Wheat sees billion dollar investment

Canada warns U.S. to repeal COOL or face consequences

Seed companies have a renewed interest in wheat BY SEAN PRATT

WTO delivers ruling | U.S. amendments to country-of-origin labelling discriminate against live hog and cattle imports SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada is gearing up to retaliate against the United States after its third victory in the ongoing country-of-origin labelling dispute. “We will target everything from California wine to Minnesota mattresses, not to mention the over $2 billion in U.S. beef and pork sales to Canada,� said federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. The World Trade Organiz a t i o n r u l e d t h a t U. S. amendments to the COOL regulation continue to discr iminate against live imports of cattle and hogs into the U.S. marketplace. COOL was implemented in 2008. On May 23, 2013, the U.S. revised the regulation in an attempt to come into compliance with the WTO. Canadian livestock and meat producers said the amendments only made matters worse and the WTO agreed. The third WTO victory for Canada paves the way for retaliation against the U.S., although that will not happen immediately. The U.S. has 30 days to appeal the decision, during which Canada will

be very vocal about how it intends to punish the U.S. for its transgressions. “We will use the same time frame to completely lay out, state-by-state, legislator-by-legislator, what it’s going to cost them as they move into their next election cycle,� Ritz told reporters. Canada has identified 32 products that could face retaliatory measures, but it can’t take action until the appeal process has run its course. “While we fully expect the Americans to appeal again, they must be fully aware that Canada will not blink on COOL,� said Ritz. Dave Solverson, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said COOL is costing the Canadian cattle and hog sectors an estimated $1.1 billion annually. “Until COOL comes into compliance with the WTO, the CCA will continue to insist that the Government of Canada prepare to impose prohibitively high tariffs on key U.S. exports to Canada, including beef,� he said. Solverson applauded Ritz and his colleagues in Ottawa for standing up to the Americans. “We’re very appreciative of the fact that you’re not about to blink,� he said. Jurgen Preugschas, past-chair of the Canadian Pork Council, said his industry has been fighting the punitive regulation at the WTO since 2009. SEE U.S. WARNED TO REPEAL COOL, P. 3

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Investment now pouring into the wheat industry should deliver tangible results within a decade, says an agricultural economist. Bill Wilson, a professor at North Dakota State University, estimates seed technology companies will spend $2 billion over the next 10 years on wheat research. “We have more money being spent today on wheat technology than ever before,� he told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “That’s a golden opportunity for wheat in this country primarily, but in other countries as well.� Many seed technology companies have entered into partnerships with universities, government organizations and private companies to develop genetically modified wheat.

Wheat yields to benefit “The most important trait that’s being developed amongst these companies at this time is stress traits,” he said. Wilson said seed companies see boundless opportunities in applying their technologies to wheat. “In the economic analysis we’ve done, it’s a very profitable outlook for developers of GM traits,” he said. However, private investment in wheat has been slow to materialize in Canada, said Tom Steve, general manager of the Alberta Wheat Commission. “There is growing momentum, but we certainly haven’t seen a huge influx of dollars,” he said. Steve has seen estimates that $30 to $32 million a year is invested in wheat research in Canada. “The majority of the varietal development is in the public domain, either at Agriculture Canada or the universities,” he said. Private companies are showing signs of growing interest in wheat research. Bayer CropScience Canada recently broke ground on its new wheat breeding centre near Saskatoon, while Syngenta Canada is teaming up with the Canadian Wheat Alliance and KWS to work on a double haploid wheat initiative. “That’s an indication that they’re going to be investing heavily in research,” said Steve. Wheat has a lot of catching up to do because most research money has been spent on canola and pulses in recent decades. Steve said he has heard estimates that $80 million a year is spent on canola research in Canada. “The model that we operate under doesn’t lend itself to seed companies making a significant enough return to invest heavily in cereals research,” said Steve. He believes that could change with the passage of Bill C-18, which is proposed federal legislation that bolsters plant breeders’ rights. The U.S. National Association of Wheat Growers is encouraged by the resurgence of private sector investment in wheat breeding programs. Wheat is the world’s largest crop in

terms of acreage, but annual production has dropped below corn and rice in the past 20 years. “Since 1994, corn yields have increased approximately 67 percent in the United States alone, while spring and winter wheat yields have increased half that amount,” NAWG first vice-president Brett Blankenship said in a recent op-ed in the Des Moines Register. “For the world’s largest crop that is a staple nutrient resource for 30 percent of the world’s population, the production lag is astounding.” Wheat had been a neglected crop since 2004 when Monsanto abandoned its Roundup Ready wheat program. That all changed in 2008 when the price of spring wheat shot up to $25 a bushel due to a worldwide shortage of the crop. “End users, in the United States primarily and around the world, said we’ve got to find a technological solution to this,” said Wilson. Grower groups and millers in the United States, Australia and Canada signed a trilateral statement of support for the development of GM wheat in 2009. Wheat yields have been growing by one to two percent per year through marker-assisted breeding. Wilson expects yields to increase by 20 to 25 percent when the first GM wheat crops hit the market around 2022. Experimental GM wheat lines in Australia have delivered a 20 percent yield bump over conventional lines under drought conditions. He is forecasting average GM wheat yields of 52 bushels per acre in North Dakota once the technology is introduced. Drought tolerant wheat is expected to deliver $350 million of value to North American farmers annually. Genetic modification isn’t the only technology being advanced for wheat. Non-GM technologies are also emerging for the crop, including hybridization and apomixis. “We’re going to see new technologies competing for wheat. That’s a great thing,” said Wilson.

U.S. warned to repeal COOL “The costs and damage to Canadian hog producers since then have been over $2.5 billion,” he said. “That doesn’t include the personal hardships that outweigh the financial damage.” The hog industry has downsized by an estimated 25 percent as the basis between U.S. and Canadian hog prices has widened. Preugschas said it is time Washington stopped stalling and came up with a legislated solution to the problem. “Enough is enough. Further delays would be in bad faith, a very poor way to treat a friend and a neighbour,” he said. However, like Ritz, he fully expects the Americans to appeal the WTO compliance panel ruling. “When they lose that, which they will, then we can move the process further if they don’t fix it,” he said. The WTO needs to determine the value of retaliation before Canada and Mexico can take action. “We’re probably just about a year away,” said Preugschas. Ritz said the U.S. could avoid retaliatory measures by scrapping the COOL legislation. That is the preferred course of action. “We want to see a full repeal. We’re not going to wait, looking over our shoulder in the years to come for the next shoes to drop,” he said. “We don’t want to go the retaliatory route, but we certainly will should it be forced upon us.” Ritz said there are signs that the political winds are changing south of the border, noting that 120 U.S. sena-

Neonics are no help to soybeans Seed treatments | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency analysis shows neonicotinoids do not protect soybean crops BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Planting soybean seeds with a neonicotinoid seed treatment offers zero yield benefits, says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In a memorandum released Oct. 15, the EPA’s biological and economic analysis division reviewed published data and EPA proprietary data on soybeans and neonicotinoids, a class of insecticides applied as a coating to the seed. The agency determined that the benefits of neonic seed treatments are the same as doing nothing. “This analysis provides evidence that U.S. soybean growers derive limited to no benefit from neonicotinoid seed treatments in most instances,” EPA scientists and economists noted in the memo. “Published data indicate that most usage of neonicotinoid seed treatments does not protect soybean yield any better than doing no pest control.” The Ontario Beekeepers Association said the EPA report validates its position, that the Ontario government should limit the use of neonicotinoids. “The EPA study is more evidence

that pesticide manufacturers are operating irresponsibly,” said Tibor Szabo, OBA vice-president. “By pre-treating seed with pesticides, farmers pay for their product whether they need it or not. The loss of our insect pollinators is the price we pay for their profit.” The EPA findings contradict a Conference Board of Canada study released in July. In a report titled Seeds for Success: The Value of Seed Treatments for Ontario Growers, the think-tank said restricting the use of neonics would cut corn and soybean yields, increase farmer’s cost and reduce Ontario producer revenue by $630 million a year. Pierre Petelle, Crop Life Canada vice-president of chemistry, said there is no way to predict where and when an insect pest will attack a crop, so seed treatments are beneficial. Petelle said Ontario corn yields have increased 30 percent during the last decade, and seed treatments have contributed to those gains. Neonics, which are applied as a seed treatment to almost all corn and canola in North America and a portion of soybeans, have been linked to bee colony losses. Two Ontario beekeepers filed a

class action lawsuit against neonic manufacturers Syngenta and Bayer Crop Science in September, claiming $450 million in bee colony, pollination and honey production losses since 2006. The OBA has said neonic seed treatments are applied to 65 percent of Ontario’s 2.5 million soybean acres. The EPA said neonic seed treatments are ineffective against the major soybean pests in the United States: soybean aphids and bean leaf beetles. “This is because the limited period of (neonic) bioactivity in soybeans (three to four weeks) does not usually align with periods of soybean aphid presence/activity,” the EPA said. “Similarly, neonicotinoid seed treatments are not effective in controlling bean leaf beetles as this pest occurs too late in the season.” EPA scientists said thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, two widely used neonic seed treatments, cost farmers about $7.50 an acre. The agency said soybean growers would be wiser to skip the neonic seed treatment and apply an equivalently priced foliar insecticide, when needed. James Knowles, one of the authors

of the Seeds for Success study, said the EPA memo does not contradict the conference board report. “The key purpose of our research wasn’t to determine whether there was a positive yield benefit from neonicotinoids. Our paper was looking at estimating the cost to Ontario farmers if we were to get rid of the neonicotinoids.” Knowles said the conference board looked at some of the same American studies as the EPA, but also considered University of Guelph research. “In some of the field tests there was no yield benefit. In other field tests there was a yield benefit,” said Knowles. “It seems to differ pretty strongly between different years and different testing sites…. Some farmers may not benefit, but others might.” Knowles said the argument to apply a foliar spray isn’t as simple the EPA assumes. The cost of the foliar spray might be the same as an insecticidal seed treatment, but there are also time and equipment costs. “The foliar pesticides … you have to send a machine out and spray these things down,” he said. “Whereas the seeds are already treated, so the farmer doesn’t have to do that or spend (money) on extra labour to do that.”

EPA FINDINGS ON SOYBEANS AND NEONICS • Thirty-one percent of U.S. soybean acres were planted with seed coated with neonicotinoids from 2008-12. • The cost of neonic seed treatments was an average of $7.50 per acre. • U.S. soybean growers spend $176 million on neonic seed treatments in a typical year. The most popular products are Syngenta’s thiamethoxam and Bayer Crop Science’s imidacloprid. • The EPA reviewed 34 published comparisons for thiamethoxam and 26 comparisons for imidacloprid from a total of 26 published efficacy studies by university extension services and the Entomological Society of America. • Only five of 60 published comparisons for soybean aphid and bean leaf beetle showed any significant yield protection from either thiamethoxam or imidacloprid seed treatments when compared to doing nothing.

ACREAGE | ON THE REBOUND

Flax making up for lost ground BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Flax is back in the ring. Keeping it there and fighting for farmers’ acres are the goals of a new round of government crop funding. “This will develop better tools and best management practices that will allow producers to harvest a greater percentage of the potential yield in flax,” Flax Council of Canada president Don Kerr said at the announcement of $3 million in Growing Forward 2 money for flax funding. Flax had a near-death experience with Triffid in 2009 after the European market was mostly lost due to genetically modified material being found at low levels in non-GM crops. Production plunged as acreage switched to other crops with less uncertainty. However, large new Chinese demand developed as Canadians and Europeans worked to re-open the European market, and hundreds of thousands of tonnes began flowing west. That has led to flax returns being among the highest of Prairie crops, although the flax industry says keeping them high won’t be easy. The crop has steadily been losing its competitive edge against other choices, so increasing yields is necessary to give the traditional prairie crop a future. Most other crops have seen big yield gains in recent years, but not flax. That’s the focus of the new funding. “There haven’t really been any yield improvements over the last 20 years or so,” Kerr said. The crop is now exceptionally hard to find in some traditional flax areas, such as eastern Manitoba, as corn, soybeans and canola gobble up acres because of higher yields. High prices have allowed flax to keep some acres, and Chinese demand has allowed acreage to move west across the Prairies, but yields have to increase to keep the challenging crop attractive. Kerr said there’s good potential to catch up some of the ground because so little has been done to boost flax. “With a little bit of research and with some programs designed specifically towards that goal and best management practices, I think we can accomplish some pretty big gains in yields,” said Kerr. University of Manitoba weed specialist Rob Gulden said integrated weed management is the best bet for flax because GM technology is not an option. “We’re looking at a combination,” said Gulden. “Tools tend to work best in combination. Individually they’re not the best, but in combination they tend to have a multiplicative effect.” The new research will look at a broad range of yield-boosting characteristics with new varieties developed using the Rapid Development Trait System, herbicide and agronomic practices assessed by government, industr y and university researchers, and performance judged in the field. Kerr said the present outlook for flax is good, with 350,000 tonnes heading to China this year.

Canola continues to lead market High oleic oils | Lengthy approval process keeps high oleic soybeans out of production BY SEAN PRATT

SOYBEAN OIL SALES POISED TO JUMP

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Approval delays continue to push back the rollout of high oleic soybeans. The U.S. soybean industry is anxious to get into the commercial production phase of the crop because it is losing huge market share to impor ted canola and palm oil brought in to replace partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Soybean growers thought approvals would be in place for a major launch of the trait this year. However, it didn’t happen and it looks like it won’t happen next year either. The European Union has approved the high oleic trait, but the new trait is being stacked with the glyphosate tolerance trait. “The EU being the EU, they require approving the two to be used together, so that’s the next step,” Richard Galloway, president of Galloway & Associates, told the recent 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. The lack of global approval is limiting planting of the new high oleic soybean varieties because growers must adhere to strict segregation protocols. High oleic oils have gained popularity because they are free of trans fat. Galloway estimated that 40 million kilograms of high oleic soybean oil

The launch of high oleic soybeans has been slow, but production and sales are expected to rapidly increase in a few years.

will be produced this year, 100 million kg next year and 300 million in 2016. To put that in perspective, high oleic canola oil sales are expected to top 1.13 billion kg in 2014-15. Galloway anticipated that demand for high oleic soybean oil will rapidly expand once approvals are in place. The soybean industry expects 2.8 billion kg of edible demand and 800,000 kg of industrial demand by 2024. The United Soybean Board is spending $60 million over five years to promote the product, with $40 million going to Pioneer and Monsanto for seed expansion and $20 million for market promotion.

Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader of grains and oils with Dow AgroSciences, said the European regulatory delay is a godsend for high oleic canola. “It just lets canola get more market share and get better established (because) the launch of high oleic soybean oil is long delayed,” he said in an interview at the conference. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration threatened last November to remove partially hydrogenated soybean oil’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status. Food manufacturers have already dramatically reduced their use of partially hydrogenated soybean oil because of

trans-fat labeling regulations. Removing the GRAS status would be the final nail in the coffin. Galloway believes the FDA has already taken out the hammer with its threat. “Really, it doesn’t matter what they do now because what they’ve already done is stigmatized partially hydrogenated oil,” he said. “(Food companies) are going to be moving away from partially hydrogenated systems as quickly as they can.” Dzisiak said manufacturers are reformulating products, but he estimated that U.S. food companies still use 900,000 kg of partially hydrogenated soybean oil a year. An additional 2.5 million acres of high oleic canola oil would be required if all of that demand went to that commodity. However, there are other competitors. Galloway expects imported palm oil will mop up about half of that demand in next year. Dzisiak estimated that 12 to 15 percent of next year’s Canadian canola crop will be planted to high oleic varieties, which comprises 25 percent of Canadian crush volumes. He believes the share of the crop and crush will continue to grow despite the looming competition from high oleic soybeans. “We have a very cost effective, great product that is kind of the incumbent, so we’re in a pretty good position. We can compete,” said Dzisiak.

New traits on tap for canola oil

U.S. costs for transportation on the rise BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

| Companies working on healthier product BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Consumers will soon be able to have their fish without eating it. Dow AgroSciences is developing a new line of high oleic canola enriched with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), two omega 3 long chain fatty acids found in fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon, tuna and trout. “Half the fat in our brain is DHA, and your body can’t make it, and over 80 percent of the fat in your eyes is DHA, and your body can’t make it,” said Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader of grains and oils with Dow. “You have to take it in through your diet, and I guarantee you’re not eating enough.” Seed technology companies have figured out how to incorporate those desirable fatty acids into oilseed crops. Dow has teemed up with Martek Biosciences Corp., which produces DHA from algae through a fermentation process. Dow took a gene set from the DHAand EPA-producing algae and inserted it into canola to create a plant that produces both omega 9 and omega 3 oils. The gene set makes both DHA and EPA, but the ratio is more heavily tilted toward DHA production. “It’s a very exciting project,” Dzisiak said in an interview at the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “(The varieties) are in field trials today, and we’ve got really good confirmation that we can do it. We’re well along the development path.” He believes there will be a big market for the product because it is a clean oil with a light taste free of any fishy flavour that provides powerful benefits for the heart, brain and eyes. Governments have mandated that DHA be supplemented into infant formulas to encourage proper neurological development. The oil can also help an aging population maintain its cognitive ability. “ I f w e ate t h e re c o m m e n d e d amount of DHA, there wouldn’t be a fish left in the ocean, so we need to find a new, more sustainable source for it,” said Dzisiak. “Putting the trait into crops is the way to do it.” He estimated that demand for crop-based DHA would require less than one million acres of cropland. Dzisiak wouldn’t divulge how close the new line of canola is to being commercialized for competitive reasons. However, he said some elements of the new genetically modified trait have already been submitted to government regulators for review. “We’re talking about it publicly, so it’s more near than it is far,” he said.

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Grain farmers in the United States are losing the one competitive advantage they have over growers in South America, says an economist. Tom Scott, chief executive officer with Informa Economics, said American growers have relied on their cheap and efficient transportation system to keep corn and soybeans competitive with exports from Brazil and Argentina. The U.S. is blessed with a vast river highway connecting farms in the Midwest with the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River and its tributaries comprise more than 19,000 kilometres of inland waterways. Farmers rely on the Mississippi and Illinois river system to deliver 60 percent of U.S. grain and oilseed exports to port position every year. Barge freight is typically two to three times cheaper than truck and rail. Those transportation savings have helped offset the lower cost of production of growing corn and soybeans in South America. However, the dynamic is rapidly changing. “We’re in danger of losing that competitive edge,” Scott told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “We’re starting to see it manifesting itself in a big way here recently, and we need to take notice and think about how we can deal with this as an industry in North America.” Increased use of the U.S. rail and barge systems is dramatically driving up the costs of moving crops from the Midwest to the ports. Scott said the Mississippi and Illinois river system is inundated with new demand from the upward bound movement of fertilizer, salt and steel and the downward bound movement of fracking sand from Wisconsin to Texas. Mississippi River barge rates have risen to 1,000 percent of tariff, a record that surpasses where rates were following Hurricane Katrina. “All you need to know is it’s more than double what it should be at this time of year,” he said. There has been no major failure of the locks and dams, no terrible weather, no ice on the Illinois River, nothing out of the ordinary to explain the dramatic cost increases except for heightened demand for barge services. Scott said farmers are paying more this year to get a crop to market that is worth less. The agricultural industry is being forced to buy freight away from the well-capitalized oil and gas and steel sectors. “That’s something I think we’re going to be struggling with, quite frankly, for a while,” he said. He doesn’t have any easy answers for growers and exporters. In fact, the situation may get worse before it gets better because of the crumbling infrastructure on the waterways. U.S. farm groups are lobbying Congress to modernize the locks and dams. More than half of the nation’s 241 locks are 50 years or older and more than one-quarter exceed 70 years.

OATS | MARKETS

Oat futures still reflect rail problems Contracts in inverse | Difficulty getting oats to users lifts BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Chicago oat futures keep revealing the troubles in rail logistics shipping to the U.S.. This year’s futures prices are registering an inversion between nearby and further out months. That was often the case last year. Last year also saw enormous spreads between prairie cash market prices and futures prices. The inversion once more makes oat futures prices a poor standard against which to judge prairie cash prices, and is a clear indicator of the problem of getting rail cars full of oats to where they’re needed. “Essentially it’s a function of freight and the availability of freight,” said broker Austin Damiani of Frontier Futures in Minneapolis of the inversion. Crop futures should usually have

“carry,” or a slightly higher price in later futures month compared to the nearby contracts. The carry reflects the cost of storing the product. However, oat futures are now inverted. As of Oct. 20 December was $3.50 per bushel, March $3.39, May $3.31 and July $3.24. The only break in the pattern is with September 2015, in which prices are three cents higher than July. Oats are concentrated geographically, both in production and delivery, allowing this odd price phenomena to develop. T h e f u t u re s price

futures, but prairie cash prices still lag behind reflects a delivery point in the Minneapolis area so when there are problems shipping oats off the Prairies and shortages develop at Minneapolis the futures price rises. But the shipping problems cause the cash price on the Prairies to fall. Ken Ball of P.I.Financial said most futures contracts are almost never used to force delivery of physical crop, but it is not uncommon with oats. There have been so many problems getting Canadian oats off the Prairies to U.S. buyers that some commercial users stand for delivery so that they can be guaranteed good quality. This is intensified by the thinness of trade in further-out months, with most futures trade occurring in the nearby contract.

“Last year, every month just about would zoom up 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 cents (per bushel) going into delivery,” said Ball. “We’ll probably see that all winter.” Damiani said nearby futures reveal that traders know rail problems make it hard to get physical grain into the oat delivery zone. A big risk premium is built in to nearby prices. However, traders aren’t willing to price that into winter months because the situation then is unknown. “You do have an idea that it’s going to be hard to move a whole bunch of oats into delivery position (now) … but (with later months) you just don’t know, so you don’t have that same sort of risk premium.”

CANOLA | BASIS & SPREAD

MARKET BRIEF

Signs point to solid domestic and export use

BEEF MARBLING

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

I

t appears that commercial demand for canola is picking up. The basis on the November contract narrowed in some places to almost zero last week. In a further indication of improving demand, the spread between the January canola contract and November is also narrowing to less than $4 a tonne from about $7 a few weeks ago. The $4 spread is less than the true cost of carry. Grain companies maybe increased their efforts a little to attract canola

deliveries, but farmers appear reluctant sellers. Producers are still relatively flush after a string of highly profitable years and so have the ability to wait until the harvest lows are behind us. Many also contracted canola last winter and spring when prices were higher and have covered immediate cash flow needs. The basis and spread indicate solid upcoming demand, adding to an already strong pace of domestic use and exports this crop year. The Canadian Grain Commission’s export figures show that 1.8 million tonnes of canola were shipped in the first 10 weeks of the crop year, up from 1.25 million at the same point last year. It means exports are averaging 180,000 tonnes a week, which is a little ahead of the 161,500 tonne pace needed to reach Agriculture Canada’s export target of 8.4 million

tonnes. Of course, deliveries and rail movement slow in the coldest weeks of winter so it is good to be ahead of the game now. The pace of domestic crush is also ahead of what is needed to meet Agriculture Canada’s forecast for total crop year canola processing. The forecast is 7.1 million tonnes, or an average weekly crush of 136,500 tonnes. So far, the crush is averaging 148,000 tonnes. The profitability of crushing canola is similar to what it was 12 months ago but less than last winter and spring, when transportation problems pressured canola prices lower than what they should have been relative to soybeans. Last week’s canola crush was at 80 percent of the capacity of members of the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association, which was a little less than the average capacity use for the crop year so far.

