By any measure, Saskatchewan 

agriculture has moved to the head of 

the class among Canadian provinces 

as a money generator. 

Last year, the province’s farms generated 

a realized net farm income 

(receipts minus expenses and depreciation) 

of $2.847 billion, 58 percent 

higher than the previous year and 

150 percent higher than its closest 

rival, Quebec. 

And Statistics Canada farm income 

and cash receipts data published 

Nov. 26 suggest another great year in 

the making. 

To the end of September, farm cash 

receipts in Saskatchewan were $8.6 

billion, seven percent higher than 

last year’s record performance. 

Gail-Ann Breeze, a Winnipegbased 

farm income analyst in the 

Statistics Canada agriculture division, 

said in a Nov. 26 interview that 

the province had benefited from generally 

favourable weather and good 

crops, high prices for its commodities 

and increased marketings. 

“Those three things coming together 

explain the numbers,” she said. 

In contrast, Manitoba recorded a 17 

percent decline in realized net 

income, largely because of floodaffected 

production reductions. 

Last year, the Alberta farm economy 

climbed out of a significant loss 

from the year before to a $367 million 

realized net farm income. 

This year, Alberta farm cash 

receipts have been the strongest 

among provinces. 

Nation-wide last year, Canadian 

agriculture chalked up a record 

$5.677 billion in realized net income, 

a 53 percent increase from the previous 

year.

Richard Phillips, executive director 

of Grain Growers of Canada, said the 

farm income numbers reflect the 

new reality of agricultural prosperity. 

During a Nov. 26 GGC board meeting, 

a Bank of Montreal economist 

targeted agriculture as an industry 

with strong prospects. 

“I really think this shows we are in a 

new era in agriculture,” Phillips said. 

“We will not see records every year, 

but we will see good returns, strong 

land prices and a very strong base for 

the industry.” 

Statistics Canada said higher farm 

cash receipts came from almost 

across-the-board increases in farm 

receipts from major prairie sectors: 

grains, oilseeds, cattle and hogs. 

Cattle prices were up 19.5 percent, 

but receipts increased just one percent 

because of fewer animals to market.

FARM INCOME | FROM PAGE ONE 

Sask. leads nation 

After years in the economic doldrums 

and continuing complaints 

of losses, the hog industry last year 

saw a 15.5 percent increase in 

receipts to $3.9 billion because of a 

sharp price rise, according to Statistics 

Canada. 

Expenses also increased acrossthe-board 

but were eclipsed by the 

sharp rise in prices. 

And two provinces, Newfoundland 

and British Columbia, recorded realized 

net income losses last year. 

For the second consecutive year, 

the B.C. farm economy was in the red 

with losses growing to -$73 million 

last year from -$52 million in 2010. 

Program payments also rise 

Ironically, payments to farmers 

from government-supported programs 

also increased across the 

country, adding to the record farm 

income. 

The federal agency said program 

payments last year in the midst of 

record prices increased more than 11 

percent to $3.5 billion. Higher crop

FOOD SAFETY | CAPITAL PACKERS 

Ineffective recall program 

sparks licence suspension 

Meat packing plant must take corrective actions: CFIA 

BY MARY MACARTHUR 

CAMROSE BUREAU 

For Capital Packers, the devil is in 

the paper work. 

The Canadian Food Inspection 

Agency didn’t suspend the Edmonton 

packing plant’s licence Nov. 22 

because of tainted food product but 

because it couldn’t adequately track 

its products once they left the plant. 

“Our licence was suspended due to 

an ineffective recall program,” the 

company in a news release. 

Capital Packers voluntarily recalled 

ham sausage after routine testing 

found listeria on an employee’s 

sleeve at the beginning of November. 

No listeria was found in any of the 

packaged meat products, but the 

company couldn’t prove, through 

paperwork, that they knew where all 

of the potentially affected product 

was. As a result, it voluntarily recalled 

certain brands of ham sausage. 

Paul Mayer, CFIA’s associate vicepresident 

of programs, said the company’s 

licence has been suspended until 

it can develop a proper food safety plan. 

and increased provincial stabilization 

payments accounted for the 

increase. 

There was a significant increase in 

farmer withdrawals from AgriInvest to 

$425 million, while AgriStability payments, 

poised to drop even more after 

new rules take effect April 1, fell more 

than 11 percent last year to $741 million. 

One of the sub-stories of the latest 

farm income data is the relative economic 

decline of Ontario among 

provinces. 

Long Canada’s agricultural powerhouse, 

Ontario last year recorded a 

significant increase in realized net 

income but still was only third in the 

country behind Saskatchewan and 

Quebec. 

This year, Ontario also placed third 

in provincial farm cash receipt totals 

behind Saskatchewan and Alberta 

for the first nine months. 

Ontario’s farm results are widely 

expected to be worse than last year 

because of a drought that severely 

damaged forage and livestock industries 

in eastern Ontario and fruit and 

vegetable production in productive 

southwestern Ontario. 

“This finding was not in a food 

product but in an environmental 

finding. These findings are routine, 

but the company was not able to 

actually pinpoint if the potentially 

affected product was under its control,” 

Mayer said during a news conference. 

“In particular, the company has 

been unable to demonstrate it has 

effective processes in place to keep 

track of its production,” he said. 

Capital Packers has voluntarily 

recalled 378 cases of meat that may 

have been affected when the positive 

listeria test was found. It is sampling 

products produced during the same 

time. 

“To be clear, there have been no 

positive samples found in food products. 

At this time, we are taking precautionary 

action based on the positive 

sample on the sleeve of a uniform,” 

said Mayer. 

It’s not the first time the CFIA has 

shut down the Edmonton plant. In 

2011, it was shut down for one week 

because of condensation and ventilation 

problems.

WILD BOAR | PEST DESIGNATION 

BY MARY MACARTHUR 

CAMROSE BUREAU 

Wild boars, raised as livestock but 

destructive when they escape, are 

pests that should be eliminated from 

Alberta, say officials in Red Deer 

County. 

Art Preachuk, agricultural fieldman 

with the county, said the animals 

should be banned before they 

become an agricultural plague. 

“We are taking this too nonchalantly,” 

said Preachuk, whose antiwild 

boar resolution will be discussed 

at a provincial Agricultural 

Service Board meeting in January. 

“They have potential to cause massive 

damage and costs to farmers.” 

At a recent U.S. weed conference in 

Missouri, Preachuk said his counterparts 

cited wild boar as the largest 

crop production problem in the 

state. 

“If the boar is on the inside of a 

fence, it’s livestock. When it escapes, 

it is now a pest. How can that be possible,” 

said Geoff Thompson, agricultural 

fieldman for Lac Ste. Anne 

County, where the wild boar problem 

has caused thousands of dollars 

in damage to crops and hay bales. 

“It’s tough to put a dollar value on 

damage by rooting. Farmers don’t 

realize how much damage is caused 

until they get on their swathers in the 

fall and fall in these big ruts. In the 

winter months (wild boar) come to 

bale yards and damage bales. I’ve 

seen lots of damage over the years 

from that,” said Thompson. 

“We do it with rats. Why don’t we do 

it with pigs?” 

Wild boar were declared pests in 

Alberta in 2008. The government has 

paid $26,350 in bounty for 520 wild 

boar. The largest payments have 

been to wild boar hunters in the Lac 

Ste. Anne county northwest of 

Edmonton. 

Quinton Beaumont, agricultural 

fieldman with Stettler County, said 

his county just reaffirmed its bylaw

SASKATOON NEWSROOM 

The Saskatchewan Pulse Growers 

election is once again embroiled in 

controversy. 

Three directors of the organization 

have taken the unusual step of handpicking 

and then endorsing two of 

the five candidates running to fill two 

vacancies on the board of directors. 

Shawn Buhr, Jim Moen and Bert Vandenberg 

recruited Robert Hundeby 

and Trevor Simpson to run in the 2012 

campaign and then threw their support 

behind the young farmers in a 

news release and in advertisements in 

community newspapers. 

That has raised the ire of other candidates 

running in the election. 

“To me it could set a dangerous 

precedent,” said Tim Wiens, a grower 

from Herschel, Sask., who has served 

for nine years on the Saskatchewan 

Canola Development Commission. 

“They’re going down a road that 

nobody has ever gone before in any 

crop development commission 

that’s out there.” 

Wiens is referring not only to this 

year’s election but what happened in 

2011 when Buhr, Moen and pulse

crop breeder Vandenberg ran as a 

slate of candidates pushing for 

reform at Pulse Canada. 

They wanted more Saskatchewan 

grower representation on the board 

of the national organization, 

improved accountability and communication 

and more joint planning 

with provincial grower groups. 

The three candidates were elected 

by acclamation when a fourth candidate 

dropped out of the election at 

the last minute. Wiens finds it disturbing 

this same group of individuals 

is now grooming two more candidates 

for the board. 

“If those two get elected and all of 

the sudden there’s five working 

together as one group and the other 

two members of the board are not 

part of those discussions, then where 

is the accountability to say that the 

decisions that will be made will be 

made in the best interest of farmers?” 

he said. 

Hundeby said he and Simpson were 

handpicked by the three directors. 

“They were trying to target young 

businessmen that would help guide 

and provide governance and direction 

to the Saskatchewan Pulse 

Growers going forward,” he said. 

declaring wild boar a pest. 

Beaumont said one of the biggest 

problems is the lack of regulations 

requiring proper fencing to prevent 

the wild boar from escaping. 

Thompson said the government 

needs to insist on adequate fencing if 

Hundeby is a 37-year-old farmer 

from Elbow, Sask., who is vice-president 

of Gardiner Dam Terminal Ltd. 

His uncle, Ron Hundeby, served on 

the SPG board with Buhr and Moen 

during their first stint as directors in 

the early 2000s. 

Simpson is a 31-year-old select 

seed grower from Moose Jaw, Sask., 

who is part of the well-known Simpson 

Seeds operation. 

The other two candidates are 

incumbent Vicki Dutton, a select 

seed grower from Paynton, Sask., and 

John Bennett, a former SPG board 

member from Biggar, Sask., who is 

co-chair of the national Pulse Industry 

Roundtable. 

Hundeby said that if elected, he 

won’t be a puppet for the directors 

who endorsed his campaign. He 

already has experience working with 

Buhr on the Gardiner Dam Terminal 

board of directors. 

His priorities are similar to those of 

the three existing directors. 

He wants SPG to have a bigger say at 

Pulse Canada, even though its representation 

was recently doubled to 

four members on the nine-member 

board of the national organization. 

Hundeby said that’s not enough for a 

it doesn’t want to eradicate the animals 

from the province. 

“You see the elk fences out there 

that are substantial. For wild boar 

you can string up some barb wire 

fence and order some pigs.” 

Phil Merrill, Alberta Agriculture’s 

province that grows 80 percent of the 

country’s pulses. 

He also wants the University of Saskatchewan’s 

Crop Development 

Centre to play a bigger role in the 

provincial and national organizations 

and wants better governance 

on the SPG board. 

Moen said Hundeby and Simpson 

were chosen because they are young 

businesspeople who come from 

excellent families that have been 

involved in the pulse industry since 

its inception. 

“People aren’t always willing to 

come forward. We felt we needed to 

provide an encouragement,” said 

Moen. 

He said the existing directors are 

not pushing any particular agenda 

and will not be block voting on all 

issues. 

“We want (the new directors) to be 

free thinkers and to bring new ideas 

and new concepts and innovation to 

the board,” he said. 

However, he acknowledged that 

they are seeking some degree of 

shared philosophy at a board table 

that has been deeply divided and 

dysfunctional in recent years. 

The slate of Moen, Buhr and Van- 

3 

rat and pest specialist, said he has 

more experience dealing with rats 

than wild boar, but believes requiring 

pig proof fencing would ease the tension 

around feral animals. 

“I really think it would have benefit, 

but I am just not sure if the (agriculture) 

department is ready to put 

those stipulations on the pig farmer. 

Personally I think they should 

because that would make it less likely 

for escapees.” 

Merrill also doesn’t know how 

receptive the government is to eliminating 

wild boar from the list of 

legitimate livestock. 

“I don’t know how protective 

Alberta Agriculture is going to be 

about our producers. There are only 

about half a dozen large producers 

and maybe half a dozen smaller producers. 

There is not a lot farmers 

involved, but I’m not sure if the 

department is ready to tell those guys 

they can’t raise hogs.” 

Earl Hagman, a wild boar producer 

from Mayerthorpe, said his livelihood 

would be wiped out if the province 

eliminates wild boar from the 

province. 

“It’s our whole livelihood,” said 

Hagman of Hogwild Specialties. 

“God, that would be unbelievable if 

they said we can’t raise our pigs.” 

Hagman said wild boar escaping 

from farms is a “legitimate concern,” 

but his biggest fencing problems are 

caused by people. At least once a 

month, his fences are cut and his wild 

boar are enticed with grain and other 

bait. 

When he caught hunters hunting 

wild boar on his property he called in 

the RCMP, who refused to lay charges 

because wild boar have been labeled 

pests. 

SASKATCHEWAN PULSE GROWERS | ELECTION 

Producer irate over pulse grower group’s election tactics 

denberg was put together by past 

chairs of SPG in response to last 

year’s sudden exodus of the organization’s 

chair, long-time executive 

director and research director. 

Wiens said the directors may have 

gone too far in their zeal for reform. 

He was shocked to see an advertisement 

in the Rosetown Eagle endorsing 

his opponents. 

“It causes me concern, but I think 

farmers can see through what they’re 

trying to do,” he said. 

Wiens was even more surprised 

that he was mentioned in the news 

release as another young candidate 

to consider. He wasn’t consulted 

about being part of the news release 

and promptly demanded to have his 

name removed. 

Wiens also has “huge issues” with 

Vandenberg, who is a pulse crop 

breeder from the CDC, making decisions 

on how farmer money will be 

spent. Vandenberg has stated he 

does not participate in funding decisions 

regarding the CDC. 

SPG sent out 16,484 ballots for this 

year’s election. Completed ballots 

must be received no later than Dec. 6. 

There was an 11 percent response 

rate in the 2010 election.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | GRAND CHAMPIONS 

Hereford bull is overall champion 

UPS Uptown ET | 

Aiming for triple crown 

STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH 

CALGARY BUREAU 

REGINA — Grant Hirsche is a man 

with a plan. 

His horned Hereford bull was 

named overall champion at the 

grand finale RBC Supreme champion 

challenge at Canadian Western 

Agribition Nov. 24. The bull was also 

champion at the World Hereford Conference 

held in Alberta this summer. 

The owner of Hirsche Herefords 

and Angus at High River, Alta., plans 

to take this two year old to the 

National Western Stock Show in 

Denver in January to vie for the 

championship there. 

“It’ll be the triple crown. He’ll win 

the three biggest shows in North 

America,” he said after judge Lyal 

Fox gave him the nod. 

Named UPS Uptown ET, the bull is 

owned in partnership with WSV 

Farm and Ranch of Calhan, Colorado 

and Upstream Ranch of Taylor, 

Nebraska. Hirsche bred the dam. 

That cow was descended from an 

internationally accepted Hirsche 

bull named GH Neon. 

This is the second time a Hirsche 

Hereford has won this prestigious 

show, which started in 1999. 

The supreme female title went to a 

Charolais cow owned by Dennis 

Serhienko, who is no stranger to this 

event. He has won it three times 

with his Charolais females and 

once with a bull. 

“It is an honour just to be here,” he 

said. He won this award two years 

ago with the dam of this year’s winner. 

It was a calf at side in 2010. 

Named SVY Starstruck 8X, this 

cow has already been flushed and 

has three other calves coming this 

year. After the show, its embryos 

will be harvested again. The winning 

calf was sold to Oklahoma 

during Agribition so Serhienko 

won’t speculate whether it will be 

back in two years’ time. 

This Hereford bull was named supreme champion and also won the champion title at the World Hereford 

Conference in Alberta earlier this year. Owner Grant Hirsche plans to take him to the National Western 

Stock Show in Denver this January. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTOS

There were 76 bulls and females in the 

ring for the Supreme Championship, 

representing shows from across

REGINA — In the sea of black and 

red Simmentals, a few traditional red 

and whites bobbed up. 

Fullblood cattle are the backbone 

of Black Gold Simmentals at 

Lloydminster. 

“That is what all our bull buyers 

wanted,” said Ryley Noble. 

He led out a yearling bull that sold 

for $16,000 to Lee Robson of Lockhart 

Simmentals of Rimbey, Alta., 

at Canadian Western Agribition 

held in Regina Nov. 19-24. 

The Nobles were pleased to see the 

bull do so well at the sale because 

fullbloods often take a back seat to 

the solid black or red cattle. 

“In our area, the demand is for fullblood 

cattle,” said Randy Noble, father 

of Ryley, 16, and Toby, 14. “In order to 

find good fullblood cattle there are not 

as many people raising them,” he said. 

The family has about 60 fullbloods 

and 30 red and black types. 

Fullbloods trace directly back to 

LIVESTOCK THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 29, 2012 

Europe and have not been crossed 

with other breeds. All the cows are 

artificially inseminated on the farm 

to keep them pure. 

The Noble family got involved with 

the new breed as soon as it arrived in 

Canada more than 40 years ago. 

“Back then, Simmentals were 

really spotted cattle with white and 

red and we were always excited 

when we got these different looking 

calves,” said Randy. 

They also added more growth to 

their herd of Hereford based cattle. 

They were sold on the new imports. 

“They just had way more performance.” 

However, the cattle also had to be 

adapted to Canadian conditions. 

South African fullblood imports 

were trendy for a time, but they did 

not have good hair coats for prairie 

conditions. 

“It did bring in a new gene pool and 

that is what we are always looking for, 

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | HEREFORD SALE 

Teen takes top prize 

YouTube a hit | Grade 12 student wants career in agriculture 

REGINA — A 17-year-old Hereford 

breeder surprised everyone, including 

herself, when she had the high 

selling bull at the national Hereford 

sale held Nov. 22 at Canadian Western 

Agribition. 

The high seller was a three-quarter 

interest for $20,000 in a yearling 

polled bull. 

The bull, YouTube, was consigned by 

Larissa Lupul, owner of Barefoot Polled 

Herefords at Foisy, Alta., and went to 

Dennis Babiuk of Brosseau, Alta. 

The bull has a long list of show wins, 

including reserve champion polled 

senior yearling at the World Hereford 

Show last July at Olds, Alta. 

The Grade 12 student owns four 

Herefords and has decided she wants 

a career in agriculture, even though 

her parents are not ranchers. Her 

mother is a nurse and her father is a 

trucker and landscaper. 

“I want to do it for the rest of my life,” 

she said. 

Her parents were not always convinced 

this was what she wanted. 

“When they see how hard I’m working 

and the respect I’m getting from 

other people, they see where I am

something different,” Randy said. 

“It has taken a lot of years of breeding 

to get the kind of cattle that we 

want to raise and that are good for 

5 

coming from,” Lupul said. 

She received help from neighbours 

who own polled Herefords when she 

was seven to acquire her first heifer 

and has steadily worked her way 

through the junior program and 4-H. 

“This has been my best year. I’ve 

been working hard for a long time to 

get here,” she said after the sale. 

The family owns a quarter section 

of land in northeastern Alberta. Her 

father named it Barefoot Farm 

because as a young man he waterskied 

barefoot in a nearby lake. 

Herefords were an easy choice. The 

cattle were quiet and easy for a youngster 

to handle. She also liked the distinctive 

red and white coloring. 

YouTube has been winning shows 

throughout its short life, but it means 

plenty of work and days off school for 

Lupul. She has missed 15 days of 

school this fall to attend shows. 

“I had to convince my math teacher 

I could come,” she said. 

To her surprise, her parents and math 

teacher were watching the sale via the 

internet, and her phone was jangling 

with congratulations from home as 

soon as she left the auction ring.

High selling Speckle Park heifer sold for $10,000 

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH 


REGINA — Jason Goodfellow has 

seen Speckle Park cattle gain international 

recognition since the first 

embryos from the unique breed went 

to Australia in 2005. 

Those first packages of genetics 

were sold at Canadian Western 

Agribition, and buyers have returned. 

About 300 to 500 embryos have 

been exported per year, and there are 

now 2,500 females in Australia, where 

Speckle Park is valued as a carcass 

breed. 

“They have surpassed us,” said 

Goodfellow, who has been involved 

with the breed all his life.

“We gave them enough to keep 

them coming back,” he said. 

The Australians have crossed the 

breed with Brahmans. The resulting 

animal maintains the distinctive black 

and white colour but loses the neck 

hump and has ears that are less floppy. 

The goal is to improve meat quality. 

“This is the only beef breed that can 

colour up,” he said. 

“They can look at it from a distance 

and know it has Speckle Park in it 

because of the colour pattern.”

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | OVERVIEW 


Show deemed success despite storm 

Strong sales | Purebred cattle sales were about $1.4 million, up by $250,000 in 2011 

BY KAREN BRIERE 

REGINA BUREAU 

Organizers of Canadian Western 

Agribition say sales were up and 

attendance was strong at last week’s 

42nd show in Regina. 

Chief executive officer Marty Seymour 

said purebred cattle sales 

neared $1.4 million, up $250,000 

over last year. 

The highlight was a two-thirds 

interest in an Angus calf for $73,000. 

“The ranch horse sale rang the bell 

as well,” Seymour said, noting a high 

seller of $14,500. 

Attendance figures weren’t yet 

available from the Nov. 19-24 show 

but he said they will be on par with 

last year’s 126,000. 

“We were quite a bit ahead of the 

plan on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. 

(The) snowstorm set us back a 

little bit, but we had an outstanding 

Friday and Saturday again,” he said 

Nov. 26. “We had a bigger Saturday 

this year than last year.” 

A twist in the weather is one thing 

visitors to Agribition can almost 

always count on and last week saw 

the gamut from pouring rain to blowing 

snow to sunshine, and temperatures 

from near zero to the minus 20s. 

The older facilities at Evraz Place 

are known for leaky roofs, and tarps 

and strategically placed barrels were 

added daily to catch the water. 

Most exhibitors seemed to take the 

conditions in stride. They know the 

facilities are aging and leaky roofs are 

almost tradition. 

But there were complaints and Seymour 

agreed that the buildings must 

be improved. 

“We’re working with the city on a 

strategy to deal with the rest of the 

infrastructure,” he said. “I think over 

the next six months we’ll have a more 

clear understanding of some next

steps.” 

Several years ago, plans called for 

the demolition of some old buildings 

and the construction of new ones. 

However, the plans stalled after the 

construction of the new Co-operators 

Centre with its six arenas. 

Plans for a new football stadium on 

the same grounds could affect 

resources available for the existing 

buildings. It will also affect parking, 

which is always a challenge during 

Agribition. 

Seymour said if the province and 

Ottawa come to the table with support 

for the grounds, then the city 

would likely follow.

facilities aren’t necessarily at the top 

of the priority list. 

Seymour noted that although 

Agribition is a large, world-class 

show, it only occupies the grounds 

for about three weeks of the year, 

including preparation, the six-day 

show and tear-down. 

However, the show does bring in 

$27 million to the Regina economy 

each year. 

Seymour also said the international 

business done at the show supports 

the aims of both the federal and provincial 

governments to increase 

trade. 

This year about 750 guests from 60 

countries registered. 

“What I noticed this year was a lot of 

U.S. cattle trade happened and our 

international business overall 

appears to be up,” he said. 

Next year’s show will be held Nov. 

11-16.

In a room full of cowboys waiting 

for media interviews, a dog named 

Lexi stole the spotlight. 

The five-year-old Border Collie, who 

won the International Stock Dog 

Championship at Canadian Western 

Agribition Nov. 20 with handler Norm 

Sommer, drew smiles and pats on the 

head as she sniffed out the room. 

Sommer of Pleasantdale, Sask., 

held the coveted Agribition belt 

buckle he won after Lexi turned in 

the best time among the top five dogs 

in the competition’s final run. He 

said Lexi might get a few treats. 

The competition drew 34 dogs from 

the three prairie provinces. 

Lexi and Sommer qualified first 

with a two-run time of 3:02, including 

the fastest time in the first run at 1:35. 

In the final, she moved three sheep 

through the obstacles and into a pen 

in 2:23. 

Sommer said his 200 ewes give Lexi 

and his nine other dogs lots of practical 

work. 

