2 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSFARM GROUPS | FROM PAGE ONEPork council leaves CFA“We try to represent all commoditiesin all parts of the country. I think thevoice of a group that tries to reconcile allvoices is as valuable as it always was.”The perpetually cash-strapped CFAalso loses the more than $70,000 thatthe council pays in annual membershipfees.In the letter of withdrawal, Rice saidthe CPC had no trade allies withinCFA membership.“It would have been much easierfor CPC representatives to deal with ifthere were not significant existinggaps in coverage of key agriculturalsectors in CFA’s current commodityorganization membership, notablythe national organizations representingbeef cattle, grains andoilseeds producers.”Broader representation of exportdependentsectors would encouragethe CFA to take trade policy off thetable, “thus avoiding this source offriction and disharmony between itsmembers.”Former CPC president JurgenPreugschas was blunt, saying protectionistforces have taken over theCFA. He has been the pork councilrepresentative on the CFA board forthe past five years.He said the CFA insists on supportinga “balanced” policy that espousesboth domestic protection and exportexpansion, rather than shying awayfrom a policy position that divided itsmembers.“You can’t have a balanced tradepolicy,” said Preugschas. “There is nosuch thing. You are in favour of tradeor you’re not and you can’t be both.”He said his time on the CFA boardLETHBRIDGE BUREAUA short movie about chicken productionin British Columbia will besupported by the provincial BuyLocal campaign.was a constant struggle.“We can’t be tied to a policy thatvirtually neuters what we are tryingto work for,” he said.“It is really unfortunate that it (theCFA) is being very much controlledby the (Quebec) UPA and the SM5(supply management groups).”Preugschas and Bonnett said thetwo groups will continue to worktogether on some issues, although theformer CPC president said the groupwill also lobby in Ottawa on its own.The CPC is a member of the CanadianAgri-Food Trade Alliance.The two groups now divorcing havea long affiliation.For several decades, the pork councilcontracted with CFA to have counciladministration done by a CFAemployee.Until several years ago, the councilshared office space with the CFA.Bonnett defended the CFA’s “balancedposition” on trade issues.“It is very close to the federal government’sown position,” he said.POULTRY | HEADED FOR FILMB.C. chickens will soon be on videoThe poultry industry generatesalmost half a billion dollars forB.C.’s economy. | FILE PHOTOYou can’t have a balanced tradepolicy.

NEWS THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 3RESEARCH | WHEAT PROGRAMIndustry to collaborate on wheat researchProgram details coming| Sask. gov’t supportsproject to boost wheatproduction in the provinceBY BRIAN CROSSSASKATOON NEWSROOMThe National Research Council willsoon announce details of a multifacetedresearch initiative aimed atboosting wheat production and profitabilityin Canada.The Canadian Wheat Flagship StrategicAlliance is expected to involveplant scientists from the NRC, theUniversity of Saskatchewan andAgriculture Canada.Details of the program have notbeen released, but sources at theNRC confirmed last week that a formalannouncement is likely to comein the next two to three months.NRC spokesperson Patrick Bookhoutconfirmed that the researchcouncil is working with AgricultureCanada and the U of S on developing awheat program.“It will focus on research andgenomics … (biotic) and abioticstresses, cell technologies, plantdevelopment and beneficial wheatmicrobe interactions,” Bookhoutsaid.“However, at the time the program… hasn’t fully been implemented. It’sstill in the works … so at this time, wecan’t really give too many details.”The Saskatchewan governmentannounced last February that itwould provide an additional $10 millionover the next five years to supportnew wheat research projects in theprovince. It has already announcedplans to contribute $5 million overfive years to the strategic allianceinitiative.The remaining funds will be channeledthrough the province’s AgriculturalDevelopment Fund and willbe used to promote collaborativewheat breeding partnerships thatAn new initiative hopes to better co-ordinate wheat research in Canada, such as this stubble experiment at Agriculture Canada’s research centre inSwift Current, Sask. | FILE PHOTOinvolve publicly funded researchinstitutions and private sector lifescience companies.Last year, the province issued aspecial call for private sector companiesto partner with public sectorresearchers in projects that wouldspeed the development of wheatvarieties and boost wheat productionin the province.Eight proposals were submitted.At least two have been approved forfunding, although the province hasyet to announce which companieswill be involved and how much publicfunding each project will receive.Private partners must contribute 50percent of total project costs to qualifyfor ADF funding as a public-privatepartnership.It is widely expected that privatepublicresearch partnerships willplay an increasingly important rolein the development and commercializationof new wheat varieties inSaskatchewan.In his address to the SaskatchewanAgriculture Wheat Summit last February,Saskatchewan premier BradWall said ADF funding would be usedto leverage research investmentsfrom private sector companies.“We need to use the latest biotechnologyadvances so plants can makebetter and quicker use of fertilizers,making them less costly to grow andeasier on the environment and, perhapsmost importantly, we need touse this funding to leverage researchinvestments … in wheat improvementfrom private companies,” Wallsaid. “The best way we think toensure investment is to build partnerships,to create a welcomingenvironment for (life science companies)… to continue to invest.”The Saskatchewan governmentalso commissioned a report last yearThe best way we think toensure investment is to buildpartnerships, to create awelcoming environment for(life science companies) … tocontinue to invest.BRAD WALLSASKATCHEWAN PREMIERto assess the benefits of current agriculturalresearch funding programsin the province.KPMG was chosen to prepare thereport at a cost of $171,000.Officials with Saskatchewan Agriculture’sresearch branch said thepurpose of the report was to “determinethe economic benefits to Saskatchewanfrom its investments inthose areas (the SRP and ADF) and toestablish the policy rationale thatwould underpin public sector interventionin support of agriculturalresearch and development.”The province’s current SRP agreements— one with the U of S and onewith the Prairie Agricultural MachineryInstitute — are due to expire at theend of March.Those agreements distribute $3 millionannually in core research fundingamong 14 SRP chairs involved in cropand livestock research at the U of S andPAMI’s Western Beef DevelopmentCentre.Sources in the provincial governmentsaid last week that discussionsregarding the continuation ofSRP funding beyond March 31 areongoing.The KPMG report, which was initiallyscheduled for completion lastfall, has yet to be delivered.WHEAT, BARLEY | LEVIESCreation of wheat, barley commissions on fast trackBY SEAN PRATTSASKATOON NEWSROOMSaskatchewan wheat and barleygrowers could pay additional leviesas early as this summer.Groups attempting to establishcommissions in the province havesubmitted their plans to governmentin hopes of opening offices in Juneand collecting a checkoff by Aug. 1.That is a lot sooner than originallyanticipated. In September, the AgriculturalProducers Association ofSaskatchewan said it could take twoyears to get the commissions up andrunning.The wheat plan proposes a 52 centper tonne refundable levy that willraise $4.5 million annually, while thebarley plan is for a 50 cent refundablelevy that will generate $1 million incheck-off revenue.Plans for the two commissions havebeen submitted to the SaskatchewanAgri-Food Council. Growers haveuntil March 2 to provide commentsCHERILYN NAGELSASKATCHEWANWHEAT DEVELOPMENTCOMMISSIONon the plans.The Agri-Food Council will thenreview the plans and the commentsand make its recommendation to theprovincial agriculture minister, whowill give the respective councils athumbs up or a thumbs down.Cherilyn Nagel, interim chair of theproposed Saskatchewan WheatDevelopment Commission, saidJune is an aggressive timeline for settingup an office, considering the firstmeeting about establishing a wheatcommission was held last June.She encouraged wheat growers toprovide their comments on theestablishment plans.“We’ve spoken to as many differentproducers and producer groupsaround the province as we could andgenerated a lot of letters of supportand this is the opportunity for peopleto make additional comments onwhat they think about this commission.”Nagel said the total levy paid by theprovince’s wheat growers will be $1per tonne when the proposed wheatcommission checkoff is combinedwith the 48 cents collected to fundthe Western Grains Research Foundation,the Canadian InternationalGrains Institute and the CanadianMalting Barley Technical Centre.“Based on some discussions thatwe’ve had with producers, around $1per tonne would be palatable,” shesaid.It’s one-third of the $2.91 per tonnenon-refundable levy that Australianwheat growers pay. The total barleylevy will be $1.06 per tonne.Bill Cooper, interim chair of theproposed Saskatchewan BarleyDevelopment Commission, said 50cents per tonne seemed reasonable.“We wanted it similar to whatAlberta has. We didn’t want to havetoo much differentiation there. It willbe roughly the same,” he said.The wheat committee’s projectedannual revenue figure of $4.5 millionis based on assumptions of an averageof 11.35 million acres of springwheat and durum planted annually,a buyer remittance level of 87.5 percentand a grower refund rate of 7.5percent.“We can really do something with$4.5 million,” said Nagel.General and administrative expensesare projected to consume $540,000annually and another $480,000 will besaved in reserve funding, leavingabout $3.3 million to fund programsand strategic priorities.The barley plan is more conservative.It assumes 2.93 million acres of barleyproduction, a 65 percent remittancelevel and a 10 percent refund rate.“The reason for (the lower remittancelevel) is the big feed market,”Cooper said.“There’s a lot bigger feed marketfor barley than the wheat. A lot ofthat is going to smaller feedlots andwe probably are going to miss a littlemore of it.”As well, a lot of farmer-to-farmersales will fall under the radar.The barley group is concerned thatrefund rates will increase when grainprices fall and farmers decide theywant their check-off dollars back.“I hope that’s not the case, but wedidn’t want to be too overly optimistic,”he said.The end result is an estimated $1million in annual revenue. Generaland administrative expenses areexpected to be $200,000, while$300,000 will be set aside in reserve,resulting in $500,000 to fund annualbarley programs and priorities.Both groups say the money will beused to fund research, promotionand market development and provideleadership in policy developmentand advocacy initiatives.

4 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSFORAGE | GENETICSRoundup Ready alfalfa moves closer to fieldsSeeking registration | Forage Genetics International says it isn’t ready to commercialize the crop just yetBY SEAN PRATTSASKATOON NEWSROOMOpponents of Roundup Readyalfalfa fear the crop will be commercializedin Canada this spring, butthe crop breeder says it’s too early tosay.“We have heard that the industrywants to push ahead this year withRoundup Ready alfalfa,” said LucySharratt, co-ordinator with the CanadianBiotechnology Action Network.Mike Peterson, global traits lead forForage Genetics International, thecompany with the rights to commercializethe controversial crop inCanada, said it’s premature to jumpto that conclusion.“FGI has not made a decision tocommercialize yet,” he said.“We have not announced simplybecause there’s some pieces thataren’t yet in place.”A coexistence plan for RoundupReady alfalfa hay production fordairy producers in Ontario, Quebecand Atlantic Canada is one of the keymissing pieces. The region and sectorwill be Forage Genetics’ initialtarget.The Canadian Seed Trade Association(CSTA) is co-ordinating thedevelopment of that plan. It facilitateda workshop in Kitchener-Waterloo,Ont., last October to discuss aframework for coexistence betweenRoundup Ready alfalfa and nongeneticallymodified varieties inEastern Canada.CSTA chief executive officer PattyTownsend said the draft is completeand will be circulated to participantsof the workshop within the next coupleof weeks.The association will collect commentsand suggestions before postingthe coexistence framework on itswebsite.In the meantime, the group isassembling a group of academics,forage specialists, hay producers andhay users to develop best managementpractices (BMPs) to be incorporatedinto the framework.Once that is done, the completedplan will be widely distributed andposted to the CSTA’s website. ForageGenetics will be encouraged toinclude the BMPs as part of its commercializationplans.The other missing piece is ForageGenetics’ registration of its RoundupReady alfalfa varieties with the CanadianFood Inspection Agency. Thatwon’t happen until the coexistenceplan is complete. The registrationprocess can take weeks or months.Peterson said it’s possible all thiscould come together in time for alimited spring commercial release inEastern Canada, but time is becomingan enemy and the companydoesn’t want to rush the product tomarket.The introduction of RoundupReady alfalfa in the United States wasmet with strong opposition south ofthe border. The crop hit the market in2005 but commercialization wasderailed in 2007 by a legal challengelaunched by the Center for FoodSafety.Sales of the crop resumed in early2011 after the U.S. Department ofAgriculture completed an environmentalimpact statement.Forage Genetics International, the company behind Roundup Ready alfalfa, must assemble a set of best management practices for producersbefore submitting its varieties for approval to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Critics are concerned that the company’s coexistence plan isinefficient and won’t prevent cross-pollination with a conventional alfalfa hay crop. | FILE PHOTOPeterson said the company learnedlessons from the U.S. launch of theproduct.“We really don’t want to piss anybodyoff. We’d rather go at a pace thatgets the least number of stakeholdersupset at the process,” he said.Sharratt said Forage Geneticsdeserves a failing grade for the way itis approaching commercialization inCanada. She claims growers havebeen “left in the dark” about the company’splans.“This is too much uncertainty forfarmers who see a lot at stake with theintroduction of Roundup Readyalfalfa. It’s an intolerable situation forfarmers who feel that they would seetheir business jeopardized or picturereal damage to their sector,” she said.The CSTA did include representativesfrom the organic industry andthe alfalfa seed sector in its Octoberworkshop.Phillip Woodhouse, president ofthe National Farmers Union’s GreyCounty Local 344, attended themeeting.He has a problem with a key elementof the coexistence plan, whichis for farmers to cut their RoundupReady alfalfa hay crop before itreaches the budding stage of developmentto prevent cross-pollination.Woodhouse said the plan is notfoolproof.“We have concerns around that,especially in Ontario because at thebud stage is pretty well the last weekOnce (Roundup Ready alfalfa) isout, you can’t put it back in thecan, especially when it’s openpollinated and can potentiallygrow wild.PHILIP WOODHOUSENATIONAL FARMERS UNIONof May and the weather can be prettytouchy,” said the organic beef andcash crop farmer from Ontario’s BeaverValley area.“You get a week of wet weather andthe alfalfa has already gone to 25 percentbloom.”However, Peterson said there is abig difference between pollen driftand seed production.“It takes basically desert-like conditionsand about 75 days from whenthat pollen is introduced into a plantbefore there’s a viable seed,” he said.A neighbouring conventional ororganic crop would be harvestedbefore that happens.Peterson said a coexistence planwon’t eliminate all cases of contamination,but it will keep them below“the market threshold.”There have been contaminationincidents in the U.S. involving bothalfalfa seed production and alfalfahay exports, but the numbers areextremely low.“It’s really a rounding error to zerowhen you look at the number ofpounds and the number of acres thatare out there.”Roundup Ready varieties comprise20 to 25 percent of total U.S. alfalfaacres.He said the important thing toremember is how the trait developerand crop breeder have respondedwhen there has been an incident.“One hundred percent of the issueshave been satisfactorily resolved veryquickly. It’s an extremely safe technology.”Lisa Mumm of Mumm’s SproutingSeeds, a Saskatchewan grower andsupplier of organic alfalfa seed forsprouts and micro-greens, said thediscussion shouldn’t be about anacceptable level of contamination.“That’s a pretty frightening place tostart any conversation,” she said.Mumm said FGI’s proposed isolationdistances are based on flawedobservations about how plentifulleaf cutter bees are in fields and howfar they travel.She said preliminary findings of aUSDA study on feral alfalfa foundvolunteer Roundup Ready alfalfagrowing in ditches in 15 percent ofthe sites used in the study.Most of it was found near RoundupReady seed production areas, butsome was located elsewhere, suggestingthat hay crops can be a sourceof the contamination.Peterson said there are no immediateplans to commercialize the cropin Western Canada.“That’s down the road a ways,” hesaid.“When you go west in WesternCanada, there is a significant numberof coexistence concerns becausethere’s alfalfa seed production outthere.”Launching the product in WesternCanada would require a more extensivecoexistence plan, such as whatexists in the U.S., where one county ina state will be designated for RoundupReady alfalfa seed production anda neighbouring county for conventionalalfalfa seed production.Woodhouse doesn’t believe theisolation distances proposed in theCanadian hay coexistence plan willprotect the western Canadian alfalfaseed production industry.“Once (Roundup Ready alfalfa) isout, you can’t put it back in the can,especially when it’s open pollinatedand can potentially grow wild.”The seed industry ships a lot of itsproduct to the European Union, andWoodhouse has witnessed whathappens when one GM flax seed isfound in a sample of 10,000 seeds.The Triffid contamination incidentdestroyed the EU market for Canadianflax.“(Forage Genetics) is not planningon releasing it in Western Canada,but there is no border checkpointbetween Manitoba and Ontario,”said Woodhouse.

