, passion and compassion.” Yes, he mattered to a lot of people. Here was a very experienced farm worker who succumbed to a predictable and very preventable workplace tragedy. Alberta legislation prevents us from learning from his death, and

his death w ill not be included in Alberta fatalities for 2014. In fact, the RCMP told me this sudden death was not reportable to anyone. The RCMP did a criminal investigation at the site of the tragedy, but they told me they aren’t competent to do a workplace investigation so they didn’t. They called Occupational Health and Safety, but OHS isn’t allowed to do a farm fatality investigation…. Yes, even on Alberta farms, there is a legal duty for all persons directing work to take “reasonable steps” to ensure the safety of workers. This worker was here and now he’s gone.

Female voices are missing SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

ur understanding of the world can be quite different when seen through women’s eyes, but the female point of view is absent in too many pulpits. Men tell the story of the relationship of the 11th century theologian Abelard and the prioress Heloise as a tragedy. Women tell the same story as a beautiful love story. Men give the woman spoken about at the end of the Book of Proverbs the status of someone’s wife. Women would call this same person a woman of distinction, capable because of her own virtues. Women play a leading role in many ways in our society — Supreme Court justices, provincial premiers, educators and theologians — yet I visit multiple church services where male clergy never make reference to stories attributed to women. These days women are looking for ways they can nurture their spirits and are not satisfied with having to translate examples from the male domain. Men in the pew are also deprived. Many of them have assumed major roles in homemaking and child-rearing. They are trying to be inclusive. They could use help with thinking about righting the economic, social and political injustices women face. International Monetar y Fund director Christine Lagarde points out that in the 21st century, “when we don’t let women contribute (to their potential) we end up lowering the standards of everyone.” If the two-thirds of the congregation who are women don’t feel appreciated for who they really are, maybe they should step back from their care-giving role in the church and see what happens. Opportunity is given to bring the male and female ways of understanding into balance. Let’s be sure to encourage all the flock in this regard.

New pig code requires group housing in all new barns Producer groups support document | New rules will require sows and gilts to be housed in groups or in stalls when provided exercise BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Gradual moves toward open hog housing and mandatory pain control for some procedures are among more than 100 requirements contained in the new code of practice for hog production. The National Farm Animal Care Council released the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs March 6. It was later than originally scheduled, partly because of discussions and controversy regarding the use of sow gestation stalls and farrowing crates.

The industry had been working on the code since October 2010. Florian Possberg, the Saskatchewan hog producer who chaired the 17-person committee that developed the code, called it “a significant step forward for the Canadian industry.” However, hog producers must now consider the cost of complying with the requirements, and in several cases they have been given time to do so. New and renovated hog barns must have group housing for pregnant sows and gilts, with some provision for temporary use of stalls immediately after breeding as long as they are large enough for animals to stand

without touching the sides or top. By July 1, 2024, bred sows and gilts must be housed in groups or pens or stalls, although they must be able to periodically exercise in the stalls. Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak said that provision means producers won’t necessarily have to modify their barns, but they will have to determine the parameters of periodic exercise for their pigs. “There really is no wording in there that says that we’ll have to change the physical layout of the barn,” said Novak, although he acknowledged new barns will be required to have group housing.

tices. What we’re disappointed in is that farmers were not willing to outright end the use of them.” Novak said disappointment on all sides isn’t a surprise. “By definition, since the process was … based on consultation and consensus, you could be sure that everybody would go away being disappointed about something,” he said. The potential cost of implementing code requirements has been a producer concern throughout the development process. Cartwright said the CFHS supports spending federal money to help producers move to open housing. Manitoba Pork chair Karl Kynoch said producers in that province support the code and are “fully committed to the adoption of group housing systems for our sows and gilts in all new constructions.” The Canadian Pork Council echoed that view in its own news release. The sow housing controversy has prompted many food companies to establish policies requiring their pork to come from operations that don’t use stalls and crates. McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s and Tim Hortons are among the restaurant chains that have mandated the switch, attributing it to consumer desires. Novak said consumers have to do their part now that producers are meeting those desires. “Now we need you to actually support us by making sure that you’re buying our product,” he said.

The Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs, which was officially released March 6, contains requirements and recommendations in six categories: housing and handling facilities; feed and water; animal health; husbandry practices; transportation; and euthanasia. Among the requirements: • As of July 1, new or rebuilt hog barns must house pregnant sows and gilts in groups. Individual stalls can be used up to 28 days after breeding and another seven days to manage grouping. • As of July 1, new and replacement stalls must be large enough for sows to stand without touching the sides or top bars. • As of July 1, 2024, pregnant gilts and sows must be provided “greater freedom of movement,” which might be group housing, individual pens or stalls if periodic exercise is allowed. • A specific minimum amount of space per weaned, grower or finisher pig must be provided, based on a calculation of body weight and body surface area. • Anesthetic and pain relief must be provided when castrating pigs older than 10 days. • Effective July 1, 2016, anesthetic and pain relief must be provided when docking tails or castrating pigs of any age. • Pigs must now be provided with multiple forms of “enrichment,” which may include cloth strips, rubber, straw dispensers and/or toys in their pens. • Euthanasia must be done quickly in a way that causes the least possible pain and distress.

Official unsure if more rail cars will work Maximum capacity | Railways should move grain cars more quickly, says Quorum president

REGINA BUREAU

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Cold weather, a new marketing environment and a huge crop all affected western Canadian grain movement this winter, says Mike Jubinville, a markets analyst and president of ProFarmer Canada. However, that doesn’t excuse poor performance by the railways, he told farmers at a Farm Credit Canada event in Moose Jaw March 4. He said the railways were not adequately prepared for the new reality. The system worked almost flawlessly in 2012, he said. “This year, holy moly.” He said the CWB’s single desk system allowed it sell a regular amount of grain almost every month, which in turn allowed the railways to plan accordingly. Last summer the grain trade was aggressive in heavy forward contracting. “I don’t think there was enough of the left hand knowing what the right hand was doing,” he said. Logistics were not properly worked out. He pointed to the most recent quarterly statement from Canadian National Railway that said it had sidelined 400 locomotives and leased some to BNSF in the United States. He said pulling power wasn’t adequate to begin with, and the problem was compounded by the addition of crude oil, which makes more money per unit train than grain does. He said railway executives have been hiding because “they know they blew it big time.” Pressure from politicians and farm organizations has to be kept up to achieve the long-term solution the industry needs, Jubinville said. “We can’t afford to be doing this every other year that we happen to have a big crop and cold weather.”

The company that monitors rail performance and grain movement for the federal government says putting more grain cars on Canadian rail lines will not guarantee better service. In fact, it will probably have the opposite effect. “Don’t think that by throwing a whole bunch of rail cars at this situation that you’re going to fix it because you won’t,” said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp. “In all likelihood, if you try to do that, it will restrict movement because you’ll congest the system.” Farmers who are desperately seeking ways to move more grain off the Prairies are asking questions about the size of the grain car fleet in Western Canada. Canadian Pacific Railway president Hunter Harrison issued an open letter to the public last week, offering the company’s view on rail performance and constraints in the grain supply chain. He said putting more hopper cars on the rail system would do nothing to improve grain deliveries. “Some have called for CP to add more rail cars and locomotives,” Harrison wrote. “Adding more cars to the system when it is congested and being negatively impacted by weather is exactly the wrong thing to do. It is like adding more cars to a highway at rush hour — everything moves slower.” Hemmes offered a similar view, suggesting fleet size is not the best way to measure capacity. “Capacity is gained not just by throwing rail cars at the problem,” he said. “Capacity is gained, and probably

Estimates of the size of the western Canadian rail car fleet vary from 15,000 to 30,000. | more efficiently gained, by moving cars faster.” Hemmes said it’s difficult to track the size of the grain car fleet now in service in Western Canada. “That’s a black art,” he said. “There’s a portion of both fleets that will cycle back and forth into the United States … so trying to fix a solid number to it is difficult.” Other railway analysts have said some cars that are still part of the fleet

have been parked temporarily. They are not technically in use but are available and can be returned to active service if the railways deem it necessary. Industry observers estimate the size of the western Canadian fleet as low as 15,000 cars, while others put the number as high as 25,000 to 30,000. Recent changes to the Grain Monitoring Program are expected to give grain shippers a more accurate read

Various organizations own the current hopper car fleet, including the Government of Canada, CWB, the Saskatchewan Grain Car Corp. and the Government of Alberta. The railway companies also own and lease cars, but there are no public figures denoting fleet sizes.

POTATOES | DISEASE

Blight from backyards threatens field crops Late blight control | Potato industry officials believe disease can be managed if gardeners grow resistant tomato varieties BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Controlling late blight in Alberta potato fields may lie in the hands of backyard gardeners. Most commercial potato growers know about the dangers of the devastating disease. But many backyard gardeners are unaware that their infected tomatoes and potatoes can spread disease for 100 kilometres on the wind and wipe out entire fields of commercial potatoes. “A lot of inoculum originates from backyard gardens,” said Agriculture Canada pathologist Larry Kawchuk. He said encouraging home gardeners to grow late blight resistant varieties of tomatoes will help commercial potato growers eliminate the disease. “In Alberta, we have a real opportunity to eradicate this pathogen from the province,” Kawchuk said during a late blight meeting hosted by Potato Growers of Alberta. Late blight, which caused the Irish potato famine 150 years ago, has become a serious threat to Alberta potato growers, backyard gardeners and market gardens. It was brought to the province in 2011 through infected tomato plants brought into box store garden centres from the United States.

JEREMY CARTER POTATO GROWERS OF ALBERTA

Late blight, which has affected commercial potato producers in Alberta, was brought to Alberta in 2011 in tomato plants. | FILE PHOTO “I am very confident (backyard gardens) are playing a role in this particular strain of late blight,” said Kawchuk, referring to US 23, a dominant strain of late blight in Canada and the United States. Jeremy Carter, technical director for Potato Growers of Alberta, said they are hoping to work with garden centres and greenhouses to raise awareness of the disease and help reduce the spread of infection in potato fields. He said late blight wiped out most

of the tomatoes and potatoes in the small town of Barnwell last July, where he lives. “The gardens just fell over by the end of July.” The first sign of late blight is usually black lesions on the leaves and stems of tomato and potato plants. Eggplant, peppers, petunias and weeds such as nightshade are other sources of late blight. Gardeners who don’t know what is wrong with their plants often leave them in the garden, hoping for a crop.

The infected plants go into the compost pile at the end of the season, where the disease is allowed to continue as a source of infection. Ron Pidskalny said his tomato plants “melted” in his Edmonton garden last summer. “This is one of the worst diseases in the world, in the history of plants,” said Pidskalny, who wants pesticide labels changed to help protect plants from the disease. Kawchuk said “melting” is an accurate description of what happens to the plants under ideal disease conditions with high moisture. “You will look at the field in the evening and there will be a lot of the necrotic lesions, and you will say, ‘oh, I have a problem.’ You will go out the next day and there are sticks. There are no leaves left on the stem, just a black slime.” The disease can melt a potato field

in 24 hours in places like Prince Edward Island and parts of British Columbia where moisture levels are high. “If it rained, rained, rained like it did in Ireland, we would be melting potato fields,” he said. “We don’t have any cases like that. Alberta guys don’t know how lucky they are.” Alberta’s generally drier weather conditions, along with fungicides, help slow and control the disease. Late blight requires a virulent pathogen, a susceptible host and a conducive environment to flourish. The organism can also overwinter in seed potatoes, cull piles or volunteer plants growing in other crops. Kawchuk plans to install air monitoring equipment this year in key locations around the province to detect late blight pathogens in the air. Once it is detected, he will use a combination of wind pattern analysis and hand-held detection equipment to locate the exact source of the spores. He encourages gardeners to grow late blight resistant tomato varieties such as Defiant, Mountain Magic, Mountain Merit and Iron Lady. There are no known resistant late blight genes in potatoes, although some older heirloom varieties, such as Stirling, have better resistance to late blight.

OBESITY | DIET

FOOD PROCESSING | SALT, SUGAR, FAT

Saying no to the combo controls portion

The processed food trap Health hazards | Mix of ingredients encourages overconsumption, consumer dependency

BY ED WHITE

BY RON FRIESEN

WINNIPEG BUREAU

FREELANCE WRITER

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Consumers who want to fend off obesity don’t need to micromanage their proportion or type of carbohydrates, fats and protein, says eating behaviour expert Jim Painter. They just need to control their calories, he told the Canola Council of Canada’s recent annual convention. However, food companies have made that hard for most people. “We get fooled by portion,” said Painter, an Eastern Illinois University researcher who made the Portion Size Me documentary, in which he demonstrated that people can lose weight even if they eat a lot of fast food, as long as they watch their calorie intake. “We lose track of the amount of food we’re eating.” Painter said most consumers don’t realize that fast food companies have greatly increased the size of most of the meals they serve from a few decades ago. A burger, fries and pop now contain hundreds more calories, but most people still feel compelled to finish what’s put in front of them, he said. And remarkably, some people don’t actually feel fuller or unpleasantly full, even if they eat enormous amounts, because the psychological drive to finish a meal appears to create the feeling of fullness rather than the size of the food in the stomach. Painter described various experiments he has conducted in which soup bowls are secretly refilled while test subjects are eating, or meals that are served on smaller or larger plates. He said the tests demonstrated how the impression created about the amount of food consumed is a key determinant to how full or satisfied a person becomes. Unfortunately, the extra calories in most of today’s restaurant meals and food packages and the human propensity to eat a full meal mean most people are getting fat. “We lose track of the amount of food we’re eating,” said Painter. “Just say no to (the) combo.”

WINNIPEG — Companies that engineer the contents of processed food are behind the obesity epidemic sweeping North America, said the author of Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us. Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Michael Moss, who spoke at the Growing Local food conference in Winnipeg in February, said food manufacturers calibrate processed food using salt, sugar and fat to hook people on their products and encourage overconsumption. As a result, the average American consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar and 8,500 milligrams of salt each day, far above the recommended amount. One-third of U.S. adults and 20 percent of children are clinically obese. About 26 million Americans have diabetes, with the economic cost in health care estimated close to $300 billion a year. Moss pins much of the blame on the U.S. food industry, whose sales total $1 trillion annually. Moss, a reporter with The New York Times, began researching his book in 2008 after an outbreak of salmonella from contaminated peanuts traced to a plant in Georgia killed eight people and hospitalized hundreds more. He discovered that health hazards from food containing combinations of salt, sugar and fat designed to create consumer dependency were even more dangerous than contaminated food. Moss said processors use a combination of chemistry, physics and neuroscience to create an allure for their products. Processors use terms such as “snack-ability,” “crave-ability” and “more-ishness” to describe attempts to make products as desirable as possible. The “bliss point” is the exact amount of sweetness that makes food and beverages most enjoyable. “Mouth feel” is the way a product interacts with the inside of a person’s mouth to produce a craving for it. Moss said food companies know the social impact their products and marketing strategies are having and

Food companies add salt, sugar and fat to their foods to improve taste, but it is contributing to higher obesity rates. | FILE PHOTO some scientists and food executives tell him they don’t eat their own products because of health concerns. At the same time, food giants are out to maximize profits for shareholders and are unlikely to promote anti-obesity campaigns, even though their advertisements stress healthy food choices. Moss cited changes on the horizon, noting how executives at Phillip Morris, America’s largest food company as well as its biggest tobacco producer, are now urging

food managers to be careful and avoid the public relations disaster t h a t o c c u r re d w h e n t h e l i n k between tobacco and poor health was finally proven. “The clock is ticking on these companies, having been informed by their own,” he said. Rick Holley, a University of Manitoba food scientist, said Moss’s book informs people about how processors manipulate eating habits. “These companies, with the full knowledge that there are negative

effects to what they are doing, persist in doing it. This is where I think Michael Moss’s point is extremely valid, relevant and important,” Holley said. The increasing popularity of the locally-grown food movement sends a message to food giants that public opinion is starting to turn against them, he said. “It should be taken by large food industry players to mean there is something in the wind and they’d better stand up and take note.”

COMMUNITY SUPPORT | ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Small town gift shop delivers the goods Personal service | Business owners cater to decorating trends and budgets BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROSETOWN, Sask. — A steady stream of female customers stroll into the gift and decor boutique on Rosetown’s wide Main Street this snowy winter’s day. Shelley Cutler gathers up prizes for staff activities on Valentine’s Day while Reta Markham searches for a get well card for a relative. Wild Oats offers a little bit of everything for shoppers, they agree. “I don’t just go in for the cards. I love the store,” said Markham, who prefers shopping here in her own town. Cutler, the support services coordinator at the Rosetown Health Centre hospital, bought boxes of tea, heart earrings and a wine tumbler. “I go in there all the time,” she said. “They’ve got unique things if you’re looking for something different.” Providing a bit of everything is the goal of boutique owners Pam Copeland and Lisa Jagow. Both are farm wives and mothers from Elrose, Sask., who were looking for new challenges when they bought the building three years ago. “If there’d been two other gift stores in town, it wouldn’t have been smart to do it,” said Copeland. Their efforts were rewarded when the readers of Prairies North magazine voted it the best gift shop in Saskatchewan last year. Admittedly, their personal and professional lives are sometimes a delicate balancing act. Harvest time is Copeland’s biggest challenge, while tax season is most stressful for Jagow, whose husband is an accountant. They get help from three part-time staff to run the store. The partners face the challenges of doing business just an hour’s drive from Saskatoon by offering an eclectic array of goods, changing store displays regularly and keeping aisles wide enough for strollers. “We have to try and keep people interested,” said Jagow. The building, which dates back to 1912 and has housed everything from appliances to food, sports a tin ceiling and features items grouped

together by category and colour to keep customers from becoming overwhelmed. Waning trends and poor sellers move out at discounted prices. “Stuff doesn’t hang around long,” said Copeland. They bring in trendy items, such as products with mustaches, foxes and owls, and try to appeal to their customers’ budgets. “We’re not afraid to try,” said Copeland. “We have tried to hit a lot of different price points for everybody.” They say they’ve had steady growth since they opened more than two years ago, with Christmas 2012 being a high point. “Costco brings out Christmas in August so if we don’t have it out by October, people are buying elsewhere,” said Copeland. T h e y d r a w o n e a c h o t h e r ’s strengths: Jagow’s in design and Copeland’s in organization. “I’m the creative, she’s the brilliant,” said Jagow.

The partners travel to trade shows each year to buy goods at wholesale prices. They also buy advertising with the local radio station and newspaper. Most of their customers are women, aged 30 and up, and come from the Rosetown district. Their policy is to greet each customer within 15 seconds of entering

TRAVEL | GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE

Northern excursion gets seal of approval TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

louds of snow swirl around us like a blizzard as the five helicopters rev up their engines. We lift off into the clear sky, rising above the red cliffs of Quebec’s Magdalen Islands before heading out to sea. We soon lose sight of land as we fly above the icy Gulf of St. Lawrence. Below us lies nothing but water and ice, the floes artistically arranged in an abstract seascape of white and blue. Forty minutes after takeoff, we swoop over a mass of pack ice a half kilometre across and glimpse what visitors from around the world come to see: resplendent white, newborn harp seal pups perfectly camouflaged among the chunks of snow and ice, their soft fur and black saucer-like eyes now an international symbol for cuteness. Summering near the eastern Arctic islands, harps are among the more abundant seals in the world, with more than five million in Canadian waters alone. Come September, they begin migrating southward, with one large herd staying near Newfoundland

and the other heading into the Gulf of St. Lawrence near the Magdalen Islands, just north of Prince Edward Island. They give birth here around the end of February and early March. Outside the helicopter, we strap crampons on our boots to minimize slipping and grip ski poles for stability as we carefully pick our way across this exotic frozen world in the middle of the sea. Walking among the mothers and babies, we spy pups nursing, though many have been left on their own while their moms are away feeding. Most pups are quiet, but across the ice floe we hear constant, plaintive, high-pitched cries of “maaaa, maaaa” that sound part human and part bleating lamb. Now and then a mother seal pops its head up through an air hole in the ice, takes a quick look around and then dives back in. While photographing one baby seal, we’re startled as its mother suddenly shoots up from an air hole and thumps across the ice behind us with frightening speed. It goes straight to its baby without bothering us, but it becomes apparent that getting close to a mother is not a good idea. This mothering instinct is fleeting among harp seals, and the pups are expected to grow up quickly. Their distinctive white coats last less than two weeks. During this time, they nurse on milk that is 10 times richer than that of cows. Twelve to 14 days after giving birth to 10-kilogram pups, the mothers abandon these seemingly helpless

The highlight is getting right up to the pups, which, for the most part, are either inquisitive or completely ignore us. One rolls over like a dog.

nose and a few whiskers stuck on one end. It appears relaxed as it looks up at us with those enormous eyes and allows us to touch its soft fur. We can’t help thinking that when it comes to getting close to wildlife, this ranks right up there with great wildlife excursions anywhere in the world, but with one big difference. On most trips the rule is, “look but don’t touch.”