“The sheep are different at every 

competition,” he said. “There is lots 

of training. And you play a key part in 

it, too.” 

Although Sommer usually has two 

or three dogs competing each year, 

he brought only Lexi to Agribition. 

He and other dogs have made the 

final several times, but he has never 

won the title. 

Barry Breemersch and Jack of Deloraine, 

Man., turned in a run of 2:24 for 

second spot, followed by Campbell

Bison sale numbers up; prices dip slightly 

Drought may have hurt 

demand | Ontario and U.S. 

may not have been in the 

market to buy animals 


REGINA BUREAU 

Two sales to American buyers 

topped the 20th annual Canadian 

national bison sale held during Canadian 

Western Agribition Nov. 20. 

The top seller was a two-year-old 

half-Wood bull consigned by Silver 

Creek Bison of Binscarth, Man., 

which went to DD Buffalo of Woodland, 

Utah, for $20,000. 

A yearling Wood cross bull from 

Irish Creek Bison in Elk Point, Alta., 

sold for $15,000 to Rex Snyder of 

Lyman, Wyoming. 

Mark Silzer, president of the Canadian 

Bison Association, said the sale 

went well. 

“Averages on animals were down 

just marginally from the year before, 

but we had more animals in the sale,” 

he said. 

The sale grossed $245,350 on 68 

head and averaged $3,608.09. 

Some animals sold for fairly low 

prices, but Silzer said that allowed 

new producers to buy good quality 

animals at a reasonable entry price. 

“I think that some of the higherpriced 

animals, some of that is a 

result of long-term breeders that 

people know,” he said. There were 

also first-time consignors.

and you’re marketing your animals 

you have to pay your dues,” Silzer

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | SHORTHORNS, ANGUS 

Livestock runs in the family — and so does winning 



REGINA — Everything old is new 

again as far as Pat Butler is concerned. 

When she decided to offer semen 

from a Shorthorn bull born in 1967, 

she and her brother, Dice Bolduc, 

were not sure what might happen. 

However, the phone started to ring 

at her farm near Rocky Mountain 

House, Alta., once the Canadian 

Western Agribition Shorthorn sales 

catalogue was mailed to potential 

buyers. 

She has an inventory of Shorthorn 

embryos and genetics and decided it 

was time to distribute some of it. 

“I’m out of the business, but I’m 

not,” she said. 

Butler offered six vials of semen, 

which sold for $600 each to Shane 

Sawley of Melville, Sask., at the Nov. 

22 sale in Regina. Some of the interested 

bidders remembered the roan 

bull and others were looking for outcross 

genetics. 

Her family has been involved with 

Shorthorn cattle since 1898. 

Her parents, Floyd and Alice Bolduc, 

bought Olive Grove Century from 

a commercial breeder in 1970 after 

they saw an ad in the classified sec-

and Ontario this year likely meant 

some producers weren’t looking to 

add many animals, which could have 

affected prices. 

The 2011 agricultural census that 

was released earlier this year pegged 

the national herd at 125,142 animals, 

but Silzer said the number is higher. 

The census is always done in May, 

just before the calf crop for the year is 

born. 

He agreed bison numbers are definitely 

down from the high of 2006, but 

that year’s number reflected the fact 

that producers were retaining ani- 

tion of an Alberta newspaper. It was a 

polled Shorthorn, which was not 

common at that time. 

The bull went on to sire a number of 

champions, including the junior and 

senior Shorthorn champions at the 

1974 Agribition. 

The 2003 Northlands Farmfair 

grand champion bull has Century in 

its pedigree. It also sired a bull that 

eventually went to New Zealand. 

mals they couldn’t market after BSE. 

“We’ve sort of got that all cleaned 

up and I think that what we’ve got 

there now is a really good base to 

build on,” he said. 

Silzer said the CBA unsuccessfully 

asked Statistics Canada to break 

down the bison numbers to indicate 

the number of producing cows rather 

than just the total. 

“If they’re using five bison to train 

cutting horses, they’re still included 

in that number,” he said. 

“What we need to know for our 

long-term planning is what is the

The semen was drawn in the 1970s 

by Prairie Breeders. Bulls usually had 

to have a nose ring and wear a halter 

when semen was collected, but Century 

was never halter broken. The 

company managed to figure it out. 

Butler said her father wanted the 

semen as insurance in case the bull 

was hurt or died. 

“We never sold semen from that 

bull. Dad didn’t believe in it.” 

production side of this thing because 

then you can start to plan your marketing 

strategies.” 

He said the association will likely 

have to find money within its limited 

resources to collect the data itself. 

The census listed 1,211 farms and 

ranches reporting bison, with an 

average of 103 per operation. Total 

slaughter at federal and provincial 

plants was 13,260, which is half that 

of 2005. 

Meanwhile, meat prices remain 

strong, which Silzer said should keep 

existing producers in business. 

She said her father argued producers 

could buy the sons of the popular 

bull if they wanted its genetics. 

Life with livestock carried through 

the generations. 

Butler’s grandfather, Steve 

Swift,was a master livestock breeder 

showing swine, draft horses and 

Shorthorn cattle from Brandon to 

San Francisco, moving animals by 

train in box cars. 

Her mother, Alice Bolduc, was a 

sheep shearer in her teens. She was 

also the first female judge in Western 

Canada when she evaluated cattle at 

the bull sale in High River, Alta., in the 

1960s. 

Butler showed the grand champion 

steer at the Calgary Bull Sale and the 

Edmonton spring bull sale in 1960 

when she was 12 years old. It was the 

only time the same person won the 

big prize at both events in the same 

year. 

“The girls showed but they didn’t 

stay and do the work in the stalls. I 

did,” she said. 

A man was usually hired to take

DOGS | NEUTERING 

Neutering dogs at home inhumane 

ANIMAL HEALTH 

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM 

“The greatness of a nation 

and its moral progress can be 

judged by the way its animals 

are treated.” – Mahatma Gandhi 

The Saskatchewan SPCA recently 

sounded the alarm over 

the ongoing practice of homeneutering 

dogs. 

Five cases were reported this year in 

which owners applied elastrator 

bands designed for castrating calves 

to the scrotum of male dogs. 

Elastrator bands squeeze the base 

of the scrotum, reducing the blood 

flow to the scrotum and testes, causing 

the tissues to eventually die and 

slough off. This process usually takes 

a few weeks. 

While the ethics of using elastrator 

bands on any species, including 

calves, is open to debate, it is especially 

disturbing in dogs. 

First of all, the dog scrotum is less 

pendulous than that of a calf and the 

base of the scrotum is significantly 

wider. This difference in anatomy 

makes it impossible to apply the 

bands tight enough to sufficiently 

restrict blood flow. 

As well, calves are unable to lick at 

the damaged tissues, while dogs are 

notorious for licking any part of their 

skin that is in pain, itchy or infected. 

This licking behaviour leads to 

secondary infection of the scrotum 

and testicles, increasing pain, suffering 

and prolonging recovery 

compared to proper surgical castration. 

It is recommended that elastrator 

bands be used as soon as possible 

following birth in calves, usually 

within the first few weeks of life. 

These abused dogs were likely much 

older with more developed tissues 

and blood supply, which would further 

increase their suffering. 

Veterinarians are the only people 

qualified to castrate dogs. The animals 

are sedated and then given a 

general anesthesia. I always use local 

freezing as well to minimize pain. 

A small incision is made between 

the base of the scrotum and the 

penis. The blood vessels and cords 

are tied before both testicles are 

removed. 

I like to close the incision using 

sutures in the skin to minimize the 

risk of infection and pain. 

Ideally, dogs will be given longacting 

pain medication for a few days 

and be monitored for licking. Head 

cones should be worn by dogs that 

lick or those that are not carefully 

supervised in the first few days following 

surgery. 

Excuses such as veterinary care being 

too expensive are unjustified. For the 

amount of education we receive, veterinarians 

are the lowest paid of the 

health professionals. 

Furthermore, veterinary clinics must 

cover the cost of equipment, staff, supplies 

and other business expenses. 

It would be fair to assume that the 

cost of treating an elastrated dog, 

including surgery and treatment of 

infection, would exceed that of a routine 

castration. Low income individuals 

in Regina and Saskatoon can 

apply to a subsidized spay and neuter 

program for their pets. 

Why do we castrate animals in the 

first place? 

Population control is an obvious 

reason. Rampant dog overpopulation 

in many places in the world, including 

First Nations reservations in Canada, 

have contributed to dog-bite associated 

injury and is one of the leading 

causes of rabies transmission. 

Neutering also permits selective 

breeding. 

Although animals cannot speak and 

therefore have difficulty demonstrat- 


ing pain in a way humans can understand, 

it doesn’t mean pain is not 

occurring. 

It is safe to assume that since animals 

have the same nerve anatomy 

and function as humans, they perceive 

pain in the same way. 

The only difference is animals lack 

the ability to understand that the 

painful experience will end. When 

humans elect to undergo a painful 

medical procedure such as surgery, 

we have the ability to understand 

what is happening and hope for a 

future without pain. 

In essence, part of what makes us 

human is our ability to plan for a 

future. 

Animals live entirely in the moment 

A dog’s anatomy makes it impossible to neuter using elastrators without 

causing pain and possible infection. | FILE PHOTO 

without the ability to hope for a better 

existence. 

If you must use them, keep elastrator

WPEDITORIAL OPINION 

AGRONOMICS | REWARD OR PUNISH? 

Promote good stewardship 

with support, incentives 

The reports are becoming more 

common and sound more 

urgent. The occurrence of severe 

weather events is on the rise. 

In Canada, that can lead to invasive pests 

creeping into the Prairies. Glyphosate resistant 

weeds are making their way north and 

diseases such as aster yellows and clubroot 

are more likely to thrive in warmer, more 

humid conditions. 

As well, we’ve witnessed more floods during 

the past few years, particularly in Manitoba, 

which further encouraged an 

increased flush of weeds and plant disease. 

In the United States, farmers have just 

come through the biggest drought in 50 

years. 

Most of the world’s scientists point to 

these as evidence that global climate 

change is starting to assert itself. While the 

proof won’t be in for years, severe weather 

extremes appear to be a factor that farmers 

will have to come to grips with. 

These environmental challenges to crop 

production come at a time when farmers 

are being asked to increase production to 

feed an exploding world population. 

The challenges are clear, but how we 

address them is a path that remains open. 

One radical suggestion was raised at the 

Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities 

recently. A resolution from the 

floor asked the group to lobby the government 

on crop insurance eligibility. It suggested 

that crop insurance coverage be 

refused in cases where a farmer grows two 

consecutive years of clubroot susceptible 

crops in the same field. 

While farmers are generally constrained 

by what they can seed on rotation, 

there may be years in which high 

prices entice some to grow the same 

crops back-to-back on the same fields. 

Canola’s high prices of late may make 

such practices attractive. 

But for the most part, farmers see proper 

rotations and sound agronomic practices 

as their best chance for long-term 

sustainable production and income. 

The SARM resolution is unlikely to be 

successful, but similar ideas have been 

floated in other arenas. 

The Conservative government 

has won enthusiastic reviews 

from many farm groups for its 

promotion of its trade agenda. 

Market access is part of the Growing 

Forward 2 agreement, and the Conservatives 

created the market access 

secretariat within Agriculture 

Canada. 

It is not an exaggeration to argue that 

this government really has substitut- 

During farm bill discussions in the U.S. 

this spring, the concept of tying farm 

insurance to certain farming practices 

was bandied about. 

The argument goes that because insurance 

payouts will bear the brunt of the 

costs for bad agronomic practices, participation 

should be conditional on farmers 

adopting environmentally and agronomically 

sound practices. 

Wrong approach? 

The key question is whether such an 

approach would really work or even be 

desirable. Canadian farmers are among 

the most innovative already and have 

been quick to take up minimum tillage, 

the latest in plant genetics and other 

innovations that promote stewardship 

and boost productivity. 

Farmers have been asked to do more 

and more on thinner margins and most of 

them are well aware of what is best for 

their particular circumstances. Their 

long-term and short-term survival 

depends on it. 

They depend on the long-term health of 

the land for their livelihoods and understand 

the need to treat it well. They know 

they must respond to floods and new 

disease and weed pressures, or they 

won’t be in business for long. 

Restricting insurance eligibility to those 

who use certain farming practices also 

runs the risk of distorting markets, where 

farmers grow what triggers the best payout 

rather than seeding what world 

demand calls for. 

The issue of how to best ensure farmers 

manage the many challenges ahead is 

something all groups will have to wrestle 

with in the future. 

Convincing farmers to adopt desirable 

practices is best done through positive 

incentives and assistance to empower 

them to make the necessary changes, 

rather than threats and punishments. 

ed trade policy for agriculture policy

Yet it still was breathtaking last week 

to hear a senior Agriculture Canada 

official enumerate the trade talks that 

Canada is involved in or wants to be 

involved in. 

Irritating and sometimes amazing 

as it may be to farmers who see their 

personal livelihood dependent on 

trade and new markets, agricultural 

trade is a contentious issue in this 

country. 

Critics, including the official opposition 

New Democratic Party, have at 

times cast a skeptical eye at the real 

benefit of agricultural export deals, 

arguing that Canada’s trade balance in 

agricultural products often decreases 

after free trade deals are implemented.

eating imports. Last year, 50 percent of 

Canadian consumption came from 

imports, which is fodder for the local 

food movement and those who argue 

that imported food is less safe and why 

can’t we generally feed ourselves? 

And in the discussion about trade 

and its importance in agriculture, 

much of the political oxygen tends to 

get sucked out of the room by the “is 

supply management on the table” 

political debate. 

But don’t suggest to an agricultural 

exporter — livestock, hogs, grain, 

oilseeds, pulses, special crops — that 

an aggressive trade agenda is not a 

good thing. 

So last week, when senior Agriculture 

Canada lead negotiator on regional 

agreements Denis Landreville 

appeared at a grain symposium in 

Ottawa, he brought a report on what’s 

happening. The most imminent, of 

course, is the possibility of a free trade 

deal with the European Union. 

It won’t offer access breakthroughs 

for hormone-produced beef or genetically 

modified crops, but it holds the 

potential for at least an opportunity to 

compete for hundreds of millions of 

dollars worth of food sales in the 

world’s largest consumer market. 

Of course, the EU wants increased 

dairy product access, so that raises the 

old export-import protection debate. 

The other big one on the long-term 

horizon is the Trans-Pacific Partnership 

talks that Canada joins for the 

first time in New Zealand next week. 

Immediate market access gains are 

not realistic, and Canada already has 

free trade or preferential access to the 

major markets in the TPP. Still, it will 

take a lot of negotiating resources. 

I’D WATCH MY STEP 

IF I WERE YOU. 

However, Landreville rhymed off a 

handful of other negotiations Canada 

has engaged in or is trying to engage in 

with India, Japan, Morocco, Ukraine, 

South Korea and maybe even China. 

These are markets that could be 

worth billions of dollars to agricultural 

exporters. 

Yet Canada’s trade negotiating infrastructure 

is limited and proposed cuts 

to the department of foreign affairs 

and international trade budget will 

not help. 

Agriculture groups, supporters of 

the agenda, have called on the government 

to show its commitment by 

increasing the negotiating budget in 

the midst of cuts. 

They have a point. Agriculture 

Canada is promising to, but it needs a 

bigger government commitment 

than that.

GM LABELLING | CONSUMER INFORMATION 

Happy consumers may buy more food 

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS 

While America was pondering 

who to elect as president, 

California was contemplating 

Proposition 37. 

It would have required genetically 

modified organisms in food to be 

labelled. It failed at the ballots, but it 

has inspired a broader referendum 

about our continental food supply. 

Some think it could influence Canada’s 

policies on food labelling in the 

not-so-distant future. 

Regardless of the outcome, California 

should be commended for 

engaging its constituency on this 

important debate. 

GMOs exist for a number of legitimate 

reasons, and the outright ban of 

GMOs in food, as some have suggested, 

would be unwise. 

Current estimates suggest 50 to 70 

percent of food sold in Canadian 

grocery stores contain GM ingredients. 

In short, they are everywhere, 

and the reason for this is simple: 

evidence shows that GM seeds 

make agriculture more efficient and 

therefore significantly affect food 

prices. 

Studies suggest that the average 

grocery bill for Canadians could go 

up as much as $400 per year should 

the use of GM ingredients be prohibited. 

Such a threshold keeps many 

Canadians from being food insecure. 

As well, to suggest GM ingredients 

pose a threat to consumers is scientifically 

precipitous. Most studies 

that draw this conclusion are either 

methodologically unsound or contain 

flawed data sets. 

Science has demonstrated that 

products containing GMOs are safe

for human consumption. However, 

they have been on the market only 

since 1994, and more research is 

obviously warranted. 

We should not be surprised by 

numerous interest groups who 

remain adamantly against the biotechnology 

industry and their 

products. 

For years, companies in this sector 

focused only on selling the virtues of 

their technology to farmers. 

As a result, consumers were left out 

of the learning curve and left to deal 

with the spectre of the biotechnological 

unknown on their own. 

Seeing an opening, lobby groups 

that oppose GMOs successfully 

occupied this information gap, 

which is why California had a 

plebiscite on the issue. 

Left to the devices of these lobby 

groups, consumers became fearful of 

GMOs, which are pejoratively called 

“frankenfoods.” 

The process leading to the seemingly 

sudden arrival of GMOs on our 

dinner plates did not respect the 

democratic leanings of our food systems, 

and the biotechnology industry 

is now paying the price. 

The many benefits stemming 

from the biosciences should be 

clearly demonstrated to consumers. 

To that end, labelling is an 

interesting option. 

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 29, 2012 

GMOs clearly need to be demystified, 

but consumers are owed an 

explanation for their existence. 

Labelling remains the most effective 

and powerful tool to properly 

communicate risks to consumers in 

real time, at points of sale. 

For example, since August, it is now 

mandatory in Canada to mention 

allergens on food labels. It was the 

right thing to do to protect more than 

one million Canadians who suffer 

from food allergies. In the case of 

GMOs, what hangs in the balance is 

consumer trust. 

We are now at a point where consumers 

deserve more clarity. Most 

can handle the science behind the 

food products they buy. 

The food industry will always get 

the consumers it deserves, many of 

whom are currently overwhelmed 

with a sense of suspicion and distrust 

of GMOs. Conveying the proper 

information could be a game changer 

for consumers and industry. 

Unlike Canada, California has the 

economic power to be a trendsetter. 

Proposition 37 was filled with loopholes 

and special exemptions, which 

would have made the legislation 

costly to implement. 

Still, we should take note and 

engage Canadian consumers on this 

important issue. 

A collective discussion on GMO 

labelling is not just about labelling, 

but more importantly it is about food 

democracy: giving consumers a 

chance to make well-informed 

choices.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION | CHANGES 

Grain commission modernization is too timid 

HURSH ON AG 

KEVIN HURSH 

There’s a great deal of agreement 

among farm groups and 

grain companies that proposed 

changes to the Canadian 

Grain Commission don’t go far 

enough. Producers are going to be 

needlessly saddled with extra costs. 

There are two positive attributes to 

the Canada Grain Act changes now 

being rushed through Parliament as 

part of the massive budget bill: 

• elimination of mandatory inward 

inspection 

When inward inspection is needed, 

it will still be there. Making it mandatory 

was putting an unneeded $20 

million cost on the system. There’s 

just no reason why rail cars leaving a 

Viterra elevator need to be inspected 

again when they arrive at a Viterra 

port facility. 

• changes in producer payment 

protection 

Producers want to know that they 

will be paid when they deliver to a 

company. However, requiring all 

grain companies to post bonds is 

tying up $600 million in working 

capital, and producers still haven’t 

always had full protection when a 

company fails. 

The government plans to replace 

bonding with an insurance-based 

system that will hopefully provide 

greater certainty at a lower cost. 

Details are still pending. 

While these two efforts are positive, 

the modernization doesn’t go far 

enough. Outward inspection and 

weighing by the grain commission 

will continue to be mandatory. Why 

not provide the option of inspection 

by private companies accredited by 

the commission? 

There are many cases where an 

overseas customer may want a private 

grade by an internationally recognized 

company. The grain com- 

mission is duty bound to provide its 

own grade at its own cost on top of the 

private grade. That’s just wasteful. 

The commission is proposing an 

increase in its user fees starting Aug. 1 

that will see the cost of outward 

inspection go to $1.60 a tonne. Private 

companies charge about onequarter 

of that amount. 

The unnecessary extra cost reduces 

what farmers receive from the export 

market. However, the cost doesn’t 

stop there. Market analyst John 

DePape argues that domestic prices 

drop by a comparable amount. For 

example, a canola crushing facility 

competes directly with the export 

price when buying canola. 

Grain commission user fees are 

going to be much higher than necessary 

because there’s a bunch of overhead 

costs that need to be covered. 

The commission’s Grain Research 

Lab in Winnipeg, its policy development 

work and its food safety function 

should be considered a public 

good paid for with taxpayer dollars 

rather than being tacked onto user 

fees. 

Although not part of this bill, user 

fees are set to rise dramatically to the 

entire industry starting Aug. 1. Only 

$5.45 million worth of grain commission 

activities will be paid by the 

government each year, and that payment 

will be static. 

System costs would be dramatically 

reduced if more activities were 

deemed to be a public good and if 

outward weighing and inspection 

were no longer mandatory, 

Most observers realize there’s little 

chance the current bill will be altered 

in any substantial way. It’s part of 

much larger budgetary legislation 

that’s going to be pushed through 

come hell or high water. 

However, there’s an urgent need to 

reopen the Canada Grain Act and 

complete the modernization process 

at the earliest possible option. This 

sounds easy, but will it happen? 

Two previous attempts at changing 

the act were unsuccessful. This current 

bill will pass, but it goes only part 

way in the modernization that’s so 

badly required.

AGRIBITION | FACILITIES 

World class 

show deserves 

better home 

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK 

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR 

There’s nothing like a nice 

November downpour to remind 

you to take an umbrella 

everywhere you go, even in early 

winter. 

On the Wednesday of Agribition, it 

must have rained at least an inch. But 

I didn’t just need the missing umbrella 

outside. I needed it inside. 

Much has been written over the 

years about the aging, power-challenged, 

leaking, drafty barns. 

This year, two barns were closed 

down, replaced by a new sale area. It 

was a good start, but it’s not just the 

barns that are compromised by wet 

weather. 

In one of the main building lobbies, 

it wasn’t just leaking, it was literally 

raining inside along one roof seam. 

Meanwhile, a large garbage can 

caught most of the rain dripping 

aggressively through the Canada 

Exhibit Mall ceiling, but it came 

down so hard it splashed people 

walking by. 

In another lobby in an older building, 

it was also raining through a hole 

in the roof, soaking the ceiling materials 

and pouring all over the floor. I 

could go on, but you get the idea. 

Enough is enough. Canadian Western 

Agribition is considered a worldclass 

show featuring beautiful, 

world-class livestock. It generates at 

least $27 million for businesses connected 

to the show. It attracts hundreds 

of international customers. 

Agribition officials have worked hard 

to generate that kind of global attention. 

What must the international 

guests think when they are dodging 

indoor rain? 

And what about the safety of the 

buildings? At what point are plaster, 

electrical wiring and wood compromised? 

Will more than rain fall down 

on our heads? 

Granted, repairs like this cost a fortune, 

and it’s therefore hardly surprising 

that a plan is still apparently 

not in place to correct the issues 

afflicting the buildings on the fair 

grounds. 

But the City of Regina, which owns 

the facilities, the Province of Saskatchewan 

and (with any kind of 

luck) the federal government must 

come up with a plan. I’m willing to bet 

that if these buildings are still salvageable, 

it would still be less expensive 

to fix them than to build a new 

stadium or two. 

After all, Agribition isn’t just some 

fun thing to do in the middle of 

November. It’s an economic driver. 

The problems have been going on 

for long enough. 

It’s time to fix them.

To the Editor: 

In a letter dated Nov. 16, minister of 

international co-operation Julian 

Fantino talked about Canada’s 

assistance on the combat against 

tuberculosis but obviously avoided 

talking about the major cuts in 

CIDA’s (Canadian International 

Development Agency) budget and 

their impacts on tuberculosisrelated 

deaths. 

The bottom line is that minister 

Fantino’s government is cutting 

$319 million over the next three 

years in CIDA’s budget, which includes 

reducing multilateral spending 

on tuberculosis control by $10 

million per year. 