At one time it was run bythe federal government but was thentaken over by the CWB.The board nurtured it for years,building it into a conference thatdrew hundreds of analysts, grainmerchants and crop users from Canada,the United States and the rest ofthe world, as well as drawing farmersfrom across the Prairies.It was always far more than a CWBgrains conference, with non-CWBcrops and livestock given time at thepodium. However, CWB grains werealways the focus, with the conferencehighlight always being the release ofthe coming year’s first Pool ReturnOutlook.However, Grain World’s futurebecame unclear when the federalgovernment broke the CWB monopolyand the organization started itsmassive downsizing, which is whenDuvenaud took it over.Last year’s conference seemed atrip to Bizarro Grain World, with acouple of triumphant celebrationsabout the end of the CWB monopolyand a celebratory address by agricultureminister Gerry Ritz.This year, the post-CWB situation isold news and the conference hasmoved on.Few would disagree that puttingcanola at the top of the agenda reflectsmost farmers’ ranking of thecrop in terms of long-term profitability,while downgrading oats to specialcrop status also reveals a slippingof that crop.One of the most stark differences ofthis conference from just a few yearsago is its underlying theme, whichDuvenaud describes as: “How longcan the good times last?”Before 2007, the notion that theprairie farm economy is experiencinggood times would have seemedabsurd to many in the agriculturalindustry, which had suffered years offinancial failures.But now, half a decade into a lastingcrop bull market, few would challengethat the good times are here,and that the main concern of many isto figure out how long they are goingto last.FAMILY | FARM MANAGEMENTYoung Alberta farmers happy with career choiceBY MARY MACARTHURCAMROSE BUREAUFarming may have changed dramaticallyover the past generation,but the passion for agriculture hasn’tchanged, said a panel of youngfarmers.There was never a time when JeffNonay, a Legal, Alta., dairy farmer,considered any other career.“I could never ever remember notwanting to be a farmer,” Nonay toldan Ag Choices conference in Camrose.Nonay said he was still youngwhen he approached his familywanting to do more than work forwages.“I wanted some skin in the game.”Robert Semeniuk of Smoky Lakesaid he went straight from high schoolto the farm and has never doubted hisdecision.Farming from a young age hasn’tbeen easy, but he has learned goodcommunication is key.Semeniuk knew early in 2002 thedrought would take a toll on their cropand finances. Instead of hoping for amiracle, Semeniuk went to the bank inJune, pointing out expected problems.His proactive approach helped himwork his way through the problemand keep him on good terms.“They could see we had a plan,” hesaid.Good communication was also keyto keeping the lines of communicationopen when Leona Dargis’ parents werekilled in an airplane crash leaving fivedaughters to take over the farm.“Without a strong attitude thingscould have gone sideways,” she saidof their farm in St. Vincent, in northeastAlberta.“It all starts with conversation.”It’s an annual rite of winter for criticsof Canada’s dairy supply managementsystem.Government support prices forbutter and skim milk powderincrease and send a signal to the restof the dairy chain to increase prices.On Feb. 14, the Canadian DairyCommission announced that supportprices will increase slightlyeffective April 1, mainly because ofthe cost of cattle feed based on soaringgrain prices. It will mean a 0.9percent increase in prices that farmersreceive for the industrial milkused to create dairy products.It is the lowest increase in 15 years.CDC chair Randy Williamson, aformer processor, said in a statementannouncing the increase that itreflects growing dairy producercosts.“The change in support pricereflects the increase in the cost ofinputs, especially the cost of feed,” hesaid.“However, it remains considerablylower than the rate of inflation forfood, which currently stands at 2.4percent.”The Canadian Restaurant andFoodservices Association, one of theprimary critics of the relentlessincrease in dairy prices, acknowledgedthat the increase is smallerthan usual.Still, CRFA president Garth Whyteestimated the increase will cost restaurants$23 million per year.He said an increase of any size isunjustified in fragile economic times.The association is particularly criticalof increases in the price of cheeseused to make restaurant and fast foodproducts, and White said the CDCshould create a special class of pricingfor cheese destined for restaurant use.He said restaurants have to competewith frozen pizza products thatreceive a 30 percent benefit on thecost of cheese.“CFRA will keep pushing for lowerdairy prices and a special class ofpricing that makes cheese moreaffordable for restaurateurs,” he saidin a statement.Critics also complain that the dairycommission is biased toward theproducer sector. At present, two ofthe three commissioners are producers,including chief executive officerJacques Laforge, a former presidentof Dairy Farmers of Canada.The CDC says its annual pricingdecisions are based on cost-of-productionsurveys, processor margins,industry arguments, inflation ratesand the commissioners’ “own judgment,experience and knowledge ofthe industry.”The support price establishes whatthe commission will pay to removeexcess butter and skim milk powderfrom the market to stabilize prices.Table milk prices are establishedprovincially, but the federal supportprices influences the industry pricestructure.

The underperformingeconomy also hurts.Unemployment remains at morethan eight percent and blue collarworkers have less disposable incomefor high priced groceries.Beef might be passed over at thegrocery store in this economic climatebecause retail prices haveincreased 24 percent since 2007 andcould increase again in 2013.Pork is up 21 percent for the sameperiod and chicken is up 14 percent.“Maybe the consumer is holdingonto his wallet a little bit tighter thanwe would like to see,” Good said.High calf prices are normally anincentive to expand, but that is nothappening because of high costs.Corn and gasoline prices haveincreased 300 percent since 2005.Having access to these exportmarkets is key to the long termgrowth of our industry.RANDY BLACHMARKET ANALYSTThat is good news for corn growers,who are expected to plant 98 millionacres this year, about a million morethan last year.The success of the crop is weatherdependent. If the drought continues,spot corn prices between now andJune could reach $7.68-$7.75 perbushel and settle around $6.85 to $7per bu.However, prices could fall to $4 perbu. in the new crop year if moisturereturns.Expensive corn is bad news for astressed feeding sector that is alreadydealing with 25 to 30 percent morebunk space than necessary.There is also too much space inprocessing facilities. Processors have12 percent excess packing capacityfor finished beef and 23 percentexcess space in cow plants.Blach said Cargill closed a plant inTexas earlier this year because of thelack of cattle and elusive profits.“You need to be prepared that wewill see more plants that will beforced to close in the next coupleyears,” he said.These plants handled 30 millionfed animals in 2000, but that has fallento 25 million head in the last fewyears because not enough cattle areavailable.Calves start losing money on thefinishing side from the day they arepurchased and placed on feed.Losses were $145 head in 2008,assuming no risk management wasused, and $100 per head in 2012.Some profits were achieved in 2009and 2010.“The people downstream fromyour product have to make money oreventually they will have to sayuncle,” said Blach.“If we don’t start to see the feedingindustry get more profitable by thesecond half of the year, we may bedisappointed in where these feedercattle prices actually are. You’ve gotto have some profitability in the systemthat has been pretty scarce forthe last several months.”Increased exports may create someoutlets for stressed beef producers.Global meat per capita consumptionin 1990 was 58 pounds and roseto 75 lb. in 2012.The growth creates trade opportunities.The U.S. is the top meat exporterwith a market share of 27 percent,and last year it exported 16 billion lb.of pork, poultry and beef.Brazil is next at 22 percent, theEuropean Union is 15 percent andCanada has seven percent.The value of beef and byproductexports contribute $277 per head tothe value of every fed steer and heifersold.“It is a big deal and it is going to continueto grow,” Blach said.“Having access to these export marketsis key to the long-term growth ofour industry.”He said 30 percent of U.S. pork andpoultry will be exported within 10years and about 20 percent of beefproduction will be sold offshore.U.S. pulse growers hope a new revenuebased crop insurance programwill help fight off the relentless competitionfrom corn and soybeans.After 13 years of lobbying, the sectorhas finally achieved crop insuranceparity with cereals and oilseeds.A four-year pilot program startingMarch 1 will provide pulse growerswith a revenue option for their cropsin key pulse producing states.The program will be launched forpeas, lentils and chickpeas in NorthDakota, Montana, Washington andIdaho.It will also be available for pinto,black, great northern and red kidneybeans in North Dakota andMinnesota.It will be available only in countieswithin those states that have a historyof producing those crops and covermost of the states’ major productionareas.Tim McGreevy, chief executiveofficer of the USA Dry Pea and LentilCouncil, said it will be nice for pulsegrowers to have both a yield and arevenue insurance option for theircrops.“Given the volatility of markets thatwe’ve seen in the past five or six years,there has been a move in the U.S.towards revenue type insurance tocover the price risk that producershave faced here in the past severalmarketing years,” he said.McGreevy said revenue insurancelevels the playing field with cropssuch as corn, soybeans, wheat andbarley.Dick Wittman, past chair of thecouncil, said the previous crop insuranceprogram left a lot to be desired.“A common comment from growerswas, ‘why buy the coverage?When you get to a loss claim situation,the fine print figures out a way tonever pay,’ ” he said in a news release.“Finally, we have a risk managementtool that puts us on a more levelplaying field with traditional grainproducers.”Pulse crops have been losingground to corn and soybeans, especiallyin North Dakota.Growers planted 8.4 million acresof corn and soybeans in the state lastyear, up two million acres from fiveyears ago.They seeded 1.1 million acres ofbeans, peas and lentils, down180,000 acres from five years ago.McGreevy doesn’t think a pulseAG EXPOPresented by Farm Credit CanadaNorth AmericanSeed FairPresented by Fortis AlbertaFeb. 27 - Mar. 1 9 to 5 pm dailyLethbridge, Albertawww.exhibitionpark.caTel. 403 – 328 – 4491It just (allows pulses) tocompete with the other cropsthat already have it.TIM MCGREEVYUSA DRY PEA AND LENTIL COUNCILcrop revenue insurance program willincrease pea, lentil, chickpea andbean acres, but it could help preventfurther erosion of pulse acres.“Will it have a big impact on acreagein these areas?

