Meat processors escape many foreign worker policy issues BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The meat processing sector has avoided many of the problems that other industries faced when the deadline arrived requiring tempor a r y f o re i g n w o r k e r s t o l e av e Canada. Rory McAlpine, senior vice-president of government and industry relations for Maple Leaf Foods, said the meat industry recruits foreign workers and then transitions them to permanent residency status. As a result, Maple Leaf didn’t lose employees because of the April 1 deadline. “We don’t have any workers that are immediately in jeopardy because they’re all in a state of having been approved, or are in the application process (for permanent residency),” McAlpine said.

Producers ponder planting plans Weather, input prices weigh on the minds of many as farmers wonder what to put in the ground this year BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It might be the weather, it might be the prices or it might be a combination of the two. Whatever the reasons, prairie farmers are keeping their seeding plans close to their vests and their wallets in their pockets this spring.

Agronomists and seed and fertilizer dealers say farmers have been slow to move on the necessities of spring, but products are finally starting to move. “They aren’t making up their minds really quickly this year,” said seed grower Ed Seidle of Medstead, Sask. “There is a lot of indecision out there considering what time of year it is.… Lots are getting their farm-saved

seed tested and the labs are really busy this spring.… There was a lot of poor quality crop out there and lots of seed cleaning and testing underway on the farms.” Robert Saik, who heads up Agritrend in Red Deer, said he is wondering about the delay this spring. “When will farmers pull the trigger this year. They aren’t committing early

this season, that’s for sure,” he said. “It’s not just in Alberta or Saskatchewan or Manitoba. We are seeing it in Montana and the Dakotas.” Fertilizer prices have been down compared to most of last year’s growing season, but they have been creeping up from their December lows.

HERBICIDES

U.S. institutes new restrictions on glyphosate EPA will require management plan for glyphosate to address weed resistance problems (Reuters) — U.S. regulators will put new restrictions on the world’s most w idely used herbicide to help address the rapid expansion of weeds resistant to the chemical, Reuters has learned. The Environmental Protection Agency confirmed it will require a weed resistance management plan for glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. The agency has scheduled a conference call for this week with a committee of the Weed Science Society of America to discuss what the final plan for glyphosate should entail, said Larry Steckel, a Tennessee scientist who chairs the committee. An EPA spokesperson declined to give specifics of the plan, but said its requirements will be similar to those placed on a new herbicide product developed by Dow AgroSciences. Requirements for the Dow herbicide include weed monitoring, farmer education and remediation plans. The company is required to provide extensive reporting to the EPA about instances of weed resistance and to let “relevant stakeholders” know about the difficulties of controlling them via a companyestablished website.

Monsanto spokesperson Charla Lord would not discuss whether the company was negotiating a plan with regulators, but said the company “will continue to work with the EPA to ensure proper product stewardship as we move through the regulatory process.” At least 14 weed species and biotypes in the United States have developed glyphosate resistance, which affects more than 60 million acres of U.S. farmland, according to data gathered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. weed scientists. The herbicide-resistant weeds hinder crop production and make farming more difficult and expensive. The EPA’s action comes in the wake of a finding by the World Health Organization’s cancer research unit last month that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans,” a conclusion the working group said was based on a review of years of scientific research. Testing has found residues of the herbicide in water, food, urine and breast milk. The EPA’s weed management plan will not address human health concerns, but the agency is also analyzing health data as part of a required reevaluation of the herbicide. The agency’s preliminary risk

assessment of glyphosate is expected to be released for public comment later this year, and it will publish its proposed weed management plan for public comment at the same time. Regulators in the United States and many other countries have long considered glyphosate among the safest herbicides. A review of the chemical by the German government for the European Union last year concluded that no link to cancer has been established. Monsanto, which held the patent on glyphosate until 2000 and last year sold more than $5 billion of Roundup, says it has been repeatedly proven safe. The company recently blamed “agenda-driven groups” for fueling false reports about glyphosate. However, the chemical’s critics, including environmentalists, scientists and opponents of genetically modified food, hope the WHO finding will help convince the EPA that tighter controls on the herbicide are needed, not just to prevent the growth of herbicide-resistant weeds but also to protect human health. A coalition of public interest groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Center for Food Safety, sent a letter to

EPA administrator Gina McCarthy March 26 to urge the agency to “weigh heavily” WHO’s finding as it prepares its risk assessment. How the EPA chooses to handle glyphosate is a closely watched issue for the agricultural industry. The herbicide is a key ingredient in more than 700 products and is used to control weeds in gardens, along roadsides and on millions of acres of farmland. Steckel said his committee will express some concerns in its call with the EPA. Specifically, he said the group sees shortcomings in the management plant the agency has for Dow AgroSciences and would like a glyphosate plan that allows for statespecific provisions. “We are here on the ground, and we think we could tailor things to have more impact than just one overarching plan from the federal government,” said Steckel, a row crop weed specialist at the University of Tennessee. “We have to preserve these herbicides. There really are no new ones.” U.S. farmers used at least 283.5 million pounds of glyphosate in 2012, the most recent year for which data is available, up from 110 million lb. in 2002, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Canada has now had about 100 cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea infection in hog operations, but the three western-most provinces remain free of the disease. The virus, which is almost always fatal to young piglets, has left traces on trailers in Saskatchewan and Alberta, but no hog operations have been infected, pork officials said April 2. “We’ve got no new cases of PED in Western Canada,” said Alberta Agriculture veterinary epidemiologist Dr. Julia Keenliside. “This is just super. Manitoba has had no new cases. They are still at five, and they’re cleaning those up.” The number of cases in Canada increased over the winter, which was expected, said Dr. Egan Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer. “There has been a steady number of positives coming to us from Ontario and a handful in Quebec as well,” he said. “Our cumulative total now in Canada is approximately 100 primary cases.” He defined primary cases as first site infections. If PED spread from one barn to another in the same operation, for example, the latter would be considered secondary. Continued surveillance in Western Canada has found signs of the virus on livestock trailers in Alberta and Saskatchewan, said Keenliside. Tests can identify the proteins associated with the virus, but that doesn’t necessarily mean those traces are capable of infecting hogs. A low-level PED sample was detected in Saskatchewan in February on a livestock trailer, she said during an Alberta Pork conference call. A producer inspected the trailer and rejected it as not sufficiently clean. Tests showed “the virus was there, or the protein from the virus was there, but it was at a really, really low level,” said Keenliside. The trailer had hauled pigs from Montana to Alberta, had been washed in that province and then went to a farm in Saskatchewan. It was washed again after the positive PED test and returned to Alberta to haul more pigs. Subsequent tests for PED were negative. “ That also shows the value of watching what trailers come to your farm and making sure they are tested if you think the wash job hasn’t been done properly,” Keenliside said. “In this case, I know this trailer was also used to haul other animals, sheep and cattle.” Brockhoff emphasized the wisdom of using disinfectants on transport trailers. A number of products have proven effective and a full list of those is available on the Alberta Pork website. Alberta swine veterinarians have also been exploring the possibility of virus spread by wild birds. In the United States, where PED is now considered endemic, Brockhoff said spread was much less rapid this winter than last. However, the U.S. is still reporting about 150 new cases of PED infected barns every week. barb.glen@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Pr ices have been stubbornly strong, despite the fact that some of the fundamentals that should determine the value have gone soft. That said, the Canadian dollar hasn’t been friendly to nitrogen and phosphorus. Wayne Amos of Big Dog Seeds at Oxbow, Sask., said the demand for seed has been strong, but producers are focusing on diversifying their crops. “Red lentils, sold out. Yellow peas, sold out since early January. We haven’t seen a big uptake in flax acres so far, but farmers are looking for opportunities outside of wheat and canola,” he said. “The big challenge down here is the moisture. We are facing some very wet soils. One more big snow or a couple of inches of rain and we’re back into trouble again this spring.” He said field operations will be delayed in some parts of the Prairies. “At Gainsborough, (Sask.,) they are telling me they are still three weeks from driving across a field, let alone seeding it. And that is lighter land and it tends to be early seeding over there,” he said. “I can’t help thinking that this sort of thing is playing with farmers’ psychology about getting started or committing to things early this year.” Soil moisture remains strong in most of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with the exceptions of the western Red River Valley and west-central Saskatchewan. Central Alberta also has drier conditions, but rain and snow have added missing spring moisture there. Winter precipitation was 150 to 200 percent of average in the Saskatchewan and Alberta border region, north of Swift Current, Sask. The Peace River district of Alberta and British Columbia remains dry, but the Regina Plains and eastern Saskatchewan are wet, which will slow spring seeding plans for many producers, no matter how early the weather warms. Saik said it is “more than the weather at work this year.” Farm machinery dealers and man-

ufacturers aren’t seeing brisk sales the way they did for the past five years. Charlie O’Brien of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers said it has been a slow year for farm equipment sales, except for livestock tools. “We hear that (grain) farmers are still buying what they need, but they need to have a compelling reason, such as greater efficiency or a new technology step to make that decision,” he said. Four wheel drive tractor sales were down 55 percent from last year by the end of February , and combines fell more than 60 percent. Two wheel drive tractors higher than 100 horsepower were off as well, although only 12 percent from last year. Seidle said most of the growers he has spoken with are slower to react, but he feels it’s more than one thing on their minds. “Lower commodity prices are there, sure, but most farms are penciling in a profit. I think maybe it’s just a combination of factors and they are avoiding making any mistakes and managing risk,” he said. michael.raine@producer.com

Elk producers discuss ways to deal with ‘CFIA nightmare’ BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

E D M O N TO N — Fa r m i n g i s tough, but government officials don’t make it easier when they try to assert too much control, says a Saskatchewan elk farmer and former head of the Canadian Cervid Alliance. “There is probably no one in this room and nobody in Saskatchewan who believes they have been treated fairly by CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency), particularly in the last year and a half,” Randy Wehrkamp said during a session at the Alberta Elk Commission convention about how to deal with the “CFIA nightmare.” “They are next to God when it comes to livestock management and disease management, and that is part of their arrogance and part of the problem we have. There is almost no way to deal with them other than a confrontational manner.” Wehrkamp said it gets worse if chronic wasting disease is discovered on a farm. “If you should be so unfortunate to have chronic wasting disease, regardless if you are a source farm or a traceout farm, you can expect certain things to happen. You will immediately be quarantined,” he said. CFIA will sift through previous transportation permits and review previous head test reports. As well, officials can demand other herd records. “You are treated as though you don’t have any rights. Unfortu-

nately, the general attitude is we are guilty, rather than presumed innocent.” He said elk producers can’t prevent CFIA officials from entering their farms, but they can be armed with a good understanding of the Health of Animal’s Act that guides CFIA officials. “The best weapon is knowledge of the act,” said Wehrkamp, who has helped producers through the emotional discussions with CFIA. “You cannot legally refuse them. You can stop them and ask them to come back, but you cannot refuse them. If you do, they will bring the police with them. I can give you examples of when that happened. Those situations don’t usually end up well.” Seventy-eight herds of farmed elk or deer have tested positive for CWD in Canada since 1996 and the herds have been destroyed. Wehrkamp advised farmers to insist on identification, take pictures and keep detailed notes of the visit, especially when discussions become heated. “If they are saying they are going to change your status or dispose of your animals or whatever it might be, you have to get it in writing,” he said. “You would not believe the number of times I hear from producers that ‘a CFIA inspector said....’ Do have it in writing.” Wehrkamp recommended having a second person around as a witness to listen to the discussions with CFIA. “I am not suggesting people are

intentionally misleading you. It is an emotional response to a situation, and things start to escalate,” he said. Wehrkamp also recommended talking to other elk breeders or association members to help with discussions, especially in establishing compensation for the animals. Settling on compensation is often when the conflict begins, he said. Good records for previous elk sales will help establish appropriate amounts. Wehrkamp also suggested farmers can register a formal appeal if there is a disagreement on compensation. He said every producer who has had CWD discovered in their herd and has been negotiating compensation should appeal. “When you file the appeal you are sending a message that the system is flawed and the system is wrong and you are not being treated fairly and you are going to do something about it,” said Wehrkamp, who is calling for a separate appeal process to be developed outside the courts. “It makes me so damn mad that we are treated so badly by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It infuriates me.” The CFIA was unavailable for comment. mary.macarthur@producer.com FOR MORE STORIES ABOUT ELK, SEE PAGES 14 & 26

IMMIGRATION

Meat processing sector proposes changes to express entry immigration program Retail butchers qualify for express entry, but industrial butchers do not BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canada’s meat sector has proposed a solution for the labour shortage at meat processing plants, but the federal government is still reviewing the concept. Canada began using a new system, called Express Entry, Jan. 1 to manage the immigrant application process. Express Entry changes how candidates are selected within four immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class and a portion of the Provincial Nominee Program. The government has designated certain occupations as eligible for

Express Entry because those jobs are in high demand in Canada. Retail butchers qualify for Express Entry but industrial butchers, who work at slaughter plants, do not. Rory McAlpine, senior vicepresident of government and industry relations for Maple Leaf Foods, said the distinction isn’t logical because industrial butchers perform the same tasks as retail butchers. “Years ago most of the detailed and skilled cutting of meat occurred in a retail butcher shop,” he said. “That almost doesn’t happen at all any more.” The final cutting to prepare ready to eat meat is now done primarily at a plant.

“To us, it’s kind of an anomaly that we’re recognizing retail butcher skills, but not the same … skills that are being used in a meat plant.” Representatives of Canada’s meat industry have asked officials with Citizen and Immigration Canada to include industrial butchers in the Express Entry category. McAlpine said the government hasn’t responded to the request. “We have really no indication of any immediate change,” he said. “There’s been no indication… that there’s going to be some accommodation for the agri-food industry.” robert.arnason@producer.com

“The four year limit begins at the point employment begins. So we’ve got various workers … in year one or two and they’re not in jeopardy. They’re working on getting their English language (training) and they will be moved into the permanent residency process.” The federal government changed the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2011, introducing what is known as the “four and four” rule. As of April 1, 2011, foreign workers could stay for four years but would then have to leave the country for four years before returning to Canada. The federal government introduced more restrictions to the program last June, including a 10 percent cap on the percentage of foreign employees at a company. The government took the action following media reports of companies abusing the program. Three McDonald’s restaurants in British Columbia allegedly gave more shifts to foreign workers, while a restaurant in Weyburn, Sask., fired long-time waitresses to hire foreign labour. The program restrictions will affect Alberta more so than other provinces. The federal government expects Alberta to lose more than 8,000 temporary foreign workers by summer 2016. Many of those employees work at restaurants and hotels. McAlpine said last year’s changes have hampered the meat industry’s model of transitioning foreign workers to permanent residency. After conducting a labour market assessment to demonstrate a need, companies received a two year work permit for a foreign employee. Now the work permit is limited to one year. At that point, the company must reapply for a labour market assessment. McAlpine said one year isn’t long enough to satisfy the permanent residency requirements. “That limit of one year means, effectively, the bridge to permanent residency has been severed,” he said. “We don’t want to spend a bunch of effort, bring in, recruit and train, only to find they have to leave the country and we have to repeat the cycle. That’s not sustainable.” Maple Leaf’s pork processing plant in Brandon, which at full capacity can process more than 90,000 hogs per week and employ more than 2,000 people, is short 120 workers, McAlpine said. The lack of labour is cutting into the

plant’s efficiency and profitability. “We (are) shifting labour that would otherwise be doing more value added cutting, boning and trimming to more basic roles in the plant,” he said. “The profitability of a meat plant depends on its capacity utilization and maximizing the value of the finished products particularly for export markets.” Dennis Laycraft, executive vicepresident of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said in November that meat plants on the Prairies are desperate for employees and are short 600 workers. Ron Davidson, director of international trade, government and media relations for the Canadian Meat Council, said the meat industry depends on foreign born labour because Canadians don’t want to work at slaughter plants. “We have tried to recruit Canadians, extensively and constantly,” he said. “ It’s particularly a problem for the rural areas, where the plants are located…. We don’t know what more we can do to recruit Canadians.” While the four and four rule isn’t an issue for meat processors, it’s a different story for Canada’s trucking industry. Many firms have used the TFWP to recruit skilled drivers from Europe and some may soon have to return to their home countries. Trevor Currie, owner of Gateway Carriers in Taber, a livestock hauling business, said one of his workers may have to return to Europe because of program changes, and he is already short staffed. “It’s going to be devastating to the trucking industry. We’re not going to be able to replace those workers fast enough to move the goods that need to be moved to the customer.” A backlog in the handling of applications for permanent residency has worsened the problem. About 10,000 temporary foreign workers have applied in Alberta alone. “There’s not enough people,” said Currie. “At what point do we start running out of goods in our stores?” Nearly a year after the changes, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is still controversial and continues to make headlines. In March, a Conservative MP from New Brunswick said the program allows Canadian companies to bring in “brown” people while “whities” are at home, unemployed. robert.arnason@producer.com

PULSES

Record rainfall challenges Indian crops Prairie farmers poised to see greater prices as market signals indicate significant damage to India’s pulse crop BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The wettest March in 48 years has caused extensive damage to India’s pulse crops as evidenced by rising prices, says an analyst. The average weighted rainfall for the countr y in March was 62.5 millimetres, which is 95 percent above normal. There was plenty of concern by mid-March that the rain had damaged a large portion of the chickpea crop, with some in the trade estimating a 20 percent reduction in production from 2014 because of the combination of reduced acres and rain damage. G. Chandrashekhar, associate editor of The Hindu Business Line, wrote in a recent Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ Pulse Market Report that losses to the chickpea crop caused by the excess rain were likely to be in the five to 10 percent range. That matches a report issued by India’s ministry of agriculture that said nine percent of the country’s rabi pulse crop was damaged by the rainfall. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, thinks the early March rain caused little damage to pulses, but excess rain during the last half of the month definitely took a toll on crops in the northern third of the country. When he wants to know what is happening to India’s crops, he looks at what their prices have been doing. Red lentil prices jumped by three cents per pound last week, which is highly unusual right in the midst of harvest. “That tells me the tale that they’re nervous about the size of the crop and the quality of it,” said Penner. Red lentil prices had been dropping all summer because acreage was flat and rain had been plentiful. “That momentum has completely shifted,” he said. India’s woes are starting to be reflected in new crop bids in Canada. “I’m hearing about new crop red lentil bids here at 28 to 30 cents a pound where they were 26 or 27 just a week or so ago,” said Penner. “Indian buyers are all of a sudden trying to get coverage for the first half of 2015-16.” Indian chickpea prices climbed before the rain came and are up about 30 percent since September because of a 16 percent decline in seeded acres. Penner said they recently took another step higher because of rain in late March That is a good sign for Canadian yellow pea prices, which are used as a substitute for chickpeas. Indian consultancy Agriwatch forecasts 7.9 million tonnes of chickpea production, which would be well

below the government target of 9.3 million tonnes and last year’s 9.5 million tonne crop. Penner believes Canadian growers will plant a record 3.6 million acres of lentils, which is 16 percent more than last year. That increase had him feeling rather antsy until he saw the big increase in lentil prices in India. “I’m not as nervous now about next year’s red lentil crop,” he said.“I would still say get some of the crop priced at these prices, but you don’t need to be as aggressive as before.”

Penner said red lentil prices have been steady to slightly higher in Turkey, which is Canada’s second most important market for the crop. Turkey’s crop will come off in about a month. “They’ve had such good rains all winter long, I’m almost to the point of wondering, are they getting too much because on pulses of course that’s what you have to worry about,” he said. “I haven’t heard anything. That’s just pure wondering.” Penner forecasts 4.05 million acres of peas in Canada, a seven percent increase over last year’s crop. He advises growers to sell some new crop yellow peas if they can find bids of $7.50 per bushel, but they don’t need to go overboard because of India’s chickpea issues. sean.pratt@producer.com

CHICKPEA PRICES SURGE Chana (chickpea) prices on India’s National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange rose in October and December on concerns about reduced seeded acreage. Rain in mid March damaged crops but the market impact initially was oﬀset by the start of harvest making new supply available. However, damage was compounded by continued rain, and prices appear to be reacting as April begins.

Fertilizer prices dependent on Chinese currency Investors warned that global fertilizer prices could collapse if China devalues its yuan BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A devaluation of China’s currency would be devastating to fertilizer prices, says an industry analyst. Ben Isaacson, analyst with Scotia Capital Inc., thinks investors need to be aware of the growing possibility that China will devalue the yuan. “While the house may bet against it, we think the probability is much greater than just tail risk due to a near-empty monetary toolbox,” he said in a March 30 industry comment. That would have a profound impact on fertilizer prices and Chinese demand for a variety of agricultural commodities. “Global urea, and indirectly UAN prices, would free fall instantly with ammonia largely following in sympathy,” said Isaacson. The case for devaluation is that it would allow Chinese exporters to regain lost competitiveness, boosting growth and jobs in an economy that grew at its slowest rate in a quarter century last year. There would be increased foreign direct investment and higher cost imports, which would reduce the risk of deflation. There are also plenty of arguments against devaluation, topped by the higher cost of servicing $1 trillion in foreign debt. It would also undermine China’s goal of making the yuan a more internationally desired currency. The deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China recently said China does not intend to devalue its currency, but Isaacson believes it could still happen, even though the odds are likely less than 50 percent. If it does happen, growers can expect a big drop in urea prices because China is a major exporter of the product with significant underused production capacity. A weaker yuan would allow it to undercut other suppliers. Isaacson expects global urea prices would fall to US$259 per short ton

Analysts are debating whether China will devalue its currency to stimulate exports and spark slowing economic growth. If the yuan does fall, it would help China’s fertilizer producers to flood the international market with cheaper nitrogen. Some analysts argue Beijing won’t devalue the yuan because it would weaken its efforts to make it one of the International Monetary Fund’s reserve currencies. | REUTERS PHOTO from $283 under a 10 percent devaluation scenario. The price would plummet to $230 under a 25 percent devaluation scenario. There would be a similar decline in UAN prices because North American farmers are “generally indifferent” between UAN and urea. UAN prices would fall to $196 per short ton from $213 under the 10 percent scenario and to $176 under the 25 percent scenario.