Here, we can not only approach the baby white coats but also touch and pet them. Biologists say petting the baby seals does them no harm.

Soothing soups from around the globe COUNTRY KITCHEN

oup warms and nurtures and making it gives me the feeling that I am really taking care of my family. Soup usually starts with a mirepoix, a French name for a combination of onions, carrots and celery that is sauteed and used to add flavour and

aroma to stocks, sauces and soups. After that, it’s as easy as adding stock, vegetables, protein and spices for comfort food in a bowl. If a creamy texture is wanted without adding too many high fat ingredients, try pureeing cooked vegetables and stock. Add lower fat milk rather then whole or cream milk. I often slightly puree vegetable soups, sometimes to slip in vegetables my husband doesn’t like. The best way to puree soup is with a hand held immersion blender. That avoids the fuss of transferring hot soup to a food processor or blender and allows more control of the texture. Adding a garnish provides another layer of flavour and texture. Think

opposites, such as crunchy on smooth (croutons on a creamed soup), smooth on chunky (sour cream on borscht), salty on sweet (peanuts on Thai Soup) or cool on hot (sour cream on a spicy Mexican soup). Quick garnishes include croutons, a dollop of sour cream or pesto, grated cheese, crumbled feta cheese or bacon, chopped chives or other herbs, crushed potato or tortilla chips or even silvered almonds. I often start with a recipe or two and tweak until it’s perfect for my tastes. Here are five soups that I have tweaked. Every time I make them, I add different vegetables and protein depending on what I have on hand.

CHICKEN THAI SOUP This is one of my favourite soups. I switch up the proteins and sometimes make it without meat. If I don’t have mushrooms, I add cauliflower, sweet potato or squash. I love the depth of flavour that the red chili paste adds but you can use red pepper flakes or a hot pepper sauce like Sriracha. 1 tbsp. 1 c. 1 c. 1 c. 1 c. 2 tsp. 4 c. 1 tbsp. 1 tsp. 1 tsp. 1 tsp. 4 c. 1 can 1/4 c. 1 – 2 tbsp. 1 tbsp. 1 tbsp. 1/2 tsp. 1/4 tsp. 1 lb.

In a large stockpot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, pepper and garlic. Saute until the vegetables soften, about five minutes. Add mushrooms, ginger, cumin, coriander, and curry powder. Cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. If desired, use an immersion blender to slightly puree the soup. Stir in peanut butter, red chili paste, brown sugar and lime juice.

FARM LIVING VIETNAMESE VERMICELLI RICE BOWL Technically, this is not a soup but it does go in a bowl and it is comfort food to me. Instead of bean sprouts, I used micro greens from a local greenhouse, Lower Shannon Farms. For a more substantial meal, add chopped strips of leftover chicken, beef, pork or shrimp. Noodle Sauce: 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar 2 tbsp. fish sauce 1 tbsp. lime juice 1 tbsp. water 1 tbsp. granulated sugar 2 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Diakon radish 60 mL 1/4 c. each finely chopped cilantro and basil 60 mL 1/4 c. crushed peanuts 60 mL To make noodle sauce, whisk together vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, water, sugar, garlic and red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute until softened and lightly brown, about six minutes. Using a heat proof slotted spoon, remove onion to a paper-lined dish. Set shallot oil to one side. In heatproof bowl, cover vermicelli noodles with boiling water and soak until tender, about five to 10 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and return to bowl. Toss with one to two tablespoons (15 30 mL) of the reserved shallot oil. You should have about two cups (500 mL) of vermicelli noodles after soaking. To assemble the vermicelli bowl, divide lettuce and sprouts between four bowls. Top with vermicelli noodles and then cooked shallots. Then arrange cucumber, carrot, peppers or radish, cilantro or Thai basil or mint, and peanuts. Before serving, add three to four tablespoons (45 – 60 mL) of sauce. Yields four servings.

AVGOLEMONO (GREEK LEMON RICE) SOUP My Uncle Frank gave me one of my first cookbooks, which included Avgolemono soup and started me off on trying to perfect this recipe. I am loyal to traditional recipes that include only chicken stock, eggs, lemons, orzo or rice and pepper. I use eggs to thicken rather then cornstarch but I also add onions, garlic, lemon zest and sometimes dill for added flavour. 2 tbsp. canola oil 30 mL 1/2 lb. boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces 250 g 1/2 c. green onions, thinly sliced 125 mL 1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced 6 c. chicken broth 1.5 L 1/4 c. lemon juice (preferably fresh) 60 mL 3 eggs 2 c. cooked orzo or rice 500 mL 1/2 tsp. lemon zest 2 mL 2 tbsp. lemon juice (preferably fresh) 30 mL 1/4 c. chopped dill or flat leaf (Italian) parsley 60 mL 1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 5 mL

In a skillet, saute chicken in oil until just about cooked. Add onion and garlic and cook until chicken is cooked. In a large stockpot, heat broth until simmering. Separate eggs. Place egg whites in a non-reactive, heatproof mixing bowl and beat using the balloon whisk attachment on the mixer. Whisk until frothy and the volume increases by several times. Continue whisking and add egg yolks, then slowly add in 1/4 cup (60 mL) lemon juice. The egg mixture will have lost some volume and will be a light yellow colour. Gradually add a ladleful of hot chicken broth to the egg mixture, continuing to whisk all the time. Add a second ladleful in the same way. Return the egg broth mixture to the soup, whisking continuously. Add cooked chicken, rice lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper. Stir and heat for two minutes. Do not bring to a boil or the eggs will curdle. The soup may be foamy so keeping stirring. Serve warm with chopped green onion or dill. If reheating the soup the next day, check the flavour and add more lemon juice if necessary. Yields eight servings.

FARM LIVING

WP ANNIVERSARY | 90 YEARS

Readers kept informed about changing farm lifestyles TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

h e Western Producer’s Farm Living section has had many names since 1923 but the primar y focus has always been to inform, educate and entertain readers while helping improve their quality of life. In the Sept. 27, 1923 issue, an article

encouraged women to participate in a survey of rural homes to assess the standard of living in rural areas. Successive issues revealed that many rural homes lacked a reliable and easily accessible source of clean water and indoor running water was rare. Many homes were small, cold and sparsely furnished. The prices that farmers received for their products were poor and often fluctuated, resulting in limited cash flow and lack of food for rural families. Many children were undernourished because of a lack of milk and vegetables. There were inconsistencies in the availability of rural schools, teachers and reading materials. In 1922, only

The Mainly for Women section initially included news and reports from the Women’s Grain Growers’ Association (WGGA), ranging from education

to health care to immigration. Violet McNaughton, a farmer and feminist and the first women’s editor of the Producer, helped communicate the issues’ progress and successes to rural residents, encouraging women to work for social change in their communities and beyond. To improve farm finances, families were encouraged to become a selfsupporting entity rather than relying on one or two crops and purchasing high priced food items. The goal was to raise and feed livestock and plant large orchards and gardens to supply meat, milk, eggs and produce that could feed the family for the entire year and provide extras that could be marketed. Articles provided information on the advantages of planting shelterbelts, fruit trees and gardens to trap snow and fill water reservoirs, decorate the farmyard and provide a greater variety of food options. Food preservation tips were provided to help families store produce for winter use in addition to articles on ways to make the farm home more comfortable and provide clothing for growing families. Readers shared their own tips to solve common household problems and annoyances. During the war years, sugar and meat shortages were addressed through recipes calling for honey or molasses instead of sugar and meatless dishes with pasta, eggs, cheese and dried beans. In the post-war years, the Producer disseminated information on rural electrification. Emmie Oddie, a farmer, Saskatchewan Women’s Institutes member and home economist, wrote a food and information column for the Producer for 47 years. She answered readers’ questions on nutrition, food preparation, preservation and consumer topics, poems, readings, suggestions for Christmas concerts. Her sister and section editor, Rose Jardine, also wrote a gardening column. Oddie’s work was continued by a group of home economists, including Alma Copeland, Barb Sanderson, Jodie Mirosovsky, Sarah Galvin and me. The section also included pages with activities for children and aspiring young writers. When the metric system was introduced, there were new recipes developed and instructions given to convert old recipes. The introduction of lentils, quinoa, chickpeas and canola led to information on how to prepare them. To d ay , t h e re i s a n i n c re a s e d demand for locally grown foods and a renewed interest in food preparation and preservation. Basic budgeting skills, planning for farm transitions and retirement planning are also top of mind. The Farm Living section includes articles that share unique farming success stories, innovative business ventures and farm transitions from one generation to the next and regular columns by experts. As farmers, we produce the food so it is only natural that a farm paper would provide information on how to enjoy it.

CHILDREN | SELF-ESTEEM

Children require more than just encouragement SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

When we were at a school case conference earlier today, my husband and I were told that our son is lacking self-esteem. We were floored. We praise our son as much as we can while making sure that he has all the latest video games and computer access points. We are lost. What can my husband and I do to get our son over this self-esteem hangup?

the doors are open for him. All of this takes time. Self-esteem does not blossom through an overnight miracle. Your son will have to nurture, feed and cherish it much as you do with a bed of roses thriving in your garden. Over time, and through the frustration of various disappointments, it will, as if by surprise, one day embed itself into his being, and the changes for which you and the school are searching will be automatic. Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan. Contact: jandrews@ producer.com.

There is not a lot you can directly do to raise your son’s self-esteem. Self-esteem is something that builds from the inside out, originating in one’s psyche. Only your son can foster his self-esteem. However, self-esteem is vulnerable, and while you may be limited to the extent to which you can foster it for your son, you can damage it. Too much of anything, be it criticism or unwarranted praise, challenges selfesteem and leaves your son searching for self-worth. Remember that his task is to generate his own sense of self-appreciation and praise. You simply encourage it. Don’t praise or otherwise judge his report card. Ask him how he feels about it. And don’t stop at that. You need a conversation with him to get him to be as specific as he can be about his appraisal of his report card. If he is satisfied with it, why is he satisfied, and with what is he most satisfied? If he is frustrated with it, what is frustrating him and what might he need to become more satisfied? Remember that you are asking him not only to assess himself but to discover a way out of the quagmire of dissatisfaction in which he is struggling. His self-esteem will naturally shift to a more positive orientation once he finds options for himself and explores different ways in which he can behave. It comes from you listening carefully to your son and letting him find his own way out of his difficulties. It does not come from you telling him what to do. He has a right to succeed and he has a right to fail, and it is that right that is the foundation to self-esteem. You have another responsibility as parents, one that I have alluded to in many of my previous columns. You have to make sure that you are giving your son the opportunities to be successful. Does he have his own place at home where he can do his school work? Does your house have quiet times during which the children can work if they choose to do so? Do you have regular meals and bedtimes that encourage proper nutrition and rest for your children? Your son may not always choose to take full advantage of the opportunities that you have given him, but his probabilities for doing so go way up if

CARE | NEGLIGENCE

Neglect can lead to criminal charges A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.

e sometimes hear of a person being charged criminally for “failure to provide the necessities of life.” The charge is actually worded so that it refers to the necessaries of life, which means approximately the same thing: the food, clothing, shelter and care needed to stay alive and be healthy. There is a duty, under section 215 of the Criminal Code, to provide basic necessaries to people to whom you owe a duty. Section 215(a) deals with the duty owed to children younger than 16 by their parent, foster parent, guardian or head of the family. Section 215(b) sets out a similar duty to a spouse or common law partner and Section 215(c) refers to a duty owed to some-

one under your care, who by reason of detention, age, illness, mental disorder or other cause, is unable to withdraw from your care and is unable to provide themselves with the necessaries of life. The basis for an offence under this section arises when a person to whom you owe that duty is found to be in destitute or needy circumstances or in situations where their life is threatened or their health is likely to be endangered permanently. This is an offence that contains a “reverse onus.” The presumption is that you have committed the offence of failure to provide necessaries when the person to whom you owe the duty is found to be in the above circumstances. The burden of establishing a lawful excuse is upon the accused. It is also important to note that you don’t have a lawful excuse to not provide for your spouse or child just because someone else is doing so. Case law says the crown must establish a “marked departure from the conduct of a reasonably prudent person” in circumstances where it was objectively foreseeable that the failure to provide the necessaries of life would lead to a risk to life or the possibility of per-

manent endangerment to health. The charge could be the more serious one of criminal negligence if the accused’s conduct goes so far as to demonstrate a “wanton or reckless disregard for the life and safety” of the person to whom the duty is owed. The specific facts and the mental state of the accused are key considerations as to which charge is appropriate. Section 215(c) extends the duty beyond dependent children and spouses and can extend to prisoners in detention, disabled or old people under the care of a person or group of people and other vulnerable people who are under the control of another and needs care, such as medical attention. Obviously, family neglect can also bring about proceedings under provincial statutes, such as child protection legislation and laws allowing for spousal support. However, neglecting the care and necessaries of those you have a duty to care for can also attract criminal penalties.

PICKARDVILLE, Alta. — Like most good ventures, Kelly Miller and Patty Kramps’ business of selling harness and carts for miniature horses began with a need. They had been looking for a cart for a miniature horse they had rescued from the auction market, but the ones they found were either cheap and disposable or expensive. They started their own business to fill the need, and Patty’s Pony Place was started. Four years ago, they imported 30 carts and harness from China, designed a website and got into business. “When you send $15,000 to $20,000 to a bank in the middle of mainland China, that takes some cahoonies,” said Miller. However, the carts turned out to be a hit and quickly sold. The pair was to be featured at a popular horse event, the Mane Event, but didn’t have any vehicles left. Instead, Miller, a handyman, decided to build his own with Kramps making the upholstery. “I built a couple of vehicles and there was good response.” He custom builds carts, carriages, wagons, buggies and surries. They can have added suspension, disc brakes or nar row frames to fit through small spaces. Unlike other horse drawn vehicles, the ones that Miller builds are spe-

cially designed for miniature horses and ponies. The vehicles are built on the couple’s Picardville farm, but they continue to import the harness from China, which is also custom designed for horse and rider. Miller said 80 percent of their sales are to middle-aged women. They grew up riding and still like to be around horses but have gravitated to the miniature horses because of poor health or sore backs. Other customers are grandparents who want a cart and harness to take their grandchildren for a drive. Miller said many miniatures horses may do nothing but stand in a pen for a year, and the driving gives both animal and owner a new purpose in life. “The next thing they are buying more ponies when a year ago they wanted to get rid of them,” said Miller, who jokes their farm could also be called Ponies on Pogey. Nine of Miller and Kramps’ 22 miniature horses were rescued from auctions or farms. Miller said the minis have no useable skills when they come to their place. “They come here on compo (disability pension) and we teach them basic job skills,” said Miller. The horses are then sold or kept on the farm, he added. Kramps said her lifelong connection and love of horses have led her to the miniatures. One of their rescued horses came into the auction ring with a halter grown into its nose and crippled, curled-up feet. “I looked at him and what I saw, he had life in his eye. That is what hooked me.” Another of their rescued animals was an former wild horse race pony. “We salvage a lot of these little farts,” she said. Miller said keeping 22 miniatures requires the same feed as a team of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Âť CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE draft horses, but they are easier and safer to handle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right amount of livestock for their 10 acres of farmland. A half-mile long trail cut into a fiveacre section of bush is lined with mini Christmas tree lights and 20 festive displays that are lit at night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we turn on the lights at night, it is just magical,â&#x20AC;? said Kramps. The trail began as a clearing by the power company and was extended through the trees with the help of friends and family. The lights and Christmas displays were added later. The business has threatened to take over the house. Upholstered seats are built at a long table in the kitchen, while boxes of harness and mini horse tack are stored in the living room. Kramps uses a spare room to sew the upholstery and build all the miniature horse tack. Miller builds the carts in an unheated shop. This summer, Miller wants to build a mini-sized disc and possibly a plow. Horses have always been part of Miller and Krampsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family travelled to heavy horse pulls across northern Alberta and British Columbia when he was young, and he once competed at the Wanham Plowing Match in Wanham, Alta., with a team of large draft horses. Kramps said she was practically raised on a horse and started flat racing horses at the local fair in Westlock, Alta., when she was 12. Her racing led to work at the racetrack in Calgary for a year, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree w ith some of the tactics required to keep a horse running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kramps eventually found her niche when she took a course that helps humans connect with horses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became a healer,â&#x20AC;? said Kramps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to improve peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives

GRAIN | INVESTMENT

Scoular remains interested in Western Canada Wheat buyer looking for facility | American company seeking new deal after original facility project terminated BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

American grain company Scoular is pushing ahead with plans to expand its presence north of the border. Scoular, based in Omaha, Nebraska, says it will increase its staff at Canadian offices in Calgary and Montreal and will also look at building or acquiring grain collection facilities in Western Canada. Todd McQueen, a senior vicepresident involved in executing the company’s Canadian strategy, said the company will hire more people, develop new partnerships with existing Canadian grain companies and invest in elevators and other facilities. “We anticipate growing both (Canadian) offices, I would say fairly substantially in the coming years,” McQueen said. “We’re very excited about the potential in the Canadian market, both for the ag industry in general and certainly for the Scoular company. We feel like there’s a great deal of room to grow.” Until recently, Scoular was involved in a project to build a large grain collection facility near Northgate, Sask., just minutes north of the Canada-U.S. border. But last month, Scoular’s former partner in the project, Ceres Global Ag Corp. of Toronto, announced it had terminated its agreement with Scoular and would instead develop the Northgate facility on its own. McQueen declined to comment on Scoular’s participation in the Northgate project but said the company is continuing with other efforts to expand its presence in Western Canada. The company has well-established connections with end users in North America and abroad including millers, processors, distillers and livestock feeders. Scoular is also expanding its reach in other markets, including Mexico, South America and Asia. “We’ve got a vast network of destination customers that are always

looking for new sources of origination,” McQueen said. “We absolutely will invest capital in facilities (in Canada).… We’ve got several deals in the works currently. Unfortunately, none of them are at the point where I can talk about them publicly, but we will be investing in brick and mortar, if you will.” Scoular’s strategy for developing its Canadian business will focus on linking producers and end users, either through creative transportation solutions, strategically placed collection facilities or business partnerships.

existing one, upgrading an existing one, and if that involves a partnership with another company, we’re actually looking at one of those right now.” McQueen said Scoular’s Canadian business is focused primarily on buying spring wheat, durum and rye. The company also ships feed and feed ingredients north into the Canadian market. Recent changes to the western Canadian grain marketing environment have opened the door to potential new business partnerships between companies such as Scoular,

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia needs more guarantees to allow the U.S. pork imports from two subsidiaries of producer Smithfield Foods Inc., Russia’s veterinary and phytosanitary watchdog VPSS said. Russia banned most meat imports from the United States early last year because of concerns over the use of the feed additive ractopamine. The countr y previously planned to resume pork imports from the United States on March 10. It was not clear by press time if that would now be delayed.

which have markets but no collection facilities in Canada, and established grain buyers in Western Canada, which have facilities and relationships with growers. “I think that’s right in our wheelhouse, so to speak,” he said. “We’re ready to work with those kinds of people to provide capital as needed as long as they’re in a place … where (producers) will support it via their volume. We’re very interested in reinvesting in those kind of assets and helping those people to succeed and to thrive into the future.”