In total, 162,205 tonnesentered the country, which was 13percent more than 2011.Shipments of American beef toMexico were still high but declined16 percent. Mexico bought 175,540tonnes worth $761 million.The country was once the U.S.’s biggesttrading partner and used a lot ofround cuts.When the U.S. wanted more groundbeef, less was available to Mexico.According to the January-Novemberstatistics, the U.S. exported $5billion worth of beef in 2012, whichwas two percent more than the sameperiod in 2011.All this success has occurred at atime when the U.S. beef supply wasshrinking to record low levels. Othercountries such as Brazil and Argentinamay take up the slack.“Global demand for exports is continuingto grow regardless of whereproduction is going,” Greg Hanes ofthe federation said during an exportcommittee meeting at the NationalCattlemen’s Beef Association conventionheld in Tampa Feb. 5-9.Outside of North America, the U.S.’sgreatest export expectations are eastwardwith a new agreement fromJapan that allows beef from cattleyounger than 30 months.Japan paid $969 million for 143,900tonnes last year, a 24 percent improvementover 2011. The mostrecent agreement could allow another120 million pounds in the countryworth $600 million.Russia, South Korea and China arealso favoured for growth, but thereare frustrations.Russia was a growing market withpromises of increased quota until itdecided to take a hard line on ractopamineresidues. Shipments haveslowed severely since early December,although many trade analysts atthe convention said the ban wasretaliation against U.S. policies thataffected Russia.Taiwan had a similar ban that endedlast year. Beef is now returning butat a lower rate.Taiwan bought 31,600 tonnes ofbeef from the U.S. between Januaryand November 2011, which droppedto 16,426 tonnes worth $106 millionfor the same period in 2012.China is importing more beef fromother countries, but the U.S. continuesto negotiate. China promised fiveyears ago to offer access to beef fromcattle younger than 30 months.Phil Seng, head of the meat exportfederation, attributed part of the delayto U.S. reluctance to accept cookedpoultry from China on the grounds offood safety concerns. In return, theChinese have issued 22 requirementsthat include traceability.“By not being in the market, we aremissing one of the largest opportunitiesthis industry has before it,”Seng said.“The U.S. is still trying to figure outhow to work with China.… I don’tknow what it is going to take to get itdone. It is going to take a lot ofresolve, but I do know with the Chineseyou have to figure out how youwill negotiate.”The Middle East is another opportunity.The region is accepting mostlyliver and variety meats, but moremuscle cuts are also going there as itbuilds a western style menu for thetourist trade.The ongoing unrest in the MiddleEast has not stopped trade.“Protesters still need to eat, so thereis a river of liver still going to Egypt,”said Steve Isaf, chair of the meatexport federation.COMMODITIES | MARKETSAustralian canola surprisesBY D’ARCE MCMILLANSASKATOON NEWSROOM& REUTERS NEWS SERVICECanola values remain well supportedby the need to ration tightdomestic stocks.Oilseeds futures are generally offthe 2013 highs set in early Februarybecause of the expectation of recordsoybean crops in South America.Soybeans dominate the big picturefor oilseeds, but there are also developmentsin canola that have a minorimpact on prices and trade.The Australian Bureau of Agricultureand Resource Economics andSciences last week increased its forecastof the 2012-13 canola crop by 17percent on better-than-expectedyields and a larger planted area.It pegged production at 3.089 milliontonnes, up from a Decemberestimate of 2.636 million.“We always know canola acreagewas very strong, and we had beenhearing anecdotal reports of better-than-expectedyields,” saidLuke Mathews, commodities strategistat the Commonwealth Bank ofAustralia.More canola was planted in NewSouth Wales and Western Australiathan was expected, while favourableweather across Australia’s westcoast boosted yields, ABARES said.In Western Europe, heavy rain andsaturated soil are threatening toreduce wheat and rapeseed production,with the most serious problemsin Britain, crop analysts said.The outlook in top producer Franceis also deteriorating.“There are an awful lot of crops outthere that are still under water, lots ofpatches of waterlogging and lots ofvery slow growing crops,” analystSusan Twining of crop consultantsADAS said, referring to conditions inBritain.Canola is seen as most at risk oflosses after crops endured both dryseeding conditions in late summerand damp growing weather inautumn and winter.“At the moment, the main cause ofconcern is rapeseed plants that are inwaterlogged fields and which are sufferingfrom root asphyxiation,”French oilseed institute Cetiom saidin a note for clients.In Germany the outlook is morepromising. Farmers increased thewinter rapeseed sown area by 10 percenton the year to 3.5 million acres.In Ukraine, which is the third largestexporter after Canada and Australia,the crop should rebound from lastyear’s five-year low.Analyst Oil World said 94 percent ofthe crop was in good or satisfactorycondition at the end of January, upfrom 66 percent last year.The snow has mostly melted inUkraine, and there is the potential fordamage if cold weather returns.Ukraine produced 1.2 milliontonnes last year, down from 1.44 millionin the previous year, according tothe USDA.Oil World thinks the crop waslarger, at 1.3 million tonnes.CWB | FINAL PAYMENTSCWB releases final paymentsSASKATOON STAFFThe CWB announced final paymentsfor 2011-12 crops.No. 1 CW red spring wheat 12.5 percentprotein has a final payment of$13.79 to make the total payment$290.49 per tonne at port.No. 1 CW amber durum 12.5 percentprotein receives a final paymentof $14.54 to make a total payment of$345.24.The final payment for Select two-rowbarley is $16.34 for a total of $312.94.Direct deposits will be made onFeb. 26.

The first of three goalsitemized on the panel’s governmentissuedlist is to examine all factors contributingto the E. coli outbreak at the XLplant in Brooks, Alta., including inspectionpolicies, protocols and informationexchange.That’s the crux of the matter.The other two goals are designed toexamine the CFIA’s ability to detect E. colicontamination and mount an effectiveresponse.The panel should consider all of this “inconjunction with the response of its foodsafety system partners, including XLFoods Inc. and foreign regulators, to theE. coli outbreak, including but not limitedto the effectiveness of their prevention,detection, recall response, incident managementand investigative activities, aswell as their collaboration and communicationwith one another, the public andstakeholders for the purpose of ensuringconsumer safety.”Whew.If successful in its quest for this information,the panel may be able to answermost of the questions surrounding therecall.There is a tendency in today’s world toaffix blame when things go wrong, as theydid indeed at XL Foods.Many in the cattle and beef industry,who still feel the effects from the BSE crisisas they watch domestic beef consumptiondecline, feel that desire mostacutely.“It is curious how E. coli in lettuce isbarely a blip on the radar and nearly all ofthe other E. coli disasters never requiredthe industry involved to be run over by abus,” says the Western Stock GrowersAssociation.“This leads (us) to wonder whobears responsibility and who shouldbe held accountable. Whether it iscalled an inquiry or investigation orsomething else, we need to arrive atthe truth.”Once arrived, that truth must be used toensure food safety protocols are as strongas we can make them.However, it’s also important for all ofus to realize that complete food safetyisn’t achievable given the adaptabilityof bacteria and the numerous points inthe food chain when safety can be compromised.Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritzhas asked the panel to make recommendationsfor improvement, “within theexisting resources of the CFIA.”Let us hope those existing resourceshave enough depth to address the problemssurrounding the beef recall, andalso that the sun shines on all players inthe scenario whose actions contributedto the problem.Bruce Dyck, Terry Fries, Barb Glen, D’Arce McMillanand Joanne Paulson collaborate in the writing ofWestern Producer editorials.CRAIG’S VIEWSENATE | SPENDINGSHRINKING CFA | TRADE ISSUESSplintering farm voice a slow-motion, decades-long process of divisionNATIONAL VIEWBARRY WILSONThe Canadian Pork Council’sdecision to pull out of theCanadian Federation of Agricultureis just the latest dramaticmoment in a long-running saga.Observing the splintering of theCanadian farm lobby voice over thepast four decades has been likewatching a slow-motion multiplevehicle pile-up on Alberta’s Highway2 or Ontario’s six-lane 401.There are of course reasons forhighway wrecks, just as there are reasonsfor the fractionalization ofCanadian farmers.Large agribusiness farmers checkingthe web for prices and tradeopportunities in Asia have little incommon with small farmers trying tocash in on the local food movement,other than that they both produceprotein for sale.That gap is particularly true ontrade issues where trade-sensitivesectors and gung-ho exporters simplydon’t share the same goals orbusiness models.It is a reality that Canadian governmentshave had to face for decades asthey created a “balanced position” thatsupports both domestic protectionismand aggressive export expansion.As he spoke last week about thepork council decision to pull out ofthe CFA, which has its own version ofthe “balanced position,” former CPCpresident Jurgen Preugschas saidpublicly what many skeptics havesaid quietly for years.“You can’t have a balanced tradepolicy, there’s no such thing,” he said.“You’re in favour of trade or you’renot and you can’t be both.”Defenders of the “balanced position”correctly argue that most countriesin trade negotiations have“offensive” and “defensive” issues asCanada does, but that doesn’t squarethe logic circle.Once upon a time, the CFA imagineditself the unified voice of Canadianagriculture.Back in the days of long-servingpresident Herb Hannam in the1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, thedream was that in the face of powerfuland concentrated corporate players,farmers needed a concentratedcounteracting voice to governmentand industry.The wheels began to fall off thatdream in the 1970s when prairiecommodity groups began to challengethe hegemony of the big playersof the day: the wheat pools, provincialumbrella organizations andthe CFA.Governments were happy to havemultiple farm messages from whichto pick and choose.A turning point was the 1993 GeneralAgreement on Tariffs and Tradedeal, which protected Canadian supplymanagement but gave exporterslittle new access.Export interests thought too muchattention was paid to protecting supplymanagement and too little to theexport needs of the majority. The resultwas more aggressive lobbying byexport sectors and the founding of theCanadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance.Prairie general farm organizationsblew up in the early 1980s over theCrowsnest Pass freight rate issue, andthe CFA lost three strong regionalmembers, later replaced by organizationsthat have sometimes struggled.Then the prairie wheat pools,strong members and significantfinancial backers, disappeared. CWBbriefly followed as a member, but ittoo is gone from the CFA.The dream of a “house of agriculture”recedes. The volume of exportvoices grows.The agricultural Tower of Babelbecomes noisier.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 11& OPEN FORUMINVESTMENT COMPANIES | FARMLANDAre our pensions retiring the family farm?BY MATT GEHLPension funds have started buyingup farmland around theworld in recent years, seeing itas a safe, long-term investment.Farmland investment companiessuch as AgCapita, Assiniboia Capital,Bonnefield Financial and PrairieMerchants are sowing the seeds ofspeculation across the Prairies.Saskatchewan, with our low landprices and a farming populationaveraging 58 years old, is shaping upto be fertile ground for these companies.Hundreds of thousands of acres ofSaskatchewan farmland are alreadyunder the management of theseinvestment companies.Several seek to attract institutionalinvestors such as pension funds andRRSP-eligible mutual funds tofinance further land purchases.AgCapita, which as of 2011 hadbought $12.8 million of Saskatchewanfarmland, is RRSP eligible.Two RRSP mutual funds, GoldenOpportunities and SaskWorks, haveinvested in farmland investmentfunds.SaskWorks has invested $20 millionwith Agco Ag Ventures, andGolden Opportunities has funneled$3.5 million into Assiniboia Capital(via ADC Enterprises) as well asanother $2.5 million into InputCapital Limited Partnerships, a divisionof Assiniboia.Some of the financing forAssiniboia Capital’s acquisition ofmore than 115,000 acres across Canadahas been provided by FarmCredit Canada, which is funded byOttawa and pays dividends to thefederal government.Pensions invested in land are good for retiring farmers as land pricesrise but create hardships for farmers wanting to expand. | FILE PHOTORetiring farmers, and those sufferingunder the high debt levels seeminglyinherent to modern farming,are targeted by these companies.They rent the land back to farmerswhile waiting for the selling price torise to sufficiently profitable levels.Usually this is done on a cash rentbasis, where all of the day-to-day riskof farming is borne solely by the rentingfarmer.This situation has similarities tothat in Europe of the 19th century,which is what led many Europeans touproot their families and escape tosettle in Canada.Retiring farmers are faced with achoice: pass their land onto anotherfamily farmer, possibly taking lessthan the maximum value, or sell tothe highest bidder with no concernfor the legacy of the land.Under this new system, retiringfarmers should be happy in theirtwilight years, urban residents withpensions invested in farmland willbe happy with the long-term outlookof their retirement money and theland grabbing companies will happilytake their cut as land values andrents keep rising.But how do we expect young Canadiansto consider becoming farmers?The reality is that today there are notenough young farmers. Farmersyounger than 35 represent only eightpercent of the farming population,raising the question of who will workthe land in the future? Who will growour food?This is where the long-term visionof retirement planning seems to havea blind spot. Speculation aroundfarmland is already putting the costof land out of reach for many individualfarmers looking to either startor expand an operation, leavinginvestment companies with millionsof dollars in capital in an even betterposition to increase their land holdings.If more of them are able to generateinvestment dollars through RRSPs, itwill further this cycle.Policies and tax breaks that encourageCanadians to plan responsiblyfor their retirements are essential,but there is a clear lack of planningfor the next generation of farmers.Family farms have been the backboneof Canadian agriculture for ourentire history and now they are beingpriced out of the market for the mostessential of assets: the land.Without a plan and policies inplace to ensure that the next generationof Canadians can carry on ourproud farming tradition, the onlyfuture in store for Canadian agricultureis one occupied only by the largest,most corporate farms sparselyscattered over an increasingly emptyprairie.This is not a future that bodes wellfor Canadian food security and sovereignty,and it certainly does notlook promising for family farms.That is not a future I want to see inCanada.Matt Gehl, 28, is a National FarmersUnion board member who farmsgrain with his family near Regina.This op ed has been edited for length.CROP INSURANCE | PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTSSask. Crop Insurance could learn from AlbertaHURSH ON AGKEVIN HURSHCrop insurance is a great programand it doesn’t get thepraise it deserves. However, itcould be even better with relativelyminor adjustments. Saskatchewanshould take a look at what Albertaoffers.The federal and Saskatchewan governmentscan rightly claim credit fora number of program enhancementsthis year.Yield trending has improved thecoverage levels for hard red and hardwhite spring wheat, along with oats.As well, more Saskatchewan producersare eligible to insure soybeans,and the establishment benefits forcanola and field peas have beenincreased.However, the main improvementcomes from higher grain prices ratherthan any government decision.The average coverage level is a recordhigh $194 per acre, up from $174 lastyear and more than double the coverageoffered in 2007.In 2012, the insured price for canolawas $11.11 a bushel. This year it willbe $12.36. Hard red spring wheat was$5.14 a bu. last year and is now $6.80.Peas have gone from $6.93 to $7.43.A few crops are going the otherdirection. Large green lentils aredropping from 22 cents a pounddown to 20 cents. The biggest drop ison chickpeas with the large kabulitype falling from 38.5 cents a lb. to 29cents.Overall though, the price outlookwas higher for most crops in December2012 than in December 2011.That’s why overall crop insurancecoverage has jumped.To its credit, Saskatchewan CropInsurance has a contract priceoption. If you lock in a favourableprice on part of the crop you hope togrow, that contract price can be usedto increase your insured price.Conversely, the variable priceoption being offered has little attraction.A July price forecast is usedwith the variable price option, soyou get to insure at a price closer toharvest time values. The problemcomes from how premiums arehandled.At one time, the premium went upor down corresponding to whetherthe variable price ended up higher orlower. Now, producers choosing thevariable price option pay a higherpremium up front, but their coveragemight go up or down depending onwhat happens with the price of thecrop.Who wants to pay a higher premiumwhen you could end up withcoverage dropping by as much as 50percent?Alberta has this figured out. It offersa variable price benefit on most cropsat no additional cost. If the price inthe fall is higher than the spring price,producers receive the higher coverageautomatically. And Alberta usesan October price, making it morerelevant than the July price used inSaskatchewan.Alberta has also been offering aprogram that it funds jointly withproducers without any federal support.Called the spring price endorsement,it is price insurance rather thanproduction insurance. Enrolled producersget a payment If the Octoberprice is more than 10 percent lowerthan the spring price.If a producer has a 40 bu. per acreaverage yield on barley and chooses80 percent yield coverage, the cropinsurance yield guarantee is 32 bu.an acre.Let’s say the producer grows morethan 40 bu. per acre, but the price ofbarley drops from $4.35 a bu. in thespring to $3.75 in the fall. The produceris paid the 60 cents differenceon 32 bu. per acre.Only in Alberta. Pity.Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist,consultant and farmer.