Ammonia is more independent than UAN and would not decline as much. The phosphate market would be spared because of stiff competition from India. The decline in potash demand would be swift. Jean-Phillippe Gervais, chief agricultural economist with Farm Credit Canada, agreed there is a real threat China will devalue its currency. The government is looking for ways to reignite China’s slumping econo-

my, and lower inflation rates tend to lead to declining interest rates and a weakened currency. If that occurs it could reduce demand in a top market for Canadian agricultural commodities such as canola, flax, peas and pork. China is Canada’s second most valuable agricultural market behind the United States. Fortunately, Canada opened a currency hub for China’s yuan last

month, which means traders can avoid the substantial transaction costs associated with converting everything to the U.S. dollar. It could amount to a three to four percent savings on a typical transaction. “The U.S. has more to lose with a lower Chinese currency than what we have,” said Gervais. sean.pratt@producer.com

FARM PROGRAM

Advance Payment Program changes reduce paperwork With changes now in effect, producers can apply for advances for up to 45 commodities on one form BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Canola Growers Association is pleased with changes to the federal Advance Payments Program but feels further steps need to be taken. The federal government is getting rid of red tape, expanding the commodities covered and providing more repayment options for the popular program. Starting April 1, producers can request advances for all their commodities through one application with a single administrator. There can be advances for up to 45 commodities on one form. As well, producers no longer need to be principally occupied in farm-

ing, and advances can be repaid without penalty if growers decides to wait to market their commodities until conditions are more favourable or if the product becomes unmarketable through no fault of their own. Association chair Brett Halstead applauded the changes, which he said are mostly administrative in nature. “It’s mostly just to make the paperwork a little easier,” he said. The association had requested that the government double the individual limit to $800,000, but federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said no. “It’s something that we feel is needed as farms continue to get larger and larger,” said Halstead.

“We’ve asked for any increase, but at this point in time he doesn’t see fit to do that. It’s still something we would like, but for now we’re pleased with these changes.” Farmers can receive up to $400,000 in advances with the first $100,000 interest-free and the remaining $300,000 at CIBC’s prime rate. The cash advance program is well used with close to 21,000 farmers taking out $1.9 billion in advances in 2014-15. That is up from the $1.6 billion distributed the previous year and $1.1 billion the year before that to that. “Farmers find it a quick and easy way to get cash and manage their cash flow,” said Halstead. “Obviously, if they continue to come back they must like the program.”

Other changes cannot be implemented until amendments to related regulations are completed. Future improvements include adding new commodities, such as specific classes of breeding animals intended for market. Fa r m e r s w i l l b e t r e a t e d l i k e returning clients rather than new ones to streamline the application process. They will be able to update forms with changes rather than starting from scratch every year. There will be more options for securing advances and additional repayment flexibility. As well, there can be third-party guarantors for large corporations, co-operatives and subsidiaries in lieu of each individual in the organization pro-

viding a guarantee. Halstead said farmers had a difficult time repaying 2013 advances because of that year’s rail transportation quagmire. The federal government extended the repayment deadline to March 31, 2015, from Sept. 30, 2014 to accommodate growers who were having difficulty marketing their commodities. Halstead believes the six-month extension was sufficient enough to get most growers out of the bind they were in. “I don’t know every farmer’s circumstance, but I got to think it has got to have helped 99 percent of the people,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

USDA report not enough to alter market mindset

American farmers plan to seed a record amount of soybeans and less corn this year but the shift between the two was not as great as expected. Spring wheat acreage will barely change while farmers expect to seed additional acres of minor crops.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the USDA numbers. Analysts had expected that corn, with its high seeding cost, would be a big loser in the planting intentions survey. However, the decline was less than what the trade expected. The survey showed farmers intend to seed 89.2 million acres to corn, up from the average of trader forecasts of 88.73 million acres. Last year they seeded 90.6 million acres.

Soybean acreage came in at 84.635 million, shy of expectations for 85.919 million. Last year farmers seeded 83.701 million acres. Also, the USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeding intentions survey showed farmers plan to sow 1.554 million acres of canola, down nine percent from 1.714 million last year. Wheat area is expected to be down, but that is mostly because of the smaller winter crop that was planted last fall. The intended spring wheat area, at slightly less than 13 million acres, was 300,000 acres less than what the

he U.S. Department of Agriculture reports on seeding intentions and March 1 stocks were negative for corn prices and a little supportive of soybeans. However, after the initial reaction it appears that traders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to drive corn down too far as long as there are spring weather risks. The seeding intentions report did surprise the market, showing a smaller than expected shift from corn to soybeans. However, the surprise was not large enough to make a fundamental change in the market psychology,

Excessive rain in the southern part of the U.S. corn and soybean region is delaying the start of seeding and causing speculation that the delay could cause a switch from corn to shorter season soybeans.

MOSCOW/KIEV (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mild spring temperatures and rain are creating favourable conditions for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheat crop in Russia and Ukraine, partially making up for a dry autumn. Farmers had faced cold and dry weather conditions when they seeded the 2015 winter wheat crop last autumn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recent rains in the central and south regions (of Russia) should have improved the situation,â&#x20AC;? said Dmitry Rylko, the head of the IKAR agriculture consultancy. Farmers in both countries have managed to keep the seeding area unchanged despite higher costs, which increased as local currencies weakened because of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, western sanctions over Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the crisis and weak oil prices. Conditions for winter wheat are perfect in Ukraine, said Tetyana Adamenko, head of the agriculture department at Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state-run weather centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A mild winter and spring have created ground for a good harvest.â&#x20AC;? Many analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wheat crop forecasts have been upgraded since the middle of winter because fewer plantings were lost than they originally expected. IKAR expects that Russia will harvest 56 million tonnes of wheat this year, of which 20 million tonnes will

be available for export, when the new 2015-16 marketing year starts on July 1. In January, IKAR had expected a 50 million tonne wheat crop. SovEcon, another Moscow-based consultancy, sees the wheat harvest at slightly more than 50 million tonnes, down from 60 million tonnes in 2014. Russia lost 10 percent of its winter grains after snows melted, according to Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather forecaster. Farmers are currently seeding spring grains and have already completed 3.3 percent of planned area on 2.47 million acres as of April 2, which is the same as last year. In Ukraine, the 2015 wheat harvest is likely to come in between 21 and 22 million tonnes, Adamenko said. The country harvested 24.1 million tonnes of wheat in 2014, according to official data, which is higher than most analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; estimates. One trader said he could upgrade his 2015 Ukraine wheat crop forecast by one million tonnes from his current estimate to 21.5 million tonnes thanks to favourable spring weather conditions for wheat seeding. Winter grain in Ukraine is in good or satisfactory condition on 16.56 million acres, or 85 percent of the whole area. However, 15 percent is in weak condition and .2 percent was lost after the winter, according to Ukragroconsult.

Food prices hit lowest in nearly five years Supply surplus and lower oil prices are pushing food costs down, says United Nations group ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Global food prices fell in March to their lowest in almost five years as supplies for most commodities remained robust, the Food and Agriculture Organization said. The FAO’s price index, which measures monthly changes for a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar, averaged 173.8 points last month, its lowest since June 2010 and 2.6 points below its February reading. “We have quite a bit of a supply surplus in the market, and that’s definitely creating downward pressure across the board, except on dairy prices,” FAO economist Abdolreza Abbassian said. High global production and low crude oil prices have helped cap food prices for the past year, and the index has been declining since April 2014. The FAO raised its forecast for world cereal production in 2015 to 2.544 billion tonnes, two million tonnes above the February forecast

FED STEERS AT RECORD

COWS STRONG

Canadian fed steers set a new record with a weighted average of $199.11, up $1.74 from the previous week. There were too few heifers to establish a price. Good Canadian and American demand supported the market. These record prices are well above current feedlot break-evens in Canada, but the same cannot be said in the United States, where feedlots face negative feeding margins. Sales to the U.S. were generally steady to a slight premium over local sales. Trade was too light to establish U.S. prices. Dressed bids of US$258-$263 were reported in the north, while live bids of $163 surfaced in the south. The Alberta cash-to-futures basis closed the week at -$5.42, similar to levels seen in 2008 and 2010. Fed exports over the past three weeks have ranged 6,300-7,400 head, well down from same period last year when volumes ranged 10,000-11,500 head. Many producers believe it could be the end of April or beginning of May before fed calves hit the market. Market-ready supplies remain manageable. Chicago June live cattle futures were trading above the 100-day moving average, but there was resistance at US$153.50 per hundredweight. A move to $155-$156 is likely if the market breaks through that resistance, and a revisit to the January high near $158 would be the next test.

Slaughter cows traded unevenly steady with D1,2 prices up C92 cents per cwt. while D3s slipped. D1, D2 cows ranged $135-$155 to average $145.67 while D3s ranged $117-$140 to average $128.17. Rail cow bids held mostly steady at $277-$282 per cwt. delivered. Slaughter bull prices rallied to a new record average of $162.07. Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter for the week ending March 28 slipped 17 percent to 4,068 head. Non-fed exports to March 21were steady at 4,868 head. Cow prices typically plateau in the middle of April, but increased supplies next week could hold the market steady. Seasonal demand for hamburger will be supportive.

HEAVIER FEEDERS RISE Feeder demand is outpacing supply, and fewer light calves are being offered. With small lots of varied quality, light calf prices plummeted more than C$7.50 per cwt. lower. Buyers adapted and have turned to heavier feeders. Good demand for 500-700 pound feeders pushed prices $2-$4 higher. Grass buyers bought feeders up to 800 lb., lifting the steer 700-800 lb. class by $6. Steers heavier than 800 lb. rose $1 while heifers were mixed with a substantial premium for replacement quality animals. The Alberta auction volume fell 24

percent to 21,873 head. Weekly feeder exports to March 21 rose 16 percent to 18,959 head, the most since fall 2008. Prices are expected to be well supported with increased feedlot buying interest from both sides of the border.

US BEEF UP Beef cut-out values strengthened, but packers continued to fight negative margins. Weekly beef cow slaughter volumes during March ranged from 41,500 to 42,800 head, the smallest seen this year.

U.S. BEEF HIGHER US boxed beef prices closed the week higher with Choice at US$255.94 and Select at US$250.46 Buyer interest is expected to improve in April as people fire up their barbecues. Weekly Canadian cut-out values to March 21 saw AAA fall 69 cents to $306.51 while AA climbed $2.24 to $305.71. The cutouts are 23-25 percent above year ago levels, and the AAAChoice spread at -$6.60 has improved considerably from last year’s -$21.59.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES STEADY U.S. cash hog prices steadied last week but remained under pressure from ample supply and unimpressive demand. Some slaughter plants closed for Good Friday, reducing the weekly slaughter total. Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$43 per hundredweight April 2, steady with March 27. U.S. hogs averaged $57.12 on a carcass basis April 2, up from $55.28 March 27. The U.S. pork cutout dropped to $64.44 April 2, down from $65.35 per cwt. March 27. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to April 4 was 2.199 million, down from 2.270 million the previous week. Slaughter was 2.014 million last year at the same time. Workers at Olymel’s Vallee-Jonction, Que., plant have voted to return

CRAIG’S VIEW

MARKETING

Grain quality oversight must involve farmers

ustomer complaints about Canadian wheat quality are a concern, but they were to be expected as this country negotiates an enormous change in its wheat marketing and sales system. The situation can be fixed through better communication between seller and buyer and changes in wheat grading, which are already under discussion. The chances of success will increase if the industry recognizes that Canada’s marketing system ranges all the way from the farmers who grow the wheat to the millers, bakers and people who consume it. Here is the problem: several international wheat buyers have voiced concerns about what they see as shortcomings in Canadian wheat since the end of the CWB monopoly. The complaints range from underweight shipments and contamination with other grain types to lower-than-expected protein content and gluten strength. The complaints are far from widespread, but for a wheat exporter proud of its reputation of superior quality and customer service, they are troubling. As Benjamin Franklin said, “it takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” Several developments help explain what is happening, starting with bad weather at harvest, which downgraded wheat crops. Canadian wheat exporters have a range of sizes and geographic spread, but none can claim the complete coverage of the old monopoly CWB, which could draw on grain from every part of Western Canada. This gave it the ability to draw grain from various regions and make sure it was best suited to match a customer’s needs. The rail logistics shortfalls of the last two years compounded this problem, and Canadian Grain Commission changes might also have contributed to the issue.

And perhaps the biggest culprit is the fact that since late 2012, exporters have had the option to certify a cargo based either on the composite vessel sample or from each incremental 2,000-tonne load. The incremental approach helped guarantee a uniform quality throughout the ship’s load, but it was slow and costly. Composite loading is cheaper and quicker but allows deviation from specifications, so long as the composite sample from the whole vessel meets the requirements. It means quality can vary between each of a ship’s holds, which appears to have been inadequately communicated to buyers who might, in the past, have become used to getting better than expected quality from CWB as it worked to win market share from competitors. Exporters are correct to say they should not give away quality by routinely exceeding contractual requirements. However, they must also follow up with millers and bakers to ensure they are getting what they want. Problems with low gluten levels will be addressed with plans to tighten Canada Western Red Spring wheat criteria and shift varieties with weaker gluten to a new category. It is comforting that existing agencies, including the grain commission, the Canadian International Grains Institute, exporters and new bodies such as Cereals Canada and provincial wheat commissions, are adopting a Team Canada approach to communicate directly with customers. Farmers must have a strong voice on this team because it is their hard-won reputation and income that are on the line. Grain companies are only the middlemen and must be monitored.

TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER PROGRAM

Conservatives handling of foreign worker issue lacks compassion CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

hey came seeking the Canadian dream. For years, foreign workers have worked in jobs Canadians didn’t want: on farms and in processing plants, hotels and restaurant kitchens. They helped keep both rural communities and the national economy afloat. These workers send every extra penny back home to their families, where those hard earned dollars mean an education for their children, clothes on their families’ backs, food in their relatives’ bellies and a sturdy roof over their loved ones’ heads. Their employers, especially Cana-

dian farmers, can’t pile on the praise fast enough. The foreign workers are hardworking, genuine, dedicated and dependable, their employers say, which is high praise from folks who aren’t known to mince their words. More than one farmer has said they wish the workers could stay and become a permanent part of their farm family. Many have spent thousands of dollars on attempts to keep their workers, while others express frustration over the lack of available avenues to permanent residency. The workers who are leaving are their operations’ best and often most experienced employees, farmers and processors lament. They are an integral part of local communities, which were once built by immigrants. The problem is the Canadian government doesn’t want these “lowskilled” workers to stay. As of April 1, “low-skilled” temporary foreign workers who have been in Canada for four years or more

must leave Canada for at least four years before they can return to work. The rule is said to affect tens of thousands of foreign workers, an estimated 16,000 in Alberta alone. The federal Conservatives insist the rule, which was part of a series of changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2011, is designed to ensure “Canadian workers have access to Canadian jobs.” The government insists that employers had four years to prepare for the impending exodus of foreign workers. Employers who are short workers should “raise wages and hire Canadians” to fill the void, employment minister Pierre Poilievre told reporters April 1. Companies wanting to keep their foreign workers should have applied for permanent residency, ministers and government media hacks insist, even though there is no federal pathway for low-skilled workers. As for provincial pathways, only Alberta allows applications for all low-skilled workers, while Saskatchewan recently streamlined its

program to make it easier for farmers to keep agriculture workers. Ontario is seeking permission to do the same. Poilievre and immigration minister Chris Alexander have repeatedly issued statements warning that foreign workers who “go underground” will be found and prosecuted under Canadian law. It’s worth noting that the warning was first issued in response to an investigative report by iPolitics that found unscrupulous immigration consultants were preying on vulnerable foreign workers who are about to be sent home, charging them thousands of dollars for the false promise of permanent residency. The federal Conservatives promised to crack down on fraudulent immigration consultants in 2012. The political rhetoric is clearly an attempt by the government to save face after it took a sledgehammer to the program. The changes were a response to a handful of scandals that triggered much public anger about the way the

program was being run. What the Conservatives didn’t realize was those changes would have disastrous consequences for Canada’s billion-dollar agriculture industry, where labour continues to be in tight supply across the value chain. This shortage severely affects the party’s political base in an election year. The federal Conservatives’ campaign message is that they are the party that best protects “Canadian values.” The party’s handling of the foreign worker file tells a different story: one where those Canadian principles have been trampled upon for shortterm political gains at the expense of an extremely vulnerable population that wants nothing more than a chance at the Canadian dream. The Conservatives pride themselves on being guardians of Canada’s moral code. Isn’t compassion an integral part of it? Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

Canadian wheat not in decline: officials

Producer staff recognized for top journalism

BY WADE SOBKOWICH, JOANN BUTH, CAM DAHL, AND GARY STANFORD

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

he Western Producer recently published comments from an international grain broker that led the paper to ask the question, “is Canadian wheat in decline?” We are pleased to answer that question with an unequivocal “no.” In fact, it is quite the reverse. The wide-ranging comments brought up questions on logistics, grain grading and return to Canadian farmers. We would like to deal with those issues in turn. There is no question that the transportation and logistics failures in 2013-14 hurt Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier of consistent high quality wheat. Customers and governments have been reassured by the actions taken to clear the backlog and fill contracts, but it is clear that we cannot afford to see another year like 2013-14. On this front we would agree with the buyer. The grain broker also expressed concern regarding changes made to the Canadian Grain Commission’s vessel certification process. Before last year, the commission required every 2,000 tonnes of grain going into a vessel to meet precise specifications. This is commonly referred to as “incremental certification.” If one 2,000 tonne interval is out of specification, the grain must either be removed or certified to a lower grade. This approach to certification does ensure uniform loading of the entire vessel, but it is also time consuming and expensive. Starting last year, the grain com-

Industry officials say the Canadian Grain Commission’s new composite certification option to the vessel certification process ensures customers get the quality of wheat they require at the best price. | FILE PHOTO mission offered the Canadian industry and customers a more efficient and less costly option: composite certification. Under this option, individual increments can deviate slightly from specifications as long as the composite sample for the whole vessel meets the requirements. There is an absolutely critical word in the above paragraph: option. Incremental certification is still available if customers wish to continue using it. This is one of the key information pieces that the new Team Canada delivered when visiting 20 countries as part of the new crop missions this past fall. Team Canada is a collaboration between Cereals Canada, the Canadian International Grains Institute, the grain commission, provincial c ro p c o m m i s s i o n s, C a n a d i a n exporters and farmers. It provides customers around the world with a comprehensive valuechain overview of how Canadian

wheat will perform and the changes to the Canadian system that will ensure that customers in every region of the world get exactly what they want when they want it. However, delivering what the customer orders does not mean selling our premium quality wheat at a discount. The broker interviewed by the Western Producer stated that in the past he would consistently get better than what he ordered. He would pay for a No. 2 and receive No. 1. It is not a bad thing if this is not happening anymore. It is not in Canadian farmers’ interest for us to be the discount outlet for premium wheat. As an industry, we must strive to gain the maximum value for everything that Canadian farmers grow. Gaining maximum value means delivering the quality that customers demand and pay for. The Canadian grain industry has rapidly evolved over the past years. We believe that these changes bene-

fit all parts of the value chain and are helping us meet the needs of tomorrow’s customers rather than the markets of the past. The comments reported by The Western Producer do demonstrate the need to have open lines of communications with customers in all parts of the world. This is why the Team Canada approach was launched. We will continue to reach out to develop new markets and support existing markets when they choose to buy Canadian quality. The Maple Leaf will continue to be the symbol for premium quality in every region of the world.

FARM POLICY

Waiting for other shoe to drop as issues simmer HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

t’s a bit like suspended animation. We’re at one of those rare times when a bunch of grainrelated issues are simmering, but nothing is at the boiling point. The grain transportation crisis, while still in the news, has eased since the 2013-14 crop year. Movement has improved somewhat to bring us back to the mediocre service we’ve come to expect. The Canada Transportation Act is under review, but that isn’t going to be completed until the end of the year, and any action is much further away. Grain prices are down substantially from their highs of a few years ago, but prices aren’t terrible. Profitable

cropping options ex ist for the upcoming growing season, and there has been ample opportunity to lock in some of those attractive prices. Where prices go from here seems to be anyone’s guess. Different analysts have different interpretations. For most of the past decade, there has been a strong correlation between grain prices and crude oil values. However, over the past six months, grain hasn’t followed the dramatic decline inflicted upon crude oil. The two now seem decoupled. The drop in oil has cut the value of the Canadian dollar. That’s a benefit for agricultural exports, while imported inputs cost more. Fertilizer prices are high, partly as a result of currency, but values are not exploding. No imminent shortages are apparent for any of the major crop inputs. Unlike many recent springs, flooding isn’t a widespread issue. In fact, many prairie regions have had well below normal winter precipitation. Dryness could become a concern in some areas, but we aren’t at that

point yet. At this juncture, spring seeding would appear to be on track for a normal start. With commodity prices backing off, the upward pressure on land prices appears to have eased a bit. Reports out of the United States indicate dropping land values in the corn belt, but there is little evidence of that here. We’ll have a better idea of what happened with 2014 land values in Canada when Farm Credit Canada releases its next evaluation. There’s no news yet on CWB privatization. CWB continues to build the new facilities it has announced, but its future partner is still unknown. When that deal becomes public, there will be no shortage of commentary and probably controversy. The world economy appears fragile, and there’s the ever-present geopolitical risk from the Middle East and Russia. Those could certainly affect agriculture. Federal and provincial elections are approaching, but agriculture seems destined to be an afterthought in the campaigning. Changes in gov-

ernment would mean changes in ag policy, but those sorts of debates are not imminent. Will this be the year when some areas go from too much moisture to not enough? Will grain prices slip another couple notches and tighten up the farm economy? Will some black swan event such as a trade embargo emerge? Will disease issues in canola and/or pulse crops reach even more troublesome proportions? The cattle sector continues to set new price records. Profitability for cow-calf producers has never been better, and the good times are likely to persist for the foreseeable future. Within the grain sector, it’s not normal for things to be so normal, so uneventful. This relative calm is unlikely to last. Typically, the grain sector has an overriding issue or two with wideranging ramifications, and we can expect that to be the case again sooner rather than later.

In “Environmental policy must favour common sense, not fear,” Barb, who is based in our Lethbridge bureau, discussed the effects of a federal emergency protection order for sage grouse, and what it means to landowners. In her editorial, “Federal funding adds credibility to animal welfare research,” Barb expressed disappointment at Ottawa’s retreat from animal welfare research. The category was judged by Bloomberg News reporter Joe Carroll. And our markets reporter, Ed White, who is based in our Winnipeg bureau, was given an honorable mention for three columns. In “Railways need crop forecasting assistance to plan ser vice,” Ed expressed his dismay that railway companies are too reliant on government estimates of crop sizes. In “Profits will be harder to find in future markets,” Ed warned that pending financial markets for farmers is “not nice, it’s not easy and it will destroy some….” And in “Farmers need first-hand market assessment,” White observed that “it’s possible that Canada has thrown away its grain quality advantage and farmers don’t even know it.