New capacity is coming online. Bunge has begun operations at its new plant in Altona, Man., which has about twice the capacity of its old plant there. That should help drive the weekly crush higher. If exports and domestic use reach the Agriculture Canada targets, then canola stocks at the end of the year should fall to a fairly tight 900,000 tonnes, down from 2.36 million at the end of 2013-14. That should support canola prices, but remember canola operates in the wide context of the global oilseed market, which includes soybean, palm oil, sunflowers, cotton and peanuts. The record U.S. soybean crop and an expected record South American soybean crop will limit the potential for price rallies. Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

India holds up adoption of WTO deal Grain stockpiling | Bali agreement in stalemate as India holds out for concessions on stores BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Little progress is being made on the world’s most influential agricultural trade agreement, says a policy analyst. After 12 long years, the 160 members of the World Trade Organization finally came to an agreement on a trade deal in Bali, Indonesia, in December. However, no progress has been made to implement that deal because of one country — India, said Gary Blumenthal, president of World Perspectives. The plan coming out of Bali was to hash out a trade facilitation agreement followed by a food security agreement. The July deadline for the trade facilitation agreement came and went because India wouldn’t allow the agreement to move forward. “India realized that it might not get what it wants on food security, which is everybody saying, ‘sure, stockpile all the food you want,’ ” said Blumenthal during an interview at the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “They are pretty much alone on this, but they are steadfast. They do not appear willing to budge at all.” Exporting nations are not prepared to grant India what it wants. History shows stockpiles tend to build to a point where the grain starts to go bad and then it is suddenly sold abroad at cheap prices. “It’s pretty clear to anybody who works in grain markets that it will be dumped, disrupting everybody else’s exports,” said Blumenthal. The United States and the European Union have responded to India’s intransigence on the stockpiling issue by threatening to not move for-

It is estimated that a W TO deal would deliver a $1 trillion benefit to the world economy, which dwarfs the value of any other trade agreement. For example, the Trans-Pacific Partnership is expected to have a value of $300 billion. No new timeline has been set for reaching a deal on the trade facilitation agreement, and neither side appears willing to budge. “They just continue to demagogue each other in Geneva. There’s a reason

why it’s called the General Agreement to Talk and Talk,” said Blumenthal, jokingly referring to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which was the precursor to the WTO. He has no idea whether a solution can be found to the most recent WTO impasse. “India will have to be given something, but they’re not going to get all that they want because the rich countries are saying, ‘no way.’ ” Blumenthal believes the structure of the WTO needs to change. It was possible to reach a consensus when the organization was dominated by the 24 members of the Orga-

nization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), but that is proving exceedingly difficult now that there are 160 members. “It’s too diverse and complex now. It worked fine when it was 24 OECD members (calling) all the shots,” he said. In those days, the rich countries would make an agreement among themselves and share the benefits with the poor countries without making them pay anything because they had nothing to offer. That is not the case anymore. Emerging markets such as Brazil, India, Russia and China have plenty to offer. “They have something to give, but they were getting it free for so long they don’t know why they have to give now,” said Blumenthal. “So that’s the problem. It’s a mental hurdle for them to think they have to give anything but meanwhile they’re eating our cake.” Blumenthal said the W TO still serves a purpose despite its inability to implement a global trade pact. “The WTO continues to serve a very important function for dispute settlement as a place for existing rules and their enforcement. That’s very valuable,” he said.

U.S. cattle industry grapples with quality versus quantity CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Cheaper feed and the removal of a feed additive are bringing U.S. beef lovers juicier steaks. However, it leaves the industry wondering whether to muscle up cattle before slaughter or aim for more fat, which enhances flavour. The industry has depended on growth promoters known as betaagonists to increase production as a way to counter the smallest U.S. cattle herd in 63 years. However, these additives largely pack on muscle, not tastier fat that produces “marbling” and helps push the carcass into the U.S. government’s top Choice category. For the week ending Sept. 13, cattle Choice carcasses were up 2.3 percentage points from a year ago at 64.7 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but fewer carcasses graded Select, the next lower quality category. Part of the improvement in quality is because of increased use of corn, which is cheap because of a record harvest. As well, cattle have been fattened slowly on grass as pastures recover from years of drought. Another factor leading to fattier meat was Merck & Co.’s removal of Zilmax, a potent growth enhancer, in the summer of 2013. Alternative beta-agonists don’t pack on as much muscle. “If you take Zilmax out of the equation, and you have cheap corn, the two together gives you cattle that are going to grade better,” said John Nalivka, president of Sterling Marketing Inc. in Oregon, whose clients include packers and feedlot operators. Some leading meat packers, including Tyson Foods and Cargill, stopped using Zilmax last year, citing animal welfare regarding cases of cattle with difficulty walking. Cargill chalks up better grading to improved genetics, longer feed times and more affordable feed. Company spokesperson Mike Martin said in an e-mail that more study is needed to determine whether there is a direct correlation between better beef quality and Zilmax removal.

China’s feed millers grow as industry consolidates Poultry biggest consumer | Global feed mill production approached one billion tonnes, but grew only one percent last year BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Feed mills around the world produced nearly one billion tonnes of product last year, according to a supplement manufacturer. Alltech uses its sales force of nearly 500 people, who visit feed mills in 129 countries, to estimate global feed production and consumption. Statistics such as these are not available elsewhere.

The company estimates that 28,196 feed mills produced 963 million tonnes valued at $500 billion. Aidan Connolly, vice-president of corporate accounts with Alltech, cautioned that it is extremely difficult to get reliable data. For instance, he has heard estimates of feed use in the U.S. aquaculture industry that range from one million to 11 million tonnes. He also stressed that the statistics do not include on-farm mixing of feeds.

“In China, the number could be three times as big if we looked at the on-farm number,� he told the recent 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade conference. China is the largest producer of feed in the world. Its mills produced an estimated 189 million tonnes of feed last year. The country’s poultry sector consumed 81 million tonnes of that feed, followed by the hog sector at 73 million tonnes and aquaculture at 23 million tonnes. The United States came in second at 169 million tonnes, followed by Brazil at 67 million tonnes. The feed industry tends to grow every year along with the consumption of meat, milk and eggs, but 2013 was a disappointing year for growth. Feed production was up only one percent compared to a two to three percent increase in previous years because of rising grain prices in 2013. “That increase in the cost of feed did have an effect on people (who were) looking at other ways to feed animals,� said Connolly. More animals were fed on the farm or in pastures, and there was an increase in the use of amino acids and enzymes to get more out of feed. Poultry is the behemoth of the feed industry, consuming 444 million tonnes, or 46 percent of the feed produced by the world’s mills. Broilers ate 272 million tonnes of that, followed by layers at 144 million tonnes. Connolly said poultry is clean, safe, easy to cook, fits all religious constraints and is cheap compared to other meat. The hog sector came in a distant second at 243 million tonnes followed by ruminants at 196 million tonnes. Aquaculture is the fastest growing segment at 40 million tonnes, up 17 percent from 2012. “You hear some statistics saying that we are consuming more aquaculture now than we are beef as a world population,� said Connolly. “I have some doubts on how that’s being calculated.� He suspects shells are included in total shellfish consumption, which is skewing the statistic higher. The number of feed mills has dropped rapidly because of industry consolidation.

Asia is home to 13,266 mills, or 47 percent of the world total. North America has 5,736 followed by Europe at 4,886. The largest mills are in the Middle East, where the average mill processes 176,189 tonnes of feed a year compared to the North American average of 36,456 tonnes. CP Group of Thailand is the world’s largest feed mill with 23.2 million tonnes of production. Cargill holds the second spot with 15.9 million tonnes followed by New Hope Group of China at 13 million tonnes. Connolly expects the New Hope Group to soon process 20 million tonnes a year as it buys smaller Chinese mills. The Chinese government i s e n c o u ra g i n g c o n s o l i d at i o n because most of the country’s food security incidents have occurred at smaller mills. “The feed sector has traditionally been dominated by U.S. based companies but will be increasingly in the future dominated by Chinese companies,� he said. China’s Wen’s Group is No. 7 in the Top 10. It is the second largest pig company in the world, producing more than 10 million hogs a year.

THE WORLD’S TOP 10 FEED COMPANIES China is already home to four of the world’s top-10 feed mill companies and in a few years it will dominate the top-10 because the Chinese government is encouraging large feed mills to gobble up small mills where the majority of food safety concerns originate.

CANOLA | CRUSHING

Bunge completes Manitoba processing expansion BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

6XSSRUWHG E\

ANIMAL FEED A BOOMING INDUSTRY

It took longer than expected, but Bunge is finally processing canola at its new plant in Altona, Man., that replaces an existing facility . The expansion boosts the annual capacity of the operation to 875,000 tonnes from 385,000 tonnes. The plant was originally supposed to be operating in time to process the 2012 har vest, but construction delays pushed the timeline back a couple of years. Jack Froese, a canola grower from

Winkler, Man., is happy to have more crush capacity in his area. “Any time you get a plant close to home, it’s good news because you get a better basis,� he said. His other delivery options include the Northstar Agri Industries plant in Hallock, Minnesota, and the Viterra plant in Ste. Agathe, Man. “We’ve got quite a few options now. It’s good news,� said Froese. “We need these plants just to be able to keep up and crush what we’re growing.� Farmers harvested an estimated 14 million tonnes of canola this year.

Agriculture Canada expects half of the crop to be crushed in Canada. Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader of grains and oils with Dow AgroSciences, believes there will be 10 million tonnes of crush capacity in Canada next year. He thinks the crush will continue to expand until it eventually reaches 12 to 14 million tonnes. Bunge will be part of that continued expansion. It is doubling the capacity of its plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., and also operates plants in Nipawin, Sask., Harrowby, Man., and Hamilton, Ont.

CANFAX REPORT CASH TRADE DRIES UP Most Alberta feedlots are contracting cattle for better returns, and the cash trade was too small to establish a trend. Few local bids suggested the Alberta-Nebraska cash-to-cash basis remains seasonally weak. American buyers showed interest in the market during the week, but local packer interest was lacklustre. Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to Oct. 11 rose two percent to 36,338 head. Weekly Canadian exports to Oct. 4 fell eight percent to 7,953 head. Trucking to the United States is a challenge because of the fall calf run now underway. North American market-ready fed supplies are expected to tighten, and slaughter cow and bull supply is only moderate, meaning the market is fundamentally well supported. U.S. packers will need to buy this week, and interest in Canadian cattle could improve. To generate cash trade, cash prices must rise to align with fall contract bids.

ageable and the loonie continues to trade below US90 cents. Market direction will depend on non-fed supplies and export demand. Weekly exports to Oct. 4 totalled 6,787 head. That was up two percent from the same time last year.

FEEDERS VOLATILE The calves that are now trading are priced against the June Chicago live cattle contract, which was highly volatile last week. Every 100 point swing on the live cattle futures equates to roughly a $2-$3 per cwt. fluctuation on calf prices, assuming a constant basis and Canadian dollar. Ontario buyers are buying Alberta and Saskatchewan feeder cattle, but truck supply is becoming an issue.

Anyone selling feeders through electronic sales or private treaty might consider deferring delivery two weeks or offering a one week delivery window so that trucks can be scheduled. Steers on average are trading $116 higher than last year, while heifers are up $109. The spread between steers and heifers continues to widen, especially on calves and light stockers. All provinces saw auction volumes increase compared to the previous week. Weekly feeder exports to Oct. 4 totalled 14,093 head. Barley prices have risen, which will weigh on the feeder market. Bred cows traded at $1,700-$2,375.

CATTLE ON FEED Canfax’s Oct. 1 Alberta-Saskatche-

wan Cattle on Feed report showed the on-feed number is not increasing as fast as a year ago. Cattle on feed were nine percent higher than a year ago this summer, but as of Oct. 1 the number was three percent below last year. Marketings in September were up six percent from last year but down four percent from the five-year average. September placements were down only three percent from last year and four percent from the five-year average. Yearling placements appear down, but feedlots were aggressively placing smaller calves. Market-ready supplies are expected to tighten toward the end of the year, and the large number of forward sold calves and the early placement of light calves means

market volumes for the fall calf run likely won’t increase as much as expected.

BEEF UP T h e U. S. C h o i c e c u t o u t ro s e US$1.86 to $248.92 per cwt., and Select was steady at $234.92. Canadian cutout values were again unavailable. The September Consumer Price Index showed stronger growth in the beef sector compared to pork and poultry. The CPI for beef was up 4.4 percent month over month, while pork was up 2.2 percent and poultry meat .3 percent. Beef is up 18.4 percent year over year, while pork is up 13.8 percent and poultry meat is up 3.1 percent.

COWS STRONG D1, D2 cows ranged $115-$135 to average $125.70 per cwt. D3 ranged $105-$120 to average $111.67. Rail grade cows were $237-$242. Average D1, D2 cows have traded in a tight range of $122.25 to $126.50 per hundredweight over the past 10 weeks. Cow and bull supply is rising seasonally, but numbers are manageable. It is rare for non-fed markets to set annual highs during the fourth quarter. However, there is a chance to set new highs if volumes remain man-

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$75-$75 per hundredweight Oct. 17, down from $80 Oct. 10. U.S. hogs averaged $98.04 on a carcass basis Oct. 17, down from $104.52 Oct. 10. The U.S. pork cutout dropped to $111.01 per cwt. Oct. 17, down from $122.63 Oct. 10. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Oct. 18 was 2.187 million, up from 2.136 million Oct. 12. Slaughter was 2.29 million last year at the same time.

But can scientists ever truly separate themselves from emotion and politics? After all, scientists are humans who live in the real world full of passion and emotion. And what happens when scientific research has only recently addressed an issue and initial studies are conflicting? Then we must hope for an open dialogue that will over time, with the amassing of more information and understanding, allow a scientific consensus to emerge. In this dialogue, it is critical that scientists feel free to engage and present information, theories and honest criticism without the fear of official censure, public ridicule or personal attack. We are in a time of scientific uncertainty and public passion about the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments and their effect on bee health. Bee colonies are dying in higher than usual numbers in some parts of the world. Researchers identify many reasons for the pressure on bees: varroa mites, disease, excessive colony relocations as beekeepers move from crop to crop, poor management and pesticides, particularly neonics. The issue has become leading news because bees, like polar bears, are familiar, sympathetic characters. Every child learns about the hard working honeybee that brings us sweet nectar. It is easy for adults to grasp the bee’s vital role in pollinating plants. So it is understandable that the public’s passions rise upon hearing that the bee is under threat, and by extension the world of flowering

plants and indeed much of our food supply. And when the public is engaged, so too are governments. Unfortunately in this context, the complexities and nuances of scientific debate might be lost in the pursuit of action and simple solutions. In Europe, the public outcry over neonics led to a two-year ban on three of the most common products. And it looks like Ontario could move in the same direction, with Ontario environment commissioner Gord Millar focusing on some studies that indicate the dangers of neonics go beyond bee health and present a threat to the whole ecosystem, similar to DDTs. However, the Western Producer’s reporting shows that there is a much wider range of scientific findings on neonics. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency also referred to the range of factors that affect bee health in a comprehensive report this year. American bee experts said pesticide use was a concern, but it is only one factor in the pressure on bee health. Despite this, the debate around neonics is becoming more heated, so much so that scientists with research in the field might avoid public statements, particularly if their findings go against what appears to be a growing public, if not scientific, consensus against neonics. That would be a shame. To make informed decisions, the public and policy makers need input from scientists studying all points of the issue. The goal is the safe use of new technologies in agriculture. Science can guide us there if it is allowed to be fully heard.

COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING | CONTINUING THE FIGHT

New COOL victory at WTO good news, but battle far from over CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

I

t’s a win federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz could really use right now. After months of speculation, the World Trade Organization ruled Oct. 20 that the United States had not done enough to bring its controversial meat labelling rules into compliance of international trade rules. The WTO’s dispute resolution body said in its ruling that mandatory country-of-origin labelling clearly discriminates against Canadian and Mexican livestock exports and favours domestic animals , which is illegal under WTO rules. COOL, which has been in place since 2008, requires producers and

processors to identify where an animal is born, raised and slaughtered. The ruling confirms what Canadian and Mexican officials and industry representatives have been arguing for years: COOL is unfair and hurts livestock exports. This week’s decision is not the first time Canada has won a COOL challenge at the WTO. In July 2012, the same WTO panel found that the initial rule violated international trade law and ordered the U.S. to amend the legislation to bring it into compliance. Instead, the U.S. tightened the policy, making changes in the spring of 2013 that opponents insisted made COOL even worse. The U.S. actions would ultimately send the entire argument back to the W TO, where the final strike was issued earlier this week. The Americans, though, are expected to appeal the decision, which Ritz told reporters Oct. 20 only served to confirm COOL was a “political solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.” “I think they’ll ride this all the way to the bottom,” Ritz said when asked

about the chance of an appeal. The WTO’s ruling now paves the way for Canada and Mexico to retaliate against the Americans if they don’t comply. Ritz and trade minister Ed Fast have threatened repeatedly that Canada is prepared to impose retaliatory tariffs against more than 30 American products if COOL is not repealed. Products can be added to Canada’s list if necessary, Ritz said, particularly if one state or spokesperson is proving to be more ornery on the issue than others. Mexico has yet to release a list, but Ritz told reporters Mexican officials would likely release more information once the appeal process is underway. Canada, meanwhile, will use the next few months to prepare retaliatory options. Conversations with the Americans are not off the table, Ritz said, but only with a willing counterpart who understands the detrimental impact COOL has had on this country’s livestock sector. Canada is not prepared to negotiate, he said, nor should it have to. The WTO’s ruling is clear, Ritz said.

A full repeal of the rule is the only option Canada is willing to consider. The government will “not blink” on the issue, Ritz said, a commitment that triggered praise from both the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Pork Council. Still, there’s much work to be done. While the WTO’s decision to rule in Canada’s favour was not unexpected, all eyes will be on the government’s next moves: words must be backed by action. Ritz has committed to a full repeal of COOL, which is believed to be costing the Canadian beef and pork industry more than $1 billion a year. While the minister has talked tough on the file before, the Americans for the most part have continued to stall. And, while there is a growing movement in the United States to address the COOL issue, Ritz must ensure that the solution meets the needs of Canadian producers first. Canada’s integrated beef and pork industries depend on it. Ritz must use every avenue available to him to convince his American counterparts to take this situation seriously, if he hasn’t already. Lobby efforts must

be maintained, capitalizing on the recent processing plant closures and American calls for COOL’s repeal. And, as opposition members suggested repeatedly in conversation Oct. 20, if a meeting between the prime minister and the president on COOL will help, it should be considered. There is no question winning again at the WTO is a step in the right direction. Still, one cannot forget that Canada has won in that arena before, only to have the Americans turn around and tighten COOL’s grip. The COOL tides may be shifting, but the risk of political games has not waned. One might argue the risk of politics trumping reason is actually higher given the ongoing political climate. With election campaigns well underway on both sides of the border, the likelihood of folks digging in their heels is rising by the day, regardless of what the WTO has to say. Ritz has said COOL has to go. Now it’s time for him to keep his word. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

Family farms remain vital to agriculture BY FOOD TANK

T

he world recently focused on 500 million family farmers while observing World Food Day Oct. 16. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization has recognized family farmers as central to solving global hunger and malnutrition.... The FAO also reports that family farmers account for an average of 80 percent of all holdings, based on data from 93 countries, and are the main producers of locally consumed food. “The world cannot do without the family farmer,” says Amy McMillen, FAO’s partnerships and outreach coordinator. “It’s because of the family farmer that we eat a variety of healthy foods every day, and yet family farmers still make up the majority of poor and hungry people in the world. We must do more to incentivize, celebrate and exponentially improve the lives of family farmers to ensure all people have access to fresh, healthy food.” The face of family farming in North America is dynamic. A new survey of 75 North American family farmers, led by Humanitas Global in collaboration with the FAO and Food Tank, shows they remain committed to family far ming, despite the challenges. “The survey results and our conversations with farmers reinforce a deep affinity for family farming, but they also show that farmers are torn between a love for the land and trying to make ends meet,” said Nabeeha M. Kazi, president of Humanitas Global and chair of the Community for Zero Hunger. Seventy-nine percent of survey

In a survey, 79 percent of respondents who left a family farm report that they continue to work in agriculture. respondents who have left the family farm said they remain involved in agriculture in their current careers. In addition, most of those who have left the family farm said they intend to return in the future. “We do not want the universe of family farmers to shrink, and we must have policies, programs and resources to enable family farmers to stay on the farm if they desire to do so and perform at their potential,” says Kazi. “However, we also cannot overlook the power of those who have left the

farm. These individuals have tremendous and highly credible voices as we promote and protect the family farm. We should deploy them to inform policy, shape programs and amplify the story of the family farmer in diverse spaces.” The greatest challenges for family farmers include the cost of land, labour costs, government regulations and policies, climate change and the inherent risk of farming, as well as the disproportionate amount of work required given the financial returns.

“The survey results show that family farmers do not rely on farming alone to pay the bills,” says Kazi. “Approximately 67 percent of respondents to the survey said that a family member’s income or additional part-time work supplements income from farming.” On the positive side, a connection with the land and food systems, independence and working outdoors were all cited as the principle advantages of being a farmer. Those who grew up and remained on farms, those who left farms to pursue other careers and new family farmers all said that tending to the land and watching food grow were the most fulfilling aspects of being a farmer. The challenges that family farmers face in North America mirror the challenges seen globally. Climate change, low profitability and better off-farm opportunities all emerge as the greatest global threats. “Recognizing the external pressures on family farming, many which the global community can help alleviate, is crucial if we are to make family farming viable and desirable for the next generation,” says McMillan. “FAO celebrates family farmers. We have to be ver y deliberate and responsive to the needs of the family farmer so they can successfully and profitably do what they love, and that love is feeding and nourishing the world.” Food Tank is a non-profit organization that advocates for food system changes while promoting environmentally, socially and economically sustainable methods of alleviating hunger and obesity and poverty.