You haveyour second house of non-electedfolks, who don’t have to worry aboutpleasing voters, to keep an eye onthe elected folks. Then, for goodmeasure, you have your representativeof the head of state, the governorgeneral.When I got a bit less starry eyedabout the whole democracy thing, Irealized that the GG , from a keepingCanada intact standpoint, was prettyuseless. It’s a nice figurehead, but aGG would really have to step out ofhis or her zone to make any politicaldifference in this country.Oh well, I thought. At least we stillhave senators to keep an eye on thoseMPs. Good thing they’re not elected,or everyone running this countrywould be luring the populace withpromises.Lately, though, I’ve been a littleannoyed with some of those senators,who clearly feel the world owesthem a living.Patrick Brazeau would be the No. 1annoyance. He has been chargedwith assault and sexual assault. Thisis the sort of person we want in thered chamber?At least the Senate has booted himfor the time being, but he’s still makinghis 130 grand.Granted, one is innocent untilproven guilty, and we must wait forthe legal system to work, but I justdon’t know about paying someonenot to show up for work.Then there are the other senatorswho may, or may not, live in theregions they represent. Mike Duffymay or may not live in Prince EdwardIsland, for example, and is beingaudited for claiming special expensesfor a second residence.Of greatest interest to the West isPamela Wallin, famously fromWadena, Sask., whose expenses arealso now being checked by an outsideauditing firm.Do we care where senators live? Ithink we should, for if they do notvisit us from time to time, how wouldthey know what we, the people intheir regions, need? And if that’s notimportant, why are senatorsappointed from the various regionsof Canada in the first place?The big downside to all thesealleged shenanigans among senators?You can’t vote them out whenthey really make you cranky.

Ithought one was classy and the otherclassless. One brought tears to myeyes; the other just made me smirk.When thinking of my grandchildren,one gave me a sense of pride;the other made me feel sheepish.Of course, the ultimate test of an adis whether or not it sells the productit is extolling. I may not be typical ofthe average farmer, but I can tell youthat today, I am far more inclined tobuy a Dodge truck than I am to sign aCanadian Wheat Board contract.Terry James,Vegreville, Alta.OAT MARKETING FREEDOMTo the Editor:On Feb. 14, 2010 — Valentine’s Day— I sold a tandem load of oats for$3.50 per bushel. I loaded a secondload of oats to take to town the verynext day and guess what?The price of oats dropped 10 percent.This amounted to a loss of$178.50 on the load.I have monitored the price of oatssince that time and have seen oats hit$3.50 a bu. only a few times, but I haveoften seen it go lower than $2 per bu.This is the “marketing freedom” Ihave with oats.I predict that with the “marketingfreedom” that (federal agricultureminister) Gerry Ritz has given wheatand barley farmers now, they will bebig financial losers within threeyears. But there are some winnersalready besides the private trade thatskimmed that money off my oat crop.Minister Ritz has given $300,000 oftaxpayers’ money to the “oat growersassociation” to find new markets.Didn’t he say the farmers’ responsibilityends when the grain hits theelevator’s pit?So why should taxpayers’ money begiven to some handpicked group of“marketing freedom” oats growers?Isn’t it the responsibility of oats buyersto find their own oats markets andnot the taxpayers? Doesn’t ministerRitz believe in the market?If oats were still under the CWB’ssingle desk, oats marketing researchand promotion could be done forpennies per bushel and farmerswould be in control.Previously, with the combined basketof crops, the single desk CWBcould gain efficiencies in marketingmultiple crops.Now that Ritz has killed the CWB’ssingle desk, no grain company willspend any money on market developmentwhen they can just flip thecrop after taking it from farmers.Instead,Ritz has to give taxpayers’monies to his loyal farm groups tosupposedly carry this work out.Mr. Ritz and his federal governmenthave made a financial mess out ofgrain marketing and have taken awayfarmer control, which will take yearsfor another government to straightenout.Edward Sagan,Melville, Sask.HANDS OFF HYDROTo the Editor:We understandyour business1-800-387-3232www.fcc.ca/advancing01/13-19769-04_rWhen I was a young man, I wasinvolved in a 4-H program, and livedby the organization’s motto, “Learnto Do by Doing.”What I learned from that experienceis that people make a difference.I grew up in a rural community whereour school was a community school.It was actually built by the parents ofthe children that attended thatschool.I coached and volunteered, just asmy parents had done, because I knewthat people make a difference in thelives of others. As an elected official,I’ve learned that people mattergreatly when it comes to developingpolicy that makes sense.The NDP doesn’t understand that.They are directing Manitoba Hydroto plow ahead with a $21 billionmegaproject plan gamble to buildtwo new hydro dams and a hydrotransmission line without giving thepeople of Manitoba a say in how thatproject should be structured, or if theproject is needed at all.Instead of being open, transparentand including Manitobans in thedecision process, the NDP hides factsand makes it as difficult as possiblefor Manitobans to understand theproject.Take for instance the review processesfor these projects. Accordingto Manitoba’s sustainable developmentprinciples, economic and environmentaldecision-making shouldbe integrated to create a clear pictureof whether the project makes senseor not. The Wuskwatim dam wasreviewed this way and the processworked well.For the megaproject, however, theNDP created four different reviewcommissions to study individualpieces of the project. These commissionscomplained they can’t do acomplete job without more informationand a better review process thanthe one dictated by the NDP. TheNDP refused to provide it.Many Manitoba Hydro officials and

OPINION THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 13experts, both present and past, saythat the NDP’s approach doesn’tmake sense…. According to theexperts, Manitoba will not need newpower generation for a decade.The NDP are directing ManitobaHydro to spend $21 billion on theKeeyask and Conawapa dams andBiPole 3 hydro line on the gamble ofselling profitable power into foreignmarkets. The effect of this megaprojectgamble will be to triple yourManitoba Hydro debt and have yourhydro rates double if the NDP’s gambleon export sales pays off….In the end, the NDP won’t have topay up if their gamble doesn’t work:the people of Manitoba and theirchildren will be forced to pay. Theprice will be higher hydro bills andincreased taxes to cover hydro’s debt.That’s why it’s so important Manitobansdemand a complete review ofthe megaproject plan by experts andnot NDP cabinet ministers….Brian Pallister,Leader of the Official OppositionMLA for Fort Whyte, Man.WHY GO BACKWARD?To the Editor:“The whole history of the progressof human liberty shows that all theconcessions yet made to her augustclaims have been born of earneststruggle,” Frederick Douglass said.“If there is no struggle, there is noprogress. Those who profess tofavour freedom and yet deprecateagitation are men who want cropswithout plowing up the ground. Theywant rain without thunder and lightning.They want the ocean withoutthe awful roar of its many waters. Thestruggle may be a moral one, or it maybe a physical one, or it may be bothmoral and physical, but it must be astruggle. Power concedes nothingwithout a demand. It never did and itnever will. Find out just what anypeople will submit to and you havefound out the exact measure of injusticeand wrong that will be imposedon them, and these will continue tillthey are resisted with either words orblows, or with both. The limits oftyrants are prescribed by the enduranceof those they oppress.”These words are certainly relevantto what is currently happening in ourcountry under the regressive (primeminister Stephen) Harper regime.Name just about any realm of hardwonpublic gain and you will findHarper actively working to bring usback to the good old days of rule bythe oligarchy, where most citizensare nothing more than cheap disposablelabour.Health care, corporate domination,environment, labour, democracyitself — all going backward under theRegressive Conservatives.Too many Canadians are quietlysubmitting, their senses dulled byeasy credit, ever present advertisingand corporate media propaganda.Submitting is a very dangerouscourse. Resist.Mike Bray,Indian Head, Sask.LACK OF RESPECTTo the Editor:The CWB was a self-sufficient organizationthat pooled and marketedprairie farmers’ grain, run for themost part by the farmers. It was anon-profit organization, where allthe profits were returned to thefarmer once all the deals were done.The government’s idea of the CWBis something of value. They are invitinggrain companies and foreigninvestors to “have a piece of the prairiegrain business.”Again, this government is showinga total lack of respect to the grain producer.For someone to get a piece ofthe prairie grain business, someonehas to give up a piece.This is not good for the producers orthe country. This will put our foodproduction, and the managementthereof, into corporation or foreignownership, or both.Cream skimmed off the top willnever end up in the local rural economy.Everybody loses and will haveless. Why do corporations and foreigninvestors invest in organizations thatare privatizing?

14 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSSHIPPING | LEGISLATIONHearings start on rail service billImproving service | Opposition MPs argue bill should be harder on railwaysBY BARRY WILSONOTTAWA BUREAUFederal transport minister DenisLebel launched Parliament Hillhearings on rail service legislationlast week by arguing the bill is a milestonefor the shipping industry andshould receive quick approval.Opposition MPs are insistingthat shippers who want to speak atthe committee should have a fullhearing, but transport committeechair Larry Miller said he hopeswitness hearings can be wrappedup by March 7 after just two weeksof process.“Things can come up, but I hope wecan finish up when we meet March 7,”he said.If that schedule works, Bill C-52could be back in the House of Commonsfor final debate by late Marchand through the Senate and into lawby summer.Opposition MPs, who say theyagree with the principle of the legislationand agreed unanimously tosend it to committee, may try toextend hearing time, creating potentialpolitical partisan struggles at thecommittee.Lebel defended Bill C-52 as a way toput shippers in “the driver’s seat” inrelations with railways, all the whileinsisting that it is balanced legislationthat does not take sides.“This legislation will help ensurethat railways and shippers worktogether to accomplish a shared goalto improve rail freight service inCanada,” Lebel told the House ofCommons transport committee Feb.12.Opposition MPs argued that the billis not tough enough on the railways.Several Conservative MPs suggestedit is too one-sided in favour ofshippers.The transport minister said theproposed regime of arbitrated serviceagreements and fines of up to$100,000 if railways do not live up tothe agreements is aimed at convincingrailways that working with shippersis the best business plan.“The intent is to create the conditionsthat will allow for successfulcommercial negotiations that(would) normally be possible in afree market,” he said.“Ideally, the legislation will neverhave to be used.”However, it will be there as a backstopif shippers find carriers unreasonable,he added.“The shipper will be in the driver’sseat,” said Lebel.“He gets to trigger arbitration, identifythe type of service desired andframe the issues to be addressed infront of the arbitrator.”Shippers, including agriculturalproducers and companies, will beable to appeal to the CanadianTransportation Agency if they cannotreach a satisfactory deal with arailway. The arbitration process willbe no more than 45 days with the rulingbinding.Transport Canada officials toldMPs that shippers would have operationalobligations to load cars whenthey are delivered, but there wouldbe no penalties for failure to comply.Railways could take them to courtfor damages.It led Toronto MP Joe Daniel to suggestthe bill is one-sided.“The way the bill is actually put forward,it almost seems to be favouringthe shippers rather than trying tocome up with an equitable solution,”he said.The railways will make the samepoint when they appear as witnesses.They insist legislative intervention isunnecessary.Lebel insisted the bill is balanced,correcting a current market powerimbalance.Officials said the terms of the billwill apply to federally regulatedshort-line railways.As well, any penalties for noncomplianceby the carriers will go tothe government rather than the shippers.Lebel said the potential for fineswould encourage railways to do theright thing and the fact that therewould be no revenue reward for shipperswould deter them from wantingto use the system frivolously.Opposition MPs complained thelegislation would not apply to shipperswho have already signed a serviceagreement with a carrier, even ifits terms are worse than are possibleunder Bill C-52.Lebel said most of the privateagreements end in a year or two andthen shippers could move to legislativeremedies if need be.Meet Ken DuttonNew legislation would see fines up to $100,000 if railways do not liveup to agreements. | FILE PHOTOStarted farming: 1974Crop rotation: Chemfallow, durum, spring wheat, barleyFirst vehicle: ‘64 Chevy Half-TonLoves: Family, Saskatchewan RoughridersHates: Kochia, Edmonton EskimosWill never sell: His 4020 John Deere tractor, a gift from dadMost memorable farming moment: “Last year, we filled all the bins.”PrecisionPac ® blends: DB-858, DB-8454JUST LIKE KEN, EVERY GROWER IS UNIQUE.THAT’S WHY WE HAVE PRECISIONPAC ® .As a matter of fact, so is each and every farm in Western Canada, in terms of its field sizes, croprotation and weed spectrum.

That hasbeen Cargill’s hope with this program,he added.“Hopefully we have eliminated andreduced the risk.”

16 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSGRASS FIRE | MANAGEMENTGrass recovers following destructive blazePasture health | While a massive 1997 fire was costly, the native grazing land it burned was quick to bounce backBY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAUFORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Thescorched earth left by grass fires isn’ta pretty sight, but native grazing landcan be remarkably resilient, says arangeland specialist.Varge Craig of Alberta RangelandServices has been monitoring recoveryof grasslands from a fire that tookplace 16 years ago.He reviewed his observations at theFeb. 13 Holding the Reins conferenceorganized by the Oldman WatershedCouncil.The Porcupine Hills to Granum fireburned 54,000 acres on Dec. 14, 1997,in a runaway blaze pushed by 90km/h winds and dry conditions.A swath of fire 32 kilometres longburned five homes, killed 250 cattleand displaced another 5,000 head,destroyed 960 km of fence andburned large amounts of hay andwinter feed.The fire caused $10 million in uninsuredlosses and is still consideredone of the hottest grassland fires everto occur in Canada, Craig said.The community banded together tofight and then manage after the fire.Researchers later learned that damageto grass was far less than feared.“In terms of the severity of theburns … less than three percent of thetotal burning area was severelyburned. We were dealing more withmoderate to lightly burned areas.”Severity made a big difference ingrass health and recovery because ofroot crown health and remaining soillitter and thatch. However, Craig saidWhile often dangerous, grass fires can benefit pasture land, improving forage quality and nutrient cycling. | FILE PHOTOspring rain was the big bonus.“Probably the blessing, the bestthing that happened for us in terms ofthe community and the landscape,was the fact that 1998 was a tremendousyear for moisture. From myperspective, it couldn’t have gottenany better,” he said.“At the critical time from April, Mayand June, we couldn’t have asked forbetter rainfall.”Records show 1998 precipitationfrom April to September totalled574.2 millimetres, much higher thanaverage for the region.Fire is feared, but it was once a naturallyoccurring event on the Prairies.Craig estimated major prairie firesused to occur at least once every 10years before fire suppression becamethe norm.Lessons learned from the 1997 fireincluded the need for fire plans, theimportance of monitoring fire aftermathfor best pasture recovery andthe knowledge that rangelands aremore resilient than many believe.Rangeland specialist Kevin Franceechoed some of those statements.“It’s not if, but when,” said France inreference to prairie fires.There are obvious risks to grass firesin terms of life and property, but benefitscan include ecosystem renewal,improved forage quality, better wildlifehabitat and nutrient cycling.France said few grassland fires penetratethe soil to a depth that killsplant roots. As well, grazing animalsare attracted to burned sites becausethey offer tender, palatable grass.As an example, France said a fire onthe Milk River ridge in November 2011burned 8,000 acres of grassland ownedby the Deseret and McIntyre ranches. Itwas started by a discarded cigarettebutt on a roadside and burned a largeportion of winter cattle range.He said damage appeared severe,but good spring moisture hastenedrecovery. Stocking rates werereduced in the year after the fire toallow grass rejuvenation.FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 42 »Working togetherto improve weedmanagementManaging tough-to-control and other key,potentially resistant weeds can be a challenge.The best way to meet that challenge isto optimize weed control by tank mixingRoundup ® agricultural herbicides withHEAT ® herbicide in your pre-seed burnoffor chemfallow treatment.See your retailer for details.SAVE $0.50 /ACRE *on Eligible Roundup®agricultural herbicideswhen purchased withmatching acres ofHEAT® herbicide.For full offer details and to determineeligible products, go to www.rrwms.ca orwww.roundup.ca.