Critics question Alberta’s balanced budget claim

Agriculture funding up as gov’t supports new research initiative

Debt criticized | While Alberta’s 2014 budget projects a surplus, opposition parties say it fails to consider billions spent on infrastructure BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — The Alberta government has a “fully balanced budget” for the first time in seven years, thanks to booming oil revenue and strong taxes, says Alberta’s finance minister. “It’s been a long road to get here,” Doug Horner told a news conference to explain the 2014 budget. Alberta is expected to have an operating budget surplus of $2.6 billion and savings of $24 billion, but critics say Horner is leaving out billions of dollars that the province has borrowed for infrastructure projects in its budget accounting. Horner’s balanced budget doesn’t include the $5.1 billion that the government will borrow to fund capital projects such as roads, hospital and universities, which would bring the debt to $14.5 billion. The government changed the way it records its budget last year, dividing operating, savings and infrastructure. “If you don’t invest in the infrastructure, then you stymie the growth in the economy,” he said.

DOUG HORNER ALBERTA FINANCE MINISTER

The government plans to spend $19.2 billion in capital spending for infrastructure over the next three years. “This is the right financial plan for the current situation, with low interest rates, close to 50 year lows we are seeing today,” said Horner. Alberta’s economy still relies heavily on oil and gas, but more than half its $44 billion in revenue comes from income tax revenue. “There is no question things are looking good in Alberta today,” said Horner. Alberta Wildrose leader Danielle Smith said the government had an opportunity to stay out of debt and balance the budget.

“It would have been so easy to balance the budget and stay out of debt. Instead, they are going to be burying us in an avalanche of debt,” said Smith. “They’re taking out $5 billion in this year alone and claim they have a surplus. Any claim this is a surplus budget is absolutely bogus.” Liberal leader Raj Sherman said the government had no need to go into debt to pay for infrastructure projects. “How is it possible in such a wealthy place we are going into debt and we are cutting public services? This is not how you build great provinces.” Bob Barss, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said he didn’t believe borrowing for infrastructure projects was a bad move. “We borrow every day of our lives. Our whole (farm) business runs on borrowing. We understand borrowing. I don’t think there is going to be a lot of kick back on the borrowing for capital projects. We got to get this stuff done. We’re building it for 50 years. It doesn’t hurt to pay for it over 10 or 15.”

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Agriculture funding received a boost in this year’s Alberta budget. The province has established a $200 million endowment fund for agriculture and food innovation within the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund. The Agriculture Food and Innovation Account will allot $9 million a year for the next three years from the $200 million fund to support key areas of basic and applied research. “The Agriculture and Food Innovation Endowment will promote sustained growth in the agriculture and food processing sector,” provincial finance minister Doug Horner said during a news conference. The money will be directed to: • Expansion of grant programs to local applied research associations • Value-added product development and commercialization • Enhanced research capacity in the Peace River District • An expanded plant health laboratory to facilitate the development of new resistant plant varieties and agronomic practices Agriculture minister Verlyn Olson said agriculture fared well in the budget with no big hits and the addition of the endowment fund. “I am extremely happy with this budget.”

The agriculture portion of the $43 b i l l i o n p rov i n c i a l b u d g e t h a s increased $97 million from $938 million to slightly more than $1 billion. “The $200 million endowment is an opportunity to do some visionary work,” said Olson. More details will be announced soon, he added. Bob Barss, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties said the rural endowment fund will be positive for rural Alberta. “We have been really pushing the government hard to put money back into research in agriculture.” Included in the agriculture budget is a $17 million flood recovery program for small businesses affected by the June floods in southern Alberta. The loan program is not just for agricultural producers but is included in the agriculture budget because it is administered through AFSC. The Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency budget increased five million to $34 million. The budget also included a $200 million a year Alberta Future Fund. It is to be used at the legislature’s discretion, but is as yet unallocated. Olson said he has his eye on this money for agriculture projects. “To me, this creates some opportunity for some legacy type projects that could be real game changers. It’s a great opportunity to do some longterm thinking.”

NEWS ENVIRONMENT | GLYPHOSATE

Monarch habitat in peril due to herbicide use, says report BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An American environmental group says widespread use of glyphosate is killing milkweed and devastating monarch butterfly populations. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) singles out glyphosate because of its widespread use, but states other herbicides can also damage the insect’s population. “At the same time that spraying of glyphosate has soared, the monarch butterfly population has been plunging,” said Sylvia Fallon, an NRDC senior scientist in Washington D.C. She said studies by the World Wildlife Fund indicates that the number of monarchs wintering in Mexico has dropped to 33.5 million, which is 10 percent of the annual average. That average is itself a far cry from the high of one billion recorded in 1997, the year after Roundup Ready crops were first introduced. Most of the research data comes from the U.S. Midwest, where genetically modified soybeans and corn dominate farms. Monarchs, which migrate from Mexico to Canada and back again, depend on milkweed plants, the only source of food for the larvae. In a petition filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in February, the NRDC asked for new safeguards to allow milkweed to grow. It also wants the EPA to fast track a review of glyphosate in 2015. Fallon said the petition states that glyphosate is one of many herbicides that can kill milkweed. “To the extent that they impose any restrictions on glyphosate, they need to make sure it’s imposed on other herbicides because you don’t want to swap one out for the other, which is going to have the same effect on milkweed,” she said. A blog posted by Monsanto said the company is talking with scientists about what might be done to help monarchs rebound and is eager to help rebuild monarch habitat. “There’s no reason agriculture can’t coexist with natural wonders like monarch butterflies and their annual migration,” the blog said. The NRDC petition asked the EPA for assessments and restrictions for both agriculture and non-agricultural uses. It suggested that the agency could prohibit herbicides along roads and power line rights of way and assess its use in horticulture and landscaping activities. It also asked that farmers create herbicide-free zones in and around their fields.

TRADE | NEGOTIATIONS

New trade talks may weaken North American deal Trans Pacific | Mexican negotiator says American interests are superseding Mexico and Canada’s BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The Trans Pacific Partnership and piecemeal deals with Europe are undermining the North American Free Trade Agreement, says Mexico’s chief negotiator for NAFTA. Canada and Mexico need to protect their NAFTA interests, Jaime Serra Puche told the Canola Council of Canada’s annual meeting, and all three major North American countries should form a common agreement with the European Union. “I think that both Mexico and Canada

… rushed into this negotiation without thinking about it very thoroughly,” Serra Puche said about the TPP. “It turns out that there are many issues in the TPP negotiation that could hurt Mexico and Canada.” Serra Puche said the United States has more than expanding trade access in mind with the TPP. “It’s not a trade policy for the Americans. That negotiation is a China issue,” he said. “It’s basically a containment negotiation.” Serra Puche said the problem for Canada and Mexico is that whatever TPP deal is approved will supersede NAFTA, making North America a less

effective trading block. The U.S. is looking out for its geopolitical concerns, he added, but they aren’t necessarily the same as those for Canada and Mexico, and weakening NAFTA to achieve them isn’t necessarily a good deal for the smaller NAFTA partners. With European trade, Serra Puche said it would be better for Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to sign one comprehensive NAFTA-European Union agreement rather than the three deals that will probably soon exist. Mexico has had free trade with Europe for years, Canada will likely soon have it and the U.S. will follow.

However, the conditions of each deal will be different. Serra Puche said North America needs to star t working toward becoming a customs union similar to the EU. The North American trading bloc has a common set of tariffs for non-NAFTA imports but no “rules of origin” because they have led to trade fights and conflict within the NAFTA zone. “Why don’t we have a common competition policy for the whole region?” said Serra Puche. The continent should also start developing a common logistics policy, he said.

WILDLIFE | BIRDS

Research reveals strong memory in hummingbirds Mind muscle | Hummingbirds can recall feeder and flower locations BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A hummingbird’s brain is 7,000 times smaller than that of a human, but the tiny, mighty bird can memorize flower locations, encode geometry and track the passage of time. Many humans can’t do as well. So says University of Lethbridge researcher Andy Hurly, who talked about the big brains and big memories of hummingbirds during the Wildlife in the Wind lecture series March 3 organized by the Alberta Wildlife Society. Hurly has been studying rufous hummingbirds in southwestern Alberta for 22 years. The birds weigh about as much as two dimes, have a heart rate of 1,000 beats per minute and fly at 60 to 80 wing beats per second. “Hummingbirds have incredibly high metabolic rates,” said Hurly. “They are just little energy machines.” To maintain that pace, they have to eat every 10 minutes, primarily by sipping nectar from flowers. If they are unable to do so, they fall into torpor and soon die.

BIRD DROPPINGS • Rufous hummingbirds are the most common in Western Canada. • Ruby-throated hummingbirds are the most common in Eastern Canada. • Other types seen in Canada include Anna’s, black-chinned, broadbilled and calliope. • Male rufous hummingbirds can reach speeds of 95 km-h while diving to show off for a potential mate. • They can fly at more than 50 km-h. • The rufous variety is considered the feistiest of the species in North America. • They eat nectar and insects. • A mixture of one part sugar to four parts water is considered suitable for hummingbird feeders. Sources: Andy Hurly, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

But how does a hummingbird avoid wasting energy in revisiting the flowers from which it has already sipped? “If it starts visiting empty flowers, it could easily run out of energy within

a few minutes or a few hours, so the critical time frame in which hummingbirds can starve to death is surprising short,” he said. “They live on the energetic edge all the time.” Hurly and his team used artificial flowers containing sugar water to discover that hummingbirds remember which flowers they’ve recently visited. They also found that the birds use geometry to navigate to particular locations and do not use flower or object colour as a guide to plentiful food sources. Red, the predominant colour of millions of hummingbird feeders across Canada, is not as big a factor in attracting the birds as are location and the memory that food was previously there, said Hurly. “Red flowers and red hummingbird feeders are a great way to attract a hummingbird to a location, to a flower, the first time. After that, they don’t care what colour it is. They just remember the place.” Hurly’s tests found that even without an identifying colour marker, hummingbirds will fly within a minimum 70 centimetres of a location

He and his team also tested hummingbirds’ perception of time by refilling four feeders every 10 minutes and four every 20 minutes. The birds quickly figured out which ones to visit more frequently, demonstrating episodic memory.

“Not only do they know that there’s 10 minute and 20 minute flowers but they remember which 10 minute and 20 minute flower they last visited,” said Hurly. “I think that’s astonishing. I don’t know if I could do this. If I were to do this … I think I would need a pencil, paper and eight stopwatches.” Researchers used only eight flowers in the tests, but hummingbirds could be doing calculations for dozens or hundreds of flowers at once, he added.

MEDICINAL MARIJUANA | REGULATION

Medical marijuana opens business opportunity Medicinal Manitoba Green Inc. | Licensed grower is allowed to sell dried marijuana to customers with a prescription BY REBECA KUROPAWA FREELANCE WRITER

Three business partners in Portage la Prairie, Man., will be among the entrepreneurs providing medical marijuana under new national guidelines. Medical Manitoba Green Inc. has received a commercial licence under the new plan, which will require Canadian patients with prescriptions to buy from a licensed producer rather than grow it themselves. The new system comes into effect April 1. The company, which has acquired a building in Portage and changed its zoning to agriculture from light industrial, was created by Aliza Amihude, a licensed, designated grower of m edica l ma r ijua na, Jo se p h Fullmer, a farming and retail management specialist, and Hersh Binder, an economist. Amihude started growing marijuana to help a relative who had a stroke. She didn’t want her cousin to buy marijuana from the criminal market. She said the new company had to go through comprehensive RCMP record checks. “We spent weeks intensively

PRODUCTION | GMOS

Organic group wants greater regulation (Reuters) — It is becoming increasingly difficult for U.S. farmers to grow crops that aren’t contaminated by genetic modification and pesticides, says a new report. New government rules to control contamination are needed, according to the report issued by Food & Water Watch and the Organic Farmers’ Agency for Relationship Marketing. Based on information from 268 farmers in 17 states, the report said more than 30 percent of farmers seeking to grow organic crops reported that unintended GM presence has been found or suspected on their farms. The report was issued as the U.S. Department of Agriculture took public comments on a plan for “enhancing co-existence” of non-GM and GM crops. The public comment period ended March 4. Farmers trying to grow non-GM crops have to take many steps and sometimes spend several thousands of dollars to try to protect their crops from GM crops, which have become pervasive across the United States, the groups said. “The risks and the effects of GMO contamination have unfairly burdened organic and non-GMO farmers with extra work, longer hours and financial insecurity,” the report said. The level of contamination of nonGM crops by GM crops is an area of concern because some foreign buyers of U.S. crops will not accept GM varieties.

researching security, record-keeping, and quality control protocols for the extensive Health Canada application,” she said. Licensed producers in Canada are only allowed to sell dried marijuana, and Medical Manitoba Green Inc. will offer the choice of milled or whole bud. What the patient does with the dried medical marihuana is up to them. “They can smoke it, make tea to drink, make tinctures, oil and edibles of all kinds,” said Amihude. “We will conduct research and

develop tinctures, oils and cannabisinfused products in-house, so we can be ready when they become medicinally legal to sell in Canada (as they are in Israel and California).” Pharmacy, dispensary and storefront sales aren’t allowed under Health Canada guidelines. Most transactions will occur online. Once payment is received, the package is shipped and securely tracked directly to the patient or a health-care worker, if that was included in the paperwork. Amihude said prices will vary

according to strain and potency. “Medical marijuana is made up of different cannabinoids that match up with receptors in humans and other animals,” she said. “High THC is commonly used for pain management, while high CBDs have other positive effects. Medical Manitoba Green’s 10 to 20 strains will have varying THC, CBD, and CBN levels from very high to very low variables of each aspect.” She said medical marijuana can be prescribed for Alzheimer’s, spasms, migraines, arthritis, anxiety, swell-

ing, menstrual cramps, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, attention deficit disorder, anxiety disorders, stress relief, sleeping problems and depression. Amihude said it has also helped many people fight opiate dependencies. Studies at the University of Saskatchewan show that, with continual use, marijuana increases neuron growth in brain cells rather than destroying them and does not deteriorate motor skills or cognitive functions.

Technotill Works Well in Sod Doug Hannah believes with the feast or famine nature of agriculture and is ready to adopt any technology that can mitigate the risks. After experiencing years of drought in Alberta’s Peace River Region, he wasn’t prepared for three years of extremely wet conditions when the family relocated to a farm in eastcentral Saskatchewan. Along with being an excellent direct seeding tool into standing wheat and canola stubble, Hannah says the Technotill system has also worked well to establish annual crops in pasture and hayland sod. “Some of the land we bought had been pasture and hayland for years so we are gradually bringing that into annual crop production.”

They did about 300 acres in 2010, another 500 acres in 2011, 1,100 acres in 2012 and still have a few more pasture acres to go. Along with their own farm, they have also custom seeded into sod for neighbours. To make the conversion, Hannah sprays the forage crop with two litres of glyphosate applied with 10 gallons of water in early spring. He then likes to go right in after to seed a glyphosate-tolerant canola with the

Technotill seeding system. “I use the higher rate of glyphosate and plenty of water to get a good kill on the perennial grass and then we just go ahead and seed,” he says. “And again it does an excellent job. We are using a ¾ inch wide opener that slices into the sod and the packer plate slides right into that narrow opening to pack the seed. And we have excellent emergence. “If we were using equipment with a wheel-type packer, you only have that ¾ to one inch opening and the 3 ½ wheel would ride on top of the sod. But the Technotill packer plate follows right into the seed row providing excellent seed-to soil contact.” Hannah estimates that for $30 to $50 per acre (including herbicide and application costs) he can establish an annual crop without multiple tillage passes.

ANIMAL WELFARE | ACTIVISM

Codes of practice must be adhered to, say officials Industry image | With critics keeping a watchful eye, producers must pay attention to high welfare standards BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Canadian agriculture is facing increasing pressure from animal rights activist groups that are well funded and prepared to go public with their protests. However, activists are not going to change their minds about animal care, and no changes will ever be enough, said Geraldine Auston of the Ag and Food Exchange in Guelph, Ont. “Insist on the highest degree of welfare on your farms,” she told the Egg Farmers of Alberta annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 25. Corrective actions are needed when animals are mistreated or producers violate codes of practice, she added. “We have a long way to go to make sure we are sound in our practices,” said Ben Waldner, chair of the egg farmers organization. Last year, an Alberta egg farm was exposed for mistreating birds in an undercover video that ended up on the national news program W5. Undercover videos are just one of the ways animal rights groups target farms, said Kay Johnson Smith, president of the Animal Agriculture Alliance in the United States. Their aim is to end animal agriculture and promote a vegan lifestyle, she added. Founded in 1987, the alliance

includes farmers, ranchers, producer organizations, suppliers, packerprocessors, scientists, veterinarians

and retailers who want a co-ordinated approach to monitoring the animal rights movement.

The public is not always sure what all the animal welfare groups do or what their mandates are, said Tara

Johnson of the Alberta SPCA. In Alberta, the SPCA enforces the Animal Protection Act and it is not an activist group. “We are not all created equal,” she said. Many groups have a core of dedicated volunteers who believe animals are mistreated and want to help. “They think they are doing the right thing, but sometimes it is very damaging,” said Auston. Many groups have targeted the use of battery cages for laying hens and gestation stalls for sows. They oppose branding, the fur trade, fois gras production and confinement of animals. She said groups such as the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) have done good work saving animals in developing countries, but their focus is different in North America. WSPA has a $5.6 million budget and is willing to work with other groups to promote an ideology. MacLean’s magazine listed it as number seven among the top 10 lobbyists in Ottawa. A motion passed last year at the Calgary Co-op annual meeting asked the company not to buy eggs from farms using battery cages. The pressure continues on the retailer, and WSPA has become involved, said Auston. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Auston said these organizations have total revenues of $400 million a year with the Humane Society of the United States being the largest with 400 employees and an annual budget of $120 million. She said it spends one percent of that money on animal care, while $25 million is spent on lobbying and legislative campaigns and $20 million on fundraising. “They have a big shop. It is a big industry. They have a big budget dedicated to ending your livelihood,” she said. Activists who once worked with groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Animal Liberation Front have become HSUS leaders. As an example of its reach, HSUS and United Egg Producers reached an agreement that would see farmers accept national legislation to end the use of battery cages. HSUS said it would no longer push state initiatives. However, the rule did not make it to the farm bill, so HSUS said it would continue to push for cage free egg production with state bills and ballot initiatives. Another tactic is to buy public stock in corporations to give these groups the right to speak at shareholder meetings and present resolutions to set policy for suppliers. Auston said undercover videos are a common tactic. Activists started by breaking into farms to take pictures, but that did not work well. Now they take jobs at a livestock operations and shoot secret footage. About 70 videos have been made public, including 40 in the last five years. Two were shot in Canada. The Animal Agriculture Alliance tracks the videos to see where they were made and how they were edited. “ These videos are priceless because they can live on and on into eternity, especially with social media. These videos never go away,” she said. Every video is posted online with a “donate now” button flashing, she added. Auston said many food companies caved in when the videos started to surface and agreed to change specifications from suppliers rather than face bad publicity. Johnson Smith said farmers can take action and need to be aware that they might be targets for an activist: • Train all employees on animal handling, and develop an animal care program. • Employees need to sign a document on farm policy and should be encouraged to report poor care. • Employees need to be held accountable for their behaviour when working with livestock. • Keep the farm neat and clean.

• Employers should make sure animals are healthy and know how they are handled. • Employers should know if there are environmental problems such as improper storage of manure or chemicals. • Employers should know who they are hiring. They should check references and think twice about hiring if the person’s identification is questionable, such having only a university ID. • If the vehicle is from out of state or another province, ask why. • Employers should ask themselves if the job applicant is overly qualified for the job. • Employers should keep track of employees. When they leave, try to find out where they went. • If the farm has a website, talk about the family and the approaches it takes to environmental care and animal welfare.