GRAIN HANDLING | OWNERSHIP

FNA’s proposal to purchase CWB has many gaps HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

F

armers collectively exercising control over their own destinies is an appealing concept. However, there are many reasons to be sceptical of Farmers of North America’s proposal to take over a privatized CWB. Not long ago, farmer-owned grain companies dominated the landscape of Western Canada. The tangled tale of mergers, takeovers and fancy financing deals is all wrapped up in the history of Viterra, which is now owned by the multinational firm Glencore. A few inland terminals remain that are at least 50 percent farmer owned, but several have been bought by

main line companies in recent years and a couple have been bought by CWB. Farmer shareholders decided to accept good returns on their initial investments and leave the grain handling business. Producer car loading facilities, which are often associated with short-line rail operations, are another example of farmers bypassing the main line companies, but they collectively handle only a small percentage of prairie grain. CWB, with assets it has bought and with the terminals it is building, will have something that resembles a prairie-wide network. That should provide more clout in the marketplace, but most potential farmerinvestors won’t have a nearby delivery option. It’s one thing to invest in a facility that’s in your local area. It’s quite another to invest in a network where the nearest delivery point may be impractical because of distance. And how much control would individual producers have? The FNA proposal doesn’t seem to say much

about governance. There’s a general sense fuelled by the FNA campaign that grain companies are making large profits at the expense of farmers, and that a farmer-owned competitor would mean more money in the pockets of producers. That’s a valid theory, but the marketplace always adjusts to competition. If a privatized CWB can actually offer farmers superior prices, it won’t be long before the other grain companies narrow the gap. Farmers would benefit whether or not they invested. While that may not be fair, it tends to be how the marketplace works. There’s also the question of whether new terminals are needed. The system needs more railway coordination and more locomotives, rail cars and people. Arguments can also be made for more railway double tracking and perhaps more port capacity. More inland terminals will do little or nothing to improve logistics.

CWB isn’t saying much about its privatization plan, which makes the FNA proposal rather vague. The FNA has held lots of farmer meetings, but attendance appears to have been sparse. This can be partially blamed on the need to have meetings during harvest, but empty meeting rooms don’t signal a wave of farmer support. The CWB expansion has apparently been funded by some combination of government transition money and money that was accumulated in contingency funds. Either way, isn’t that money from and for farmers? Why should farmers have to invest their hard-earned money to buy a controlling interest in a privatized CWB, when CWB’s resources should belong to farmers in the first place? Overall, there are many reasons for producers not to be excited by the FNA proposal. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

MICHAEL RAINE, MANAGING EDITOR

Within its pages, the Producer welcomes debate from agriculture critics

T

he Western Producer, like most publications, has one foot on each side of a street. One side is where journalists live and work ; the other is where the community they cover exists. The reporters and editors are paid to observe, analyze and report. Even when they want to, they can’t cheer or condemn what they see, except in the limited venue of these few opinion pages. We try to keep open minds, even if we might not agree. On the other side of the street are our folks who build the publication, market our product and sell our ads. They work hard to sell what the journalists build. They can cheer on agriculture and openly support the industry that feeds us all. One of our duties as a successful agricultural business is to support agricultural organizations and their events, charitable and otherwise. Sponsorships vary, from cash to inkind donations such as providing advertising space. Last weekend a pair of well-known research centres, AgWest Bio and Genome Prairie, approached me. Those research institutes were concerned that The Western Producer was sponsoring an upcoming agricultural industry event where some of the speakers are known for their questionable science. The presenters are opposed to genetic modification of plants and animals for food production and tend to be against large-scale, commercial agriculture. As a sponsor of an event where diverse opinions are shared, we don’t take an editorial position. Our marketing folks look at the value that a conference might deliver to the agricultural community and to our business and decide on sponsorship. In this case it is about organic agriculture, a small, but vital and growing sector. Our sponsorship isn’t an endorsement of the event’s speakers, nor would we want to silence dissenting voices by refusing sponsorship. We support the discussion, hoping it informs you. If you feel these voices threaten our industry, we offer and encourage you to use these pages to express those positions.

Further to writer Ruth Pryzner’s letter (Brandon Sun, Oct. 8) Corporate interests represented by the Manitoba Pork Council, the public needs to be made aware that the hog industry continues to damage Manitoba’s environment. Let’s face it. Manitoba’s hog industry is destructive to the environment, say experts, and the return of small scale, mixed operation farming is needed to combat the influence of industrial hog operations in the province. You can’t raise animals in factories and be environmentally benign, says Joe Dolecki, professor of environmental economics at Brandon University.

Eva Pip, a biology and aquatic toxicologist at the University of Winnipeg, points to manure phosphorus runoff as the main contributor to the algal bloom problem in Lake Winnipeg. If you have 10,000, 20,000 or more hogs just in one operation, that’s all completely raw, untreated waste … that’s the equivalent of a small city. In traditional agriculture, pigs are only one aspect of a mixed farming operation, meaning that manure is easily recycled back on to the fields and utilized, without excess problems. In industrial hog agriculture, you have so much waste that it is impossible not to end up polluting, Pip added. In the fall of 2007, a report from the George Morris Centre estimates that a total of only 1,382 direct, and 3,394

indirect jobs are attributable to hog production in Manitoba with another 3,713 direct and indirect jobs created in the packing component. The industry total (8,488) represents about 57 percent of the number (15,000) claimed in recent Manitoba Pork Council advertising. The clear, yet unmentioned, implication is that job creation from hog production is minimal and is hardly sufficient to inspire the repopulation of rural Manitoba, as the industry claims. For the record, and job comparison, in 1980, 14,200 Manitoba farmers were raising pigs: lots of jobs there. That report is titled, A Pig in a Poke. It’s a fitting label for the hog welcoming mat initially spread out by the (Gary) Filmon Conservative govern-

ment; translated as “an offering or deal that is foolishly accepted without being examined first.” My translation is “the manure pile of modern civilization.” This hog industry is a meat exporting business. Manitobans consume about six percent of their production. The rest is shipped away leaving us, and our water sources, to deal with all the waste and pollution that is produced and left behind, adding just one more value-added concept, as initially proclaimed by the Filmon Conservative government. John Fefchak, Virden, Man.

NO BOUNDARY LINE To the Editor: There are pesticides in our drinking water, in our air, and islanders (Prince Edward Island) need a strong government to ensure our rights to a clean environment. Where did the line between governance and industry go? Now (Cavendish Farms president) Robert Irving and (P.E.I. premier) Robert Ghiz share a press conference to jointly deal with buying environmentally sensitive land. Government pays half and Irving pays half. I see this as a complete conflict of interest. If it was a right decision for the public good and the Liberal government sees fit to use taxpayers dollars this way then so be it. Irving should not be paying half. What if this new precedent of letting industry buy in to environmental solutions in collusion with government runs against the goals of industry? This is a conflict of interest. This is a very bad precedent involving separation of government who should protect our rights and industry.…

It was not surprising to see Stewart Wells continue his campaign of ignorance in his recent letter. A quick look at the facts show just how separated from reality he and his dwindling supporters truly are. Farmers elected our government with a strong majority across the Prairies to implement an aggressive agricultural agenda, and that is exactly what we are doing. We have delivered long-awaited marketing freedom to grain farmers. We have bolstered insurance-based programming that is bankable and predictable for farmers, while maintaining a fulsome suite of BRM (business risk management) programming. We have scrapped the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry. Partnering with industry, we have increased investments in research and innovation to unprecedented levels. Thanks to important changes made by our government, Canadian farmers are thriving. Farm cash receipts and net operating incomes are at alltime highs, and with marketing freedom we have seen a resurgence of wheat and barley across the Prairies. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

OPINION » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE When farmers were facing transportation challenges, our government took swift action.... While Stewart Wells eagerly awaits the next full moon, our government will continue to work with farmers to take Canadian agriculture to new and unprecedented heights. Farmers know that our government delivers on our commitments, and we will proudly take this record into the 2015 election. Gerry Ritz, agriculture minister, Ottawa, Ont.

IGNORANCE? To the Editor: It’s quite comical to see (agriculture) minister (Gerry) Ritz’s staff try to belit-

tle anyone who has an opinion contrary to the minister or anyone who tries to get some information out of the minister. Case in point is the recent attack on Mr. Stewart Wells where the minister implies Mr. Wells is ignorant. Why does the minister have to attack farmers? Why doesn’t the minister simply answer their questions with concrete answers? Was the minister ignorant when he promised farmers at a Manitoba meeting that they would have a vote on the future of the CWB prior to the federal election in 2011 and then after that election simply going about killing the single desk CWB without a farmer vote? Was the minister ignorant when he spouted off the marketing freedom had led to increased barley acreage? In actual fact, barley plantings are at a 50- year low now, and with feed barley selling for approximately $2 a bushel now, I wonder how much marketing

freedom farmers can take? Was the minister being ignorant when announcing with the prime minister about a pasta plant being built in Regina when still none exists there? Is the minister now being ignorant when even his own marketing freedom brokers are taking/stealing in excess of $3 per bushel from farmers and the minister is unwilling to do anything about it? Was the minister being ignorant when he failed to present the CWB annual report to Parliament on time and therefore broke a law he had created? Is the minister being ignorant when he affirms farmers support his governments ag policies but will not let farmers have a vote on any major changes? The minister does not need to worry about the next election — he needs to deal with the mess he has made now! Kyle Korneychuk, Pelly, Sask.

T

he tiny plaque that hangs in my home causes many a chuckle. “Press button for maid” it reads. “If no one answers, do it yourself.” It was a stress buster given by an elderly, fastidious friend. When I see it, I smile. We need more chuckles in our lives to help us relax and look for the positive. Think of the teenager from Airdrie, Alta., who chose to respond to a bullying message by placing positive post-it notes throughout her school. “You are beautiful.” “I like your style.” It wasn’t long before community residents chose to regularly put these kind of notes wherever they could. What fun it is to have something positive to think about, talk about and to feel affirmed. In those times when your body drags, when your hard drive is running slow, when you feel overwhelmed by all the “what-ifs,” how good to giggle out loud. Remember the sign on the plumber’s van that said: “A laugh is as good as a flush.” We can look for openings to remind people that life isn’t a sentence, it’s a gift. Laughter can be healing. It’s not about trying to solve each other’s problems. It’s not about assuming the burdens born by another person. It’s about bringing evidence of the blue sky, the sunshine and the rainbows back into focus. I remember the landlady who wore a mask when she greeted kids because “she couldn’t go out.” Some of the children gave her an offering from their bags. We all had a good laugh. Note the twinkling stars on the darkest night and think of the sparkle in God’s eye. Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

NEONICOTINOIDS | DEBATE STIFLED

Pro-neonic scientists stay quiet as debate rages Neonicotinoid debate gets ugly | Scientists who defend seed treatments say they are verbally attacked if they speak out BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadian scientists who believe insecticidal seed treatments are safe are not contributing to the debate over neonicotinoids over fears of how other researchers and environmental groups will react. Ontario environment minister Glen Murray and provincial environment commissioner Gord Miller said earlier this month that neonics are a greater threat to Canada’s ecosystem than DDT. Few, if any, Canadian toxicologists

a n d e nv i ro n m e nt a l s c i e nt i s t s responded. Canadian scientists who spoke off the record said that publicly challenging these sorts of comments has become hazardous to their careers. They said that fellow academics and environmental groups launch verbal assaults to destroy their reputations if they say neonics are safe. Consequently, scientists aren’t speaking up to defend neonics because it’s not worth the hostility. Neonics, which are applied as a seed treatment to almost all corn and

canola in North America and a percentage of soybeans, have been linked to bee colony losses across the United States and Canada. Beekeepers in Ontario filed a $450 million class action suit against neonicotinoid manufacturers Syngenta and Bayer in September, claiming production losses dating back to 2006. University of Saskatchewan research suggests neonics are present at detectable levels in sloughs and wetlands in Western Canada. The neonics are possibly killing insects that come in contact with the water. A

lack of insects reduces the food supply for birds that rely on the insects. A highly regarded toxicologist said the environmental risks surrounding neonicotinoids are “overstated.” Data indicates they are present in wetlands and other water bodies, but the concentrations are in the parts per trillion, which is essentially nothing. He said the true “believers and zealots” hype the neonic risk and use “their research to make an issue where none exists, or make it larger to garner press for the ego and funds for the lab.” Still, the scientist, and others like him, is reluctant to speak up.

An environmental scientist said this case is more unusual than most because the attackers are often other academics. May Berenbaum, an entomology department head at the University of Illinois and vice-president of the Entomological Society of America, said fellow academics haven’t attacked her reputation, but when she publicly says neonics are not the sole reason behind honeybee decline, she does receive malicious e ma i l s f ro m t h e p u b l i c , ma n y accusing her of being in the pocket of industry, which she said is not true. Berenbaum is more shocked that fellow scientists have lowered their academic standards when it comes to neonics. She said prominent journals are publishing sub-standard science on insecticidal seed treatments and bees. “There are a lot of papers that aren’t, I would say, scientifically bulletproof, that have appeared in very high profile journals…. It’s the classic line. Why is this in Nature? Why is this in Science?” she said. “That seems to be all over the place, and there certainly are egregious examples…. It appears to be easier to publish a high profile paper that demonstrates adverse impacts of neonicotinoids, than it does to publish a (no effect) paper.” A Canadian researcher said most reviewers are hostile to insecticide seed treatments, so research showing neonics are safe is highly scrutinized. Meanwhile, papers concluding insecticidal seed treatments are dangerous to bees are less thoroughly judged. Berenbaum said claiming that neonicotinoids are worse than DDT is a good public relations strategy. “Even though it’s been banned in the U.S. since 1972, it’s the one they (people) know. It’s familiar and it’s like DDT is the Hitler of pesticides. If it (neonics) is worse than DDT, then it is worse than Hitler.”

HOGS | SWINE DELTA CORONAVIRUS

Coronavirus found in Alta. hog facility Similar to PED | Producers urged to keep their guards up when it comes to biosecurity

A positive test for swine delta coronavirus at an Alberta hog handling facility is “a shot across the bow” for pork producers, says Alberta Pork president Frank Novak. The often-deadly hog virus was confirmed last week at an unnamed high-traffic pig site, but as of Oct. 20 there were no sick pigs or evidence of herd infection in Alberta. SDCV is in the same family as the deadly porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus that has infected 69 hog facilities in Canada and killed millions of piglets in the United States since May 2013. “The problem is people either get tired or they get complacent or both, and the reality is, that bug’s going to be around for multiple years, probably, and we just absolutely cannot afford to drop our guard,” said Novak. The positive environmental test, one of thousands conducted by Alberta Agriculture and Alberta Pork each month, is the first time evidence of SDCV has been found in Alberta. No positives for PED have been found in the province. However, recent cases of PED infection in Manitoba have Saskatchewan and Alberta producers on guard because hog transport trucks regularly travel between them. PED and SDCV can spread in feces and on other surfaces. “We’ve had reports of people being a little bit lax on certain things with trucks coming from Manitoba and things like that,” Novak said. “We just cannot let that stuff slide.” Alberta officials are working to identify where the virus originated and manage the situation, said Geoff Geddes of Alberta Pork. Alberta Agriculture is also contacting anyone who may have been at the infected site in an effort to control spread. SDCV induces symptoms similar to PED in pigs, including diarrhea and vomiting that can be fatal, particularly in young pigs. “It appears that the mortality rates at least are lower in SDCV than PED but still obviously a very serious concern,” Geddes said. “We’ve kind of tried to take the attitude from the beginning, from when it was first detected in Ontario, that (infection) was a matter of when, not if. But still, we’ve gone for so long without, you hope that it will stay that way.” Producers are being urged to maintain strict biosecurity. A news release about the positive test carries a specific warning: “If any truck tries to enter your farm that has not been cleaned, don’t let it on. It poses a serious risk for bringing PED or SDCV onto your farm and into your barn.” SDCV was first found in pigs in Hong Kong in 2012. It was found in the United States in February and in Ontario in March. There is no effective treatment. “At least it can be kind of a further

sort of warning to people to really make sure that all the biosecurity is tightened up if it’s not already,” Geddes said. “Hopefully we can still head it off.” Neither SDCV nor PED poses any risk to human health. It is generally fatal to young piglets and adversely affects the health of older animals.

Volunteers help harvest despite conditions Canadian Foodgrains Bank | Among poor performing crops, lentils stand out BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The crops in this year’s Canadian Foodgrains Bank growing projects are a mixed bag of good and bad yields and quality. In Saskatchewan, yields from the 32 projects are variable. For example, Hard Red Spring wheat ranges from feed to No. 1 and high protein and yields of 30 to 70 bushels per acre, said Dave Meier, regional co-ordinator. “A couple of the bright spots are the projects with lentils,” he said. “Three projects have lentils and

they look like they will turn a pretty good yield.” Meier said the variable yields and quality are familiar stories for producers. “ Far me r s’ e nthu si as m n e v e r wanes,” he said. “The resilience of the people, if they have a poor crop, it’s real surprising.” The foodgrains bank has provided more than a million tonnes of food and seed worth more than $682 million to millions of people in 78 countries since its was founded 30 years ago. The growing projects are a way for farmers to get involved in raising

food and money to help reduce hunger around the world. Harold Penner said good weather in the past two weeks allowed most of Manitoba’s 41 growing projects to be harvested. The projects ranged from being hailed out to average to excellent. Like Saskatchewan, the enthusiasm to participate in growing projects never seems to wane. “As a whole, there is a lot of enthusiasm for the projects.” Terence Barg, regional co-ordinator for northern Alberta, said only a couple projects are left to harvest. Yields and quality of the 34 projects has been

average or slightly above average. “A lot of the crop has been hauled in or is being stored on farm waiting for the price to rise,” said Barg. Andre Visscher said rain in southern Alberta has made harvest difficult in some areas, but the resilience and determination of farmers to ensure the projects’ success never ceases to surprise. “We’re always surprised how many people are coming out to harvest,” said Visscher. British Columbia has one growing project and two large auctions to raise money to support the foodgrains bank.

Tendering process underway for CWB’s future Grain company looks for partners BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CWB has initiated a formal tendering process aimed at identifying a potential corporate partner interested in either buying the company, merging with it or entering some other type of partnership arrangement. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz confirmed Oct. 17 that the tendering process “has been underway for some time” and is being adjudicated by a nationally recognized accounting firm. The accounting firm, believed to be Deloitte Canada, was hired by CWB earlier this year to accept bids and identify potential corporate partners. Ritz did not say when the tendering process was scheduled to conclude. “It (the process) has been underway for some time,” he told reporters in Saskatoon. “As I understand it, the CWB will cast the net as widely as possible. They’re using an accounting firm so that there’s fairness in these tenders coming in. It will be the CWB bringing forward what they think is the best case scenario.” Terms of the tender, including the deadline for submissions, have not been made public. CWB has declined to comment on the process. It is believed the tendering process will be used to identify a short list of potential corporate partners, which will then be involved in more indepth negotiations. CWB will ultimately select the partner and the deal that it considers most beneficial for the organization and western Canadian farmers. CWB must submit a privatization plan to the federal government by July 31, 2016. Sources in the industry suggest the privatization plan will be completed and submitted to government well in advance of that deadline. Ritz said he was aware of a package that Saskatoon-based Farmers of North America (FNA) is currently putting together. FNA is attempting to raise as much as $380 million in farmer capital to build a grain company and/or buy a controlling stake in CWB. Ritz said FNA officials were late coming to the table, despite being informed eight to 10 months ago that a tendering process might be initiated. “I first spoke to (FNA executives) Jim Mann and Bob Friesen about the possibility of this eight or 10 months ago … so they’ve taken quite a while to throw their hat in the ring,” Ritz said. “They’re a little slow off the starting line, but that doesn’t mean their issues aren’t taken seriously.” Ritz said tendering bids are open to all types of organizations, including multinational grain companies and farmer-supported organizations based in Canada. “I think anything is on the table,” he said.

Sask. egg producers tell stories through videos Inside agriculture | Producer group hopes to engage customers with series of YouTube videos BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan egg producers want consumers to know more about how they operate. Several of the province’s 67 registered producers have participated in videos that take viewers inside barns and grading facilities. Shawn Harman, a third generation producer at Section 7 Farms near Humboldt, said not many people have the chance to see inside a barn because of biosecurity measures. “I think people just don’t have exposure to egg production, so they think animals maybe are mistreated in our environments,” he said. “We make sure we take very good care. That’s one of the reasons we wanted to do the video was to get that message out.” Audrey Price, executive director of Saskatchewan Egg Producers, said consumers need to understand production, food safety and housing. She said they want local, fresh, safe and nutritious food. “They also want to know that it’s humanely raised, that the environment is respected, that we’re good stewards of our animals and that the animals are not mistreated in the raising of this food,” she said. The videos depict conventional cage systems and cage-free systems. They were in the works for about a year, long before the current A&W campaign that promotes eggs from chickens fed a vegetarian diet. Price said chickens are omnivores and will eat anything they can find, but supplemented diets ensure they receive the proper nutrients to produce strong eggshells while maintaining their own health. Harman said Section 7, which produces eggs from 140,000 hens at

facilities near Humboldt, Prince Albert and Steinbach, Man., offers eggs from several types of diets and production systems, including vegetarian. Gold Egg Grain Fed eggs are available at grocery stores, which he said are a good option for people who don’t want to eat animal byproducts in their eggs. For example, rations can contain oyster shells to promote good quality eggshells, while added vitamin D helps birds metabolize calcium. Harman said alternative sources for some vitamins have to be found to

67 NUMBER OF REGISTERED EGG PRODUCERS IN SASKATCHEWAN replace animal sources. “Nutritionally, I don’t think there’s much difference,” he said of the end product.

Harman also said proper barn ventilation is critical to bird health. “We’re pumping fresh air into the barn,” he said. “We have monitors in the barn to measure the air quality. We take that very seriously.” Price said producers have a positive story to tell, which is why these first videos will be followed by more. They were funded through Growing Forward 2 and can be found on the SEP website and YouTube channel. The organization launched the videos last week as producers began

a two-day workshop to learn about new animal care standards. Of the 67 producers who belong to Saskatchewan Egg Producers, 55 are Hutterite colonies. Price said flocks can range from as few as 3,000 birds to tens of thousands. “Size doesn’t mean that it’s not either a family farm or that the birds aren’t dealt with humanely or well cared for,” she said. “People think that quantity equates to big business farming. They’re still local family farms in their communities.”

Long-time Saskatchewan agrologist Grant McLean has died. McLean, who from 2009 until his retirement in 2013 was the face and voice of the provincial crop report, died Oct. 9 in Moose Jaw. He was 67. He spent his entire career with the ministry, beginning as an assistant ag rep in Swift Current in 1971 before moving to Carnduff, where he spent most of his working life. He worked briefly in Outlook before moving to the Agriculture Knowledge Centre in Moose Jaw, where he became the main public source prov id in g a gr i c u l tu ral updates in the crop report. His obituary described him as devoted to his family, faith and profession, a gardener, outdoorsman and musician. McLean is survived by his wife, Cathy, daughters Renise and Raelene, several grandchildren, siblings, nieces and a nephew.