They seeded aparcel of land to canola for the firsttime.The land near Indian Head, Sask.,had been used for a field pea rotationstudy for the previous 17 years,growing rotations of continuouspeas, wheat-peas or wheat-wheatpeas,researcher Guy Lafond toldproducers at a recent Indian HeadAgricultural Research FoundationSeminar in Melville.The research centre started a newproject last year, scrapping the pearotations and adding canola into themix.Pea fields are susceptible to sclerotinia,but the old rotations didn’tappear to influence the performanceof last year’s canola crop.The resulting numbers are encouraging.Plant density was similar acrossall three sites — 65 to 73 plants persq. metre — as were yields, whichfell to slightly less than 35 bushelsper acre.“Even though we had a continuouspea rotation for all of these years… it did not exacerbate the problemsin terms of diseases in canola,”Lafond told producers.The plot will be seeded to wheat inthe upcoming crop year and thencanola the following year.“If you do include pulse crops inyour rotation, you shouldn’t beFirst year trials showed swapping peas for canola in rotationsproduced no increase in diseases. | FILE PHOTOconcerned about losing yield (incanola)” said Lafond.Other Agriculture Canada researchhas also showed a rotationwith peas outperforming others indry years, he added.Lafond encouraged producers toweigh the long-term risks of shortenedcanola rotations when makingcropping decisions, as well as thethreat of sclerotinia and blackleg.He said last year’s results shouldn’tdiscourage producers from includingfield peas in their rotations.puts nutrients where they count.STORIES BY DAN YATESSASKATOON NEWSROOMMELVILLE, Sask. — The same conditionsthat encouraged the spread ofsclerotinia in Saskatchewan canolacrops last summer actually provideda boost to a small set of soybean trialsin the province, says the researchmanager of the Indian Head AgriculturalResearch Foundation.However, while one year of soybeantrial data are encouraging, Chris Holzapfelstill believes it’s a risky crop togrow in southeastern Saskatchewan.“I don’t know if we can expect to dobetter than this in our environment,but this was certainly exciting to me,”he told producers at a recent seminarin Melville.Lots of heat and then a shot of moisturein late July boosted yields past 40bushels per acre for some varietiesfrom Manitoba’s NorthStar Genetics,which the organization began testinglast summer.Results from commercial growersin the area varied from 20 bu. per acreto the higher numbers, he added.Holzapfel said improved genetics,which are better suited to a shorterseason and cooler temperatures, aswell as the crop’s success in Manitobaare driving interest from growers.NorthStar’s earliest maturing variety,Reston, is pegged at 109 days andIt should still be considered, inmy opinion, a fairly risky crop. Iwouldn’t seed the whole farm tosoybeans at this time.CHRIS HOLZAPFELINDIAN HEAD AGRICULTURALRESEARCH FOUNDATIONwas one of the standout performersof the handful tested.Plants are mature when 95 percentof pods have changed colour. Someof the company’s other varieties arelisted with days to maturity up to 114days.“(So it’s) still a fairly long seasoncrop relative to our wheat and canolaand barley, things like that,” he said.“But it has been achievable for thelast couple of years.”Researchers in Indian Head seededthe soybeans at 200,000 seeds peracre into spring wheat stubble.While the results are encouraging,the risk of an early frost in late Augustor early September remains a significantthreat to the crop.“It should still be considered, in myopinion, a fairly risky crop,” saidHolzapfel.“I wouldn’t seed the whole farm tosoybeans at this time.”REAL Results!“We’ve used Awaken ST on our wheat for the past two years. We heardgood things about it, so we put it in side-by-side trials on our farm. Wesaw an increase in yield by four bushels per acre with Awaken ST. Itdefinitely paid for itself in a hurry.“We also noticed quicker emergence and the plant count was significantlyhigher in our wheat treated with Awaken ST than without. There wereabout three or four more plants per square foot.“Awaken ST is a good product. It definitely helps. Foranyone who hasn’t used it before, I would recommendtrying a couple jugs. Put it on a few acres and see theresults for yourself. Especially if the season is cold andconditions aren’t ideal for germination.

Waterequivalent measurements arereported (in millimetres) insteadof snow because equal amounts ofsnow can hold differing amountsof water, depending on relativehumidity and other factors.• Automatic reporting stations aresometimes also equipped with asnow depth sensor. The sensoraims a high-frequency pulse at theground, which bounces back whenit strikes the surface of the snow. Acomputer calculates the snow depthusing the time it takes for the pulseto return to the sensor.

NEWSTHE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 19CATTLE | GRAZINGNew forage variety intendedto reduce bloat in cattleGrows with alfalfa | Agriculture Canada develops new sainfoin cultivarthat reduces gas buildup seen in cattle foraging alfalfaBY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAUA new forage variety may reducethe threat of bloat in cattle that grazealfalfa.Mountainview, a sainfoin cultivardeveloped by Agriculture Canadaforage breeder Surya Acharya, is aperennial that can be seeded withalfalfa and will prevent bloat in grazingcattle.Acharya announced the new varietyFeb. 5 at the Alberta Forage IndustryNetwork’s annual meeting inPonoka, Alta.In a later interview, he said developmentof the sainfoin took about 15years, the last four of which involvedfield testing to gauge the crop’s abilityto prevent bloat and survive in mixedstands.“We forage breeders are verypatient people,” Acharya said with alaugh about work he started in 1999on the variety.“I am very much pleased with it,particularly in Lethbridge. All theselections were done here so naturallyit did remarkably well here.”Bloat can be a serious problem forcattle grazing alfalfa. It is a highlynutritious feed that is quickly digested,but ingestion of large amountscan lead to fatal gas buildup. Thatthreat can limit its use.Sainfoin is a non-bloating forage.When seeded with alfalfa, cattleingest a mixture and the bloat threatis reduced.Don McLennan, past chair of theforage network, said Mountainviewis one of the most exciting researchresults in the industry in recent years.“It has the potential to have a verysignificant impact on both the forageand livestock industry in WesternCanada and maybe even beyondbecause of the characteristics thatSurya has been able to build into thisnew variety.”He said alfalfa has excellent traitsfor putting pounds on cattle, but graziershave to be careful.“The fear of bloat can take away allthose positives in a big hurry.”However, he said adding sainfoin tothe grazing mix can reduce bloat riskwhile maintaining feed value.Acharya said Mountainview is trulyone of a kind. Most sainfoins do notregrow well after grazing or cuttingfor hay, but this one has shown itsability to regrow and retain biomassinto its fourth year.“Last year we had more than 30percent still there. Thirty percent ofthe biomass was still sainfoin, butthis year we will see what it has done.”Mountainview outyielded thecheck variety, Nova, by 22 to 42 percentin pure stands and by 30 to 39percent in mixed stands with alfalfa.It also reaches flowering 10 daysbefore Nova and has a heavier seedweight.Acharya said bloat prevention wasthe main focus of cultivar development,so he did not select for yield.That is why he was pleasantly surprisedat Mountainview’s continuedyield even after three or four cuts.Palatability also rates well, accordingto grazing observations.“It is as palatable or even bettersometimes than alfalfa because it hasa hollow stem. It does not have a solidstem so the animals can eat the wholething.”Acharya said cattle seem to beselecting sainfoin over alfalfa in initialgrazing, which bodes well forbloat prevention and has alleviatedfears that the crop’s bitter tanninswould inhibit grazing.He said Mountainview has a sweeterflower than alfalfa, and blossomsare more attractive than alfalfa forbees.He estimates a stand of 10 to 15 percentsainfoin would be enough forbloat prevention, although a higherpercentage might bring peace ofmind in patchy forage stands.The cultivar was tested under drylandand irrigated pasture conditionsin the Lethbridge area, and atSaskatoon and Swift Current, Sask.Breeder seed will be produced atAgriculture Canada’s Indian Headfacility and a distribution companywill be selected soon. Mountainviewseed is expected to be available for2015 planting.McLennan said that’s longer thanforage producers would like, nowthat they’ve heard about its potential.“Like a lot of others, I can hardlywait.”Acharya said he and his team willbe watching for disease issues onceMountainview is seeded over a widergeographic area and in rotation withother crops.None have arisen in field trials, butdisease pressure from precedingcrops might bring some to light.The forage researcher’s next focusis on an alfalfa variety that will growin acidic soil.

Manitoba,British Columbia, Ontario, Quebecand some of the Atlantic provinceshave such programs.Industry’s costs will be determinedas the business plan is developed,Killaby said, but are expectedto be minimal and charged back tothe consumer.Other industries that alreadyoperate programs similar to thisinclude scrap tires, electronics,used oil and waste paint.Consumers pay an environmentalhandling fee at point of sale, andthe fee is used to manage the recyclingprogram.Cheveldayoff said expanded recyclingopportunities will extendlandfill life, improve the environmentand create new business andemployment opportunities.In the last three years, Saskatchewanhas provided $6.5 million inbridge funding to municipalities tomaintain their recycling programsas the MMRP regulations werebeing developed.The MMRP will not replace theSARCAN beverage container collectionprogram.EMPLOYMENT | WOMENMounties seekfemale recruitsWomen bring differentstrengths to the job, saysone RCMP officerBY KAREN MORRISONSASKATOON NEWSROOMThe RCMP is on the lookout for afew good women.They currently account for 20 percentof its workforce of 19,000 members,a number that Const. AmyForbes of RCMP Recruiting inSaskatoon wants to see increasethrough her efforts.“At the RCMP, we hire people thatrepresent the people that we serve,”she said, noting newly hired officerscome from across the country.“That’s part of what makes the RCMPdiverse. Everybody has different lifeexperiences they bring to the table andwe’re all able to work together.”A two-hour women in policingevent held this month at the Universityof Saskatchewan presentedinformation about 150 different jobsin the force and allowed female officersto describe their experiences.Forbes spent four years in the fivememberdetachment at Wynyard,Sask., before moving to her currentposition last November.Living in rural and remote areas is apart of the job, she said.“You need to be prepared for lifeadjustments such as that,” saidForbes, who came from Halifax, N.S.She made the adjustment fromurban to rural life, where she was farremoved from friends and family, bygetting involved locally.“In this job, you have to get out inthe community,” she said.Twenty-four weeks of intensivetraining were followed by six monthsof working alongside a senior officer.“We work as a team, so if there wassomething I didn’t know, there’s lotsof people to ask,” she said.Forbes conceded females wereonce not welcome in the RCMP andthese attitudes still persist in certainsegments of society.Women may not be as physicallystrong as men but bring differentstrengths to the job, she said.“Females are more emotional. Thatside may aid them in emotional situationsat a time when empathy isrequired,” said Forbes.For her, the most challenging part ofthe job has been dealing with tragedies,particularly those involving children.“It’s been very hard,” she said, notingofficers are trained to deal withsuch events and keep their emotionsin check. They also engage in debriefingsessions and seek support fromco-workers, friends and family.The reward comes from helpingpeople, the reason Forbes joined.“I wanted to make a difference insomebody’s life and that has happeneda few times,” she said.For more information, visit www.rcmpcareers.ca.

Hespeaks with a customer while checking a newborn.BY WILLIAM DEKAYSASKATOON NEWSROOMPONTEIX, Sask. — It’s a busy timefor Ross and Tara Davidson of LonesomeDove Ranch. Calves are borndaily, catalogues are in the mail fortheir March 2 bull sale and finishingtouches on the new sale barn arekeeping Ross up at night.Arms are also full on the homefront. Twin boys Cameron and Ashare turning three and daughter Jaimearrived two months ago.Balancing tasks is nothing new forthe husband and wife ranching duo,who married in 2005 and celebratedin the old barn on their newly purchasedfarm.“Our moms and grandmas scrubbedand vacuumed the loft. You couldlick the floor,” said Ross.“We got married at my parent’sfarm and then crammed 350 of ourclosest friends upstairs in the barnloft. It was fun. The barn was shakingthat night,” said Tara.“That’s why we moved here wasbecause of the barn,” said Tara of the1927 barn.After adding red and green tin to thebarn and securing water and power,the couple moved a house onto theproperty.They began building corrals for aburgeoning cattle herd and laterplanted a shelter belt of trees aroundthe yard site.They chose Lonesome Dove as aranch name because of a much lovedbook read by Tara during her agriculturestudies at the University of Saskatchewan.“We get a lot of comments that it’s areal distinctive name and it’s easy toremember,” she said.Building a herd in the mid-2000s inthe midst of the BSE crisis and deflatedcattle prices proved both a challengeand opportunity for the22-year-old newlyweds.“We were starting but it took a lot ofguts because lenders aren’t exactlywanting to give you money,” saidTara.“You need to have a strategy and abusiness plan. We grew but we grewgradually. We built momentum as wewent. The more we grow, the easier itis to get financial backing from ourlenders,” said Ross.Off-farm jobs helped them increasetheir savings and qualify for bankloans.“We both worked stupid long hoursat our off-farm jobs. Everybody (loanmanagers) wanted to see an off-farmincome,” said Tara.Today, they manage about 350head. They say Gelbvieh cows arematernal, which complements anybreed and their growing commercialherd.“We’ll be calving out over 300 head,roughly 200 Gelbvieh commercialand 100 purebred Gelbviehs,” saidRoss.During the March bull sale, theywill sell their yearling bulls to a hostof buyers from across North America.For the sale, they team up with Ross’sparents, Eileen and Vernon, atDavidson Gelbviehs.Although he hasn’t ruled out thepossibility of grain farming one day,Ross conceded their plate is full withthe cattle.“It’s hard to focus and do a good jobfor ourselves and be in both.