Aging infrastructure could slow American transport Investment needed | U.S. waterway official warns of looming crisis BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — U.S. farmers are trying to avert a looming transportation crisis. Crumbling locks and dams pose a serious threat to commodities moving up and down American waterways. More than 60 percent of the country’s corn and soybean exports use the country’s river systems to get to port and a significant amount of fertilizer flows the other way. “We’ve got an infrastructure that is typically between 60 and 90 years old, and they were designed to last 40 years, so we are near crisis mode with respect to locks and dams,” said Paul Rohde, vice-president of the Midwest area for the Waterways Council Inc. “If we expect them to continue to operate efficiently into the 21st century, we’ve got to do some major capital development on them.” The U.S. House and Senate passed their versions of the Water Resources Development Act last year. Rohde expects the two arms of government to come to an agreement on a joint version of the bill in the first or second quarters of this year. It will be an authorization bill that includes several reforms that operators and carriers have been seeking. “It will essentially streamline the

process of the design and construction of the locks and dams,” he said. “It prioritizes the backlog of construction that we have for locks and dams.” Rohde said 22 projects in most dire need of attention have been prioritized in the bill by industry and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Danny Murphy, chair of the American Soybean Association, said the bill includes important safeguards for the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund. “Congress has really raided that fund, and instead of using those funds for dredging and harbour maintenance, they’ve used them for other general obligations of the U.S. government,” he said. It also streamlines the process of environmental permits and studies that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires when it undertakes a construction project. Murphy said the bill is needed to ensure U.S. grain and oilseed exports remain competitive. “We’re just thankful that we’ve got an efficient system, and we just need to make sure we keep that in place,” he said. Garry Niemeyer, first vice-president of the National Corn Growers Association, said the United States spends $2 billion a year on transportation infrastructure improvements, compared to $30 billion in China and

Group wants GM label standards BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A new organization has formed to promote federal standards for labelling genetically modified food in the United States. The Coalition for Safe Affordable Food comprises 32 farm and food industry organizations concerned about the proliferation of GM safety and labelling laws proposed at the state level. About half of the states in the U.S. are contemplating some form of GM labelling legislation. Groups such as the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and Grocery Manufacturers Association are not thrilled by the prospect of having to deal with a patchwork of labelling laws. “The goal of this (coalition) effort is to seek a federal solution that would establish standards for the safety and labelling of food and beverage products made with biotech ingredients,” NCGA president Martin Barbre told reporters at the 2014 Commodity Classic conference. The coalition wants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to establish federal standards for companies that want to voluntarily label their food products as containing or not containing GM ingredients. It also wants the FDA to conduct a safety review of all new GM traits and be able to mandate the labelling of GM

food ingredients if it determines there is a health, safety or nutrition concern. Scott Faber, executive director of Just Label It, a group advocating for mandatory labelling of GM food, said the coalition proposal falls short of what is required. “Voluntary labelling of genetically engineered ingredients is a failed system, and the food industry’s proposal is just more of the same,” he said in a news release. “The solution to consumer confusion is to provide people with more information, not less. We welcome the opportunity to work with industry leaders to craft a federal solution that gives all consumers the right to know what’s in their food.” Barbre said many state initiatives calling for mandatory labelling have failed, which is a relief. He can’t fathom how food companies would navigate a myriad of state laws. “In my mind I can’t even envision how it would work without a federal law that has a set of standards for everybody,” he said. The coalition estimates that 70 to 80 percent of the food consumed in the U.S. contains GM ingredients. Part of its mandate will be to educate consumers that they are not putting themselves in danger by eating those food items. T h e c o a l i t i o n s a i d G M c ro p s require less water and fewer pesticides and reduce the price of crops by as much as 15 to 30 percent.

$20 billion in Brazil. “We’re not in the game. We have to get back in the game,” he said. The Water Resources Development Act grants permission to build but doesn’t provide money for the projects. Funding comes from a combination of appropriations legislation and a 20 cents per gallon tax on barge fuel. Separate legislation has been drafted to increase the tax by 30 to 45 percent, or six to nine cents per gallon, to fund the infrastructure projects. Niemeyer said the tax increase will cost the average farmer half a cent a bushel on his crops but is well worth it because waterways are the cheapest way to move crops to market.

New soybean variety features double resistance Coming to market | Balance GT features resistance to glyphosate and Balance Bean BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

and sorghum growers, drew a record 7,325 attendees to San Antonio, Texas, this year. | SEAN PRATT PHOTO

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Soybean growers are getting a new herbicide tolerant system. Balance GT soybeans are expected to be on the market in Canada and the United States by mid-decade pending regulatory approval. The system has been decades in the making. The soybean contains a double herbicide-tolerant trait stack. It is tolerant to glyphosate and Balance Bean, a new isoxaflutole-based herbicide from Bayer CropScience. It will be the first isoxaflutole-tolerant soybean on the market. Isoxaflutole is the active ingredient in Balance Flexx, a popular corn herbicide. Lauren August, brand manager with MS Technologies, which developed the soybean, said isoxaflutole kills weeds and grasses. Balance Bean controls many herbicide-tolerant weeds such as marestail, common ragweed, waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and wooly cupgrass. “In the south (of the U.S.) they’re in very deep need. They very much need new systems out there and new herbicides,” she said. Balance Bean also offers growers residual control with reactivation technology that allows farmers to combat weeds from application until canopy closure. “The idea is then you should be able to apply less,” said August during an interview at the 2014 Commodity Classic conference. Balance Bean has an ultra-low use rate of two to three fluid ounces per acre, which makes it easier to store and transport than herbicides that require quarts or gallons per acre. It is also easier to clean out a spray tank after application. Both glyphosate and Balance Bean

LAUREN AUGUST MS TECHNOLOGIES

can be used in burn-down and preand post-emergent applications. The company is confident the new soybean system will perform well in the field. “Everything has shown yield performance equal to, if not better than, other systems on the market,” said August. She said the plan is to launch the system at the same time in Canada and the U.S. The product will initially be available in the zero to four maturity categories, which makes it suitable for Western Canada. The soybean has received full approval in Canada, Australia and Ne w Z e a l a n d a n d c u l t i v a t i o n approval in the U.S. It needs approval in key export markets before being commercialized. The Balance Bean herbicide is going through the approval process in Canada and the U.S. August said that shouldn’t be a complicated process because the active ingredient is used extensively in corn production. MS Technologies is already seeking regulatory approval on a triple-stack product that will be tolerant to glyphosate, isoxaflutole and glufosinate, the chemistry found in Liberty herbicide. This isn’t the first time that MS Technologies has partnered with Bayer. “We actually teamed up with them before with the Liberty Link system. It was very successful,” said August. “We’ve been working with them ever since.”

PRODUCTION | HEMP

Hemp acres expand alongside growing market Acres may approach 100,000 | Canadian production could improve with processing plants and specialized equipment BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Up to 100,000 acres of hemp will likely be grown in Canada this year, up from 67,000 acres last year, and 20,000 of them will be in Alberta. Breaking the 100,000 acre barrier may indicate that hemp is finally coming into its own as a viable prairie crop. So says Jan Slaski, senior researcher with Alberta Innovates Technology Futures. Prairie farmers’ history with hemp

has had its ups and downs, but Slaski said they were growing pains. “We didn’t have a well established value chain,” he said in an interview after his presentation at the Feb. 27 annual meeting of Farming Smarter. “Now what we have, we are seeing this steady increase. Fifteen to 20 percent from year to year is because we are past the stage where there is no market for the crop. There is market demand.” Canada exports $40 million in hemp products annually, which is 85 percent of total production.

Most of it is seed related. American firms are the primary buyers. They process hemp seed into products popular for their nutritional value and health benefits. Hemp seed derivatives are also used in cosmetics. Slaski said Canada’s two major contractors of hemp seed, Hemp Oil Canada and Manitoba Harvest, have been increasing their contracted acres, and a value chain for fibre as well as seed is starting to develop. “This industry is growing and will be growing again because of market

pull, not because it’s such a fantastic crop,” he said. “It is indeed, but so what, if you cannot sell it, if you cannot use it and if you cannot make money on it?” Two firms have recently indicated plans to establish fibre plants in southern Alberta, and one of them, Stemia, is expected to break ground on a plant near Chin later this year. The other firm, Cylab International, also intends to build a decortication plant with planned start-up in 2015. Slaski said a market for hemp fibre

Canola like you’ve never seeded.

Tighter canola rotations and increasingly common prairie wind events have lead to massive seed deposits across the Canadian Prairies. Avoid reaping what you didn’t sow. Pardner® herbicide is now registered as a pre-season, tank-mix partner with Roundup WeatherMAX® herbicide and other glyphosate technologies for control of all volunteer canola, even if they’re resistant to other herbicide groups.

could be the turning point for the crop. “The question is not why hemp or if hemp. The question is when,” he said. “Once we have this facility … I think it will be a game changer in perception and it will be a driver that will be promoting and conducive to the increase of hemp acreage in southern Alberta.” Hemp fibre can be used in biocomposites for car parts, building materials, insulation, mulch and livestock bedding. Processing plants in southern Alberta could allow farmers to sell stockpiled fibre. Farmers can use cereal and oilseed equipment to seed and harvest hemp, but it is not always ideal for managing fibre. Applied research projects, including Farming Smarter in southern Alberta and the Smoky Applied Research and Demonstration Association in northern Alberta, aim to identify best management practices for the crop. Slaski said he hopes that returns from hemp crops will allow farmers to buy specialized equipment that is available in Europe, which will improve crop quality and profits. “When you put seeds in the ground, you have to know what you’re growing hemp for,” he said. “(The) agronomy is different if you grow hemp for grain, different if you grow for biocomposites, different if you grow for textiles. So you will be harvesting at different times, you will be using different cultivars or seeding at a different rate.”

HEMP FACTS • Hemp’s history in Canada dates back to the 1600s. • In the 1800s, it was grown and used for oil, rope, clothing and paper. • The crop fell out of favour when cotton and jute from other countries became readily available. • Production took a further downturn with the development of synthetic materials. • Canada prohibited hemp production in 1938 as part of a battle against the abuse of the psychoactive ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other controlled substances. • Canada legalized industrial hemp in 1998, but growers must still obtain a licence from Health Canada. • Industrial hemp, cannabis sativa, has less than .3 percent THC. • The most common varieties contracted and grown in Canada are Alyssa, Anka, CRS-1, CFX-1, CFX-2, Delores and Finola. • About 67,000 acres of industrial hemp were grown in Canada last year. • About 100,000 acres are projected to be grown in the 2014-15 crop year.

SCIENCE | PUBLIC DISCOURSE

Public willing to talk about GMOs Educating customers | Agriculture industry told to inform ‘middle ground’ about its values BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Members of the public are more willing to learn about biotechnology than cynics give them credit for, says agriculture biotechnology and consumer psychology expert Cami Ryan. However, farmers and the rest of the agricultural industry need to be willing to talk with them and tell them true stories in their own language if they want to be believed. “Leading with the scientific facts is not going to get us anywhere,” Ryan told the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention Feb. 26. “You have to lead with your values first.” Ryan said the industry shouldn’t be spooked by polls and surveys that suggest much of the public doesn’t like genetically modified organisms and modern technology. Most people are still open minded and willing to consider GMO issues fairly. “There’s a really broad middle ground that we need to pay special attention to,” said Ryan. “I think they’re a group of reasoned thinkers, that part of the public, and they’re still trying to decide now what they think about GMOs and genetic engineering.” The respect that scientists and experts traditionally enjoyed has been replaced by mistrust and sometimes hostility. Scientific education and literacy have greatly declined, so many people don’t understand fundamental concepts. As well, Ryan said the traditional language of science doesn’t help bridge the divide. The rationalistic, top-down, patriarchal manner of informing the public now get’s people’s backs up rather than making concerned people feel mollified, Ryan said. Farmers need to talk about who they are and why they think technology such as genetic modification is good rather than trying to win people over by explaining the complexities of the underlying science, she added. As well, they shouldn’t spend all their time arguing with activists who aren’t likely to change their views. Rather than they should focus on more open-minded people: women in general, “mommy-bloggers,” educated young people and young people in general. Ryan said activists and opponents of genetic modification and other types of science are experts at using social media to spread their message. As a result, farmers and others in the industry need to use those methods, too. She said they need to talk to members of the public in the way that they think, but they have to make sure they don’t compromise the truth to appeal to them. The message needs to be accurate, accountable and authentic, she added. “Behind all these stories is good science,” said Ryan.

“Industry, and I mean everyone along the value chain, needs to take a more direct role in discrediting those erroneous claims that are out there.… When science and industry don’t step in and proactively anticipate and manage issues, it leaves things wide open for those with political agendas and ulterior motive to fill in those gaps.”

“She has certain heroic characteristics with a certain bloody mindedness,” he said. Macphail moved into farm groups at a time when women were typically serving in women’s auxiliaries and institutes, he said. “She just would not have any truck or trade with that sort of notion,” said Crowley. “She would compete in the arena where males compete and make a difference thereby.” Women’s contributions were marginalized and weaker than the men’s because of the roles assigned to these segregated organizations “She broke that barrier,” said Crowley. Macphail argued that women have as much dignity as men and derive as much benefit from work as men. She was an early advocate of equal pay for work of equal value and fought to enhance women’s position on the farm, arguing for full equal roles or independent farmer status. On the political front, she was elected to government on the heels of women winning the right to vote. She was the first female MP in 1921 and the only one during her tenure. Crowley said she provided a voice for the plight of women and children, such as her work helping negotiate pensions for the poor with Mackenzie King’s Liberal government. However, Valerie Korinek, history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, said she was hindered by being in a reformist party and never being elected to government office. Despite that, she managed to advance the profile of farming and women’s roles in farm operations. Macphail was part of a group that built on gains made by early suffragettes and women who joined the paid workforce during the war years. “They were valued for their contribution to improving the lives of women and children but also to give women a voice to voice political concerns ultimately heard by the larger farm organization and movements,” Korinek said. Crowley said Macphail’s earliest struggle was to convince her family to let her attend high school, which required a change in thinking for a family of modest means. She began life on a small farm and was heavily influenced by her Scottish father, who was considered “a wit and a wag” who got on well with people. Macphail went on to teach in rural Ontario and Alberta, hone her rhetorical skills and rise quickly through the United Farmer ranks. Crowley said her’s was a tale of personal growth, dedication and forcefulness. He and Korinek said she drew attention to many issues at home, including deplorable conditions in jails, the separation of young offenders from adult prisoners, the plight of miners in Cape Breton and the British treatment of the Chinese in Shanghai. Korinek placed Macphail squarely among a tide of influential women, which included former Western Producer women’s editor Violet McNaughton, who made a difference and were symbols of what women could achieve.

“She contributed to that overall impression that women could achieve formal political participation,” she said. “It goes to show how an individual with determination and desire to make a change can really make a change.” A minister presiding over her funeral best summed up the many challenges she faced in her lifetime. “Her life might have been much easier, but this was the path she chose, the craggy course.”

Input sought on rural economic development Action plan | Officials will be surveying eight rural communities in Alberta this spring BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Rural Albertans will be asked to help create a rural economic development action plan over the next six weeks, said Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson. Five government MLAs will travel to eight rural Alberta communities in March and April looking for ideas about how to maintain and enhance the economy of rural Alberta. “We want to ensure we have the right government programs and services in place and they’re working together to maximize benefits for our communities,” Olson said during a conference call. “We want to maintain and enhance conditions to ensure that economy grows and will be beneficial to all Albertans.” About 500 people will be invited to the discussions, which will focus on five themes: industry and business development ; financial and capital access; workforce development; regional co-ordination and rural economic infrastructure capacity. “We don’t want unfocused meandering around the province.” Olson said the provincial government wants to ensure communities have the resources they need to help establish new value-added industries. Alberta premier Alison Redford j o i n e d t h e c o n f e re n c e c a l l t o encourage participation in the discussion. “This is an incredibly important discussion that we need to have that will lead to very specific action in the next two years that is going to allow us to keep opening new markets, to invest in families and communities and ensure we continue to grow,” she said. “It’s about ongoing economic development through the province focusing on rural Alberta where we have such tremendous amount of opportunity.” Olson said the information gathered during the discussions will form the basis of a report to help guide government decisions. “We want to ensure we have the right government programs and services in place and they’re working together to maximize benefits for our communities,” he said. “It will help us focus on a clear set of shared priorities with our community partners.” Olson said he acknowledges other studies have also focused on rural Alberta, but he hopes this will help identify everything from “quick fixes” to long-term visions. “We want to hear some visioning for long-term and legacy projects that will make a difference a couple generations down the road,” he said.

“I am all in favour of wish lists.” Olson said an example of a quick fix may be AFSC increasing its lending limit to farmers. Olson said opposition MLAs would not be part of the committee.

Demand for farm products boosts U.S. farm lender’s income Earnings up following drought | Strong sales of cropland contribute to greater demand for services for U.S. Farm Credit System CHICAGO (Reuters) — An American government farm lender says fourth quarter earnings rose nearly 19 percent, boosted by strong demand for farm products. The U.S. Farm Credit System, a government-sponsored enterprise and the single-largest lender to U.S. agriculture, uses proceeds from debt securities issued to domestic and foreign investors to fund farmers and agribusiness. It earned $1.141 billion for the quarter that ended Dec. 31, up from $960 million in the same period a year earlier.

Annual earnings for 2013 climbed to $4.64 billion, or 12.7 percent from $4.118 billion in 2012, which was a drought year for U.S. farmers. “Strong global and domestic demand for U.S. agricultural products continued throughout 2013, enhancing the earnings of agricultural producers and contributing to s o l i d e a r n i n g s ,” s a i d T r a c e y McCabe, chief executive officer of the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corp., which funds FCS’s securities. “Capitalization remains strong and the System is well positioned to with-

stand adverse changes that may arise in future agricultural economic conditions.” Full-year earnings reflected a three percent rise in net interest income to $6.674 billion because of higher loan volume and a loan loss reversal of $31 million. That compared with a provision for loan losses of $313 million in 2012. They were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $139 million. FCS’s fourth quarter net income increased by $181 million, primarily reflecting a loan loss reversal of $40

million in 2013, compared with a provision for loan losses of $125 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross loans grew by $9.156 billion, or 4.8 percent, to $201.06 billion Dec. 31 from the end of 2012. Demand increased for real estate mortgages, production, processing and marketing loans. “ R e a l e s t at e m o r t ga g e l o a n s increased primarily due to continued strong demand for cropland in the Midwest,” the System said. Overall, borrowers’ financial conditions remained very favourable due to the high levels of farmers’ net

cash income over the past several years, the FCS said. It cited the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2014 forecast for farmers’ net cash income to decrease to $101.9 billion, a $28.2 billion decrease from 2013 but $11 billion above the 10-year average. The projected decrease is primarily because of an expected drop in crop receipts of $26.7 billion, according to USDA. FCS also reported that cash and investments rose by $4.965 billion to $51.893 billion Dec. 31, compared with a year earlier.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Federation of Agriculture ended last year in a strong financial position despite the loss of four members. An $80,000 budget deficit projected for the year after the Canadian Pork Council, CWB, Pioneer HiBred and the Canadian Horticultural Council left the organization did not materialize. In fact, CFA ended the year with a surplus, delegates to its annual meeting heard last week. A streamlined governance structure, reduced spending and the addition of a new associate member, Equine Canada, resulted in a total surplus of $90,465. Income was 7.1 percent higher than budget, and expenses were 11.9 percent under budget. Still, the organization is projecting a $23,000 deficit for this year. Executive director Brigid Rivoire said in her report to the meeting that CFA adapted to change. “The 2012 benchmark member survey, in addition to discussions with members’ boards, highlighted a growing disconnect and general lack of awareness and understanding of the work of the CFA office beyond the CFA representatives and members’ general managers,” she wrote. Ho w e v e r, m e m b e r s v o t e d i n favour of bylaw changes that streamlined the organization and targeted financial and human resources, she said. A special committee was formed to work on revenue enhancement, ongoing policy committees were discontinued and special issue committees were established. “ Through the concer ted and combined efforts of staff and elected, the projected $83,000 deficit budget was eliminated, with no decrease but rather an increase in offerings and services to members,” Rivoire said. The special issue committees i n c l u d e d t a x a t i o n , p i p e l i n e s, research and trade policy review.

Farmer finances new venture with cash raised online Crowdsourcing | Prince Edward Island grower finds money and new customers online BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

A line of donkeys, led by a molly mule, trek through aspen bush in search of forage, west of Millarville, Alta. The harsh winter across much of the country, and especially on the Prairies, has been tough on wildlife and livestock. Deep snow with a crusted surface, along with frigid temperatures, has resulted in farmers and ranchers having to provide hay for those that cannot dig through to the grass. | WENDY DUDLEY PHOTO

Organic farmer Raymond Loo sells vegetables at the Charlottetown farmers’ market.