POOR SERVICE THE NORM

Letters should be less than 300 words. Name, address and phone number must be included for verification purposes and only letters accepted for publication will be confirmed with the author.

Open letters should be avoided; priority will be given to letters written exclusively for the Producer. Editors reserve the right to reject or edit any letter for clarity, brevity, legality and good taste. Publication of a letter does not imply endorsement by the Producer.

When shipping grain, many farmers express disappointment with the current rail service. About 1998, the railways awarded the shipping of other products priority over the movement of grain. An agency, working on behalf of farmers, estimated how much farmers lost due to the lack of service. A court case decided farmers should be compensated for their financial loss. In losing the case, CP Rail ended up paying a hefty fine on top of their share of the damages. CN Rail grudgingly paid its share.

After this happened, with the Canadian Wheat Board the watchdog, grain movement went relatively smoothly. Since the CWB was dissolved, farmers and grain shippers report mega problems obtaining rail cars. The federal minister of agriculture endorsed regulations to get the railways moving grain more efficiently. Why, even with these regulations, is poor service the norm for Saskatchewan farmers? Were the regulations designed by the railways for their financial benefit? Was the minister afraid the railways would have him fired if he did not approve the regulations?

TRIP OF A LIFETIME To the Editor: Our “green” trip-of-a-lifetime from home on Vancouver Island to Europe means keeping our carbon emissions low — which means burning less fossil fuels. So Margaret and I bought passenger train tickets to the east coast of North America, then cargo freighter tickets to the west coast of Europe — avoiding airplanes, which churn out huge amounts of greenhouse gases. But our plan to go by VIA Rail was derailed by crashed and burning oil tanker cars in northern Ontario — an excessive response of the fossil fuel

industry, I thought, just to annoy two carbon busters. Undaunted, we got a refund from Via and bus tickets to Seattle — the greenest way to travel short of bicycling. From there we boarded an Amtrak train to Buffalo. And since all that inconvenience was cheaper than Via, maybe we had the last laugh.

recent Robert Arnason story examined why the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association continues to lobby for an exemption from the ban on importing American bees to Canada. The story, titled Manitoba apiarists want end to bee import ban, was published in the March 19 edition of the paper, but it wasn’t until this week that a comment was submitted, which I thought added useful information to the story. A reader identifying himself as Jeff Lee writes: “Unfortunately, this story fails to mention that the federal government, after a significant risk assessment, concluded that the border should remain closed to package imports from the U.S. for four reasons. It didn’t ‘deny’ Manitoba’s request. It considered the entire Canadian bee industry in its assessment… “The second thing that needs to be said is that beekeepers in British Columbia aren’t ‘hesitant.’ Through the B.C. Honey Producers Association, they have repeatedly voted to support the federal government’s closure of the border to package bees from the U.S., for sound reasons. They have also conveyed that position to the Canadian Honey Council numerous times. There is no hesitancy on that point. This is not a matter of small beekeepers versus big ones. There are legitimate concerns here about the impact of opening the border to U.S. packages. “No one here likes the fact we have to pay $180 or more per package to get bees from New Zealand, but there is also no guarantee that American package suppliers would be any cheaper. They already have significant domestic demand. “One only has to look at the current CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

OPINION » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Not to worry, Margaret kicks me in the shins if I get too boisterous. And I did get a tad agitated when an oil driller from the fracking area of North Dakota described his job with undiluted enthusiasm; but I listened quietly — no screaming or kicking — and heard him say that humans had sure made a mess of the Earth to extract its resources. So he kind of glimpsed the problem — well, maybe he glimpsed my Green Party button. As for scenery, trains are closer to the ground than planes. It’s March 16 (as I write), and yet we saw flooding rivers in the Rockies, dry prairie grasslands in Montana, and a temperature of 22 C in Chicago — unusually early events, and a headsup on the climate-change crisis. Train travel provides other unpleasant lessons for a climate

change activist. Constant delays occur while we sit on sidings waiting for on-rushing oil tanker cars. Rail freight companies in the U.S. and Canada own the tracks, so passenger trains routinely get sidetracked — literally. Oil tankers are rushing to both coasts, replacing oil pipelines that activists have stalled — or so we like to think — and too often they burn like giant black turds. We must be accountable for our own wastes; if we demand fossil fuels, the drilling and fracking and mining will continue. We need to lead our fumbling politicians. For example, B.C.’s premier Clark fantasizes, for political reasons, that liquefied natural gas LNG terminals will contribute to a sustainable future. They will not. Fracked gas looks clean, but it’s as dirty as those blackened oil tankers on a track hur-

tling towards climatic disaster. You and I can be leaders by minimizing our use of fossil fuels in all aspects of our lives. So when we travel, Margaret and I use fuel-efficient trains — crossing rivers in Minnesota devastated by bitumen from Alberta. Peter Nix, North Cowichan, B.C.

(MRE), a policy that is currently under examination by the Canada Transportation Act Review process led by an appointed chair and expert advisory panel. The MRE is a contentious policy: vilified by the railways, but supported by the vast majority of grain interests and western provincial governments. At its core, the MRE is a policy response to the lack of market forces in the Western Canadian grain transportation system. Making casual remarks regarding a policy that has the potential to fundamentally alter the structure of grain pricing that will affect every Canadian producer, as they will absorb the majority of the cost associated with any change, is inappropriate at this time. The policy is undergoing study and the review will make recommendations by the end of 2015. Additionally,

the assertion that the grain backlog is “coming back into equilibrium” does not capture the complete picture. While carryout has returned to normal levels, overall Western Canadian grain shipping performance, as reported by the Ag Transport Coalition, is still showing significant unfulfilled net demand. Although not citing a specific position on the policy, it is inappropriate for the minister to publicly foreshadow potential outcomes, based on personal economic viewpoint, without the benefit of analysis, facts and the strategic consideration of the review.

The normal California supply has dried up as suppliers look to domestic demand. Imports from Hawaii are delayed. It is difficult to even source decent numbers of queens from New Zealand and Australia. Part of this is because CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) had consolidated its offices into one office back east for the purposes of approving livestock imports. Deadlines were missed and for those of us who need bees to meet the early pollination deadlines, the result is unsatisfactory. “However, British Columbia beekeepers are very much sympathetic to the concerns of prairie beekeepers. We understand the difficulty they face and would like to work collaboratively towards a solution. But opening the door to one province while keeping it closed to others isn’t a useful solution. B.C., for example, plays winter host to a lot of prairie colonies, primarily from Alberta. There are jurisdictional and practical matters that need to be considered.” The On the Farm article in the April 2 edition of The Producer, titled Ontario farmer carves niche business in mink, describes an Ontario mink farm that sells largely to Chinese customers. A few readers were offended by the mink fur industry. One such reader who identifies themselves as Animal Lover had this to say about the article: “The Dutch senate has it right: it is immoral to keep animals in small cages for an unnecessary luxury product. Millions of animals will suffer and die before the Chinese understand that the only status a fur coat gives them is the distinction of being backwards, imitative and cruel, culturally unimaginative, and at odds with the rest of the world.” A commentator identifying himself as Terry Vourantonis responded to the Animal Lover comment with this: The Dutch government authorizes the killing of multitudes of muskrat to protect their dikes, but if you wear a muskrat hat you are a murderer.

ALBERTA ELK COMMISSION

Elk farmers want into export market The Alberta Elk Commission is working with a group in Korea to reopen that country’s border BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — The president of the Korea Deer Breeders Association recently visited Canada to demonstrate the growing good will between the two countries. “Between us as Korean deer farmers and Canadian elk farmers, we will be talking together to make a better relationship as better farmers for a better future for both of us,” said YuHwan Chung through an interpreter. Chung raises about 450 elk on two farms in South Korea. Alberta Elk Commission chair Connie Seutter met Chung during a recent trade mission to South Korea, where they forged a memorandum of

understanding between the Canadian and Korean elk industries. The two organizations have yet to sign the memorandum, but they have agreed to exchange technology, best farm practices, research and development of unique technologies and semen to improve genetics. The memorandum also included working with both governments to reopen markets to elk antler velvet, processed antler and live animal and meat export. Canada has been locked out of the lucrative South Korean elk market for 14 years. Korea closed its border to Canadian elk products in December 2000 after an elk exported from Canada later tested positive for chronic wasting disease.

Elk producers have lobbied Canadian officials to help reopen the border, but there has been little willingness from Korea to do so. “When the topic of the MOU came up, I was blown away,” Seutter told elk producers at their convention. Korea’s 4,000 elk farmers raise 20,000 elk that produce 100 tonnes of green elk velvet a year. They import another 500 tonnes and still can’t fill demand. Seutter said she had received nothing but negative information from the Canadian trade office in the weeks leading up to her trade mission to South Korea, including a phone call that the Koreans didn’t want Seutter visiting their country. “They were telling me, ‘I don’t know why you’re coming, they don’t want you here. They don’t like you and in fact they hate you so I don’t know why you’re wasting your time,’ ” she said. Seutter met with Chung during the organized trade event and later travelled to Chung’s farm, where the pair hammered out the memorandum of understanding between the two industries. “This is a really special moment today to have Mr. Chung here with such a desire to work with our industry,” she said while introducing Chung. Chung said Korean elk producers want to reopen the border to Canadian elk and elk products. “We need to develop new producers plus need to expand the number of deer (which is what elk are called

barriers to trade. A second trip to Korea and China is planned to formalize the agreement and discuss future trade opportunities. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Alberta elk herd shrinks despite favourable prices BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Meat prices for elk are up, but the number of animals in the province continues to drop at an alarming rate, says the head of an elk meat co-op. There were only 12,622 elk in Alberta in December, including calves, which is down significantly from a high of 43,000 in 2003. “That is a decline that is not good for the industry long term in any way shape or form,” said Gerald Sam of the Alberta Wapiti Products Co-op. Keeping elk only for antler production rather than increasing the herd is a disturbing trend, said Sam. The 2,600 live elk calves that are

We’re going the wrong direction. GERALD SAM ALBERTA WAPITI PRODUCTS CO-OP

born to the province’s 4,700 females, not counting two year olds, produces a 50 percent calving rate. “We need to get people putting the bulls in with their elk. It does no good to have animals on the farm. If you have animals on the farm and do nothing with them, how can you expect to pay your bills,” Sam told a recent Alberta Elk Commission meeting. “I know there are farms in Sask-

atchewan and Alberta that are doing nothing with their animals. Put the bull in. There is a market out there. There are people looking for them. We will buy them.” Sam said consumers around the world want Canadian elk meat and can’t get it because of the dwindling numbers of animals. “We have markets we cannot supply because we cannot get animals.” In 2014, 2,467 elk were born in the province, 1,678 animals were slaughtered for meat, 836 were exported and 505 died, resulting in a net loss of 552 elk. “We’re going the wrong direction. We need to start producing animals,” Sam said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

ST. LAWRENCE SHIPPING

CWB’s first ship runs aground BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new ship owned by CWB has had an inauspicious start to its life as a Great Lakes hauler. CWB Marquis opened the St. Lawrence Seaway’s shipping season April 2 but ran aground the following day near Beauharnois, Que., southwest of Montreal. The ship was hauling its inaugural payload, 29,000 tonnes of iron ore pellets bound for Hamilton, Ont., when it hit an ice floe and ran aground. A spokesperson with the Transportation Safety Board said tugboats freed the vessel the same day. The ship continued under its own power and was expected to arrive in Hamilton April 6, where it was to be inspected for damage. The ship is scheduled to pick up its first load of CWB grain at Thunder Bay, Ont., later this month. Safety board officials said information gathered from the ship’s crew last weekend will be assessed, and the board will then determine if a further investigation is warranted. The CWB Marquis is one of two

laker-sized vessels that CWB commissioned in 2011 shortly before Ottawa terminated its single desk marketing mandate for wheat, durum and malting barley. The ships were ordered by the board’s farmer-elected directors, who were removed from power in late 2011. CWB Marquis was built in China and arrived in Canada late last year. After spending the winter in the Montreal area, it was the first ship to pass through the Saint Lambert Locks at Saint Lambert, Que., April 2, which marked the beginning of the St. Lawrence Seaway’s 2015 shipping season. Ownership of the CWB Marquis

and the second CWB ship — the CWB Strongfield — is the subject of an ongoing legal dispute. Ottawa and current management at CWB say the organization and its assets are government-owned. Western Canadian farmers who are part of a class-action lawsuit dispute the claim. They are hoping to have t h e i r a r g u m e n t s h e a rd by t h e Supreme Court of Canada. CWB Marquis is managed and operated by Algoma Central Corp. CWB Strongfield has yet to arrive in Canada, but it is expected to be operating on the Great Lakes later this year. brian.cross@producer.com

FEEDLOT GUIDE

Cattle feeders to test plan for crisis scenarios BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canada’s cattle feeding sector is refining an emergency preparedness plan designed to guide feedlot owners in the event of disease outbreak or other disaster. Alberta cattle feeders will initially test the plan, but the goal is to eventually turn it over to the National Cattle Feeders’ Association for use as a blueprint in other provinces. Casey Vander Ploeg, manager of policy and research with the national association, said the plan will be a first for the sector and will attempt to address a variety of emergencies. “It’s not just disease, although that’s probably the scariest one. But what happens if a tornado blows through? That’s an example. Or flooding.” Vander Ploeg said a committee comprising feedlot operators, industry representatives, emergency responders, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and provincial governments have drafted a plan that lays out the steps to take during a crisis. It outlines responsibilities of feedlot operators, lists measures to be taken and includes contacts and issues surrounding quarantine. “It’s bringing all those partners together around how to manage that emergency and set out a plan, set all the steps out in case something happens,” said Vander Ploeg. The draft was to be tested April 8 in Lethbridge. Feedlot owners and others planned to assume two or three scenarios and go through the plan to see if it adequately addresses them. After that, the plan will be tested with the CFIA, provincial and federal government personnel, emergency responders and association staff. barb.glen@producer.com

GRAIN MOVEMENT

Shipping group fears return to poor rail service

Mandate ends but scrutiny continues

Grain industry official says he feels there is still a void and legislation is required BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The head of an organization that represents Western Canada’s largest grain shippers says he is not surprised by Ottawa’s decision to end mandatory volume requirements for the country’s major railways. Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevators Association, said weekly grain movement targets were not intended as a permanent solution to rail service concerns. However, removing the targets puts

grain shippers back to square one when it comes to dealing with Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway. “We are left with a void in the sense that nothing has changed in the competitive environment and nothing has changed in the policy environment,” Sobkowich said. “That’s why it’s very important that the government enact legislation after the recommendations come in from the CTA review panel.” T h e f e d e ra l g ov e r n m e nt a n nounced March 28 that it would not renew an order in council requiring

railways to haul minimum weekly amounts of western Canadian grain. Canada’s major railway companies welcomed that decision. CN’s Mark Hallman said in an email that the company supports the federal government’s decision, adding “Canada’s grain supply chain is fully back in sync in all corridors.” He said CN moved an average of 4,650 grain hoppers a week in Western Canada between Aug. 1 and March 21, which was 20 percent more than during the same period in 2013-14. “In the 12 month-plus period since the first government (order) … CN’s

cumulative tonnage of western grain has exceeded its mandated volumes by nearly three million metric tonnes, or more than 12 per cent,” he said. The company said normal commercial relationships and a stable regulatory framework will benefit the railway industry and shippers. The response from CP was more reserved. “CP is proud to be a crucial link in the supply chain that moves Canadian goods to the world’s markets,” it said in an email.

For the first time in more than a year, the service that railways provide to western Canadian grain shippers won’t be subject to federal fines. T h e f e d e r a l g ov e r n m e n t a n nounced March 28 that weekly grain targets will no longer be used to ensure that Canada’s railways are adequately serving the country’s grain shippers. In a prepared statement, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the order in council could be reinstated if required, adding that Ottawa will continue to monitor performance. But even without weekly targets in place, Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway are facing more scrutiny than they were a year ago. In addition to last week’s announcement on mandatory volume requirements, Ottawa confirmed that information gathered by the Grain Monitoring Program has been improved. Last year, Ottawa announced plans to beef up the program, which was established in 2001 to monitor the overall efficiency of the prairie grain handling and transportation system. Changes to the program’s mandate will result in new data that measures: • The movement of western Canadian grain by rail to the United States, Mexico and Eastern Canada. • The movement of American grain to Canadian destinations. • The size of the railway fleet currently being used to serve the grain industry. • The amount of time that port terminals are unable to unload rails cars because of a lack of staff or cars. Quorum Corp., contracted to collect and compile data for the monitoring program, is also working on a system to measure rail car order fulfillment. Quorum will also begin reporting Grain Monitoring Program data weekly and monthly, which replaces previous quarterly reporting requirement. The first weekly report, which covers Week 33 of the 2014-15 crop year, was posted April 1. Information in that report showed year-to-date rail car unloads at western port locations were up 21 percent from the same period last year. Western country elevator stocks during the past 15 weeks were consistently higher than five-year average levels but consistently lower than last year. Vessel lineups at Vancouver increased to 16 vessels in Week 34, up from a historical average of eight to 12 and vessel counts at Prince Rupert, in northern B.C., increased to seven, up from an historical average of two or three.

start talking about it openly, others will be empowered to do the same. You can really become a leader,” he said. “Compassion changes things. Talking leads to healing.” In his classroom, he starts each day by having students pick two emotions from a feelings chart. That allows him to check in on what’s going on in everyone’s life. Talking circles can also encourage discussion. Oxycontin and fentanyl use has been in the news recently, but Kehler said users will seek out what’s locally available. Marijuana and alcohol remain among the most commonly used. “With addictions, it’s about numbing and escaping from a painful reality,” he said. Kehler said drug use affects the entire classroom because many are unsure what to do or how to approach the affected person. “If we can allow them to feel good about themselves, then there’s less incentive to turn to drugs,” he said.

Students, some only in Grade 2, filed up to the podium one by one last week at the National Congress on Rural Education in Saskatoon. They were there to share their academic and personal goals with dozens of strangers attending the conference. The students are all participants in Loreburn Central School’s Leader in Me program, which is designed to instill self-confidence, develop leadership skills, encourage goal setting and prioritize tasks for the kindergarten to Grade 12 school in Loreburn, Sask. For Grade 6 student Rhian Dorward, that means improving her multiplication skills by working on sheets every night before bed. She is also involved in a club that holds regular meetings, does fundraising to buy equipment for the school and runs a concession stand at schools events. “No suggestion is a bad one,” she said. Her mother, Stacey, said the program has led both Rhian and her sister, Jordyn, who is in Grade 4, to get more involved. “I’ve noticed a big difference in confidence, and they seem to know exactly what they need to do within the school,” she said. “They just seem to lead a little bit more instead of being followers … accept everybody as individuals and that everybody’s opinion counts.” Heather Norrish, who has taught at Loreburn School for 25 years, said the program has had positive results with students learning to interact with one another and solve problems. “Kids take charge of their own lives rather than having someone always telling them what needs to be done,” she said. “They set focus on what’s important and get those things done first.” O n e b oy i nt e re s t e d i n ro d e o approached the school administration with his idea to add a roping activity to the playground, advising officials of the equipment costs and how it would work. The equipment was later bought and the boy led students through their roping lessons. “He had purpose and was proud of it,” Norrish said. “It was an opportunity for him to do something good.” Leader in Me draws on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, written by educator Stephen Covey: • Be proactive. • Begin with the end in mind. • Put first things first. • Think win-win, mutual benefit. • Seek first to understand. • Synergize, creative co-operation. • Daily self renewal.

EDUCATION

Teachers a key source of support Educator says teachers must help students address mental health and drug issues YOUTH HEALTH

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Teachers can play an important support role for students battling substance abuse simply by listening to them. Allan Kehler, speaking at the National Congress on Rural Education in Saskatoon last week, suggested starting the conversation with, “I don’t mean to pry, but I just wanted to let you know I am concerned.” “The most important thing we can provide is our ears,” he told teachers. “Open your door and when they enter, just listen and acknowledge the courage it took to enter.” Teachers should know their students as people, look beneath their actions, create an environment of trust, safety and compassion and be aware of available resources, Kehler said. “Sometimes academics have to come second,” he said. Kehler, an instructor at the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technology who wrote Stepping Out From the Shadows, knows first-hand the

challenges for young people with addictions. He grew up battling mental illness and addictions in a Saskatchewan town of less than 300. Grade 11 was when things got worse for him, a time when not one teacher approached him. At his lowest point, he was given one month to live if he didn’t make a change. He urged teachers to get to know students beyond the classroom and maintain an open door policy with them. “If you feel there’s a problem, there probably is,” said Kehler, who encouraged teachers to trust their instincts.

Kids acting out are in pain, he said. Warning signs include changes in peer groups and activities, mood swings, deterioration of physical appearance, delayed speech or confusion, glassy, bloodshot eyes and unusual smells on the breath or clothing. Young people have a problem if they use drugs alone, if they think about them regularly, if booze is needed to have a good time in social situations or if they feel guilty about using drugs. Kehler said there are fewer resources in rural regions, but it only takes one person to create a group such as a 12 step program. “When you have the courage to

way it was,” said Rumpel. When his father died in 1993, Rumpel decided to be the one to continue his father’s legacy. With his mother, Justina, in charge of wrapping and bookkeeping, the pair built Rumpel Farms Abattoir into a busy enterprise. “Right now, I’m booked three months in advance. I’d like to hire someone, but there’s really no one out there going into meat cutting,” said Rumpel. Louise Malowany has been a customer of Rumpel Farms for more than 30 years. “There’s nobody that does it like Gordie. They cut it the way you want it, they double wrap everything. …,” she said. Rumpel said customers notice differences between his cuts and those from large-scale packers. “For example with our hamburger, there’s no colour, additives or water so when you fry it, there’s no having to drain it several times. All of our beef is hung and aged and we know exactly where the cow came from and how it has been fed and handled,” he said. Th e maj o r i ty o f h is bu siness

comes from district farmers who bring cows, pigs and lambs to him for slaughter, cutting and wrapping. He expects the cattle butchering to continue at a record pace in the coming year as farmers finish their cattle at home because of an abundance of feed grain from the 2014 harvest. Rumpel said the business has given him a good work-life balance for his wife, Jennifer, who works full time in Regina, and their three children. “The best thing about this job is the flexibility because I get to do stuff with the kids.