Taylor Pachal graduatedfrom high school and RachaelMachnee is enrolled in school inBritain.At the world event, teams from 20countries will compete July 2-7.Teacher adviser Kevin Chiassonsaid his hopes for Germany are “to dothe best we can” and at least garner amedal of excellence.Chiasson said that the competitionis scored out of 1,000, with teamsscoring 500 or more points receivingthe medal of excellence. An Ontarioteam earned that in 2011 when theyfinished seventh.Leister is shooting for the top.“It’s to win,” he said.Chiasson added, “Gold would beamazing. I think we can do it.”Leister said the key to success is tospend the next four months workingon design and robot operation.A robot built by Chiasson andLeister will need to assemblea wooden man at an upcomingcompetition in Germany.There’s lots of analyzing andthinking out of the box.BO CHIASSONYORKTON, SASK. STUDENTChiasson said the world event offersnew challenges, with greater relianceon programming than in past.“The building part is more interesting,”he said, conceding programmingis not his particular strengthLeister said having the main roboticchassis provided through theworld event makes the process differentthan having to cobble a robottogether for the events leading up toworlds.“I kind of liked the idea of scroungingfor stuff,” he said, noting the resultwas more personal.The team recently attended theWorld Americas event in Sao Paulo,Brazil, and emerged winners againstcompetitors from Brazil, Colombia,Chile and Uruguay.“To be honest, we were shocked,”said Chiasson.Chiasson said the experience inBrazil was amazing.“I knew we had a chance,” he said.Leister said the extracurricularactivity involves much work.“It’s been non-stop working sinceprovincials. Even before that, wewere working hard,” he said.Leister said the world roboticsevent will look good on a resume.“I’ve got to keep this in mind,” hesaid.Chiasson said competitions atworlds revolve around students havingto construct and program robotsto carry out a predetermined task.As an example, he said studentshave to design a robotic arm andinstall it on a provided platform unit.They then have to program the unitso that they can operate it to pick up aseries of wooden body parts and constructa wooden man model.“It’s like a game,” he said, addingthe process forces participants towork on their problem-solvingskills.“There’s lots of analyzing andthinking out of the box.”Chiasson said they are close to havingthe robotic arm built, whichallows the team a few months ofpractice to manoeuvre the robot tocomplete its task.“You have to be comfortable withthe controls,” he said, noting there isa need to be fast and accurate toscore well.The interest in robotics is extendingto the classroom with three fullclasses of Grade 9 electrical/roboticsand YRHS offering Grade 10 roboticsand developing a Grade 11 curriculumfor the fall.Yorkton Regional High School students Bo Chiasson and Jayden Leister work on their award winning robotdesigns.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 27AdvertisementManaging resistance before resistance manages you.Western Canadian farmers continue to benefit from tools suchas glyphosate for non-crop weed control practices includingpre-seed, chemfallow and post-harvest herbicide applications. Thoseapplications are an important tool in reducing weed competition formoisture and nutrients, and – particularly for pre-seed applications – canhelp guarantee the best start for a new crop.But in recent years, growers have seen an increase in the number ofdocumented cases of weed resistance in Western Canada, proving glyphosatealone can no longer do the job. Now, researchers suggest that mixingherbicides with multiple modes of action and using them in the same spraywill go a long way in helping to control glyphosate-resistant weeds, andpreventing new herbicide-resistant weeds from developing.EFFECTIVE NON-CROP USE OF GROUP 2 HERBICIDESPre-seed weed control is a practice that began in cereal crops, and isincreasingly popular as an increasing number of Western Canadianfarmers adopt minimum tillage practices.UNDERSTANDING RESISTANCEWeeds become resistant when they’ve had too much of a good thing.Practices and crops that work well one year are less effective in consecutiveyears, if there’s no break in routine. That’s why healthy rotation – of croptypes, practices and herbicides – is essential.It’s becoming increasingly clear that using glyphosate alone will not controlglyphosate-resistant kochia and may increase the risk of glyphosate-resistanceoccurring in other weed species in the future. With the emergence ofRoundup Ready® volunteers, as well as hard-to-kill weeds that are notcontrolled by glyphosate alone, growers have found that including anadd-in like DuPont Express® brand herbicide helps to control theseweeds and manage resistance.MANAGING RESISTANCECrop rotationIdeally, any healthy field will have a rotation of at least three crop types.Research suggests it is equally important to incorporate a host of othernatural methods of weed control such as higher seeding rates, the use ofclean seed, mowing out suspected resistant weed patches before they goto seed and using herbicides according to label directions.Utilizing multiple modes of actionHerbicides are categorized into 17 different groups according to howthey target a weed. For example, Sulfonylurea (member of Group 2)herbicides control weeds by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase,which is essential to their growth.“If at all possible, producers should use mixtures of herbicides that usemultiple modes of action in the seeding year,” says Ken Sapsford,University of Saskatchewan. “It’s one further step to help stop resistancefrom developing.”Group 2 herbicides are a highly effective way to control weeds – but likeother herbicide groups they need to be used appropriately, and utilized withherbicides from other groups in the same spray to help manage resistance.In spring, particularly if the crop rotation included a crop such asRR canola, DuPont scientists recommend a pre-plant/burndownherbicide treatment such as Express® brands (Group 2) or PrecisionPac®NC-00439 or NC-0050 (Group 2) as an add-in with glyphosate to takeadvantage of multiple modes of action. Because both Group 2 and Group 9herbicides have activity on many of the same weeds, growers automaticallyget multiple modes of action where they need it most. In certain areas,adding a third mode of action such as dicamba, 2,4-D or MCPA (Group 4)is advisable, and can be recommended by an agronomist.“We know that if we control those weeds early with a burn-off and thencome in and seed, controlling those weeds and conserving moisture is thebest option,” says Ken Sapsford, University of Saskatchewan.The Express® brands significantly improve control of tough weeds suchas dandelion and narrow-leaved hawk’s beard in a pre-seed burn-offor post-harvest burndown. Not only will growers improve their weedcontrol but they will also be hitting weeds with actives from two differentgroups to help manage weed resistance.THE RACE IS ONThe race is on among the world’s leading crop protection companies totackle the development of weed resistance, and DuPont Crop Protection iscommitted to working with growers and retailers on solutions that protectthe use of all the best tools.A tank mix of Express® brand herbicides plus glyphosate provides multiplemodes of action, allows for the sequential application of a different modeif needed, and gives a crop a running start for a productive growingseason. DuPont will continue to promote the use of multiple modes ofaction in a single spray, because it is an effective way to control problemweeds. DuPont is also committed to designing single and multiple activeingredient products with efficacious use rates and realistic performanceclaims – and DuPont is nimble enough to meet specific field needs andadjust recommendations based on what’s going on in the field.

Mydoctor said it was acute conjunctivitisand it would clear up on its ownin a few days. It did but I wonder whyhe did not suggest any antibiotic eyeointment like Polysporin?The doctor probably thoughtA: the infection was from a virusrather than a bacterium. Antibioticswould not help in this case. Mostcases of conjunctivitis or pink eyeare due to the same virus, the adenovirus,which causes the commoncold. Even in bacterial cases, abouttwo-thirds of them clear up withouttreatment in a few days. Doctors arereluctant to prescribe unnecessaryantibiotics because overuse has beenassociated with the emergence ofmore treatment resistant bugs.Bacterial conjunctivitis causes athick, purulent, green or yellow dischargeand can be due to Staph. aureus,Strep. pneumoniae, Haemophilusinfluenzae or M. catarrhalis.Some cases may require treatment.You can try over-the-counter ointmentsuch as Polysporin or dropsthat contain the antibiotics Gramicidinand Bacitracin, or you can getprescription antibiotics from yourfamily doctor.Treatment lessens the length of suffering,prevents complications suchas scarring and limits the spread ofinfection to other people.The drops or ointments are generallyapplied for seven days, severaltimes a day.COLD AND FLUThere are advertisements onQ: TV making fun of men whohave colds. I have found that my husbandseems to get more severe symptomsthan I do when he has a cold orflu and he does complain a lot. Is thisa difference in temperament or domen really suffer more than women?Amanda Ellison, author ofA: Getting Your Head Aroundthe Brain and a senior lecturer inneuroscience at Durham University,has discovered that men suffer morethan women when they have coldsand flu.Part of the brain regulates bodytemperature. Ellison said it can beinfluenced by the male hormonetestosterone and is larger in menthan women.She thinks this could be the reasonthat men tend to have a higher feverwhen they get a cold.

Sometimes that’s yourdownfall. If you create the volumeand you’re serving a limited market,you do it with less acres,” Boras said.“It’s not healthy for the overallindustry. When we’re trying to attractnew younger growers, at this levelthere’s no room for them to come in.What we’re looking at is an expansionof the sugar beet growing part of it.”as suppliers, investors and owners.The initial stages of research lookpromising, he said, and are expectedto be completed this fall, at whichpoint decisions can be made aboutviability of a biochemical plant, capitalinvestment and next steps.Federal funds were channelledthrough the Canadian AgriculturalAdaptation Program.New funds from the federal government totalling $600,000 will help fund an initiative to explore thepossibility of using sugar beets grown in Alberta in the production of bio-glycol, replacing petrochemicals foundin plastics, fibres, resins and biofuel. | FILE PHOTOWe’ve been able to producesome good crops. Sometimesthat’s your downfall.ROB BORASALBERTA SUGAR BEET GROWERSSugar from the Alberta crop is processedand sold by Lantic, whichsupplies Western Canada’s needswith some left over for export. Theredoesn’t appear to be a growingdemand for sugar.“It’s virtually stagnant, the growthin that. The consumption is prettywell straight line,” said Boras.“It’s pretty well capped at roughly100,000 tons per year that we can fill,and from there, what do you do?”Boras said beet production for sugarwill continue even if diversificationefforts come to fruition, butanother production stream wouldcomplement the existing industry.“It doesn’t hurt to have more thanone processor in the business. As wecan see in the potato business, withMcCain’s and Lamb Weston, it is avery healthy industry because thereare two players.”A plant producing glycol and otherproducts would also have the advantageof being “green” and renewable,while avoiding the food versus fueldebate.

30 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSHORSES | QUARTER HORSEBook traceshistory ofQuarterhorseQuarter horse associationfinds information indecades-old Stud BookBY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAUThe Canadian Quarter Horse Associationis trying to reconstruct itshistory.That task became slightly easierFeb. 7 when it reacquired a copy ofthe 1965 CQHA Stud Book, the firstone published by the organization.“We didn’t have access to this informationprior to the book coming intoour possession, so that was reallyhelpful to us,” said Marnie Somers,the association’s chair of membershipand communications.“Someone approached one of ourdirectors and said they had this bookfor sale and asked if we were interestedbefore they put it on eBay. It’sthe only one that we know of, so wejumped on it.”The association met the seller’sprice and is now hoping people willcome forward with stud books fromother years so it can compile a morecomplete history.The association was formed in 1957and put out its first stud book in 1965.It was a record of breeding horses,association directors, members andother information.Somers said efforts to create anofficial Canadian registry for Quarterhorses floundered in 1988 when thebreed was refused true breed statusunder Canadian livestock regulationsbecause Quarter horses haveThoroughbred bloodlines.“Then people lost interest in tryingto go that route,” said Somers.Instead, horse owners and breedersregistered their animals withthe American Quarter Horse Association,which was established in1940.

Somers saidthere are 240,000 Quarter horses inCanada.The CQHA was resurrected in 2000,but records from its earlier incarnationwere lost with the passage oftime.“We just moved forward from there.We’ve tried to contact some of thepioneers, but no one seems to havevery much information,” she said.The value of the 1965 CQHA studbook is mostly historical. The horseslisted in it are long gone, but some oftheir bloodlines likely live on.“There will be some there that wecan trace that we were never able totrace before,” Somers said.“We do get inquiries from membersthat want to find out about thehistory of the horse they own now.At least now that we have the studbook available, we can direct themto there.”The book has been digitized andcan be found on the association’swebsite at www.cqha.ca.Quarter horses were denied true breed status under Canadian livestock rules 25 years ago and historical information and records were lost. | FILE PHOTOSomers said the association executiveisn’t sure how many stud bookswere published in earlier years, but ithopes more will reappear.CQHA president Haidee Landryplans to make history compilation apet project this year, said Somers.Landry was unavailable for commentat press time.The 1965 stud book constitutes agood start to the process, she added.“We’ve got the first piece of theBayerCropScience.ca/Varro or 1 888-283-6847 or contact your Bayer CropScience representative.Always read and follow label directions.

RESEARCH | PHOTOSYNTHESISBY MARY MACARTHURCAMROSE BUREAUResearchers at Cornell Universitybelieve they have found a gene thatwill increase crop yields by 50 percent.The “scarecrow” gene controls aleaf structure that will lead to moreefficient photosynthesis.Plants use two methods of photosynthesis:C3 in plants like barley andrice and C4 in plants like sugar caneand corn.With the discovery of the gene,researchers hope to be able to transferthe more efficient photosynthesistechnology from C4 crops to C3crops.The finding “provides a clue as tohow this whole anatomical key isregulated,” said Robert Turgeon, professorof plant biology at CornellUniversity in Ithaca, New York.Farmers could grow wheat and ricein hotter, drier environments withless fertilizer and possibly increaseyields if C4 photosynthesis is successfullytransferred to C3 plants, hesaid.However, Jim Helm, plant breederand head of research at Alberta Agriculture’sfield crops branch inLacombe, Alta., said just becauseNEWSGene discovery fails to wowCanadian plant breederCrop yields | Alberta Agriculture official skeptical that U.S. researcherscan improve efficiency of photosynthesis in C3 plants, including barleySteel TrussingHeavy-Duty DualScissor LiftUndercarriageAmerican researchers claim theyhave discovered a gene that couldmake it possible to grow cropssuch as barley more efficiently. |FILE PHOTOStabilizerBracket1-866-467-7207 www.wheatheart.comresearchers have discovered somethingdoesn’t mean it’s going to beadopted.“If you go back 50 years ago, theyfound the holy grail of having wheatfix its own nitrogen.