ANTIBIOTICS AND AGRICULTURE | SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Pork group combats critics with online campaign Defending antibiotic use | U.S. National Pork Board is making Google a priority as it does damage control CHICAGO (Reuters) — An American pork association will use an online marketing campaign to counter a critical television documentary on antibiotics use in livestock, pointing consumers to industry-funded websites that defend the practice. The National Pork Board sent out an email about the strategy to food and agriculture officials in advance of the Oct. 14 PBS Frontline program entitled, The Trouble with Antibiotics. The industry was taking steps to “monitor, engage and respond to any and all media coverage of this story,”

said Jarrod Sutton, vice-president for social responsibility at the pork board. One of those steps is to use paid search engine optimization (SEO), according to the email. SEO is a widely employed marketing tactic that aims for a website to show up higher in a search engine’s results for particular search terms. “The industry will tie any consumer searches for ‘PBS Frontline’ and ‘antibiotics’ to the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance site, Food Source,” the email said. “Included in these searches will be

the terms ‘pork,’ ‘antibiotics’ and ‘Frontline.’ In those cases, users will be directed to the National Pork Board and (National Pork Producers Council) NPPC site PorkCares.org.” Sutton said the email was just notifying “our customers and consumers” of something they might find of interest. Sutton, whose email outlined how the pork board was working with livestock commodity groups and others, said “SEO is an emerging way to best direct consumers to accurate and publicly available information.”

It is not clear when the SEO effort would start. A Google search of these terms Oct. 14 did not list any of the sites mentioned in the email in the first 10 pages of search results, nor to ads leading to those sites. Search engine marketing can vary. Some companies use optimized key words and other techniques to rise to the top of standard search results, while others pay for ads on a search engine’s pages. Some firms attempt to “game” search results, which Google and others guard against.

A preview video on PBS’s website showed a series of video clips of farms and scientific labs and questioned whether “decades of antibiotics in our farm animals” may be linked to antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Scientists fear the widespread use of antibiotics on farms may be a facto r in th e r ise o f ba cter ia that become resistant to drugs and infect humans. In 2003, U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced plans to evaluate every new animal drug based on the drug’s potential to create antibiotic resistant bacteria. A Reuters review of FDA data shows the agency has not reviewed the vast majority of animal drugs now on the market because most were approved before 2003.

GENEVA (Reuters) — India broke World Trade Organization rules by blocking U.S. poultr y impor ts because of unsubstantiated bird flu fears, a WTO dispute panel ruled last week. India had claimed its impor t restrictions were justified by international rules on animal health, but the panel agreed with the United States and found that India’s measures were not based on international standards and were discriminatory. The U.S. brought the case in March 2012, with the American poultry industry confident the case would open a market for exports then conservatively valued at US$300 million. In India, which could appeal against the ruling, the trade ministry declined to comment. A senior official at the ministry, who declined to be named, said the government would study the ruling and a decision on appeal against the decision could be taken after getting the view of the animal husbandr y department. The ruling could increase imports of poultry products from the United States, although India could still try to restrict them using other measures such as anti-dumping duties if U.S. exporters tried to sell their products at unfairly cheap prices. Otherwise, India is bound to provide fair market access to other countries under the WTO rules. In July, India blocked a global trade deal that the W TO hoped would restore its role as a forum for negotiating world trade rules after two decades of inertia, and it has continued to resist U.S. pressure to remove its veto.

Farmers at risk for obesity, sleep deprivation BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON BUREAU

OTTAWA — Increased levels of sleep deprivation and obesity in farmers are emerging concerns for safety advocates. Will Pickett of Queen’s University’s department of public health sciences shared the latest results of the ongoing Saskatchewan Farm Injury Project at the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association conference this month. The study found farmers often work 80 to 100 hours a week, especially in busy seasons. “If they’re sleep deprived, they have more injuries,” said Pickett, who recommended fatigue management strategies and clinical care for those affected. Seven percent had sleep disorders such as loud snoring, and half of them were untreated. The undiagnosed ones were at greater risk of daytime “sleepiness” such as nodding off. The study also revealed how increased mechanization on farms has led to sedentary lifestyles in a population with an already high rate of obesity. “It’s great for farming, but mechanization has a cost,” he said, noting how highly mechanized farms experienced a higher rate of injury than traditional ones. The study followed 2,043 farms for two years, during which 467 injuries were reported. Six percent of the injuries required hospitalization, with the majority involving machinery. The study also found that musculoskeletal pain, especially in the lower back, shoulders and neck, was a distraction for farmers. “Uncontrolled pain is a risk factor,” he said. Shortfalls were seen in safety prevention devices: 30 percent of tractors didn’t have rollover protection, 40 percent of shields were missing on augers and 70 percent of corrals didn’t have escape gates for handlers. Hearing loss and asthma were notable for farmers older than 75, who often work 30 or more hours a week and are at high risk of injury. Pickett said children continue to be among the most vulnerable. “(Parents) keep kids close and they are brought to the workplace to protect them, but supervision breaks down and kids die,” he said. “Their exposure to risks are unlike any other setting.” According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting, an average of 13 children die every year as a result of agricultural accidents in Canada. More than 70 percent of the child agricultural fatalities were workrelated. In almost eight out of 10 cases, the victim was not performing farm tasks but was killed by someone else engaged in agricultural work.

Higher prices are no obstacle Farmers markets thriving | Local markets fill a void left by large grocery retailers, says analyst BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers markets continue to post significant increases in sales, says a University of Guelph professor. Sylvain Charlebois, who specializes in food distribution and policy, said the future looks bright. Farmers markets’ overall economic impact now exceeds an estimated $5 billion annually. Farmers markets and organic farming operations typically sell food at higher prices than traditional food retail stores, but Charlebois cites several reasons for their continued growth. “They’re better organized, essentially. I think they’re allowing consumers to know where they are,” he said. “They’re marketing themselves much better. They think beyond the connection between farmers and consumers. They think about the events and experience when you walk on site.” He said farmers markets are getting good at filling what he called a void left by traditional retailers.

“I’ve visited many farmers markets, and I actually do believe that they are making an effort in making the visitations much more of an experience than just going to one place to get some produce and then move on,” he said. Transparency and authenticity are key factors for consumers, who are increasingly better educated and more demanding of where they’re food comes from and how it is grown. “When you go to a farmers market, the person selling you the product can tell the consumer it was picked up this morning, or I was looking at that particular plant for a while and now it’s ripe. They can talk about the soil, the fertilizers, the moisture or the lack thereof, depending on the season,” he said. “Those are the kinds of things that consumers really are yearning for more and more, to better appreciate where their food is coming from.” He said consumer expectations are returning to a time when having a human experience was a necessary ingredient when buying food. “On the demand side, there are more

$5B IN ECONOMIC IMPACT IS GENERATED BY FARMERS MARKETS. | SOURCE: SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS and more people looking for a story behind the food they eat. How better to get a story than go to a farmers market and talk to farmers, talk to brokers, people selling the food,” he said. “Farmers markets just cannot compromise how human and normal people and food should be. It’s not just about stocking the shelves and making sure that all the apples and carrots look beautiful and ripe.” Sue Echlin thinks farmers markets will continue to grow, particularly on the Prairies where people have main-

tained a connection to agriculture. “There’s still a very strong attachment to agriculture on the Prairies,” said Echlin, who is vice-president of the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market and owns Living Sky Winery with husband Vance Lester in Perdue, Sask. “Even when people move to urban centres like Saskatoon, they still want to be able to experience that, and I think they have an understanding of the need to support agriculture.” Prices are perceived as higher at farmers markets, but Echlin said she has watched consumers’ attitudes change based on the questions they ask her at the market. “Three years ago, people were really concerned with price, and now people are more concerned about, ‘are you chemical free, do you hire local people, what goes into this product,’ and very rarely do I get asked the price question anymore,” she said. “That’s been a huge shift. People recognize locally grown food, whether it’s certified organic or not, is generally grown on a smaller scale and with more care than any of the factory farms.”

EASTERN SASKATCHEWAN | HISTORICAL LANDSCAPE

It’s all about the scenery in Narrow Hills Provincial Park TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

T

he landscape changes dramatically soon after we leave Smeaton, Sask., at the start of the Hanson Lake Road (Highway 106). The northern edge of the grain belt in eastern Saskatchewan gives way to the boreal forest of Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It is an exceptional place to experience the powerful effects of 10,000year-old glaciers, when great ice sheets scoured the land and formed long ridges such as eskers and push moraines. The best way to get in touch with this landscape is to follow an impressive scenic drive and take one of the most delightful short hiking trails anywhere. The Narrow Hills Scenic Drive begins near the park’s core area at Lower Fishing Lake. Interpretive panels along the way relate stories about the geology and history of the hills. The road starts out smoothly as it steadily climbs the push moraine ridge but soon becomes a narrow, one-lane track that is deeply rutted in places. It could be challenging in spots if your vehicle has low clearance or you’re visiting after a heavy rain. We wind through thick forest much of the way, but higher onto the ridge, vistas open up over seemingly endless tracts of forested lake lands. A highlight is the view over the Grace Lakes, with its gracefully curving shorelines. The officially designated scenic drive ends here, although the road continues down the hills to the south. However, the park doesn’t recommend going any farther because the trail becomes extremely rough and is often not passable in wet conditions. Before modern roads, this track along the ridges was the main access to the hills and lakes. The best hiking is in the northwest part of the park. To get there, continue north on Highway 106, west on Highway 913 and then follow the signs to the Gem Lakes. Lakes are scattered throughout northern Saskatchewan, but these jewels of the forest stand in a class by

Melt water carved valleys as it flowed beneath the ice. Huge blocks of ice settled in the sandy base, eventually becoming lakes when they melted. The five lakes are small but deep. While practically next to each other, they aren’t connected. The lakes seem to shimmer like gemstones because of their sandy bottoms and amazingly clear deep water. Colours are accentuated by

reflections of the blue sky and surrounding vegetation. It’s easy to see why the lakes were named Jade, Opal, Pearl, Diamond and Sapphire. Follow the 5.5 kilometre network of hiking trails to visit all the lakes. One of the best viewpoints is only a few minutes from the trailhead where a high ridge looks over Jade Lake. The shallow edge of Opal Lake has an iridescent tinge that really is reminiscent of opals. Another of our favourite spots is

Pearl Lake where, if you happen to hit conditions just right, the water appears an almost unreal deep greenish-blue. Walk-in backcountry campsites are located at Diamond Lake and Opal Lake in case you want to linger longer in this special spot. The lakes are stocked with trout, so freshly caught fish might be another bonus. We especially like visiting the Narrow Hills in autumn, when colours are at their prime and campgrounds are almost empty.

The main campground is at Lower Fishing Lake, with smaller camps at Zeden, Ispuchaw, and Baldy lakes. Our top choice is Baldy, where only six spacious sites line the water’s edge. During our most recent trip in late September, we had the entire campground to ourselves. For more information, visit www. saskparks.net.

PSA TEST | HEALTH COVERAGE

Early detection for prostate cancer increases survival rate HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

My husband has just turned 40. I have heard that it is not too early to start testing for prostate cancer in this age group. There have been men in his family, two uncles, who have had it. Is the cost of the test covered in Saskatchewan?

A:

The PSA test is a simple blood test that is an indication of the health of a man’s prostate. In 2013, Prostate Cancer Canada

developed an educational campaign called Know your number, which encourages Canadian men to have a baseline PSA test in their 40s. The patient and doctor can then determine if future tests reveal the number is increasing, suggesting a higher possibility of prostate cancer. People at high risk— those with a family history like your husband or people of African or Caribbean

origin — were especially encouraged to do this. This type of cancer, when detected early, has high survival rates. An earlier Swedish study suggested testing the PSA levels in the mid to late 40s. A high number does not necessarily mean that people have cancer. They might have an inflammation of the prostate known as prostatitis, or it may be a false positive result. Further tests would be needed to

establish the correct diagnosis. Some provincial health-care plans do not cover the cost of this test unless the person has already been diagnosed with prostate cancer or has symptoms that indicate that this is a possibility. The Saskatchewan government covers the PSA test as a screening device. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont. Contact: health@producer.com.

aking fresh pasta is not difficult. Start with a reliable recipe and follow it carefully. If you don’t have a pasta machine, it can be rolled and cut by hand. If rolling by hand, let the dough relax periodically and then continue rolling. Clean your pasta machine carefully. Wait until the dough stuck in the machine is completely dry. The rollers on your pasta machine are made from carbon steel. If you wash them with water, they will rust, no matter how careful you are. Rusted and pitted rollers will tear the pasta as you process it. Clean the main frame with a warm soapy soft cloth. Work carefully to ensure that water does not spill onto the rollers and dry immediately. Clean rollers by turning the handle and running a toothbrush back and forth across each roller. Store your pasta machine in a dry place.

PASTA DOUGH 1 2/3 c. unbleached 400 mL all purpose flour 1 2/3 c. semolina or 400 mL durum flour 3 large eggs 8 egg yolks Combine flours and place in a mound on the countertop. Make a large well in the centre and add all eggs. With a fork or your fingers, break the yolks and gradually mix in the flour from the edges of the well until you have shaggy, soft dough. Decide if you need to add water to incorporate all the flour because it cannot be added after kneading has begun. Form dough into a ball and knead

until smooth and elastic. Cut into four pieces and flatten to rectangles that will fit in the pasta machine. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour to let the gluten relax. Begin rolling pasta on the widest setting on the machine. Roll once and fold in half and roll again. Now change the setting on the machine by one notch each time you pass the pasta through until you have reached the desired thickness. It is now ready to cut into strips with the machine or sheets by hand. Toss cut pasta with a small amount of flour to prevent the pieces from sticking together. Fresh pasta will keep one day in the refrigerator or can be frozen up to a month. Pasta can be dried by hanging over dowels or a chair back.

Grade 7 to 9 students in Alberta will have a significantly different wellness program next month. Alberta Milk has designed a “Power to Be Me” program based on a program used in Ontario to educate Grade 7 and 8 students about healthy eating. “We know that adolescents have a much poorer quality diet than younger children. We are aware of that and we wanted to do something,” said Lee Finell, a nutrition educator at Alberta Milk and the project lead for the program. “At the same time, we got a lot of requests from teachers at teacher conventions asking if we had anything for junior high. We couldn’t find anything that would meet the Alberta curriculum requirements and was engaging.” The program has different themes for each grade, and each grade lesson has four to five segments. The number of segments that are taught depends on the amount of classroom time the teachers are able to devote to it. The program will be taught as a part of health studies. Finell said one of the program’s goals is to make it easier to teach health. “We want to improve their eating habits and we want to do it in an engaging way,” said Finell. Grade 7 students will focus on their own eating habits. They will complete activities, watch videos and participate in an online food journal. Students will be able to assess their eating habits and then find ways to improve them. Grade 8 students are taught specific strategies to deal with roadblocks to healthy eating. They are also able to give advice to their friends on how to

deal with roadblocks. Grade 9 lessons focus on nutrients and nutrient rich food choices. They will learn how to strengthen their own healthy food choices and how to influence others. The field tests have convinced Finell that the program will be a success. It is free for teachers to download on www.moreaboutmilk.com under “Teacher Programs.” “ It ’s g o i n g t o b r i d g e t h e g a p between the new (high school) curriculum. I think it will be around for a long time.”

HEALTH FACTS • Five percent of Canadians aged 12-17, roughly 102,000 young people, reported height and weight that classified them as obese last year. • The percentage of those who were overweight was 15.7 percent, or roughly 320,000 young people. • Combined, approximately 20 percent of 12 to 17 year olds was overweight or obese last year. • The proportion of young people with excess weight, either obese or overweight, has remained stable since 2008. However, it is a significant increase from 18.7 percent in 2007. • Having excess weight did not affect the reported physical activity of youths in 2013. • Of the 12 to 17 year olds who were overweight or obese, 70.9 percent reported being physically active or moderately active in leisure time. This was not significantly different from the 75 percent who were not overweight or obese. • “Moderately active” would be equivalent to walking at least 30 minutes a day or taking an hourlong exercise class at least three times a week.

Farmers hope to pass on lifestyle

Farm welcomes international ag students

Good years and bad | Despite economic ups and downs, the Podhorodeskis enjoy farm life

BY TARYN RIEMER BY TARYN RIEMER

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SHIPMAN, Sask. — Edwin Podhorodeski jokes that he farms because he doesn’t know any better. “Farming has been good to us. It has provided us a living, a good living, and we were able to raise a family and have a good lifestyle,” he said. Edwin farms with his wife, Barbara, and parents, Ed and Mary, near Shipman, Sask., where the family grows 3,000 acres of canola, wheat and oats and produces 150 acres of hay. Ed and Mary spend part of their summers residing on the farm that Ed began farming in the 1950s. Edwin, who met Barbara at the University of Saskatchewan, always planned to farm but Barbara modified her plans. “It’s just the way it worked out. I went to school thinking I would go out into the (agriculture) industry and I started for a while, but things changed,” Barbara said. The Podhorodeskis were married 26 years ago and have two sons, Chevlin, 21, and Chase, 19. Chevlin is an electrician in Prince Albert and Chase is studying engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Both help their parents farm. The family also received help from agriculture students from France this summer and farm worker Earl Onyskevitch year round. They had cattle until three years ago, but downsized to only five cows to maintain the yard and pasture. The Podhorodeskis keep abreast of the latest practices and trends by attending crop shows and taking classes. They direct seed their crop with a variable rate application and work with a crop consultant who maps their fields so they have the right amount of nitrogen where it’s needed. The family practises zero till and straight cut combining at harvest time. They load their cereals onto grain cars in the Choiceland-Nipawin area, with their canola shipped to Bunge in Nipawin. This crop year is going better for the Podhorodeskis than last year. “We don’t know what average is,” said Edwin.

S H I P M A N, Sa s k . — A n s e l m e Guerin, a student at LaSalle Beauvais Institut Polytechnique in France, is one of two French workers on Barbara and Edwin Podhorodeski’s farm this summer. In the second year of a five-year master’s program, students must travel to a farm in an English speaking country to farm and learn the language. “So I chose Canada because it’s just biggest farm, bigger machine, everything is bigger,” said Guerin. The Podhorodeskis have hosted 14 students from France over the years. Guerin hopes to take over his family’s farm one day, but first wants to work in the dairy industry. Louis Thomassin, who recently completed the same program as Guerin, also wants to run his family’s farm. “I quit my job in November. I used to work for a big website for used farm equipment in France and I got enough. So I came back on the farm and my dad said it’s too soon to be back so take a one year break,” he said. Thomassin said the biggest difference between France and Canada is the climate. France’s milder winter allows farmers to seed in September and October and and harvest in July.

“We’ve forgotten now,” added Barbara. The Podhorodeskis have faced both the good and bad in agriculture. “(In) 2009, we took all our canola off in November and we put everything through a dryer and we had to combine just about everything at night because there was just a little bit of snow so you’d have to do it when it was below -5 or something like that,” said Edwin. Farming has introduced the Podhorodeskis to the world. They were in Australia for five and a half months in 1989–90, met the biggest importer of oats in Mexico, visited Chile to see their winter nurseries and travelled to France

for a student’s wedding and stayed in students’ homes. “We milked cows in France. Barbara milked more cows than I did. I was the one with the pitchfork cleaning the manure up. But for us we enjoyed that, it was a working holiday,” said Edwin. Off farm, Barbara is a board member with the Saskatchewan Oat

Development Commission and Conservation Learning Centre. Edwin hopes to retire at age 60 and will increase the farm’s acreage, if the children return. “Every farmers dream is to have their son farm … but they have to make their own decision … farming it’s a business but it’s really a lifestyle,” said Edwin.

Scare tactics ineffective when promoting farm safety Farmer awareness | Cost, not threat of accidents, important, says official BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

OTTAWA — Emotion can change behaviour, a broadcaster recently told those involved with farm safety. Terry O’Reilly, author and host of CBC’s Under the Influence, spoke about effective ways to communicate safety messages to the farm community during the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association’s annual conference held in Ottawa Oct. 7-9. “People have to feel the message before they will act on it,” he said. “Make the farmer feel your message, emotion can overcome resistance,” he said, noting the high number of farmers who don’t have a written safety plan on their farms. He said messages have to stand apart from the proliferation of advertising in today’s mass media and must tell a story. “Stories make people feel something,” said O’Reilly. “A great story is not just information. A good story is aimed at not the head, but the heart.” Messages also have to be presented at opportune times in an unexpected way to get people’s attention. He cited a radio ad for organ donations as an example. The ad asks people to turn to their loved ones during the few seconds of dead air to tell them if they want to donate their

organs after they die. “It’s a simple emotional message at the right time, right place with the right trigger to persuade them to act,” said O’Reilly. “People respond with interest when something is interesting.” Henry Vissers, executive director of the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture, called farm safety messages depicting serious accidents a turnoff. “They can’t relate it to their own situation, they haven’t had that accident and try to push it aside and not think about it,” he said. Vissers said the goal is not to frighten but to draw attention to the cost of farm accidents to the farm operation.

Ian Pike, director of The Community Against Preventable Injuries, detailed his work with groups and businesses focused on raising awareness about safety and changing people’s behaviour in British Columbia. “People know how to be safe, they don’t need to be lectured, they just need to be reminded,” he said. Studies showed a 10 percent shift in behaviour in its first three years of the Preventable program, which was launched in 2006. They also found a 50 percent recognition rate for the safety message: “have a word with yourself.” Significant changes in behaviour were reported among ages 25 to 35 and a smaller number among those younger than 25. The campaign, which includes social media, internet and primetime advertising, depicts situations involving a distracted driver or relates how no one wakes up expecting to drown that day. Pike said the message is to take a breath and have a word with yourself. He said agricultural applications could start with, “you’re probably not expecting to roll over today,” “if you think getting pinned or entangled only happens to others” or “if you think it’s safe for kids to play in a farmyard,” and then end with, “have a word with yourself.”

COMMODITIES | ACQUISITION

ADM expands into ingredient sector Second health ingredient supplier in three months CHICAGO (Reuters) — Archer Daniels Midland plans to buy Specialty Commodities Inc. for US$170 million in its second deal for a healthfocused ingredient supplier in three months. Specialty Commodities of Fargo, North Dakota, which is majority owned by private equity firm Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison, buys natural and organic ingredients. The company then distributes ingredients to customers that make snacks, cereal, pet food and

other products. ADM recently completed a C$3.3 billion deal for Swiss-German natural ingredient company Wild Flavors. It said the acquisitions would help reduce the volatility of its earnings, which have traditionally been linked to the booms and busts of crop production. ADM said it expected the Specialty Commodities deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, to close in the coming weeks.