Business booming in B.C.’s Comox Valley Farmers, vintners, market operators and investors have turned region into an agri-food destination BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CUMBERLAND, B.C. — Christina Willard-Stepan does the heavy lifting and leg work at Seeds Natural Food Market so that her customers don’t have to. The owner of the seven-year-old boutique-style natural food market in Cumberland describes her customers as buyers particular about what they eat. “They prefer knowing about their groceries and knowing the farmer it came from,” she said. Willard-Stepan focuses on buying local and organic as much as is practical and widens out her buying to include stock items that customers need. The self-professed fan of farmers markets has visited with farmers and researched the agricultural community in the Comox Valley. “I do a lot of reconnaissance,” she said. Her stock ranges from cheese and produce to soap and tea. Each item is marked with icons such as a bike, truck and plane to indicate the distance that it travelled to get to Willard-Stepan’s store and whether it is from the region, the province, the country or beyond. She feeds her family of four from the store to help ensure she stocks a good variety of grocery items. “That’s one way we will be well stocked with items,” she said. “There is a little bit of everything.” She also hires employees who are well versed in cooking and can offer tips or suggestions for substitutions in recipes. Willard-Stepan is surprised by those who will pay higher prices for such assurances and information and impressed that they care enough about their food to do so. She said the local business community works together to promote one another, and all benefit from the tourism that brings visitors to this town of 3,400 to enjoy bike trails, dine in eclectic cafes and soak up a little bit of Vancouver Island’s early history through an historic main street.

the agrifood sector, said Lara Greasley of Comox Valley Economic Development and Tourism.

For more than 10 years, the Comox Valley’s regional governments have prioritized food and beverage processing as the region’s top economic goals as detailed in the Comox Valley Regional Economic Development Strategic Plan and annual Comox Valley Economic Development Society Work Plans.

FARM LIVING ON THE FARM

Business built on organics Loiselle family name has become almost synonymous with heritage wheat BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Marc Loiselle and his wife, Anita, farm 1,400 acres and keep a small herd of cattle near Vonda, Sask., on his certified organic farm. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO

VONDA, Sask. — A hint of pride is evident in Marc Loiselle’s voice when he explains that his farm sprayer has not been used with synthetic chemicals since 1987. “When you start dragging your harrows through your crop (to control weeds) … you get people slowing down on the highway and gawking, thinking, ‘he must have lost his marbles,’ ” he said. “But it’s been really good for us.” The sign at the entrance to Loiselle’s

farmyard near Vonda, Sask., reads, “Holistic Stewardship for Abundant Life.” “If we really want to do this in a sustainable way and look at it from a spiritual perspective, I don’t know that we’re meant to be growing grain strictly as a bulk commodity,” he said. “It doesn’t really matter what you end up doing with your land, but if you’re not treating it well enough, then what’s going to happen in the future and what’s going to happen to the people that are eating the food in the future?” Loiselle knows that mainstream growers don’t share his views, but his

conviction is deep and he is comfortable with his choice to follow the road less travelled. “I might be in the minority, but I think this is a better way of farming,” he said. “We are more concerned about doing things the way we think they should be done than we are about making extra dollars.” Marc and his wife, Anita, are the fifth generation to be involved in farming here. Today, they farm 1,400 acres along with his parents, who still help during busy seasons. About 700 acres of grain are grown each year. The remainder is planted to plow-down clover, which is harvested as hay or used to pasture the family’s small herd of cattle. The Loiselles raise Dexter cattle, poultry and a couple of adopted goats. Leather collars worn by the goats are evidence of their status as farm pets first and livestock second. The couple raised four children and welcomed their fourth grandchild. Marc’s great-great-grandfather, F.X. Loiselle, settled in the district in the early 1900s. He and other French Canadian settlers were the founders of what became known locally as La Trinité — a trio of small prairie towns that still carry the markings of the province’s proud Fransaskois tradition. Vonda, St. Denis and Prud’homme are built on cornerstones of family, community, the Roman Catholic church and French culture and language. The family’s roots in Canada can be traced back almost 400 years, when Loiselle’s forefathers arrived in North America from France in 1642. The family is currently marking their 30th year of certified organic production. The family began the transition to organic production in the early 1980s, with encouragement and inspiration from organic pioneers like the Kaspers at Colonsay, Sask., and Elmer Laird at Davidson, Sask. The decision to go organic was prompted by an increasing demand for high quality organic milling wheat, primarily from buyers in the United Kingdom. Loiselle also had concerns about the potential health risks associated with repeated exposure to agricultural chemicals. He harvested his first crop of organic wheat in 1985: 90 acres of Columbus hard red spring wheat. Two years later, the entire farm was certified organic. Today, the Loiselle farm is synonymous with Red Fife wheat, a heritage landrace wheat variety whose genetics spawned productive milling wheat varieties like Marquis. Red Fife is not a registered variety in Canada because it predates the variety registration system, which started in 1923. Loiselle sells his production directly to specialty buyers, including artisan bakers. He said Canadian farmers could learn a lot from their counterparts in Europe, where food is more likely to be grown and consumed locally. brian.cross@producer.com

MISSION IMPULSEIBLE

Alta. students get creative with pulses Beans, chickpeas and pea protein gives dessert dish the edge in cooking competition BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Winners of a student food development competition found success by using four types of peas and beans in their lemon tart. The crust of the peamon tarts was made from a mixture of red kidney beans, chickpeas, romano beans and great northern white beans. The student developers substituted the eggs in the lemon filling with their own protein substitute they called Peggs, made from pea protein. This inventive use of pulses pushed the University of Alberta team of Andrea Roman, Kaixing Tang and Minghua Yu to the top of the Mission Impulseible competition. The trio worked for two months to develop the tarts. They decided to work with pulses in their food development class as a way to learn more about the science behind cooking with legumes. “They can be incorporated into anything. We want to raise that awareness and increase the interest of pulses in people,” said Roman. People tend to associate pulses with chili and hummus rather than dessert, but Roman said it was important to show the versatility of pulses in the “elegant, bite-size dessert.”

They replaced chicken with chickpeas, rice and spices to create their Chick P nugget, which was designed as a pre-cooked frozen product that was easy to prepare and eat. “It’s a healthy, smarter choice for mothers,” said Wei.

“There are not too many sweet, pulse bakery products,” she said during the food competition. “We used a variety of pulses to increase awareness of the nutrient quality as well as the versatility of pulses.” Debra McLennan, who organizes Alberta’s pulse cooking competition, said the goal is to help university food science students make the connection between the health benefits and versatility of pulses. The team of Chau Chin Yo, Teresa Leone, Carmen Dam and Judy Kimotho put a twist on the latest cookie butter fad sweeping Europe. Pulscotti spread is a gluten, nut and dairy free spreadable cookie made with chickpea flour and spices. “Cookie butter is really hard to find in Canada,” said Dam, who added cookie butter could be a healthy alternative to other savoury and sweet spreads such as peanut butter and jams. Cookie butter is a crushed cookie diluted with water, coconut milk or other liquid and used as a spread. Kimotho said the possibilities for cookie butter are endless: savoury or sweet and mixed with a variety of liquids. The students’ butter was spread on a cracker and topped with an apple and tasted similar to apple pie.

SEASONAL INGREDIENTS

Foods foraged from the forest TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

urled fronds of ostrich ferns or fiddleheads emerging from the forest floor are a sure sign spring has arrived. Morel mushrooms are not far behind. These foraged delicacies have a short season beginning as early as April. Fiddleheads are rich in vitamins A and C and potassium. Vitamin A is a natural antioxidant and important for skin and mucus membrane maintenance. Potassium helps reduce blood pressure and heart rate and boosts muscular and nervous systems. Iron, manganese, copper and B vitamins are also supplied in lesser amounts. Raw fiddleheads are toxic and must be cooked before eaten. Steam or boil for five to 10 minutes or until tender, then discard the boiling water. Toss in butter and crushed sea salt for a simple and nutritious side dish. Morels are a good source of vitamin D, potassium and iron and spring up in areas that have been ravaged by forest fires. This year is expected to be the largest harvest ever after last year’s bad fire season in the northwest regions from northern California to the Northwest Territories.

Work needed to promote pulses CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Producers may roll their eyes at the United Nation’s naming 2016 the year of pulses. But who heard of quinoa before the UN declared 2012 the year of quinoa, wondered Allison Ammeter, chair of Alberta Pulse Growers and Canadian chair of the International Year of Pulse committee. Quinoa is now the “it” food in baking, side dishes and salads, and Ammeter hopes the designation will give pulses the same international recognition as quinoa. Ammeter hopes that a year of celebration, media attention, consumer awareness and marketing will result in people knowing that pulses are the edible seeds of peas, beans and lentils without a lengthy explanation. “I am amazed at the number of consumers who don’t know what pulses are,” she said during the Mission Impulseible student food competition, which is designed to raise awareness of pulses among students.

Year of the Pulse organizers will release a pulse logo this spring that she hopes will become as familiar to consumers as the blue cow on dairy products. “This brand is a big deal, a really big deal,” she said. Organizers will promote messages around pulses’ health benefits, role in food security and place in helping create sustainable farming practices. The pulse industry will work with the Canadian International Grains Institute and POS Bio-Sciences to offer training courses for customers on the best use of Canadian pulses. It will also work with food processing and manufacturing companies on how pulses can be incorporated into food products. Organizers are also talking with food networks and shows about featuring pulses during the year long celebration. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Scott Effa is shooting for a hat trick after back-to-back wins in the King of Canola contest. Effa-Toffan Farms near Norquay, Sask., was recently crowned Hudye Soil Services’ Canola King Challenge winner from last year. Brother-in-laws Scott Effa and Justin Toffan achieved the winning yield of 71.57 bushels per acre, which is more than 2.3 times the provincial average of 30 bu. per acre last year. “We’re definitely looking at threepeating, but there’s lots of competition around here with the contest,” Effa said. “It’s usually close.” Nine producers participated in last year’s challenge and produced an average yield of 61.57 bu. per acre. Although 71.57 is a respectable number, it pales against the record setting 91.82 bu. that Effa and Toffan grew to win the challenge in 2013. “The year before had ample growing conditions. Last year with what Mother Nature gave us, we were very happy, considering the way the rains came,” said Effa. Last year saw substantial rain in northeastern Saskatchewan during July and a shorter flowering period, which took away yield potential. The contest allows producers to use any management strategy they see fit to obtain the highest canola yield possible. Dan Owen, agronomy manager for Hudye Soil Services, said not much changed on the Effa–Toffan operation from 2013, other than a few tweaks. They have adapted intensive management practices co-ordinated by Hudye agronomists on their 5,000 acre farm. A fertility package was designed around the results of a soil test the previous fall. The partners seeded LibertyLink’s InVigor L130 treated with Emerge Canola by NutriRX, a micro and macronutrient stimulator package. It was seeded at 4.7 pounds an acre using a Bourgault 47 foot 5710 onepass unit with mid-row coulters. The seeding rate was eight plants per sq. foot. The package consisted of 90 pounds of anhydrous and a 35-10-15 blend. The crop was sprayed at the two-leaf stage with a first application of Liberty herbicide from Bayer, which was a low rate of Liberty Plus and Centurion for grassy weeds. “What we did this year, which was slightly different, is we went in when the crop got to three to four leaf and top dressed another 20 lb. of nitrogen, 10 lb. of phosphate, three lb. of potash and four lb. of sulfur,” said Owen. He said another small adjustment from the previous year was adding Syngenta’s Tilt fungicide for blackleg control along with their normal nutrient package using Energize Canola from NutriRX. Bayer’s Proline, was used to control sclerotinia at 10 percent flowering

along with a half rate of Recharge Canola from NutriRX and a half rate of Stoller’s Bio-Forge. Another half application of Recharge Canola and Bio-Forge at a later date was used along with the Bayer insecticide Decis as a precaution for bertha armyworms. They made a total of five passes using their three-year-old high clearance sprayer. “They consider that machine now probably one of the most important tools on the farm because it gives them the opportunity to spray when they need to spray so stuff is getting done on time,” said Owen. Effa said the chemical input formula they applied to their contest entry was also used across most of their canola crop. The field that contained their winning swath averaged 71 bu. per acre. “General rule of thumb is everything gets the same treatment,” he said. Effa said entering the contest year after year has helped make them more productive. “You do learn by your mistakes and you definitely learn by your successes, but most of that is from Mother Nature, which you have no control over,” he said. Owen has watched Effa and Toffin go from a reactive to a more proactive and protective mindset over the years. “The whole ethos with how the guys are thinking now is we look at the crop and we look at what the potential is when we start,” he said. “There’s no such thing as a yield increase.… That’s why they’re King of Canola for a second year because they view their crop differently.… They’re protecting what’s there to start with rather than trying to chase a panacea that’s not there.” The competition has remained friendly and light-hearted among participants, but Owen said it has become a way to try new technologies and chemistries to see if they’re going to work. “From competition comes innovation. The more competitive a person gets, the more innovative they get in what they do to achieve the goal they set for themselves,” said Owen. “That’s important to me because as we move forward there’s so many new management practices, new things out there that a farmer can do to push the crop forward.” william.dekay@producer.com

ALBERTA ELK COMMISSION

Elk producers optimistic about rising antler prices Producers can receive $10 per pound more for antlers than they did last year BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Elk antler prices are expected to rise almost 20 percent and reach some of their highest prices in years, says the head of an elk co-op. “We’ve got reason for optimism from a long hard downturn,” said Blaine Weber of Norelkco, which focuses on selling antler. Elk producers can expect $50 a pound for elk antler, up from $40 per lb. last year, said Weber. The premium antler regrowth and spikers from early cut bulls will possible reach $65 per lb., he told Alberta Elk Commission members. “If you have good spikers, there is definitely money in it.” The higher prices are a welcome relief for elk producers who have toughed out antler prices as low as $10 a lb. Farmed elk numbers in Canada have dropped from 85,000 at their

peak to 20,000 today, and Weber is hoping higher prices for meat, hunt farm bulls and antlers will entice more people back to the industry. A group of producers formed Norelkco as a new generation co-op in 2004 at the bottom of the elk antler market to add value to antler by developing pet products. However, it has sold more than $5 million of antler to seven buyers in Hong Kong since becoming a Canadian elk antler marketer. “We have no alliances to any buyer,” Weber said. “We don’t do it on profit. We do it to keep the prices up.” The lowest price Norelkco paid for green antler last year was $40 per lb. for ungraded antler. “If you are anxious to get rid of your antler early and are anxious about watching your freezers, want it off the farm and want a truck to pick it up, you probably won’t get the highest price you could,” he told the elk commission.

Terry Elkow of Lloydminster, left, and Barry Harrison of New Sarepta, Alta., demonstrate how to score an elk antler during the Alberta Elk Commission’s annual meeting. Accuracy is important when scoring because elk producers get paid more for larger antlers. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO “If you are willing to take some of the risk, hold it and go through the grading process as it evolves, you may win, you may lose.” The graded antler allows the co-op to divide elk antler shipments to separate out premium products and receive more money.

Weber said there are rumours that the antler crop from New Zealand, which is Canada’s largest competition, has been sold and its producers paid, but the antlers are still sitting in storage waiting for resale. “But that is what they tell us every year. It is hard to verify it. Once it hits

Hong Kong, who knows where it goes.” Early discussions with previous buyers are positive, he said. “I wait for people who bought from us before. They are back to us earlier than ever.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

Delayed corn harvest pays off for some farmers Ontario farmers who leave corn in the field over winter will see a yield loss, but can also save money on drying costs BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Last year’s Ontario corn harvest is finally near completion. Don Kabbes, an agronomist with AGRIS Co-operative, said as much as 20 to 30 percent of the crop was left standing over the winter in some areas of the province. “We might have had a record crop if we had had the summer to finish the crop,” he said. An average of more than 160 bushels per acre was the second highest

yield on record, but quality was another matter. Dale Cowan, senior agronomist with AGRIS, said most of the crop failed to reach black layer, which is the point of physiological maturity at which the kernels on the cob seal themselves from the rest of the plant. Instead, Cowan said the crop developed what’s known as brown layering. Growers delayed harvest last fall in the hopes that the crop would dry down. Much of the corn was taken off at moisture levels of more than 30 percent and there were many sample

grade deliveries, largely because of damaged kernels and high levels of fines. Ontario growers harvest corn at around 25 percent moisture in a nor-

mal fall. At that point it can be dried down using air or heated-air systems. Leaving the corn in the field over the winter is another option, although only a handful of farmers intentionally employ the strategy. Harry Buurma of Sarnia said the trick is to leave only those fields with sufficient stalk strength. His overwintering yield losses have averaged out to seven percent over the years, but he’s also saved on drying costs. The result has been a net economic gain. Kabbes suspected that most farmers who left last year’s corn standing

did so in fields with the greatest stalk strength. Greg Stewart, who recently retired as the agriculture ministry’s corn specialist, said many growers were pleasantly surprised as they harvested their remaining corn this spring. It’s pretty much been a good news story,” he said. “The weather has been nice. That is, there’s been very little heavy, sloppy snow to drag that corn down. What I’ve been hearing from growers is that the moisture has been coming down nicely, allowing guys to harvest corn at 15 or 16 percent in some cases.” Test weights remain low, Stewart added, but fine particles are down because growers have been able to harvest more intact kernels. Kabbes said he’s heard corn has been harvested at higher moisture levels but agreed with Stewart that there’s been an improvement in quality. Kabbes said growers have told him yields are 10 to 25 bushels per acre lower than what was coming off the same fields last year.

Manitoba producers can now apply fertilizer and manure to their land. The provincial government announced last week that soil temperatures are sufficiently warm and it is lifting the wintertime restriction on nutrient application. The province established regulations in 2011 that prohibited farmers from applying fertilizer between Nov. 10 and April 10. The measures were part of broader legislation to protect Manitoba lakes, rivers and streams. Growers and the Keystone Agricultural Producers opposed the hard deadlines because there are years when it’s possible to apply fertilizer in late November or early April. The province listened and established a more flexible system based on soil temperatures, the weather forecast and snow cover. Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship said the April 10 restriction is lifted, but other regulations are still in place. “All other requirements of the nutrient management regulation and the livestock manure and mortalities management regulation remain in effect, including setback requirements for winter spreading of livestock manure. Nutrients cannot be applied to sensitive lands along waterways or to lands classified as Nutrient Management Zone N4.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Sask.’s export potential hindered by infrastructure challenges Report recommends greater communication throughout supply chain, as well as an upgraded hopper car fleet BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A report that the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce commissioned after last year’s grain backlog says all supply chain participants could help improve rail system efficiency. The Conference Board of Canada report said the province’s export potential is limited by existing infrastructure, and government targets won’t be met unless changes are made. It was not directly aimed at improving grain transportation logistics, but the backlog was the impetus for the study. SaskCanola was one of the funding partners. The report made nine recommendations, including several aimed directly at agriculture. It suggested a full and public review of the revenue cap, determining the current capacity and right size of onfarm storage and looking at alternative hopper car purchase arrangements. However, agricultural leaders said a more generic recommendation, that there be more and timelier communication across the supply chain, will likely have the best outcome. “It’s a two-way street,” said SaskCanola director Lane Stockbrugger. “It’s not just always asking of the railways. If we know there’s going to be delays, how can we communicate that better to the affected parties and how can we get in front of that?” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb said he believes communication has improved through the last year but must get better, while provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said ports will say co-ordination has never been better. Orb said he didn’t necessarily agree t h a t t h e re v e n u e c a p m u s t b e reviewed because it’s based on a formula that adequately compensates the railways. Stockbrugger said the revenue cap is a “sensitive topic,” although it’s probably fair to recommend a full review. Stewart said it would be controversial, but the province has recommended the revenue cap be examined. “The railways have to be properly motivated to want to haul our product,” he said. The province asked for a review in a submission to the Canada Transportation Act review, he added. Stewart said on-farm storage could be reviewed, but Western Canada already has more than other grainproducing areas. Orb said farmers can’t be asked to do more than they already are without being compensated. They have made huge investments in storage and use grain bags when necessary, he added. “It all points back to the railways being able to move that grain in a more expedient manner,” he said. Orb said improving the hopper car fleet would be a way to do that. The recommendation to look at the fleet, and potential ownership by railways, shippers or third parties noted that newer cars could increase carrying capacity by 25 percent per train. “That’s a problem that I think everybody agrees on,” Orb said. “The cars haven’t been maintained prop-

erly. Some of them are out of service.” However, he said the railways are compensated for maintenance, and perhaps the federal government needs to make sure that money is being used for that purpose. Stewart said he didn’t think any level of government would want to buy more cars, but the issue must be dealt with before the existing, aging fleet wears out completely. The study was released as the federal government announced it would not renew minimum volume requirements that were imposed on the railways last year. “That probably makes sense,”

Stockbrugger said. “I don’t think anyone ever saw that as probably a long-term policy decision that was going to help us fix some of our transportation issues.” He said the demand for rail is just going to increase, particularly from crude oil, and even a regular-sized crop could challenge the system. The report said the province’s goal of doubling exports by 2020 is in jeopardy because of system constraints. “We’re talking about 50 percent growth in transportation of goods by rail,” said Louis Theriault, vicepresident of public policy for the

conference board. That includes 20 million more tonnes: nine million tonnes of potash, six million tonnes of oil and five million tonnes of agricultural products. Steve McLellan, chief executive officer of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, said losses would equal $3.6 billion if only 80 percent of the target is reached. McLellan also said removing the minimum volume requirements was the correct decision. “This is a scenario where working through the supply chain is the solution, not penalizing one (participant) for not running faster than the

others,” he said. The report’s other suggestions included: • Reducing the cost of rail shipping in Saskatchewan by bringing fuel taxes in line with other provinces. • Increasing co-ordination with governments and infrastructure providers outside the province. • Increasing supply chain options and redundancy. • Considering the full effects of legislative solutions. • Determining the impact of pipeline expansion for oil transport. karen.briere@producer.com

OIL LEASES

Surface rights group taking issue to court

NEWS

GETTING READY

Lease payment concerns have group looking for financial support from Alberta landowners BY PAUL COWLEY FREELANCE WRITER

RED DEER — An Alberta surface rights group plans to fight to ensure that landowners don’t lose lease payments from bankrupt oil companies. Don Bester, president of the Alberta Surface Rights Group, accuses the provincial board that oversees surface rights issues of changing a longstanding practice of guaranteeing annual surface lease payments. The practice ensured that landowners weren’t left out of pocket when oil or gas companies went out of business. Bester said the board “erred in an interpretation of law” in a 2014 case involving Drayton Valley-area farmers Doug and Marg Lemke and Petroglobe Inc. The Lemkes argued that the insolvent company owed them $3,700 in lease payments. However, the Surface Rights Board rejected their application to seek compensation through the board. “The (Alberta) Surface Rights Board claimed the Bank and Insolvency Act superseded the Alberta Surface Rights Act, although it is very clear that this is not the case,” said Bester. He said the board would previously order companies that were defaulting on their payments to pay up or be stripped of their mineral rights. The board could provide compensation to landowners if no agreement was reached with the company. Bester said the implications extend beyond lease payments to farmers. There is also the question of who will be responsible for cleaning up former well sites. “To us, it’s one of the more important issues we have faced,” he said. Municipalities also stand to lose thousands of dollars in taxes that oil and gas companies pay on the land on which their pipelines and facilities are located, he added. Alberta Surface Rights Board counsel Karen Sinclair-Santos said there has been no change in legislation or the board’s options for dealing with companies that are behind on their payments. These options include suspension or termination orders for the site in question and board-issued directions to pay. Each case is dealt with on its own facts, which can be complicated in cases of bankruptcy or receivership. She said the board can still offer compensation. “Each time an application comes before the board, it makes its decision on the particular facts. There’s no guideline directing a board member to make a decision in a particular way.” There have been a number of decisions where the board has recognized that Bankruptcy Act provisions halt enforcement actions under the surface rights legislation. Sinclair-Santos said landowners who aren’t satisfied with the board’s decision can seek a judicial review. Bester said taking the board to court is expected to cost as much as $30,000. The group is hoping to raise money to wage its fight by appealing to those potentially affected, includ-

ing the counties of Red Deer, Clearwater, Knee hill and Mountain View. “We’re on the fundraising trail.” Clearwater County chief administrative officer Ron Leaf said assessment staff are not expecting any changes that will affect pipeline tax collection, which can be complicated when oil or gas companies are in arrears because they do not own the land on which their pipeline sits.