34 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSCORN | PURAMAIZEBuffer cropkeeps GMOs outof organic cornGene blocking system | The hybrid cornprotects a field from GMO driftBY ROBERT ARNASONBRANDON BUREAUGUELPH, Ont. — A new corn varietymay provide organic growersexactly what they need: a buffer zonebetween fields of genetically modifiedand organic corn.The buffer is a genetic advancementthat creates a technologicalbarrier between corn fields.The hybrid, known as PuraMaize,features a gene blocking system thatsolves the problem of GM corn pollendrifting onto corn plants in adjacentorganic fields.“Grain buyers want assurance thatgrain will be free from GMO contamination,and PuraMaize offersjust that,” Maury Johnson, owner ofBlue River Hybrids, an organic seeddealer in Kelley, Iowa, said in a statement.MAURY JOHNSONBLUE RIVER HYBRIDS“PuraMaize is highly effective inprotecting corn from GMO fielddrift… (so) grain farmers and buyershave a powerful new tool at their disposalfor preserving non-GMO integrity.”Hoegemeyer Hybrids of Nebraskapatented the PuraMaize technologyseveral years ago.For now, Blue River Hybrids is theonly U.S. company licensed to distributethe hybrid, which was developedthrough conventional cornbreeding.A company fact sheet said Pura-Maize contains genes known asgametophyte factors. A gene, commonlyknown as GA1S, preferentiallyselects pollen from corn plants withthe same genotype, which obstructspollination drift from other cornhybrids.Organic growers need this technologybecause GM contamination is achallenge and will soon become alarger problem in North America.Dow AgroSciences, Monsanto andBayer are expected to release corn,soybeans and other crops withstacked herbicide tolerance over thenext few years.The introduction of new herbicidetolerant traits will increase theamount of GMOs in fields across theUnited States and Canada, which willincrease the risk of GMO contaminationin organic crops.Several organic advocates suggestedat the Guelph Organic Conferencein early February that the federalTOM MANLEYHOMESTEAD ORGANICSgovernment should intervene. Theysaid that in an ideal world, conventionalgrowers should have to establishbuffer zones on the edges of theirfields to prevent pollen drift intoorganic fields.However, Tom Manley, owner ofHomestead Organics, a farm supplyand advisory service near Cornwall,Ont., said such a policy is an organicpipe dream.Pierre Lemieux, parliamentary sectorfor agriculture minister GerryRitz, has made it clear that he doesn’tthink GMOs are a public risk, Manleysaid at the Guelph meeting. If thegovernment says GMOs aren’t a contaminantand aren’t a threat to thepublic, then the organic sector can’tbe asking for a policy to prevent GMOcontamination, he added.“So there’s just no air in the balloonat all.”Organic growers may have to insteadrely on technological solutionssuch as PuraMaize.Blue River Hybrids sold Pura-Maize for the first time last year.Producers in 11 states planted thecorn variety and grower responsehas been positive, said Erika Brodersen,marketing manager for BlueRiver Hybrids.“We’ve got people from Iowa toMaryland that are planting Pura-Maize,” she said.The company sells PuraMaize inCanada through a distributor inOntario.Last year was a tough summer forcorn growers in many regions ofthe U.S., but the PuraMaize hybridperformed fairly well, Brodersensaid.“As far as the yield, we’re seeingcomparable yields comparable toother products (organic corn varieties).”In addition, independent testingeither didn’t detect GMOs in Pura-Maize corn grown last year or detectedGMO levels of less than 0.05 percent.PuraMaize is the first corn hybrid toreach the commercial phase, butother entrepreneurs are developingsimilar technologies.As reported in the Organic & Non-GMO Report, Frank Kutka, a NorthDakota State University corn breeder,is developing varieties called“organic ready,” which recognizes itsown pollen and rejects pollen fromother corn hybrids.Organic growers welcome the PuraMaize blocking technology to prevent GM contamination. | FILE PHOTOYOURPERFORMANCE.

NEWSTHE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 35TRADE TALKS | DOHA ROUNDDairy leader gloomy on WTO progressNew director general | DFC president says countries are choosing regional and bilateral dealsBY BARRY WILSONOTTAWA BUREAUAs a longtime British Columbiadairy farmer, Wally Smith knows athing or two about downer cows.As a longtime executive player inDairy Farmers of Canada, the DFCpresident also knows a thing or twoabout stalled World Trade Organizationnegotiations.Oddly, he finds similarity betweenthe two.“I compare the WTO talks to adowner cow,” Smith said in aspeech and later interview duringthe DFC’s recent annual meeting inOttawa.“You feed it, you look after it, you tryto rehabilitate it and it is a drag on allyour energy and resources.”WTO talks and demands frommany countries for across-the-boardtariff cuts have been seen for yearsas the greatest threat to the supplymanagement system, but Smithsaid the emphasis has changed tobilateral and regional trade negotiations,where access is also on thetable.“I think countries are voting withtheir feet (by emphasizing regionaland bilateral deals),” he said.“I think the plurilateral agreementmodel like the WTO is in some jeopardy.”The 11-year-old Doha Round ofnegotiations, which is gearing up fora ministerial meeting in December,seems to be going nowhere.Still, when ministers gather inBali, Indonesia, in December, DFCwill be there in case somethinghappens. There will be a new directorgeneral and Canadian ministerswill attend.“I can’t predict if there will be progress,”he said.“But where the minister goes, welike to shadow.”Smith said ongoing discussionswithin the Canadian dairy industryabout creating a national pool also fitthe downer cow pattern.He used his convention speech toadvocate for more progress on foldingregional pools into one becausethe industry needs national decisionmaking when changes have to bemade.However, Smith said it is slowgoing.“We’re not going anywhere fast,” hesaid in the later interview.“We continue to have dialogueand my sense is there is a lot morepressure we have to acknowledgeas an industry. If we are going toadapt to change, as I think we needto, there is more strength in anational system that is unified fromcoast to coast than having regionalpools still trying to protect provincialsovereignty.”He said existing divisions betweenregional pools leave the industryweaker than it need be.“The more united we are, the strongerwe’ll be.”It is an issue that former DFC presidentJacques Laforge championedfor years and Smith has picked up thebaton, although with little expectationof a quick solution.“In some ways, we’re precedingwith national pools discussions thesame way that we are with theW TO.”ON THE CANDIDATES LISTNine candidates have been nominatedas possible successors to outgoingWTO director-general Pascal Lamy.The result is scheduled for May 31.• Tim Groser, New Zealand ministerof trade• Amina Mohamed of Kenya, UnitedNations assistant secretary-generaland deputy executive director ofthe UN Environment Programme• Anabal González, Costa Rica’sforeign trade minister• Mari Elka Pangestu, formerIndonesian trade minister• Ahmad Thougan Hindawi, Jordan’sformer trade and industry minister• Herminio Blanco, Mexico’s formertrade and industry minister• Taeho Bark, Republic of Korea’strade minister• Roberto Carvalho de Azevêdo,representative of Brazil to the WTO• Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen,former Ghanaian minister of trade,industry and president’s specialinitiativesCROPS | SOYBEANS, BEANSSoybeans not toleratedin edible bean cropBY ED WHITEWINNIPEG BUREAUFarming has become a business of higher technology.

There is almost notolerance for them.Soybeans and edible beans havebeen butting heads in Manitoba’sRed River Valley for years, with manytraditional edible bean growers tryingsoybeans or putting soybeansinto their rotations.Edibles have been a significant cropfor decades, but soybeans are a phenomenonof the past decade, goingfrom near-zero acres to probablymore than one million this year.Edibles will probably have less than100,000 acres in Manitoba thisspring.Lange said soybeans tend to have a.5 to three percent volunteer rate ifthey are grown on a field two yearspreviously. They can’t always becleaned out by a colour sorter, especiallyif they have matured by thetime they are harvested.Lange said he would even be hesitantto put edibles on a field used forsoybean production three years previously.It’s best to dedicate fields toIf you have a field that’s suitablefor edible beans and you havefields on your farm that aresuitable for soybeans, neitherthe two shall mix.DENNIS LANGEMANITOBA AGRICULTUEone or the other and stick with that,he added.“If you have a field that’s suitable foredible beans and you have fields onyour farm that are suitable for soybeans,neither the two shall mix.”Edibles do best on well-drained,sandy soil, so those fields make mostsense for that crop. Soybeans canhandle wetter soil better, so thosetypes of fields work well for that crop.Lange encouraged farmers to keepcareful track of their fields’ productionhistory because it can be hard tokeep track of what has been grown oneach field, especially if farmers havehad to reseed acres because ofweather problems.“Unfortunately, sometimes growersforget what they had two yearsago,” said Lange.Tandem TM OcTTain TM XL Simplicity TM Liquid Achieve TM SC Prestige TM XC Spectrum TMFrontline TM XL Frontline TM 2,4-D XC Stellar TM Attain TM XC PrePass TM XC Vantage TM Plus Max IICereal HerbicidePERFORMANCE® TMTrademark of The Dow Chemical Company(“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow.0113-19449-03MANITOBA FARMERS MAY GROW MORE THAN1 million acresOF SOYBEANS THIS YEAR

Reputable farmers werebrought in to walk the property. Representativesof the Credit Valley ConservationAuthority and a landscapearchitect provided their opinions.More than 16,000 native trees havebeen planted over the past decade,some with the idea of growing a forestgarden where fruits and nuts canbe harvested along with fuel andtimber.Sheltered locations, called suntraps, are being used for crops.

It hassupplied as many as 100 families withfruits and vegetables.Whole Village members also gardenfor themselves, with varyingdegrees of success. As well, there arepoultry and enough grain grown tofeed them.Greenhaven was built for $2.4 millionand incorporates many sustainablefeatures, including a superinsulatedshell, an energy-efficientmasonry heat system, passive solar,radiant floor heating from a geothermalsystem, solar water heating andan engineered wetland to treat greyand black water. Rainwater is collectedfrom the roof in barrels for thegardens.Communal meals are served aboutfive days a week with members sharingkitchen duties.Members also preserve food togetherand share rides, vehicles anditems such as sewing machines andvacuums.Dolling said environmental permacultureseeks to establish a harmoniousrelationship with nature, whichrequires careful observation andexperimentation.Establishing a culture of permaculturewhen it comes to human relationshipsmay be the greater challenge.Dolling said it requires much discussion,consensus, mutual support,a focus on common sustainablegoals and a great deal of patience.The fact that many of the Whole Villagepartners are retirees with a considerableamount of life experiencemay help.Members buy shares in the community,which are transferable. InDolling’s case, these add up to morethan $200,000.There are also monthly fees to coversome of the farm and home costs andpay for food.“We’re still subsidizing the operation,but we hope the next generationdoesn’t have to,” said Dolling, whogrew up on a mixed farm nearOakville, Ont., and has returned toher farming roots after a career ineducation.Whole Village offers group tours,orientation meetings and permacultureeducational workshops.For more information, visit www.wholevillage.org.Control problem grass and broadleaf weeds in wheat – with the easier, moreflexible, one-pass solution.

Speaking in generalabout equipment or animals,” hesaid.“My philosophy is, how do you havean auction sale if you’ve got nobodyin front of you? That’s one thing wenever did was get into the computerend of it, just because of my feelingsthat way. If people are interested inequipment or livestock, or whatever,I feel that it’s worth their while tocome to the sale.… I do realize it mayopen up the market to people furtheraway that just don’t have the time orwhatever to come to a sale.

They’re visiting them onthe farm or meeting them at the farmshows.”As a result, the Organic Council ofOntario has helped foster productionclubs in the province, includingdairy, beef, egg and grain.Telford said the production clubs inOntario and Quebec inspired her toconsider similar clubs in Manitoba.Telford sent a survey to 300 producersin Manitoba to determine if growerswant the clubs and how theyshould be organized.She hasn’t reviewed the survey yetLAURA TELFORDORGANIC SPECIALISTbut suspects the clubs will be organizedby to region rather than bysector.“From speaking with producers,they recognize that you can learn alot across commodities and there arehuge benefits to be gained, just bybringing farmers together,” she said.“I think, at the beginning, we’regoing to start with a couple of genericregional clubs that (cut) across allcommodities.”As an example of potential benefits,Manitoba lacks organic chicken productionbecause the province doesn’thave a farmer who grows organicchicken feed.Telford said a new businessarrangement might result if a poultryproducer and organic grain growerjoin the same club.Producers sharing knowledge overcoffee may be constructive, but shesaid talking within a circle does havelimitations.“You also need to bring experts intothe mix at some point because producersdon’t know everything. Therecan be a danger that they’re transferringbad knowledge to each other.”Telford hopes the clubs cometogether quickly and expects to hostan initial meeting in the near future.The clubs are expected to be free atfirst, but the provincial governmentwould likely pay half the costs if clubswanted to host expert speakers in thefuture, she added.

Howe Institute thinks it is time that Farm Credit Canadaagain became the lender of last resortBY BARRY WILSONOTTAWA BUREAUThe business-oriented C.D. HoweInstitute has stirred up a fierce debateby arguing that Farm Credit Canadaprovides unfair competition for privatelenders and should be reined in.The Toronto-based think-tankissued a report early this month arguingthat the crown corporation has anunfair advantage over commercialcompetitors and should have a mandatereview and tougher regulatorycontrol.It also suggested FCC should revertto the lender-of-last-resort position itheld until the late 1980s when thefederal government bailed it out ofhundreds of millions of dollars ofdebt and instructed it to operate inthe black and pay an annual dividendto Ottawa.“The traditional lender-of-lastresortrole … should be consideredfor all crown financial corporations,”said the Howe commentary.“This former legislative role encapsulatedwell the concept that crownsshould not compete with privatelenders and insurers.”The think-tank said its recommendationwould make the crown portfolioshigher risk, but “it would limittheir size and the extent to whichthey crowd out private market activity.”Credit Union Central presidentDavid Phillips said FCC has an economicadvantage over private lenderssuch as credit unions because ithas access to cheaper funds and doesnot pay income tax.“It is an interesting report and weare in agreement with some aspectsof it, and the issues it raises areimportant,” he said. “They clearlyhave a competitive advantage thatwe find unfair. We certainly think amandate review is a good idea.”FCC and its supporters rejected thereport’s premise of unfair advantageand its recommendations.FCC executive vice-president andchief executive officer Remi Lemoinesaid the corporation’s ability to borrowfrom government at cheaperthan-marketrates does not give it amarket advantage.“We do not pass those savings ontoour customers,” he said. “We have abalanced portfolio and our marketshare has grown because agricultureis our sole focus.”He said a parliamentary review ofthe FCC mandate is not necessary.Canadian Federation of Agriculturepresident Ron Bonnett agreed.Bonnett, who is both an FCC andcredit union customer, said FCCoffers farmers a full range of optionsand has shown its financial loyalty tothe sector.“In our opinion, they bring competitioninto the system and they arethere through thick and thin,” hesaid. “For some other lenders, whenthings are good they are there butwhen there is a blip, they run awayfrom the sector like scared rabbits.”Former Liberal agriculture ministerRalph Goodale said the proposalto return FCC to the status of takingon customers that commercial lendersfind too risky is a non-starter.“That is a recipe for failure, and FCCadds financing stability,” he said.“The trouble with relying on privatelenders only is that they are in whentimes are good and out when timesturn. There is no commitment toservice agriculture.”Credit unions and chartered banksbeg to differ and have been wooingfarm groups through sponsorships atThe trouble with relying on private lenders only is thatthey are in when times are good and out when times turn.There is no commitment to service agriculture.RALPH GOODALEFORMER AGRICULTURE MINISTERconventions and contributions tocommunity events.For example, Bank of Montrealagriculture manager Karl McLarenwas given the podium as a primeDairy Farmers of Canada sponsor atthe association’s recent annualFILE PHOTOmeeting to extol the extent of thebank’s partnership with and supportof the dairy industry.The Howe report said FCC’s shareof farm debt almost doubled in 20years to 29 percent in 2011, helpingpush farm debt to record highs.AG EXPOPresented by Farm Credit CanadaNorth AmericanSeed FairPresented by Fortis AlbertaFeb. 27 - Mar. 1 9 to 5 pm dailyLethbridge, AlbertaBayerCropScience.ca/Velocitym3 or 1 888-283-6847 or contact your Bayer CropScience representative.Always read and follow label directions.