When the beef vendor started talking about retiring, Loo was keen to take over his spot as well, but he knew he would have to buy more cattle — about $12,000 worth. He could have borrowed the money from Farm Credit Canada, but then he would have had to join Agri-Stability and pay an administration fee in addition to interest. Then a friend suggested he try crowdsourcing. “Why not get your customers to be your banker?” he said. So in April 2012, Loo launched his campaign on the indiegogo site. Contributors could pre-purchase two chickens, 25 pounds of pork or 20 lb. of beef for $40, $70 and $100, respectively. All the meat is organic and grass fed. Enthusiasts who don’t live in the province could support his campaign for $20. For $1,000, islanders could buy the Dinner for 10 prepared by Adam Loo, Raymond’s son and chef at Charlottetown’s Brickhouse. The dinner, with servers and a butler in attendance, included farm raised vegetables, grass-fed beef and chicken and crème brule for dessert. Loo’s goal was to raise $12,000. Within two weeks, he had raised $12,660. Indiegogo does charges a fee: four percent of the money that is raised if the goal is met and nine percent if the goal isn’t met. As well, it’s an American site so the exchange rate must be considered. It ended up costing Loo about the same as the bank, but with one big difference. “I got about 104 new customers,” he said. “It’s amazing what social media does. I think farmers, especially small farmers, need to plug into these things. I think there’s a lot of opportunity.”

A “veg plot in a pot,” says Thompson & Morgan, which charges $25.63 for each TomTato plant. The plants weren’t genetically modified. Instead, each hybrid plant is individually hand grafted. Potatoes and tomatoes are both members of the nightshade family, which makes them compatible for grafting. It is only available in Britain.

Holstein daughters receive more milk Lactation study | Data shows sex of dairy cow offspring influences the animal’s ability to produce milk BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Researchers at Kansas State University and Harvard University have found that Holstein dairy cows produce significantly more milk for their daughters during lactation than for their sons. An examination of 2.39 million lactation records from 1.49 million dairy cows showed that the sex of the fetus influenced the capacity of the mammary gland to synthesize milk. “I was pretty surprised,” said Barry Bradford, associate professor with KSU’s animal sciences and industry department. “(After doing) the math on the data that we got, and we had some pretty big numbers, I was floored with the in utero influence when cows got pregnant with a heifer.” The data was collected from lactation records managed by the Dairy Records Management Systems in Raleigh, North Carolina, from 1995-99. “That was a conscious choice,” said Bradford. “The main reason was that semen became commercially available in early 2000 and at that point many producers didn’t just randomly decide to breed for sex. Then you get a non-random distribution of males and females.” Female mammals pay high energy costs for reproduction, the greatest of which are the demands imposed from lactation. The synthesis of milk is essential to nourish the young, but few studies have looked at whether there is a fetal sex bias to promote milk production during pregnancy. Nutritional and endocrine conditions for the fetus are known to have long-term effects on progeny, but the ways in which the progeny have sustained physiological effects on the dam have received little attention. The development of the mammary gland begins during pregnancy and is influenced by maternal and placental hormones, especially lactogen, estrogen and progesterone. After birth, milk production is driven by the suckling of the calf. The degree to which milk volume is driven by the sex of the calf may reflect the cellular response in the mammary gland programmed by hormone signals from the fetus-placenta unit. Bradford’s team found a hormonal influence between the female fetus and the development of the mammary gland. Their study is the first direct evidence that the sex of a growing fetus can influence milk production. One of the questions Bradford and his colleague, Katie Hinde of Harvard’s human evolutionary biology department, explored was whether this was adaptive in evolutionary terms. “It could be that it is the way that the placental architecture exists in the cow,” said Bradford. “She happens to get more hormones from the fetus. There are lactogenic hormones coming from the female calf that are having an effect on the mammary glands, whereas they would not obviously be present

in the male calf.” Bradford’s team found that the sex of the fetus can enhance or diminish milk production even during an established lactation. The data also showed that the sex of the fetus in the first pregnancy influenced milk production in the second pregnancy. “Overall, the study showed a 1.3 per cent change in lactation,” said Bradford. “But there were larger impacts in the first lactation that resulted in a two percent (increased) effect. When the

cows became pregnant with female calves, they actually made more milk before they even gave birth. Some people argue it’s driven by calving needs, but that’s harder to explain. We think it’s a hormonal effect.” Cows that gave birth to two heifers in back-to-back pregnancies produced 445 kilograms more milk across the two lactations than cows giving birth to two male calves in back-to-back pregnancies. Bradford said cows have an “invasive” placenta, in which there is less

of a barrier for the blood to flow back and forth between the mother and the fetus. He theorized that this may have something to do with the cow not having much glucose, so there is competition between the mother and the fetus for that nutrient. As a result, the bovine placenta has, over evolutionary time, become more invasive than in many other species, and fetal hormones could access the mother’s blood circulation and influence the milk produc-

ing cells in the mammary gland. Bradford said they believe it is likely that the hormones from the fetus and the placenta differ between a male and a female calf. “We would like to follow up and do more studies to see if we can find some differences in hormones in the male and female fetuses.” The study, Holsteins favor heifers, not bulls: biased milk production programmed during pregnancy as a function of fetal sex, was published in the online journal PLOS One.

BIGGER CROPS WILL INCREASE PRESSURE TO SOLVE RAIL PROBLEMS

This year’s grain transportation problems might be an exceptional situation arising from a record crop and a long period of frigid weather, but it is a wake-up call for the need for new thinking in the grain handling and transportation sector. Expanding crop production will vie with other growing sectors of the economy for rail service. To avoid limitations caused by growth, shippers, railways and government must find ways to move greater volumes reliably. In this final part of his special report series, Brian Cross sums up the problems and sets out 14 issues that if addressed, could unlock Canada’s grain export potential.

o matter what farmers think about the current state of rail service, there is one fact that should never be in doubt: shipping western Canadian grain to market, especially in the dead of a western Canadian winter, is a massive challenge. And if you believe Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., the challenge will only become more onerous as prairie farmers continue to grow larger crops. Hemmes says Western Canada has traditionally exported 27 to 31 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds a year. Almost every kernel of that is loaded, unloaded, reloaded, unloaded a second time, then reloaded a third or fourth time and then hauled thousands of kilometres to markets around the world. The grain travels by road, rail and

water over hammered-out country roads, crumbling highways, mountain ranges and a railway system that has seen varying degrees of investment since it was built more than a century ago. And by all accounts, export volumes will continue to rise. As global demand for grain increases, and as western Canadian farmers become more adept at producing crops, more tonnes will be squeezed through a system that is already stressed and inadequate. Hemmes said average production of cereals, oilseeds, pulses and specialty crops in Western Canada was estimated at 40 to 45 million tonnes a year in the 1980s. Today, average production is more than 50 million tonnes a year, and growing. The 2013 harvest, easily the largest on record in Western Canada,

surpassed 75 million tonnes. “This is the new normal,” Hemmes told frustrated grain farmers at a recent grain transportation symposium in Assiniboia, Sask. Hemmes said grain movement patterns are also changing, including record volumes shipped through export terminals in Vancouver. The elimination of single desk grain marketing is not the only factor behind that growth, but it is a factor worth recognizing. It has prompted private sector companies to pursue new markets and look for ways to get grain to global markets more economically. Not all of those efforts have worked according to plan. Last year, the amount of Canadian durum flowing through west coast export facilities increased dramatically.

For years, durum shipments have moved primarily eastward, to Thunder Bay. Tim Heney, chief executive officer of the Thunder Bay Port Authority, said much of Vancouver ’s new durum business was prompted by low ocean freight rates. Grain companies were convinced it was more economical to move durum west, through Vancouver, then east through the Panama Canal to destinations in Europe and the Middle East. As illustrated by the number of ships waiting in Vancouver, grain companies will likely think twice before using a similar strategy this year. West coast shipments of canola are also up, largely because the Canadian canola industry is now producing larger crops with higher yields. Western Canadian canola yields routinely exceeded 50 bushels per acre last year. Based on those numbers, the canola industry was able to achieve two years earlier than expected its goal of producing 15 million tonnes of canola by 2015. T h e i n d u s t r y ha s n ow s e t i t s sights on an ambitious new pro-

duction target: 26 million tonnes of production by 2025. How much of that production can the industry reasonably expect to squeeze through existing export channels? “We’ve seen a big change in the movement or the flows of grain across Canada,” Hemmes said. “In the past eight or nine years of the Grain Monitoring Program, west coast movements have been between 14 and 16 million tonnes per year. But in the last four of five years, that number has jumped. It’s now up around 21 and a half million tonnes … and that’s a huge shift. Is that the new normal? We think it is.” Meanwhile, business at Canada’s major railway companies has never been better. Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway are running full out to serve Western Canada’s buoyant economy. Oil traffic is up, container shipments are up and potash traffic will only increase as new projects come online and existing ones expand production. CONTINUED ON PAGE 54

issues to consider to solve the grain movement crisis

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

n the winter of their discontent, western Canadian farmers and grain companies can do little but stand by and watch as delivery opportunities are lost, sales contracts are deferred, financial penalties are accrued and potential markets are lost. It’s been less than two years since Canada’s controversial decision to eliminate single desk marketing, and the country’s reputation as a reliable supplier of grain is taking a hit. In lieu of a simple solution, the concerns of grain industry stakeholders are more likely to be addressed over time through a series of measures that involve all players in Canada’s grain supply chain, including farmers, elevator companies, railways and government. As food for thought, here are 14 points to consider during the winter of 2014. 1. Data collection could be expanded on grain logistics and railway performance. Ottawa has already taken steps that will allow the grain industry to expand the Grain Monitoring Program and gain a better understanding of railway and supply chain performance. That’s a good first step. As Liberal agriculture critic Ralph Goodale suggests: “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” 2. Communication between grain companies and railways could be improved. Railway service plans suggesting 10,000 to 11,000 car spots per week or more are clearly out of whack. What are the railway companies’ realistic capabilities during different delivery periods and what steps can be taken to ensure that grain companies’ sales programs are more closely aligned with railway companies’ capacities?

3. What steps can be taken to improve logistical co-ordination at port? Can the Crop Logistics Working Group identify ways to ensure that grain deliveries arriving at port are more closely aligned with the products needed to load waiting vessels and execute sales programs on time? Is there merit in establishing a centralized logis-

tics desk managed by the Western Grain Elevators Association or some other agency?

4. Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier of grain to world markets is on the line. Should grain companies consider a system of industrywide maximum sales targets for different crop types during different months of the crop year? How much can reasonably be delivered to export position and to overseas buyers in each month of the year or each quarter?

9. Local solutions need to be identified and new programs developed that encourage value-added processing on the Prairies. Why ship abroad what can be processed at home and sold for greater value? What impact would an expanded livestock feeding industry have on grain marketing efforts on the Prairies?

5. Governments and companies need to make long-term investments in Canada’s infrastructure. The rail system that hauls prairie grain to market has served the country well for the past century, but it is running near full capacity. Current investments notwithstanding, is it time to look for new ways to get Canada’s products to market? New rails? New roads? New waterways? New public works projects? Is there merit in establishing dedicated grain-only transportation corridors to serve U.S. markets? 6. Should the railway revenue cap be kept? Does the Canadian grain industry really want to compete head-to-head with other industries such as oil and potash for limited railway capacity? Will higher freight rates for grain shippers mean better service? “We need to find a way to get railway companies to want to move grain,” said farmer Kent Erickson from Irma, Alta. Other than higher freight rates, what incentives can the grain industry come up with?

10. Diversify the crop mix and stick with rotations. In years when grain movement is restricted, farmers who depend heavily on export markets do so at their own peril. Diversify the crop mix. Explore local markets. Grow crops that are less reliant on rail and export markets. 11. For smaller growers, grain aggregation is critical. Pool grain volumes. Market collectively and aggressively. Some producers are already combining bushels to negotiate better delivery opportunities and contracts with reciprocal penalties and storage incentives. 12. What do short-line railway companies need to increase their business and expand their mar-

13. Make better use of existing export capacity. The five-year, $25 million Port of Churchill Utilization Program (PCUP) has shown how a modest investment by government can have a significant impact on regional shipping patterns. Compared to the impact that logistical bottlenecks have had on Western Canada’s economy this year, the PCUP’s $25 million price tag is a drop in the bucket.

7. Should crude oil be moved off the rail system and into pipelines? Safety aside, what are the costs associated with moving more crude oil on a rail system that has limited capacity and growing demand? 8. Would increased storage capacity in the country and at export position result in better system fluidity? In theory, low-cost bunker storage systems along prairie railway lines have the potential to eliminate one step in an already unwieldy supply chain. Would

Is the current regulatory regime governing rail performance and grain movement sufficient? What can be done to ensure that rail service is more in line with shippers’ needs? Does the Fair Rail Freight Service Act need to be amended? Does the government need to impose a system that supports monetary penalties for non-performance? In the words of Keith Bruch, vicepresident of Paterson Global Foods: “In our view, the government really has to decide whether … it’s acceptable to them to have the railways determine the economic priorities of Canada.”

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 52 Both railways reported record income last year, together generating about 3.56 billion in profit on revenue of $16.7 billion. And there are no indications that rail traffic is likely to decrease soon. The railways now suggest little or no western Canadian grain will move through southern and eastern railway corridors, at least in the short term. Grain markets in the United States are often too small to support unit trains, and car cycle times to the U.S. are too long, say industry experts. Besides, there are too many other products to move to the U.S. and Eastern Canada and not enough railway capacity to move grain as well. “We want to move grain. We want to move all commodities,” said CP president Hunter Harrison during a recent speech in Calgary. “(But) I don’t think Canada wants us to say, ‘just move the grain (and) forget about the coal and the potash and all the other stuff.’ ” Officials from CP and CN have stated repeatedly that agricultural shippers need to take a realistic look at the situation and alter their expectations. “Nobody was anticipating a crop of this size and I think that’s a reality that people really need to keep in mind,” said Mark Hallman, director of communications at CN.

“You can’t just move it all at once. You just simply can’t physically move the entire crop in a three-month period.” Railway officials note that rail car unloads at Vancouver this year are higher than the five year average. However, grain companies say that doesn’t excuse the railways for providing a level of service that is well below what was promised. According to service plans that were shared with grain companies last fall, the railways said 10,000 to 11,000 hopper cars would be spotted in the country each week. Recent estimates provided by the Western Grain Elevators Association show that the difference between the number of rail cars promised and the number actually delivered so far this year was 51,000 as of mid-February. That represents a shortfall of 4.6 million tonnes of grain that grain companies had promised to overseas buyers but had not been delivered on time. What remains to be answered is whether it was reasonable for railways to imply that 10,000 to 11,000 grain cars per week could be delivered and whether grain companies should have scrutinized those figures more closely and compared them with past railway performance. Perhaps cold weather affected everyone’s ability to make accurate projections.

Gerry Gault, a grain worker at Vancouver’s Cascadia Terminal and president of Grain Workers Union, Local 333, said poor railway performance isn’t the only factor affecting grain movement this winter. Coordination is also a major issue. Gault said Panamax vessels, which carry 50,000 to 60,000 tonnes of grain at a time, are waiting longer than ever to be loaded since single desk marketing was eliminated in 2012. At one point last month, more than 50 ships were waiting on the West Coast, accruing demurrage charges at an estimated rate of more than $600,000 per day. Gault said ships that used to collect partial loads of CWB grain at three or four export terminals in Vancouver are now collecting partial loads at one terminal, then sitting at anchor waiting for more tonnage from the same facility. In extreme cases, some ships have waited more than two months to be fully loaded. Is that a problem with railway service? Gault doesn’t think so, at least not entirely. “We believe that the biggest issue that the industry faces right now is logistical co-ordination,” said Gault, who has worked at Cascadia for 32 years. “Under the wheat board, if the board knew what vessels were coming in, they tried to get that product leaving the country and heading toward Vancouver. Now it doesn’t seem to have that same kind of cohesion.” At the same time, grain trains arriving in Vancouver often contain a larger mix of products, including canola, spring wheat, durum and soft white wheat. The arrival of those products is frequently out of sync with the ships that are waiting at port. “What I believe is needed for the industry as a whole is a co-ordination desk, where all the grain companies are putting through all of their information,” Gault said. “If there’s a vessel that’s waiting for seven or 8,000 tonnes to finish, they don’t have to get kicked out to har-

bour and wait a week or 10 days to finish. Instead, they can just move across the harbour, pick it up (from another terminal) and somebody in Winnipeg or Regina can figure out what the cost of that is.” He said rail deliveries to Vancouver have not been great this year, but disruptions in rail service to the West Coast are nothing new, especially in January and February. “Railway deliveries have been spotty at best, but we’ve always had that problem of the cargo not being here. That’s why the system of being able to jump from terminal to terminal worked best.” Gault said storage capacity is not a major concern on the West Coast. “We’ve definitely got the capacity here to handle everything. It’s just got to arrive at the right time,” he said. “It’ll take an awful lot of new farmland for farmers to be able to outgrow our existing capacity.” The WGEA agreed, saying last month that there was “significant untapped port terminal unload capacity in Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Thunder Bay.” Meanwhile, demands for a solution to this year’s marketing and logistical challenges are gaining momentum in Western Canada’s grain growing heartland. Last week, western premiers and agriculture ministers waded deeper into the murky world of railway regulation, demanding that Ottawa take immediate steps to ensure railway companies provide more timely and predictable rail service to agricultural shippers or be subject to financial penalties. Among other things, Ottawa has approved significant changes to the Grain Monitoring Program (GMP), which will provide more data on grain movement to the U.S. and through previously unmonitored corridors. GMP changes will also shed more light on car cycle times, the number of grain cars on order and the number of orders outstanding.

All told, the changes will help shippers and politicians paint a more complete picture of railway performance and the need for additional regulations or legislative amendments. Ottawa has also renewed the mandate of the Crop Logistics Working Group and is providing financial support for a five-year $3.2 million industry-led study that will look for ways to measure and improve the system’s ability to get products to market reliably and on time. The language used by federal and provincial politicians regarding railway ser vice has become more emphatic. “We’re definitively saying the federal government should look at all of its legislative options,” Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall said last week. “We’re way past the point when we’re losing international customers, when a sector of Canada’s economy is under the pressure it is, we are now past the point of trying to accommodate everyone’s interests on a volunteer basis. We need action.” Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson said the railways need motivation from the federal government to ensure they are maximizing their capacity to haul grain. “Waiting for some sort of collaborative, voluntary solution may not be leading us to the kind of quick action that we need,” he said. “We think the federal government needs to give the parties a push.” CP’s Harrison said finger pointing will do nothing to improve the situation. “Our people are out there scratching and fighting every night to move every bit of every commodity that wants to be moved,” he said. “I think some of my frustration … is that we’re becoming so divisive that everything is finger pointing. If we could just stop and quit criticizing … and sit down at the table and see if we could work this out in civil ways.” ALL PARTS OF THIS SERIES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE AT PRODUCER.COM

Switching from trains to trucks New logistics | Farmers make alternative plans to move grain to port BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It’s a long and winding road from grain growing country in southeastern Manitoba to Thunder Bay, Ont. — more than 600 kilometres one way. But this winter, a round trip of 1,200 km through the northern Ontario wilderness is no deterrent for farmers and grain companies who are going to great lengths to move Manitoba grain. Sources in southern Manitoba and Thunder Bay say trucks have been lining up to move grain and oilseeds from southeastern Manitoba to the north shore of Lake Superior. Tracey Shelton, director of corporate communications, said Richardson started hauling canola to its Thunder Bay port facilities last week. “We are indeed trucking grain to Thunder Bay ... from the southern Manitoba area …,” Shelton said. “We’ve got some space in Thunder Bay so we’re trucking as much as we can from where it makes sense.” Shelton said moving grain from Richardson’s elevator system will open up additional space in the country where capacity is limited. Tim Heney, chief executive officer with the Thunder Bay Port Authority, said trucks have been unloading at CWB’s Mission Terminal as well as export facilities owned by Richardson. “Trucks are being unloaded in Thunder Bay, in limited numbers, at the current time,” Heney said in a March 5 email. “While trucking to the port is not unprecedented, we are seeing higher than average numbers.” Moving grain by road to Thunder Bay is one of the few options available to farmers in southeastern Manitoba this winter. Canadian oats are also being trucked south of the border. Opportunities to move grain by rail have been slow at best. Heney said Thunder Bay had less than 250,000 tonnes of grain in storage as of mid-February “That’s about 55 percent below the normal five-year average,” he said. “Total storage capacity here is about 1.2 million tonnes so there’s very little in storage, actually.” Derek Drayson, an official with Mission Terminal, confirmed that grain is being shipped from Manitoba, but he declined to say what types of grain are moving and where the grain is being sourced. “We are handling some trucks for some of our customers,” he said. “ Unfor tunately I can’t give a whole lot (of detail) in terms of geography.” Drayson said rail service to Thunder Bay since late fall has been slower than usual — below the level that terminals had anticipated. Heney said rail shipments to Thunder Bay were steady until November or December. Then the ice closed in and the supply of rail cars delivering grain to the port ended. “There never was a big supply (of grain) in the elevators here,” he said. “It was moving almost on a just-intime basis, so when the (shipping)

season closed, they basically ended the rail shipments completely … and there really wasn’t any effort to fill the elevators at that point.” Trucking grain to empty terminals at Thunder Bay will provide temporary relief to country grain buyers who have little or no capacity left in their facilities. However, the costs involved with trucking are high, meaning lower returns for farmers. Heney said the port normally sees an increase in rail movements in mid to late March.