As it costs about $20 per patient to 

cure this preventable disease, these 

savings represent quite a lot in terms 

of human lives.

HAY, CANADA 


Congratulations to the winners of the 2012 Monsanto Fund Opportunity Scholarship! 

OPEN FORUM 

I have read the article in the paper 

about HayEast. As a former hay producer, 

I know we went through this 

situation in Western Canada. 

When the hay was brought in from 

the east, the freight on it was about 

$170 per ton. Hay was given to people 

on a draw system. I know some of the 

hay went to people who did not need 

it, but that always happens. 

As I said, I am a former hay producer. 

I had a hard time selling my 

hay for $120 per ton that year and it 

was well advertised. 

So I think it is a waste of fossil fuel 

and taxpayers’ money to do it again, 

especially when the freight is so high. 

As I understand it, freight is estimated 

at $7,000 for 40 bales. That’s just 

ridiculous. 

When I was growing hay I had a 

hard time selling it for even $40 to $60 

per ton. I’ve known cattlemen who 

try to keep a two-year supply of feed 

on their farms. So when hay is plentiful, 

why not keep some for a bad

BILL NOT RUSHED 


I would like to correct the inaccuracies 

contained in a recent Western 

Producer article (Nov. 8) about our 

government’s Safe Food for Canadians 

Act (S-11). 

Let me start by first assuring readers 

that when it comes to food safety, the 

health of Canadians is our government’s 

top priority. Bill S-11 is an 

important piece of legislation that 

modernizes Canada’s already worldclass 

food safety system. 

To imply that S-11 has been rushed 

through the parliamentary process is 

wrong, as it does not match the facts. 

This legislation has been debated 

numerous times in both the Senate 

and the House of Commons. 

S-11 has been studied in both the 

Senate and House of Commons agriculture 

committees for over 20 hours, 

during which 46 witnesses appeared, 

including the minister of agriculture 

on two occasions. 

Both the Senate and House agriculture 

committees have done their due 

diligence in their study of S-11. 

Going forward, we will work with 

stakeholders to ensure that the regulations 

support them as they work to 

produce safe food for Canadians.

MP, Parliamentary secretary 

to the minister of agriculture,

SPILL THEORY 


Re: The article Petroleum spill 

prompts farmer to seek tougher government 

regulations (WP, Nov. 1). 

The farmer is accusing the oil company 

of dumping the crude and salt 

water. 

My guess is the trucking company 

probably dumped the water so that 

they didn’t have to wait in a lineup to 

unload, charge the oil company the 

rate per cube for disposal and continue 

on to the next job.

MAKE MINE RAW 


While I am grateful for all the good 

that a professional like Clare Rowson 

has done for the health system, I 

believe that she is misguided on her 

stance on raw milk. 

In the Q&A in her column Milk, raw 

or pasteurized? (WP, Sept. 27) she 

used statistics from the Centre for 

Disease Control. She informed us 

that between 1998 and 2006 there 

were two deaths caused by the consumption 

of unpasteurized milk and 

milk products. 

Well, I also have some statistics

from the CDC. On average, between 

2000 and 2004, there have been 

392,683 deaths a year in the U.S.A. 

contributed to the use of tobacco 

products. 

I am no mathematician, but I calculate 

the consumption of raw milk 

to have contributed to 0.25 deaths a 

year in the 28 states that it is legal. 

Compared to the deaths caused by 

tobacco, I would say raw milk should 

not even be on the radar. 

I will get to the point. If I am 

informed, should I not have the 

choice to purchase and consume raw 

milk? I can buy cigarettes and whiskey, 

but I cannot buy a glass of milk 

fresh from the cow. Not sure about 

you, but I see something very wrong 

with that picture. 

Raw milk products are currently 

sold under the pretense that they will 

not be used for human consumption. 

Can you imagine having to hide the 

fact that you are drinking milk fresh 

CELEBRATIONS | MEANING

at Christmas 

SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES 

JOYCE SASSE 

What gets people steamed up 

long before Christmas? 

The earlier the merchandising 

starts, the worse the anxiety 

buildup if we let ourselves become 

victims. 

It shows up in the over-scheduling 

of events and in the excessiveness of 

gift giving. Every organization has to 

have a Christmas party, each with an 

overload of food, drink and late 

nights. Why Christmas parties, when 

January and February, as the slowest 

months of the year, would be good 

times for a few celebratory events? 

As for gift giving, sensibility seems 

to flee as pocketbook concerns go. It 

is sad, at gift-opening time, to watch a 

youngster who wants to play with the 

wrapping while adults push more 

gifts at the child, hoping it will like 

theirs more than the others. 

I’m sorry I sound so cynical, but I 

know there are deeper rituals and 

meanings that could be attached to 

the season that would nurture our 

spirits into the future. 

The book Unplug the Christmas 

Machine suggests four things children 

want most for Christmas: a loving 

time with family, realistic expectations 

about gifts, an evenly paced 

holiday season and strong family 

traditions. 

For years, I lived next door to the 

church and the outdoor nativity 

scene. Each day there were tiny footprints 

as youngsters walked up to 

view the manger and babe. 

What thoughts went through their 

minds? What were the stories they 

would tell if we gave them opportunity? 

What new dimensions of love 

and hope could they open for us? 

For many, the depth of meaning in 

the Christmas story is like a hidden 

treasure. The ancient prophets sang, 

“The people who walked in darkness 

have seen a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2)

tough little calves grow into T-bones? 

As a proud Canadian, I believe that 

if I want to ingest raw milk, I should 

not have to seek it out as if I am buying 

an illegal narcotic. 

To end my rant, I would like to say 

thank you to all the health practitioners 

and ask that they keep an open 

mind toward alternatives to the conventional 

food system.

History shows that there were no

the Spanish brought domesticated

16th century. 

That would make the “Spanish

true. As to “European,” as far back as 

I can remember, Spain has been a 

part of Europe, therefore, our wild

domesticated horses brought to 

America by the Spanish, who also

2,4-D tolerant crop approvals draw fire from critics 

Enlist, Enlist Duo ready by 2013 | 2,4-D resistant corn and 2,4-D choline formula get regulatory nods amid health concerns 

BY SEAN PRATT 


Canada’s early approval of a controversial 

new herbicide tolerant trait is 

drawing fire from critics. 

Health Canada and the Canadian 

Food Inspection Agency have granted 

regulatory approval to corn and 

soybean crops tolerant to Dow 

AgroSciences’ 2,4-D herbicide. 

A number of health organizations 

and environmental groups denounced 

the approval of Dow’s Enlist trait, 

claiming it will lead to increased use of 

a dangerous chemical.

“Our environment, food and population 

will be increasingly exposed to 

another hazardous product,” Warren 

Bell of the Canadian Association of 

Physicians for the Environment said 

in a joint new release. 

Meg Sears of Prevent Cancer Now 

said epidemiological research shows 

2,4-D is an endocrine disrupter that 

causes elevated risks of cancers, particularly 

non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. 

Daniel Kittle, global leader for 

research and development for Dow, 

said in a news release, “Farmers 

around the world have an urgent 

need to address weed control challenges 

and this first cultivation 

approval enables delivery of one of 

the most advanced solutions.” 

The Enlist trait will first be commercialized

ON 2,4-D RESEARCH DATA 

To learn more about the entire Authority® family of herbicides,

Enlist Duo is a blend of glyphosate 

and Dow’s reformulated 2,4-D 

chemical. The new 2,4-D choline 

formulation is said to reduce drift, 

ensure the active ingredient stays 

where it is applied and decrease the 

odour associated with 2,4-D. 

Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology 

Action Network said the 

Enlist trait is a declaration of failure 

by the biotechnology industry. 

“Existing GM herbicide tolerant 

crops are failing because weeds are 

becoming resistant,” she said. 

The Industry Task Force II on 2,4-D 

Research Data said the chemical has 

undergone extensive review by regulatory 

agencies around the world, 

which have concluded the herbicide 

poses no harm to human health or 

the environment when used according 

to the label instructions. 

“For 65 years, Canadian farmers 

have depended on 2,4-D to control 

weeds in a safe and effective manner,” 

said Jim Gray, executive director 

of the task force. 

“Their trust has been bolstered by 

the rigorous scientific reviews of 

Health Canada’s Pest Management 

Regulatory Agency and other regulators 

around the world.” 

Jeff Loessin, Dow’s portfolio marketing 

leader for the Enlist trait in 

Canada, said the trait will help growers 

deal with hard-to-control weeds 

such as lamb’s quarters, velvetleaf 

and red root pigweed. 

It will also enable them to control 

glyphosate resistant weeds like 

Canada fleabane, giant ragweed, 

common ragweed and kochia. 

“Obviously 2,4-D would be doing 

the heavy lifting on those,” he said. 

Corn is already tolerant to 2,4-D up 

to the six inch stage of development. 

The Enlist trait allows growers to 

spray plants up to 48 inches in height, 

giving producers greater flexibility in 

applying the chemical. 

Dow is planning a limited commercial 

launch of Enlist corn in Eastern 

Canada in 2013. The product will be 

field tested in Manitoba next year but 

there are no plans to commercialize 

the trait in Western Canada until it can 

be bred into earlier maturing varieties. 

The commercialization of Enlist 

soybeans is being held up by regulatory 

approval in China. Corn is mostly 

sold in North America, while many 

soybeans are shipped to China, which 

refuses to start its regulatory review 

until a trait has been approved in a 

country where it will be cultivated. 

Loessin expects there will be a good 

fit for the trait in Manitoba’s burgeoning 

soybean industry. Not only will it 

enable farmers to tackle hard-tocontrol 

weeds like buckwheat, lamb’s 

quarters and pigweed, but it will also 

provide them with a tool for controlling 

volunteer canola. 

The trait will first have to be bred 

into soybean lines containing the 

proper heat units for that region. 

There are no plans to incorporate the 

Enlist trait into canola varieties because 

2,4-D is an effective way to control 

canola volunteers and many of Dow’s 

herbicides contain the chemical. 

Loessin said Dow has spent a lot of 

time developing a stewardship program 

to accompany the launch of the 

trait. It includes advice on minimizing 

drift and encourages farmers to use 

multiple modes of action to prevent 

the development of resistant weeds.

Food safety legislation passes | Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz wants work to begin quickly on creating new regulations 


OTTAWA BUREAU 

Legislation aimed at strengthening 

the food inspection system and food 

safety received unanimous House of 

Commons approval last week. 

Now, the nitty-gritty work of creating 

regulations begins. 

The regulations, months from 

being completed, will define how the 

legislation directly affects industries 

subject to Canadian Food Inspection 

Agency authority. 

During committee hearings, several 

supportive industry groups 

called for amendments that they 

said would make the bill better for 

their industry. 

In several cases, witnesses argued 

that the bill could eliminate jobs in 

import-export businesses. 

In all cases, the Conservative majority 

said legislative amendments were 

not necessary. 

Any tweaking could come in detailed 

regulations needed to implement 

the bill’s principles. 

On Nov. 20, as Bill S-11 was poised 

to pass through the House of Commons 

in a 280-0 vote, agriculture 

minister Gerry Ritz said creating the 

regulations begins now and it will be 

done in consultation with industry. 

“We want to get these new regulations 

into play as quickly as we possibly 

can, but we will certainly do it in 

consultation with the industry,” he 

told a news conference. 

Ritz said the act, already approved 

by the Senate when it reached the 

Commons, will modernize and 

strengthen the powers of the CFIA. 

Opposition MPs, while supporting 

the legislation, were critical of the

Meeting invites

BRANDON BUREAU 

Keystone Agricultural Producers 

will host a meeting Dec. 3 in an effort 

to help farmers who delivered grain 

to Puratone before the hog production 

company entered creditor protection 

in September. 

KAP has invited all the key stakeholders 

to the meeting, including the 

Bank of Montreal, Farm Credit 

Canada, the Manitoba Agricultural 

Services Corp., Puratone, Maple 

Leaf, the Manitoba Pork Council and 

the Animal Nutrition Association of 

Canada. 

Maple Leaf had confirmed it would 

attend, said KAP president Doug 

Chorney. 

Kyle Foster, a farmer from Arborg, 

will represent affected producers at 

the meeting. Foster, who sits on the 

KAP executive, delivered grain to 

Puratone before the company 

applied for protection. 

“We don’t want a mob scene,” said 

Chorney, noting the objective of the 

meeting is to get the facts on the table. 

“We’re not saying we don’t want 

farmers there. We’re trying to keep it 

orderly.” 

Conservative government for refusing 

to allow amendments and for 

pushing the legislation through committee 

with limited hearings and no 

recognition of criticisms. 

Liberal agriculture critic Frank 

Valeriote in particular objected to 

arguments from Ritz that the new 

food safety and inspection rules 

would have given the CFIA more 

power to avert the E. coli meat contamination

“But I’m not convinced that it’s 

going to be any safer than it is under 

our current system, particularly with 

respect to meat, because the Meat

He said the problem at XL was not 

legislative powers but a food 

inspection “culture” in the plant 

that led to slack supervision and 

“sloppiness.”

GRAIN DRYING | TRIALS 

Study shows grain dryer fans should run mainly at night 

Side-by-side trial conclusions | Daytime drying ineffective because fan pushes warm, moist air into bin: researchers 



Researchers say grain drying trials 

conducted this year have proven that 

aeration fans shouldn’t run continuously. 

Instead, fans should run mostly at 

night, say researchers from Indian 

Head, Sask. 

They held side-by-side trials in 

August and September, comparing 

continuous aeration to intermittent 

aeration of grain bins. 

The results confirmed an earlier 

hypothesis that grain dries mostly at 

D3152 

night, said Guy Lafond, an Agriculture 

Canada scientist at the Indian 

Head Research Farm. 

“We now have the evidence to show 

that the drying occurs as the grain is 

cooling,” he said. 

“Usually, we’re removing water 

during the coolest part of the day and 

adding water during the warmer part 

of the day.” 

Lafond and Ron Palmer, a retired 

University of Regina electrical engineering 

professor, set up a grain drying 

system this summer that 

switched the aeration fan on or off, 

depending on the amount of mois-

ture entering and leaving the bin. 

They installed a sensor that measured 

the temperature and relative 

humidity (RH) outside the bin and 

another sensor to measure the temperature 

and RH near the bin exhaust. 

The fan would switch off if more water

was entering the bin than exiting. 

“The thing that told us to turn it on 

or off was the net amount of water 

coming out of the bin,” said Palmer, 

who is best known for developing 

auto steer for tractors and is doing the 

research on grain drying for the 

Indian Head Agricultural Research 

Foundation (IHARF). 

In February, Palmer released the 

results of previous grain drying trials 

at Indian Head. The data indicated 

that grain dries mostly at night, a 

finding at odds with the long held 

assumption that grain dries when it’s 

warm outside.

“We’re putting water back in by 

continuous drying, pounds and 

pounds of it,” Palmer said. 

He suggested that daytime drying 

was ineffective because the fan pushes 

warm and moist air into the bin. The 

cold grain inside the bin cools the 

warm air, transferring the moisture in 

that warm air to the grain. 

In August and September, Palmer, 

Lafond and their IHARF colleagues 

compared their intermittent system 

to continuous aeration, drying wheat 

and barley in 2,000 bushel bins with 

five horsepower fans. The recent 

research confirmed their earlier 

results. 

“Yes. This definitely validates our 

original suspicion that the best drying 

is at night,” said Palmer. 

Running the fan during the day 

might heat the grain, which increases 

the risk of spoilage, he added. 

“Not only (is it) more efficient, it’s a 

safer approach because your grain is 

cold,” he said. 

“It’s the same reason we keep our 

food in the fridge so it doesn’t spoil. 

The same thing applies to grain.” 

The researchers found that running 

the fan continuously dries grain 

faster, in terms of the number of days. 

However, running the fan intermittently, 

when conditions are suitable 

for drying, reduced the number of 

fan hours by 30 to 40 percent compared 

to the continuous system. 

As well, the researchers observed 

significant differences in the air temperature 

of the grain. 

“(Bins) with the continuous fans, 

the grain temperature would go up 

and down like a yo-yo,” Palmer said, 

mirroring the outside air temperature. 

In contrast, the grain in the bins 

with intermittent aeration remained 

relatively cool. 

“Whereas, the control bin, it might 

be sitting at 12 degrees and go up to 15 

and then go back down to 11,” he said. 

“The controlled grain was kept 

cold…. Cold and dry is the recipe for 

good storage.” 

The temperature figures are an 

example, not actual data, he cautioned. 

The recent trials may confirm the 

previous grain drying research at 

Indian Head, but farmers shouldn’t 

make the switch to nighttime drying 

just yet, said Joy Agnew, a project 

manager for agricultural research 

services with the Prairie Agricultural 

Machinery Institute (PAMI) in 

Humboldt, Sask. 

Agnew and her fellow PAMI scientists 

have developed a grain drying 

system in which the fan turns on or 

off, depending on grain conditions 

inside the bin. 

“We assessed how the moisture 

content was actually changing, rather 

than how much water was entering 

and leaving. And our results are 

the exactly opposite of what they’re 

finding,” she said. 

“Our control strategy showed that 

the best time to dry the grain is during 

the day.” 

The debate over drying at night or 

by day will likely continue into 2013. 

Agnew and Palmer will present their 

findings to producers and fellow scientists 

over the winter. 

In fact, they will both speak in 

Saskatoon Dec. 13 at a meeting of 

Saskatchewan agronomists.

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | GOATS 

Producer improves 

herd genetics 

at Regina sale 

$1,500 goat | ‘Good genetics don’t come cheap’ 


REGINA BUREAU 

Todd Zeller paid $1,500 for a sixmonth-old 

purebred Boer doeling 

and thinks he got a great deal. 

The doeling, consigned by Venture 2 

of Steelman, Sask., to the goat sale at 

Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 20, 

topped the small sale of 15 lots. 

“We needed to top up our herd,” 

said Zeller, who operates Beatles 

Boers at Southey, Sask. 

“We’re fairly thick on the commercial 

side and are venturing more into 

the purebred market.” 

The doeling, Venture 2 KCF Abebi, 

will bring in new genetics from Eastern 

Canada. 

Zeller was bidding against a telephone 

bidder from Ontario. 

“I still got her for cheap,” he said 

after the sale, estimating the doeling 

should have earned at least $2,000. 

“Good genetics don’t come 

cheap.… I’ll get more than that back 

out of her.” 

He said it’s not good for the industry 

if everyone in Saskatchewan just 

buys each other’s stock. New genetics 

will allow him to get better control 

of his own herd, he said. 

Beatles Boers has expanded over 

the past few years from kidding 100 

does to 150. The goat operation 

complements the farm’s grain and 

commercial cattle businesses. 

Zeller thought producers at the sale 

were happy with the prices they 

received for their goats and that buyers 

were equally happy with what 

they paid. 

He said the price producers earn 

from their herds depends on where 

they are located and the proximity to 

market. He receives $2 per pound at 

his door, compared to some who 

receive $1.65 and others in Alberta 

who receive $2.70. 

Those prices dictate how much 

producers are willing to spend on 

breeding stock. 

The 15 lots averaged $881.33 and a 

total $13,220. 

On the commercial side, pens of 

two or three doelings were running 

about $350 per animal, while market 

kids brought in $120 to $145 each. 

In the show, Quebec judge Samuel 

Claire-Cote named Medicine Creek 

Yahoo of St. John Boer Goats at 

Brock, Sask., grand champion purebred 

doe. 

Reserve winner was Treeline Warning 

from Mosaic Boers at Yorkton, 

Sask. 

Venture 2 had the grand champion 

percentage doe with Venture 2 KCF 

Pascal. Mosaic again took reserve 

with Mosaic Smoothie. 

North Eden Goats from Edenwold, 

Sask., won grand champion purebred 

buck with North Eden 71Z Zoro. 

The reserve was KNR Strategic’s 

Power from St. John Boer Goats. 

In the commercial competition, 

Rockin R Ranch of Moose Jaw, Sask., 

took home banners for grand champion 

doe, R-Country 2Y and the 

champion and reserve pen of three. 

Beatles Boers won reserve commercial 

doe with Beat Molly. 

North Eden took champion and 

reserve honours for North Eden 86Z 

and North Eden 75Z in the market kid 

class.

Safety research | Barn workers videotaped 

to examine how to prevent health problems

All that pinching, squeezing and 

clipping can take their toll on a pig 

�� 

producer, not to mention the lifting, 

bending and twisting. 

Hog production has among the 

heaviest physical tasks in agriculture 

and is prone to a variety of injuries. 

Many producers do a good job of 

tracking their animals’ performance 

but tend to overlook their own physical 

well-being. 

According to recent research, this 

can have a direct bearing on a producer’s 

bottom line. 

“We know the rates for injury in 

pork production are related to the 

risk factors,” says Catherine Trask of 

the University of Saskatchewan’s 

Canadian Centre for Health and 

Safety in Agriculture. 

“We know the rates of injury in pork 

production are high. They’re high 

compared to other industries and 

they’re higher than we’d like them to 

be in order to make these businesses 

profitable.… Minimizing injuries is 

going to be a big part of loss prevention 

for this industry.” 

Trask has spent the past six months 

conducting injury prevention projects 

at five intensive hog operations 

in Saskatchewan, including the Prairie 

Swine Centre. She identified 

problems, determined their magnitude 

and decided which ones were of 

the most concern. 

Activities monitored 

Nineteen workers were videotaped 

for half an hour to two hours as they 

did specific tasks in the pig barns 

during breeding, feeding, treatments 

and vaccination, pressure washing, 

sorting and processing piglets and 

moving the dead. 

She measured the weights that 

workers were lifting and handling 

and used a force gauge to measure 

push and pull forces. 

The video was used to analyze different 

work cycles, such as how much 

time it took to process a piglet or 

complete breeding on a sow. Different 

postures and angles were also 

evaluated, along with the number of 

lifts, pushes and pulls a worker did 

and how much hand gripping 

occurred. 

Ergonomics is the study of muscle 

health, she said, but it also studies 

overall system performance, looking 

at productivity and moving into economic 

efficiencies. 

“It’s really about marrying these 

two concepts: health and productivity,” 

she said during the Swine Industry 

Symposium held in Saskatoon 

Nov. 13-14. 

She said data specific to hog operations 

isn’t publicly available, but 

tracking occupational health and 

safety claims is one way to more 

accurately measure economic loss 

from musculoskeletal disorders. 

“In Saskatchewan, about 30 percent 

of all WCB (Workers’ Compensation 

Board) claim’s costs across 

all industries are for musculoskele-

this meant about $68 million,” she 

said. 

“That’s a lot of loss. That’s a lot of 

money to leave on the table.” 

Trask’s studies in the five pig barns 

found that more than 90 percent of 

workers had musculoskeletal disorder 

symptoms. 

The lower back was the most common 

area at 80 percent, followed by 

the hands at 57 percent and the neck 

and shoulders at 55 percent.

“It’s fair to ask, since this is worker

whether this actually has an impact 

on the way workers do their work. 

They describe that it does.… Nearly 

60 percent of people said symptoms 

somewhere in their body were preventing 

them from doing their regular 

work activities,” she said. 

“At the end of the day, we know we 

want to increase revenue and decrease 

loss. There’s an opportunity 

to decrease loss when it comes to 

injury rates if we can track it as closely 

and as well as we do the pig productivity.” 

Trask wants safety to be a performance 

indicator in barns, alongside 

feed conversion ratios and other productivity 

measures. 

“You could have really great productivity 

measures on the pig side 

and if your workers are getting 

injured left, right and centre, the loss 

would be too great to still have a great 

profit.”

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | HAY 

Hay donations 

sought for East 

Drought ravaged farms 

look to West for feed 


REGINA BUREAU 

The campaign to send hay to eastern 

Canadian farmers hit by drought 

and escalating feed prices continued 

last week at Canadian Western Agribition. 

Bert Bloemendal, the Ontario 

trucker who is co-ordinating logistics 

for HayEast 2012, attended the show, 

where volunteers sought donations 

of hay and cash. 

Bloemendal operates Bert’s Repair 

and Towing in Mount Brydges, Ont., 

and became involved in HayEast 

earlier this fall when one of his four 

trucks was in Saskatchewan and 

looking for a backhaul. 

“I thought, ‘well, there’s a way to 

maybe help some farmers out,’ ” he 

said. 