WILDLIFE | MANAGEMENT

Timely action needed to catch poachers in the act OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

A

s a hunter and outdoor enthusiast, I have a negative opinion of poachers. I can only imagine the level of frustration experienced by producers who must regularly contend with land trespassers. They have my sincere sympathy. It is awkward that many hunting seasons coincide with harvest. Farmers are busy harvesting for long hours and ranchers are tending their livestock. No one has the time to deal with criminals on their land. Unfortunately, law enforcement is spread thin over large geographic areas, and the perpetrators are often gone by the time a crime is reported and an officer is able to respond. Friends of mine live on an acreage near MacDowall, Sask., and poachers recently dumped the carcass of a young moose on their land. The moose was killed illegally, field dressed and its untagged remains dumped. Sadly, this is a fairly common story when it comes to honest landowners versus senseless poachers. The situation raises the question of

Trail cameras, if properly concealed, can also work to capture incriminating photos of poachers, as well as images of wildlife. | KIM QUINTIN PHOTO what is the best course of action for acreage owners and producers to take when it comes to criminals on their land. Anger in the moment can lead someone to take the wrong course of action, which could lead to an even worse state of affairs. Fences and signs keep out only the honest crooks. Such things will not

deter a dedicated poacher. However, clearly posted signs and possibly fences seem to be important in building a legal case against the offenders. When you see someone trespassing or poaching on your land, try to avoid the natural urge to confront them. Your best weapon in today’s world is gather-

ing clear evidence and immediately providing it to law enforcement. A camera is your best friend, if you or your loved ones are not being directly threatened. From a safe distance, record or photograph the group of offenders, their faces, any vehicles involved and licence plates. A camera with a long

lens keeps you at an even safer distance. Avoid confrontation. Do not stick around any longer than needed to take enough incriminating photographs to clearly illustrate to a neutral party what was happening. A hunting trail camera is another type of camera you may want to consider owning. Conceal them in areas that you suspect are hot spots for trouble. They make perfect silent witnesses as they monitor the area day and night. Trail cameras can record thousands of photographs and run for months on inexpensive batteries. Just make sure they are well concealed from trespassers. Poaching and trespassing have been problems around the world for a long time, but it is not an issue we can simply ignore. Honest folks must safely keep up the pressure on these criminals. Try to leave confronting the criminals to law enforcement, but let’s do our part in providing our officers with all the right information so that their chances of success are much better.

ANIMAL WELFARE | PIG HANDLING

Hog facility uses undercover video as training tool Assembly yard official says it will help improve performance standards BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An undercover video capturing poor treatment of pigs at a Red Deer assembly yard will be used as an employee training tool, says the chair of Western Hog Exchange. Brent Moen said staff and employees would go through the video frame by frame to help learn how to better handle hogs at the assembly yard. “We’ve asked every one of our employees to watch the video,” he said. Animal activist group Mercy for Animals recorded the video over a nine-week period while a member was working at the assembly yard. Parts of the video were given to the television program W5 and aired mid-October. “We have requested a full version. We don’t know what happened leading up to the violations, or after,” said Moen. “Every one of our staff are really sick about this. There is a high level of remorse.” One employee has been fired and two others suspended since Western Hog Exchange officials first watched the video in September. “We’re using this as an opportunity to improve our delivery and performance standards.” Moen said the farmer-owned marketing agency has clear animal standards for handling livestock. Abuse is not tolerated. It has hired two outside consultants since learning about the video to audit the facility and training manuals and recommend improvements. “We have a zero tolerance limit for abuse,” said Moen. “We’re watching an awfully lot closer than we were doing before.” About 40,000 hogs a week arrive at t h e a s s e m b l y y a rd s, s o m e f o r slaughter at the Red Deer facility. The older sows and boars are reassembled and shipped to Manitoba, a 12-hour truck ride. There they are offloaded, reassembled and trucked to slaughter plants in the United States. Western Canada has no cull sow slaughter plants. He said it’s not just staff at the assembly yards who need to shoulder the blame for the mistreatment of pigs shown in the video. Farmers and truck drivers also need to accept responsibility. In the video, workers were shown hitting a downed sow in an effort to move the animal. Moen said farmers must evaluate if cull animals are in good enough shape to be shipped. “The farmer must understand and evaluate the animal and say, ‘is this animal in good enough shape to go?’ ” He said he cringed when he saw the poor shape of the sow trying to be moved during the video. “Why the hell was that thing shipped?” Truck drivers also have the authority to refuse to haul animals they believe are in poor condition and shouldn’t be going to market. “Everyone in the chain has to take responsibility.” The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said verifying that the industry treats animals humanely during

transport and slaughter is a responsibility it takes seriously. The agency had inspectors at the assembly yard. “Animal abuse is unacceptable, and we do not tolerate it under any circumstances,” it said. CFIA said it was unable to view the entire video footage to help carry out a detailed investigation. “Regardless, we promptly launched an internal review by a team of experts to determine if federal rules were broken and if suitable inspection actions were taken,” it said.

“The review team will provide its findings to senior officials and appropriate actions will be taken.” Alberta Farm Animal Care said it supports the actions of the Western Hog Exchange and the CFIA to address the problems identified in the televised video footage. “AFAC believes all animals should be treated with respect and compassion according to responsible and humane animal care practices throughout their lifetimes,” Dr. Angela Greer, acting executive director of AFAC, said in a news release.

Federal court upholds rejection of CWB lawsuit Smaller suit still possible | Group says it will continue legal action against the Canadian government BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers attempting to sue Ottawa for $17 billion over the dismantling of the single desk C WB are again exploring options following a Federal Court of Appeal ruling. The Oct. 15 ruling upheld a previous court decision that rejected most claims contained in a $17 billion c l a s s a c t i o n s u i t t hat f a r m e r s launched against the federal government and CWB. The suit was launched in 2012 by

four prairie grain growers and is supported by Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board (FCWB). Stewart Wells, a spokesperson for the claimants, said the fight is not over, despite the most recent ruling. He said the plaintiffs have two remaining options: seek to have their arguments heard by the Supreme Court of Canada or proceed with a reduced class action claim worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The plaintiffs are expected to make a decision within the next week or two, Wells said.

Those monies were withheld to cover severance pay, pension expenses and numerous other expenses. Those (monies) were not paid out to producers as they should have been. ANDRES BRUUN, LAWYER

The suit claims that Ottawa’s decision to end CWB’s single desk marketing monopoly will cost prairie producers $17 billion in lost revenue and confiscated CWB assets.

That claim was partly based on the value of CWB property, including ships, hopper cars and a Winnipeg office building, which were transferred from the farmer-directed

wheat board to the new post-monopoly CWB as of Aug. 1, 2012. Also included in the claim were hundred of millions of dollars worth of pool revenues which, according to plaintiffs, should have been paid to farmers but were instead retained by the CWB to bolster an internal contingency fund and cover costs such as employee severance packages, pension liabilities and other transition-related expenses. In a court judgment last December, federal judge Daniele Tremblay-Lamer rejected most of the farmer claims relating to confiscated property, suggesting federal legislation that ended CWB’s single desk “(did) not divest the plaintiffs of property nor (did) it divest the CWB of its property since the CWB is continued and it continues to own the contingency fund along with its other assets.” However, Tremblay Lamar also ruled that a reduced class action suit should be allowed, saying the government and CWB may have deprived prairie farmers of some pool payouts during the 2011-12 crop year and may not have established “a reasonable price for grain remaining unsold after the 2011-12 pool period.” The plaintiffs initiated an appeal of Tremblay Lamar’s decision early this year. It was that appeal that was rejected in the Oct. 15 decision from Ottawa. A secondary appeal was also dismissed. It was launched by the federal government and sought to have all claims against the federal government and CWB dismissed. Andres Bruun, a Winnipeg lawyer, said his clients must now decide to proceed with a reduced claim or attempt to have their arguments heard by the Supreme Court. “We have a very clear green light to proceed with the class action in respect to monies that were improperly withheld from farmers in the 2011-12 crop year,” Bruun said. “Those monies were withheld to cover severance pay, pension expenses and numerous other expenses. Those (monies) were not paid out to producers as they should have been.” A reduced claim by class action participants would include $125 million that was directed from pool accounts into the CWB contingency fund during the 2011-12 crop year. Bruun said a reduced claim would likely be valued in the “low hundreds of millions of dollars.” He added that the exact value of a reduced claim could be difficult to establish, given that the CWB’s financial results have not made public since July 31, 2012. Sources in the grain industry have said the CWB privatization process is underway and that a short list of potential buyers or corporate partners is likely to be established before the end of the year. It is widely believed CWB is seeking to partner with a corporate investor to provide a pool of investment capital. Outstanding legal claims against the CWB could hinder that process or at least emerge as a fly in the ointment. CWB has declined to comment.

Commodity prices to squeeze bottom lines Lower margins | U.S. banker expects falling prices will put some less efficient farmers out of business BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — A senior U.S. banker expects significant turnover in the farm community as plummeting grain prices squeeze out inefficient producers. “I think there’s going to be a lot more stress sooner than people think because I think cash flows are going to be very, very poor when we start liquidating this crop,” said Michael Swanson, senior vice-president of Wells Fargo Bank. Falling grain prices will lead to belttightening and force some growers to leave the industry, he told delegates attending the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. He believes the grain industry is entering a phase in which operators with aggressive expansion plans will fail, as will those who have been lax in monitoring the expense side of the ledger. The top 20 percent of farmers in southern Minnesota produce a bushel of corn on rented land at a cost of $4.25 per bu. The bottom 20 percent spend $7.25 per bu. of production. That $3 per bu. difference in the cost of production will determine who keeps farming and who doesn’t. The inefficient growers will get “knocked out,” said Swanson. “We’re going to see a lot of turnover, and it’s because there is such an inequality of ability within the farming community,” he said. The mentality of the farm community next year will switch to apprehension from euphoria as farmers are confronted by the reality of $3 corn and $9 soybeans. “For the last several years it has been very easy to be in this space because rising grain prices typically made it easy to grow your top line,” said Swanson. High prices hid the blemishes of farm operations where costs have spiraled out of control. “Top lines are going to fall for many producers and many input suppliers, and suddenly they’re going to have to execute like any normal business does,” he said. Swanson believes farm subsidies

will make matters worse. “(Policymakers) try to have a onesize-fits-all policy, which only exasperates the situation because good guys collect that much more money

and go back after the bad operators yet again,” said Swanson. Agribusinesses will also struggle in the low-price environment, but the impact will vary by industry.

Equipment dealers are in trouble because many growers overbought during the good times and will be able to coast for a while without replacing machinery.

OILSEED & GRAIN TRADE SUMMIT | GM TRAITS

GM crop regulations a food security hurdle, says executive Approval times | DuPont executive says a challenging regulatory environment is hurting subsistence farmers BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

NEW ORLEANS, La. — Genetically modified crop approval should be fast-tracked the same way as Ebola drugs, says a seed company executive.

“Bringing food to a starving person is every bit as important as bringing medicine to the sick,” James Borel, executive vice-president of DuPont, told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. “I want to suggest today that we need to think in the same way about

the urgent need to feed the world.” It takes an average of 13 years and $130 million to bring a new yieldboosting trait such as drought tolerance or nitrogen use efficiency to market. One-third of the time and cost is the result of regulatory review.

“It is taking longer to bring new and better food to the market, just the opposite of what we should be experiencing as a world that is committed to ending hunger,” Borel said. As many as five government entities in the same country may review

O-66-09/14-10238268-E

the same data before approving a new GM trait. Approval times in the United States have increased to three years from two, while those in Brazil have shrunk to one year from two. The European Union’s approval process is bogged down by politics, while China refuses to even look at a new trait until it is fully approved in the country where it is being developed, which leads to lengthy delays in commercialization. Borel said it is imperative that the approval process for GM traits be streamlined and shortened if the world is serious about eradicating hunger. An estimated 600 million of the world’s 850 million chronically malnourished people are subsistence farmers. Getting the latest agricultural technology into their hands will boost yields and incomes and allow them to better feed themselves. Borel said there has been progress in feeding the world’s poor. “It’s a war we’re winning,” he said. “The number of people who are chronically malnourished is going down. It declined about three percent last year alone.” The number has dropped 17 percent since 1990, which represents tens of millions of previously hungry people who are now routinely being fed. “Notwithstanding such progress though, global food insecurity remains a significant challenge,” said Borel. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that the world produces enough food to provide every human with 2,700 calories per day. By some estimates, farmers are producing enough food to provide twice the minimum nutritional needs of the world’s population. Yet hundreds of millions of people are still malnourished. A number of factors hamper food security progress, including food price inflation, political instability, food waste and difficulties transferring new technology to low income farmers. In addition to removing trade barriers to innovation, Borel would like to see governments eliminate barriers to food trade. Eighty-five percent of the world’s food never crosses an international border. “Food is largely local and it should be,” he said. However, the reality is that some parts of the world have a huge populations and little arable land, while others are sparsely populated with huge tracts of fertile farmland. It’s why food trade will always be important. The need for trade will continue to increase as the world becomes richer and more urbanized. However, countries such as India, which is a food deficit nation, has some of the highest tariffs in the world. “There may be nowhere in the world where local farming faces more significant challenges,” said Borel. India’s population is expected to reach 1.7 billion by mid-century, surpassing China to become the world’s most populated country. “Removing barriers to global trade is essential to food security,” he said. Borel said food should be exempted from import and export controls. It should have the same status as water in the Geneva Conventions, he added.

$7.9 billion project | It now goes to B.C. government with 80 conditions, including compensation for farmland Fort St. John

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

B.C. Hydro’s proposed hydroelectric dam on the Peace River cleared a major environmental hurdle Oct. 14, but the Site C project is not a done deal. Federal and provincial governments granted the $7.9 billion project environmental certificates along with a list of 80 conditions that must be met before the project can go ahead. It’s now up to the British Columbia government to decide if it should go ahead with the dam that would pro-

duce 1,100 megawatts of energy a year, enough to power about 450,000 homes. A decision is expected in November or December. During a news conference, B.C.’s environment minister Mary Polak said the province believes the benefits of building the third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River in northern B.C. outweigh the environmental risks. The same day, federal environment minister Leona Aglukkaq issued a news release expressing similar views. A joint review panel report released earlier in the year said the 83 kilo-

metre reservoir behind the dam would significantly impact fish, plants and farmland. If built, the dam would flood 107 km of the Peace River and its tributaries. It will affect 32,000 acres of agricultural land, including rich river bottom land. Ken Boon, who lives along the Peace River, south of Fort St. John, where the dam is proposed, said he is confident the dam will not proceed. The initial cost of the dam and the cost of fulfilling the 80 conditions will give the provincial government pause. He believes the project has little economic benefit. “Every one of those conditions

costs money.” Some of the conditions include establishing a $20 million fund to compensate for lost agricultural land, developing a wetland mitigation and compensation plan, developing an aboriginal business participation strategy and using construction methods that would mitigate adverse effects on wildlife and the habitat. Boon said money would be better spent developing smaller projects across the province where the electricity is needed, not ruining a river valley for questionable energy requirements.

“It puts the responsibility on the government. If they decided to go ahead and things go sideways, it’s going to be their problem,” said Boon. “I don’t believe they have a social licence to move forward.” It’s not the first time the Site C dam project has been proposed. The B.C. Utilities Commission turned down the project in the 1980s. Even if the project is approved, it will likely be tied up in court because of opposition from First Nations communities, which are opposed to the project.

Canadian cattle producers have received immediate access to export markets in Qatar and Honduras for beef and live animals. The federal government announced Oct. 15 that Qatar has approved all Canadian beef imports and Honduras has ended border restr ictions imposed in 2003 when BSE was first found in Canada. The latter is a result of the CanadaHonduras Free Trade Agreement. A government news release said the Qatari market value could reach $2 million annually in beef sales. The Persian Gulf country is one of the world’s wealthiest. In Honduras, Canada has increased its trade by 10 percent since 2007, according to government figures, and in 2013 Canada exported goods worth $578 million. About $88 million of that was in agricultural goods. The federal government says the two deals are expected to create jobs and increase prosperity in Canada. Canadian Meat Council president Henry Mizrahi said in a news release that Qatar in particular is an attractive market. “Not only does Qatar have one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, Qatar imports more than 90 percent of its food requirements,” he said. “The Canadian meat industry appreciates and welcomes the successful negotiation of full beef access to the Qatari market.” Michael Latimer of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council said Honduras represents another market for cattle and genetics “and an additional avenue to demonstrate the safety and superior quality of Canadian cattle genetics to the world.”

App makes beef easy to select, handle, cook Roundup provides know-how | App helps consumers choose cuts and provides recipes BY TARYN RIEMER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new mobile app from Canada Beef allows consumers to search recipes, choose cuts and learn food safety tips. The Roundup was launched internally and with select partners last month, while a hard launch, with news releases, is set for November or December. Joyce Parslow, director of consumer marketing with Canada Beef, said the organization created the app because consumers are getting busier and their cooking skills have declined. She said it will allow consumers to choose cuts of meat and learn how to cook them, all from the convenience of their phone. The app offers nine options for the user: beef cuts, cooking methods, recipes, beef buying tips, nutrition and health, safe food handling, about Canada Beef, shout outs, and favourites. The beef cuts section includes a diagram of a cow with the primal sec-

tion of the animal identified. Users can click on a section and see what kinds of cuts come from that section. From there they can find cooking instructions for that cut, along with recipes and tips. Parslow said Canada Beef wanted to make the app mobile friendly so consumers could have something to refer to at the meat counter. “That’s why we organize things by cooking category, so that they won’t just walk away from the meat counter and say, ‘oh well, I couldn’t find my top sirloin, so I guess I won’t buy anything,’ ” said Parslow. The app shows the consumers cuts that can be interchangeable. It also helps consumers perfect their cooking techniques. “So once you’ve learned how to do a grilling steak, you don’t really need a recipe, you got the technique now that makes you the champion of how to cook that cut, so you can just do it again and again,” said Parslow.

The soybean harvest is underway with good yields and moisture reported. Corn is not ready for harvest because of high moisture levels. Alfalfa seed harvest is ongoing. Some fields in the north have to wait for the frost to settle into the soil to continue harvest. Pasture conditions are fair. Some producers have to supplement feed their livestock.

SASKATCHEWAN Warm, dry weather helped producers make significant harvest progress. About 90 percent of the crop is combined. Eight percent is swathed or ready to be straight-cut. Harvest is furthest advanced in the northern region, where about 95 percent of the crop is combined. Many producers have finished harvest operations, while others need at least another week of warmer weather. About 95 percent of lentils, 95 percent of mustard, 92 percent of canola, 90 percent of durum and barley and 90 percent of spring wheat have been combined.

Designation could open market for honey producer Kosher certification | Manitoba honey producer hopes to work with Winnipeg’s Jewish community BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Honey producer John Russell plans to take on the costs required to have his operation kosher certified. | BADIUK PHOTO

HELEN

John Russell sometimes gets phone calls from customers who have tried his honey. Some ask if it is pasteurized, which it is. Others ask if it is kosher, which it is not. “It’s become evident that there was opportunity there,” said the honey producer who farms near Selkirk, Man. Russell was then contacted by the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, which put up an informational display for the High Holidays and was looking for honey, apples and other traditional Jewish New Year food. “They asked us if we’d ever considered going kosher,” said Russell. “And I said, ‘I guess it’s something we could consider’.… This was two years ago. We actually talked to a rabbi, great guy, but unfortunately, it kind of fell off the rails due to a couple of things.” However, Russell received another call from the federation this year, asking if he had received kosher certification. “We were happy to participate in their display,” said Russell. “They are such nice people, but we still weren’t kosher certified.” It was too late for Russell to get it done for this holiday season, but he said it is definitely on his to-do list. “Come January, we’re going to get this done so we have all our ducks in

a row for next year,” said Russell. “Next season, we’ll be able to introduce ourselves to a whole other great group of people who can enjoy our honey.” Russell does not expect to have to change most of his practices. “Getting your kosher certification is a lot simpler than if you owned a bakery or had a restaurant, where you had a multitude of food and had to make sure you had separate equipment and sinks and preparation stations,” he said. “Honestly, I think there is very little excuse for us not to do this. I was embarrassed this fall that I dropped the ball and missed the boat … not able to provide a kosher product for the Jewish community in Winnipeg and Manitoba.” He expects no change in prices if certification costs, only a few hundred dollars. “That’s just the cost of doing business,” he said. “But if the cost goes into the five or 10 thousand dollars, well, of course, I’ll have to turn around and incorporate that into my operation, overhead, so prices will have to adjust accordingly. “As a businessman, I think it’s always worth the time and effort to take a look at new market potential. That being said, you have to figure out the costs and the amount of effort you have to put in with it and determine if it’s worth it.”

Producer plans ‘controlled growth’ BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

John Russell can remember his grandfather eating honey that he harvested himself on his farm. “In my grandfather’s era, it was always assumed if you wanted milk, you had a cow,” said Russell. “If you wanted eggs, you had chickens, and if you wanted honey, you had bees.” That was Russell’s first exposure to bee rearing. “I was always really fascinated, because as a child, you’ve got this little honey-producing box, which is fabulous,” he said. “Then, you’ve got the whole dangerous element of getting stung, which was sort of exhilarating and fascinating.” Russell started beekeeping as a hobby 15 to 20 years ago and eventually started attending craft sales and farmers markets. “Then I was contacted by my mentor, Charles Polcyn, who introduced me to getting certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency,” said Russell.

“Once I got my proper packing permit, I set up an inspected place to start selling it retail on shelves.” “Controlled growth” has always been Russell’s underlying mantra. Everything he makes is hand jarred, capped and labelled. “We do it in small batches, especially with our specialty and flavoured honeys, and my name is on this label, so it has to be quality,” said Russell. He began by packing 400 pounds the first year. Today, he does much more. Growth has been by word of mouth, with no paid advertising implemented. “I’ve got customers I’ve been providing honey to forever,” said Russell. “I still do some home deliveries to people I’ve known for over a decade. “People are always suggesting new ideas or flavours. You get constant feedback — positive and negative — and it helps you fine tune your business practices. I really enjoy that interaction. My customers are some of the best people I’ve ever met. There’s personal satisfaction in being able to serve them.”

PULSES | DISEASE

New pea root rot found in Alberta Aphanomyces euteiches | Disease first found in Sask. BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Seven Alberta pea fields in five counties have been confirmed as reluctant hosts of a pea root rot that is new to the province. Caused by a pathogen called aphanomyces euteiches, the root rot is highly virulent and often occurs in conjunction with other infections. Agriculture Canada plant pathologist Syama Chatterton said she and her team surveyed 150 fields last year and another 170 this year, primarily looking for fusarium infection in pea fields. However, they also found A. euteiches in the counties of Vulcan, Forty Mile, Warner, Wheatland and Newell. It is the first confirmation of the pathogen’s presence in Alberta. It was first confirmed in some Saskatchewan fields in 2012. “Based on the fact that they had already found it in Saskatchewan, we weren’t surprised, and because of this excess moisture in the soil, because aphanomyces is a pathogen that’s highly dependent on water, that’s why it was never considered to be an issue … because of our drier climate,” said Chatterton. Recent wet years have apparently allowed the pathogen to gain a foothold. It also tends to occur along with fusarium, which makes it a challenge for researchers to isolate. “The problem is that it always seems to occur in conjunction with some of these fusarium species, so trying to tease apart which one is the major pathogen or which one might be causing the initial infection is something that we’re still working at,” Chatterton said. “The hypothesis right now is that it’s probably aphanomyces that is coming in and causing the disease first because it is specialized on peas. Then after that you have fusarium coming in that is a little more of a broad-spectrum generalist pathogen. The two combined is probably where we’re seeing a lot of the damage coming from.” Infection is characterized by caramel-coloured brown roots on the pea plant. However, its effects are difficult to distinguish from fusarium. BDS Laboratories and Discovery Seed Labs in Saskatchewan and 20/20 Seed Labs in Alberta and Winnipeg are able to conduct the needed diagnostic tests. Aphanomyces is soil-borne, so it spreads only with movement of infected soil. Cleaning equipment before moving it from fields known to be infected is the best control strategy. Fields known to host aphanomyces should not be planted to peas for five or six years, said Chatterton. Seed treatments are not effective against the disease, which can also affect lentils, dry beans and alfalfa. Some fababeans and chickpeas seem to have resistance, Chatterton said. Researchers only recently began looking for the pathogen, so it isn’t known how long it has been present in southern Alberta.