BEEF PROCESSING

CFIA reducing meat inspection staff in Alberta, says union WINNIPEG (Reuters) — The federal government has reduced the frequency of inspections at certain Alberta meat packing plants and plans to cut spending on food safety, the food inspectors’ union said March 31. The cutbacks follow two major meat recalls over food-borne illness in recent years. Ottawa had made some improvements to meat inspections after those outbreaks but the Conservative government now risks reversing that progress, said Bob Kingston, president of the Agriculture Union. However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said field inspection staff has increased 19 percent since 2007, although it

added the number may fluctuate due to changing demands for services by as much as five percent, or 150 to 200 field inspection workers, throughout the year. An outbreak of listeriosis from Maple Leaf Foods deli meat killed 22 people in 2008 and led to an independent report that flagged a shortage of food-safety workers and insufficient training of inspectors. In 2012, Canada recalled millions of pounds of beef tainted with E. coli produced at a former XL Foods plant at Brooks, Alta. “I don’t think the lessons learned from either Maple Leaf or (Brooks) were in fact learned,” Kingston said. The union, citing internal sources,

STAFFING LEVELS AT CFIA This table shows that the number of staff at the CFIA has shrunk since 2010, but the number of inspectors and field inspectors has risen.

said the CFIA instructed northern Alberta staff as of Jan. 5 to cut by 50

percent general sanitation inspection activities, which include reviews

of record-keeping and inspection results, and inspections of plants before operations. The CFIA has also reduced the number of days inspectors work in northern Alberta plants, including Capital Packers and Lilydale Inc., to three from five days a week, the union said. These plants process meat for domestic consumption. However, the CFIA has maintained its daily presence of inspectors at plants that export to the United States, such as Cargill’s beef plant in Spruce Grove, Alta., to meet American standards, it added. The NDP said the cuts would endanger Canadian families and asked why beef headed for the U.S. was inspected better than meat for the domestic market. Cathy McLeod, parliamentary secretary to federal health minister Rona Ambrose, did not respond directly to the question, telling legislators that Canada had a safe system. She also said the 2014 budget had contained money for 200 extra inspectors. An excerpt of a 2014-15 CFIA report approved by Ambrose and obtained by the union estimated that the government would cut spending on food safety by $35 million to $286 million in 2016-17 and eliminate 192 fulltime equivalent jobs. The union said the CFIA is also leaving some inspector positions vacant and has deferred training.

(Reuters) — An environmental group has filed a legal petition with the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking new rules that would enhance job protection for government scientists whose research questions the safety of farm chemicals. The petition presses the department to adopt policies to prevent “political suppression or alteration of studies and to lay out clear procedures for investigating allegations of scientific misconduct.” According to the petition, some scientists working for the federal g ov e r n m e n t a re f i n d i n g t h e i r research restricted or censored when it conflicts with agribusiness industry interests. A USDA spokesperson said the agency values the integrity of its scientists and the quality of their research. The department denied that it needed to strengthen its rules and said it has a system in place to protect it scientists. A spokesperson confirmed that eight complaints were filed from May 2013 to April 2014. Five of them were deemed worthy of investigation and one was deemed to have merit, the USDA spokesperson said. The complaints were filed through a new protocol the USDA implemented in 2013 specifically to protect the integrity of its scientific research. Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, said at least 10 USDA scientists have been investigated or faced other consequences arising from research that called into question the safety of certain agricultural chemicals.

FARM PLANS

Environmental farm programs enhanced Saskatchewan expands farm stewardship program to include 24 best management practices BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The federal and Saskatchewan governments have announced enhancements to environmental farm programs under Growing Forward 2. The list of beneficial management practices in the farm stewardship program has been increased to 24, including five new ones and improvements to seven others. As well, a new online portal for environmental farm plans has been established. New beneficial management prac-

tices include native rangeland grazing management and fencing, grain bag rollers, carcass disposal, water flow and erosion control and environmental solutions, according to the province. Funding varies depending on the project but is generally 50 to 75 percent of eligible costs. Changes to existing beneficial management practices include: • Increasing the funding caps for riparian area grazing and fencing, protecting high risk erodible and saline soils, farmyard runoff control and irrigation equipment

50-75% OF COSTS FOR BMP PROJECTS CAN BE COVERED modification. • Increasing the funding level for native plant establishment. • Making 13 beneficial management practices accessible only through environmental farm plans and 11

eligible through an environmental farm plan or an agri-environmental group plan. • Replacing the used oil, filter and fluid storage beneficial management practice with used oil storage. “Saskatchewan’s farmers and ranchers have made a commitment to environmental sustainability, and we’re proud to support their efforts,” said provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart. “Through farmers’ environmental farm plans and the implementation of beneficial management practices, our province is better positioned to

improve the quality of our soil, water, air and the biodiversity of our resources.” The beneficial management practices are implemented as environmental farm plans are completed. The new web portal is at efp.saskatchewan.ca and will allow participants to create, review and update their plans at their own pace online.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — A cool April in the southern U.S. Plains and Delta region will slow planting, says an agricultural meteorologist. However, below-normal rainfall across the main crop belt should prevent any major planting delays this spring. “We’ll see delays continue across some southern areas, but when you get into the major production areas, I don’t think we’re going to have any major delays,” said Kyle Tapley with MDA Weather Services. Tapley also said mild temperatures and timely rain across the corn belt this summer, other than some dryness in the western belt, will be favourable for crops and likely produce strong yields. If realized, this would be the third straight year of generally mild summer weather and bumper crops for the United States and would follow a drought in 2012 that was the worst in half a century. Tapley said corn yields average 1.9 percent above the trend and soybean yields are 3.6 percent higher in years similar to this spring. MDA expects the national corn yield will be 167.5 bushels per acre and soybeans will be 45.9 bu. per acre. Last year’s average corn yield was 171 and soybeans were 47.8, which were both record highs. Wet fields in March in the southern states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas have slowed corn planting, which is now running a couple weeks behind normal. High-tech planters, which seed more than 30 rows on one sweep, allow farmers to catch up quickly. However, more acres could be seeded to soybeans if corn planting gets too far behind because it has a shorter growing season and is planted after corn. Analysts are already forecasting that U.S. farmers could plant three million or more acres to soybeans than they did last year, given corn’s higher seeding costs and soybean’s less costly nitrogen requirements. A neutral to weak El Nino indicates mostly favourable growing conditions for the central U.S. However, Tapley said there are concerns about drier than normal conditions in the central and northern Plains, which could stress hard red winter wheat as it breaks dormancy.

ROME, Italy (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Scientists have bred 30 new varieties of “heat-beating” beans designed to provide protein for the world’s poor in the face of global warming. Beans have been described as “meat of the poor,” and are a key food source for more than 400 million people across the developing world.

However, the area suitable for growing them could drop 50 percent by 2050 because of global warming, endangering tens of millions of lives, scientists said. “Small farmers around the world are living on the edge even during the best situation,” said Steve Beebe, a senior bean researcher. “Climate change will force many to go hungry, or throw in the towel, sell their land and move into urban slums if they don’t get support.” Many of the new varieties, which are bred to resist droughts and higher temperatures, put traits from less popular strains, such as the tepary beans, into pinto, black, white and kidney beans. Beebe said the new varieties were bred through traditional crossing of different species rather than genetic modification.

The discovery was made after scientists examined thousands of strains of beans stored in “gene banks”. They were actually searching for types of beans that could withstand poor soils when they found genes to help create the “heat-beater” beans, Beebe said. Some of the 30 new types also have higher iron content to help increase their nutritional value, said CGIAR, the research group backing the new discoveries. New heat tolerant beans might be able to handle average global temperature increases of 4 C, which is the medium-term worst case scenario for global warming. The bean production area lost to climate change would be limited to about five percent if the new strains can handle even a 3 C rise in average temperatures, researchers said. They say bean growers in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa, including Nicaragua, Haiti, Brazil, Honduras, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, are likely to be the worst hit by global warming. Some of these countries, which depend on small farmers to feed themselves, are not in good positions to adapt to a warming planet. Clayton Campanhola, director of plant production and protection at the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, said the discovery of new “climate smart” bean strains is a big deal. “It’s important to have innovation,” Campanhola said. “We need to promote access to these seeds for small farmers.... It’s a major achievement.”

Massive grapevine thrives in Alberta SpringBreak Flower Farm vine produces 600 pounds of grapes annually BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

HILLCREST, Alta. — A greenhouse tucked into the side of southern Alberta’s Turtle Mountain seems an unlikely place to find a flourishing grapevine. And what a grapevine it is. About 30 inches in diametre, the Himrod vine has been judged by experts to be the largest grapevine in Canada and possibly the largest outside California. “There is no other vine that’s even close to being the size this one is,” said vintner and vine expert Lloyd Schmidt of Grimsby, Ont. The vine resides at SpringBreak Flower Farm, a garden centre, greenhouse and wedding venue just outside Hillcrest. When in full leaf, it covers 2,000 sq. feet of roof inside one of the greenhouses, making a leafy canopy and producing 600 pounds of grapes annually. SpringBreak owner Val Breakenridge has become accustomed to visitors ogling the grape vine and it has become an attraction for couples who want to pledge their nuptials amid the vine’s cool greenery and hanging fruit. Breakenridge said the previous owners of the operation planted the vine, and she and her husband, Rick, originally considered removing it. “I almost took it out when we got the place because one of the rules of a greenhouse is not to have any pet plants because you risk pests and disease. “So it shouldn’t really be in here. But it’s so magnificent.” Schmidt, a grape vine expert who grew up in the wine country of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, concurs with her assessment. He believes his father, Frank Schmidt, sold the original cutting.

The elder Schmidt worked for the B.C. agriculture department, and in 1952 received cuttings of four grape varieties from Cornell University in New York state. He grew them out and found Himrod to have promise. “The variety became very popular in British Columbia with the Growers Wine Company,” said Schmidt. Later, he and his father propagated the Himrod and sold cuttings in southern B.C. Himrod is the name of a town in New York’s finger lakes region, reflecting its origin. It is a cross between a variety called Ontario and the well-known Thompson seedless variety. John Vielvoye, a retired grower specialist with the B.C. agriculture ministry, saw the vine last fall when it was in full foliage. “It’s quite a sight, to find a grape vine in that area, to begin with, and that size. It was quite a sight. I was quite impressed,” he said. “The one Val has is much larger than any of the ones I’ve seen before.

The trunk is huge by comparison.” Vielvoye, who used to advise farmers and vintners on varieties and agronomy, said the Himrod produces a better wine grape than a table grape. “It’s not really an attractive grape for the fresh market. It tends to produce a long, cylindrical cluster and it doesn’t last very long once its harvested, in terms of appearance. It goes wimpy,” he said. “The variety never really took off as far as the fresh market grape was concerned, but as a winery grape it did.” On March 28, the Himrod grape in Hillcrest had just broken open its first bud to start the 2015 season. Within a few weeks, its foliage will cover the ceiling in the bay in which it grows. Though the Crowsnest Pass is Zone 2 or 3, the climate in the greenhouse is about a Zone 5.

magazine well, which was awkward if attempted one-handed and even required a bit of effort with two hands. A shooter may manually operate the bolt with a right-handed bolt lever. When locking the bolt open, the shooter must use the bolt lever to pull the bolt all the way open and then press the lever inward toward the left. It may take a shooter a few attempts to get the feel for this. Pulling the bolt lever back, outward and then releasing it from the open bolt position causes the bolt to close on its own. The rimfire rifle performed adequately in tests. We were able to get reasonable accuracy up to 50 yards using its iron sights. It was easy to adjust the rear sight with a small flatbladed screwdriver. However, it is not the most accurate product I have shot. My target patterning spread noticeably with cheap bulk ammunition. I also experienced a few jams spaced out through my initial several hundred test rounds. The rifle is lightweight and small, which makes it ideal for young shooters just starting out. The mild recoil and report should not put off even the most sensitive shooters with the right ammunition and ear protection. Visually finding and lining up the iron sights is easy, and the firearm’s basic ergonomics make it pleasant to settle into a good shooting position. The most positive feature is its modest price of around $180, which makes it perfect to expose young shooters to the sport. An adult is never completely sure if a child will fully embrace a new hobby, so the inexpensive cost of this firearm makes it attractive. You will not be shooting the wings off a fly on the horizon with the Plinkster, but you will certainly have no problem plinking cans and gophers at reasonable distances.

NEWS WORLD IN BRIEF WEATHER

EL NINO CHANCES INCREASING SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Recent warming of the Pacific Ocean may signal an El Nino weather event, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said. Climate models indicate the central tropical Pacific Ocean is likely to continue to warm, with El Nino thresholds to be reached or exceeded by mid-year, the weather bureau said. “There is about a 50 percent chance of El Nino developing in the coming months, which is twice the normal likelihood,” the bureau said. Should an El Nino occur, the system would likely bring belowaverage winter and spring rainfall over eastern Australia and aboveaverage daytime temperatures over the southern half of Australia. Such climatic conditions would prove a blow for Australian wheat production, which is reliant on rains in winter and spring. An El Nino during Canada’s summers normally brings warmer, drier weather. Australia’s wheat production is expected to total 24.39 million tonnes in the 2015-16 season starting July 1, Australia’s chief commodity forecaster said this month, up three percent from this year’s 23.61 million tonnes. Another season of poor wheat production from Australian east coast farmers will also extend problems for GrainCorp Ltd. , the country’s largest bulk grain handler. GrainCorp said in February its 2015 full-year earnings are expected to hit a five-year low as drought along the east coast curbs grain production.

RUSSIA RESTOCKING PROGRAM SETS HIGH PRICE MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s agriculture ministry has set

high wheat prices for its restocking program in the 2015-16 marketing year, which starts July 1, raising the possibility that the government will not have to extend a tax on wheat exports. The ministry, which has 1.7 million tonnes of grains in state stocks, buys grain on the domestic market every year in what is known as grain interventions. It said last week that it would offer 9,700 roubles (US$166) per tonne for third-class wheat in the European part of the country starting from July 1. At the end of last week, domestic prices for third-class wheat were down 350 roubles at 9,950 roubles per tonne in that region, according to the SovEcon agriculture consultancy. The market price for wheat has been declining in recent weeks and is expected to fall further as the new harvest hits the market in late June or early July.

Do it right when decommissioning wells Taking an old well offline must be done properly to prevent contaminating nearby aquifers BY SEAN PRATT

PROPER DECOMMISSIONING OF DRILLED AND BORED WELLS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

OUTLOOK, Sask. — Farmers need to properly decommission abandoned wells, says Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency. “It’s the right thing to do,” Rob Walcer, senior technologist with the agency, told the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards annual meeting. “Wells are a hazard and (they are) a direct conduit to our aquifers.” Some farmers fail to realize that surface contamination of water in an abandoned well pollutes the water drawn up in the new well because they are connected to the same aquifer. He recalls visiting one farm where an abandoned well was capped with a coffee tin. There were wet rings near the top of that well, so the water could have been easily contaminated. “It made for an interesting discussion about where (the farmer) thought the water went. It went straight down the old well into his other one,” said Walcer. The decommissioning procedure is different for drilled wells than it is for bored wells. Drilled wells are typically eight to 46

Properly decommissioning of abandoned wells is critical to maintaining the health of either a new well or a nearby well still in use. Wells that aren't properly plugged and sealed can allow surface water to enter and contaminate an aquifer. The water can easily migrate underground and cause water quality problems. Wells must also be sealed to keep people and animals from falling into them. Exact decommissioning procedures depend on the size of the well.

centimetres in diameter. The old ones were made out of steel, while newer ones are PVC or fibreglass. Decommissioning a drilled well

requires specialized equipment and a trained professional. “It’s work that should be done by a water well driller,” said Walcer.

Professionals should also be used for flowing artesian wells, contaminated wells and wells located in high risk areas such as corrals or near surface water or septic tanks. A drilled well is decommissioned by filling the casing with a neat cement grout, which is a mixture containing 96 percent portland cement and four percent powdered bentonite clay. Another option is to fill it with a high solids bentonite grout, which is a mixture of 20 percent bentonite clay and water. The neat cement is heavy and harder to pump but provides a better seal. The high solids bentonite grout can be applied with a portable pump, but it can’t be used when water quality is poor. Bored wells are 46 to 122 cm in diameter and can be made out of wood, brick, galvanized steel, porous concrete or fibreglass, which has been the material of choice since the late 1980s. Grouting is too costly for these wide wells. Instead, the strategic placement of granular bentonite is more economical. “It’s basically three-quarter inch clay chips,” said Walcer. The chips swell up 10 to 12 times their

normal size when contacted by water. The well is disinfected with chlorine and then enough bags of bentonite are added to seal the bottom. Each bentonite layer needs to be 30 cm thick, which requires about eight, 23 kilogram bags of the product for a 76 cm diameter well. It takes about two hours for the chips to hydrate and fully swell. Once that happens, it forms an impermeable layer that is also flexible so it can accommodate shifting ground. A similar bentonite layer should be created every six metres with coarse sand or fine gravel placed in between the layers. The filler should be free of silt or other fine material. The top of the well requires a special bentonite seal for both bored and drilled wells. “In order to know the location of the top, you do need to get a copy of the water well driller report. We do have an online database for that,” said Walcer. The top layer of bentonite needs to extend 30 cm beyond the casing of the well to cover the annular space, which is the area between the bore hole and the casing, which is usually filled with gravel. “This is one of the most important steps in decommissioning a bored well because it’s the only place during the decommissioning we can actually seal off the annular space,” he said. “Without putting in a proper top seal, you’re compromising all the other steps.” It takes a lot of bentonite to do a proper top seal. A 76 cm diameter well would require about 23, 23 kg bags of the product, while a 91 cm diameter well needs about 28 bags. The excavation site should be backfilled with clay compacted at 30 cm intervals. Qualifying farms can receive funding from the Saskatchewan government through the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program for 90 percent of the eligible costs of a decommissioning project up to a maximum of $10,000 per well. Walcer said special care needs to be taken when decommissioning a well that was built in a well pit because of he confined spaces that can contain dangerous gases and low oxygen levels. sean.pratt@producer.com

Irrigators want voice in water management plan The operating plan for Lake Diefenbaker in central Saskatchewan will rank priorities for the lake and the dam BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

OUTLOOK, Sask. — Irrigators hope their voice has been heard as a new operating plan for Lake Diefenbaker nears completion. Competing interests have provided input for a plan that has been three years in the making and will likely be finalized next year. The goal of the plan is to rank operations priorities for the lake and the Gardiner Dam, such as water supply, flood control, power generation and recreation. “It was never really formally documented where our priorities lie,” said Curtis Hallborg, manager of flow forecasting and operations planning for the provincial Water Security Agency.

He told South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards’ annual general meeting that the agency has prepared different models based on the different priorities. For example, water levels in the reservoir would be kept low in the spring under a flood control priority and then allowed to creep up in summer. The scenarios were compared using different measures, such as pumping costs, average spill volumes, the effect on the endangered piper plover population, downstream flows and average water levels for recreational users. When asked which water use would likely get the top priority, Hallborg said: “If you look at it from a strictly economic perspective it would probably be the power generation. It

AGRICULTURAL PROMOTION

Communication strategy planned BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadian farmers who blog and reach out to consumers through Twitter are making a difference, says the head of Farm & Food Care Ontario. However, money and national coordination will be needed to restore public trust in agriculture, “There’s a lot of people communicating about different aspects of food and farming … but it’s about one species, or in one province or one product. We (farmers) are only two percent of the population. If you subdivide that by species, commodity or organization … you’re into the .001 percent of the (population),” said executive director Cr ystal Mackay. “If we’re going to have an impact

and actually have a conversation with Canadians about how food is grown … we need to join together and have a united front.” With that objective in mind, Farm & Food Care is finalizing plans for an initiative that will potentially lead agriculture communication efforts in Canada. The organization created the Farm & Food Care Foundation a few years ago, which was a charitable organization with a mandate of public outreach, agriculture communication training and special projects. “We have the structure but we haven’t done a lot of work nationally,” Mackay said from her office in Guelph, Ont.

stood out pretty clearly as the biggest economic benefit.” However, he quickly added that scenario was focused on economic benefits for Lake Diefenbaker. The current scenario offered the best overall economic benefit if the scope is broadened to include downstream operations.