Projecting Thunder Bay’s export volumes this year could be more difficult than usual, given that rail resources have been prioritized to serve other shippers. Last year, Richardson had a strong shipping program through Thunder Bay. Viterra’s business was down. “It’s hard to determine because now, without the Canadian Wheat Board, it’s really up to individual grain companies … as to how much grain they move east through the seaway,” Heney said.

SYDNEY (Reuters) — Australian meat processors normally operate part time at this time of year as cattle gorge on summer grass.

els that have already been touted. Slaughter rates have hit three consecutive weekly highs, which could prompt the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) to raise its forecasts on beef exports. New evidence of rocketing shipments from Australia will drag on global prices. While beleaguered Australian farmers grapple with local cattle prices at four-year lows, abattoirs are earning fat margins by selling onto Asian markets hungry for beef. “Normally at this time of year, there has been rain and processors are running at fewer days as they are having trouble sourcing cattle,” said Tim McRae, senior economist at Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA). “But at the moment, it’s the complete opposite.” In December, ABARES forecast that beef exports would rise seven percent in the 2013-14 marketing year to a record of 1.085 million tonnes, accounting for slightly less than half of national beef output. However, the increased supply of meat on the back of a drought entering a second year should push exports beyond that figure, with Australia’s agriculture department saying shipments in the first half of 201314 climbed 18 percent from the previous year to 668,755 tonnes. “While I’m not sure exports can sustain that pace, ABARES could increase its estimate,” said MLA’s McRae. However, the drought could eventually result in beef shor tages because of reduced breeding stock that would provide fewer cattle for slaughterhouses. Asian demand for beef is soaring as increasingly affluent middle classes develop a taste for high-protein western diets and fast-food such as hamburgers. Pan Chenjun, senior analyst at Rabobank in Beijing, said beef in China’s retail market is priced at $10.06 per kilogram, which is much higher than the $2.71 a kg that Australian processors are paying for cattle. “Beef prices in China are already quite high, and in the longer term we don’t expect prices to decline as there is a shortage in the domestic market,” she said. “The shortage is mainly due to lower domestic production, imports are increasing very fast but imports can’t cover the shortfall.” The weaker local dollar makes Australian beef particularly appealing, analysts said. The currency fell more than 15 percent against the U.S. dollar last year and is nearly unchanged this year. “Cattle came strongly into the market in 2013 and that has continued into this year as well, while on the other side there has been strong demand from key markets like China,” said Matt Costello, Rabobank animal proteins analyst. “Processors have been winning at the expense of the farmer.”

WET OR DRY. WORK IN THE MOST CHALLENGING CONDITIONS

RTS SERIES

Glenmor offers you Degelman Degelman designers are passionate about getting it right. Farm tools with the least amount of moving parts will simply last longer. Degelman is renowned for building overbuilt and under complicated equipment. Less is always more. A Pro-Till® cultivator has the unique ability to cultivate and warm the soil during cold wet conditions when all other forms of tillage plug and fail. In the midst of a long wet spring, getting seed in the ground to allow adequate time for the growing season is critical. Heavy cold soils need to be black and warm for ideal germination conditions. In as little as one day and after one pass, frigid heavy residue soil is cut, turned, mixed, reactivated, warmed, topically dried and ready for planting/seeding. Pro-Till® in the spring can mean the difference between success and failure. Call Glenmor today, or visit www.degelman.com

Glenmor welcomes Salford Glenmor proudly welcomes Salford Farm Machinery as their newest line of farm equipment. The Salford RTS series are high speed residue management tools that take on cool wet soils in spring to help accelerate soil warming and improve seed to soil contact. The RTS helps to alleviate compaction, and independently mounted coulters have almost no residue limitations. Salford also offers a full line of tillage tools and precision air seeding equipment.

Through the expansion of maize cultivation in the past few years in particular, the plough has regained its importance as a primary cultivator. The reduction of plant diseases, mechanical pest control due to increasing chemical resistance, and the fight against new pests, are among the most important tasks facing a plough today. Recent research has shown that loosening and aerating the root zone, with a plough, can improve the formation of rape roots, for example, thus laying the foundation for high and guaranteed yields.

Step into the productivity of a new Guardian™ front boom sprayer from New Holland and you won’t turn back. With the boom in front, you have a complete unobstructed view of every nozzle. This outstanding visibility means you can run the boom closer to the ground to control drift. Spray is delivered into the crop before the first tires go over it, eliminating the potential for dust to neutralize the spray. Start achieving a new level of spraying freedom and productivity. THE HIGHEST HORSEPOWER AVAILABLE – UP TO 365 HP THE LARGEST TANK SIZES – UP TO 1,600 GALLONS THE HIGHEST CROP CLEARANCE – SIX FEET THE TIGHTEST TURNING – 15-FOOT TURNING RADIUS THE SMOOTHEST SUSPENSION – 20 INCHES OF TRAVEL

Since 1993 our IPD “Grooved” bearings have helped reduce bearing cavitation on 3406 B, C and E engines.

IPD = Innovation, Not Just Imitation

Most aftermarket companies are content offering “copy cat” parts by attempting to duplicate the look of the original. IPD offers products that perform as well as the original and finds ways to improve engine performance or engine life. This can result in greater savings in long-term cost per hour for engine owners.

We Stock:

Inframe kits, Cylinder Heads, Turbos, Waterpumps, Oil Pumps, Oil Coolers & Injectors

ARBORG, Man. — Standing in front of a display table, Richard Grosshans grabbed a plastic bag filled with dried cubes that Mr. Magoo might have mistaken for shredded wheat cereal. While edible, if desperate, the cubes are not made of wheat. They are 50 percent straw and 50 percent cattail.

“These are hybrid fuel cubes,” Grosshans said. “(It) is essentially a biomass replacement for coal. It’s a densified or compressed product, so it’s easily fed into a biomass stoker boiler system and it creates an energy value that is equivalent to wood.” Grosshans, a research associate with the International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD) in Winnipeg, has worked with cattails for five years: He has two goals: • Capture phosphorus before it enters Lake Winnipeg • Prove the wetland plant can be harvested as a fuel source for bioenergy In early March, Grosshans provided an update of his efforts at a biomass workshop in Arborg. Grosshans and his colleagues have focused on harvesting cattails from the Netley-Libau marsh, where the Red River enters Lake Winnipeg. Cattails absorb nitrogen and phosphorus, but the plants eventually decompose and return the nutrients to the water. Harvesting the plant before it degrades could potentially reduce the amount of phosphorus entering Lake Winnipeg. Grosshans’ research confirmed it is feasible, but in practice extremely difficult, to harvest a substantial amount of cattail from the marsh because water levels can change dramatically from day to day on Lake Winnipeg. European engineers have designed specialized machinery for harvesting biomass from perpetually wet areas, but Grosshans has taken his cattail research in a different direction. “There are cattails all over the (Lake Winnipeg) watershed, and those cattails are busily absorbing nutrients within the watershed,” he said. “So instead of addressing the problem right at the mouth of the river … you can address these issues in the watershed … (and) remove those nutrients before they get downstream.” For example, pastureland may be inundated with cattails in wet years. “It’s these marginal land areas that farmers are constantly struggling to get value out of. These are very good areas for producing stuff like cattail,” Grosshans said. “There’s a lot of cattail available in ditch wetland areas, (water) retention sites. Areas that are wet in the springtime but dry up in the fall.” In 2012 and 2013, Grosshans and his colleagues harvested cattails from Pelly’s Lake, a wetland near Holland, Man. With the help of Harvey Chorney, Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute vice-president in Manitoba, they adapted conventional hay harvesting methods and devised approaches suitable for cattails. “The different technique we used this year (2013) was we used a disc mower conditioner,” Chorney said. “It has rotary discs to be able to cut material instead of a sickle blade. It can go faster and quicker.”

The cattails are harvested after dry down with a large-square baler and then compressed into cubes or pellets, which can be burned in biomass burners and pellet stoves. Grosshans said their experimentation on Pelly’s Lake suggests it’s possible to harvest cattail on a commercial scale. “We really improved the efficiency, which means we improved the economics,” he said. “By being able to do it more efficiently and on a larger scale … it really makes it economic feasible, just like straw bales or any other kind of harvesting.” Eugene Gala, an engineer with Biovalco, which designs and installs biomass heating systems for commercial, agricultural and institutional applications, said cattails are an excellent source of fuel. “We’ve done the testing … and it works beautifully,” he said. “After the wood (pellets), cattails would be my next choice.” T h e Ma n i t o b a c o m p a n y h a s installed solid fuel heating systems for more than 100 clients in North America, but cattail cubes aren’t yet available in commercial quantities. Biomass demand is poised to expand rapidly because burning coal for heat will be prohibited in Manitoba as of June 30, 2017. Seventy Hutterite colonies in Manitoba burn coal to heat barns, fabrication shops and other buildings. More broadly, the province is enthusiastically touting the potential of a biomass industry and is offering incentives to promote opportunities. Grosshans said cattail cubes could become a major source of biomass fuel for Hutterites and other users because Manitoba has an abundant supply. “It’s anywhere from two million up to five million tonnes annually available,” he said. “Cattail could be looked as a bioenergy crop, but the great thing about cattail is you don’t have to plant it and it wants to grow.”

CATTAILS AND ENVIRONMENT Cattail cubes may be a potential source of energy, but how will cutting and removing the wetland plant affect waterfowl and other wildlife? Richard Grosshans, a research associate with the International Institute of Sustainable Development, says detrimental effects can be managed. “Depending on when you harvest, there is a very sustainable and renewable way of harvesting cattail. If you harvest later in the fall, you can avoid wildlife impacts.” In fact, removing cattail and using it to make biomass cubes is a way to control a highly competitive plant. “You’re removing this species that grows very aggressively and … chokes out other species,” he said. “(It) tends to create these patches of wetland with no open water, which is not very good for wildlife.”

LIVESTOCK | ANTIBIOTIC USE

U.S. takes steps to slow antibiotic resistance Food and Drug Administration released guidelines | Intent is to stop using important medications for growth promotion BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Antibiotics were once called wonder drugs because they combatted potentially fatal bacterial diseases, but a growing list of microbes resisting treatment has become worrisome. That concern is partly behind the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines that were released in December to voluntarily eliminate the use of medically important antibiotics for growth promotion in livestock. Use of these drugs to make animals grow better or to prevent disease is often criticized, said Reynold Bergen, head of the Beef Cattle Research Council. When antimicrobial resistance occurs among bacteria in livestock, there is concern those bugs could spread to the human population and reduce the effectiveness of drugs. “The assumption is that there is abuse of drugs in livestock production and that is putting consumers at risk,” he said at the Alberta Beef Industry Conference held in Red Deer Feb. 18-20. “We need these drugs to be effective so we can keep our animals healthy, and we need human drugs to be effective as well.” Antibiotics are categorized as very high importance, high importance, medium importance and low importance to human health. Those in the highest category are rarely used to treat livestock. Canada conducts routine surveillance of livestock and meat sold at the retail level looking for resistant bacteria. The Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance’s most recent report found significantly low levels of bacteria with resistance to antimicrobials. Producers use ionophores for growth and feed efficiency in cattle, but there is growing pressure to remove them from the market. However, no one can show whether it would make any difference to human health if they were banned. Denmark banned the products for routine use in 1994 and found that veterinarians eventually prescribed an increased amount of more powerful drugs. However, the Danes have also found few resistance problems in the very important drug category. Research is about to start in Canada on antimicrobial use in feedlots, which will assess samples from cattle, manure, soil and water. The study will include DNA sequencing from resistant bacteria to see if the same ones are present in cattle and human medicine. More research is needed on the risk to human health, said Dorothy Krysak Erickson, manager of veterinary services with Zoetis. “Resistance eventually shows up to nearly every compound we have discovered. It happens naturally and it is very inevitable,” she said. Why resistance occurs is not fully understood. It could be a spontaneous change to the genes, a transfer of DNA from another microbe or the result of exposure to antibiotics such as penicillin. Resistant bacteria survive and mul-

The use of antibiotics in animal feed as a routine practice is drawing more attention. | tiply when medication is used. “The more we use our antibiotics, the more we are going to select for these resistant bacteria that exist,” she said. All pharmaceutical companies report drug use and resistance issues to a global database. The information goes to Health Canada’s Veterinary Drug Directorate, which uses it to track possible resistance problems. For example, pharmaceutical companies know some resistance is occurring in mannheimia haemolytica, which causes bovine respiratory disease, also called shipping fever, and want to track how fast it is increasing. Low levels of M. haemolytica resistance to eight products were found in Canada in 2012. Off label medications is another controversial issue. Canada allows extra label use, in which a different dose or combination of drugs may be used to treat an infection not listed on the label. The United States has more restrictions on extra use, and in some cases off label use is illegal. “Canadian regulations allow us a lot of freedom to work with our veterinarians and treat our animals as appropriate,” Krysak Erickson said. Trevor Alexander of Agriculture Canada said alternatives to antibiotics exist, but they are not always as effective in real life settings as they are in the laboratory. Supplementing feed with yeasts, probiotics and plant compounds such as tannins, phenolics and essential oils have been tried with mixed results. “It doesn’t always work in a real setting,” he said. Bacteriophages show promise. They are viruses that attack bacteria and have been tested since the 1930s. Most work stopped because antibiotics were so successful. Interest in using phages to kill E. coli O157:H7 has renewed as resistance problems have increased, but little research has been done to limit pathogens that harm cattle. Alexander said vaccines should be used in conjunction with antibiotics, especially treatments that have been developed using DNA technology. “There are no alternatives that are as good as antibiotics,” he said. “Vaccines actually are very good and efficacious, but probiotics, not so much.”

CATTLE | AUCTION

On-farm auction draws big crowd and 100 sales Zuchkan farm | Foam Lake, Sask., ranchers cut costs by holding their own auction BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

FOAM LAKE, Sask. — Willy and John Zuchkan are smiling three days after their successful on-farm auction. They sold 100 bred heifers and were pleased with the prices their cattle brought. It was the sixth consecutive year that they have hosted the biggest and arguably the best party in the area. Around 200 people drove to the Zuchkan farm near Foam Lake Feb. 15 for the sale. The coffee was on starting at 8 a.m. and the doughnuts were fresh. Buyers had plenty of time to view the animals on offer and check out a lunch spread. The Zuchkan herd is a three-way cross of Charolais, Simmental and Angus. The family started raising heifers

about 13 years ago when they were expanding their herd. Willy said buying mature cows often meant buying animals that were nearing the end of their productive years. “So we figured we’d buy heifers,” he said. “Now we’ve built up the herd enough so we can sell bred heifers every year and still keep the cow population at around 600.” The BSE crisis of the early 2000s forced the Zuchkans to find ways to cut costs. At that time, they were hauling their cattle to auction at Kelvington, Sask., more than 100 kilometres away. “We thought, ‘well, what have we got to lose?’ ” John said. “Why not have the sale at home? If the demand isn’t there, we’ll just calve them out ourselves. It beats hauling them to an auction and then hauling half of them back.” They also save on fees charged by

panels and drill stem pipe recycled from drilling rigs. They covered the roof with a 60 by 120 foot tarp and set up heaters to keep the space warm. “We couldn’t get enough heat,” John said. “The wind was still blowing, but the people still came.” The people continued to come, and eventually the brothers built the heated workshop where they now hold their sales. The bleachers, which the Zuchkans also built, were packed at last month’s sale and more folks walked around, drinking coffee and checking out lunch. John said up to 75 percent of the people at the auction don’t come to buy cattle. “It’s become kind of a social event in the neighbourhood. They just come for a visit and a coffee. Everybody says you should be charging for the meal. I don’t agree with that. I look at that as cheap advertising. These people will go back to their hometown or their coffee shop and they’ll talk about the sale and the cattle. We get a lot of repeat buyers.” The Zuchkans advertise the sale in the local newspaper, run a radio ad the week of the sale and post it on

Kijiji and Facebook. “But even if we didn’t advertise, I think we’d still get a good turnout,” John said. Having the sale at home is also a big plus for the heifers. “The cattle are much calmer, more content at home,” said Willy. “And a lot of the buyers like to come and see the herd, see your setup. Then they see where the cattle came from, what kind of environment they’ve been in, how they’re fed. You wouldn’t get that if you were combined with a multiple group in an auction barn.” John said the worst part of the sale might be the week leading up to the event. “We always want to make sure we do better than we did the year before,” he said. “The week before the sale is just lots of stress, making sure everything is right, making sure it’s safe. You’re always thinking of ways to make sure everything goes smoothly. We’re fortunate we have a large family and lots of help. Everybody in back was family: nephews, sons, and daughters, sons-in-laws. Everybody comes out and they’re more than happy to help out because it’s a fun weekend.”

WILDLIFE DAMAGE | PRODUCER LOSSES

More producer input into wildlife damage sought The survey deadline has been extended to gather more information from producers BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

AIRDRIE, Alta. — An Alberta wildlife damages survey deadline has been extended to March 31. Alberta Beef Producers is working with the Miistakis Institute at Mount Royal University in Calgary to gain a better understanding of the extent and costs of wildlife on a regional and provincial scale. The survey hopes to assess populations and provide information to the province about whether current com-

pensation programs are adequate. “We are trying to capture the dollar amount and we are asking people what it has cost them over a five year period,” said Fred Hay of ABP. The goal is to get back 2,000 surveys through the online and written versions of the survey. Kim Good, a researcher with the institute, understands the problem from both sides. She farms near Carstairs, Alta., where moose raiding canola fields is common. “The moose love our canola,” she told the landowner group, Action for

Agriculture at a meeting near Airdrie, Alta., March 7. Alberta landscapes support a wide diversity of wildlife, but the conflicts are growing as farming, mining, logging and urban development pushes animals into human territory. “We appreciate seeing them. If they are eating our chickens, it is a different topic,” she said. Good said it is a global problem, in which elephants raid gardens in Uganda, otters eat farmed fish in Germany and carnivores attack reindeer in northern Sweden. Producers have

Canada may open door to Mexican beef

” Dutch Openers is very focused on product quality and performance. Not to mention that their customer service is excellent.“ JACK WHETTER, KERROBERT, SK

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Mexican beef could be exported to Canada following the all clear from food safety inspectors. Canadian meat inspectors have audited Mexican beef plants and deemed them to be equivalent to Canadian plants, Claudine Pagé of Agriculture Canada told the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting held in Ottawa March 4-7. The exports are likely to be trim or beef for further processing. “Beef from Mexico will not displace Canadian product,” said Rob Meijer, manager of Canada Beef Inc. Mexico is already exporting some beef to the United States and Japan. Negotiations are also continuing on allowing Canada to ship beef to Mexico from cattle older than 30 months. Mexico was a solid customer of Canadian beef before BSE was discovered in Canada in 2003.