Chatterton said research in the United States has identified resistant germplasm, which will likely be available in Canada in coming years. The other good news is that surveys show most Alberta pea fields are healthy. The Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund and Alberta Pulse Growers fund Chatterton’s work on the pea root rot.

HONEY | PROCESSING

P.E.I. business puts honey in unexpected places Island Abbey Foods | Dehydrated honey maker produces sugar cubes, lozenges and chewable candy BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — A Prince Edward Island honey business keeps gets sweeter with time. Island Abbey Foods, which invented a way to dehydrate honey, recently added a pure honey lozenge to its list of honey products. As well, it will soon add a honey gummy, which is a way to sneak vitamins into a chewable candy. “It’s a delivery mechanism for vitamins, minerals, supplements and other natural health products out there,” said company president John Rowe. Island Abbey Foods has caught the eye of honey lovers around the world since launching its Honibe line of dehydrated pure honey products in 2008. The company owns the worldwide patent to dehydrate honey in a 100 percent pure form. “After many years of research, we have created the world’s first method of putting honey in a solid form without putting anything in it. It sounds simple, but it actually took many, many years of research,” Rowe told a recent Canadian Farm Writers Federation conference. “We’re the first in the world to do this.” He said other honey products on

the market are made with sugar and honey flavouring. Rowe’s business idea began during a hiking trip in British Columbia in 1996, when he opened his backpack to discover his jar of liquid honey had broken and created a sticky mess through his clothes and pack. “All weekend I thought there has got to be a better way to carry honey around,” he said. His first product was the Honey Drop, a solid cube of honey for coffee or tea as a replacement for sugar. The product line has continued to expand and now includes pure honey sugar cubes, granular honey, honey candies, honey lozenges and soon honey gummies. This sixth generation islander, who is descended from a long line of farmers and fishermen, said he was encouraged to test his entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. At 11, his father encouraged him to pick strawberries at the neighbours and resell them. The next year he hired his friends to pick the strawberries and he sold the berries at the booth. “I learned young about the importance of a team,” he said. In 2011, Rowe won over the panelists on CBC’s Dragon’s Den and convinced them to invest $1 million for 20 percent of the company. The equity

partners helped Island Abbey Farms place its products in 600 retail stores. Production doubled each year for the next three years because of the exposure on the program. The investment also allowed the company to expand across Canada and grow to 25 countries from five. “It was the right time to do so.” The product also won best new food product at SIAL, the largest food show in the world. “We have gone from the basement to the Oscars of the food world in a short time.” Astronaut Chris Hadfield also took

the company’s honey products to the International Space Station. Rowe said he has received many requests from people wanting to know the secret behind his patented technology to turn sticky into a solid. However, he said he has no intention of giving away his competitive advantage. “Our goal is to work with companies worldwide but capture the manufacture here on the island,” he said. The company has grown from five to 35 employees , which is expected to double shortly. “Our mission is to support our economy. We intend to grow here.” Rowe has been able to keep his process a secret because the equipment was built and designed specifically for his processing plants. “We have been able to stave off competition. No one has been able to knock us off because some key elements of how we make what we make are not disclosed,” he said. “We’ve had to create from scratch all the equipment we use.” The honey giant Burts Bees now has a 30 percent honey lozenge, and Rowe expects others to keep trying to duplicate the process. “They’re seeing what we’re doing and nipping at our heels. Fortunately, no one has been able to completely knock us off and I am hoping that

will last a little while longer.” The market for his product seems to have no end. Consumers in Canada and the United States eat 1.25 pounds of honey per capita. In Germany, it increases to almost 10 lb. of honey a year. Tea is the most consumed drink in the world, and 30 percent of the 165 million cups of tea drunk each day in the United Kingdom is sweetened with some form of sweetener. Rowe believes his product could grab part of that market. “Honey is the dominant natural sweetener.” Americans use 19 billion lozenges a year, and Rowe believes there is even more potential for growth if Island Abbey Food can grab some of the market with its all-natural honey lozenge. “We sensed there was room to grow,” said Rowe, whose products are on pharmacy and grocery store shelves. The company has learned over the years that honey is a good carrier of flavours, which helped it add natural health ingredients, vitamins, minerals and pharmaceuticals to the lozenges. It buys 250,000 gallons of honey a year from across Canada, which is about the equivalent of the amount of honey produced in P.E.I.

U.S. rail regulator will require operators to report service data (Reuters) — The top U.S. rail regulator has ruled that all Class 1 railroads operating in the United States must provide detailed weekly freight service reports. The Oct. 8 decision cited the months of congestion that has hit the grain and power industries particularly hard. Carriers must submit detailed data on average train speeds, dwell times and other service measurements on a temporary basis beginning Oct. 22, the Surface Transportation Board said. They must also jointly submit a narrative summary of operating conditions at the Chicago gateway, a busy rail hub that is a choke point in the national network. The ruling was a victory for the U.S. agriculture and power industries, which have argued for more transparency from rail carriers about the

products they carry on their networks. Some have accused railroads of prioritizing crude shipments from shale oil fields in North Dakota over grain and coal, a charge the carriers deny. “Today, the STB is taking needed action to hold the railroads accountable, require more transparency from the railroads on all products shipped on the rails and make sure all products, whether grain, oil, coal or anything else, are treated equally and fairly in how they are transported,” said senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. The STB ruling came after a public hearing last month and supersedes an earlier STB decision requiring only Canadian Pacific and BNSF, the top carriers in the congested northern Plains region, to report service details.

Record wheat yields in Britain LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Record wheat yields were recorded in Britain this year following a summer of near perfect growing conditions. The National Farmers Union said its annual harvest survey indicated a wheat yield of 3.5 tonnes per acre, the highest ever and 16 percent higher than the previous season. A crop of 16.67 million tonnes was

projected based on area estimates for England, Scotland and Wales by Britain’s farm ministry and the HomeGrown Cereals Authority. The crop estimate also assumes an unchanged area in Northern Ireland. It would be the largest wheat crop since 2008, when Britain harvested a record 17.2 million tonnes.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND | PRODUCTION

Small farms generate $500 million in receipts Largest industry | About 1,400 farms on P.E.I. are facing pressure from expansion as urban residents now outnumber rural BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

CHARLOTTETOWN — Agriculture is a big industry on this small island. Prince Edward Island has only 620,000 agricultural acres, compared to 60 million in Saskatchewan, but the industry is the largest contributor to the provincial economy. “Agriculture has played a vital role in our province’s identity and it continues to be our biggest industry,” said agriculture and forestry minister George Webster. However, it also faces the pressures of an increasingly urban population, rural dwellers with no agricultural connection and fewer farmers. John Jamieson, executive director of the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture, said 1,400 farms produce products as varied as potatoes, milk, beef and fruit, generating $500 million in farmgate receipts annually. There were about 9,500 farms in 1951.

might mean for cheese makers. About 40 percent of the province’s farms have beef. Its single federally inspected plant kills 500 head a week. “Our plant will buy every Holstein bull they can get their hands on because they like the lean hamburger that comes from that,” Jamieson said. “That’s a new opportunity just in the last year or so.” Other growth areas include organic production, mink farms and fruit. Fifty certified organic producers

operate in the province, and Jamieson said some conventional growers are adding organic components to take advantage of premiums. Wild, or low-bush, blueberries have seen tremendous growth in the last few years, increasing to 13,000 acres. Wild blueberries have always grown on the island, but people learned to enhance their growth by burning and mowing. The berries are harvested every second year, and this year’s harvest was the biggest ever at more than 20 million pounds.

“Part of the reason for that is the fields are getting older and as they age they yield better,” Jamieson said. Another reason is a rule change two years ago that allowed bee imports to assist pollination. Wyman’s of PEI, a processor in the eastern part of the province, expanded last year and now processes 25,000 lb. of fruit an hour. The crop was so large that Wyman’s had to place quotas on deliveries. Jamieson said one grower told him production of 200,000 lb. on a 30 acre

Like most places, the urban population now far outweighs the rural. Jamieson said 60 percent of the province’s 145,000 residents live in or near Charlottetown. As well, farms are getting larger. The potato industry is not the largest in acreage but accounts for about half of farmgate receipts. Jamieson said 200 farmers plant 89,000 acres to potatoes. The average potato farm is 300 acres, and it costs $2,500 to $3,000 to plant each acre. “Anyone even growing 300 acres needs to have a million dollars in the bank just to get things going, and then you cross your fingers and hope for the best,” Jamieson said. Farmers have had to work together to finance equipment and warehouses that cost millions of dollars. The costs have also pushed some out of the business; there used to be 1,200 potato growers. The hog sector has also taken a big hit: the number of farms has dropped in the last 15 years from 300 to about 20, which produce 70,000 hogs. Grain growers plant 111,000 acres and soybeans total 60,000 acres. “Soybeans have been ramping up substantially in the last 10 or 12 years,” said Webster. “We do ship some of the beans to Japan.” Fourteen percent of the non-genetically modified identity preserved soybeans are processed in eastern P.E.I. for the Japanese market, Jamieson said. A strong dairy sector of 180 herds generates $100 million in receipts annually. Jamieson said most of the milk is used to make cheese, and producers are worried about the new CanadaEurope trade agreement and what it

POTATOES | MARKET COMPETITION

Fresh market supplier challenged by processors Potato supply | Demand for potatoes from large processors has forced P.E.I.’s Mid-Isle Farms to contract acres REGINA BUREAU

ALBANY, P.E.I. — Cavernous storage buildings stood open earlier this month awaiting the millions of pounds of potatoes that Prince Edward Island farmers would soon deliver. Harvest usually happens in September, but a cold spring delayed seeding and pushed harvest to October. Staff at Mid-Isle Farms expect to receive and process 40 million pounds, said sales representative and spokesperson Josh Gill. “Three years ago we put 60 million lb. through here,” he said. “Last year, 45 million lb. We’ll be lucky to get 40 million through, probably.” Competition is strong, and hot dry summers the last couple of years have affected production. Processors use 60 percent of the crop, 30 percent goes to the fresh market and 10 percent is for seed. Gill said Mid-Isle might benefit from the closure of the McCain Foods french fry processing plant at the end of this month. The company announced in early August that it will close the facility at Borden-Carleton but leave its fresh pack plant in Summerside open. “It’s a terrible thing for the industry

as a whole, but for us it will probably help because we’ll gain some more supply,” Gill said. McCain contracted with 23 growers, but only eight exclusively supplied the company. Mid-Isle was formed in 1982 by seven growers in the region who saw the need for a potato wash and pack plant. The plant opened in April 1983 and has long-term storage for 32 million lb. Five of the seven families still grow potatoes and supply one-third of the plant’s raw product in a typical year, Gill said.

A potato missed by the harvester lies in the distinctive red dirt of Prince Edward Island. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO Mid-Isle potatoes are sold to Sobey’s in Atlantic Canada and Quebec, as well as customers in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other northeastern states. The company processes all varieties, but Gill said up to 80 percent are russets. It employs 10 people year-round and up to 40 at full production. Gill said the company traditionally has bought from smaller growers who didn’t have contracts with the bigger players, such as McCain and Cavendish Farms. However, the smaller growers are disappearing,

which makes the future uncertain. The larger growers are pushing for irrigation from deep water wells — a contentious issue itself — but the smaller growers can’t afford the equipment, he said. Some of these farmers have fields of five to 10 acres, and irrigation is just not possible, he added. Other farmers are working together to supply the volumes processors want. Gill said Mid-Isle could have trouble finding enough potatoes if these arrangements become too big. “Typically the fresh market has never ever contracted, and now we have to start doing that or we’re not

going to be in business,” he said. A run of 400,000 lb. is a big day at Mid-Isle, but at Cavendish it’s four million lb., he said. Gill also said it can be tough on growers when processors start pushing too much on the market. Last year, the company paid growers $11 per hundredweight for potatoes smaller than eight ounces and $15 per cwt. for potatoes larger than that. This year Gill has been offering $9 but said that is unrealistic when he hears what others are paying. “Quebec is selling tens (10 lb. bags) into the wholesale market right now at $1.20,” he said. “For me, freight to Quebec is 30 cents a 10 to Quebec, so that puts me 90 cents here, and for us to bag and pack them you need at least five cents a lb. so it doesn’t leave much for the grower.” It costs about $3,000 per acre to plant potatoes. In 2013, the average yield was 281 cwt. per acre, requiring a price of at least $10.67 per cwt. to break even. Gill said the company paid growers far more than other places in North America did last year because of tight supply and so much competition. “We were paying the grower a lot more than the market would bear, but we needed to in order to make it work for us,” he said.

Aussie groups examining climate change strategies Ag adaptation | Official warns of an increase in extreme events SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Peanuts have moved north, tuna has moved east and wine has moved south. But sooner or later, Australia is going to run out of places to shift agricultural production to avoid the harsh effects of climate change. Australia’s flagship scientific body recently told the Reuters Global Climate Change Summit that it is critical for companies to consider both mitigation and adaptation measures now. “We have to act very soon on mitigation, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and adaptation,” Mark Stafford Smith, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization’s (CSIRO) science director for climate adaptation, said in an interview. Climate change is a major threat to food security in a country that has talked about becoming a “food bowl” for Asia. It also complicates a government plan to increase agricultural production to meet an expected doubling in global food demand by 2050. Stafford Smith said that as the only developed nation dominated by an arid climate, Australia faces more variability in rainfall, prolonged droughts and a greater incidence of extreme weather events. The government-funded CSIRO is working with industries and companies on adaptation strategies. Wine companies are testing underground irrigation systems that they developed with CSIRO in their vineyards in response to increased levels of evaporation. The agency is also working with cereal farmers to experiment with new grain varieties that are better able to cope with higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The average global temperature has warmed by more than .7 C over the past century, and the present warming rate is .2 C per decade, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Australia is heating up even faster. A joint Bureau of MeteorologyCSIRO State of the Climate 2014 report found that current temperatures are, on average, almost 1 C warmer than they were in 1910. Most of the increase has occurred since the 1950s, suggesting an accelerated warming trend. The need to adapt is reflected in the varying success that Australian industries have had in making a straightforward geographical shift. Wine companies are benefiting from the purchase of vineyards in the t iny islan d s t at e o f Ta sman i a, prompted by ever hotter and drier conditions to find alternatives to the country’s traditional wine growing regions on the mainland. They are now growing different varieties in the cooler southern climate. Tuna fisheries in the Southern Ocean have shifted further east as sea temperatures rise, initially moving them closer to ports and other infrastructure. However, they will eventually move further away if they continue to chase warmer waters east.

A lack of infrastructure was the downfall of a move by peanut growers from central Queensland to the tip of the Northern Territory. Growers moved north to take advantage of the mix of sun and higher rainfall, but high transportation costs and mould hampered their efforts. The Peanut Company of Australia abandoned its plans for large-scale production in the far north in 2012, selling its property after just five years

to a sandalwood producer. The peanut industry is looking at trying again, but this time it is setting the stage with a trial crop to try and find a new variety of peanut for the northern climate. Stafford Smith said it is that kind of innovation rather than simply shifting geographies, that Australia needs to pursue and potentially export to others, given that the country is at the forefront of responding to climate change.

Australia’s wine-growing industry is attempting to respond to climate change issues. A study by the U.S. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that up to 73 percent of Australian land used for viticulture could become unsuitable by 2050. | REUTERS/DAVID GRAY PHOTO

With 8% more yield than other inoculants, it makes a welcome addition to any operation.

Chances are if you grow peas or lentils you’re already using inoculants. What you may not realize is they’re not all created equal. That’s why you should insist on Nodulator® XL. With the most active strain of rhizobia, it improves nitrogen fixation for increased root biomass and top growth. It all adds up to higher yield potential. So when you choose Nodulator XL, we suggest you think ahead to harvest time—and think big.

ANIMAL HEALTH | INVESTMENT

Animal pharm industry gives Wall Street shot in the arm Enthusiastic investors | Animal medicines and vaccines cost only a fraction of human drugs to develop and hit the market in half the time OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (Reuters) — Whether it is cancer drugs for cats, pain relief for dogs, diarrhea drugs for hogs or hormones for dairy cattle, the “animal pharm” industry is increasingly drawing the interest of Wall Street investors. Jaguar Animal Health of California, one of the newest companies to market in the emerging sector, notified the Securities and Exchange Commission in late August of its plans to launch an initial public offering valued at up to US $70 million to develop of gastrointestinal products for pets and livestock. Jaguar said it launched its first commercial product, a drug to treat diarrhea in calves, earlier this month. Analysts say interest in the growing sector is strong despite risks, such as the possibility that drugs do not perform as expected. “There is a lot of enthusiasm for animal health,” said Tim Lugo, an analyst at William Blair & Company, which has helped manage two recent animal health IPOs. “Vets in general are starving for new innovative therapies.” The global animal health industry is pegged at $92 to $102 billion, with the subsector of animal medicines and vaccines seen at $22 billion annually, according to a report by Technology Acceleration Partners, a private capital development firm that targets animal health, food and agricultural ventures. The animal medicines and vaccines sector is expected to grow by 5.7 percent per year from 2011-16, according to the report. Investors like the fact that regula-

tory approval of products for animals can move faster at less cost than with drugs for people. A drug for humans can take 10 years and more than $1 billion to develop, while one for animals can reach the marketplace in half that time for about $10 million. Animal drug development companies were largely off the radar screen until 18 months ago. They were either divisions of much larger human-focused pharmaceutical companies, with products and profit streams secondary to the parent operations, or start-ups struggling for cash. That changed in January 2013 when Pfizer Inc. raised $2.2 billion by spinning off its animal health business, Zoetis. Shares have climbed more than 40 percent since then, to around $38. One of Zoetis’s hottest draws is a vaccine for pregnant hogs to ward off a virus that has killed millions of newborn pigs in the United States. With Zoetis laying the groundwork, several other animal health companies have stretched out a hand to Wall Street, seeking capital for research and drug development. Phibro Animal Health of New Jersey made a $200 million offering in April and saw shares rise 31 percent through October. And in June, Parnell Pharmaceuticals Holdings of Overland Park, Kansas, raised $50 million for a portfolio that includes bone regeneration products for dogs. Stan Baker, a lawyer for Husch Blackwell, which provides legal counsel for animal health compa-

nies, called the industry’s rise “explosive.” “There was nothing, and then lo and behold we have an animal health space,” he said. “All of a sudden people are going, ‘wow.’ ” A rising world population and increased wealth are boosting demand for animal health products, industry experts say. The drugs being developed help keep livestock healthy and can extend the lives and well-being of the pets that people want to pamper. Still, risks are real. In August, shares in newly minted public company Kindred Biosciences plunged following a failed field study on a new product for treating dogs with osteoarthritis. The company, which saw net proceeds of $56 million from its December 2013 IPO, spent $4 million developing the drug before determining it would not work. That did not deter Aratana Therapeutics Inc. of Kansas City, Kan., from announcing Sept. 16 that it planned to raise more than $41 million in its third public offering in less than 18 months. Four-year-old Aratana has already raised more than $200 million from public market investors since its June 2013 IPO. Industry observers say it is too early to tell how well the animal health companies will do in the public investment spotlight, since few of them have meaningful track records. “Is it a bubble? Maybe,” said Michael Helmstetter, Technology Acceleration’s chief executive officer. “We’ll know in the next few years.”

Cargill reports lower profit amid slumping grain markets Political unrest takes toll | Violence in Ukraine, reduced exports and lower grain prices also blamed CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Cargill’s quarterly earnings have fallen as global grain and oilseed prices tumbled in anticipation of a record large U.S. harvest and as turmoil in some countries affected its operations. The company its fiscal first quarter, which ended Aug. 31, was “marked by a great deal of geopolitical uncertainty,” including inflation in Venezuela and Argentina, violence in eastern Ukraine, and tightening credit markets in China. Rival grain trader Louis Dreyfus has also blamed geopolitical turmoil for its disappointing quarterly results. Cargill reported net earnings of

US$425 million in the quarter, down 26 percent from $571 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue fell nearly two percent to $33.3 billion from $33.8 billion a year earlier. Returns from Cargill’s origination and processing business, which is its largest segment, slipped as farmers held back grain sales amid tumbling prices. As well, the lower commodity markets volatility made it difficult for the company to generate trading profits. Benchmark corn futures prices tumbled 23 percent in the quarter and soybean prices fell 27 percent as

largely ideal crop weather in the United States fuelled expectations for a record harvest. Cargill said it was poised to benefit from replenished grain supplies as the harvest advances in its second quarter and lower grain prices attract demand. “This year’s big crops, not just in North America but across agricultural production areas worldwide, will enhance food security after several years of weather disruptions. Our company is well positioned to connect these new supplies to growing demand,” president David MacLennan said.

Cargill blamed lower profits in its food and ingredients business on weak economic conditions in several countries, but said strong demand for corn-based ethanol supported its North American processing operations. A bright spot for Cargill in the quarter came from its animal protein businesses as lower grain prices reduced cattle feed input costs. As well, the shortage of hogs caused by a deadly pig virus in the U.S. was lower than expected. Strong consumer demand and historically high meat prices further bolstered returns. Profits in energy rebounded after

Corn futures prices fell 23 percent in the first quarter. | FILE PHOTO two weak quarters and a revamping of its trading unit, but Cargill reported weaker results from ocean freight trading and metals as tighter Chinese credit markets hurt demand for iron ore and steel.

WORLD IN BRIEF MEAT PROCESSING

Ex-Cargill manager fights attempt to keep him from rival CHICAGO (Reuters) — Valuable trade secrets that Cargill Inc. says were stolen by a longtime manager in its meatpacking division who quit for rival JBS, are nothing more than basic butchery, lawyers for the employee said in court documents. Privately held Cargill, a top U.S. meat producer, is asking a federal judge in Denver to forbid Jason Kuan from working for a competitor for one year to prevent damages stemming from the loss of confidential information. The dispute illustrates the intense competition among meat producers and processors at a time when beef prices are at record highs and the U.S. cattle herd is at a 60 year low. In August, Cargill sued Kuan, who led its “case-ready” meat unit in Canada, for allegedly copying hundreds of company documents after he had a job offer from JBS in

Colorado. Kuan, who worked for Cargill for 20 years, did not return the documents when he resigned, according to the complaint. Kuan’s lawyers denied that he stole materials, according to a court filing this week. They said this month that Cargill’s worries about the potential disclosure of trade secrets were misplaced because the meat industry is not highly technical. MARKETS

South Sudan faces famine LONDON, U.K. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Famine could strike another million people across South Sudan early next year if the civil war escalates, a recent report states. Aid agencies fear an imminent upsurge in fighting once the rainy season ends this month, which could wipe out recent efforts to avert famine and push areas of the world’s youngest country into starvation by March next year. Some 10,000 people have died and 1.7 million, one seventh of the population, have been displaced since conflict broke out between president Salva Kiir’s government forces and rebels allied to his former deputy, Reek Machar. Tariq Riebl, head of Oxfam in South Sudan, said humanitarian aid is vital, but a political resolution is urgent. “If the international community really wants to avert a famine, then it has to make bold diplomatic efforts to bring both sides to end fighting,” Riebl said. The report said nearly 2.2 million people face starvation, despite significant international aid and a recent lull in fighting because of the wet season. Malnutrition was also a serious concern because the conflict has limited food production, disrupted markets and pushed up food prices. STATISTICS

USDA to restart U.S. oilseed crush reports (Reuters) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is taking over a series of industrial grain and oilseed reports that the U.S. Census Bureau discontinued in 2011. However, the department will not begin publishing data until next year. The reports, which include statistics for the dry and wet alcohol milling and flour milling sectors, as well as the cotton, fats and oilseeds industries, were discontinued due to census budget cuts. Traders and analysts followed them to gauge monthly consumption of grains and oilseeds. The soon to be resumed reports include the soybean crush report, which provided key data on how

many soybeans were processed into soyoil and soymeal each month. Trade sources had hoped the reports would resume late this year. However, Alex Minchenkov, a spokesperson for the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, said, “it’s not going to be this year.”