Thirty loads of 30 bales each have 

already arrived in the East. 

“There’s another 40 en route for 

Ontario,” he said. “There’s another 

approximately 100 loads that are set 

to go for the same areas that are hard 

hit.” 

Bloemendal said the drought area 

is large and includes Ottawa, Simcoe, 

Welland, Tillsonburg and Owen 

Sound. 

He said some farmers were fortunate, 

but patchy rain made for patchy 

hay crops. 

Farmers who receive the hay are 

grateful and want to know where it 

came from so they can send cards of 

thanks, Bloemendal said. 

“Some are almost in tears because 

they are down to their last bale,” he 

said. 

“Some have sold their cattle off so 

they can have money to buy hay, and 

hay is at a premium this year.” 

Stories of animal neglect have also 

emerged. 

Bloemendal said all the truckers 

and companies involved in moving 

the hay are doing it out of the goodness 

of their hearts because they 

know the need is there. 

“We’re a small business in a small 

community,” he said of his own business. 

“We’re trying to do a big thing for 

people and hopefully we can help 

somebody out.”

HEALTH | GRAIN PRODUCTS 

Campaign touts 

grains’ benefits 

Cereal advocacy launches 


OTTAWA BUREAU 

Citing an avalanche of “misinformation” 

about the value of wheat products 

and a decline in consumption of 

grain products, a new cereal advocacy 

institute launches this week . 

The Healthy Grains Institute (HGI) 

has been established to react to growing 

published and social media claims 

that gluten-free and non-wheat products 

are healthier, Maple Leaf Foods 

senior communications vice-president 

Lynda Kuhn told a grain industry 

meeting in Ottawa Nov. 22. 

“Our goal will be to react to news stories 

that are not based on fact and science,” 

she told a symposium organized 

by the Canada Grain Council and 

Grain Growers of Canada. “The glutenfree 

trend continues to grow and the 

image of the wheat industry suffers.” 

She said the gluten-free target audience 

has moved well beyond those 

with celiac disease. And “fad diets” 

often target wheat as a problem. 

A primary target is American cardiologist 

and author William Davis whose 

books, Wheat Belly and Wheat Belly 

Cookbook, are runaway best sellers. 

On his blog, Davis said wheat and 

whole grains have become “incredibly 

destructive genetic monsters” 

that cause obesity, diabetes, arthritis 

and many other ailments. 

Consumption of products made 

from “all the major grain categories” 

has been declining for the past 

decade, Kuhn said. “The past 10 

years has been tough on bread.” 

The institute that was to be launched 

across the country Nov. 27 is supported 

by the Bakery Association of Canada, 

the Canadian National Millers Association 

and the Canadian Pasta Manufacturers 

Association, but Kuhn said it 

is not a front for the industry. 

The institute will offer advice from 

plant breeders, dietitians and nutritionists 

about the benefits of a balanced diet 

that includes wheat products. 

“It can’t be seen to be a flashy 

industry-sponsored marketing campaign,” 

she said. 

A member of the HGI scientific advisory 

panel said his job will not be to 

promote the industry but to keep the 

debate “factual and science based.” 

Ravi Chibbar, Canada Research 

Chair in molecular biology for crop 

quality at the University of Saskatchewan, 

said a healthy diet requires 

grain and wheat. 

“I see the (Wheat Belly) book as 

based on anecdotal evidence rather 

than science and fact,” he said. 

“Wheat and other grains that I think 

we will focus on later are essential. 

You cannot live without eating grain 

and it is healthy and to try to convince 

people otherwise is wrong.” 

He said the institute will encourage 

research on the pros and cons of 

grain in the diet. 

RURAL BUSINESS | SUCCESS STORIES 

BY RON FRIESEN 

FREELANCE WRITER 

WINNIPEG — Faye Fossay insists 

she’s not a typical farm wife. She 

doesn’t have a garden, milk the 

cows or drive a tractor. 

Instead, she looks out her office 

window at trees, fields and grazing 

cattle while running a custom 

website design business from her 

farm home. 

When needed, Fossay will pitch 

in if there’s a gate to be opened, a 

calf to be pulled or meals to be taken 

to the field during harvest. 

Fossay juggles her home business 

with farm life while raising two 

children, aged 12 and 10, with her 

husband, Bryan, on the family’s 

beef and grain operation near 

Woodlands, Man. 

Although she admits to having a 

full schedule, which sometimes 

means working more than 60 hours 

a week, Fossay said she wouldn’t 

change a thing. 

That’s because she is so passionate 

about being her own employer and 

providing a service that is in high 

demand by businesses these days. 

Fossay, 38, told her story to the 

Manitoba Farm Women’s conference 

in Winnipeg in November 

during a panel discussion on rural 

home-based businesses. 

Other Manitoba participants 

included Heather Kurbis, who sells 

vegetables and food products from 

the family farm near Beausejour, 

and Karen Friesen, who operates a 

market garden near Morden. 

All three described the satisfaction 

of operating an independent 

home business. 

“Don’t think about starting up a 

home-based business unless it’s 

something you truly, truly love and 

are passionate about,” Fossay said. 

“If you don’t have the support from 

your family, it ain’t going to work.” 

After taking courses at Red River 

College, Fossay launched F3 

Designs in 2006. She now employs 

two people part-time. 

Fossay enjoys the flexibility and 

freedom of a home-based business, 

and the rewards of spending 

more time with her children. 

Alanna Keefe, a business adviser 

with the Women’s Enterprise Centre 

in Winnipeg, said people should 

ensure there is a ready market before 

embarking on a home business. 

The business should tailor its 

products or services to meet a target 

audience, she said. 

“There are lots of things that 

you’d consider as a rural individual 

serving a rural market that wouldn’t 

be appropriate in a city environment,” 

she said. 

As an example, Keefe is currently 

helping a woman develop a business 

plan to sell fresh groceries and 

deli products. 

The woman had planned to open 

a shop in Winnipeg, but a market 

analysis showed the competition 

would be too strong for her to succeed 

there. She is now considering 

locating in a rural community 

where local restaurants do not offer 

the kind of items she plans to provide, 

said Keefe.

FIRST NATIONS | ENTREPRENEURSHIP 

Aboriginal initiative hopes to shrink education, job gap 

Getting Back to Business | Program seeks improvements in financial literacy by working with community mentors 

BY DAN YATES 


With help from an organization 

spearheaded by a former prime minister, 

the Saskatchewan School 

Boards Association hopes it can 

engage Aboriginal students in entrepreneurship 

in schools and communities 

across the province. 

At its recent assembly in Saskatoon, 

the school board association announced 

a new initiative with Paul 

Martin’s Aboriginal Education Initiative 

(MAEI) dubbed “Getting Back to 

Business: Engaging Aboriginal Youth 

in Entrepreneurship.” 

The association will work with the 

provincial chamber of commerce, 

First Nation groups and the prov- 

ince’s universities to distribute 

MAEI-developed curriculum to 30 

schools next fall. 

The MAEI has developed education 

initiatives aimed at reducing the 

education and employment gap 

within the Aboriginal community. 

One initiative is the youth entrepreneurship 

program, which is designed 

to improve financial literacy and 

includes Aboriginal content and case 

studies and works with mentors from 

the community. 

“Our long-term strategic plan is to 

lessen that gap with all kids. There 

should never be a gap in education. 

Every child should have an opportunity 

to learn, be successful and to 

graduate,” said association president 

Janet Foord.

ALTERNATIVE CROP | JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 

All that’s old is new again in artichoke 

Versatility | Drought tolerant crop holds promise for food and fuel 

BY TAMARA LEIGH 


KILLAM, Alta. — It’s a vegetable, a 

functional food and biofuel. 

Jerusalem artichoke is experiencing 

a resurgence as an alternative crop as 

an Alberta company seeks to commercialize 

processes to capture its potential 

as one of the most versatile plants. 

Indigenous to North America, the 

prolific, drought-tolerant plant can 

grow in marginal soils. Jerusalem 

artichoke has earned a reputation in 

some circles as a weed, with the 

plants growing to three metres high 

and producing tubers in later summer 

or early fall. 

Jan Slasky of Alberta Innovates said 

researchers were looking for a means 

of mitigating greenhouse gases by 

capturing carbon emitted into the 

atmosphere after Canada signed the 

Kyoto Protocal in 2002. 

“Jerusalem artichoke is not only 

good for binding carbon dioxide, but 

it also produces biofuels very easily. 

Then someone pointed out that it 

also has great properties as a functional 

food,” she said. 

Jerusalem artichoke is a natural 

source of inulin, a complex sugar and 

source of soluble fibre that is an 

increasingly common additive to 

food because it has a low glycemic 

index and is easy to digest. 

Currently, Canada imports inulin from 

Europe, where it is derived from chicory. 

Slasky has developed a new technique 

to produce inulin and other 

products from the stalks of the plant 

instead of the tubers, allowing growers 

to maintain the Jerusalem artichoke 

as a perennial plant, and 

shortening the required number of 

growing days before harvest. 

“We developed a processing concept 

for sugar extraction from the 

stems to improve economics. Sugars 

reside in the stems at high concentrations 

for two to three weeks and then 

they move to the tubers. We optimize 

harvest time and use standard silage 

harvesting equipment,” Slasky said. 

Nova Green Inc. is taking the technology 

developed by Slasky and scal- 

“Rural or urban, you have to find the 

right fit for the position. You’ve got to 

have a teacher that’s engaged, that’s 

excited about it, that thinks they can 

make a difference with the program.” 

The entrepreneurship project has 

already been introduced separately 

into a small number of schools in 

Regina and Saskatoon. 

“A lot of our students, I think it’s safe 

to say, have not been particularly 

engaged in the bigger economy,” said 

Craig Schellenberg, principal of Saskatoon’s 

Oskayak High School, 

which introduced the program for 

Grade 11 and 12 students in 2011. 

Twenty-seven students finished 

the program in its first year, and 

Schellenberg called the 80 percent 

completion rate a positive result.

ing it up, first to a pilot facility, then to 

full commercialization. 

It is working with Battle River Agri- 

Ventures Co-operative to grow the 

crop, and other partners to manage a 

series of stages to extract inulin and 

xylos, which is converted to xylitol, 

and then convert the remnants into 

active biochar used in commercial 

purification processes. 

“In the first 18 months, we will process 

less than a tonne of inulin, xylitol 

and biochar, but we intend to take 

this to commercial by 2014,” said 

Barry Farquharson, chief executive 

officer of Nova Green. 

He is confident that things will 

move quickly once customers see the 

quality of the products. He estimates 

that they will need at least 40,000 

tonnes per year once the process is 

commercialized. 

“The prospects for Jerusalem artichoke 

are very promising, and the 

products we are extracting are in 

extremely high demand,” he said. 

“The intent for us is to develop a 

turn key approach. We’ll provide the 

guidance and feedstock that will 

enable growers to get on board really 

quickly and be successful.” 

“Success builds on success.” 

He said some students found parttime 

work as a result of the program. 

The initiative is now in its second 

year, and Schellenberg said the 

school plans to maintain it into the 

future. 

“This mentorship has really given 

kids a sense of confidence that they 

belong in this economy and that they 

can have a piece of the pie,” he said. “I 

think that’s really positive.” 

Located in the heart of Saskatoon’s 

Broadway business district, Oskayak 

is well-positioned to make connections 

with businesspeople. Transportation 

is a potential obstacle in 

more remote and rural locations, but 

Schellenberg said the challenges 

aren’t insurmountable. 

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 

• The plant is not an artichoke and 

did not come from Jerusalem 

• It is a native North American 

sunflower and goes by many 

other names, including sunchoke, 

sunroot and earth apples 

• The root looks like ginger. It can 

be eaten raw and is said to be similar 

in texture to a water chestnut 

• Jerusalem artichoke flour is also 

recommended for those who are 

allergic to wheat and other grains

CLAVET, Sask. — A farm that was 

once measured by heads has become 

all about bodies. 

The Bentley farm, which used to be 

home to about 400 head of cattle, has 

taken diversification to a new level by 

morphing into a graveyard for 5,000 

to 6,000 wrecked vehicles. 

Miles and Blair Bentley incorporated 

the venture 25 years ago after 

their father gave them some farmland 

to start Amigo’s Auto Wrecking 

in Clavet, Sask. 

It has grown into what the brothers 

believe is one of the largest auto 

wreckers in Western Canada. 

In addition to selling car parts to 

drivers, garages and body shops, 

every year the Bentleys ship 150 to 

200 semi loads, each containing 20 to 

25 crushed vehicles, to the Gerdau 

Long Steel North America recycling 

plant in Winnipeg. 

That creates room for a constant 

turnover of vehicles. 

“That’s the reason we’ve done so 

well. You go to some of our competitors 

and the rows of cars haven’t 

changed in four or five years,” said 

Miles. 

On a typical Saturday, there will be 

30 or 40 customer cars in the parking 

lot at any given time. 

“We are just literally run ragged on 

Saturday. It’s our big day. It’s definitely 

the best day of the week,” said 

Miles. “We are so out of control.” 

It hasn’t always been that way. The 

brothers recall the early days of the 

business when they were hauling 

vehicles at two in the morning, swapping 

plates on tow trucks to save 

money and moving cars around the 

yard with their father’s front end 

loader. 

“At the beginning, the banks said 

auto wreckers are too much of a risk,” 

said Blair, in between cellphone and 

walkie-talkie calls. 

“We had to fund everything.” 

They used their personal credit 

cards and lines of credit to finance 

the fledgling business and took turns 

helping their dad with the mixed 

farming operation. 

It started out as more of a hobby than 

a business. Both of the brothers were 

keenly interested in muscle cars. They 

would buy a neighbour’s vehicle to 

add a part to one of their cherished 

cars and then sell the leftovers.

These days, farming has taken a 

backseat to the auto wrecking business. 

The 15 quarters of land that 

their deceased father owned has 

been rented out to a couple of area 

farmers. 

The cattle herd is gone, replaced by 

about a dozen sheep that can often 

be found grazing among the 65 acres 

of wrecked automobiles. 

“I thought cattle smelled bad but 

damn them sheep are nasty,” said 

Miles. 

The cattle may be gone but the 

memories linger as strong as the 

scent of those spring days when their 

father was cleaning out the corrals. 

“Customers were wanting to get in 

and out as quickly as possible,” said 

Blair. 

Miles runs the back end of the business 

— running the shop and the 

yard and co-ordinating the crushing 

and recycling duties. 

Blair handles the front end of the 

business — locating and pricing the 

parts and dealing with customers. 

Miles said Blair has an uncanny ability 

to remember what vehicles and parts 

are on the lot. There is no paper inventory, 

just what exists in his head. 

“He can remember that but he can’t 

remember if I ask him to unclog the 

sink,” said his wife, Cheryl, who helps 

with the bookkeeping at Amigo’s and 

answers the phones. 

Miles’ wife, Tracey, also helps out 

with the business when she gets time

the business is to have his computersavvy

VEGETARIAN DIET | PREPARING SPECIAL DISHES 

Vegetarian recipe ideas for Christmas entertaining 

TEAM RESOURCES 

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc 

Keeping everyone happy at 

Christmas can be stressful, 

especially if they eat differently 

than you. For vegetarian guests 

like my sister, milk and eggs are usually 

OK but meat and seafood need to 

be avoided. 

Rather than roll your eyes when 

presented with a vegetarian guest at 

your table, make something special 

that everyone will enjoy. Use vegetable 

oils and vegetable shortening 

rather than lard, especially in pie and 

turkey stuffing. Cook some stuffing 

outside the bird and use vegetable 

stock, water or milk rather than 

chicken, turkey or beef stock. 

Also, avoid using the same utensils, 

cutting boards and pans for vegetarian 

and meat dishes. 

Avoid tofu burgers and other mock 

meats. 

Read labels to find fish or meat 

products in items like curry sauces 

and pasta sauces. Pizza, pastas, 

crepes, tacos, stews and quiches are 

easily adapted. Offer lots of vegetable 

dishes without meat stock, fresh or 

frozen fruits, bread and non-gelatin 

desserts, serve protein rich quinoa 

rather than rice and add lentils and 

legumes for added nutrition. 

CHEESE AND TOMATO TARTE 

1 1/2 c. all purpose flour 350 mL 

1/2 c. chilled unsalted 125 mL 

butter, cut into 

1/2 inch cubes 

1/3 c. finely grated 80 mL 

Parmesan cheese 

4 tbsp. Dijon mustard 50 mL 

1/2 tsp. salt 3 mL 

1 large egg 

2 tsp. ice water or more 10 mL 

1 c. coarsely grated 250 mL 

Fontina, gruyere, 

provolone or gouda 

cheese 

1 c. coarsely grated 250 mL 

extra-sharp cheddar 

cheese 

5 medium tomatoes, cored, cut 

crosswise into 1/2 inch 

thick slices, patted dry 

extra virgin olive oil 

2 tsp. minced fresh thyme or 1 

tsp. dried 10 mL (5mL) 

fine sea salt 

fresh ground black pepper 

Combine flour, butter, Parmesan 

cheese and salt in a food processor. 

Pulse until mixture resembles coarse 

meal. 

Beat egg and two teaspoons (10 mL) 

ice water in small bowl to blend, add 

to dry ingredients. Pulse until dough 

comes together in moist clumps, adding 

more ice water by teaspoonfuls if 

dough is dry. Gather dough into ball, 

flatten into disk. Wrap and chill one 

hour. It can be made one day ahead. 

Keep chilled. 

Preheat oven to 400 F (200C). Roll 

dough on lightly floured surface to 13 

inch (33 cm) round. 

Transfer dough to nine inch (22 cm) 

tarte pan with removable bottom. Trim 

excess dough to 1/3 inch (1 cm) above 

rim. Spread mustard evenly over bottom 

crust. Toss cheeses in medium 

bowl to blend. Spread over mustard. 

Arrange tomatoes, slightly overlapping, 

in two concentric circles atop 

cheese. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with 

thyme and salt and pepper. 

Bake tarte until crust is deep 

brown, cheeses are melted and tomatoes 

are slightly charred and soft or 

about 45 minutes. 

Remove from oven and cool on rack 

until cheese sets, about 30 minutes. 

Push up pan bottom, releasing tarte. 

Cut into wedges and serve. 

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH 

& FETA TRIANGLES) 

1 box frozen chopped spinach, 

thawed 

4 green onions, finely chopped 

2 tbsp. olive oil 30 mL 

1 medium yellow onion, finely 

chopped 

1/4 c. chopped parsley 60 mL 

or fresh dill 

4 large eggs 

8 oz. feta cheese, 250 gm 

crumbled 

2 tbsp. grated Parmesan 30 mL 

cheese 

1/2 tsp. salt 3 mL 

1/4 tsp. black pepper 1 mL 

pinch of nutmeg 

1 box phyllo dough, 

thawed 

1/2 lb. butter, melted 250 gm 

Add olive oil to a large skillet over 

medium high heat. Add chopped 

onion. Saute until soft but not 

browned. Squeeze liquid from the frozen 

chopped spinach and add to the 

skillet. 

Add green onions and parsley. Cook 

until all the liquid is evaporated and 

spinach is dry. Remove from heat and 

let cool to room temperature. 

Lightly beat eggs and add to cooled 

spinach mixture. Add feta cheese and 

seasonings. Stir to mix. 

Lay out the phyllo pastry on the 

counter and with kitchen shears, cut 

in half lengthwise and then cut each 

half in half again so that you have four 

stacks of phyllo strips. Cover with a dry 

tea towel, then add a damp tea towel. 

I brush the countertop liberally 

with melted butter so that you can lay 

out about seven strips of phyllo pastry. 

This prevents strips of pastry from 

moving around and also butters the

outside at the same time. 

Brush each strip with melted butter 

and top with a second strip of pastry. 

Brush the top one inch (2.5 cm) 

of the second strip with butter. Put a 

tablespoon (15 mL) of spinach mixture 

on the bottom end of the pastry strip. 

Fold the corner over the spinach mixture 

to make a triangle. Continue to 

fold like a flag until the whole strip is 

folded into a triangular packet. Brush 

with melted butter. Continue with the 

remainder of pastry and filling. 

Bake at 375 F (190C) for about 

20 minutes or until brown and 

crispy. They can be frozen unbaked 

and stored in the freezer up to three 

months. Bake frozen at 375 F (190C) 

for about 20 minutes. 

It can also be made in a nine by 13 

inch (23 cm x 33 cm) pan. Spray pan 

with oil. Lay one sheet of phyllo in 

and up the sides of the prepared pan. 

Brush lightly with butter. Top with 

seven more phyllo sheets and brush 

each one with butter. 

Spread spinach mixture over pastry. 

Top with eight more sheets of 

phyllo and brush with butter between 

each, including the top layer. Roll the 

overhanging phyllo from the sides 

to form a border all the way around. 

With a thin, sharp knife, cut the pie 

into squares, but do not cut through 

the bottom layer or the filling will leak 

out. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. 

Bake at 375 F (190C) for about 45 

minutes. Remove from oven and cool 

a few minutes. Cut squares and serve.

SHOULDER INJURY | DIAGNOSIS 

Impingement 

syndrome 

treatments 

HEALTH CLINIC 

CLARE ROWSON, MD 

I have had a painful shoulder, 

Q: which has kept me awake at 

night for a few weeks now. It hurts 

when I try to raise my right arm. I play 

badminton and also do heavy work 

on the farm. I thought I had strained 

it, but my doctor says it is a frozen 

shoulder. Are there any exercises I 

can do to help? What causes this? I 

am generally fi t and active. 

Frozen shoulder, sometimes 

A: known as shoulder adhesive 

capsulitis, causes pain and restricted 

movement in the shoulder joint. Th e 

shoulder joints are encased in a capsule 

of connective tissue, that when 

inflamed, thickens and tightens 

around the shoulder, restricting its 

movement. Sometimes this happens 

after an accident or surgery, when 

the arm has been immobilized for a 

period of time. 

From your description, I think you 

are suffering from a different condition 

known as painful arc syndrome 

or impingement syndrome, or in 

medical terms, supraspinatus tendinitis. 

The supraspinatus is the muscle 

that runs along the top of the scapula 

or shoulder blade and is attached to 

the humerus, the upper arm bone at 

the tip of the shoulder known as the 

acromion. Usually, there is no friction 

between the tendon and the 

acromion, but if there is, it is known 

as impingement. 

This situation often occurs in athletes 

and is sometimes called swimmer’s 

or thrower’s shoulder. The 

doctor can diagnose it by performing 

a simple shoulder examination, 

which includes raising the arm from 

your side to the overhead position 

with the elbow straight. There is pain 

and resistance to movement in the 60 

to 120 degree position, but no pain 

from the 120 degree point to the vertical 

180 degrees. 

Painful arc syndrome is usually the 

result of overuse and an imbalance in 

muscles when one group of muscles 

becomes overdeveloped compared 

to the others. 

Painful arc syndrome usually 

improves within 20 days without any 

treatment if you rest the arm. At this 

point, I think you should avoid exercises, 

because too much exercise is 

what caused the problem in the first 

place. 

Steroid and/or lidocaine injections 

directly into the joint may help in 

providing relief sooner, or you could 

take anti-inflammatory drugs such 

as Advil. There are also ointments 

that you can rub onto the skin in the 

affected area, such as Myoflex. 

If you do not change your lifestyle, 

relapses could occur and you might 

even end up with osteoarthritis in the 

shoulder.

Do violent video games spawn mass murderers? 

A 

while back, I was getting beat 

up all the time. Then I began 

to study video fighting games 

in earnest. 

Now when my arch enemy turns 

into water, slides over to me, then 

refreezes and gives me an uppercut, I 

retaliate with my Heaven’s Drop 

super move, just to soften him up 

before wielding the coup de grace of 

Tumbling Dice. 

I’m not ashamed to admit over a 

glass of mineral water that I’ve played 

video games for a long time — at least 

since the bouncing ball of Pong hit 

the bars. The ball was actually 

square, but no matter. It was an OK 

game, albeit a little short on plot. 

Before long, Pong’s ball evolved 

into a yellow munchie thing called 

Pac-Man, who was pursued around a 

maze by varicoloured ghosts. Harmless 

fun, it would seem. No pixels 

were irreparably harmed during its 

reign. 