Only a few minor exterior changes are noticeable as New Holland moves to Tier 4B emissions compliance with its new 120 horsepower and greater machinery. The T9 tractor, right, is a 2014 model. A slight change to the hood and a larger exhaust system are the obvious changes. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO MACHINERY | EMISSIONS

Greenhouse gases cut in blue machines New Holland | Company continues with selective catalytic reduction to meet Tier 4B emission requirements BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Tier 4B emission requirements are prompting most farm machinery manufacturers to add hardware and/or cubic inches to their engines so they can maintain power and efficiency. No heavy duty diesels can yet meet the 2014 emissions standards without the addition of urea in the exhaust flow. However, New Holland’s current crop of high horsepower machines will do it without re-burning exhaust or particulate filtration. David Kohuth of New Holland said the Fiat Powertrain Technologies engines have been engineered to meet a fine balance. They fall between generating low nitrous oxide production with low temperatures in the combustion chambers and low particulate

matter creation with high temperatures in the combustion process. “It is a challenge to get both. We deal with the emissions by managing the whole process,” Kohuth said. O f f- h i g hw ay s t a n d a rd s hav e arrived in Europe and North America later than for highway applications. Fiat’s Iveco trucks had to start meeting lower emissions beginning in 1995. The company is now the world’s third largest diesel engine builder. “To meet the Tier 4B numbers, we had to increase the amount (of diesel exhaust fluid or urea) that is used, but in the process we simplified our (systems),” Kohuth said. Case New Holland found it could take what it had been learned in onhighway systems and apply much of it to its farm machinery. The use of the selective catalytic reduction-only (SCR) solution, called

Ecoblue Hi-eSCR, was increased to eight percent of its total daily fluid consumption from six. A change in the catalyst’s materials to handle higher temperatures allowed for the bonding-off of the nitrogen oxide, which created emissions of nitrogen and water from the greenhouse gas. Kohuth said the increase in diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) use is offset in other designs by the need to filter particulate matter and feed exhaust gasses back through the engines. “Competitors have to add a second turbo charger. They need to cool the exhaust gasses they re-circulate through their engines. We don’t have any of that additional equipment or electronics to support it, just SCR,” he said at a dealers’ training program held on a farm near Bakersfield, California. “Some companies have had to add

more than just additional equipment. They needed to add cubic inches to the engines to make the equivalent power they had before. We didn’t need to do that either.” One of the advantages of not recirculating the exhaust gases comes from longer service intervals. The company recommends oil changes at about 600 hours compared to 350 to 500 for competitors that use exhaust gas recirculation. “There is less to service, less to wear out and less to build in the first place,” he said. “Our (fluid) efficiency is a wash with our competitors, but the overall picture gives us an advantage, we think. We think farmers will see that, too.” Managing the New Holland solution did require the addition of extra sensors and the computer software to make use of them. One sensor

tracks the quality of the urea in the DEF tank, another looks at the exhaust contents and another at the final emissions from the stack. A computer then analyzes the data and controls the flow of the DEF accordingly to keep the amount of nitrogen oxide within limits. Engine temperature is critical to obtain the right burn quality, so a new exhaust damper chokes the engine during the warm-up phase to cause a rapid warming of the system before reaching operating temperature when it kicks out. Outwardly, the changes to the New Holland machines appear only as larger exhaust stacks, housing the new catalyst systems.

AGRONOMY | FUNGICIDE

Variable rate fungicide effective in some cases PRECISELY AGRONOMY

GARTH DONALD

Farmers’ return on investment cannot be guaranteed

variable rates would provide the returns for which you are looking. From our experience, I do not feel that we can promise a positive ROI by using the existing model on every field on every farm. Producers need to know what they are getting from their service provider and shouldn’t be afraid to ask for data to support ROI claims on a field by field basis, because that is what this technology requires. Garth Donald, CCA, heads agronomy at Decisive Farming in Irricana, Alta. You can reach him with column ideas and questions at 800-941-4811.

Canola traditionally comes with high fungicide costs. Can variable rate fungicide applications save farmers money? | FILE PHOTO

any growers have asked me lately about variable rate fungicide applications. They want to know how much it will save them compared to single rates of application. It has been an interesting topic because growers are trying to make the most from their input dollars. One of the key things that growers need to know before buying this service is that they must follow the label from the chemical company in regards to application rates. I don’t know how many times I have heard, “we will just use half rate and we will save money.” It might be true, but it is an unregistered application rate. The label is our bible for what rates we must use. There is a code of ethics that I have to adhere to as a certified crop adviser. It is no different than my professional agrologist colleagues, who also have a code of ethics. For this reason we cannot recommend off label rates, or what is called “half rates.” This leads to the question, “what is my return on investment (ROI) if I can’t legally use half rates?” To answer this question when looking at variable rate fungicide (VRFg), let’s focus on canola because traditionally it has been the crop with the largest expense for fungicide and the hardest one for the grower to make an application decision. We know every field is different, which is particularly true with VRFg. Using a cost factor of $3.75 per acre for the service, the worst case, after cost, is a $2.94 per acre loss, while the best case, after cost, is a return of $1.35 per acre. We have seen positive returns of more than $10 per acre, after cost, using multiple new technologies, but we are finalizing the data. Field variability is key when making decisions. On our best case scenario, 24.2 percent of the acres didn’t require a fungicide application, and only 15.8 percent required a high rate. When we brought the existing VRFg application model to our customers, they felt that the returns were not adequate for the r isk that was required. However, we have had significant interest from some of our clients in the use of multiple technologies to reduce sclerotinia losses and increase the ROI from using this means of technology. So did we answer the question about what ROI to expect when using VRFg? I know there may be situations where a higher percentage of acres don’t need an application, but if your fields have areas where moisture levels are high in lower areas, then

BRANDON — Farmers are interested in tillage equipment again as they look to attack crop residue and work the soil. “There’s really not much choice for a lot of us,” says Aaron Yeager, Canadian importer of the Kelly Diamond Disc Chain Harrows from Australia. He has sold 125 units to prairie farmers in three years. Yeager said producers worked hard for years to preserve residue and organic matter, but it isn’t working for them the way they thought it would. “We’ve been zero tilling on our farm for quite a while now, so we have a significant buildup of straw on the

surface, just like most everybody else,” he said. “That residue is no longer our friend. It insulates the soil. It prevents heat from getting into the ground in the spring. The residue breaks down, but those nutrients aren’t getting into the soil. So we have a couple of problems on our hands.” He said the Kelly mixes the decomposing residue with what he calls “real dirt” in the top 1.25 inches. This mixing is supposed to promote better microbial action in the soil and puts the nutrients to work. “It also exposes enough black soil to attract sunlight,” he said. “This warms the soil quite a lot and helps dry just the top surface. We get on the land seven to 10 days quicker since we started using the Kelly. The other thing it does for us in the spring is kill weeds. We often get a good enough weed kill that we can skip the spring burn-off. Everybody knows

that saves you money, but it also helps break the glyphosate resistance cycle.” Yeager said that in a wet spring, he’s often able to seed one day after running the Kelly across a field. He has customers who have broadcast seed in significantly wet years and then used their Kelly to incorporate the seed. In a dry spring, he tightens up the time frame and brings the drill in about an hour after the Kelly leaves a field. He said the machine runs shallow: just enough to disturb the residue and the top bit of soil but not enough to disturb the moist soil below. Producers who want to use the Kelly will need enough power to run at 10 m.p.h. Yeager said the machine doesn’t perform properly if it runs slower than 8.5 m.p.h. The edges of the discs are dull and rounded. It’s the aggressive angle that

does the work, levelling out wheel ruts from the sprayer and combines. “It isn’t intended to cut the soil. What it does is wallop the soil to even it down. A conventional harrow always leaves you with hills and valleys from the tines,” he said. “But we go in and run fast with the Kelly and end up with a nice smooth flat surface. That means extra yield because now you get accurate uniform seeding depth right across the whole width of your drill.” Yeager said he plans to mount a granular tank on the frame of his Kelly this spring, which will allow him to apply up to 350 pounds per acre of fertilizer while making a single pass. The 45 foot Kelly harrow lists for $100,000, and the 62 foot model lists for $140,000. For more information, contact Yeager at 306-682-5888 or visit www. kellyharrows.com.

TILLAGE | HARROWS

Aussie discs have fit on prairie fields BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Not every farmer buying Kelly Diamond Disc Chain Harrows is necessarily a zero-till guy. Barry Chappell of Hamiota, Man., doesn’t call himself a zero-till farmer, but he bought a 40 foot Kelly machine last year. “With these big crops in recent years, we have a lot of straw to contend with,” Chappell said. “The other thing is that we broadcast our fertilizer in the fall so we always need something to work that (fertilizer) into the soil.” Chappell said the Kelly machine worked much better last year than would have his heavy and light harrows. He had three main reasons for buying it: “First, I wanted to blacken up our soils to warm them up sooner. With these cool springs and too much residue, it takes too long for the temperature to get up there where we want it. “Second, we’ve gone to floating on our fertilizer in the fall. So last year we used the Kelly Harrow to turn it in. We pre-work all the wheat ground right after the combine leaves the field. Then we go over it with the Kelly again once we’ve put the fertilizer down. “The third factor is herbicide resistance. Instead of spraying glyphosate for burn-off, we ran the Kelly just before seeding. In the spring, when the ground is mellow, we got excellent weed control. Anytime you can skip a glyphosate pass, that’s a good thing.” He acknowledged that spring was late last year, which is especially conducive to the Kelly Disc Chain. He didn’t get onto the fields until late May. “We never pulled our harrows out into a field last year. I don’t think we’ll use our heavy harrows or our light harrows at all this year.” He said people question how the dull edges on the small diameter discs can accomplish anything, but they aren’t supposed to be sharp. They’re not intended to dig down into the soil. “They are, however, designed to float across the surface. That’s how they chew up residue and expose enough black soil so the sun can warm it up.” Chappell said it’s not difficult to switch between transit mode and field mode, even with all the heavy disc chains and the arms that support them. “Once you activate the system, it folds and unfolds automatically and very quickly. All the hydraulic cylinders are on sequencers. You just stand back and watch it happen.” John Kotylak said his Kelly Diamond Disc Chain Harrows do a better job of killing cattails and bulrushes than any harrow or cultivator he’s ever tried. He farms near Balcarres in eastern Saskatchewan, where wet weather has plagued farmers for at least the last five years. He has also been zero tilling since the 1980s, so he has a heavy buildup of crop residue. “We tried the Lemken and other machines, but they were just too hard to pull in wet conditions. We’d hook up to a 600 h.p. tractor and they would get bogged right down,” he said. “We’ve had different Kelly harrows for three years now, and they pull very easily, even with the 300 h.p. mechanical (front wheel drive) tractor. I had wanted to get rid of these bull rushes and cattails and dry out the soil around the sloughs, and this is the

first thing that’s worked for us.” Kotylak and his crew covered 50 quarters with the Kelly last fall, getting stuck only once. He said they hit the tall aquatic weeds around the outside of the slough and worked their way in, knocking them down and forming a mat of vegetation. The blunt discs don’t cut the stalks or dig up the roots, but they do kill the slough vegetation. “Even in the low spots where it’s still too wet to seed the next year, we notice that those bull rushes and cattails we knock down don’t come back to life. Somehow the Kelly kills them without up-rooting them,” he said. “The discs are quite blunt. Because

of the severe angle of the discs and the high speed we’re going, it seems to mulch everything down about one inch into the soil and lays all the excess residue down flat on the surface. Aaron (Yeager) uses his to help dry the soil in the spring. He says we should give that a try, so I think that’s what we’ll do this spring.” Kotylak said he still uses his heavy harrows but not as much since buying the Kelly. He said the Kelly is especially good at dealing with pea stubble, which normally winds the vines around the bearings. “But the Kelly doesn’t have a bearing for each disc like other cultivators. The discs are all linked in a

chain, so there’s only one bearing at each end of each chain,” he said. “There’s four long chains and two short chains, so that’s 12 bearings in total. That makes maintenance so much easier.” For more information, contact Chappell at 204-365-7388 and Kotylak at 306-535-1944.

What if you grew 100 bushel wheat with 15 percent protein last year and the elevators gobbled it up, leaving you with empty bins before February? “Well, we get to do a lot of snowmobiling,” said Nick Scharf, who grew 6,000 acres of soft spring wheat with

brother Matthew on their farm west of Saskatoon in 2013. They ran the combine through four random strips, with certified agronomists observing to verify the results. The four strips ranged from 101.8 bu. per acre to 107.2 bu. per acre. Moisture ranged from 11.5 to 12.5 percent. The real kicker was the protein, which was 13 to 15 percent. “The elevators definitely wanted our wheat as soon as they heard about our higher protein numbers,” said Scharf. They wouldn’t have grown that size of crop if it weren’t for their agronomist, Phil Needham of Needham Ag Technologies in Calhoun, Kentucky, he added. This was their third growing season working with Needham. Scharf said they were sceptical of Needham’s system in 2011, so they implemented only some of his recommendations. Their wheat averaged 90 bushels. He said 2012 was a bad year and they had picked a bad variety. “We saw that we needed a variety that would stand up to lodging, so we went with Sadash last year, and of course that worked extremely well.” Of all the details in Needham’s system, Scharf said the timing of in-crop nitrogen application is the most important factor. It gives them the extra yield and the protein bump. However, they have to keep in mind that going in too early with the stream bars can promote excessive tillering. “That nitrogen timing is difficult. We spent a lot of nights in the sprayer last summer. We just finished the herbicide, then we were right back in to stream on the liquid nitrogen. It cuts into a lot of summer activities, for sure,” he said. “We’re very diligent about the head counts. We were still a little shy on a few head counts. We’re going to bump up our seeding rate just a little next year, but Phil says being a little shy is better than too many heads.” The Scharfs used 10 inch row spacing because it was the narrowest spacing they could find in a parallel link drill. “If we could get narrower, we would. Phil recommended we try double seeding a couple fields in 2014, just to see how it works,” he said. “We’ll cut the seeding rate and fertilizer in half, go in and seed on 10 inch spacing. Then we’ll go back and seed between those rows so we’ll end up with five inch row spacing. It’s just an experiment. We get a lot of signal drift up here on the GPS, so that could be a problem.” The Scharfs, who farm a total of 13,000 acres, insisted that this level of intensive management on 6,000 acres is not too much to handle. “We don’t mind the extra work at all. It pays off. I guess we do lose out in the summer, but there’s a lot of winter activities. It’s well worth it.” For more information, contact Scharf at 306-237-7726 or visit www.youtube. com/watch?v=_mI2QQLg7zM.

DAIRY | REGULATION

Conference board calls for supply management reform Think-tank report | Dairy Farmers of Canada defends quota after Conference Board of Canada recommends deregulation BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canada’s supply managed dairy policy costs families $276 per year more than they would pay if the sector operated on world market prices, says a new report. The Conference Board of Canada report, Reforming Dairy Supply Management — The Case for Growth, proposes a three-part plan that it predicts would increase farmer returns, expand the dairy industry and lower prices for consumers. Production quota reform, as well as price and trade reform, would be required to compensate farmers for quota and pave the way for exports, said the report, which was released March 6. “This is a multi-year process that must involve removal of trade barriers, the removal of pricing restrictions so that you get market pricing, and a winding down of quota to free up the capital that’s bound up in that right now and to allow efficient farmers to grow,” said conference board vice-president Michael Bloom. He said demand is rising for milk products in developing countries,

which means Canada could market “white gold” as New Zealand has done in recent years. That country supplies 30 percent of the world market in milk, exporting 97 percent of its production from 6.5 million cows. Canada’s 12,500 dairy farms have fewer than one million cows, and the top 25 percent of those farms produce almost half the country’s milk supply. Trade would increase the number of farms, cows and efficient dairy farm operations, the board said. The report found no praise among Dairy Farmers of Canada. Vice-chair David Wiens, a Manitoba dairy farmer, said only 10 percent of milk traded on the world market is produced at or above the cost of production. He said other countries subsidize their dairy farmers, while supply management allows the Canadian industry to sustain itself and reinvest in operations to steadily improve productivity and efficiency. An open market “would be a matter of Canadian dairy farms having to compete against the government treasuries of other countries, and that’s not a formula that works,” Wiens said.

ENVIRONMENT | GREENHOUSE GASES

Manitoba farmers hot about government’s coal heating ban BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

ARBORG, Man. — After listening to presenters tout the promise and potential of biomass for two hours, Joe Wipf stood up to offer a counterpoint. Wipf of the Broad Valley Hutterite colony northwest of Arborg had a rhetorical question for the audience at a biomass workshop in Arborg March 5. If China and other countries produce the bulk of greenhouse gases in the world, what is the point of banning coal and switching to biomass in Manitoba? The provincial government will prohibit the burning of coal to generate heat June 30, 2017, as part of an initiative to cut greenhouse gases and boost Manitoba’s biomass economy. Coal users have until June 30 of this year to submit a conversion plan to the government. Wipf said the ban is nonsense because Manitoba’s emissions are inconsequential. The province said last year in a news release that the ban would cut Manitoba’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes a year. In comparison, the U.S. Energy Information Administration says China generated 8.7 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2011, or 25 percent of global emissions. “(So) to get ourselves a name in the world …. ‘hey, Manitoba is a good guy. (We’re) the least polluters,’ ” Wipf said. “(It’s) not going to make an impact and who is it hurting in the end?” A government representative at the meeting agreed China’s emissions

dwarf the greenhouse gas emissions from burning coal in Manitoba. Still, Manitoba imports coal from Saskatchewan and Alberta and the province has an abundant supply of straw, oat hulls, forestry residues and other biomass. She said it makes economic sense to use a locally available resource. Representatives of several Manitoba Hutterite colonies attended the Arborg workshop, which focused on biomass and alternatives to coal heating systems. Wipf said 70 of the province’s 110 Hutterite colonies burn coal. Wipf and other Broad Valley members spent more than a $1 million several years ago to install a new coal boiler, which heats chicken barns, hog barns and manufacturing shops on the colony. Wipf said the system is functioning efficiently, so why should his colony waste time and money converting to a biomass system. Eugene Gala, an engineer with Biovalco, which designs and installs biomass-heating systems, said the coal ban will benefit the province’s economy. Gala views the ban as an investment rather than an unnecessary regulation. “When we generate (energy) from biomass, we generate (dollars) within the province,” he said. “Most of the money to pay for that biomass will go back to the local communities.” The province has promised to cover 50 percent of the capital cost to convert to biomass heating systems, but the subsidy maxes out at $50,000. Gala said that is too low. “It should be straightforward, a minimum of 30 percent,” he said.

Deregulation of the Canadian dairy industry could lead to farm and herd expansion, says the Conference Board of Canada. | FILE PHOTO “My first impressions are that they (the conference board) give kind of a one-sided view of it, and I think they make some assumptions that should be challenged.” The study said deregulation could increase production to 20 billion litres from eight billion over the next decade, leading to more dairy farms and an increase in the average herd size to 187 cows from 78.

However, deregulation would require elimination of the quota system, which has an estimated market value of $23 billion. The report said market value is different from book value because of the way quota has evolved. It estimated the book value of quota at $4.7 billion, which would be the cost of buying out farmers’ quota. Wiens said discussions about

deregulation and quota buyouts “are not the world we live in. We live in supply management. It’s worked well here in Canada, and it’s worked well not only for farmers but also for consumers, for processors and of course the governments are not having to subsidize dairy farmers. Why destroy a system that is working well?” Bloom said the federal government’s emphasis on trade deals, among them the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement with the European Union and the TransPacific Partnership, may require it to make decisions about supply management, which has proven to be a stumbling block in other trade negotiations. However, Wiens said the government continues to indicate strong support for supply management, noting the dairy industry’s $16 billion contribution to the economy and the 218,000 jobs it creates. The conference board report is one of 20 being produced by the Centre for Food in Canada. Bloom said it would be discussed at the Canadian Food Summit scheduled March 18-19 in Toronto.