Weather may reduce Brazil’s coffee crop. | MACKAY SAVAGE/FLICKR. COM PHOTO

Weather casts doubt on coffee harvest SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazil’s National Coffee Council said the climate outlook is unfavourable for the country’s 2015 coffee crop, citing forecasts that see little chance of rain in the country’s main growing regions for the near future. Coffee trees that have suffered from drought this year could still yield a normal crop next year, the council said in a statement, but they would need rain in the next few days. Such rain was unlikely before Oct. 23, according to weather forecasting firm Somar, whose outlook was cited by the council. “We believe the drought should damage the next harvest, but it is still too early to define the extent because that is completely dependent on the rains,” said the coffee council. Council president Silas Brasileiro had previously said next year’s crop may dip below 40 million bags, which would make it the country’s smallest since 2009.

RESIDUE | BURNING BECOMING LESS OF AN OPTION

Straw burning problem lessening in Manitoba Harvest conditions short-term reason | Farmers are also changing how they manage crop residue in their fields BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Manitoba media is not consumed by outrage over farmers burning straw in the Red River Valley this fall. That’s a relief, “especially when you’re the one sitting by the phone,” said Jeanette Gaultier, who is part of Manitoba Agriculture’s monitoring and licensing system for fall straw burning. Officials like Gaultier and those at Keystone Agricultural Producers sometimes hear angry complaints about straw burning, with many urban residents complaining about asthma and allergy problems. Farmers then feel they are unfairly blamed for the problem and unduly restricted by burning rules. However, that’s not happening this year. Little straw burning has happened and few problems have arisen. Farmers hope it’s an issue that is becoming part of the past. “We’ve been working our straw in for a long time,” said Brunkild farmer James Karlowsky. “We work it into the land as hard as we can and we try to never burn.” Late crops and wet fall conditions could be the primary reason while little crop has been burned this year. Straw

The Manitoba government isn’t hearing as many complaints about straw burning this fall. | FILE PHOTO needs to be dry to burn, and many farmers are still busy with harvest. However, farmer practices have also been changing in a way that might produce much less burning in the future, even when burning condi-

tions are perfect. Karlowsky said his farm burned wheat straw until 2006, but then a new combine with better strawchopping abilities allowed them to handle the residue without burning.

Portage La Prairie farmer Chris McCallister said most of his neighbours don’t burn any longer because they can work in straw if they need and use vertical tillage to eliminate most straw problems. That

means they don’t see the residue as a problem but instead as something that helps their fields improve. “We’re seeing less and less burning because guys are seeing there are a lot of nutrients there and are putting it back into the soil,” said McCallister. “Our tillage equipment is getting better.” Gaultier said the provincial burning program has also focused on reducing the potential for urbanrural conflict by managing burning. Daily burning plans are mapped out and high concentrations are avoided. Farmers are helping by not burning if they don’t need to do it or if conditions become bad. “A lot of guys are really using their discretion, even if they have a permit in hand,” said Gaultier. More corn and soybeans in the Red River Valley is also reducing straw burning. Wheat produces massive stands of thick straw in the valley, but corn and soybean crops create little residue. Wheat is now a much less important crop than in the past. As a result, less wheat, better combine choppers, better tillage equipment and more careful farmers may be ushering in a new era for straw burning. “I don’t think you’ll have nearly as much in the future,” said Karlowsky.

POLITICS | ALBERTA

Professor questions Alta. gov’t’s relevance BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta premier Jim Prentice was elected to the province’s highest office by .0075 percent of the electorate. That is political scientist Bonnie Farries’ calculation based on the votes Prentice received to become Progressive Conservative party leader and premier elect Sept. 7. His 17,963 votes, cast only by party memb e r s, i s a f ra c t i o n o f A l b e r t a’s 2,387,485 eligible voters. “This leader does not have a strong mandate and yet he’s acting as though he does,” said Farries in an Oct. 16 speech to the Southern Alberta Council of Public Affairs. She said the low number indicates “you are not connecting with the electorate. You are not connecting with your own party.” Prentice is running in an Oct. 27 byelection to win a seat in the legislature. Since becoming premier, he has made constant reference to “a new era for Alberta,” which is generally seen as a way to distance himself and the party from former premier Alison Redford. “What’s new about it,” asked Farries, noting the undercurrent of blame on Redford. “It’ not just her fault. She had a caucus behind her that supported her.” Most of that caucus is still in the legislature, although Farries said one of only two PC MLAs elected in

southern Alberta in the last provincial election has been dropped from cabinet. “Removing (Lethbridge West MLA) Greg Weadick from cabinet definitely has consequences,” she said. Prentice is playing to the Calgary and Edmonton power base and ignoring southern Alberta, she added. The region voted almost entirely Wildrose in the last election. Prentice has cancelled some of Redford’s more controversial plans, such as closing Red Deer’s Michener Centre and changing the licence plate design. He also announced plans to sell the provincial planes, the unauthorized use of which caused controversy for Redford and other cabinet ministers last year. Farries said those moves were predictable, and she was critical of recent PC announcements of plans to build 230 new schools and fix the province’s health-care system without showing a fiscal plan for the former and an organizational plan for the latter. As well, the cabinet ministers involved in those portfolios were unelected appointees of the new premier. Despite that and Prentice’s lack of mandate, Farries said she doesn’t rule out a PC victory in the next election, primarily because of voter apathy and Albertans’ penchant for “serial monogamy” when it comes to government.

AGRONOMY | PRECISION AGRICULTURE

Bird’s-eye view offers new field perspective Variable rate prescriptions | Computer program uses satellite images to create field maps for soil variability and yield potential BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODSTOCK , Ont. — A crop input company has figured out how to use satellite photos to help producers better manage their farms. Winfield’s R7 Tool is a computer program that uses a historical database of satellite images to create field maps, including soil variability, management zones, yield potential, and profitability maps. Colin Smith, the company’s sales rep in Ontario, said the maps provide information on fields that wouldn’t otherwise be available, even to agronomists who have worked with the fields for years. “I’m able to see aspects of the field that the agronomist, without this data, has never seen before,” he said. “It becomes a different discussion. You can do a better job selecting a better product and population for that field.” The first step in analyzing a field is to map it on a satellite image within the program. Producers then select the crop to be planted and the product to be used. The program provides product

scores on measures of response to population, response to nitrogen and how products respond on a continuous corn rotation. The program then searches the database and selects maps from two drier than average years and two wetter than average years. It then creates a soil variability map, which shows where the heavier and lighter soil is located in the field. The program examines the variability in the foliage of previous crops, identifies trends in biomass levels across the fields and creates yield potential maps. Producers involved in variable rate planting and fertilizing will be interested in the satellite derived management zones (SAMZ) map the program creates, which breaks the field up into management zones. “It’s showing that there are different zones in the field,” Smith said. “Not that one is better than the other, but on the data it’s looking at, they are significantly different and should be managed accordingly.” Information from the combine’s yield monitor can be imported into the program and overlaid with the SAMZ map. Producers can then use

this information to check how their variable rate seeding and fertilizing program is working. “We can basically ground truth what has happened in that field and start making finer adjustments for the following year,” Smith said. The SAMZ map zones can also help producers decide where to soil test. R7 Tool can also create profitability maps. Producers enter input costs for the different products used on a field and then import their yield data into the map to see which acres are most and least profitable. “In some of those lower producing acres, rather than over fertilizing them, it might be a situation where we can move that fertilizer to an acre that’s going to be more responsive,” Smith said. “We’re not going to spend any more money on fertilizer, we’re just going to reallocate the resource to get more return for it.” Growers can also buy in-season images to help scout their fields. The in-season image can be imported into the program and then exported to Google Earth on the producer’s smartphone or tablet. The user can then walk directly to a problem spot

to look for the causes of field variability identified on the map. R7 Tool is also used to identify which corn and soybeans will work best on a field. Different maturity lengths are input into the program and soil types accounted for. It also considers how the product responds under different management, such

as row spacing and plant population. The archive maps are part of a service that Winfield sellers provide. However, prescription or variablerate planting maps currently costs $7 an acre. The price of an in-season image is also $7 an acre. The suggested retail is $12 an acre if both products are purchased.

MACHINERY | HARVESTING

Deere’s big S combine changes target Prairies Roomier intake | Better crop flow in heavy production and fewer choke points BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Deere’s S ser ies combines are receiving improved systems for small grains next year. After the much anticipated release of John Deere’s new combine line a couple of seasons ago, some producers suggested that improvements for small grains, oilseeds and tough harvesting conditions were in order. “ The machines saw dramatic increases in capacity, but there were refinements we wanted to make. Our c u s t o m e r s t o l d u s w h e re t h e y thought changes could be made and we made it happen,” said Emily Priebe of John Deere. Deere added an hydraulically managed concave system to take advantage of the machines’ increased threshing area and increased horsepower: 473 h.p. for the S680 series and 543 h.p. for the 690 series, as well as an additional 50 h.p. for unloading on the go. The active hydraulic isolation design senses the load as large clots of crop move through the system and is able to widen the gap to keep the machine from plugging, without significant grain losses. Priebe said the system eliminates shear and eye bolts from the concave design. Both were maintenance items that required replacement. “Under a heavy, variable load, it

also makes the machines a lot quieter, less of the banging sounds from the rotor (area),” she said. Interrupter bars and heavy-duty

separator gates, which are part of the n e w To u g h C ro p Pa c k a g e, a re designed to handle increased loading from heavy crops and wide headers. A four-strand feeder house chain and a new eight-inch drum improves crop feeding by 10 percent and allows more space in the feeder house. The feed accelerator receives eight wings to push crop into the rotors more evenly. Tilting the header on the feeder house from the cab allows producers to improve the angle of attack for the

knife on the go, said Priebe, a Harvester Works specialist from East Moline, Illinois. “As the crop conditions change during the day or the field changes, it means you don’t have to stop to reset it or slow down to keep the crop flowing efficiently, hoping things will improve,” she said. “These improvements were aimed at the western Canadian market and the Dakotas and Montana. Big crops, lots of material, lots of variety and a tight harvesting window.”

Priebe told dealers attending the company’s 2015 model year launch that a new 45 foot flex header, which is five feet wider than its predecessor, improves overall capacity by 20 percent. The 645FD draper flex-header allows for 7.5 inches of flex of the cutter bar. The header was previously available in 30, 35 and 40 foot models. The big unit receives a wider centre section, which allows for a 15 percent increase in crop flow into the feeder house.

isruptive technology is a buzzword that is frequently thrown around in the high tech world these days. It is technology that helps create a new market and eventually disrupts an existing market, displacing earlier technology. Agriculture has depended on technology for growth in productivity. Previous disruptive technologies include the world’s first seed drill in 1733 and the first reaper and self polishing steel plow in 1937. These innovations allowed farmers to plow, plant and harvest in a fraction of the time that was needed before their implementation. Agricultural productivity soared. The replacement of horse power with tractor power was another disruptive technology. By the start of the 20th century,

produce nitrogen fertilizers for agricultural use. Other nutrients were explored and a variety of fertilizer products were introduced. At the same time, synthetic pesticides were developed and introduced to control weed, insect and fungal pests. Crop breeding has been the latest disruptive technology to improve yields. With his colleagues, Norman Borlaug, an American scientist working in Mexico, used those tools in the 1960s to breed new wheat varieties that had higher yield potential and were more responsive to inputs such as fertilizer and irrigation water. In the late 1980s, the first genetically modified crops were introduced. In just 10 years, GM crops dominated corn, soybean, cotton and canola acres in North America. The reliance on technology to increase food production and do it using highly sustainable practices has never been greater, considering that the world will add another two billion people by 2050. So what will be the next disruptive technology to revolutionize agriculture? Today’s ag technology buzz is centered around methods to collect, transfer and analyze reams of weather, farm and field information, commonly called big data. Farmers are using myriad layers of information to write a prescription for every field operation on every field. The data is loaded into the computerized systems that operate drills, applicators and irrigation pivots to precisely apply the type and amount of inputs across a field. The ultimate goal is to maximize the productivity of every acre in every field, while optimizing the use of inputs and natural resources. The potential payoff is huge. Precision ag technology is expected to contribute 30 percent of the crop production growth required to feed the world by 2050, says John Fulton, a bio-systems engineer with Auburn University. “It is necessary for company partnerships as big data solutions develop in ag,” he said. “A machinery manufacturer does not have the agronomy expertise, but they are a main driver in data being generated on equipment. They have to partner with companies that have different expertise.” Creating management zones based on satellite imagery, yield maps, soil fertility samples and soil types allows farmers to vary seeding, fertility and

irrigation rates and pesticide applications. Modern technology allows information from tractors, drills, sprayers and combines to be automatically transferred to tablets such as iPads or stored on a cloud-based drive. Seed and fertilizer data flows wirelessly from the monitors to tablets and the cloud. The same is true with pesticide applications. Yield data is transferred from combines to iPads, to farm managers and agronomists during harvest, and analysis of the results and future seeding plans begins. Other information, including fuel consumption and slippage, allows the efficiencies of different pieces of equipment to be analyzed. A manager is able to log into any piece of equipment at any point in these operations, see what is occurring in real time and make adjustments to equipment operations. Weather is another integral piece of data that can be tracked and stored. As all farmers know, it is the real driver when it comes to crop growth, yield and quality. In-field weather stations can track precipitation, temperatures and wind in real time and cumulatively. The information enables farmers to react to weather events at field level or in smaller increments. It allows for precise crop staging as modelling programs integrate emergence dates, weather data and varietal information. The use of big data on the farm may include the development of sustainability reports by field. This information could include variable rate nitrogen applications and fuel use, which when combined can create a carbon footprint for a specific field or crop. As well, pesticide use can be tracked and a yield map developed. Concerns include data ownership and equipment compatibility. Ownership is a critical component. There is no question that growers can benefit by participating in regional analyses. Simple, statistical comparisons can make farmers aware of the best varieties and hybrids to plant and when to plant them, as well as a selection of other favourable practices for their farming enterprises.

HERBICIDES | DOW AGROSCIENCES

New stacked herbicide still needs approval in export markets Glyphosate and 2,4-D | U.S. has approved Dow’s Enlist technology, but China and the European Union have yet to sign off on the product BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Dow’s Enlist technology is now fully approved in the United States, but the company must still overcome roadblocks to fully commercialize corn and soybeans with stacked herbicide tolerance. The U.S. approval means a substantial number of corn and soybean farmers in Canada and the U.S. will grow crops with herbicide tolerance for glyphosate and 2,4-D next spring. “We see this as a huge opportunity, globally, because of the issues with hard-to-control and resistant weeds in corn and soybeans,” said Jeff Loessin, portfolio marketing leader for Dow AgroSciences Canada. Loessin said Dow hasn’t announced its intentions for the technology because it is awaiting import approvals from China and the European Union. “I would anticipate at this point in time, because they don’t have China and the EU finalized … in a couple of weeks we’ll announce where we are going, in terms of those two geographies,” he said. The outcome of those approvals will affect how Dow rolls out its Enlist technology in North America. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decided last week to register Enlist Duo, a herbicide containing a new version of 2,4-D and glyphosate. The herbicide will be used in combination with Dow’s Enlist technolo g y , w h e re g row e r s c a n s p ray glyphosate and 2,4-D on corn and

NOTABLE QUOTES The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to register Enlist Duo, a herbicide containing glyphosate and a new version of 2,4D, provoked a hostile response from environmental groups. Opponents link 2,4-D to a number of ailments, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and birth defects. • “EPA has turned its back on those it purports to protect, the American people and our environment,” said the Center for Food Safety. “In the wake of our government’s abdication of its responsibilities, Center for Food Safety will pursue all available legal options to stop the commercialization of these dangerous crops.” • “The EPA ignored science pointing to the serious health risks — especially to children — associated with 2,4-D,” said the Environmental Working Group. “Giving a chemical company the green light to bring a known harmful weed killer to market for use on millions of acres of crops puts public health and the environment in danger.” • The EPA said it “evaluated the risks to all age groups … (and the) decision meets the rigorous Food Quality Protection Act standard of “reasonable certainty of no harm” to human health…. This assessment is the third time in recent years that EPA has evaluated the safety of 2,4-D and the safety finding is consistent with past assessments that EPA has performed for 2,4-D.”

soybeans without killing the crop. The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the genetically modified trait in September. Dow has promoted Enlist as a potential solution to the rapidly expanding problem of herbicide resistant weeds in North America. The company has said only a small number of weeds are resistant to 2,4D, so the technology will help farmers struggling with glyphosate resistant weeds. Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency approved the use of Enlist Duo nearly two years ago.

Loessin said Enlist corn would likely be planted commercially in Eastern Canada in 2015, and soybeans would follow in 2016. “I would anticipate, just because of hybrid or variety availability, that Western Canada would be a year behind.” Crosby Devitt, Grain Farmers of Ontario vice-president of strategic development, said growers with glyphosate resistant weeds are eager to use the Enlist technology. “Growers are looking for tools to manage those weeds but also prevent resistance down the road, where

they don’t have it,” he said. “This is another tool that we don’t currently have available to us.” Devitt said farmers are familiar with 2,4-D because it’s been on the market for decades, but they will test out the technology before jumping on board. Loessin said there is customer demand in Ontario, but that won’t determine how many producers grow Enlist corn next year. “At this point in time, who has got seed available is probably more important than … customer demand,” he said.

PREDATION RESEARCH | CONTROLLING LIVESTOCK LOSSES

Sheep-cattle bond creates united front Predator losses reduced | Researchers examine how to bond cattle and sheep into flerds to keep coyotes at bay BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

THORSBY, Alta. — Sheep losses from coyotes were eliminated on research station rangeland when cattle and sheep were bonded together into a flerd, says an American researcher. Just like in an old western movie where the settlers circled the wagons and the young and vulnerable huddled in the middle for protection, the cows created a circle facing out to the coyote with the sheep in the middle. Coyotes would kill a sheep every five days at the Jornada Experimental Range near Las Cruces, New Mexico, before researchers began creating bonds between cow herds and sheep flocks to create flerds. They lost almost half their flock to coyotes in the first 12 months after buying the sheep to work on improved rangeland management. It was a financial hit and was bad for the sheep, but the deaths also played havoc with the research. Dean Anderson, an animal scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said researchers tried to control the coyote problem by trapping and snaring, poisoning, shooting from the ground and the air and

building electric fences. “We knew we didn’t have a predator program that was working,” Anderson told a recent sheep and goat symposium hosted by the WestCentral Forage Association. But then Anderson talked to a California farmer who ran cows and sheep together with great success, especially with predator control. The farmer weaned his cows and sheep at the same time and brought them into a corral where they stayed together and were fed a creep ration. The two groups seemed to stay together when they returned to pasture. Anderson didn’t know if he could recreate the same conditions on the 193,000 acre research station, but he needed a better solution for coyote losses. The researchers started by placing heifers and sheep in the same small pen, where they ate and slept together for 30 days. The two groups continued to bond with each other once they were placed on the range. “We found out they could create a bond in a field.” The cows decided where the flerd would graze, and the sheep would follow.

Once a bond is established, it will not break down. When animals are truly bonded, you can put them in dense bush and they will stick together. DEAN ANDERSON ANIMAL SCIENTIST

“It was a little below a cow’s dignity to follow a sheep,” said Anderson. Range management was an unexpected bonus because the sheep would follow the cattle instead of overgrazing a lush piece of grass. “We were able to spread the grazing pressure over the landscape with the flerd concept,” he said. The research wasn’t perfect. An experiment that looked for the ideal age of sheep to create a bond put the two species together when the sheep were 45, 60 and 90 days old. Sheep at 45 and 90 days old were well bonded, but not the 60 day old animals. The researchers concluded that two cranky heifers in the pen with the 60-day-old sheep didn’t get along

and refused to let the animals eat together. Bonding failed not because of the sheep’s age but the personality of the animals. “If you see an animal being abused by other animals, they won’t create a bond.” He said staff should have replaced the heifers with ones with a better temperament instead of letting the sheep be bossed around. Sheep from 45 days to 18 months all bonded well with cattle. Another experiment accidently placed a wether, or castrated male lamb, in the bonding pen with a group of ewes. It seemed to form a tighter bond with the cattle for the rest of its life than did the ewes. A n der so n didn’t do a s mu ch research with goats, but he found that hair goats seemed to bond with cows and sheep better than meat goats. Another experiment placed 24 non-bonded sheep with a flock of 24 sheep that were already bonded to cattle. The non-bonded sheep stuck with the bonded group. Anderson said they also looked at how to introduce newly bonded sheep to an existing herd. The researchers initially added one or two every three days and slowly increased it until the flock was inte-

grated. Ensuring the bonds don’t break in a large pasture is important. Anderson said it’s necessary to create ways for the bonds to stick, especially if the flerd has not been together long. For example, producers who have two waterers in a field should shut off one and force the herd to come together to drink at a single waterer until the bond is established. “Once a bond is established, it will not break down. When animals are truly bonded, you can put them in dense bush and they will stick together.” The sheep don’t bond to specific animals within the flerd. As a result, changing the cattle won’t affect the bond. Some sheep breeds respond more favourably to bonding than others. The white-faced sheep that Anderson worked with all bonded well. He never worked with black-faced sheep but heard they don’t always bond as easily. Another benefit of the flerd is that it creates a virtual sheep proof fence. Sheep that aren’t bonded to cattle escape through fences designed to hold only cattle, but bonded sheep don’t leave the cattle and wander outside the fence, even if the fence has wires high off the ground.