Nowadays, video games are the 

stomping ground of megacorps. In

direct seeding. We’re the leader in precision air drill design 

– with machines 20’ to 100’ wide – and we manufacture the 

lowest maintenance seeding systems on the market. 

the early Eighties, 8,000 bytes would 

buy you an entire game, coded more 

tightly than the suspension on a 

Ferrari F430 Spider. But today, who 

counts bytes? Apparently, no one. 

These games are gigantic in terms 

of resources, disc space and advertising 

budget. They also, in general, 

are not as fun as they used to be. Or 

as hard. 

As in the “real” world, game companies 

get swallowed by bigger companies 

and bigger companies get 

swallowed by BIG companies. 

But the question was: do video 

games spawn mass murderers? 

Some pundits seem to think so.

THE PRION DIARIES | BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY 

BSE: effect of devastating discovery lingers 

Cattle industry collapse | CFIA researcher says confirming Canada’s first case in 2003 was gut-wrenching 

STORIES BY BARB GLEN 

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU 

Dr. Stephanie Czub has had one of 

the loneliest experiences in agriculture. 

She diagnosed the bovine brain 

sample that confirmed Canada’s first 

homegrown case of BSE in 2003, 

which dealt crippling blows to the 

cattle industry from which it has 

arguably yet to recover. 

Czub talked about her experience 

last week as part of a public lecture 

tour with keynote speaker Jay Ingram, 

former radio and television show 

host and author of Fatal Flaws: How 

a Misfolded Protein Baffled Scientists 

and Changed the Way We Look at the 

Brain. 

In 2003, Czub was working at the 

Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s 

Winnipeg laboratory. 

On the Saturday of the May long 

weekend, she was one of few people 

working in the dark, quiet building 

while she waited for the brain sample 

to arrive. 

She and others in the CFIA had 

their suspicions about what the 

sample would reveal, and Czub said 

her supervisor, in an attempt to bolster 

her spirits, asked her to remember 

she was not alone on the case. 

The sample from the Alberta cow 

arrived. It took her about 12 hours to 

prepare the tissue. Then she put the 

slide under the microscope. 

“When I was sitting there at midnight, 

realizing and acknowledging I 

saw what I saw, that this has to be 

called mad cow disease … it was the 

first home grown Canadian case of 

BSE, I felt pretty lonely. I felt like the 

loneliest one-man band you can 

imagine,” she told the group assembled 

at Lethbridge College. 

Only two years earlier, Czub had 

come to Canada from Europe, where 

BSE had caused massive cattle culls 

and sickened many people with the 

human equivalent of BSE called 

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. 

“I knew exactly what would happen 

to the industry, to the farmer. 

And sure enough, 15 minutes the 

following morning, (after) the first 

press conference, 35 countries 

closed the border for Canadian beef 

and $9 billion later, this is where we 

are.” 

Canada has since diagnosed 18 

cases of BSE, 16 of them the classical 

form thought to be caused by feeding 

infected bovine material to cattle. 

THE PRION DIARIES | BRAIN PROTEINS 

Jay Ingram threw a mousetrap 

into a nest of other mousetraps set 

to spring. The resulting chain reaction, 

with traps snapping and leaping 

off the table, was a quick and 

noisy way to illustrate his point 

about prions. 

Ingram, a former radio and television 

host and author, threw his 

mousetraps during the Prion Diaries, 

a speaking tour to Alberta’s four 

agricultural colleges during the week 

of Nov. 12. 

“That’s what happens in the brain,” 

he told a Lethbridge College crowd. 

“You introduce prion proteins that 

are misfolded into the brain and 

somehow … there’s some kind of 

contact, nobody really knows how.… 

you get this contact and it spreads 

and it causes diseases and in every 

single case, it’s invariably fatal.” 

BSE is the best known disease 

attributed to prions, which are misfolded 

proteins. 

Ingram gave a history of BSE’s discovery 

and handling in Europe, dating 

back to the mid-1980s, and its 

appearance in Canada in 2003. 

However, he also apprised his audience 

of similar brain diseases that he 

said are cause for concern. 

Among them are chronic wasting 

disease, a brain disease primarily 

found in deer that also has potential 

to infect elk, moose and caribou. 

CWD was first found in captive 

STEPHANIE CZUB 

RESEARCHER 

The other two were atypical cases 

with an unknown cause, thought to 

be unconnected to feed. 

One case of BSE in Washington 

state was also linked to a Canadian 

source, which brings the total to 19, 

Czub said. 

Canadian cattle producers have 

long speculated on the lack of BSE 

cases discovered in the United States, 

given similar North American feeding 

practices and cattle importation. 

“Why indeed,” said Czub in a later 

interview. 

“When you look at the European 

Union, 27 countries, their BSE surveillance 

numbers from last year were 

around 12 million animals. Canada 

does around 60,000 and the U.S. does 

around 60,000 as well,” she said, 

despite the fact that the U.S. herd is 10 

times larger than Canada’s. 

“The answer is pretty obvious.” 

Cause of wonky brain proteins 

remain mystery after 30 years 

Colorado deer in 1967 and has 

spread to at least 18 U.S. states and 

Saskatchewan and southeastern 

Alberta. 

“It’s the biggest biomass of prions 

in the world right now, chronic wasting 

disease,” said Ingram. “(There

PRION DISEASES 

Although they are rare, these diseases 

have caused public health concern 

because it is still not known how it is 

contracted and is always fatal. 

They include: 

• bovine spongiform encephalopathy, 

or BSE, in cattle 

• scrapie in sheep and goats 

• chronic wasting disease or CWD, 

in deer, moose, elk and caribou 

methods of spread. 

She said management is the 

remaining option, which includes 

restrictions on farmed elk and deer, 

double fencing and limited contact 

between captive and wild ungulates. 

“And this is barely managing it. It’s 

not controlling it,” said Czub. 

Kevin Keough, executive director of 

the Alberta Prion Research Institute, 

said he isn’t ready to agree that the 

CWD situation is uncontrollable. 

“There may be some possibility to 

control CWD with a very effective 

vaccine,” he said. “We and others are 

investing money in looking at the 

potential for vaccines. Administering 

effective vaccines in the wild, 

though, is an extremely difficult thing 

to do and usually when you’re doing 

it, you’re doing it against an agent that 

doesn’t hang around for 40 years (as 

prions do).”

FERTILIZER | NITROGEN 



The proponents of a farmer-owned 

nitrogen fertilizer plant in North 

Dakota will make an offering to 

potential investors soon, says the 

president of the North Dakota Corn 

Growers Association. 

“It really is our goal to have it (the 

offering) out in the near future,” said 

Darin Anderson, who farms near 

Valley City, N.D. “We’d like to have it 

out before the first of December.” 

The corn growers, other commodity 

groups in North Dakota and Minnesota 

and the Manitoba Canola 

Growers Association (MCGA) plan 

to build a $1.5 billion plant that 

would use flare natural gas from the 

Bakken oil deposit to manufacture 

nitrogen fertilizer. 

Anderson, who was reluctant to put 

a precise timeline on the offering to 

farmers, said it will definitely occur 

before Christmas. 

The corn growers announced plans 

to build a plant in early July. Two 

months later, CHS Inc., the largest 

farmer-owned co-operative in the 

United States, said it would construct 

a $1.4 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant 

in Spiritwood, N.D. 

Anderson said producers behind 

the farmer-owned plant understand 

the implications of the CHS proposal, 

but it’s not going to derail their 

plans. 

“Even though we have to take it into 

consideration, we’re still going forward 

with our project,” he said. 

“We’re looking at the lack of (fertilizer) 

production in our area and this 

region has room for more than one 

plant.” 

The steering committee guiding 

the project is still considering three 

possible sites in North Dakota for the 

proposed plant, Anderson said.

Cattlemen’s Young Leaders program. 

The program is open to 18- to 

35-year-old beef producers who 

want to develop their leadership 

skills and become involved with the 

industry on a national and international 

basis. 

Successful applicants will be paired 

with mentors who provide guidance 

in their area of interest. 

Sixteen people are selected and 

each receives a $2,000 budget to 

attend industry events, including the 

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association 

convention, the International Livestock 

Congress and the National 

Cattlemen’s Beef Association annual 

meeting. 

The program receives support from 

the CCA, Alberta Livestock and Meat 

Agency, Cargill and UFA. Applications 

must be submitted by Jan. 25.

The MCGA assumed a role in the 

project this summer. It paid $25,000 

for a seat on the board because the 

plant, if successful, offers a way for 

Manitoba producers to control their 

fertilizer costs. 

MCGA vice-president Brian 

Chorney, who represents the association 

on the project’s board, said 

Canadian farmers would have a 

chance to invest in the plant. 

“We’re definitely going to open it up 

to Canadian farmers,” said Chorney, 

who farms near Selkirk, Man. 

“(But) that will be up to individual 

producers to make that decision, if 

NEWS 

they want to hedge their fertilizer 

costs with an investing in a fertilizer 

plant.” 

Chorney said he remains confident 

in the farmer-owned plant in North 

Dakota. 

“We’re not overly concerned about 

the CHS development,” he said. 

“Everybody’s projects are evolving 

and we continue to assess ours versus 

others, to ensure it makes sense 

to go forward.” 

North Dakota Corn Growers hasn’t 

publicized the project since the initial 

announcement in July, but

… but that doesn’t mean we have

In addition to the proposed plants 

in North Dakota, Farmers of North

fall in Alberta, Saskatchewan and

a farmer-owned $1 billion nitrogen

U.S. REPORT | CONVENTIONAL VERSUS ORGANIC 

Organic sector irked by report suggesting insurance against GM 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) — 

Organic growers and food safety 

advocates have condemned an advisory 

committee report to the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture. 

They claim that the report’s recommendations 

would be costly for 

farmers who want to protect their 

conventional crops from GMO contamination. 

The USDA had asked the committee 

to study how biotech agriculture 

could co-exist with organic and conventional 

agriculture. 

“Of particular concern in the report 

is the recommendation that organic 

and non-GE conventional farmers 

pay to self-insure themselves against 

unwanted GE contamination,” said a 

statement by the National Organic 

Coalition. 

“This proposal allows USDA and 

the agricultural biotechnology 

industry to abdicate responsibility 

for preventing GE contamination 

while making the victims of GE pollution 

pay for damages resulting from 

transgenic contamination,” it said. 

Genetically modified crops have 

become popular with U.S. farmers 

since their introduction in 1996 and 

now make up the majority of corn and 

soybeans produced in the country. 

However, some farmers prefer not 

to grow GM crops due to perceived 

environmental and health concerns. 

As well, many markets pay a premium 

for non-GM crops. 

The advisory committee said in its 

report that all American farmers 

have the right to make the best choices 

for their own farms, including the 

choice to grow GM, organic or conventional 

crops. 

Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack 

said the USDA would review the 

report and consider the recommendations. 

“The report is the culmination of a 

great deal of hard work and complex 

discussion and review,” Vilsack said 

in a statement. “I understand that 

required compromises to find common 

ground.” 

The USDA had asked the advisory 

committee to analyze what types of 

compensation mechanisms, if any,

would be appropriate to address economic

The committee said its members 

could not agree about the extent to 

which a systemic problem exists and 

whether there is enough data to warrant 

a compensation mechanism to 

address it. 

While the committee acknowledged 

that unintended GMOs are 

found in commercial products, 

members differed in their assessment 

of the significance of the unintended 

presence. 

The committee recommended that 

the USDA evaluate data to better 

understand actual economic losses

ALBERTA WHEAT COMMISSION | DEBATE 

STORIES BY BARB GLEN 


Just as the newly formed Alberta 

Wheat Commission is electing 

directors and establishing its plans, 

one of its members has proposed it 

be replaced by an all-crop commission. 

Lethbridge area farmer Alex Russell 

made the motion Nov. 21 at the 

first Region 1 meeting of the Alberta 

Wheat Commission. His motion was 

passed and will be considered at the 

commission’s annual meeting 

scheduled Jan. 28 in Edmonton. 

Russell is a past chair of the Alberta 

Winter Wheat Producers Commission, 

which became part of the newly 

formed entity that represents growers 

of all types of wheat in Alberta. 

He said he worked toward formation 

of the wheat commission but at 

the time also saw merit in a larger 

provincial group that would have a 

bigger budget and mandate to represent 

growers of all annual crops. 

He also said a prairie-wide commission 

for annual crops would be 

even better. 

“It just doesn’t make sense to be 

segregated,” he said in an interview 

after the vote. 

“We have more interprovincial 

trade barriers than we do international 

trade barriers and it makes no 

sense. Our farm probably has more 

in common with southern Saskatchewan 

farms than we do with a farm 

around Edmonton.” 

Russell pointed out the U.S.-based 

National Association of Wheat Growers 

as an example of a powerful group 

that represents the interests of farmers. 

He said most farmers grow more 

than one crop, and an all-crops commission 

could reflect their varying 

needs while saving money through 

sharing one building and administrative 

staff. 

“It’s just the logistical and fiscal cost 

savings, and then having the political 

clout of having them all under one 

umbrella group when you deal with 

Alberta and when you deal with 

Canada,” Russell said. 

“It is tough to get farmers organized 

like that, but it makes sense just on 

the fiscal and the physical constraints 

of buildings and things like 

that.” 

In his report to the meeting, given 

before Russell’s motion, zone director 

Lynn Jacobson of Enchant, Alta., 

said the new wheat commission 

erased divisions that sometimes 

plagued producers.

Checkoff funds commission | General manager will

The first regional meetings for the 

Alberta Wheat Commission are 

underway in a province that annually 

grows 6.6 million acres of 

wheat. 

Lynn Jacobson, one of two directors 

for Region 1, helped spearhead the 

formation of the new commission, 

which officially formed Aug. 1. 

The commission had been 

explained to producers in a series of 

meetings last year. 

Jacobson told southern Alberta 

wheat producers Nov. 21 that global 

wheat consumption is expected to 

rise to an estimated 880 million 

tonnes by 2050, up from 666 million 

tonnes now, which will potentially 

create greater demand for prairie 

wheat. 

Alberta accounts for 30 percent of 

wheat acreage in Western Canada 

and grows all nine registered wheat 

varieties. Wheat is the largest crop by 

area and by annual production in the 

province. 

Jacobson said the organization will 

be funded by a 70 cents per tonne 

checkoff. 

It will apply to all wheat, including 

feed wheat, hard wheat and durum, 

which previously weren’t subject to 

the checkoff.

$70,000 in startup loans from the

two years. 

Assets from the now-dissolved soft 

wheat growers and winter wheat 

growers commissions, which 

totalled $240,000, were also rolled 

into the new entity. 

Jacobson outlined a balanced budget 

of $3.84 million for the 2012-13 

crop year. 

The organization has hired Rick 

Istead as general manager. He will 

now hire five managers for research, 

marketing, communications, 

finance and administration. 

The commission has divided the 

province into five regions. Each will 

have two directors and three regional 

representatives. 

Once all are in place, they will serve 

on one or several of five committees: 

hard red and hard white spring, 

durum, prairie red and white spring, 

extra strong and general purpose and 

winter wheat.

He pointed to the success of Quebec’s

Producteurs Agricoles, as an example 

of a powerful farm group that has

influence with government. 

“While we don’t maybe want their

our organization,” Jacobson said.

CORN | SUPPLY AND DEMAND 

U.S. corn growers 

snap up quality 

seed for next year 

Early orders | Growers want varieties with good 

genetics that perform in adverse conditions 

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Ohio 

farmer Rob Joslin is not taking chances 

with his corn seed, despite assurances 

that seed companies emerged 

from this summer’s devastating 

drought with adequate supplies. 

Joslin, who grows corn and soybeans 

in western Ohio, began buying 

seed in August, months earlier than 

usual, to lock in the best-yielding 

varieties. 

“(Farmers are) concerned about 

getting their seed varieties, especially 

corn,” he said. “It may not be there 

come Dec. 1.” 

U.S. farmers have come off the 

worst drought in more than half a 

century and are now scrambling to 

get their hands on the best corn seed 

to ensure they plant a good crop next 

spring. 

However, seed sellers say supplies 

are sufficient this year. Expanded 

corn plantings compensated for 

yields that were down 25 percent or 

more, and companies say timely rain 

in certain areas helped avoid severe 

crop losses. 

Seed supply is crucial for next year 

because top-performing varieties 

have the best chance of producing 

the large harvest needed to replenish 

low corn inventories and bring relief 

from high prices. 

Some companies warn that while 

supplies are sufficient, the quick 

pace of early sales could force slowmoving 

farmers to plant varieties 

that do not perform as well in adverse 

conditions. 

Belt Conveyors 

Total U.S. corn production this year 

is estimated at a six-year low of 10.725 

billion bushels, 27 percent less than 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

initial estimate last spring. 

Some of the country’s leading seed 

companies saw the risk of a shortage 

coming and boosted seed imports 

by up to 20 percent to guarantee 

supplies. 

Elk Mound Seed Co. in Wisconsin 

signed contracts to buy 20 percent 

more corn seed from the 2012 harvest 

than it did in 2011 in hopes of 

avoiding a crunch. 

However, the increased acres 

under contract were offset by yields 

that missed expectations by 20 to 25 

percent, owner Mike Zutter said. 

“We’re really glad we did contract 

for more, because now we’re not 

going to get the fills (on all of the 

orders),” he said. 

“I’m not going to holler wolf.… 

There’ll be seed out there. Is it tight? 

Yes.” 

Stine Seed Co., which says it is the 

largest independent U.S. seed company, 

planted more acres in the U.S. 

and contracted to import 20 percent 

more corn seed from South America 

this year. 

Myron Stine, vice-president of 

sales, said the company’s decision to 

increase imports was based on “what 

we went through the year before” 

with tight supplies. 

“We’ll still be short on particular 

hybrids,” he said. 

The company’s vulnerability to 

Grain Augers

crop damage depended on where 

their seed was produced. 

Stine Seed produces about twothirds 

of its seed in central Iowa, 

where yields were down but still generally 

good, Stine said. 

Some fields in Illinois, where southern 

areas were devastated, produced 

nothing, he said. 

If “you’re going to Indiana, Iowa, 

the drought is just not as severe,” he 

said. 

DuPont Pioneer, one of the world’s 

largest seed companies, grows seed 

across the corn belt from Nebraska to 

Indiana, with the large geographic 

area designed to mitigate events such 

as the drought that devastated crops 

in certain regions and not others. 

The company increased its plans to 

import seed from South America 

during the summer as the severity of 

the U.S. drought came into focus. 

However, its “actual reliance on 

imports has actually tended to dwindle” 

because U.S. yields were not as 

bad as expected, said Dan Case, supply 

planning manager. 

“Certainly, this was one of the most 

NEWS 

challenging production years I’ve 

seen.” 

“We’ve been really pleasantly surprised 

with the yields.” 

Corn grown for seed is a smaller 

subset of production. Companies 

produce it on their own land or sign 

contracts to buy it from farmers. 

It often suffers severe damage from

poor weather because it is produced 

from a genetically pure line that has 

not been bred with multiple traits to 

combat adverse conditions. By contrast, 

corn grown for grain is hardier 

because it is a hybrid of the best 

qualities of pure varieties. 

Farmers used 25 million bu. of corn 

for seed in the marketing year that 

ended Aug. 31, up 2.4 percent from 

the previous year because of expanded 

plantings, according to the USDA. 

That means 0.2 percent of the total 

crop was used for seed. 

Monsanto, the world’s largest seed 

company, is “confident in supplying 

seed for the coming year,” president 

Brett Begemann said on an earnings 

call last month. 

“As farmers turn toward next year,

seed is a priority,” Begemann said. 

That’s particularly true for farmers 

placing orders early. 

Illinois-based Wyffels Hybrids has 

“seen a lot of early orders and early 

payments,” said Jeff Hartz, director of 

marketing. 

“People are really after strong 

genetics that they think are going to 

perform.” 

Yields at Wyffels’ seed farms in 

northern Illinois received “lucky” 

rains and were 10 percent below 

average, much better than the 40 

percent losses the company said 

were possible. 

He said Wyffels has a good supply of 

seed on hand after expanding plantings 

last spring, adding that some top 

varieties could run short.

DAIRY | PRICES 

Canadian 

restaurant group 

seeks two-tier 

pricing policy 

Complaints heard about 

high dairy prices hurting 

restaurant business 


OTTAWA BUREAU 

MPs heard a familiar message several 

weeks ago when Canada’s restaurant 

industry staged a Parliament 

Hill lobby day — high dairy prices 

hurt their business. 

Canadian Dairy Commission leaders 

heard the same message in a faceto-face 

meeting. 

Last week, the Canadian 

Restaurant and Foodservices 

Association followed up with a 

concrete proposal. 

It sent a letter to the Canadian Dairy 

Commission proposing a two-tier 

cheese pricing policy that would give 

products destined for the restaurant 

sector a lower price. 

Frozen pizza manufacturers who 

must compete with imports have a 

deal that lowers the price of their 

mozzarella cheese. 

They produce product for home 

consumption that competes with 

restaurant meals. 

“Lower-priced cheese for restaurants 

will level an uneven playing 

field that forces fresh pizza makers to 

pay 30 percent more for mozzarella 

cheese than frozen pizza manufacturers,” 

wrote the CRFA. 

While the value of restaurant orders 

are increasing, pizza orders “have 

decreased by a stark 12 percent,” 

CRFA president Garth Whyte said. 

“The restaurant industry wants to 

help reverse these disturbing trends. 

We want to be part of a growing dairy 

industry.” 

He noted that dairy products purchased 

for restaurant sales are worth 

$2.5 billion annually. 

“As one of your largest customers, 

we want to do more to promote and 

grow the market for Canada’s highquality 

dairy products,” said the 

CRFA. 

“Unjustifiably high prices, however, 

are having the opposite effect.” 

Whyte said dairy farmers are 

becoming more efficient, but the 

benefits are not being passed onto 

consumers. 

“Over the past several years, dairy 

price increases have vastly outpaced 

the cost of production, making Canadian 

dairy prices far higher than 

other industrialized countries,” he 

wrote. 

The association called for a government 

policy to amend supply management 

to “bring dairy prices to a 

more competitive level while ensuring 

a fair return to producers.”

CANADA-EUROPEAN UNION | TRADE TALKS 

Federal ministers seek to narrow differences 


OTTAWA BUREAU 

Two federal cabinet ministers 

headed to Europe last week for direct 

intervention as unresolved issues at 

the Canada-European Union free 

trade talks begin to narrow down to 

the politically toughest areas. 

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and 

trade minister Ed Fast were in Brussels 

trying to narrow the differences. 

“They (negotiators) are down to 

discussing some very difficult 

issues,” Denis Landreville, director 

and lead negotiator for regional 

agreements with Agriculture 

Canada, told the annual Grain Industry 

Symposium in Ottawa Nov. 21. 

The difficult 10 percent of issues left 

to deal with include Canada’s aim to 

improve access to Europe for beef 

and pork and the EU demand for 

improved dairy product access and 

its insistence that European geographic 

indicators on many agricultural 

products (product names based 

on their region of origin) be respected 

in Canada. 

“These types of issues will be 

among the last to be settled,” he said 

during the grain symposium organized 

by the Canada Grains Council 

and Grain Growers of Canada. 

According to Landreville, the two 

sides have agreed on a text that will 

make the EU’s rule-making process 

for dealing with genetically modified 

products more “transparent.” However, 

any deal that emerges will not 

see the Europeans opening their 

markets to GM products or imports 

of beef from hormone-treated cattle. 

Still, he said there has been signifi- 

cant progress since the negotiations 

launched in May 2009. 

“Many chapters of the negotiation 

have been closed.” 

He said the European agreement 

on a text opening its system for making 

rules on biotechnology products 

to more scrutiny and Canadian comment 

is “unprecedented.” 

Although Landreville would not 

comment on the possible timing for a 

deal announcement, there has been 

speculation that the agreement is possible 

as early as the first quarter of 2013. 

However, Canadian exporters 

should not expect new access anytime 

soon. Free trade deal approvals 

in Canada typically require at least 

two years to get through parliamentary 

hoops and the 27-country EU 

has an even more complicated and 

cumbersome approval process. 

Fight wheat midge in your fields. 

Protect your yields for years to come. 

Prairie wheat growers are putting midge tolerant wheat to work fighting wheat midge on their 

farms. And the Stewardship Agreement is there to preserve it for future generations. 

35 

“It’s going to take some time,” said 

Landreville. 

Even without a deal, the EU is Canada’s 

second largest trading partner. 