“I don’t think we’ll see something come out that’s radically different than what we’re doing right now,” said Hallborg. Irrigators are concerned that SaskPower is pulling the strings behind the scenes of the new operating plan. “There’s a belief out there that they’re the ones running the show, but I can assure you that’s not the case,” said Hallborg. He said the new plan will attempt to balance the interest of all water users, but it likely won’t appease everyone. There are competing interests even in the farm community, where some downstream users near Saskatoon are pushing for flood control while irrigators in the Lake Diefenbaker area want water levels in the reservoirs to be as high as possible.

Roger Pederson, chair of the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association, said irrigation tends to be mentioned almost as an afterthought at these types of meetings. “Irrigation seems to have taken a back seat to all the other uses of the water,” he said, adding that people need a history lesson on the Gardiner Dam. “The dam got constructed for irrigation. Period. It was the main and only purpose for it originally.” Pederson said 106,000 acres of Saskatchewan farmland are irrigated in the Lake Diefenbaker area and downstream. Another 500,000 irrigated acres could be added in the future without jeopardizing other water users, he added. sean.pratt@producer.com

FRUIT PRODUCTION

New peach varieties allow Florida to be first The fruit will never overtake citrus crops, but the state’s warmer climate allows its growers to be first on the grocery shelves PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (Reuters) — The first peaches are ready for harvest in Florida. They are bred to thrive where Mother Nature never intended the fruit to grow, alongside the state’s signature rows of orange and grapefruit trees. Peaches naturally belong in cooler climates such as Georgia, whose famous crop is just now poised to bloom, two months away from harvest. Yet thanks to advances in fruit breeding techniques, Florida farmers have found a sweet spot with a

subtropical peach that has seen the state’s peach industry nearly double in size annually over the past four years. Timed to fill a void in the market, Florida peaches debut in early spring, well ahead of the start of traditional peach picking in the rest of the United States. “We are the first peach in America,” farmer Ralph Chamberlain said while slicing an early peach with his pocketknife at Edentown Groves. Chamberlain was one of the first to begin growing peaches in Florida in

2006. “Little ball of sugar,” he pronounced, admiring its deep coral blush. Florida peaches highlight the potential of a U.S. research collaborative which applies DNA technology to breed fruit that tastes better, is more disease resistant or flourishes in previously inhospitable climates. The effort spans such diverse crops as cherries in Michigan, strawberries in New Hampshire and apples in Washington state. New crops are critical in Florida,

whose citrus industry, worth about $1 billion in sales, has been ravaged by a deadly greening disease. To be sure, with only a few thousand acres in production, Florida’s peach crop remains too small to make the annual U.S. peach tally. California remains king domestically, producing about three-quarters of U.S. peaches, followed by South Carolina and Georgia. Yet the payoff for Florida farmers is an exclusive season. “If you eat an American peach for the next five to six weeks, you’re going

If you eat an American peach for the next five to six weeks, you’re going to be eating a Florida peach. DONALD PADGETT PEACH GROWER

to be eating a Florida peach,” said farmer Donald Padgett, who shipped his first peaches in late March. His peaches, labelled Florida Sweet Peaches, are sold along with the peaches from Edentown Groves to leading U.S. grocery chains, including Walmart and Whole Foods Market . Florida farmers once grew peaches only in the northwest, near the Georgia state line, but the crop was wiped out by devastating freezes in the 1980s. Jose Chaparro, the University of Florida’s fruit tree expert, has studied the molecular basis of peaches over the past decade to develop varieties that would thrive much further south and require fewer hours of winter temperatures to produce fruit. Chaparro’s laboratory also applied traditional breeding techniques, cross-pollinating the trees that yielded the rosiest peaches with the firmest flesh and just the right hint of acidity. “You’re a match maker,” said Chaparro, adding it can take eight years of breeding to release a new commercial variety. That process may be speeded up as new fruit DNA testing centres gear up this year at Clemson University in South Carolina, Washington State University and a government facility in Oregon. The effort is part of a national project called RosBREED, which received $10 million over five years from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to improve quality and develop disease-resistance rosaceous fruit crops, including pears, apples, strawberries, cherries, blackberries and roses. These specialty crops have fallen behind on advancements boosting corn and other leading farm crops, said Amy Iezzoni, the director of RosBREED and a horticulture professor at Michigan State University. Finding the DNA markers for traits desirable to farmers, such as making blackberries sweeter, could accelerate breeding efforts. “It helps you find that needle in the haystack,” Iezzoni said. “You don’t waste all those years.” The Shinn family of Tree-O Groves in central Florida opted to replant some of its lost citrus acreage with 90 acres of peaches, helping offset losses on its 1,000 citrus acres. “It’s a Band-Aid to us,” said Charles Shinn, who sees the crop as a niche unlikely to replace Florida’s citrus industry because peaches are more labour intensive than citrus. “There’s only one Peach State,” said Duke Lane Jr., past- president of the Georgia Peach Council. However, he said his growers welcome their southern neighbors kicking off the season. “It gets peaches on the minds of people,” he said.

WILDLIFE

Wolf cull remains controversial management plan Researchers have found that killing a wolf can significantly increase the potential for more livestock losses BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — The potential for more livestock losses increases significantly when a wolf is killed, two U.S. researchers argue in a recent report. The same may hold true when a cull targets wolves to protect endangered wildlife, wildlife biologist Rob Wielgus and data analyst Kaylie Peebles of Washington State University wrote in the journal PLOS ONE. The British Columbia government announced plans this winter to cull wolves in two regions of the province to save endangered mountain caribou. Officials in the South Peace region are targeting four of the region’s seven herds (Quintette, Moberly, Scott, and Kennedy-Siding) where populations are declining and where at least 37 percent of adult mortalities have been attributed to wolf predation. The planned shoot is to kill 120 to 160 wolves so that the population of all seven herds can increase to 1,200 animals over two decades. In the South Selkirk region, the caribou population is critically endangered, declining from 46 in 2009 to 27 in 2012 and 18 as of March 2014. Evidence has pointed to wolves being a leading cause of death. The small trans-boundary herd ranges between British Columbia, Washington and Idaho, and government agencies have radio-collared six animals to track movements and identify mortality incidents. The plan in the South Selkirk is to remove 24 wolves. The success of the cull depends on the strategy. Wielgus said the loss of an alpha wolf can disrupt the social cohesion of the pack. That’s because their social structure is such that only the alpha male and female breed. Subordinates assist in the raising of those pups. While an intact breeding pair will keep young offspring from mating, a profound disruption to the pack through the loss of an alpha wolf can set sexually mature wolves free to breed. That social change will lead to more breeding pairs, which must find food for their pups. As opportunistic predators, wolves will capitalize on wild game or livestock. The study, which was the largest of its kind, analyzed 25 years of lethal control data from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services reports in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. The researchers found that the odds of predations the following year are four percent for sheep and five to six percent for cattle if one wolf is killed. Livestock losses double if 20 wolves are killed. The same scenario holds true for predation on livestock by cougars. Another study by Wielgus and Washington State University colleagues published in PLOS ONE last year found that younger, less disciplined big cats will prey on more livestock, especially if their mothers had taught them to select for livestock prey. Wolf populations are healthy in B.C.: 8,500 animals and growing. While the mountain caribou range in the South Peace region is south-

There are cows that will be maimed. MIKE MCCONNELL RANCHER

west of the closest ranching community, many ranchers in the province have had to deal with wolf predation losses. “The ministry of forests, lands, and natural resource operations undertook a very comprehensive study of the grey wolf and came up with a draft management plan,” said Mike McConnell, rancher and director with the B.C. South Peace River Stockmen’s Association. “We have producers in the Chilcotin who are unable to use their crown range because their predation losses are so high. We have a number of people now in the north Okanagan whose cows are not used to dealing with wolves at all (because wolves have moved back into the area after being gone for 50 years). A number of producers there aren’t using their crown range because predation losses are high.” The province’s grey wolf management plan, which was released in April 2014, summarized a variety of management approaches, noting that direct removal of individuals or packs can have a moderate effect overall but a fragmented pack will ultimately result in more packs and predation. McConnell said calves are worth around $1,800 and asked: “How many is it reasonable to expect a rancher to lose before something is done about predators?” Direct losses by wolf predation are only part of the problem. “ T h e re a re c o w s t h a t w i l l b e maimed,” said McConnell. “There’s harassment that can lead to lighter calf weights. Cows can get scattered, sending them to areas where there are no bulls, therefore no breeding. They may be moved from one grazing area to another, which can result in one area being overgrazed while another is under-utilized.” Wolves aren’t the only threat to endangered mountain caribou herds. Habitat disruption from gas exploration, seismic lines, roads, leases, pipelines and recreational activities also cause problems. As well, climate change may disrupt habitat in the future with shifts in seasonal temperatures, precipitation, snow pack, wildfires and outbreaks of insects and diseases. The wolf cull targets are specific to the South Peace and South Selkirk regions, and there is no plan for a general aerial wolf cull. McConnell said ranchers do what is practical to protect and watch their herds, but it’s not always easy. “We have labourer issues,” he said. “It’s hard to pay rates. Certainly people do ride and check on cows, but the thing is that you don’t see these wolves. They are secretive and they are successful. You might hear them howling. That’s not an issue. It’s the actual action of harassment that causes problems.”

The British Columbia government has announced plans for a wolf cull program designed to preserve caribou populations, but some researchers maintain that could be counterproductive. | FLICKR.COM PHOTO

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

ADM to end deforestation in palm, soy supply chain Crop product giant bows to pressure from shareholder groups to buy soy grown on land cleared of trees in the Amazon rainforest. However, soy is still linked to deforestation because cattle pastures have been converted to grow the crop, which displaces beef production to areas where forest loss is occurring, the report said. ADM, which buys soybeans but does not grow them, plans to launch a Responsible Soy Standard in Brazil on a pilot basis. Growers will be assessed

on their adherence to standards covering labour practices, water and soil use and observance of land rights. The institute said international aid should be used to reform subsidies in a way that safeguards forests as well as livelihoods and food security. “Through subsidy reform, modest sums of forest finance can be used to ensure any subsidies are provided in a manner that both protects forests and the poor,” McFarland said.

Insure your investment with a seed treatment.

“

Farming is risky. If you’re a farmer, you know you have absolutely no control over most of that risk. Volatile markets can throw commodity prices for a loop. Wild weather can decimate a prime crop. Spring can come late or winter early, ruining the best-laid plans. But some farming risk can be managed easily and inexpensively. If you’d like to maximize returns from your crop—and sleep better at night—experts recommend you consider a seed treatment. Seed treatments start seedlings strong by mitigating many kinds of disease and insect risk, leading to faster emergence, stronger plant stands and improved yield. “We see seed treatments as a best management practice and recommend that all farmers across Alberta use them,” says Lorena Pahl, executive director of the Alberta Seed Growers Association. “Many factors can ruin a crop; a seed treatment can ensure that a problem at germination or emergence isn’t one of those factors.”

“

BARCELONA, Spain (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Archer Daniels Midland has agreed to stop deforestation that is caused by soybean and palm oil production in its global supply chains. The company, which is one of the world’s largest soybean traders and a top soybean exporter in Latin America, joins a growing group of multinational firms that are taking action to ensure their businesses do not destroy forests. New commitments from companies related to reducing deforestation jumped 80 percent in 2013-14, meaning more companies are taking the problem seriously, according to a recent report from Forest Trends, a Washington-based non-governmental organization. ADM’s move came in response to pressure by shareholders Green Century Capital Management, which manages fossil fuel-free mutual funds, and the New York State Common Retirement Fund. They have now withdrawn a proposal outlining the investment risks associated with deforestation. “ADM’s commitment to using only sustainably sourced palm and soy products validates our message that strong environmental policies make economic sense,” said New York state comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. “Business practices that destroy the environment and foster climate change can not only harm the public but can damage corporations’ reputations, their bottom line and their investors,” he added. Almost 150 million acres of tropical forest have been converted to agriculture since 2000, according to Forest Trends. Agriculture is widely recognized as the largest driver of global deforestation and is linked to 80 percent of forest loss around the world, the Overseas Development Institute said in a new report. The report argues that government subsidies for agricultural commodities are undermining international aid to protect forests and should be reformed. “While international forest aid seeks to promote private investment in forest protection, governments around the globe are incentivizing commodities that drive deforestation,” said Will McFarland, the report’s co-author. In Brazil and Indonesia, where more than half the world’s deforestation occurs, an average of $41 billion in domestic public finance has been spent annually subsidizing some of the leading causes of that forest loss, the institute said. That’s 127 times what the two countries received in annual forest aid. The researchers identified 48 domestic subsidies to support Indonesia’s palm oil and timber industries and Brazil’s beef and soy sectors. As well, the study said agreements to prevent the cultivation of a crop causing deforestation may not work. For example, a private-sector led moratorium was started in Brazil in 2006. Groups representing 90 percent of the soy market committed not

shorter crop rotations, have caused more disease inoculum to accumulate in the soil,” says Neil Whatley, a crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “[This] is an indicator that seed treatment may be cheap insurance for many growers in the spring of 2015.”

Under ideal conditions, seedlings can achieve a good start on their own. Many times, however, a variety of factors conspire against a seedling’s growth, including seeding early into cold soil, excessive or insufﬁcient moisture or disease and insect pressure.

Seed treatments protect crops from pathogens present in and on the soil, on infected residue, or carried within the seed. While some seed treatments protect young plants from early leaf disease and root rot infection, the main role of a seed treatment is to protect seeds from seed rot and seedling blights. Some treatment brands also contain insecticides that help control insects such as flea beetle and wireworm. Protection against these pests helps to ensure a stronger seedling and higher plant population, thereby promoting a strong crop that is better able to compete against later stressors including weeds, foliar diseases, insects and harsh weather. A seed treatment is only as good as its coverage. Buying professionally treated seed from a certified seed producer or retailer or having it processed and treated through a seed cleaning plant is highly recommended. If you choose to apply treatment to your own seeds, ensure you have the proper equipment and your machine is calibrated for the specific product.

WINE

New Zealand vintners pioneer low-alcohol techniques Country’s cooler climate gives it an edge in the growing market for wines with reduced alcohol content WELLINGTON, N.Z. (Reuters) — New Zealand’s cooler climate is giving its wine makers an edge as they seek to exploit growing global demand for lighter, premium wines. Rising temperatures are pushing up the alcohol content of wines from rivals such as Australia and the United States. The 2015 vintage of the country’s flagship Sauvignon Blanc will be the first produced under a governmentbacked initiative to research and produce wines that dispel the image of low-alcohol, low-calorie wines as overly sweet, inferior tastes. “There’s been a global awakening

to the fact that there’s a limited quantity of premium lower alcohol white wines available, and we’ve captured the first wave of that market,” said John Forrest, wine maker and owner of Forrest Wines in Marlborough, the main producing region for New Zealand’s aromatic, fruity take on the Bordeaux grape. Now in its seventh vintage, Forrest’s nine percent Sauvignon Blanc comprises nearly half the label’s production and is shipped to Waitrose, a high-end supermarket chain in Britain, and Whole Foods in the United States. Developing full-flavoured wines

There’s a sweet spot somewhere between the flavour and the alcohol content SIMON HOOKER NZ WINE

below the typical 12 to 14 percent alcohol by volume could position New Zealand wine makers as producers of quality wines for a growing niche market, enabling the $1.3 billion industry to expand its share of

the global wine trade. A survey of wine drinkers in Europe and North America by research firm Wine Intelligence shows 39 percent of respondents were buyers of wines with an alcohol content below 10.5 percent last year, rising nearly nine percent from 2013. Nielsen data from the United States shows that store sales of wines with an alcohol content below 12 percent were worth $3.4 billion in the past year, up 33 percent from 2011 and outpacing growth in higher alcohol categories. However, growing grapes for a lower alcohol wine is “extremely

hard,” said Simon Hooker, general manager of research at trade body NZ Wine, which is running a $13 million Lifestyle Wine project. It involves slowing the fruit’s sugar development, which affects the alcohol level, while mellowing its acidity before the grape is picked. “There’s a point where the wine falls apart and just isn’t wine anymore,” he said. “There’s a sweet spot somewhere between the flavour and the alcohol content,” he said. “The program’s target is to hit that sweet spot.” Low-alcohol wines have been marketed for years, often as a reducedcalorie option whose alcohol content has been lowered by filtration or reverse osmosis techniques. However, critics say they often lack depth and complexity. New Zealand wine makers are experimenting with newer viticulture techniques, including strategically trimming vines to slow sugar development in grapes and fermentation methods designed to “fill out” the flavour in the vat. “ Th e k e y p o i nt o f d i f f e re n c e between our wines and other lower alcohol wines is that we make our wine in the field,” said Ollie Davidson, senior vice-president of viticulture at Constellation Brands, which last year introduced lower alcohol versions of its Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. While New Zealand’s relatively cooler climate has given it a head start in developing new grape growing techniques for lower alcohol wines, it has not been immune to the hotter summers affecting other wine growing countries. Forrest said the methods he is using in Marlborough could be applied worldwide. “Being able to reduce the amount of sugar the plant is producing to put into the grape has tremendous commercial potential for all white wine varietals, particularly from global warming and hotter climates,” he said. “This year, in a drought, I’ve applied that technique to other white varietals ... and hence I won’t be making a 14 percent Chardonnay., I’ll be able to keep it at 13 percent.” New Zealand wine makers say that Sauvignon Blanc’s broad flavour profile makes it an ideal lower alcohol candidate. They see an export market in the U.S., challenging popular low-alcohol choices such as Moscato and Prosecco from Italy. However, growers of varieties such as Pinot Noir, a notoriously fickle grape, are less enthused, worrying that such techniques, if applied to red wines that use skins and pips to develop their characteristic tannins, would compromise flavour. “The Pinot Noirs that people are interested in are the ones that are a reflection of where they were grown,” said Larry McKenna, chief wine maker and director at Escarpment in the Martinborough region, who specializes in the elegant red. “Maybe some people want 10 percent wines because they want lower alcohol and they want to be healthy, but those wines aren’t going to create an international position, they’re not going to get us a write-up in Decanter magazine.”

IMPORTS

War disrupts flow of food into Yemen United Nations warns stocks are low in Yemen, a country that relies on imports for more than 90 percent of its food DUBAI (Reuters) —Food imports into the Arab world’s poorest country are grinding to a halt as the conflict in Yemen puts fragile supply chains under growing strain and commercial suppliers stay away. Saudi Arabia and Arab allies began a bombing campaign last month against Iran-allied Houthi fighters who had taken over much of Yemen and now threaten the southern city of Aden, where president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi had taken refuge. Several ports are in rebel hands and fighting has made travelling by road perilous. Yemen imports more than 90 percent of its food, including the lion’s share of its wheat and all its rice, to feed a population of about 25 million. It has enough basic foodstocks for six months in all provinces, and wheat stocks stood at 930,100 tonnes on the day the air strikes began, the official Saba news agency said March 30. However, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization said stocks could start to diminish quickly. “Although government sources reported sufficient stocks to last the country about six months, the conflict will likely negatively impact distribution, market availability and prices of foodstuffs sooner than earlier expected,” said Salah ElHajj Hassan, the FAO representative in Yemen. The collapse of central authority and fighting on several fronts, including Aden, one of Yemen’s main ports, has already disrupted imports as well as the processing and distribution of wheat and other staples, food industry sources said. “The port is not functioning, it has been a few days now since our imports have stopped and we are not receiving any more wheat,” said a source at the Yemen Company for Flour Mills and Silos in Aden. “Workers can’t come to work so they are not operating the mills. The fighting and gunfire has stopped them from showing up and the roads are blocked,” he added. An explosion at a dairy factory at the Houthi-controlled west coast port of Hodaida port April 1 killed at least 25 people and dealt a blow to food production. Mohamed Alshamery, manager of the Yemen Company for Sugar Refining in Hodaida, said his refinery and

Food distribution in Yemen is growing more difficult as supply chains are disrupted by the civil war raging there. | the port were still operational but fighting was making it difficult to take sugar to market. Nearly half of Yemenis were “food insecure” before the conflict and lacked sufficient food for their needs, the FAO said. One in four was undernourished. An international trade source said it was becoming difficult to deliver food shipments. “Houthi militias are in control of the major ports including Aden. Traders are unable to open letters of credit with banks. We are starting to see shipments being diverted to other locations,” he said. “What this means is that across

Yemen they will need to be drawing their strategic stocks.” Ship tracking data showed only a few ships were located close to Aden, with two bulker vessels most likely to be carrying food supplies anchored off the city’s coast for several days. “The port of Aden is virtually closed but for some oil shipments which berthed at Aden Refinery,” the shipping and logistics agency GAC said. “Dry cargo shipments are stopped because no stevedores are available because of clashes.” A spokesperson for the UN’s World Food Programme said fighting in Aden had disrupted its loading

operations. A local partner was still going ahead with distribution of food to refugees in camps in the Aden area. In Lahj, north of Aden, authorities loyal to Hadi posted a notice ordering shopkeepers to keep prices at their previous levels and not to hoard their stocks. Residents in the capital Sanaa and other parts of the country said there were widespread fuel shortages, which could also hamper efforts to distribute food when coupled with heavy fighting and air strikes. “Petrol stations have started hoarding fuel,” said Ali Salih, a car owner in the central province of Ibb.

Philippines may fare worst as extreme climate events increase LONDON, U.K. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Densely populated Asian islands and countries are likely to face more intense climate events in the future. Research published by the risk analysis group Verisk Maplecroft has found that islands are especially vulnerable when they have large populations and much of their land is exposed to storm surges and rising sea levels. Researchers found that Taiwan, hit last year by Typhoon Matmo, was most at risk and stressed the need for all sectors to understand the extent of

exposure to extreme events and long-term climate change in countries deemed most vulnerable. “The potential impacts of climate change on physical structures, industrial processes, supply chains and cr itical infrastr ucture are potentially devastating,” the report said. A study by the same firm found last month that eight of the 10 cities most at risk from such events are in the Philippines, which had “poor institutional and societal capacity to manage, respond and recover from natural hazard events.”