REGINA SPRING STEER AND HEIFER SHOW | YOUTH

Next generation showcases skills Saskatchewan 4-H show | Future ranchers gain experience showing animals at annual event BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Colton Hamilton took his time assessing the steers assembled in the ring before him. The class winners and reserves represented the best of a strong showing by 4-H members from across Saskatchewan at the annual Regina Spring Steer and Heifer Show. “You better be thorough and be sure,” said the judge from Innisfail, Alta. He narrowed the choices to four and eventually slapped Baldie, a 944 pound steer exhibited by Emily Geisel of Estevan and a member of the Benson 4-H Club. The reserve went to Mark Lustig of Bethune. Payton Schwan of Swift Current won the heifer championship the previous day with Brooking Annie 307, a Black Angus. Cody Lafrentz from Bienfait won the reserve with a Simmental heifer. Hamilton said he was impressed with the quality of the animals. “(The heifers) were really strong and the steers probably topped that today,” he said. Geisel said she was surprised when her steer came out on top. “I knew he was good, but I didn’t think he was that good,” she said. The 14-year-old has been participating in 4-H events since she was nine. The Regina win represents her best showing to date. “I’ve had first place in Regina and Yorkton (in classes),” she said. She and Baldie have a few more dates in the show ring, including events in Yorkton, Calgary and 4-H regionals in Estevan. “I like everything about it,” she said

Baldie was thick, stout and efficient and travelled well, which Ham-

ilton said is a plus, even though he is a show steer. “That speaks to foot quality,” he said. “You still need cattle that are structurally sound. He is really a complete animal. Then I thought the reserve

really fit with (the winner) the best.” Hamilton’s judging philosophy is to look at the cattle in the show environment and calculate what will make producers money. They need to be able to put on weight easily, have good fleshing abil-

ity and function in a feedlot setting. “Then you add in some eye appeal,” he said. Hamilton said the industry appears to be in capable young hands. “This is as good a junior show as I’ve ever attended,” he said.

EXPORTS | MARKET ACCESS

Canadian beef to benefit from trade deals, says CCA BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Canada has an ambitious trade agenda as it works on 11 free trade agreements encompassing 60 countries. It should be good news for the beef industry in the longer term, but the devil is in the details. Processing plants need approval or nothing moves, said representatives from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association during its annual meeting held in Ottawa March 4-7. The quandary was highlighted when China agreed to accept Canadian beef in 2010, ending the BSE embargo. “China opened and everybody was

excited, but we were probably three or four years before we got enough product moving,” said Canada Beef Inc. chair Chuck McLean. China imported 1,362 tonnes from Canada in 2012 worth $4.7 million, and Canada Beef estimated that it imported 5,745 tonnes last year worth $22 million. McLean suspects the same thing will happen once the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) deal is finalized with the European Union. “All the plants will tell you right now, what we don’t have is equivalency,” he said. The European Union does not accept beef that was treated with growth hormone supplements nor

will it recognize acid wash or pasteurization to clean carcass surfaces. “One of the plants said we are not going to jeopardize 80 percent of our production for 20 percent until we get full approval for all our processes. That might be three years,” he said. Nevertheless, those attending the CCA foreign trade committee meeting agreed with government officials that Canada needs the business. Canada is a medium-sized economy and needs treaties for certainty of trade. About 60 percent of gross domestic product is derived from trade, said Luc Santerre of the federal foreign affairs and international trade department. Most agreements are successful, such as the North American Free

Agreement that has resulted in $1.8 billion worth of business per day. “Most things go very well, but when things don’t go well it is very, very visible,” Santerre said. Country-of-origin labelling is an example of that. Canada and Mexico have challenged the U.S. law and now wait for a decision in their World Trade Organization appeal. The decision is expected in June with a public release later in the summer. The United States and Japan are good customers but they are mature, slow-growing markets compared to emerging nations, said Doug Forsyth, head of strategic trade policy division with Agriculture Canada. Free trade deals with Japan, Peru,

Honduras, India, South Korea, China, Turkey, Thailand and Caribbean nations are all underway. Negotiations are nearly complete with South Korea. The talks started in 2005, but significant progress has recently occurred. The Trans Pacific Partnership has caught ever yone’s attention. It involves 12 countries with 40 percent of the world’s economy and 800 million people. “It has been moving quite fast but we are not yet at a concluding stage,” Forsyth said. When asked if Canada’s effort to protect supply management jeopardized any of these talks, Forsyth said every country has sensitive lists of agricultural products.

BEEF | AUCTION

Auction results indicate producers are optimistic Calgary Bull Sale | Top bull at Alberta event sells for $19,000; average sale equals $5,322 BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

This year’s Calgary Bull Sale may have been smaller than past years, but the 114-year-old institution still carries weight among cattle breeders. This year, 122 Angus, Gelbvieh and Hereford bulls sold for a total of $649,325 to average $5,322. For Ken Rutledge of Hardisty, Alta., the March 6 sale was a compliment for the farm, which has been raising purebred Herefords since 1945. He topped the sale with RUT 10N Ribstone Lad 26Z, which sold for $19,000 to Dallas Farms of Bowden, Alta., and Conway Herefords of Foremost, Alta. “There were lots of people looking at him but you never expect that amount,” he said. “This bull went to two very good breeders. It is a compliment to have those two people buy this bull.” The bull was judged as a long, thick beast without being extreme. Rutledge has come to the Calgary sale since 1989 because he said it promotes what he has to offer on the farm, where he keeps 125 purebred Hereford cows and 60 registered Angus cows. “If you don’t come, you start to disappear. With purebred bulls, you have to have them out there so people can see them,” he said. In recent months commercial beef calves have fetched record prices so Rutledge is optimistic people will be looking to buy new bulls and replacement heifers. “I don’t think we will see the bull market catching up quite as fast yet, but there will be big prices, especially if calves stay where they are now,” he said. An added component in recent years is a commercial replacement heifer show and sale. Sheldon and Shannon Archibald of

Irma, Alta., had the grand champion female pen, which they feel is indicative of their heifer replacement program based on Hereford-Angus crosses. Archibald sells purebred and commercial cattle at SS Cattle Co., along with his family, which includes five children. “This is prestigious and kind of elite so we are pretty proud of that,” he said. He runs an extensive artificial insemination program, which includes Hereford and Angus sires on his British cows to get the kind of females he thinks will work for commercial producers. He is looking for easy fleshing, feed efficient cattle. To help improve his program, he places home-raised bulls on test at Lakeland College at Vermilion, Alta. He wants the performance statistics, but the cattle have to be structurally sound. “Eye appeal is still important to breeders but a lot of guys are looking at the EPDs (expected progeny differences) and birthweight and weaning weight,” he said. “We want a balance between what is structurally sound and what you see in the numbers,” he said. A show like Calgary promotes the female side of an operation so producers can see how the bull batteries perform on Alberta ranches. “People don’t have time to come to my place and look at my cows.”

Archibald raises about 100 purebreds and has 150 black baldie commercial cows. He also works off the farm as a

health and safety consultant to the oil and gas industry but said the cattle business keeps him on the ranch through good and bad times.

“We’ll hang onto the cow’s tail and get drug through and maybe we will hold onto it for the next generation,” he said.

ANIMAL HEALTH

ovine coronavirus is one of the most common causes of diarrhea in young calves. A Kansas State database suggests that one in three cases of diarrhea in calves between one and nine weeks of age may be caused by bovine coronavirus. The virus causes a profuse watery diarrhea in young calves, usually between five and 15 days of age. Coronavirus invades the lining of the intestinal wall of the calf and causes severe damage to the microscopic finger-like projections on the lining of the bowel. This decreases the intestine’s ability to absorb nutrients and fluid and leads to a severe diarrhea. Coronaviruses are particularly damaging because they can attack both the small and large intestine simultaneously. The diarrhea may contain mucus or blood at the beginning but progresses to a severe watery diarrhea. The result is a rapid loss of water and electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and bicarbonate. Affected calves can rapidly become dehydrated and have severe electrolyte imbalances. Calves become depressed and weak as they become clinically dehydrated, and their temperature often drops. If left untreated, they may progress to a coma-like state and die.

The viral damage to the intestinal wall can be so severe that oral electrolytes will not be absorbed properly and the calf often requires intravenous fluid therapy to restore the fluid and electrolyte balance. These calves can survive if treated with intravenous fluids by a veterinarian but may continue to die if producers rely only on oral electrolytes. We have also seen outbreaks of coronavirus intestinal infections in calves that don’t cause severe diarrhea but damage the bowel enough to create severe electrolyte disturbances, which severely drop the pH of the blood. These infections produce calves that may continue to attempt to suckle but suddenly appear weak, disoriented and have difficulty standing, walking and suckling. The electrolyte disturbances in these calves can be quickly corrected with the use of the appropriate intravenous fluids by a veterinarian. Oral electrolytes might also be beneficial in these cases. The source of the infection is from cows that do not show clinical evidence of disease but shed the virus in their feces. Bovine coronavirus is widespread in the cattle population and persists in many adult cows. Many of our management strategies for preventing coronavirus diarrhea involve reducing the exposure of young calves to the manure of adult cows: • Winter cows on a separate wintering area and then moving them to a clean calving area. • Spread out cow-calf pairs. • Providing creep areas or shelters to calves or by using methods such as the Sandhills Calving method or the Lacombe Calving method, which try to ensure calves are born

on uncontaminated ground. Calves that have clinical disease shed extremely high levels of virus and so it is important to isolate any clinical cases from the rest of the herd. Commercial vaccines are also available to help prevent coronavirus diarrhea in young calves. These scours vaccines often contain E. coli, rotavirus and coronavirus and are given to the cow before calving to increase the levels of antibodies in the colostrum and the milk. Adequate colostrum intake is also important. Bovine coronavirus can also invade the lining of the respiratory tract, and there is increasing evidence that coronavirus may be an important cause of respiratory disease outbreaks in calves and feedlot cattle. Researchers are still debating if the virus strains isolated from the respiratory tract are identical to those isolated from the intestine, but several studies have demonstrated that coronavirus may be a possible cause of respiratory disease in young calves. Some studies have shown calves can simultaneously shed bovine coronavirus from nasal secretions and the gastrointestinal tract. Winter dysentry is another syndrome linked to bovine coronavirus. It is more commonly seen in housed adult cattle such as dairy animals and occurs as an explosive outbreak of diarrhea affecting at least 15 percent or more of the herd. The diarrhea will often last a few days, and most animals will recover without treatment. As the name suggests, we most commonly see outbreaks of this disease during winter.

COMPOSTING | LIVESTOCK RENDERING

Dead stock compost facility hopes to expand CFIA approval needed | Facility produced 150 yards of compost in its first year of operation BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

CREMONA, Alta. — After a year of composting dead livestock, one southern Alberta municipality would like to expand. Cardston County has composted 500 calves, cows, lambs, goats and bulls that were either dropped off in special bins or picked up at farms. “We wanted to get rid of dead stock to prevent scavenging from bears,” said Steve Bevans, an agricultural fieldman with the county. The facility is enclosed and has a concrete floor. Old straw and hay are used as part of the pile. It is the only municipal dead stock composting facility in Canada and is funded by Alberta’s environment department. Meetings are ongoing to determine the next steps. About 150 yards of compost have been produced, which could be spread on land once the Canadian Food Inspection Agency grants approval. Kim Stanford of Alberta Agriculture, who has been researching how to efficiently make compost, said it is like a buffet to marauding wildlife if not done right. She provided advice on the art of composting during a farmer meeting held in Cremona to discuss problem wildlife. Cardston County had problems with grizzly bears scavenging dead stock, while other jurisdictions struggle to keep coyotes away. Gordy Cunningham, who ranches near Sundre, Alta., has had a compost pile going for some time. “If we buried them deep enough, it wasn’t an issue,” he said. A permanent site with year round access is needed. As well, anyone starting a pile should check with local authorities on environmental requirements for runoff and distance away from water. Stanford said old straw, sawdust, spoiled grain and manure can be used to build the layers needed for proper decomposition. “You can use whatever you’ve got and what you are trying to use up,” she said. Straw provides carbon, which is an energy source for the microbes that decompose the pile. Their energy heats up the pile as they digest material. Stanford recommends measuring the heat with a stainless steel thermometer like those used to check grain. The pile needs to heat up to about 55 C to kill harmful bacteria. The maximum temperature is 72 C. “The hotter and longer you can keep it, the better breakdown of flesh you can get,” she said. Ear tags and twine will not compost, but teeth and bones will eventually break dow n. Bones w ill solidify if they are not covered up properly. The pile also needs moisture. It is moist enough if a ball of compost can be formed that breaks up when it hits

Steve Bevans with the County of Cardston said the livestock composting facility was set up to help stop bear scavenging. | the ground. This is 35 to 60 percent moisture. The piles may be built in windrows that peak so the snow and rain runs off. The piles will dry out if they are too small. Layers of straw, manure and dead stock are needed so that oxygen can move through and microbes can do their work. Manure straight from the pen may be too wet, so run it through a manure spreader first to break it up and remove moisture. “Don’t try and make compost by piling dirt over your deads,” Stanford said. Do not let the dead animals touch each other when building the pile or they will not degrade. “Cover up with material so you can’t see the shape of the deads.” As well, the pile will not attract birds and predators if it is covered properly with manure. Covering it with a tarp is not a good idea because it prevents airflow. Cattle that weigh 500 to 1,400 pounds take about nine months to fully degrade. Chickens are faster. Producers can turn the pile with a front-end loader to aerate it. Fresh manure must then be added to ensure that no parts are exposed. Turning too often may shut down the process, so three turns in nine months is enough. The pile may be too dry if there is no smell and it is not heating. Add wetter amendments such as manure and

then turn the pile. Hosing it down does not help because the water does not penetrate properly. The smell may attract wildlife until it starts to actively heat. “Bad compost will bring every scavenger in the countryside,” she said.

An electric fence could be installed around the pile to discourage wildlife. Winter composting can work, but a big pile is needed to retain heat. Add warm manure to start heating in winter.

Proper composting can destroy problems such as anthrax spores. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has assumed that composting does not destroy prions responsible for BSE or scrapie, but recent research shows they do break down.

SuperStraw able to suck it up Absorbency a selling point | Unwanted biomass fuel cubes find new market in livestock barns BRANDON BUREAU

Eugene Gala and Stephane Gauthier were caught in a classic business conundrum in the late 2000s: they had a better mousetrap but buyers were few or nonexistent. Gala and Gauthier had developed a dense cube of straw and wood residue at their processing plant in La Broquerie, Man. The product was designed as an environmentally friendly source of heating fuel that would steal market share from coal. The business partners needed to charge $80 per tonne for the biomass fuel to make a profit. Coal was selling for $45 per tonne at the time in Manitoba. “Once we figured out how to make the product, what we realized is that nobody wants to pay the price for that product,” said Gala, a University of Manitoba mechanical engineering graduate. “Impossible. Nobody would pay almost double, no matter how green they are.” The entrepreneurs soon had an unwanted pile of biomass fuel cubes. Desperate to find an alternate market

for the technology, Gala and Gauthier noticed the pile was getting larger for some reason. The manufacturing process had altered the straw and made it highly absorbent. After a period of experimentation, Gauthier and Gala developed a unique animal-bedding product that they now market as SuperStraw. Gauthier and Gala’s company, Biovalco, has been selling SuperStraw to horse owners, dairy and chicken farms in Manitoba since November through a partnership with La Co-op fédérée in Quebec. They also produce smaller bags of SuperStraw for the pet market, primarily gerbils, rabbits and hamsters. “We take the raw straw and refine it…. What comes out is a different

product. It’s almost like taking wood and making paper,” said Gauthier. “It feels like silk, not straw.” The business partners received a North American patent for the SuperStraw manufacturing process in 2012. U of M researchers have confirmed that SuperStraw, which is made from oat, barley or wheat straw, truly has super absorbency. Testing has found that it absorbs five times its weight in water. Ordinary straw absorbs 1.3 times its weight. Gala said the manufacturing process kills most of the hazardous bacteria in the raw straw, and the final product contains almost no dust. “There’s no binder, nothing. It’s 100 percent natural,” Gala said in the company’s office at the U of M’s SmartPark, a research and technology hub.

“Our goal by the end of this year is manufacturing about 5,000 tonnes…. I believe the demand in Manitoba, alone, should be 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes.” They are currently focused on selling SuperStraw to horse owners and dairy farms in Manitoba, but their partnership with La Co-op fédérée is expected to open up a much larger equine and dairy market in Ontario and Quebec. “That would be our goal at some point,” Gala said, noting it’s too expensive to transport processed straw from eastern Manitoba to southern Ontario. “Probably in the next couple years we will have a facility (processing plant) in Eastern Canada.” Biovalco, previously called Prairie Bio-Energy, designs and sells biomass-heating systems, including the Blue Flame Stoker, a combustion system that burns wood chips, wood pellets, oat pellets, flax shives and other agricultural residue to generate heat or steam. Gala has installed the biomass heating system for more than 120 clients in North America, including Hutterite colonies, schools and greenhouses.

SUCCESSION PLANNING | MANAGING INFORMATION

Vital farm information needs proper storage PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

recently gave a university lecture on succession and estate planning that included the importance of storing important information in a secure and known location. I also talked about the importance of summarizing and storing contact information for key resource people along with this information. Preparing for the lecture made me remember five discussions I’ve had this winter with farm families in situations where having readily available important information in times of crisis would be beneficial. Four of the situations involved families that have experienced deaths because of accidents or illnesses. In each case, it was the farmer who died, leaving his widowed spouse to manage the affairs and business. I don’t think you can ever be prepared for this type of tragedy, but having documentation helps. The latter point brings to mind the fifth discussion I’ve had recently, this one about intergenerational transition. The family had gathered all of their important information, including wills, insurance policies, mortgages, loan documentation, landlord agreements, leasing contracts and bank and investment information with related account numbers and other details. The information was kept in a safe and everyone in the family knew it existed and where it was. The latter point is extremely important. Everybody knows where it is. I can remember other discussions I’ve have in the past where a spouse would say: “I know it’s all

there but I have no idea where it might be.” Most families would agree that it’s important to have a well developed system in place to address these concerns. However, when the phone rings and the truck is coming to pick up a load of grain or cattle, “urgent” takes over and “important” sits another day and then another, and soon a month goes by. I would argue that documenting important papers and related information definitely falls into the “important and urgent” category. So what to do? First, create a chart as outlined below, gather all related information and store it in a safe place. Make sure you tell everyone in the family what you’ve done. You may want to tell a brother or sister or children who may be living away from home. Second, find a way to be accountable to getting this done. One idea would be to make an appointment with your lawyer to review your will and the other information you’ve gathered. This appointment will be a couple of weeks away, and that looming date will be incentive to get the rest of the work done. All that’s required today is a phone call. Create a chart listing the contact information for all the farm’s service providers: accountant, tax preparation, legal, agronomy, marketing, investment, insurance, farm management, human resources, landlords and lender-banker. The information should include the following. • The firm’s name and the contact person within the firm that works with your family • Phone number, email and other contact information • Other comments that may be pertinent to the individual’s involvement in the succession plan • Relevant account information Terry Betker is a farm management consultant based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

GMOS | MARKET RESTRICTION

Syngenta halts sale of new GM corn CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Syngenta has halted commercial sales in Canada of corn seed containing a new genetically modified trait because major importers have not approved the product, say two industry sources. The variety contains the Agrisure Duracade trait that provides protection against rootworms. The company will sell it in the United States, but growers there will be required to sign an agreement that requires them to feed the harvest to livestock or poultry on farm or deliver it to a company that doesn’t export it to China or the European Union. The trait has been approved for cultivation in Canada, the U.S. and other countries and for import by

some overseas buyers. However, it has not been approved for import by China and the EU, which are major buyers. The decision to pull the variety in Canada was announced in a Syngenta notice sent to Canadian s e e d d e a l e r s a n d o b t a i n e d by Reuters. In the U.S., Syngenta will advise farmers to harvest the variety separately, store it in separate bins and surround fields of Duracade corn with “buffer” rows of another variety, the newsletter said. Top traders Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill say they will limit their handling of Duracade corn because of the export problems.