Sales of Canadian agricultural 

products, mainly grains, oilseeds, 

pulses and special crops, are worth 

$2.7 billion annually. Agricultural 

and alcohol imports from Europe are 

worth $3.88 billion. 

It is Canada’s largest trade negotiation 

in two decades. 

“This process represents the most 

ambitious trade negotiation since the 

NAFTA (North American Free Trade 

Agreement in 1994),” said Landreville. 

Meanwhile, Canadian trade negotiators 

are busy on many fronts. 

Canada’s first session in the Trans- 

Pacific Partnership trade negotiation 

happens while talks with Japan, India, 

Ukraine and Morocco continue. 

When you buy midge tolerant wheat, the Agreement you sign limits the use of farm-saved seed to 

one generation past Certified seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system at 

the proper level, preventing a build-up of resistant midge. Protect your yields and grade, and 

preserve this important tool for years to come. 

Contact your retailer or visit www.midgetolerantwheat.ca 

to learn more about these new varieties and how the 

interspersed refuge system works.

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) — 

Atmospheric volumes of greenhouse 

gases blamed for climate change hit a 

new record last year, the World 

Meteorological Organization said in 

its annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin. 

The volume of carbon dioxide, the 

primary greenhouse gas emitted by 

human activities, grew at a similar 

rate to the previous decade and 

reached 390.9 parts per million, 

which is 40 percent above the preindustrial 

level, the survey said. 

It has increased by an average of 

two ppm for the past 10 years. 

Fossil fuel is the primary source of 

375 billion tonnes of carbon that 

have been released into the atmosphere 

since the industrial era began 

in 1750, the WMO said. 

Secretary-general Michel Jarraud 

said the billions of tonnes of extra 

carbon dioxide would stay in the 

atmosphere for centuries, causing 

the planet to warm further. 

“We have already seen that the 

oceans are becoming more acidic as 

a result of the carbon dioxide uptake, 

with potential repercussions for the 

underwater food chain and coral 

reefs,” he said in a statement. 

Levels of methane, another longlived 

greenhouse gas, have risen 

steadily for the past three years after 

levelling off for about seven years. 

The reasons for the leveling off are 

unclear.

CLIMATE | GREENHOUSE GAS 

Carbon dioxide emissions keep rising 

nitrous oxide, quickened in 2011. It 

has a long-term climate impact that 

is 298 times greater than carbon 

dioxide. 

The WMO, the United Nations’ 

weather agency, said the three gases, 

which are closely linked to human 

activities such as fossil fuel use, 

deforestation and intensive agriculture, 

had increased the warming 

effect on the climate by 30 percent 

between 1990 and 2011. 

The prevalence of several less 

abundant greenhouse gases was also 

growing fast, it said. 

Sulfur hexafluoride, used as an 

electrical insulator in power distribution 

equipment, had doubled in 

volume since the mid-1990s.

DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) — A 

group of scientists in Iowa say this 

year’s harsh drought was a sign of 

things to come and should spur more 

action to prepare for the challenges 

of a warming climate.

pattern of crop loss and property 

damage from increasingly frequent 

events such as flooding, drought 

and dangerous storms,” said Dave 

Courard-Hauri, chair of Drake University’s 

environmental science and 

policy program. 

“We don’t face a choice between 

our economy and the planet. The 

choice is between addressing the 

causes and effects of climate change 

or spending ever more money cleaning 

up from events like we’ve seen in 

the past several years.” 

Iowa is the top grower of corn and 

soybeans in the United States as well 

as a big hog and cattle producer. Iowa 

and Illinois together produce about 

one-third of the nation’s corn and 

soybeans for food, feed and fuel. 

This year’s drought, the worst in 

half a century, cut Iowa’s corn production 

by 19 percent and soybeans 

by 14 percent from last year, according 

to government crop estimates. 

Livestock and dairy producers, 

with less insurance protection, are 

being hit hardest as feed and forage 

prices soar, causing farmers to cull 

herds or go out of business. 

Christopher Anderson, the assistant 

director of Iowa State University’s 

climate science program, said 

there is “clear, statistical evidence” 

that extreme high temperatures are 

happening more often than extreme 

low temperatures in Iowa. 

“Since 1981, the likelihood of 

severely wet springs has more than 

doubled. What was once a one-in- 

10-year wet spring is now occurring 

two to three times in every 10 years,” 

he said. “Yet 2012 reminds us that dry 

summers can still happen. The 2012 

July and August statewide rainfall 

was the lowest since 1976.” 

Jerald Schnoor, co-director of the 

University of Iowa’s Center for Global 

and Regional Environmental Research, 

said state policymakers 

should use 2012 climate data to make 

new decisions, such as doubling 

wind energy production and using 

methane from livestock manure and 

city sewage treatment plants. 

“We have confidence in recent findings 

that climate change is real and 

having an impact on the Iowa economy 

and on our natural resources,” 

Schnoor said. 

The group issued an Iowa Climate 

Statement signed by 138 scientists at 

27 Iowa colleges and universities. 

“The climate likely will continue to 

warm due to increasing global emissions 

and accumulation of greenhouse 

gases,” the statement said. 

“Iowa should lead innovation in 

reducing greenhouse gas emissions, 

improve resilience in agriculture and 

communities, and move towards 

greater energy efficiency and increased 

use of renewable energy.”

spring. Worked great – perfect germination 

– very even emergence. Very aggressive and 

easy pulling. Paired Row very distinct – very

Very satisfied – VW service best I’ve had in 40

Artisan’s canvas 

Master carver Chuck Ratliff of Grande Prairie, Alta., uses antlers as the medium to showcase his unique carvings. | RANDY VANDERVEEN PHOTOS 


BY RANDY VANDERVEEN 


71 

While dropped antlers are 

relatively common across the rural 

areas of Western Canada, for one 

Grande Prairie man they make a 

canvas and frame for his unique 

artwork. 

Chuck Ratliff has used antlers, 

mostly moose because of their size, 

to create carvings of wildlife in 

Western Canada for 20 years. 

Ratliff, a retired forest ranger who 

grew up on a homestead in the 

Bonanza area of northwestern 

Alberta, said he has been around 

wildlife all his life. 

Moose were a common sight 

during his work as a ranger. He said 

one day he spotted 80 moose 

through the course of a day, unusual 

but 20 was not uncommon. 

Ratliff started carving wood but he 

had a collection of antlers at home 

and decided to try something with 

it. 

Wildlife makes up the majority of 

his work with moose and big horn 

sheep being his most common 

mammals and bald eagles his most 

popular bird. 

However, he has carved scenes 

that have featured cowboys on 

horseback with a pack horse trailing 

behind and a forest ranger scene 

that he has kept in his own 

collection. 

The scene features a ranger on 

horse back riding up to a forestry 

cabin while a fox and raven are also 

in the scene. Ratliff points out these 

scenes are a lot more work because 

of the detail like the reins on the 

horse and horn on the saddle. 

Winter proves to be the season 

when the carver spends the most 

time on his craft. 

He uses a couple of heavy duty 

rotary saws to cut out a rough shape 

of his carving and then one of a 

number of smaller hand-held rotary 

saws to carve with — each 

containing a different blade. 

The antler carvings take on a lifelike 

appearance as each step 

involves bringing out more of its 

three dimension characteristic with 

the final colouring process making 

the art work quite life-like. 

Ratliff points out each piece of 

carving starts out the same — a 

drawing that is taped onto the antler 

to get it sized and framed. Then the 

area is sanded and the drawing 

transferred to the sanded surface of 

the antler. 

Ratliff said sometimes the 

drawings don’t look quite right but 

that is fixed as he works on the 

sculpting process. Years of seeing 

the animals he carves works its way 

into each piece as it is refined into a 

realistic replica. 

Ratliff’s art work has not gone 

unnoticed. He has been commissioned 

to carve a specific work into 

the antler — including a cougar on a 

rock watching a white-tailed buck 

walk past. 

Pieces of his art work have made 

their way across Canada, into the 

United States, Mexico, Australia and 

South Africa. 

The master carver is busy with his 

craft but he has reduced the amount 

of carvings he is putting out each 

year. The first year he began carving 

it almost turned into a full-time job. 

He has cut that back so he can 

enjoy his carving but also 

appreciate the time away from it.

EQUIPMENT | TIRES 

BY RON LYSENG 

WINNIPEG BUREAU 

Tires on centre pivot irrigation systems 

have something in common 

with implement tires: if just one goes 

down, the whole machine goes 

down. 

The tire issue for irrigators took a 

giant step forward this September 

when Dawson Tire and Wheel introduced 

its RhinoGator plastic puncture-proof 

pivot tires. 

Like Henry Ford’s Model T, the RhinoGator 

comes in any colour a 

farmer would want, as long as it’s 

lime green. 

According to Dawson, the new tire 

never goes flat. It is manufactured in 

two 180 degree halves that bolt 

together, fitting snugly on a standard 

sized pivot rim. 

Each half is hollow inside but is 

encased in a special plastic so mud and 

water cannot get inside. Bolt holes are 

moulded into the flanges where the 

two halves join. The tires are easily 

installed using standard wrenches. 

The high-density plastic resin was 

engineered specifically for the daily 

rigours of a pivot tire. The formula 

accounts for weight, torque stress, 

exposure to sunlight and resistance to 

chemicals. The formula includes 

renewable plastic made from corn. 

“We have done some very vigorous 

testing and we haven’t had 

one crack or leak yet,” said Kacie 

Morris, marketing manager at 

Dawson. 

“We field tested for thousands of 

hours, plus we’ve sold 700 tires. 

We’ve had no reports of problems 

of any kind.” 

The bright lime green Rhino- 

Gator tires are manufactured 

in Gothenburg, Nebraska, and 

many have been sold in the 

immediate area. 

Some irrigators say they like the 

tires because they’re easy to spot 

in the field when they need to do 

maintenance work. 

Joe Wahlgren installed six RhinoGators 

on three quarter-section 

pivots this year. 

“We wanted three different environments, 

three different crops, so 

we could monitor them and make 

comparisons,” he said. 

The tread design was engineered 

for maximum traction in wet soil 

because a pivot tire runs only in wet 

conditions. The non-directional lugs 

ensure that the tire has maximum 

traction travelling clockwise or 

counter-clockwise. 

The rigid centre rib allows engineers 

to use a lower profile sidewall 

for added strength. 

RhinoGator tires can be used in 

combination with conventional 

rubber tires of the same size. 

They are available in the three 

standard sizes for pivots: 11.2-38, 

11.2-24 and 11-24.5. 

“We had no structural issues,” 

Wahlgren said. 

“There’s air inside, but they’re not 

pressurized, so they won’t collapse if 

there’s a puncture. They’re made of 

rigid structural plastic that will support 

them if there’s a leak. They never 

go down.” 

He said there was no sign of deterioration 

from chemicals or sunlight 

this summer, which was the first year 

he used the tires. The lug design gave 

him good traction in all conditions, 

he added. 

Tim Schmeeckle put RhinoGator 

tires on two of his quarter section pivots. 

They were first generation tires 

sold in limited quantities before the 

official rollout in September. 

“I’m going to put them 

on all my pivots, 

gradually over time as the rubber 

tires need replacement. Eventually, 

all 14 pivots will be on plastic tires,” 

he said. 

“The idea is that we just install them 

and then forget about them. The traction 

is good. I’m happy so far.” 

Morris said Dawson doesn’t plan to 

expand into heavier machines such 

as tractors, high clearance sprayers 

and combines. 

“(As for Canada,) at this time we do 

not have any Canadian dealers, but 

we will be looking to expand into 

Canada once sales pick up more.” 

The RhinoGator carries a list price 

of $495 per tire.

KOCHIA | CONTROL 

2,4-D won’t solve glyphosate resistance 

Kochia problems | A higher concentration of 

dicamba may be necessary 

BY ED WHITE 


Some farmers in southern Alberta 

and into Saskatchewan have two 

problems: 

• they have glyphosate resistant 

kochia and don’t realize it 

• when they realize it, they will probably 

think 2,4-D will get rid of it 

Bob Blackshaw of Agriculture 

Canada’s Lethbridge research centre 

said only a few fields of glyphosate 

resistant kochia have been identified, 

but that’s not much of a relief. 

“You start looking, you start finding,” 

said Blackshaw. “It’s quite likely 

widespread already.” 

Three fields in southern Alberta 

were found to have glyphosate resistant 

kochia two years ago after a 

farmer contacted Blackshaw. 

Forty-six fields in the area were 

tested near the end of the 2011 season 

and seven also had glyphosate 

resistant kochia. 

Four fields have also been identified 

in Saskatchewan. 

Three hundred fields were tested 

this year and the results will be analyzed 

this winter. 

However, Blackshaw said people 

shouldn’t be surprised that the problem 

is developing. Glyphosate is 

used so often, especially in chem fallow 

systems, that fields have 30 to 40 

applications of the chemical within a 

few years. 

“There is no reason to believe we 

are not having selection at multiple 

BOB BLACKSHAW 

AGRICULTURE CANADA 

sites,” said Blackshaw. 

Chemicals such as dicamba still 

work well to control kochia, so there 

are ways to clean up outbreaks. 

Group 2 herbicides don’t generally 

work on kochia, but some producers 

still use them. 

Farmers especially believe 2,4-D is 

a good way to knock out kochia, 

which is false. 

“2,4-D never was good on kochia, 

and it is not going to work,” said Blackshaw. 

“2,4-D is not going to cut it.” 

Dicamba is effective, but increasing 

the concentration is probably necessary. 

“We’re probably going to have to go 

with higher rates,” said Blackshaw. 

Glyphosate-resistant kochia is 

new to Alberta but not to the U.S. 

Great Plains. Kansas farmers have 

been struggling with it for years and 

have done much research on the 

problem. 

Frequent use of glyphosate allows 

some plants that have multiple 

copies of a certain gene to survive

Volunteer camelina plants 

easy to eradicate: researcher 

Not highly competitive | Weed treatments wipe out volunteers 

BY ED WHITE 


Farmers might like camelina sativa 

for its big oilseed yields, but many 

worry about the large number of 

seeds the combine leaves behind. 

With 7,500 seeds per sq. metre 

missing the hopper, that could produce 

a massive weed crop in future 

years. 

However, a University of Alberta 

researcher says camelina growers 

can rest easy: the seeds don’t survive 

long, produce weak offspring and are 

easily managed. 

“The seeds exited the seed bank 

within one year, although surface 

seeds tended to persist a bit longer,” 

Kimberly Walsh said during the Canadian 

Weed Science Society’s annual 

meeting in Winnipeg Nov. 14. 

Camelina seeds are about onethird 

the size of canola seeds and 

easily escape from the combine. 

They can germinate in the autumn 

and lie dormant over the winter, or 

they can germinate in the spring if 

oped types as old ones disappear 

from the seed bank. The tumbleweed 

nature of kochia then spreads the 

seeds far and wide.

sufficient moisture is present. 

“There definitely is a flush,” said 

Walsh. 

However, a pre-seeding treatment 

of glyphosate wipes out most of the 

volunteer camelina, and an in-crop 

weed treatment tends to eliminate 

the rest. The seed’s general low survivability 

means there’s almost none 

by the second year. 

“My research shows that volunteer 

populations can be eradicated to 

near extinction within two years,” 

Walsh said in an interview. 

Still, farmers can reduce the potential 

for camelina appearing as a weed 

by fine-tuning the mechanics of their

have to get used to having tank mixes 

again and to research which chemistries 

actually work on the weed. 

harvesting, from slowing down to 

adjusting settings. 

Walsh was asked why she considers 

camelina to have a low potential for 

weediness when it was considered a 

weedy crop that could go feral in the 

1930s and 1940s. She said present 

camelina varieties have been bred for 

domestic conditions. 

“I did not find that camelina is a 

highly competitive crop.” 

Even volunteer flushes ignored by 

farmers tend to do poorly against 

other crops and weeds. Shepherd’s 

purse and stinkweed outcompete 

camelina. 

Walsh said her research allows her 

to conclude that farmers should be 

able to grow camelina without its 

large seed loss creating a significant 

volunteer problem. 

However, farmers need to do their 

part by cleaning fields the year after 

growing the crop. 

“Weed control in the year following 

harvest is critical for the control of 

camelina volunteers and the mitigation 

of gene flow,” she said.

CEREALS | DISEASE 

Got ergot? 

How much? 

Ergot poisoning is poorly 

understood but students 

attempt to find answers 

Three University of Alberta students 

were looking for a major project 

as they neared the end of their 

undergraduate agriculture degrees. 

They had noticed a shortage of 

comprehensive information about 

ergot poisoning in livestock and an 

easy way for growers to evaluate 

whether grain contained enough of 

the fungal disease’s black sclerotia to 

be considered harmful. 

Jacob Onyschuk, Shelby Froland 

and Dani Smerek decided to figure 

out how to make it easier to measure 

for toxic levels of ergot in wheat. 

“We were actually surprised how 

hard it was to put all the data together. 

There isn’t any one-stop-shopping 

when it comes to ergot information,” 

said Onyschuk. 

The students have created a simple 

sample kit that provides producers 

with a fact sheet and a handy, 

pocket-sized card that contains the 

measurement information and 

allowable tolerance for cattle and 

hogs at different stages of development 

and for pullets, laying hens 

and broilers. 

“Farmers will know if their grain is 

acceptable for the various livestock 

using the reference card and a onecup 

measure,” Onyschuk said. 

“Take 25 sample cups and examine 

each for ergot. We have established 

the amount that can be tolerated for 

each (animal) from a sample that 

size,” he said. 

The 6.25 litre sample is large 

enough to be scientifically sound, 

while not so large that it is difficult to 

examine. 

The students will submit their project 

and then plan to make it available 

in December through the U of A and 

HiPro, a feed company from Fort 

Saskatchewan, Alta., which has 

helped them in the project. 

“It’s a tool. Farmers can use it to 

decide if they have enough (ergot) to 

be a problem and if they do, how 

much grain they will need to dilute 

it,” Onyschuk said. 

Ergotism causes animals to go off 

their feed. It can also result in death, 

abortions, deformed offspring and 

lameness. 

NEW PRODUCTS 

UTILITY TRACKING 

Soucy of Quebec is known for its track 

systems, which are found on tractors and 

combines. 

The company is now offering a smaller set 

for four-wheel utility carts. 

They are available in three sizes. 

The smallest set of tracks for front axles are 

11.5 inches wide, to allow steering, and 14 

inches in the rear. A 14-inch front track is also 

available. 

An upward sloped front track allows the 

units to climb when they first encounter an 

obstacle, keeping traction and flotation 

maximized. 

Ultra High Molecular Weight plastic 

wheels with a plastic bound rubber band 

drives the tracks, allowing the hubs to shed 

snow and mud. 

The wheels are narrow, to keep snow from 

accumulating in the wheels. 

PRODUCTION 

Once installed, the units result in the UTV 

putting less than one pound per sq. inch 

onto the ground. 

The tracks can be swapped for tires in 

about 30 minutes, after an in initial 90 minute 

installation, says the company. 

A set of tracks is priced from $4,700.

GM WHEAT | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK 

Education essential 

for GM wheat to fly 

Address critics | Wheat commission says biotech 

sector has to inform consumers of the benefits 


OTTAWA BUREAU 

The general manager of the nascent 

Alberta Wheat Commission says 

genetically modified wheat is inevitable 

as a Canadian crop, perhaps 

within the next decade. 

Rick Istead told the House of Commons 

agriculture committee Nov. 20 

it will be a necessary development 

Smart farmers read the fine print. 

*On average, TagTeam pea and lentil inoculants outperformed competitor, single-action (nitrogen-fixing only) inoculants by 7% in independent large-plot research trials.

because wheat yields have to increase 

and the crop must become 

more efficient in using water and 

fertilizer. 

“I believe GMO wheat will come 

eventually,” he said. “I’m not sure 

when exactly that will be. Some predict 

within the next 10 years. We 

know there are developments currently 

underway.” 

He acknowledged that there still is 

resistance in some markets so the 

development must be co-ordinated 

and come with significant effort to 

win over consumers. 

“It needs to continue to be science 

based and that technology as we 

develop it, we’ll need to do a much 

better job of educating and communicating 

the value of the technology 

and why it is necessary and not be 

afraid of addressing our critics,” he 

told MPs. 

Istead said research in Australia has 

shown the potential of 30 percent 

yield increases with GMO wheat 

varieties. 

He was immediately challenged by 

anti-GMO New Democratic Party 

MPs. 

British Columbia MP Alex Atamanenko 

said the Australian results 

are preliminary. 

“According to the research I’ve done, 

there’ve been no major increases in 

yield through GM,” he said. 

“It’s all been through good conventional 

breeding with any crop in the 

world.” 

He wondered if the industry has the 

strength to resist the next attempt to 

introduce the technology now that 

the CWB’s export monopoly is gone. 

The board was one of the strong critics 

of earlier attempts to bring GM 

wheat to Canada. 

Quebec New Democrat Francine 

Raynault asked why Canada should 

risk alienating traditional markets by 

embracing GM technology for 

wheat. 

“We have to be able to demonstrate 

to the customer, the consumer, the 

benefits or value that GM technology 

brings to them and to the market,” 

said Istead. 

It will require education of foreign 

consumers and the assurance of a 

scientific evaluation that GM products 

on the market shelf are safe and 

equivalent to products derived from 

conventional plant breeding. 

However, he conceded market 

acceptance will be a challenge. 

“Unfortunately, there’s a significant 

portion of the population who are 

not in favour of GMOs and biotechnology,” 

said Istead. 

“I lived in Europe when that issue 

was really a problem over there. I 

think we’re beginning to see signs 

that the Europeans are starting to 

have a little more tolerance for it.” 

He thinks consumers will eventually 

start to see the value of it. 

“What we need to convince them of 

is that long-term, there is no risk 

associated with the technology.” 

Atamanenko, with side comments 

about B.C. opposition to a GM nonbrowning 

apple variety, indicated he 

is not about to be convinced about the 

long-term safety of the technology.

RURAL PROGRAM | PRAIRIE IMPROVEMENT NETWORK 



Fifteen years after it was founded, 

the Manitoba Rural Adaptation 

Council has a new identity. 

The council, which funds projects 

to invigorate Manitoba’s rural 

economy and supports innovative 

opportunities in agriculture, 

announced its new name Nov. 21. 

It is now known as the Prairie 

Improvement Network. 

“This is an exciting, interesting and 

challenging time in agriculture and 

the rural sector, and this fundamental 

change in the organization will 

position it to address the new realities 

in a competitive collaboration 

model,” executive director Ted Eastley 

said in a release. 

The council administers Manitoba’s 

portion of the Canadian Agricultural 

Adaptation Program, the latest 

version of a federal adaptation fund 

created when the Crow Rate ended. 

This spring, the federal government 

announced the program would 

expire in 2014. 

“So now is the opportune time to 

make the change,” Eastley said, noting 

the network will reach out to 

other funders in the future. 

“Because of the model we have 

developed (evaluating and monitor-

got an excellent model to use that to 

approach industry to administer 

research and development funds in 

an arm’s length method, as well as 

other government agencies, both 

federal and provincial.” 

Chair Terry Fehr said the federal 

decision wasn’t the sole factor behind 

the rebranding. The organization 

has been trying to broaden its 

mandate for awhile. 

“To diversify our funding sources 

and do more for rural Manitoba and 

agriculture in Manitoba,” said Fehr. 

He said the re-branding was probably 

overdue because after 15 years 

of existence, some Manitoba residents 

remained confused about 

MRAC. 

“In the past, there’s always been a bit 

of an identity crisis. When they see the 

name, the Manitoba Rural Adaptation 

Council, most often people think 

we’re part of the provincial government,” 

he said, even though MRAC 

wasn’t funded by the province. 

“That’s part of the impetus behind 

the rebrand, to set ourselves (apart).” 

MRAC, a non-profit corporation, 

has funded 600 projects and invested 

more than $23 million in rural adaptation 

and innovation in Manitoba 

since 1997.

Grant Wood 

Appealing to Urban Farmers 

By Mark Ferguson 

Grant Wood reaches into a grey container full of vegetables and pulls 

out a small tomato that appears to be turning black. They are called 

black prince tomatoes, he said, “but they are not actually black, they 

turn a dark shade of burgundy… absolutely delicious.” 