Typhoon Haiyan killed 6,300 people in 2013 in the Philippines, which is battered by more than 20 typhoons a year. Nearly 20,000 people were killed by an earthquake and tsunami in Japan’s main Honshu island in 2011. “While uncertain, climate change projections suggest that the typhoons may be less frequent in the region but become more intense,” the group’s new report said. The weather events known as El Nino and La Nina exacerbate this, the study added. El Nino, which is the warming of

Pacific Ocean surface temperatures that can cause drought in some parts of the world and flooding in others, and La Nina, an irregular event caused by cooling water temperatures, both threaten Southeast Asia, the report said. Droughts in the Philippines and Indonesia are “strongly related” to El Nino, the report said, which blamed La Nina for flooding in the Philippines as well as in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. The study tried to quantify the risk of a country being hit by extreme climate events such as droughts, wild-

fires, storms and floods as well as the dangers posed by changing temperatures and sea levels. China is “high risk” due to increased industrial, domestic and agricultural competition for water, and some northern parts of the country have already experienced reductions in rainfall, the study said. Bangladesh also ranked high on the list of places at risk. Cyclone Sidr killed around 3,500 people in the country in 2007, while Cyclone Aila killed more than 300 in Bangladesh and around 150 in India in 2009

Temperature plummet takes toll on canola

Canola-soybean rotation researched U.S. grower trials show yield bump of about 10 percent following canola versus winter wheat

BY ROBERT ARNASON

BRANDON BUREAU

Canola growers in parts of Oklahoma and southern Kansas are suffering through another dry and challenging year, which is cutting into optimism for the crop. Tyson G ood, who farms near Dodge City, Kansas, said his canola grew to knee height in the fall, and an abrupt change in the weather hammered the crop. “It went from 88 degrees to near zero degrees Fahrenheit (31 C to -17 C) in 24 hours,” he said. “It was elongating and pushed my growth point too high…. We got a hard freeze on it, and it just knocked it down.” Heath Sanders, field specialist with the Great Plains Canola Association, said most canola fields were in decent shape going into winter, but the sudden cold changed everything. “We had really good stands … (but) the crop didn’t have much time to acclimate to the cold weather, and we lost some plants.” A lack of rain in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas this winter exacerbated the situation. The crop hasn’t received the necessary moisture to recover from the earlier damage, Sanders said. The crop is beginning to bloom in parts of the region, and growers could be looking at their second consecutive year of poor yields unless conditions turn around quickly. The winter of 2013-14 was much colder and drier than usual and winterkill was commonplace. Memories of poor or non-existent yields, combined with dry seeding conditions last fall, diminished grower enthusiasm and cut into seeded acreage. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said March 31 that Oklahoma farmers planted 145,000 acres of canola this year, down from 270,000 acres in 2013-14. Farmers in the region, including Texas and Kansas, planted about 225,000 acres this year. The acreage decline is having a detrimental impact on the development of the canola industry in Oklahoma. Canola advocates expected acres to hit one million, and Northstar AgriIndustries announced plans to build a crushing plant in Enid. A company spokeperson told the Enid News last fall that the 2,200 ton per day facility is shovel ready. However, Northstar won’t invest the required $250 million until the time is right. “We’re no less committed to the project. We just want to make sure we get out on the right foot with such a large expenditure,” said Northstar president Neil Juhnke. “We need to see there’s going to be the acres there to support the plant.” Sanders said canola growers are getting a “little discouraged.” “It’s not been the canola’s fault. It’s been the weather conditions.” Sanders said there’s been decent precipitation in southern Oklahoma and northern Texas. Canola fields in that region look quite good. It’s too early to write off the crop in areas suffering through a drought, he added. “In a couple of weeks, if it were to rain, things would really change in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Canola competes with soybeans for acres in many parts of North Dakota, but a new study could turn the crops from adversaries to pals. Researchers with North Dakota State University are evaluating anecdotal evidence that soybean yields increase when the crop is planted following canola. Brian Jenks, who leads the university’s North Central Canola Research program, initiated the study last year. He said several growers in Minnesota and North Dakota had observed a benefit from growing canola before soybeans. “They brought it to our attention and asked us if we could research it, to see if (the yield increase) was legitimate or just a fluke.” Ryan Pederson, who farms near Rolette, N.D., said pairing canola and soybeans contravenes conventional thinking. “As an agronomic practice, at first breath it sounds like a really bad idea,” he said. “But guys have been doing it and (say) they get a yield bump on their soybeans (planted) on canola stubble versus wheat stubble.” Jenks found four studies in the southeastern U.S. that looked at this rotation question. Two of them found no yield boost but the other two detected a yield benefit. Andrew Moore, who grows winter canola near Resaca, Georgia, said on-farm and university data indicates that canola is a complementary crop to soybeans. “What we’ve seen is … that soybeans do about 10 percent better following canola versus following winter wheat.” Jenks said the research doesn’t explain how or why canola benefits soybeans. “Those who conducted the studies didn’t put forward any scientific or physiological reason for the poten-

tial increase.” Jenks seeded wheat, canola and soybeans last year and will officially begin the study this spring. “This will be our first test. We don’t have any data yet,” he said. North Dakota farmers typically choose between canola and soy-

beans. Canola is losing acres to soybeans in parts of the state, so a favorable study result could boost canola acres because farmers might choose to grow both crops. Jenks has his doubts because it could amplify disease pressure. “My first thought when I heard

about this was: what about sclerotinia?” Jenks said the first rotation of soybeans after canola might be fine, but diseases could flourish if the practice is continued. robert.arnason@producer.com

Soybean’s northward creep cuts into canola BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canola acres in North Dakota may have hit a plateau because soybeans have cut into canola’s potential, says a director with the Northern Canola Growers Association. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its March 31 prospective plantings report that North Dakota farmers will likely seed 1.2 million acres of canola this spring. That would be the same as last year. Maintaining acreage isn’t necessarily a bad news story, but proponents once hoped canola would steadily increase and reach 1.5 to two million acres in the state. Ryan Pederson, who farms near Rolette, N.D, said the goal might be unreachable. “Unless we see some shift in beans … it’s going to be tough to get many more acres,” said Pederson, secre-

tary-treasurer for the canola growers association. Brian Jenks, a weed scientist with the North Dakota State University extension service and a canola growers board member, said soybeans are expanding into traditional canola growing areas near the Canadian border. “We know down here that soybeans are definitely on the increase,” he said. “They are moving north and moving west. They may potentially replace a lot of canola acres.” Pederson plans to expand his soybean acres this spring partly because the crop matures later than canola, which reduces his personal stress at harvest time. “All of the small grains (come off ) at the same time,” he said. “It’s always nerve-racking, not knowing if we should get the wheat done or go after the canola.” The strong U.S. dollar is another

factor because American crushing plants can take advantage of the currency spread to buy Canadian grown canola. Pederson said the weak loonie is driving down canola bids in North Dakota. However, Pederson said three dynamics could boost canola’s fortunes in the state. • Tighter soybean rotations could trigger additional disease and insect pressure, which may force growers to back off and incorporate a crop such as canola into the rotation. • Shatter resistant canola varieties might convince farmers to grow the oilseed again because many farmers in the state are committed to straight combining. “The guys who have completely gone away from canola … we could pick up 10 percent of their acres because they don’t have to go and buy a swather, which they probably

sold five or 10 years ago.” • Canola growers are experimenting with seeding canola with a planter instead of a drill. It might make canola more competitive because growers can plant fewer seeds and reduce a crucial input cost. “To get that (precise) seed placement and not have to plant so many pounds … you’re looking at (saving) $25 to $30 an acre.” robert.arnason@producer.com

UAV rules, training, help keep skies safe Unmanned aerial vehicles must meet Transport Canada standards BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SEEDING EQUIPMENT

Individual shank conversion system Manitoba farmer and inventor wanted an air seeder that provided row by row depth control ABOVE: The Orange Shank is designed to allow farmers to convert their drills to an independent system.

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

John and Angelica Gehrer have turned their attention to air seeders. The farming couple from Niverville, Man., who made a name for themselves with their grain auger spout systems, wanted an air seeder with individual shanks that followed the contours of the field and provided row by row depth control. “Precision seeders treat every row independently, and you pay for that. I thought it could be done in a more affordable way,” he said. Called Orange Shank, the Gehrers built a prototype that was initially green to match the couple’s Concord air seeder and mounted on the couple’s traditional frame with C-shanks. The Orange Shank was used to plant canola, soybean and oats in its first year. “The results looked good, so we converted the whole (tool bar) to the independent shank system and last fall seeded winter wheat and winter canola,” he said. The shank system uses rubber blocks in the mount, the way several European vertical tillage tools do. The drill frame’s pressure from the lift control provides the energy that creates tension on the trailing arms. Clamps mount the drill-type shanks to the tool bar, with the rubber blocks coming under tension as the frame is lowered. The packer wheel and the end of the trailing arm acts a gauge wheel, allowing the independent shank to move vertically in the soil, while maintaining seeding depth.

A traditional C-shank is cut off and clamped into the trailing arm frame and provides opener mounting and seeding depth control. Packer wheel mounts are adjustable through a variety of mounting holes, as are the trailing arms where the units meet the seeder’s frame at the torsion clamps. An optional fertilizer coulter is available and mounts to the independent arm system. The Gehrers are offering 30 of the shanks to other farmers to mount on their seeders in western Canada and the Great Plains. “We want to see how they work in a variety of conditions and we are hoping that some other farmers might want to help us out and see too,” said John. “For the spring of 2015, we want to replicate our research. Farmers with a solid frame air drill that are willing to remove one shank and replace it with an Orange Shank can do this research with us. “When installing an Orange Shank, no welding is needed, nor does the hydraulic system need modifications. The existing packer does not have to be removed. Their existing opener has to be bolted onto the Orange Shank. “This type of research has will give

Radio controlled and autonomous small aircraft are becoming a bigger part of the skies worldwide. In Western Canada, farmers, farm service providers and agrologists are taking to the skies to gain rapid insights into the condition of crops and fields and to help develop longer-term data packages. Rules about who can fly what, where and when are largely misunderstood. “What” is one of the most important aspects of Canadian regulations. If the small aircraft is being used for commercial purposes, such as farming, and is two to 25 kilograms, the operator can run it without a permit from Transport Canada. However, a large number of other standards must be met. One of the most important, whether commercially or recreationally, is that the unmanned aerial vehicle not be autonomous. A Special Flight Operations Certificate must be obtained from Transport Canada if the drone is run using an autopilot system that allows it to fly a path set out for precise image gathering. These are offered for a limited time for agricultural applications: from a few days to one year. The agency tends to extend that time depending on its confidence in the operator’s training and experience level. Initial certificates are issued for a tight geographic area and will often be required for each use. At the very least, a flight plan will need to be filed for each use. Completion of a ground school course and a radio operator’s certificate for aviation use are also required to pilot unmanned aerial vehicles in this category. Rob Saik of Agritrend felt his company was going to need the ability to use low-level aircraft to scout and record field information for its customers. “We wanted to ensure that when we did it, we did it properly, within the regulations and laws of Canada,” said Saik. Agritrend chose to set up a course for its agrologists and also offer the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

SOME OF THE OPERATING RULES FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES Transport Canada has developed regulations and recommendations for unmanned aerial vehicle use: UAVs between 2.1 and 25 kilograms: • Cannot be operated autonomously. • Operator must be 18 years old, well trained and know the rules of the sky.

The hardware has to work and be simple to fly. It has to be reliable. The sensors have to be useful. And we have to be able to render the data that is obtained from flights quickly. None of that is easy. ROB SAIK AGRITREND

• Must have at least $100,000 liability insurance. • Must be alert, not tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Inspect the UAV and site before flight to ensure they are safe. • Carry a copy of the UAV exemption, proof of liability insurance, contact information and UAV system limitations. • Have a fire extinguisher on site.

• Respect laws from all levels of government. • Get permission before going onto private property.

• Follow the manufacturer’s operating and emergency procedures, including those if the remote control loses contact with the aircraft.

• Keep the UAV in direct line of sight and always be able to see it with your own eyes.

• Verify that radio frequencies/ transmission and electronic devices won’t affect control of the UAV.

• Operate only one UAV at a time, with a single remote control.

• Assess the risk of losing connection with the UAV and decide when to use the flight termination setting.

• Give right-of-way to manned aircraft. • Fly during daylight and in good weather: no clouds, snow or icy conditions. • Create and follow procedures for landing and recovering the UAV and for contacting emergency responders and air traffic control. • Have an emergency plan ahead of time.

• Inform air traffic services if the UAV enters controlled airspace. • Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance/assembly instructions. • Ensure the UAV does not have an emergency locator transmitter. • Report accidents to Transport Canada and stop operations until risks have been addressed.

• Immediately stop all operations if the exemption requirements can’t be observed or if the safety of people, property or other aircraft is at risk. • Stay at least 150 metres away from people, animals, buildings, structures, and vehicles not involved in operating the UAV. Rules for UAVs two kilograms or less is very similar except: • Operators must be 18 years old, or at least 16 years old to conduct research under academic supervision. • Stay at least 30 metres away from people, animals, buildings, structures and vehicles not involved in the operation.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE training to others. “There are a great many people coming up with UAV ideas out there, but it isn’t as simple as people think,” he said. “The hardware has to work and be simple to fly. It has to be reliable. The sensors have to be useful. And we have to be able to render the data that is obtained from flights quickly. None of that is easy.” Saik said his company worked with Mark Hovdestad, who heads up the RCMP’s drone program, to create the SkyScout system. A certification ground school is planned for pilots in Calgary April 21-22.

“That will provide the attendees with full, corporate SFOC certifications that will allow them to avoid having to file flight plans each time they want to scout a field … and that is for the whole 2015 season,” said Saik. The $2,000 program is offered to drone pilots from Agritrend’s agronomist group as well as producers and others looking to provide services this year, and it includes the training and testing for the ROC-A.” Warren Bills of Agritrend said ground school attendees will also have to show Transport Canada that they have had product training on the drones they plan to operate.

For those using Precision Hawk UAVs the Agritrend program is providing the training. For those using other manufacturers units those folks will have to show they have taken training to ensure they are competent with those tools. “To obtain the certification you have to learn a 125 page document,” he said. “We streamlined that into a couple of day’s process. I would anticipate our offering more of these this year: in the fall for sure, and if there is demand, we will put one on this summer.” michael.raine@producer.com

Seeding by plant population? Don’t get too hung up on it PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR

rops should be seeded with a target plant population in mind. These targets can be determined by reviewing research done at various locations. The target plant populations used in this column are averages from researchers across Western Canada and the northern United States. The experience on your own land under your own conditions and using your own seeding equipment will help you fine tune these rates for what is best on your farm. Generally speaking, western Canadian farmers have been seeding at rates that are less than optimum. Increased seeding rates will generally result in several benefits: • higher yields • better weed competition • earlier maturity • more even maturity Much of this is the result of heavier plant stands reducing the number of tillers a plant produces. Most of the yield of any field comes from the

main head of the plant. As well, tillers mature later than the main head. Increased seeding rates will also result in slightly smaller seed size, shorter plants and an increased probability for the crop to lodge. Three factors must be considered when determining seeding rates: • desired plant population • seed size • expected seed survival These three factors can help farmers calculate their seeding rate using the following calculation: seeding rate (lb./acre) = (10 X desired plant population (ft2) X 1,000 kernel weight in grams) divided by % survival. The TKW number is important because seed samples will vary greatly in seed size. This is important with all crops but especially important with those such as peas. Example 1: Abarth peas • 95% germination (75% survival), TKW of 280 grams. • Desired plant population: 7 plants/ ft2 • (10 X 7 X 280) divided by 75 = 260 lb./acre Example 2: CDC Prosper Peas • 90% germination (70% survival), TKW of 150 grams. • Desired plant population: 7 plants/ ft2

• (10 X 7 X 150) divided by 70 = 150 lb./acre. However, the problem with this calculation is calculating survival rate. This is the largest variable in crops with a fairly tight range of seed size. How you calculate survivability will significantly affect your seeding rate and may cause surprises when the plant stand is counted. A number of factors can affect survivability, and a number of recommended survival rates can be used. Some sources suggest that survival will be five to 20 percent less than the germination, and that actual seeding rates can be adjusted higher or lower depending on field conditions, date of seeding, weed pressure, seed placed fertilizer and other pressures that may affect plant stand establishment. They are correct. These are all factors that affect seedling survival, but there are more. Seed quality Good, plump seeds of high quality produce a higher plant survival than smaller, poorer seed. Seeds with a high vigour may require a lower seeding rate than seed with a lower vigour because the survival rate will be higher on the more vigorous seedlings.

studies that looked at three seed sizes from a single seed lot. The researchers found significant differences for small seed sizes as compared to medium and larger seeded plots. Small seeded wheat crops yielded about three bushels more per acre when a seed treatment was used and, when seeded at a lower rate. Increasing seeding rates by 25 percent, without a seed treatment, boosted yields by a little more than a bu. per acre. Adding a seed treatment to the small seed, at the higher rate, increased that yield by less than a bu. per acre over the lighter rate, treated plots. In summary, treating small seed can cause it to yield as well as large seeded crops. Seed treatments for large and medium sized seeds made little difference to yield. Canola research has found that larger seeds increase the emergence and survivability. It shows that a seeding rate of 4.5 to 5.5 lb. per acre improved plant stands, yields and economic returns, independent of seed size. Seed density Seeds in high density seeding situations show higher mortality than when densities are lower. High seed density occurs when seeding with narrow row spacing and wide shank spacings. For example, in a 1996 paper, Lafond and Derkson

showed significant stand reduction as row spacing moved from 10 to 20 centimetres. When crops are put into a stress situation, weaker plants tend to die out. This is also true for later germinating plants. When density is lower, these plants will survive. This competition may also encourage plants to grow a little quicker and be larger than those without competition. Soil type Heavy textured soil may require an increase because of emergence difficulties. Light textured soils may require a decrease in seeding rate because the soil has less water retention ability and can’t support as many plants. Soil fertility levels Higher fertility levels can allow for an increase in seeding rates. Fertilizer placement There have been a number of studies that show ammonia based nitrogen (urea) can cause significant reductions in seedling emergence. As well, the salt effect of other fertilizer products can also cause emergence reduction. The rates at which these occur are quite variable and depend on factors such as the crop grown, seed bed utilization, soil moisture, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Do you agree that if crop prices have to be globally competitive then input prices also have to be globally competitive?

PRODUCTION

Tillage systems Excessive tillage may cause soil crusting, which will make it difficult for seeds to emerge and thus require an increased seeding rate. On the other hand, studies show an increase or decrease in emergence on no-till versus conventional tillage. Of course, the increase would be in dry conditions. Type of seeding system Seeding equipment has increased considerably over the last 20 years, but we still have a wide variety of seeding tools. Some growers still seed canola by broadcasting it in front of an air seeder. This can be effective but may require a higher seeding rate.

And finally, if you haven’t guessed already, the biggest impact on emergence is the weather that follows planting. Hot, dry winds or warm temperatures or one cm of rain will dramatically change the emergence of a crop. As well, there may be other reasons for increasing or decreasing a seeding rate, including: • Weed populations: High weed pressures require a higher seeding rate. • Available moisture: High moisture levels allow for higher seeding rates. • Growth habit: Higher seeding rates can reduce or prevent branching of some plants and reduce yield. • Yield compensation ability: Some

When you donate to the Ginty Jocius Brain Cancer Research Fund Most of us are aware of the more common types of cancer: lung, breast, colorectal and prostate. Well-known agricultural promoter Ginty Jocius came face-to-face with a lesser-known but equally insidious disease: brain cancer. Jocius dedicated his entire working career to Canadian agriculture, working in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, running an agricultural marketing company and founding Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in 1994. His work was cut short by a diagnosis of brain cancer in 2006. Even with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, the disease took his life on January 2, 2008. In February 2015, the Jocius family started the Ginty Jocius Brain Cancer Research Fund at the Canadian Cancer Society. Until December 31 2015, every dollar donated to Ginty’s fund for Canadian brain cancer research will be matched dollarfor-dollar by Brain Canada through the Canada Brain Research Fund, a public-private partnership established by the Government of Canada. Why should you donate to brain cancer research? • Almost 3,000 Canadians were diagnosed with a brain tumour last year. • Brain cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths in children (up to age 14).

• It is the second most common cause among older adolescents and young adults (age 15-29 years).

• In adults, glioblastoma multiforme is aggressive - people with this disease survive on average only one year after diagnosis.

But there is always hope. With more scientific research, brain cancer will be detected and treated earlier. If you want to see your charitable tax-credit donation make a difference by doubling its impact in our nation’s research labs, then please consider donating to the Ginty Jocius Brain Cancer Research Fund. Together, we can make a difference!

QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS

Better genetics puts tastier beef on plate Heavy culling due to drought, combined with better genetic information have improved beef flavour BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The quality of Canadian beef is rising, and that bodes well for consumers’ continued willingness to pay for it, says beef expert Larry Corah. Corah, the vice-president of supply development for Certified Angus Beef, said grade information in Canada and the United States shows that more beef is grading prime and triple A. “We’ve seen a little less of a trend in Canada, but the first two or three months in 2015, we’ve seen a little bit of an uptick in both the amount of prime as well as triple A beef produced in Canada,” he said. “We’ve seen the same thing in the States. We’re now over 70 percent Choice and Prime.” Major drought in Texas and other big cattle-producing states resulted in heavy culling of animals, which has improved average quality. That’s why the U.S. had a bigger quality upswing than Canada, but it isn’t the whole reason, he added. “Genetics has really started to kick

in, in both the United States as well as Canada, and genetics is going to have a great impact. It is today, and an even bigger impact in five to 10 years.” Corah was referring to Angus genetics in particular. He said 40 million pounds of Certified Angus Beef were sold in Canada in 2014, but only 26.3 million lb. were produced in Canada, indicating an opportunity for Canadian producers. He listed four key reasons for the re c e n t i m p rov e m e n t s i n b e e f quality: • High prices have changed the way feedlot cattle are managed. Prices have increased 129 percent for feeder calves but only 71 percent for fed cattle, which has prompted

feedlots to feed cattle longer and increase carcass weight. Carcass weight has a direct correlation to quality, said Corah. • Genetics for marbling have also improved. Corah said there have been huge strides in this area, and carcass grades can improve even further as producers make use of the information. • More than half of all cattle regis-

tered in Canada are Angus, and 55 to 60 percent of all bulls turned o u t i n t h e U n i t e d St a t e s a re Angus. “Certain breeds marble and certain breeds don’t marble,” he said. • The Holstein impact is more of a factor in the U.S. because of its larger dairy industry. Holsteins make up nearly 20 percent of U.S. cattle slaughter, which is up from 15 percent several years ago. The U.S. dairy herd hasn’t shrunk but the beef herd has, so Holsteins now make up a higher percentage of the mix, said Corah. Holstein cows bred to Angus bulls can increase overall quality. Tenderness used to be the main selling point for beef but that has

shifted, Corah said. “If you look at consumers and what they desire, we have moved away from tenderness being the focus on beef products. It’s still very important … but they have generally moved away from tenderness to flavour, and that’s what’s really driving.” It’s the main reason that South America is one of the fastest growing markets for North American beef. Though Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay produce millions of cattle, the heavy Brahman influence prevents them from achieving high quality grades, Corah said. South Americans eat a lot of beef, so if they can afford Prime and Premium Choice beef from Nor th America, they will buy it for its superior flavour. “We can compete globally because of producing that kind of product, so I think the marketplace is clearly starting to tell us exactly what this high quality product will do domestically and globally, and it presents a great opportunity,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

CLEANING UP

ANIMAL WELFARE

Humane societies seek support of livestock groups Canadian Federation of Humane Societies calls for stronger animal cruelty penalties BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies wants the federal government to strengthen the criminal code’s animal cruelty section. The society wants support from livestock groups for an updated national law that would apply heavier penalties against those who are negligent or deliberately cruel, said Barbara Cartwright, chief executive officer of the society. Those who work with animals need to be involved or a new law could be unsatisfactory, she added. “We could end up with a really willy-nilly law in place of what we really want, which is strong protection from cruelty to animals,” she said during the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting in Ottawa March 10-12. She said undercover videos will expose more livestock operations for bad behaviour, which will prompt upset constituents to contact their government representatives to demand that they do something. Five private members bills have been introduced in the House of Commons dealing with the issue, and a government bill is on the table to address the protection of service and law enforcement animals. Laws have been tabled in various forms since the 1990s, but none passed. Most provinces have updated their legislation in the last seven years, but a single national law would apply a national standard across the country and could carry more severe penalties for offenders. “When you are charged under the provincial act, your conviction doesn’t follow you,” she said. “We know from science people move from criminal acts on animals to criminal acts on humans.” The humane society wants all animals protected, whether they are domestic or wild. It also wants the language of any new legislation changed from willful neglect to negligence because it is difficult to prove the will of the person at the time. A new law with more specific language could also charge those who promote and stage animal fights. “The only way you can be charged with animal fighting is if you are caught in the act of the animals fighting,” Cartwright said. Animals should also be moved out of the property section of the criminal code because they are conscious beings, she added. She said the National Farm Animal Care Council could help develop a stronger law that all groups can accept. “It is important for us as industry who all work closely with animals to get a law that is what we want to see,” she said.

We could end up with a really willy-nilly law in place of what we really want ... BARBARA CARTWRIGHT CANADIAN FEDERATION OF HUMANE SOCIETIES

The CCA did not make a commitment to the humane society. “We have to have the discussion on what we want to see and see if there is a common ground,” said Pat Hayes, co-chair of the organization’s animal health committee. He said livestock groups should be involved to help develop a reasonable law. The CCA was involved in writing an updated code of practice for humane cattle handling, which raises standards for care well above what the criminal code states, said Ryder Lee of the CCA. “We spend our time with codes of practice and industry standards that are well above that. That is where we put our focus,” he said. However, he said a national law that provides the same standards across the country is desirable. “We would like consistency across the country so a different province doesn’t mean a different reality,” he said. “The CCA is more interested in producers doing the best they can and making a good living at it.” Provincial statutes are different across the country. Manitoba references the codes of practice, and charges may be laid referring to the code of practice, said Michelle Follensbee, manager of livestock welfare with Alberta Agriculture. Alberta has an animal protection act that is meant to protect animals from people. It usually means giving authorities the right to step in and attend to animals that are or are likely to be in distress or are not receiving care. “Whether or not a person intended an animal to be in distress is a question we ask,” she told an Alberta pork producers conference call. “We are asking about the outcomes for the animal.” The Alberta act is complaints driven. “If an animal is deemed in distress, it can be seized and it can be euthanized without there ever being a conviction,” she said. Alberta recognizes industry codes of practice, but they are not referenced in the legislation. However, they could be referenced in a court case. “The provincial act offers a basic level of protection to all animals,” she said. “The code of practice is above and beyond that.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

B.C. DAIRY PRODUCERS

Undercover video results in new welfare program BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — British Columbia dairy producers were not prepared for the public backlash when an undercover video showed cows being abused on a Chilliwack farm. “We were ill equipped for a crisis of this magnitude,” said Jim Byrne, chair of the B.C. Milk Marketing Board. “We had never had anything like that before. None of us had experience in how to deal with that kind of crisis.” The crisis led to a mandatory animal welfare program for B.C. dairies, which goes into effect May 1. Video footage was taken of animal abuse at Canada’s largest dairy, Chilliwack Cattle Sales. Eight employees on the night shift were fired, but animal activists and the

public demanded that more had to be done. Major processors would not accept the farm’s milk, so 80,000 litres per day were delivered to an anerobic digester in Washington state. Consumers did not like dumping milk and said it should go to food banks, but food banks could not handle unprocessed, unpackaged milk. “All we could do was dump the milk and pay for it,” Byrne told the Western Dairy Seminar held in Red Deer March 11-13. No one was really in charge during the early days of the maelstrom, so the milk board decided to take control of the situation. “Because there was no one else in control in British Columbia, no one that could take control because there was no legislation for it, we took it upon ourselves to enforce animal welfare standards,” he said.

The board worked with veterinarians and the SPCA to visit the farm, and an animal welfare committee was formed comprising government representatives, the province’s chief veterinary officer, the Farm Industry Review Board, legal counsel, Dairy Farmers of Canada, processors and dairy organizations. It met within a few weeks to develop a plan. Two months later, the provincial supervisory authority directed the province’s five supply managed commodities to write an animal welfare plan to ensure animals were protected. The dairy code of practice is incorporated into the new standard, and independent inspectors will visit farms. The welfare program will be reviewed in two years to make sure it is working properly for the province’s 500 producers. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

HORSES

New horse pulmonary disease has few treatment options ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

quine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis, a newly discovered respiratory disease in horses, severely affects the lungs and greatly reduces their ability to exchange oxygen. First described in 2007 in North

America, this rare disease has since been found to affect horses in Europe, New Zealand and Australia. It is probably a disease that went unrecognized rather than one that is completely new. Even though it is rare, the disease is severe with limited treatment options and few survivors. Horses affected by EMPF suffer from weight loss, mild fever and varying degrees of breathing difficulty, which can include rapid and laboured breathing and reduced exercise tolerance. The average age for affected horses is 14.5 years old, and there does not seem to be a sex or breed predilection. Normal lungs should be fluffy and

pink, like a strawberry gelatin salad. Air enters the lungs with each breath, where it is dispersed into millions of thin-walled sacs called alveoli. Tiny blood vessels run directly beside these alveoli, allowing blood to pick up fresh oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is breathed out and the cycle begins again. Horses with EMPF have deposits of extra, dense fibrous tissue, which thickens the alveolar walls and decreases oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The fibrosis also likely prevents the lungs from expanding and contracting normally. This fibrosis consists of the same type of connective tissue that occurs in tendons. If the normal alveolar lining were like tissue paper, this fibrosis would be like laying down a brick wall. These areas eventually progress to form variably sized, dense lumps. These reduce the ability of the horse to breath properly and could be lifethreatening. Researchers have linked EMPF to an equine herpes virus, EHV-5, which is distantly related to the herpes viruses (EHV-1) associated with abortions, upper respiratory tract inflammation (rhino) and neurological disease. Infection with EHV-5 is widespread in horse populations, but usually there are no signs of illness. However, researchers think EMPF i s a n a b n o r ma l i n f l a m mat o r y response to the viral infection rather than direct damage from the virus itself. It could also be that certain strains of EHV-5 are more likely to cause EMPF or that certain horses have a genetic predisposition to developing the disease after becoming infected. Some horses infected with this virus also develop lymphoma, a form of white blood cell cancer. Diagnosis of EMPF is challenging because respiratory signs are similar to other, more commonly diagnosed lung diseases, including pneumonia (shipping fever) and heaves. Ruling

Pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis requires listening to a horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lungs. | out these other causes of respiratory illness is the first step in diagnosing EMPF. Diagnostic tests include listening to the lungs with a stethoscope, blood work and X-rays. Fluid samples collected from the airways can be tested for EHV-5 and signs of inflammation. As well, an ultrasound-guided lung biopsy to obtain tissue can be examined for microscopic evidence of fibrosis. The presence of EHV-5 and confirmation of the microscopic fibrosis by a pathologist is the current standard for diagnosis. The diagnosis can also be made from an autopsy examination, as long as the veterinarian is aware of the disease and collects the appropriate samples for testing. Treatment includes supportive care such as intravenous fluids, supplemental oxygen and anti-inflammator y steroids to reduce lung inflammation and fibrosis.

Some horses have been treated with antiviral medications, although there are probably too few reports to determine if the medication is effective, and they can be prohibitively expensive. The discovery of this disease in horses may shed light on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a similar condition that affects people. It has been speculated that the human disease is also associated with a chronic herpes virus infection. Ongoing research into EMPF may improve diagnosis, treatment and prevention in horses, but it also might be an important model for understanding the similar disease in people.

SPRING

Set low goals because some jobs take forever COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

Time to tackle projects that should’ve been done ‘a while back’

he weather has warmed up considerably in our neighbourhood, making it feel like spring. That’s an odd feeling for us in North Dakota as the solstice turns to spring, to have our actual weather match the officially designated season. It makes the kids want to play catch and ride their bikes when they get off the school bus. It makes me feel like being outside, working in our shop where the inside temperature is perfectly synchronized with the outdoor temperature, and catching up on a few assorted projects that I started a while back. When I say, “a while back,” it reminds me of when my dad used to say, “here the other day.” In later years, he would say that and mom would remind him that “here the other day” usually meant anywhere from five months to 15 years ago in actual calendar time. Time flies, I guess, and it usually flies faster and farther as we get older. It’s the reason we look at our children’s rate of growth and maturity in disbelief, and wonder how it could be that our friends are becoming grandparents and that we somehow received notice of a 25 year, or more, school reunion. One of the projects I’d started “a while back” was to put some electric lights in a small pole building I had built years ago with the help of a couple passing neighbours and relatives. It’s used mostly for storage, but I also have a horse pen and a hitching rail next to it so it’s become my tack shed and the place to keep our saddles out of the weather. Sometimes,

we start out early with the horses, or ride late in the evening, so I figured a little illumination would be handy. I had an electrician run a line out and put an electric breaker panel in there …five years ago? Here the other day. I went to the store and bought the things I would need: switches, outlets, little blue boxes, lamp holders, wire and wire staples and wire nuts … four years ago? Just here the other day. Now, with this warm weather, I gathered up my pliers and screwdrivers and wire stripper and decided I was going to “let there be light” in our saddle shed. I’m no master electrician, but I am a ranch electrician. I can run wires out of a panel and put in some outlets and lights and simple switches. I can even do a three-way switch if I go to our shop that was wired by a real electrician, look at things and remind myself what to do with that extra red wire. My cardinal rule is to make double and triple sure that the power is off on the start of the wire before I start messing with the end of the wire. I gathered up my plastic bags of electrical pieces and parts from the hardware store that had been lying in that building for “a while now.” I picked up the plastic bags and they disintegrated completely, dropping my new supplies on the ground. I don’t know what the rate of deterioration is on good petro chemical plastic. I’d always heard that plastic would live on a lot longer than we do. Maybe the bags were sitting in the sunlight. Perhaps they had some biodegradable cornstarch components. But, in any case, my period of procrastination outlasted the plastic. The lights are now on, and I have a new goal for my long list of other projects: make sure to complete them faster than their plastic bags of supplies break down in the environment. It’s not a high bar. We can do this.

Veterinarian Aaron Gibbons defends hormone implants as a necessary part of a modern and efficient beef operation. | FILE PHOTO ANIMAL HEALTH

Beef hormone hullabaloo overblown, says vet BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Hormone implants in beef cattle have gained public attention in recent years, but a veterinarian says consumer concern over hormones in meat is not well founded. Dr. Aaron Gibbons said hormones ingested in beef are small compared to the amount that is naturally produced by the human body and contained in other food, including vegetables. Gibbons told the L ethbr idge branch of the Alberta Institute of Agrologists that hormones have been used in the livestock industry for 50 years and there are no known ill effects from their use. An improperly applied implant will occasionally cause an abscess in an animal’s ear. He also said feedlot heifers without implants are more likely to be ridden by other animals in the pen.

Cattle hormones consist of estrogen and a type of testosterone, said Gibbons. Beef from a steer without implants contains eight nanograms of estrogen per pound — a nanogram is one-billionth of a gram — while beef from an implanted steer has 11 nanograms per lb. Levels are similar in implanted versus non-implanted heifers. Beef from a pregnant heifer has 700 nanograms per lb. For comparison purposes, he said one birth control pill contains 35,000 nanograms of estrogen, which is the equivalent of all estrogen from 5,500 lb. of beef from implanted steers. Gibbons said technology has made food production more efficient and those who reject it must consider the potential environmental and economic impacts. “We wouldn’t have the supply we have (without implants),” he said in an interview after his presentation.

“It’s just simple. We see in the industry heavier carcasses than we’ve ever seen. If we took away implants, unless we’re willing to spend a lot more, because that means we’ve got to have more cattle, we’ve got to have more land to raise those cattle, we’ve got to put more feedlots back in.… What impact does that have on the environment? All those things have to be considered if you want to take away some of the technology that we have.” Gibbons said North America produces 30 percent of the world’s beef with 12 percent of the cattle, and implants are a key part of that production. Cattle without implants are more likely to grade Triple A because they have more fat. Implants cause animals to grow more muscle rather than additional fat. barb.glen@producer.com

ANTIBIOTICS INVEST IN QUALITY®

Yeast product touted as alternative LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A Calgary-based developer of livestock products says one of its products could replace a growth-promoting antibiotic in the broiler chicken industry. Maxi-Gen Plus, which is marketed by Canadian Bio-Systems, has been in commercial use for several years, but recent studies show it could replace virginiamycin, an antibiotic used to promote growth in chickens. The product is yeast-based, and its formulation was based on research trials at the University of Manitoba, a ccording to a co m p a n y n e w s release. “Stressors such as disease, initial transportation and stocking density

that negatively affect broiler chicken profitability have traditionally been managed by in-feed antibiotic treatment,” Rob Patterson, technical services manager for CBS Inc., said in the news release. “However, new research has shown that alternative nutritional technologies can also alleviate production stressors and deliver similar performance to in-feed antibiotic products.” The company said Maxi-Gen Plus could be an alternative, considering the greater public attention to antibiotic use in poultry. It quoted a study that compared the product to virginiamycin in broilers, in which weight gain under both options was equal.

PFM Capital now controls the former Hudye Soil Services in Norquay, Sask. |

AGRIBUSINESS

Hudye renamed following sale Staff and services remain the same after business rebranded as Prairie Soil Services Ltd. BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A familiar name in Saskatchewan’s agricultural retail landscape is gone, but the business carries on under new ownership. Hudye Soil Services Inc. is now Prairie Soil Services Ltd. after the Hudye Group, based in Norquay, Sask., announced its sale to two investment funds managed by PFM Capital Inc., an employee-owned investment management company in Regina that manages seven private equity funds. Two of those funds, SaskWorks Venture Fund Inc. and APEX Invest-

ment Fund II LP, bought Hudye for an undisclosed price after the Norquay company solicited a buyer. General manager Parker Summers remains at the company, as do the 14 full-time employees and about 26 seasonal workers. He said it’s business as usual, including the financial platforms and the popular Canola King Challenge and Field of Dreams projects that Hudye offered. “We get to continue to operate this business as an independent ag retail, with the processes and the model that have been tried, tested and true over the last 32 years,” he said. He expects PFM will let its new

acquisition continue as it has as long as financial success continues. Prairie Soil Services includes three Saskatchewan locations at Norquay, Kamsack and Sturgis. Summers said each location serves a 100-kilometre radius. “We do have customers that are as far away as Yellow Grass, (Sask.),” Summers said. “Being an independent ag retail is really important for how we do it — the full service kind of premium approach. We’re never the cheapest, but we provide value for what these guys are buying.” The Hudye Group began as a small family farm in the 1940s and grew to include 20,000 acres in Saskatche-

wan, 16,000 acres in the United States and a bison operation. It sold its Canadian farmland in 2012 and its U.S. farmland in 2014 and is now focusing on residential and commercial real estate in the U.S. PFM has other agricultural interests, including farmland ownership through its TopSoil Farm Land Management Series. Summers said he expects the new owners will also be community-oriented, as the Hudye family was. “They’re really comfortable and really confident in PFM coming in,” he said. “It really is like changing the seven letters on the highway sign.” karen.briere@producer.com

Baird nominated for CP board post

China to open water markets

Former foreign affairs minister one of 13 people up for expanded board

BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China will give foreign companies more access to invest in large water projects as the government looks for ways to finance a massive infrastructure program aimed at tackling chronic shortages. The country, which is desperate to maintain basic self-sufficiency in food and energy, is trying to make better use of its scarce and heavily polluted water. To do so it needs to recruit private capital to finance several multibillion-yuan spending

John Baird, who recently resigned as federal foreign affairs minister, has been nominated to sit on the board of directors at Canadian Pacific Railway. Baird is one of 13 people nominated to sit on CP’s board, which will expand to 13 members from 11,

according to a company management proxy filed with the regulator. The position pays $235,000 a year. CP investors must approve the nomination. Regulatory documents filed by CP show that company president Hunter Harrison earned the equivalent of $17.6 million last year. In addition to a base salary of $2.4 million, Harrison earned $3.66 mil-

lion in share based rewards, $3.66 million in options, an annual bonus valued at $7.3 million and additional benefits valued at nearly $600,000, which includes personal use of company aircraft. CP paid Harrison $7.2 million in 2013 and $49.1 million in 2012. brian.cross@producer.com

It will allow foreign participation in projects but will favour Chinese private investors as partners when it comes to running joint projects with local governments. Urban water supply projects will be limited to majority-owned Chinese enterprises. China also plans to make local water prices more market-oriented in a bid to improve profitability in the sector. Prices have long been low, encouraging waste and deterring investment.

BUSINESS KNOW-HOW

Small sideline can become major undertaking THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

onnie Cook agonized over charging an extra $1 to hem a pair of pants but never thought twice about launching a global business selling movie-inspired clothes. As well, she was actually relieved to learn she had it all backwards when it came to managing employees. These three moments are a condensed primer on how even a modest home-based business can become something extraordinary. The tale doesn’t take place on a farm, although it easily could have, and holds lessons for any small business owner who dreams big. Cook’s company, AbbyShot ,isn’t well known, unless you’re a die-hard fan of hits like The Matrix, Doctor Who or the Devil May Cry video game. The company makes highquality “wearable” versions of coats, jackets, and other clothing inspired by the characters in these popular series. It has sold tens of thousands of these items to customers in 53 countries. Coats selling for around $300 are a staple. And it all started with a stay-at-home mom in Mount Pearl, southwest of St. John’s, N.L., sewing for friends and neighbours. When she started 35 years ago, Cook charged $1.50 for hemming pants because that’s what a jug of milk cost. However, grocery prices kept going up. “I was afraid of charging too much. I remember worrying about asking for $2.75 for hemming,” says Cook. “I probably worked for 50 cents an hour for many years.” Of course, hemming didn’t take that long. Not like those special projects she was asked to make: a fancy housecoat, Halloween costume or flower girl’s dress. She spent hours modifying patterns and choosing the perfect fabric. “Oh, it was so rewarding,” Cook says. “There’s nothing like making a little girl a beautiful puffy pink dress and when she puts it on, she swirls around and around in your sewing room.” Then in 2002, she was asked to make a coat just like the one Keanu Reeves wore in The Matrix. “We sold it online for $350 and used that money to buy fabric for two more coats. Then we got orders for four more. That’s when we realized this was a business opportunity.” That’s the first key lesson: if your home business is a labour of love, whether sewing, crafts, welding or modifying equipment, you are learning invaluable skills. “I couldn’t have just decided one day, ‘oh, I think I’ll start selling sci-fi clothing,’” says Cook. “A home-based business takes diligence and commitment. It just teaches you so much.” Seizing her opportunity brought a whirlwind of change — e-commerce, continual website upgrades, outsourcing production to Asia and building a design and marketing team. The second key lesson is about hiring employees. And guess what? Working alone in a home-based

business is not great preparation for one of the most challenging parts of any business: managing people. Although she hired good people, Cook found that her human resources headaches shot up in lockstep with sales. “I was just so frustrated,” she says. “They just weren’t doing what I wanted them to do. I thought I was communicating clearly, but somehow it wasn’t coming through.” She took professional development courses and learned to her joy that she was doing it all wrong. Out went guilt-tripping and in came a “no-blame” environment. Everyone shared in decision-making and problem-solving.

The logic behind these and other changes isn’t simple, but it comes down to basic things: people don’t always perceive things as you do, listening takes effort and making employees’ goals part of the business plan changes everything. It’s not a quick or easy process, so get help, says Cook. Take classes, find mentors and coaches and read business management books. Double, Double by Canadian author Cameron Herold is her top pick. But that’s not the second lesson. It’s believing the effort is worth it. “Making it about my employees was life-changing for me,” says Cook. “You should be here when someone has a problem. All of a sudden, people

gather and say things like, ‘I can do this’ or ‘how about we try this?’ or ‘If I did this, would it help?’ This team pulls together like nobody’s business.” There you have it. Want to make your farm-based sideline into a “real” business? Your passion, dedication and long hours spent doing something you love is a great foundation for a business. To make that business soar find a way to inspire others so the passion still burns when it’s no longer just you. Archived columns from this series can be found at www.fcc-fac.ca/learning. Farm Credit Canada enables business management skill development through resources such as this column, and information and learning events available across Canada.

Entrepreneur Bonnie Cook advises those planning to start a business to take classes, find mentors and read business management books. | ABBYSHOT PHOTO