PORK | DEMAND

Analyst warns of long-term damage of PED, COOL Hog shortages | Economist says effects of disease and policy will hurt consumer demand BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

High prices for Manitoba weanlings are just one of the unintended consequences of country-oforigin labelling (COOL) for American farmers, says economist Al Mussell. But a general shrinking of demand for pork is the long-term consequence that helps nobody in the North American hog industr y, including those who pushed for COOL. “Markets continue to adjust. What’s the long-term implication of this (sort of law?) It’s somewhat predictable,” said Mussell, a George Morris Centre researcher. “They’re short of pigs because of (porcine epidemic diarrhea virus), and we haven’t got as many to sell because of COOL.” PED has killed millions of piglets

Nobody’s happy. AL MUSSELL GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE

just at the time when they are most needed by American farmers. Pig and pork prices have been at all-time record highs in the last year and farmers would like to produce as many as possible. But Canada, a major source of highhealth weanlings for U.S. farmers, has seen weanling production slump in the years since COOL made many U.S. farmers unwilling to buy Canadian pigs. Some Canadian sow operations failed when they lost that market. Others converted their operations to serve the Canadian market.

MEAT AND DAIRY | PRODUCTION

Livestock production increasing as developing countries grow BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A growing desire for meat, particularly in the developing world, is going to shift consumption and demand patterns, says a leading livestock researcher. Suzanne Bertrand, deputy director general for biosciences with the International Livestock Research Institute, predicts that most of the pork on North American supermarket shelves will eventually come from China. Speaking at the recent 2014 Agricultural Bioscience International Conference in Saskatoon, Bertrand said expanding beef production in Africa, Asia and Latin America are other export factors. Farmers in those parts of the world keep cattle in poorer health because they can sell the better quality ones to earn money to send their children to school. “Breeders are pulling their hair,” she said. Many types of zoonotic diseases threaten livestock, especially nonindigenous cattle, she added. In Africa, farmers annually lose 22 percent of their young cattle, 28 percent of their sheep and goats and 70 percent of poultry before they reach adulthood. Vaccines and breeding groups must be created that are resistant to disease, not only to protect livestock production but also because these zoonotic diseases can kill humans.

“A good example people should keep in mind is the avian flu,” she said. “It is very difficult to control.” Bertrand and her team have been gathering genotype data so they can determine the primary location of various cattle breeds and their susceptibility to disease. Phenotype data remains a challenge to collect, but people can fill in the blanks by documenting how much milk is being collected, how many calves are born and how healthy they are. Bertrand is working on isolating the genes that make certain animals resistant to diseases and transferring them to breed resistant cattle. Women in Africa and Asia have a major role to play in data collection and animal health, Bertrand said. “Some villages, if you have four litres of milk per day, you are very happy,” she said. “If you tell women they can have 10 litres a day, the women will start thinking, ‘I can drink two litres and sell eight. If I sell eight, I will have enough money for school fees or that pretty dress or that school uniform.’ ” Bertrand said this is one way her organization empowers women. And through this empowerment, women collect data about their cows, which can be used to establish the kind of breeding that needs to be done to produce a better herd. “The goal is to produce a breeding herd with total immunities,” she said.

The sharp decline in Canadian production has combined with PEDv losses to make quality piglets hard to find, and that is pushing pork prices higher. Mussell said proponents of COOL should learn from this situation, because any problems they are suffering now are self-inflicted.

“Nobody would have predicted this particular disease, but you could have predicted that there would be some kind of phenomenon that would sideswipe the industry,” said Mussell. “When you have a measure that prevents the market from responding the way it otherwise would,

essentially everybody loses.” Mussell said the impact of COOL is similar to the Manitoba government’s effective ban on new hog barn construction: producers are hurt; processors are hurt; jobs are lost; the industry declines; the economy suffers. “Nobody’s happy,” said Mussell.

Brahman bred way up north Warm weather breed | Alberta rancher sells Brahman genetics BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Alberta farmer David Andrews fell in love with Brahman cattle on a trip to the United States. Their friendly attitude drew the man in, and he decided he wanted to try raising them as a hobby. He didn’t know the hobby would grow into a breeding program with 25 to 35 head of cattle on his Irricana farm. Orders for Brahman embryos and sperm started arriving in the early 1990s when Andrews was one of the few Brahman breeders in Canada who produced polled Brahman cattle. The American Brahman Breeders Association also recommended him. Andrews said his sales got started by answering the telephone. “I got calls from other countries saying, ‘we hear you have Brahmans’ and they would order right there.� Other than the breed’s love of hot weather, Andrews said raising Brahman isn’t that much different from raising other cattle. However, breeders must ensure they have adequate shelter for the animals. “We have temperatures down to -40 C and I have my barn doors open,� he said. “I hang freezer strips on the doors of

Brahman cattle have looser skin so they can shake ticks off their hides. Andrews’ cattle are polled. | DAVID ANDREWS PHOTO my barn. They go in and out whenever they want.� Andrews said the freezer strips hold the heat in the barn so that it doesn’t get terribly cold inside. Giving the animals the freedom to wander as they please is a big part of his success. Andrews has sold live Brahman to six provinces, while embryos and semen from his herd have been sold to Australia, New Zealand, Brazil,

Mexico, Belize, the United States, France, Germany, the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom. He is currently shipping embryos to England. He said his prolific sales in Europe are due to Canada being one of the few countries that can ship Brahmans to Europe. It also explains why people are buying the breed in Canada and not in a hotter climate such as Texas. “The U.S.A. cannot ship to Europe, very few countries can,� Andrews said. European producers are interested in Andrews’ cattle, which are polled, because animal welfare rules don’t allow dehorning. Michael Latimer, manager of the Canadian Beef Breeds Council, said cattle exports benefit Canada, whether they are exotic or traditional. “If we can export our genetic material, it gets our reputation out there.� Brahman may not be one of the larger Canadian breeds, but it still produces value for the breeder. Despite their tough meat, Latimer said they have other qualities, such as their loose skin, which allows them to shake ticks off their hides. Breeding Brahman with more traditional British-continental cattle can increase meat quality, he added.

Vets can boost value of emergency slaughters ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

On-farm slaughtered animals can be sold if put down by an approved vet

P

roducers sometimes find a breeding bull or cow in the pasture with a broken leg or a downer animal for a variety of reasons, including back injuries. Their value can be salvaged with emergency on-farm slaughter. There is a mechanism in which cattle can be inspected on the farm by an appointed veterinarian, put down, bled out and moved to a provincial plant where the final inspection can occur. Producers with an empty freezer can take the meat themselves, but following the above procedure means the meat is also approved for sale. It is such a shame to waste this valuable protein when a little planning may ensure its use. I am most familiar with the process in Alberta and so will review the procedure in that province. Each province may be slightly different so check with your provincial government body. The quicker a downer animal is killed and bled out on the farm, the better. Remember, downer animals cannot be transported to slaughter. In Alberta, the agriculture department appoints the veterinarians who inspect on-farm slaughter. Most provincial plants have a list of vets who are certified to do ante mortem (before death) inspection. In Manitoba, any veterinarian accredited to do Canadian Food Inspection Agency work can do ante mortem inspection. They use a CFIA developed form. Many local clinics have a veterinarian who has been approved and appointed. Contact an appointed vet when planning an on-farm slaughter. Someone, either you or the vet, should make sure the local plant is open and book an appointment. They should also make sure a provincial inspector is available. The animal is then killed humanely with either a captive bolt or gunshot and bled out. The animal is not gutted or skinned. Instead, it is taken intact to the plant so that the inspectors can complete their job. A local veterinarian may also be the appointed provincial inspector in some smaller or remote communities with provincially inspected plants. The key job of the appointed vet is to determine if the meat from a

downer or injured animal is safe to eat. A downer from a sudden injured back, broken leg, stifle injury or a calcium, phosphorus or magnesium imbalance may be eligible for butchering. A downer from a clostridia disease, severe metritis or E. coli mastitis will most likely not pass inspection and would not proceed to slaughter. The veterinarian will be able to advise if an animal that is ineligible for slaughter can be successfully treated. If the animal is put down, the vet can do a post mortem that may determine the exact cause of the illness so that others can be saved. These principles can also apply to those rare situations where a producer decides to butcher an animal on the farm, such as those that are severely fractious or extremely large. This is often done with extremely large mature bison bulls. When killing a large bull, make sure that either you or the butcher have more than enough firepower to get the job done and that whoever is firing has taken the firearm safety course. Safety reasons might prevent highly fractious animals from being ear tagged. The slaughter plant will often allow you to bring the tag with you. If not, tag the animal after it is killed. The appointed veterinarian will provide a short form to take to the slaughter plant, which indicates the animal’s health before death, lists any abnormalities and identifies the animal. This ensures that there will be a complete communication between the two levels of inspectors. All this must be done so that the animal can arrive at the plant within 45 minutes of being killed and bled out. The time may vary slightly depending on the season and ambient temperature, so check with the plant. If the time is longer, your only choice is to butcher for your own use. Talk to the veterinarian if there is any doubt as to the suitability of the meat. The appointed veterinarian is paid a fee, but it’s well worth it to allow butchering and sale of the meat. Work closely with your appointed veterinarians, local butchers and provincial meat inspectors because abnormalities can often be detected at slaughter. The meat may still be edible, but pathology such as lung adhesions, internal parasite scarring and peritoneal adhesions all indicate there has been a problem. Corrective measures can then be taken that will increase herd productivity overall.

Camera used for inside view Endoscope | Device can help vets see all the way into the animal’s stomach BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

It is impossible for a horse with throat problems to open wide and say aaah. Instead, a veterinarian can use an endoscope to see inside and do a more accurate diagnosis. Also used in human medicine, the endoscope has a long, small flexible tube with a light and camera attached to the end. By manipulating the tube through the horse’s nostril, the vet can explore the throat and esophagus, and if necessary, go into the stomach. The diagnostician can watch the exploration in real time on a screen to see if the horse has a growth, stomach ulcers or bleeding. “Anytime we need to look into the horse at the place where there may be a problem, and the endoscope fits, we’ll

go there,� said Renaud LÊguillette, a veterinary specialist in equine internal medicine at the University of Calgary. The university’s faculty of veterinary medicine is among the few to own such an instrument, which was demonstrated during a recent open house. LÊguillette works with high performance horses at the Calgary Stampede, where he has looked at chuck wagon horses and is now starting a new project with barrel racers. He has also used the tool to examine jumpers, polo horses and harness racers.

To make a precise assessment, researchers wanted to know what was happening as the horse ran. That led to the vet school being the first in North America to obtain a portable unit to assess horses while they work. The rider wears a special back-

pack carrying computerized equipment to wirelessly transmit information from the endoscope that is attached to the rider and then looped around the horse’s face and into its nose. LĂŠguillette can watch the action in real time from the sidelines as the horse runs full speed. “We can see some problems during

exercise, and we can review the video on the computer,� he said. He can later watch the airways opening and closing in slow motion on his laptop to see what was happening during exercise. If the horse needs corrective laser surgery in the throat, the endoscope is used to guide the vets to the right spot.

Broadway bras: raising money for cancer awareness, hope COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

I

’ve written a lot of columns about a lot of different things, but this is probably the first column I’ve written about bras. Yes, bras, or brassieres or, as Ellie May Clampett called them in The Beverly Hillbillies television show, “a store bought, lace trimmed doublebarreled slingshot.� Every year in Fargo, North Dakota, the bra becomes the symbol of an event to raise money for people in the area fighting breast cancer. This is the ninth year of the annual event at a hotel in downtown Fargo. You’ll recognize the place during the last week of October. It’ll be the three storey building with the strings of donated bras covering it from top to bottom. They call it “bra garland,� and it does add a festive flair to the hotel, restaurant and lounge. The big event takes donations and auctions bras that local artists have made into works of art. Teams raise money for those fighting breast cancer throughout October, and the kick-off event is called a “Brazaar.� Being a bit of a wordsmith, I appreciate the catchy play on words. I went to the family friendly Brazaar. I met a couple friends there who fought the formidable foe we call breast cancer and won. The one really good friend to my wife and I just finished her battle and rung the bell at the clinic that

declared her cancer-free. What a sweet sound. We all know someone who’s been diagnosed with breast cancer, encouraged them, prayed with them, and sometimes, tragically, mourned for them. Some of my friends who’ve faced the battle seem so young to be confronted with a diagnosis that forces them to think of things that a young person ought not have to consider. For those of us on the sidelines, we are called to consider how we can help: help with young children whose mother may not feel well enough to do the normal, caring things they’ve always done; how to be helpful to a spouse or other family member facing challenges of their own as they get down in the trenches to help their partner battle through the tough days. The Bras on Broadway event raised $150,000 last year from men and women alike committed to helping our friends and neighbours who are taking on breast cancer. They distributed the funds as gas cards for the patients who find themselves driving back and forth for their treatments and appointments. In a rural state like North Dakota, the distances can be great and the costs substantial. Having help to put gas in the tank removes one less worry as they face everything else with their family, doctors, treatment regimen, insurance company and issues with work, career and home. So at the Brazaar, there’s music, food, information and bras. Lots of bras. When you go, you can pick up a donated bra and then decorate it with any manner of paint, jewels, foam characters, pipe cleaners, glitter and lots of other bedazzlers. Mine was donated by our friend, and since my wife and I are ranchers,

I decorated it with an agricultural theme: golden wheat colour, green glitter grass and some little foam farm scene characters. I’m not sure if mine will be auctioned or strung up as bra garland,

but if you’re bidding, you’ll recognize it by the bright yellow sun I painted to shine on the farm scene. May the sun always shine on our friends and their families who are facing breast cancer. And may we all

do our part keep some sunshine in their lives and some gas in their tank. Ryan Taylor is a rancher, writer and senator in the state legislature from Towner, North Dakota.

Earth-Shattering, Shatter Reduction Technology The First-Ever Pod Shatter Reduction Canola Hybrid With its patented pod shatter reduction technology, InVigor® L140P provides growers with the flexibility to delay swathing or straight cut their canola, knowing that they have less risk because of the hybrid’s built-in genetic protection.

Save time, money and yield Considering the significant reductions in labour and fuel costs with less wear and tear on machinery, the benefits of straight cutting are numerous; but the biggest advantage of pod shatter reduction technology is the increased harvest flexibility you gain. With the enhanced yield protection of the InVigor pod shatter reduction hybrid, you have more freedom and flexibility in making your most crucial harvest management decisions. The ability to delay swathing or straight cut canola with minimal yield variance is what the InVigor pod shatter reduction hybrid is all about. Straight cutting and delayed swathing allows the pods to mature for a longer period of time, resulting in larger seeds, a greater pod fill and lower green seed counts.

How does L140P work? The genetic researchers at Bayer CropScience found a way to select for genotypes which silence the dehiscence gene, creating a firmer pod seal/ seam. This significantly increases the hybrid’s tolerance to in-field pod shatter, while still allowing for normal seed extraction during harvest. In addition to the built-in pod shatter reduction technology, InVigor L140P also exhibits lower levels of naturally occurring pod drop, ensuring all seeds end up in the bin – minimizing volunteer canola in following seasons. The result is considerably lower shelling levels due to pod shattering and a substantial decrease in overall pod drop. Simply put, this hybrid has greater pod adherence to the stem and a much stronger pod seal. InVigor L140P lets your canola ripen safely within the pod, firmly connected to the plant until you’re ready to harvest.

Yield protection you need Heavy moisture and increasingly common prairie wind events can prematurely split pods and shell seeds before harvest time, resulting in massive seed bank deposits and subsequent volunteer canola management issues. However, with the pod shatter reduction technology built into InVigor L140P, seeds remain safely intact inside the pod. Pod shatter technology is not 100% risk-free and growers could still expect losses under extreme weather conditions, but clearly the associated environmental risks with straight cutting are minimized with this technology.

The patented pod shatter reduction technology of InVigor L140P provides stronger adherence of the seed valve and greatly reduces the effects of pod shatter. The results are increased yield protection and greater harvest management flexibility, including the ability to delay swathing or try straight cutting. In the 2013 DSTs (Demonstration Strip Trials), straight cut InVigor L140P showed a 7% yield advantage over InVigor 5440 at normal swath timing.

The popularity of hard cider is growing. Canadian hard cider sales were 28.4 million litres last year, up 34 percent by volume over the past five years, according to Statistics Canada. By comparison, wine sales rose 13.6 percent and beef sales dropped by two percent. Big alcohol companies such as Molson and Alexander Keith’s have picked up on this trend, but small craft cideries are also popping up, including a few on the Prairies. Six manufacturers are licensed by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority to produce cider, which is made by fermenting apples. Of the six, Slow Pub in Regina is the only one currently making cider. Living Sky Winery near Perdue has stopped cider making, while Bin Brewing in Swift Current is in the development stages. Crossmount Village, a development near Saskatoon that plans to mix a retirement living community with agro-tourism, will include perhaps the largest cidery in Saskatchewan. Alberta has one manufacturer and Manitoba has none. Saskatchewan may hold the most promise, but some in the industry say bureaucracy is standing in the way of growth. Manufacturers in the province need a permit and must follow the SLGA’s cottage w iner y polic y, which includes regulations that dictate how much of the product is derived from fruit and where it can be sold. The policy also limits the SLGA’s preferential 35 cents per litre markup that is available to small cottage wineries to 45,000 litres a year. A manufacture can exceed the 45,000 litre limit but then faces the full SLGA markup. Sue Echlin of Living Sky Winery said that policy forced her company

keep making cider. “No one could make a profit making cider under the current legislation. You just couldn’t do it making 45,000 litres,” Echlin said. “Our math was you’d have to make a minimum 150,000 litres to make cider profitable, if that was all you are doing.” Echlin said the company has been discussing the issue with the SGLA for two years. “SLGA is very willing to be in discussion,” she said. “It’s certainly not a dire thing. It’s just with anything involving … poli-

cies, it takes a long time to create change.” SLGA spokesperson David Morris confirmed the discussions, but said no changes are planned Duncan McKercher, developer of Crossmount Village, said he would like to be able to produce more than 45,000 litres per year. “I think it’s disappointing from our perspective that we had to downsize what we wanted to do to meet that 45,000 litres,” he said. “I think that goes against my entrepreneurialism creativity, so to speak.”

Prairie apple growers small, but new varieties expected to boost fledgling industry BY TARYN RIEMER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It’s unclear whether prairie apple growers can produce enough apples to support the region’s burgeoning cider industry. Saskatchewan’s 20 commercial growers produce apples on 100 acres, giving it the strongest apple sector on the Prairies. Forrest Scharf, Saskatchewan Agri-

culture’s fruit crops specialist, said the University of Saskatchewan now conducts breeding and crosses, which have produced many of the varieties that grow on the Prairies, such as Prairie Sensation. The university is looking at a new rootstock that is more resistant to fire blight, which will help determine how the industry continues in the province. “They’ve also got a bunch of new varieties that were, I think, mainly

crosses between Honey Crisp and some of the better selections that were already out there. So when those are released, then, you know, I think the industry will be a bit stronger and probably grow,” said Scharf. He said the industry is growing at a moderate rate. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority’s pricing policy may also affect sector expansion. The SLGA’s preferential markup for

cottage wine and cider production is limited to 45,000 litres, but producers say cider must be produced in larger amounts to be economical. Scharf said there would be more potential for the apple sector to grow to support the cider industry if the SLGA raised the cap. Apples need long, warm summers to build up sugars and build colour, as well as well-drained, neutral PH soil and a good water source.

Manitoba’s apple production is mostly driven by hobby farmers and their 25 acres, said Anthony Mintenko, the province’s food crop specialist. Commercial production is small, but there is demand for apples and added-value apple products. Most of the apples grown in Manitoba are old varieties developed by Agriculture Canada. Newer varieties are available from Minnesota, local nurseries and the U of S.

How to make people want to do business with you THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

E

veryone knows that a strong business plan is vital, but how do you make the best plan pos-

sible? By understanding what your would-be customers really want, says Ran Goel, who learned this lesson when he founded Toronto’s Fresh City in 2011. Four years as a Wall Street investment lawyer had made him sick of greed and eager to do good. His new goal was to revolutionize the way people eat. However, his business plan was, pardon the pun, a little off the wall. “The initial idea that really animated me was creating a College Pro Painters model for farmers,” the 35-year-old says with a laugh. “And only a person who knows nothing about farmers could think that.” The idea was to give students basic training on growing produce, and use something called SPIN (Small Plot INtensive) farming to turn urban yards into tiny market gardens.

We quickly realized that’s not a viable model, and you just can’t train people to farm in just a summer. RAN GOEL FRESH CITY

“We quickly realized that’s not a viable model, and you can’t train people to farm in just a summer,” Goel says. Fresh City survived that misstep and now delivers almost 4,000 orders to more than 1,500 customers a month. Annual revenues have surpassed the $1 million mark. However, its biggest asset is its loyal customer base: people eager to have their eating habits revolutionized. Here’s why. These are busy urbanites who don’t have time for leisurely trips to the farmers market and either can’t find a community supported agriculture farm ser ving their neighbourhood or don’t find it convenient. So they shop at the big chains — reluctantly. They know much of the organic produce comes from far, far away, and those nice “local” farmers

Are there things you could do that would make it easier to attract and keep employees, or build stronger relationships with your customers and suppliers? featured in the posters above the produce bins run large operations. “What we’re being sold is intimacy, small scale, and artisan, even though it comes from a large-scale farm or is created in an industrial plant,” says Goel. “But that’s what people are seeking. So I kept coming back to this idea that if you could deliver that in a real way — as opposed to greenwashing or a marketing tactic — that would hopefully produce results.” “Deliver” is a key word here. Right from the start, the business model included online shopping and home delivery. “Part of our value proposition is convenience, offering home delivery and having a user-friendly website that adds value to the shopping experience,” he says. “But the second part is trust. That

m e a n s bu i ld i n g re lat i o n s h i p s between the people making the food and the people eating the food.” That’s why the College Pro idea was worth a try. Having young farmers growing food in yards across Toronto would have been a great way to build those relationships and promote Fresh City. The first year was bumpy because of quality and consistency issues (a basic “bag” of seasonal produce costs $31 a week), but customers stuck with the company and were joined by others. Fresh City had leased two acres of land near a subway station in Toronto’s Downsview neighbourhood, mostly so customers could visit and see how their food was grown. Its tours and educational events draw thousands annually. Goel managed to get another four

acres, and now Fresh City staff farm 60 percent of it with 18 “farmer members” working the remainder, trading their labour for rent-free plots. It’s still a work in progress and needs to expand its revenue several fold before it can be declared a success, says Goel. The company’s newest venture is an online grocery store offering its own produce and about 1,000 local and organic products ranging from baked goods and preser ves to dairy alternatives and cleaning products. “It’s hard to beat the existing players at their own game,” says Goel. “They have huge supplier networks and all those bricks-and-mortar stores, but we think that trends toward organic and local food and the fact people are increasingly shopping online gives us an opportunity

to change the way people eat.” That may sound like an ideological crusade, but it actually started with Goel asking a simple question: ‘I’d like a better option. I wonder if others would, too?’ It’s a simple concept, but hugely powerful. And it can be applied in any farm business. Would the people you rent land from like to know more about your farming practices and how you care for their land? Are there things you could do that would make it easier to attract and keep employees, or build stronger relationships with your customers and suppliers? A strong business plan is essential. The best ones offer people a compelling reason to do business with you. Archived columns from this series can be found at www.fcc-fac.ca/learning.