Wood, assistant professor in the Department of Plant Sciences in the 

College of Agriculture and Bioresources, has been working at the U of S 

for 27 years and his passion for growing food is infectious. He teaches 

one of the newest classes on the University of Saskatchewan campus, 

Urban Food Production (Plant Sciences 235). 

“The most important part of this class is the social aspect,” said Wood. 

“Yes, of course the class teaches students about food production, but I 

want to teach them about building a community around food.” 

Last year, 25 students enrolled in the class and 40 are taking it this 

semester. Wood thinks the class will continue to grow as students take 

more of an interest in becoming urban “farmers.” 

“Are you a farmer? You have a garden and you live in the city, but can 

you make a living growing urban vegetables and fruit?” 

Wood answers these questions in his class and talks about different 

ways his students could pursue careers in urban food production. He 

also teaches them about the nutritional and environmental benefi ts of 

keeping the production close to home. 

“Packaging, transportation costs, pesticides … these are the things we 

think about in this class. Hopefully some of the students will think about 

the potential for urban agriculture as a small business.” 

Wood added students come from a number of different colleges to 

take the class, which covers a lot of ground, including nutrition, basic 

soil science, planning, production and harvesting. The fi nal project 

involves a plan to transform an urban setting into a community or 

market garden. Wood said he really wants his students to design 

gardens that fi t into the landscape of the city. 

“There are so many things to think about when you are planning a 

garden, such as the older areas of Saskatoon where large old trees can 

completely shade the ground … but I have a million ideas for how this 

class could evolve: rooftop gardens, urban bee hives, urban chicken 

coops, urban livestock, fruit trees. All of these ideas require a community 

of people to make them work and that’s why it is the social aspect of 

urban food production that is the most important. 

“Food is everything.”

WINTER WHEAT | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK 

U. S. crop struggles in dry soil 

Crop rating lowest ever | Views differ over whether fall condition affects final winter wheat yields 

BY SEAN PRATT 


Depending on who you talk to, it’s 

either way too early to write off the 

U.S. winter wheat crop or time to pull 

out the eraser and pencil in a smaller 

production number. 

The crop is off to its worst start 

since condition ratings began in 

1986. Only 33 percent of the winter 

wheat was rated in good to excellent 

condition as of Nov. 26, down from 

52 percent a year ago. 

But those ratings can be deceiving, 

said Tom Leffler, owner of Leffler 

Commodities in Augusta, Kansas. 

“I’m not a real big believer in crop 

condition ratings,” he said. 

Kansas typically accounts for 36 

percent of the U.S. hard red winter 

wheat crop. The next biggest producer 

is Oklahoma at 12 percent. 

“Kansas is more important to the 

winter wheat crop than what either 

Iowa or Illinois or Indiana by themselves 

are to corn and soybeans,” 

said Leffler. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture 

estimates a mere 29 percent of 

Kansas’s winter wheat crop is in 

good to excellent condition, which 

is below the dismal nation-wide 

rating. 

Jim Shroyer, wheat specialist at 

Kansas State University, said there’s 

plenty of evidence to support that 

rating. 

“The first thing I saw is poor growth 

of secondary roots or crown roots,” 

he said in an article that ran on the 

Winter wheat crops are not 

made or lost this early in the 

season. Winter wheat is very 

much like cats — it has many, 

many lives. 

TOM LEFFLER 

ANALYST 

U.S. Wheat Associates’ website. 

Crown roots take up more water 

and nutrients than primary roots, so 

they are important for the plant to 

survive the winter. And they help 

anchor the plant in the ground. 

“By this point in the season there 

should be a much more extensive 

crown root system than what I 

found,” said Shroyer. 

Leffler isn’t as concerned about 

the condition of the crop heading 

into dormancy based on what he 

has seen and on reports he is getting 

from farmers in central Kansas 

through central Oklahoma, 

which is by far the most important 

winter wheat growing region of the 

country. 

“That’s probably some of the better 

looking wheat. Two weeks ago a 

lot of that area picked up an inch or 

better of rain. That really made a lot 

of difference,” he said. 

Leffler said it’s not good to have too 

much growth heading into dormancy, 

so he believes the crop could 

be in decent condition come spring. 

Informa Economics figures the 

poor start to the 2013-14 winter 

wheat crop will hurt yields. 

The forecaster sees a similar sized 

crop as last year despite what it 

believes is an extra million acres that 

went in the ground of hard and soft 

wheat. 

Some analysts suggest there is no 

correlation between crop condition 

at this time of year and final yields. 

Neil Townsend, director of CWB 

Market Research, said that is malarkey. 

The CWB has been touring the 

U.S. hard red winter wheat growing 

areas in the first week of December 

for decades. 

“It is our opinion that you can 

make some judgments on the crop 

as it goes into dormancy,” he said. 

“We’ve been able to make some 

pretty good judgments on what’s 

going to happen. There is a correlation 

on the way it goes into dormancy 

and the final results.” 

Heading into this year’s tour, CWB 

is forecasting that U.S. winter wheat 

area will be up 900,000 acres over 

last year but production will be 

down 2.7 million tonnes. 

Townsend thinks the production 

forecast will drop further once colleague 

Bruce Burnett returns from 

his annual trip to the U.S. plains. 

Based on the condition reports, 

there has already been excessive 

damage to this year’s crop. 

The U.S. has a huge supply of hard 

red winter wheat, but if the pace of 

exports picks up in the next eight to 

10 weeks, wheat markets could get

WINTER WHEAT AREA DRY 

Analysts expect American farmers will 

seed more winter wheat this year but 

dry soils and poor crop conditions as 

the crop goes into winter dormancy 

might limit yield. Hard red winter

from a disastrous harvest in 2011-12.

interesting if the coming crop is 

indeed in trouble. 

Leffler insists it is much too early to 

be slicing yields. 

“Winter wheat crops are not made 

or lost this early in the season. Winter 

wheat is very much like cats — it 

has many, many lives. About the 

time you think that you’re walking 

away from a lost crop it can fool you,” 

he said. 

Forecasters are calling for the next 

month to be warmer and drier than 

normal, which won’t help matters but 

Leffler said spring precipitation is 

what will make or break the crop. 

“This crop could be a lot better than 

anybody dreamed of if the right 

weather conditions happen,” he said.

coming 

Barley, wheat and durum 

cheques on the way 

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN 


Interim CWB payments on wheat, 

durum and designated barley delivered 

during the 2011-12 crop year, 

the final year of the board’s monopoly, 

will be made in early December. 

The interim payments announced 

Nov. 21 for wheat range from $6.80 

to $50.95 per tonne depending on 

grade, class and protein level. 

The high end of the range will be 

paid on high protein No. 3 red 

spring and No. 3 hard white spring. 

The low end of the range will be 

paid on lower grade, low protein 

wheat. 

The interim payments for durum 

wheat range from $20.90 to $40.80 

per tonne. Almost all grades will get 

a payment of between $27 and $29 

per tonne. The $40.80 payment 

applies only to No. 4 CWAD. 

The interim payments for designated 

barley range from $11.70 to 

$19.70 per tonne. The high end of 

the range will be paid on six-row 

types. 

Payments per tonne for base 

grades, basis at port are: 

• No. 1 CW red spring wheat 12.5 

percent protein will fetch $24.35, 

raising the total payment to date 

to $276.70. 

The last Pool Return Outlook for 

2011-12 came out in July. At that 

time the PRO for No. 1 CWRS 12.5 

percent protein was $292. 

• No. 1 CW amber durum 12.5 percent 

protein will fetch $27.40, 

raising the total payment to date 

to $330.70. The July PRO for that 

grade was $350. 

• Select two-row designated barley 

will fetch $14.70 for a total payment 

to date of $296.60. The July 

PRO for that grade was $297. 

Farmers who receive CWB payments 

by direct deposit will receive 

the money Dec. 4. 

Cheques will start arriving in the 

mail by Dec. 13. 

Those wishing to defer payments 

have until Nov. 30 to notify the CWB. 

Interim payments are issued after 

the crop year ends. They are an early 

payment of proceeds that would 

otherwise be included in the final 

payment. A final payment to farmers 

is made after CWB accounts are 

finalized. 

A complete list of all payments is 

posted at www.cwb.ca under

its final crop estimates of the year on Dec. 5. | FILE PHOTO 

CANOLA | PRODUCTION NUMBERS 

Market awaits canola report 

Final tally | Analysts expect December production numbers 

to reflect yield losses from prairie windstorms and disease 

BY ED WHITE 


Big question marks float over the 

size of this year’s prairie canola 

crop, but the markets aren’t too anxious 

yet about the Statistics Canada 

final crop production estimates 

due Dec. 5. 

Crop traders have relaxed so much 

since the summer drought rally ran 

its course that it might take big 

changes in the crop size estimates to 

shake away the complacency. 

“I think it’d really have to take people 

off guard before you’d really see a 

whole lot of reaction,” analyst Jon 

Driedger of FarmLink Marketing 

Solutions said about the report. 

Analysts said traders have spent 

little time thinking about the report, 

even though canola stocks are razor 

thin after this year’s disappointing 

harvest. 

Analysts’ estimates for the final 

crop size range from 14 million to less 

than 13 million tonnes, a huge spread 

for this time of year. 

In October, Statistics Canada slashed 

prairie canola production to 13.2 million 

tonnes, an 8.1 percent decline 

from 2011-12 based on a decline of 17.5 

percent in average yield. 

Wild wind storms swept large parts 

of the canola growing area after that 

report’s survey was completed, and 

continued reports of low yields and 

quality damage due to disease have 

appeared. 

That would usually lead to intense 

interest in the Statistics Canada 

numbers, but the report comes out 

after a long, grinding decline of crop 

prices. Markets have fallen back a lot 

since the summer’s historic and 

explosive rally of corn, soybean and 

wheat prices. 

The slump in soybeans was particularly 

brutal for market bulls because 

tight ending stocks projections for 

U.S. soybeans have been a driving 

force for higher prices since late in 

the first quarter of this year. 

JON DRIEDGER 

FARMLINK MARKETING SOLUTIONS 

However, high soybean prices 

appear to have hurt demand. Chicago 

soybean futures have sold off from 

nearly $18 per bushel to about $14 

recently. 

Canola’s rally and decline were less 

pronounced than in soybeans. 

Analysts say that means canola is 

still pricey compared to soybeans. 

Guessing the Statistics Canada 

numbers is a regular activity for analysts, 

but this year’s number is particularly 

hard to estimate. 

Driedger said canola production 

estimates tend to grow from October 

to December, but that has to be balanced 

against the windstorm damage. 

However, Ball thinks the windstorm 

did less damage than many 

believe and have claimed. 

Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity 

Research said he also thinks 

the wind damage was overstated, 

and thinks most farmers have probably 

under-reported their yields. 

Farmers have already delivered 

much more of this year’s canola crop 

than normal for this time of year, if 

Statistics Canada’s October numbers 

were right, Penner said. 

More likely is that Statistics Canada’s 

number was too small and that 

the flow of canola to port is normal. 

The December numbers will confirm 

if this is true. 

Ball said he wouldn’t be surprised 

to see the production estimate 

trimmed by 300,000 to 400,000 

tonnes. 

“It wouldn’t be a shock to be below 

13 million,” said Ball. 

Driedger said he thinks 13 million is 

a reasonable estimate. 

However, Penner thinks the estimate 

is more likely to be increased by 

hundreds of thousands of tonnes, 

with it more likely to hit 14 million 

than fall under 13 million. 

“There’s room for it to move up 

quite a way,” said Penner. 

There could easily be a market reaction 

if the crop drops below 13 million 

tonnes, analysts said. 

“The canola situation is still very 

tight and demand is still strong, so 

canola will probably have to 

become more expensive to kill 

some demand coming down the 

road,” said Ball. 

Added Driedger: “Because we’re 

already so tight, if you come out 

with anything below (13 million 

tonnes) it’s going to make things 

really tight.” 

However, if the Statistics Canada 

estimate is little changed, it is unlikely 

to break canola far from its present 

relationship to the soybean, corn and 

wheat markets, analysts said.

BARLEY | PRICE OUTLOOK 

Feed, malt barley 

spread could narrow 

Feed prices firm | Demand could suffer, say analysts 

Tight feed grain supplies will likely 

buoy barley prices this winter, says 

an Alberta Agriculture crop markets 

analyst. 

Charlie Pearson told southern 

Alberta barley and wheat growers 

Nov. 21 that their location in the province’s 

prime cattle feeding region 

puts them in a slightly different market 

position, but overall tighter supplies 

will affect prices across Western 

Canada. 

“I think that will support barley 

through the winter,” Pearson said in 

an interview after a presentation to 

growers. 

Barley prices didn’t follow the highs 

of U.S. corn after this summer’s 

drought in the United States depleted 

yield, nor did they match the recent 

steep drop in U.S. corn markets when 

high prices discouraged buyers. 

“Again, we haven’t rallied as hard, 

but then we’re not going to drop off as 

hard, either,” he said. 

“In fact, I think we’ll probably flatten 

out at, in Saskatchewan, something 

over $5 (per bushel) and then 

we’re probably going to see something 

pretty close to $6 in the 

Lethbridge area through the winter.” 

Pearson sounded a note of caution 

about declining livestock numbers 

in the U.S. and Canada, which don’t 

bode well for feed grain demand in 

the next year or two. 

Narrow margins on the livestock 

side have also encouraged livestock 

producers to seek alternative feeds 

and substitutes for more expensive 

feed grains. 

“In terms of your customer, which I 

guess is a cow or a pig, we’re starting 

to see some declining numbers and a 

drought in a time period really when 

we should start that process of growing 

livestock numbers again, we’re 

getting the signals to continue on the 

current decline, so that’s a little bit 

scary.” 

Hot summer weather reduced barley 

yields in Canada, and Pearson 

wondered whether Statistics Canada’s 

8.5 million tonne figure will 

prove accurate. 

If so, that will give Canada a one 

million tonne carryover, which is 

considered tight. 

BARLEY STOCKS SHRINK 

79 

The drought-reduced U.S. corn crop 

and tightening global barley stocks are 

supporting feed barley prices. However, 

the upside is limited due to reduced 

demand from shrinking Canadian and 

American livestock herds.

ANALYST 

A hot feed market has also narrowed 

the price spread between feed 

and malting barley. 

“It’s squeezing up to your malt, and 

if the maltster doesn’t pay up, then 

obviously that barley’s going to head 

off into the feed market,” he said. 

Pearson said maltsters have indicated 

they have enough supply now, 

but there are indications they will be 

buying again in spring. 

Drought in Russia, Ukraine and 

Kazakhstan has also reduced supplies. 

Excess rain is affecting crops in 

Argentina, and dry conditions in 

western Australia may affect that 

country’s yield. 

Those factors tend to support current 

prices, Pearson said.

CHINESE PRODUCTION | TECHNOLOGY 

Chinese crop imports may be less than forecast 

MARKET WATCH 

D’ARCE McMILLAN 

China shocked the oilseed market 

a couple of weeks ago 

when buyers there cancelled 

600,000 tonnes of soybean imports. 

The question is whether that signals 

a serious slowdown in oilseed 

demand. 

Reuters polled 15 analysts and traders 

for their view of China’s soybean 

imports. The average of the results 

was that the Asian giant would increase 

its soybean imports in 2012-13 

by only three percent, down from 15 

percent last year and the slowest 

increase since 2006-07. 

China’s imports account for 60 percent 

of the world’s soybean trade. 

That demand supports the price of all 

oilseeds, including canola. 

However, Chinese crushers are 

running into financial problems. 

They got spooked by the U.S. 

drought and rising soybean prices. 

Worried that prices would climb 

higher, they started an aggressive 

buying program. 

Then, when U.S. farmers actually 

harvested the crop, yields were not as 

bad as feared. Soybean prices began 

to soften. They fell more as it became 

clear South American farmers were 

seeding what will likely become a 

record large soybean crop. 

Chinese crushers were stuck with 

commitments to buy expensive soybeans 

and they started posting heavy 

losses when the market fell. 

China’s crushing industry is already 

weakened by excess capacity after a 

rapid crushing plant construction 

boom in recent years. 

Capacity grew last year by 10 percent 

to an estimated 125 million 

tonnes per year, a huge surplus considering 

domestic consumption last 

year was 72 million tonnes. 

Also, crushers say they expect 

meal demand from the livestock 

industry will weaken, as it often 

does after the Moon Festival holiday 

in early October. 

While China’s demand growth for 

soybeans might have slowed, U.S. 

soybean exports so far this crop year 

are good. 

Exports sales, both those outstanding 

and those already shipped to date 

this marketing year, are well ahead of 

last year at the same point. Total 

commitments are 27.045 million 

tonnes. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

target for the year is 36.61million, 

so there are still 9.56 million 

tonnes yet to be sold. 

A drastic drop-off would weigh on 

oilseed prices and potentially increase 

the carryout at the end of the 

crop year. However, it is too soon to 

know if that will happen. 

China’s corn conundrum 

China’s rising oilseed imports have 

been a critical factor in oilseed markets 

for about a decade, and corn 

exporters have been waiting for the 

day that China can no longer meet its 

own grain demand. 

China gave up on supplying its 

oilseed needs but still has a firm policy 

on being 95 percent self-sufficient 

in grain. 

However, many analysts believe 

China is incapable of keeping up with 

My view is that within the next 

seven to 10 years the gap in 

terms of demand and supply will 

probably be reduced to close to 

zero if the technology can reach 

the farmer.

its rising corn needs. 

A Rabobank report from early this 

year projects that by 2015-16, China’s 

corn deficit will rise to 12 to 22 million 

tonnes from almost no deficit in 

2011-12. The growing pork industry 

is the key driver for growing corn 

demand. 

However, the Chinese government 

seems intent on not losing a grip on 

its grain self-sufficiency goal, even as 

it works out trade deals with Argentina 

and Ukraine to pave the way for 

corn imports from those countries, 

ensuring that it won’t be dependent 

on the United States if it falls behind 

in the production race. 

Agriculture was discussed at the 

recent Communist Party of China 

congress in Beijing, where leadership 

was passed on to a new generation. 

Agriculture minister Han Changfu 

said the next five to 10 years are a key 

period for the development of China’s 

agriculture sector, with production 

factors such as land, water and 

labour getting tighter. 

“Beijing will breed a new type of 

agricultural player and develop 

large-scale mechanized farming,” 

Reuters reported Han as saying. 

China’s corn yields average only 60 

percent of those in the U.S., but they 

could catch up if they adopt the latest 

in seed technology. 

However, they will have to make the 

change in conjunction with farm 

consolidation and a huge push to 

mechanization to make up for a lack 

of labour as young rural people head 

for the jobs, excitement and other 

opportunities in cities. 

Xinhua, China’s official news 

agency, recently ran a story about a 

farmer in Jilin in northeastern China 

who joined a research and demonstration 

project using new seed 

varieties and technology to boost 

yields. 

The farm’s production grew by 50 

percent over the previous year. 

The same story notes China has 

built more than 3,500 high-yield 

farms, each one covering about 1,600 

acres of cornfields. 

International seed companies such 

as Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer and 

Syngenta are also active in China, 

seeing potential to sell improved 

seed varieties. At least one company 

is optimistic that China can remain 

self-sufficient by adopting new technology. 

“My view is that within the next 

seven to 10 years the gap in terms of 

demand and supply will probably be 

reduced to close to zero if the technology 

can reach the farmer,” Diego 

Diz, China corn marketing lead for 

Monsanto, told Reuters. 

It looks like China’s rural population

AUSTRALIA | WHEAT 

Australia’s 

low protein 

wheat offset 

by U.S. supply 

The U.S. produced high 

protein winter and spring 

wheat crops, limiting the 

chance of protein premiums 

BY SEAN PRATT 


Australian wheat farmers have 

been hit by a double whammy of disappointing 

yields and poor protein 

levels, but don’t expect that to bolster 

protein spreads in North America, 

says a market analyst. 

The damage caused by drought in 

Western Australia has been well 

documented. The U.S. Department 

of Agriculture is forecasting 21 million 

tonnes of wheat production, 

down from last year’s 29.5 million 

tonne crop. 

However, there has been little market 

chatter about the quality of the 

Australian crop. The country’s top 

quality wheat is grown in southern 

Queensland and northern New 

South Wales, two states in eastern 

Australia where drought hasn’t been 

the problem. 

“They got water and rain at the 

wrong time and that did reduce their 

protein,” said Neil Townsend, director 

of CWB Market Research. 

Newspaper reports out of Australia 

confirm that the supply of top quality 

wheat from the world’s second largest 

wheat exporting nation will be 

tight. 

Townsend said that might send 

more business Canada’s way, but 

Australia’s restricted supplies will be 

more than offset by the glut of high 

protein wheat in North America. 

“It doesn’t look like there’s going to 

be quite enough crunch to send the 

prices spiraling,” he said. 

Canada’s 2012 crop had about average 

protein content, but the U.S. crop 

was far better than usual. 

The U.S. hard red winter wheat crop 

had an average protein level of 12.6 

percent, up from the five-year average 

of 12 percent. As well, the hard 

red spring crop had an average of 14.7 

percent, up from the five-year average 

of 14.1 percent. 

Townsend said the market appears 

to be more focused on the ample 

supplies of high protein wheat in the 

United States than it is on the deficit 

in Australia. 

He doesn’t see the spread between 

Minneapolis and Chicago wheat 

widening in the coming months. 

“If anything, that’s just going to get 

more narrow as we go along because 

the perception is there’s lots of protein 

in North America,” he said. 

That market attitude is likely to be 

bolstered by early signs of another 

drought in the hard red winter wheat 

growing region of the U.S. 

The crop is in the worst shape heading 

into dormancy since crop condition 

ratings first started in 1986. More 

hot and dry weather is on the way, 

according to forecasters. 

A dry growing season would likely 

result in another high protein U.S. 

winter wheat crop. 

“I don’t see much upside for the 

protein right now,” said Townsend.

Corn price rises as U.S. export prospects improve

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. 

corn prices are faring better than 

those for soybeans, with the gap 

between the two narrowing from 

about $9.50 per bushel in September, 

the widest in more than four years, to 

about $6.80 now. 

Expectations are for corn to continue 

closing the spread with soybeans 

as export demand picks up 

because of shrinking supplies of corn 

in South America and feed wheat in 

Europe. 

The point was underscored in the 

weekly export sales report from the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture

Corn sales totalled 958,600 tonnes, 

the highest in 10 weeks. 

Japan, the world’s largest importer

HOG PRICES FIRM 

Holiday packer closures in the 

United States reduced the pork volume 

in the pipeline. 

Market-ready hog supply is tightening 

after being high through most 

of the fall and packers will have to 

pay up to get supply needed for 

December. Packer operating margins 

were positive. 

Data from the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture showed that October 

slaughter posted a record for any 

month as producers culled herds to 

avoid feeding high price corn. Pork 

production in October was a record, 

up nine percent over the same month 

last year. 

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs 

delivered at packing plants were 

$57.50 US per hundredweight Nov. 

23, about steady with $57 Nov. 16.

recently bought 646,500 tonnes of 

corn from the United States, the largest 

weekly purchase in nearly two 

years. 

Traders saw Japan’s purchase as a 

sign U.S. corn was becoming more 

competitive in the global market as 

Argentina runs low on supplies and 

Black Sea suppliers such as Ukraine 

also run out of grain to export. 

Grain markets hit record highs this 

summer as the worst drought in half 

a century devastated U.S. crops 

However, recent USDA reports 

showed that timely rain in August 

benefitted soybean production. 

While January soybeans have 

tumbled 21 percent from their 

record high of $17.94 3 /4 per bushel 

set Sept. 4, December corn futures 

Feedlots are current in their marketing 

and market-ready supply 

should tighten. That will likely cause 

a standoff this week with packers 

who have negative margins. 

COW PRICES UP 

A counter seasonal increase in 

butcher cow value pushed prices to 

the highest point since early October. 

Despite increasing supplies, 

butcher cows rose 50 cents per cwt. 

D1, D2 cows were $60-$74 to average 

$66.92 and D3 cows were $54-$64 to 

average $59.25. 

Western Canadian D1, D2 cows 

again fetched a premium over eastern 

Canadian values. 

Rail bids were generally $1 higher 

at $130-$135. 

Butcher bull quality has been 

mixed and prices were nearly $2 

lower and average values are now at 

annual lows. 

Non-fed exports to Nov. 10 totalled 

7,787, the largest since January 2010. 

FEEDERS EDGE LOWER 

The Canfax average steer price fell 

U.S. slaughter for the week, which 

was shortened by U.S. Thanksgiving, 

fell to 2.07 million from 2.37 million 

the week before. It was steady with 

2.07 million a year ago. 

BISON STEADY 

The Canadian Bison Association 

said Grade A bulls in the desirable 

weight range sold up to $3.85 Cdn. 

per pound hot hanging weight. 

Grade A heifers sold at prices up to 

$3.75. 

Those outside the desirable weight 

range were discounted. 

In the live market in light trade, 

yearlings were mostly $1.80-$2.10. 

HEAVY LAMB PRICES FALL 

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., 

reported 1,677 sheep and 236 goats 

sold Nov. 19. 

Wool lambs lighter than 70 lb. were 

$122-$140 per cwt., 70 to 85 lb. were 

have fallen 12 percent from their 

record high of $8.43 3 /4 per bu. Aug 

10. 

“If you are a fund manager looking 

at the grain sector to get more bang 

for your buck, you might like the corn 

market,” said grain analyst Ken 

Smithmier of the Hightower Report 

in Chicago. “Traders have their eyes 

on the spread. 

“There is more concern about corn 

production in South America than 

beans.” 

Traders looking to confirm corn’s 

ascendancy will also watch the 

amount of corn used to make ethanol 

and livestock feed demand. 

Months of incessant rain in Argentina, 

the world’s second largest corn 

exporter after the U.S., have delayed 

seeding, leading the government to 

34 cents and heifers fell 44 cents. 

Calves 300-500 pounds fell $1-$2 

per cwt. while short keep yearlings 

traded steady. 

Pre-sorted and one owner packages 

of replacement quality heifers 

fetched a premium. Choice packages 

of heifers are selling comparable 

with steers. 

Eastern Canadian buyer support 

was noted, with good interest in 

fresh weaned and pre-conditioned 

calves. 

Yearlings held a slight price advantage 

over similar weight calves born 

in January and February. 

Stronger cattle futures caused 

weaker basis levels, with the 750 lb. 

steer basis now the weakest since 

June 9. 

The week’s auction volume was 

87,043, up 27 percent. 

Weekly feeder exports to Nov. 10 

totalled 1,353, down 36 percent. 

Pre-conditioned calves should 

fetch a premium over fresh-weaned 

calves. 

The spread between 900 lb. and 

heavier steers and heifers could narrow 

as more replacement quality 

open heifers are offered. 

$115-$135, 86 to 105 lb. were $110- 

$125 and 106 lb. and heavier were 

$100-$114.

GRAIN SYMPOSIUM | INDUSTRY CHANGES 

Anti-CWB forces 

celebrate changes 

Improved prices | No downside seen in transition 


OTTAWA BUREAU 

Prairie grain farmers opposed to 

the Canadian Wheat Board single 

desk were in Ottawa last week to 

party like it was 1942, before the CWB 

monopoly took effect. 

At a national grain symposium and 

before the House of Commons agriculture 

committee, they said transition 

from the Aug. 1 end of the single desk 

has gone as well as could be hoped. 

Prices are at record levels, deliveries 

for the first quarter of the crop 

year are well above normal and even 

rail service seems to have improved. 

“This change in the industry … is 

one of those events that most of us in 

our careers will only see once,” 

Cargill Canada president Len Penner 

told a grain symposium organized by 

Grain Growers of Canada and 

Canada Grains Council Nov. 21. 

Cherilyn Nagel from Mossbank, 

Sask., a former president of the Western 

Canadian Wheat Growers Association 

and a long-time opponent of 

the monopoly, said many of the critics’ 

predictions did not happen. 

There was not a flood of grain 

across the U. S. border, the border did 

not close and the delivery and transportation 

systems have been working 

well. 

“Overall, transition to the open 

market has gone well, from where I 

sit,” she said. 

Ian White, president of CWB, concurred. 

“It has been extremely smooth,” he 

said. “Some farmers are still confused 

about the new system but generally, I 

think they are getting used to it.” 

No farmers who fought the end of 

the CWB single desk were invited to 

speak or made any argument from 

the audience. 

White said in an interview that high 

commodity prices unrelated to the

Co-ops are still important organizing 

structures, especially considering 

the government’s trend of dismantling 

the regulatory processes 

and institutions that balance power 

relations in the agriculture industry, 

said Terry Boehm, National Farmers 

Union president. 

An example of the system being 

pulled apart is the Canadian Grain 

Commission coming under Agriculture 

Canada’s Administrative Monetary 

Penalties Act, meaning it will no 

longer be a quasi-independent institution, 

Boehm said in his opening 

address at the 43rd annual NFU convention 

in Saskatoon. 

“It became a department of the 

ministry of agriculture, as a function 

end of the monopoly undoubtedly 

helped smooth the transition. 

“If there had been low prices, I can’t 

say what would have happened and 

that story is yet to be told (when 

prices inevitably decline in future).” 

He said the board will continue to 

work “to find its place in the industry.” 

That includes working on its proposals 

about how to privatize the board, 

which have to be presented to the agriculture 

minister within four years. 

He said it is a priority and “we don’t 

want to leave it to the last minute,” 

suggesting a proposal could be ready 

well before the deadline and perhaps 

within two years. He predicted it will 

be “somewhere between” a recommendation 

that the board evolve into 

a co-operative or be sold to another 

company. 

White, an Australian hired in 2008 by 

to lead the CWB after the Conservative 

government fired the previous chief 

executive officer for resisting plans to 

end the monopoly, said he would like 

to stay on “to see the job done.” 

That would mean having a third 

appointment from the government 

in 2014 when his current three-year 

term expires. 

“I want to stay until I am sure the 

CWB is on the right footing,” he said. 

White said he has his Canadian 

residency papers. 

“I might even apply for citizenship.” 

Meanwhile, Alberta barley producer 

Brian Otto, chair of the Barley Council 

of Canada Working Group and an 

opponent of the CWB single desk, told 

Commons agriculture committee 

MPs Nov. 20 the end of the monopoly 

has put more money into farmers’ 

pockets, has converted some CWB 

supporters into open market supporters 

and even seems to have coincided 

with better rail service. 

“We have moved more grain this 

year than we have in the past 10 

years,” he said. 

of that act, and the minister has direct 

control,” Boehm said. “They have to 

put their priorities and plans before 

the minister before they proceed, 

whereas in the past they would just 

have to report.” 

The grain commission has provided 

a quality control system for a century, 

which would catch contaminated 

grain shipments going to port 

from the country elevator system. 

Boehm said it was constructed to 

work somewhat independently for a 

reason, and that putting it under the 

oversight of Agriculture Canada will 

lead to the end of inward inspection, 

and threaten Canada’s international 

reputation of reliable high-quality 

grain. 

Boehm said a significant problem 

in this country is something called 

regulatory capture: civil servants and

government have been captured by 

those with wealth and the ability to 

lobby constantly so that they can 

continue to construct regulations 

and laws that favour the wealthy and 

the powerful. 

“We have compartments of our 

governments that are identifying 

completely with the very parties they 

should be regulating to ensure there 

is a fair and economically just system 

operating for farmers or other citizens,” 

Boehm said Nov. 22. 

Co-ops, because they are self-built 

and self-controlled through a democratic 

process, are not easily dismantled 

and coerced by groups trying 

to extract as much as possible 

from farmers. 

Another threat against farmers’ 

ability to make a fair living are the 

trade agreements the government is

Investment treaty. 

“The terms of this agreement, without 

adequate debate and consultation 

or even information, are to last 

for 15 years at a minimum. But any 

arrangement that had been conducted 

under the terms of that agreement 

would continue for an additional 

15 years,” Boehm said. 

“This government has committed 

us to something that allows access to 

our natural resources, that protects 

the largest investors in the world for 

31 years less a day.” 

Boehm said these trade agreements 

strangle the ability to act as 

citizens and affect how governments 

behave. 

“This is a sobering statement for 

many of us who will probably close 

out our lifetimes within the terms of 

this agreement, and this is done with 

21 days of notice to the Parliament of 

Canada.” 

The NFU’s annual convention was 

titled Co-ops: An Exercise in Democracy. 

Boehm said the staggering 

concentration of wealth and resources 

promoted by laws, and threats to 

Canadian sovereignty from international 

trade agreements, means the 

power created by co-ops is essential 

for farmers to keep some control over 

their livelihoods. 

“It’s critically important at this 

point in time that we revisit the building 

of co-operatives, their value and 

their democratic structures and the 

positive attributes they bring to us in 

our ability to organize and to do 

things collectively in a way that benefits

Gov’t urged to pay 

for ‘public good’ 

Lobby wants Ottawa to pay 25 percent of CGC expenses 

STORIES BY BARRY WILSON 

OTTAWA BUREAU 

Representatives of the grain and 

oilseed sectors say they plan to resist 

Canadian Grain Commission proposals 

this month to sharply raise 

user fees. 

They will lobby for the government 

to pick up a larger share of commission 

costs because it provides a “public 

good.” 

They will also argue for a reduction 

in mandatory services that the commission 

still plans to provide in 

future. Fewer mandatory services 

would lead to lower farmer costs. 

Rick Istead, general manager of the 

Alberta Wheat Commission, told the 

House of Commons agriculture 

committee Nov. 20 that streamlining 

and trimming commission functions 

and costs is welcome, but the proposed 

transfer of costs to farmers is 

too high. 

“Our organization intends to 

respond to the proposed fee increases, 

which we feel are excessive,” he 

told MPs. “I think we need to go back 

and really challenge the grain commission 

on what value-added services 

are really necessary in this 

changed market for marketing wheat 

and barley.” 

At a grain industry symposium a 

few blocks from Parliament Hill 

Nov. 21, Marlene Caskey, a director of 

the Canadian Canola Growers Association, 

said her members appreciate 

the proposed Canada Grain Act 

reforms. However, she said the government 

is shifting too much of the 

funding responsibility to producers. 

The Conservatives are proposing 

that $5.45 million of the commission’s 

annual expenses be considered 

the cost of “public goods” to be 

picked up by federal funds. 

“That is nine percent of the grain 

commission budget,” Caskey said. 

“And as CGC costs decrease, it will 

be less. The public goods share 

should be 25 percent going forward.” 

Under federal budget legislation 

that comes before the House of Commons 

for final debate this week, the 

government is ending some grain 

commission services that it says are 

redundant. The cuts will take $20 

million out of system costs. 

Inward inspection will be ended and 

a grain trader bonding system will be 

transformed into an insurance system 

that will require less commission 

bureaucracy to administer. 

Beginning Aug. 1, 2013, the commission 

will be expected to pay most 

of its own way through reduced costs 

and increased fee-for-service revenue. 

It means that tens of millions of 

dollars in costs will be downloaded 

onto producers. Farmer fees have 

been frozen for two decades as commission 

costs grew and the need for 

annual federal subsidies to pay the 

bills escalated. 

The commission is holding consultations 

on its fee increase proposals 

through November, and final regulations 

on the new fee structure are 

expected to be completed and published 

by spring. 

Critics of what they call the govern-

ment deregulation program have 

denounced the proposed grain commission 

service cuts and realignment 

as a reduction in overseeing 

and certifying the quality and safety 

of Canadian grain. 

At the grain symposium last week, 

which was organized by Grain Growers 

of Canada and the Canada Grain 

Council, grain commission chief 

commissioner Elwin Hermanson 

said there will be no reduction in 

quality control. The services being 

cut are not essential, but if farmers 

want them to continue they can hire 

private providers or pay the commission 

a fee to do the work. 

Hermanson said he expects the 

government will bring in the second 

phase of reform in the new year.

Canada is leading an international 

effort to create rules for dealing 

with low-level unintended and 

unapproved GMO contamination 

in commodity shipments, but it is 

also edging toward creating its own 

standards. 

A recommendation to ministers on 

an appropriate Canadian policy to 

deal with low-level presence in imported 

shipments into Canada could 

be ready sometime next year, a 

senior bureaucrat involved in the 

process said last week. 

“It is an internal process and we are 

proceeding toward a recommendation,” 

Emilie Bergeron, acting deputy 

director of Agriculture Canada’s 

technical trade policy division, said 

Nov. 21 after a speech to an annual 

grain symposium in Ottawa. 

“The objective is to minimize the 

disruption of trade and to create 

more predictability.” 

She said options still on the table 

are whether to set the threshold 

level at 0.1 or 0.2 percent content in 

a shipment. 

A cross-departmental government 

group has been working on a proposed 

policy for months. It includes 

representatives from Agriculture 

Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection 

Agency, Canadian Grain Commission, 

Environment Canada, 

Health Canada and the foreign affairs

For the past several years, Canada

At a House of Commons agriculture 

committee meeting Nov. 20, 

Canola Council of Canada vicepresident 

Jim Everson offered an 

example of the damage the lack of

exporters.

been approved in the importing

“It’s unintentionally there,” he said. 

“It’s picked up because of air around 

a port. And that stopped a vessel 

worth millions, some (shipments) 

are worth $20 million or $25 million, 

for no good reason.” 

He said no GM product is shipped if 

it has not been approved using international 

scientific standards in at 

least one country, so these traces are 

not from rogue GM products but 

traces from a product not approved 

for sale in the importing country. 

Canadian flax exporters felt the 

sting of that when unapproved traces 

of a withdrawn GM variety, Triffid, 

showed up in shipments several years 

ago, closing a number of borders. 

Bergeron said Canada’s push on an 

international and domestic low-level 

presence policy was underway 

long before the Triffid incident, “but 

it did concentrate our minds as a real 

live example.”

FLAX | FOOD, FUEL PROCESSING 

Flax processed into flour, fuel 

Manitoba growers supply Toronto plant | The company hopes to build a facility in Manitoba 

BY SEAN PRATT 


Jon Dwyer is defying conventional 

wisdom in the biodiesel industry by 

using an unusual feedstock to fuel a 

plant in an unusual location. 

“A lot of people have told us that 

what we’re doing is crazy, but crazy 

makes money. You can’t do the same 

thing everybody else is doing,” said 

the chief executive officer of Flax 

Energy. 

The company opened a biodiesel 

plant in downtown Toronto in 2012 

that processes western Canadian flax 

into biodiesel, edible oil, flour and 

animal feed. 

“We wanted to prove that you can 

have an agricultural input in the 

downtown core of the largest city in 

the country, and we’ve successfully 

done that,” he said. 

One of the goals of the project is to 

help bridge the substantial divide 

between Toronto’s business community 

and Canadian farmers. 

“The Bay Street guys, they just simply 

don’t know. All they think about is 

mining and I believe there’s a lot of 

money and a lot of success to be had 

with Canadian agriculture.” 

Dwyer anticipates Flax Energy will 

produce 3.2 million litres of biodiesel 

and another 120,000 litres of food 

grade flax oil in 2013. 

The production of that amount of 

fuel and oil will require 10,000 tonnes 

of brown and golden flax, most of 

which will be bought from Manitoba 

suppliers. 

The company has purchased flax 

from grain companies, but it wants to 

eliminate the middleman where possible. 

“We want to get in touch directly 

with flax growers themselves. We 

want to be on the ground and purchasing 

direct as opposed to purchasing 

as a second party,” said 

Dwyer. 

Brown flax is used when the company 

wants to produce an omega 3 

animal feed sold to the horse, cattle, 

aquaculture and pet food industries. 

It switches to golden flax when it 

wants to produce omega 3 flour for 

the baking and pasta industries.

Construction is expected to begin 

in early 2013 on a new high-throughput 

grain elevator near Biggar, Sask.,

The plant plans to produce 1,600 

tonnes of feed and 612 tonnes of flour 

in 2013. 

The biodiesel it produces is sold to 

municipal trucking fleets in Ontario 

and will soon be used by a high profile 

customer. 

“We’re going to be powering the Rogers 

Centre here in Toronto, which is the 

old SkyDome,” Dwyer said. “All their 

trucks are going to run on our fuel.” 

will have a total capacity of 40,000 

tonnes, including 10,000 tonnes of 

private condo space. 

P & H customer service manager Jim 

Vancha said titled condo space will be 

sold to farmers in 2,500 bushel units. 

About two-thirds of available condo 

space has already been sold, he added. 

He is also attempting to convince 

the City of Toronto to run its buses on 

the locally produced biodiesel. 

“They’re buying the fuel from the 

United States and we’re right down 

the street,” said Dwyer. 

The company has ambitious plans 

to expand beyond the Toronto plant 

and the 500,000 litre pilot plant it 

operates in Port Colborne, Ont., 

which makes biodiesel out of waste 

vegetable oil. 

Those plans include building a 

facility in Jamaica and one in Western 

Canada. 

“We are looking at purchasing land 

in the Manitoba area, and we do 

want to open a facility out there 

because we just think that’s going to 

help us eliminate a lot of the externalities 

associated with being in the 

flax business but not necessarily in 

direct flax country,” said Dwyer. 

Construction of the elevator is 

scheduled for completion by late 

next year with the first deliveries 

slated for late fall of 2013. 

When the new facility opens, P & H 

will close an older facility located in 

Saskatoon.

It is expensive to truck flax from 

rural Manitoba to the plant in Toronto. 

The company is trying to reduce 

that expense by encouraging production 

closer to home. 

Flax Energy owns a 1,200 acre farm 

in Hamilton that supplies the plant 

with golden flax. 

The difficult 2012 growing season 

was ideal for proving to Ontario 

growers that they can add flax to their 

rotations. 

“It was like 33 C. It was hot when it 

shouldn’t have been. It was raining 

when it shouldn’t have rained and 

our flax grew fine. It was beautiful,” 

said Dwyer. 

“It stood up to the feeds that we’re 

getting from out west.” 

However, Flax Energy must first 

focus on reaching its Toronto plant’s 

annual capacity of 16.44 million litres 

of biodiesel.

THE BOTTOM LINE 

GLENN CHEATER 

Failure was never an option for 

Brenda vanDuinkerken. 

Eleven years ago, the Prince 

Edward Island businessperson set 

out to do what many before had tried, 

and failed, to accomplish: create 

tasty gluten-free food. 

She succeeded, and the story of 

Duinkerken Foods shows what can 

be accomplished with determination 

and a strong business plan. 

VanDuinkerken was 35 when, in 

1994, she was diagnosed with celiac 

disease, a condition in which gluten 

in wheat, barley and rye damages the 

lining of the small intestine and hampers 

its ability to absorb nutrients. 

The diagnosis was a shock, and so 

was the remedy. 

“You don’t realize how bad glutenfree 

foods taste until you eat them,” 

she said. 

“I missed bread the most. The 

products on the market didn’t have 

the taste or texture of real bread and 

you had to toast it just to make it palatable.”

Celiac sufferer’s plan to develop tasty food creates business 

After three years of testing and baking, Brenda vanDuinkerken’s gluten- 

free products are in major grocery stores. | FILE PHOTO 

Rather than eat “cardboard,” van- 

Duinkerken tried to avoid bread and 

baked goods altogether. 

“I tried but I couldn’t stay on a gluten-free 

diet,” she said. 

“By 2001, my health had hit rock 

bottom. I was down to 94 pounds (30 

lb. below normal) and naturally I was 

feeling pretty lousy. So I decided I 

would make gluten-free products 

that were so good people would be 

wowed when they tried them.” 

How she went about that holds a 

valuable lesson for any farm manager 

facing a seemingly insurmountable 

problem. 

Take away the big three bread 

grains — oats are also taboo for most 

celiacs — and you’re left making 

flour from potatoes, rice and tapioca, 

which are hardly a baker’s dream 

ingredients. 

However, vanDuinkerken decided 

she would explore every possibility 

DEERE & CO. | FINANCIAL RESULTS 

High dollar, expenses 

bite into Deere earnings 

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Deere & 

Co., the world’s largest farm equipment 

maker, has reported a weakerthan-expected 

quarterly profit as 

higher manufacturing costs and 

other expenses cut into earnings and 

a strong dollar reduced the value of 

international sales. 

Deere forecast higher sales and 

earnings for its new fiscal year last 

week, but its share price fell following 

release of the results because 

company profit missed Wall Street 

estimates. 

“Expectations were high coming 

into this report,” said JPMorgan analyst 

Ann Duignan. 

Overhead costs and spending on 

research and development rose by 

$100 million from the previous 

quarter, Duignan said in a note to 

clients. 

R & D expenses were up 14 percent 

year over year, while selling, administrative 

and other costs rose nine 

percent, partly because of increased 

incentive compensation, according 

to a company presentation. 

Although expenses are rising faster 

than inflation, sales have grown even 

faster, and the company needs to add 

staff to support higher sales volumes, 

said investor communications executive 

Susan Karlix. 

“We are very mindful of our ex- 

penses,” she said. 

Net income rose to $687.6 million, 

or $1.75 per share, in the fourth quarter 

ended Oct. 31 from $669.6 million, 

or $1.62 per share, a year earlier. 

The result missed the analysts’ 

average estimate by 13 cents a share, 

according to Thomson Reuters I/B/ 

E/S. 

Sales rose 14 percent to $9.79 billion, 

with equipment operations 

contributing $9.05 billion. Analysts 

expected sales of $8.85 billion. 

Stronger machinery sales in North 

America and higher prices offset 

weaker international demand and 

the negative impact of currency fluctuations. 

Deere said it expected flat North 

American demand for farm equipment 

in fiscal 2013 after a strong 

2012. Industry sales in euro zone 

countries will be flat to down slightly, 

while soft Indian and Chinese economies 

will keep demand flat there as 

well. 

The company expects the strongest 

demand to come from South America 

next year, reflecting a commodities 

boom. 

Overall, Deere equipment sales are 

expected to rise five percent in fiscal 

2013, with earnings increasing to 

$3.2 billion from $3.07 billion in 2012, 

the company said.

that might, even in a small way, get 

her closer to her goal. 

“For three years I just kept baking,” 

she says. 

“I’m sure I baked a thousand or 

more loaves of bread. And with a lot 

of it, you’d take one bite and then it 

was into the garbage. But I was making 

progress and that encouraged me 

to keep going.” 

Baking wasn’t the only thing on 

her to-do list. VanDuinkerken and 

husband Wayne owned a seafood 

export business, and while on business 

trips in North America and 

Europe she visited ingredient makers 

to see their manufacturing processes 

first-hand. She went to trade 

shows, consulted nutritionists, 

dietitians, bakers and other experts, 

and collected data on the buying 

habits of gluten-free consumers and 

the overall market. 

“Right from Day 1, we had a plan,” 

It’s so easy to be distracted if 

you don’t have a plan, a clear 

focus, and an end goal.

she said. “That’s what really keeps 

you going. Our goal was to make gluten-free 

products taste good and that 

was our focus all the time.” 

Step by step, she got closer to her 

goal. She discovered that some 

manufacturing processes produced 

flour that had a better texture when 

baked into bread. 

She learned how to adjust moisture 

levels so bread, muffins and cookies 

weren’t crumbly. She found ways to 

add vitamins and minerals to fortify 

her products. 

It was three years before the van- 

Duinkerkens were confident enough 

to sell their seafood business and 

launch their new company. 

Within two years, most major 

Canadian grocery chains were selling 

her products, and they were also 

distributed south of the border on 

Walmart’s U.S. website. Sales were 

soaring. 

“We wanted to be unique and we 

wanted to wow our customers, and 

that’s what we’ve done,” says vanDuinkerken. 

“But it all comes back to the 

plan. It’s so easy to be distracted if

you don’t have a plan, a clear focus, 

and an end goal.” 

We all know what dogged effort can 

accomplish, but it’s easy to be intimidated 

when confronted with a major 

challenge. 

Many farmers face that situation. 

Given today’s cost of land and equipment, 

how could you possibly double 

in size? How can a young farmer get 

started without a big inheritance? If 

you’re looking for change, how do 

you go about leaving the kind of production 

you’ve done all your life to 

take up an entirely new type of farming? 

Those are daunting undertakings, 

but no more than what vanDuinkerken 

faced. 

She said there were other keys to 

her success, including keeping debt 

to a minimum and setting realistic 

revenue targets. 

However, the key ingredient in her 

baking business was a willingness to 

explore every available option and 

never stop searching for new ones. 

“Every time we tried a new flour, we 

didn’t know what the end result 

would be,” vanDuinkerken said. 

“But I was determined and I 

believed that if I stuck with it, I would 

see results.”