Howe Institute, whichargued the federal crown corporation’smandate should limit its abilityto compete with private lenders.It suggested FCC revert to a 25-yearoldmodel of being a lender-of-lastresortfor highest risk farm borrowers.In response to a query, Ritz issued astatement defending the Reginabasedcrown farm lender.“Through targeted programming,FCC provides much needed stabilityto thousands of farmers and farmfamilies,” he said.“Farm Credit Canada has beeninstrumental in fostering long-termeconomic growth overall across ruralCanada. Our government fully supportsthe work that FCC does forfarmers and Canadian agriculture.”The Canadian Bankers’ Associationdoes not see the issue the same way.CBA policy and operations vicepresidentMarion Wrobel said FCC’slower government borrowing ratesclearly gives it an unfair marketadvantage.The proof is that its share of farmdebt outstanding has risen to 30 percentduring the past decade and itsshare of mortgage lending to almost40 percent, he added.Wrobel said crown lenders such asFCC should have a clear mandatethat limits the ability to compete withcommercial lenders such as banksand credit unions.“We think it is really important thatcrowns have a clear public policymandate.”He said they need better oversight,perhaps through the Superintendentof Financial Institutions, which overseesprivate financial institution. Amandate review of the crown corporationby Parliament would also be inorder, he added.Wrobel said FCC clearly makesloans that carry higher risks thanprivate lenders can afford.He also rejected arguments by FCCdefenders that the crown corporationis necessary because it is adependable supporter of the sectorwhile private lenders back away fromlending when the agricultural economyweakens.Private lenders carry the bulk ofshort-term operating loans, he said.Wrobel said private lenders do notsimply lend against rising asset valuesbut also take into considerationcash flow and profitability when issuingoperating loans.“Sometimes we give advice to farmersthat they are taking on too muchdebt,” he said.“Sometimes the best thing to say toan agricultural producer is ‘no’ or‘not so much’ or ‘here’s how you haveto restructure yourself to repay thoseloans.’ ”Wrobel said making FCC a lender oflast resort could be one part of theanswer, depending on the publicpolicy mandate, but the banks’ mainpoint is that publicly supported lendersshould complement private lendersand not compete.“From our point of view, it is a policyof complementarity that is the key.”FOOD SUPPLY | WASTECFA celebratesfood freedomBY BARRY WILSONOTTAWA BUREAUSerious growers take weed control personally.

NEWSTHE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 47U.S. FARM SUPPORTS | SUBSIDY LIMITSU.S. senators push for stricter subsidy limitsCap on payments | The program was designedto help small and medium sized family farmsWASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters)— U.S. farmers would be limited to$125,000 a year in crop supportpayments in a significant tighteningof farm support rules recentlyproposed by four senators fromfarm and ranch states.There is no effective limit on paymentsnow. Large operators collectthe lion’s share of subsidies becausethey are based on each bushel ofgrain or pound of cotton grown on afarm.“It’s time to get the program back toits original intent,” said senatorChuck Grassley, an Iowa Republicanand a sponsor of the bill who is along-time proponent of strict limits.He said the farm program, datingfrom the 1930s, was aimed at protectingsmall and medium-size familyfarms.Besides putting a “hard” cap onpayments per farmer, the bill wouldalso crack down on payments toinvestors and absentee landlords.Under it, only one person living intown could collect subsidies for providingmanagement on a given farm.Passage of the package “would putan end to widespread abuse in farmprograms,” said the National SustainableAgriculture Coalition, whichrepresents small farmers.For too long farm programpayments have gone toproducers who do not needthe support, and sometimes topeople who are not involved infarming.SHERROD BROWNOHIO DEMOCRATIt said the chances for passage of anew farm bill would be boosted bythe inclusion of meaningful paymentlimits.Although the Senate included similarreforms in its farm bill last year,the version approved by the Houseof Representatives’ agriculturecommittee rejected them.Both bills died at the end of 2012,so Congress must start over on thebill this year.Grassley said he was confident theSenate would adopt the packagethis year. Republican senatorMike Enzi of Wyoming, DemocratTim Johnson of SouthDakota and DemocratSherrod Brown of Ohiojoined Grassley assponsors. Brown andGrassley are membersof the Senate agriculturecommittee.The senators’ proposalwould allow grain, cottonand soybean growers tocollect up to $50,000 a yearfor all crop subsidies and$75,000 a year from the marketingloan program, for a totalof $125,000 per farmer.The total would double to$250,000 for a married couple.There is now a $105,000 limitper farmer, or $210,000 per couple,on crop subsidies and no limiton marketing loan benefits, so thereis no overall limit on payments.The senators said a stricter definitionof who qualifies for subsidies,known as the “actively engaged”rule, would greatly reduce the flowof subsidies to investors and absenteeowners who take no role in runninga farm but who say they providekey management direction.Farm subsidies are available toTHE SUBSIDY PROPOSAL WOULDCAP PAYMENTS AT$250,000PER COUPLEpeople who provide land, equipmentor capital and 1,000 hours of labourper year or active management. Adecade ago, a congressional commissionsuggested more stringent ruleson what qualifies as management.“For too long farm program paymentshave gone to producers whodo not need the support, and sometimesto people who are not involvedin farming,” said Brown.The 2008 farm bill was the first todeny subsidies to the wealthiestfarmers, or those with more than$1.25 million in adjusted grossincome. It also ended the “threeentityrule,” which allowed growersto collect subsidies directly andthrough two affiliates.Payment limits are a divisive issuein U.S. agriculture, pitting cotton andrice growers in the South against thewheat, corn and soybean farmers ofthe Plains and Midwest, and bigoperators against small farmers.Cotton and rice have the highestsupport rates but also high costs ofproduction.ADVERTORIAL1000 Foot Views Show Technotill AdvantageGetting a 1000 foot perspective on how crops are performing, gives North Battleford, Sask. areafarmer and private pilot Alan Heidel a much better idea of how his crop management system isworking.Heidel who switched to the Technotill seeding system on his 41 foot airseeding system fi ve yearsago, says a weekly fl ight in his Piper Warrior PA28 over his fi elds throughout the growing seasontells the story.“I have been really impressed with how even the germination is over a whole fi eld, from fl at areasto the hill tops, and over different soil types and you can’t always see that even walking the fi elds,”says Heidel who crops about 2,200 acres of grains, oilseeds and pulse crops. “I use a narrowone-inch Bourgault opener so there is very little soil disturbance. I can run the opener shallowwhen there is good moisture, or deeper to reach moisture in dryer years and there is still just thisone-quarter inch of packed soil on top of the seed. There is excellent seed to soil contact and veryeven germination.”Heidel says the system works equally well with all crops from wheat, to canola, to peas, to lentils,and to oats. “We used to broadcast apply our canola just ahead of the seeding equipment, whichcovered the seed, but I wasn’t happy with germination. The Technotillsystem works extremely well.”And with the Technotill system, he likes the fact that fertilizer is placed just above and to the sideof the seed row. He can place all fertilizer at time of seeding without risk of seedling injury, andespecially in wet years he likes the fact the fertilizer is being moved down into the root zone, ratherthan being leached away below the roots.With a direct seeding system, with very low disturbance, and by leaving crop residue on thefi eld, Heidel says there has been a marked increase in soil organic matter particularly in areas ofsandier soil.“We’ve had some good growing conditions the last few years, but even with that I can tell cropsare much more even, the fi elds are fuller with improved plant stands, and yields have increased,”he says. “It is a very simple and effi cient system that all helps the bottom line,” says Heidel.Making Seeding Simple!Telephone: 780-352-9890, Wetaskiwin, AB

48 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCERNEWSGRAIN | PRODUCTIONForecast for Australian wheat improves slightlyUpdated projections | Crops escape damage from floods and heat, although protein levels disappointSYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) —Australia has raised its productionestimate for the current marketingyear by a fraction from its Decemberestimate.The crop largely escaped damagefrom a heat wave and floods thissummer.The Australian Bureau of Agricultureand Resource Economics andSciences (ABARES) forecast wheatproduction of 22.077 million tonnesfor the marketing year ending inAugust, up .2 percent from itsDecember estimate of 22.035 milliontonnes.The broadly unchanged forecastwill be welcomed after the U.S.Department of Agriculture surprisedthe market by cutting it forecast forThank you to everyone who attendedPULSE DAYS 2013On behalf of Saskatchewan PulseGrowers, we appreciate your continuedsupport.U.S. wheat stocks, adding to worriesabout a global shortage.The stockpile of U.S. wheat at theend of the marketing year May 31 willshrink to 691 million bushels, thesmallest in four years and down fromits previous forecast for 716 millionbu., the USDA said.Australia’s wheat crop enjoyedfavourable weather toward the endof the growing cycle, but the government’scommodity forecastersaid protein levels across the country’seast coast were lower thanaverage.“We weren’t expecting them tochange the wheat number toomuch,” said Luke Mathews, commoditiesstrategist at the CommonwealthBank of Australia.Wheat in Australia is planted startingin late April and harvested by theend of December.Spring rain helped Australia’s wintercrops, ABARES said.The commodities forecaster raisedits 2012-13 canola estimate by 17percent on better-than-expectedyields and a larger planted area.Canola production was put at 3.089million tonnes, up from a Decemberestimate of 2.636 million tonnes.“We always knew canola acreagewas very strong, and we had beenhearing anecdotal reports of betterthan-expectedyields,” Mathews said.More canola was planted in NewSouth Wales and Western Australiathan was previously expected, whilefavourable crop weather across Australia’swest coast boosted yields,ABARES said.The forecaster also noted theimpact of the heat wave that scorchedAustralia in January.While maintaining its forecast forcotton production at 945,000 tonnes,ABARES said summer crop productionwould fall 13 percent to approximately4.8 million tonnes as a resultof the record heat in January. Theheat has sapped soil moisture vitalfor germination and establishingnewly seeded crops.PLATINUM SPONSORSLUNCH SPONSORUSB SPONSORAC®CarberryCWRS WheatOPENING RECEPTION SPONSORSESSION SPONSORSTRANSPORTATION SPONSORREFRESHMENTS BREAKS SPONSORSetting the pace.Start strong.

The largerRogator and Terragator will remainAgco products.However, at the same time NorthAmerica is also getting new brandsand models. The Case IH 2240 is thelatest, smallest and tallest of the company’sPatriot line and was launchedin Kansas City recently.As well, Hardi from Denmarkreleased its entry into the NorthAmerican self propelled market witha pair of machines.For Case IH and Hardi, their newsprayers are aimed at producersmoving up from pull-types or lookingfor a small to midsize self-propelledsprayer that has all the features of thebiggest machines.Hardi has had self-propelledmachines in Europe since the mid-1980s and planned for a NorthAmerican version. However, poorcommodity prices after the turn ofthe century kept it from developing“the right machines for the market.”Doak McDaniel said the companyfeels its new Saritor and Presidiounits, designed and built for theNorth American market, will meetthe needs of large-capacity pull-typeowners looking to move into a selfpropelledrig.“We couldn’t offer those producers,loyal Hardi users, a place to go and staywith our brand. Now we can,” he said.Hardi, which is known for its pulltypeunits and nozzles in North America,has merged with spray companyExcel. It owned the European self-propelledsprayer brands Berthoud andMatrot, among others, so the companyhas a strong track record.While the company consideredexporting European machines toNorth America, it eventually decidedto build a unit with a larger cab andthe features that North Americanfarmers were used to having.The results were the larger Saritorwith a 1,100 or 1,300 U.S. gallon tankand 90 to 132 foot booms and thesmaller Presidio with a 700 galloncapacity and 80 or 90 foot booms.The bigger machine gets a CumminsQSB 6.7 litre engine putting out275 horsepower. The Presidio sportsa 173 h.p. Deutz pushing oil throughThe Hardi Saritor is a self-propelled sprayer with 1,300 U.S. gallon tankand an optional 130 foot boom.a three speed-range Rexroth transmissionand wheel motors.The Saritor relies on a Sauer Danfosshydrostatic transmission feedingfour Sauer Danfoss wheel motors.Wet discs slow the machine from its33 m.p.h. top speed.Forward motion, reverse and brakingare all controlled by pushing ajoystick forward or pulling it back. Acruise control feature allows for atarget spraying speed. Engine speedcan also be selected as a goal.Engine speed during spraying isbalanced against load to maximizefuel efficiency while maintaining thetargeted spraying speed.Both machines use the latest Ace650, wet seal, run dry pumps.“The system looks at what is happeningat the nozzles 20 times a secondand balances flow, pressure andpump speed with ground speed toensure ideal droplet and pattern,”McDaniel said in an interview at theAgconnect show in Kansas City, Missouri,earlier this month.“The system can tell what nozzle ison the boom and how it’s doing too,”he said about the 12 section boom onthe Saritor.The smaller unit has six, eight ornine section Hardi Eagle booms.Both machines have remote fill stationswith chemical inductors andremote machine throttle controls foragitation control from the ground.The bigger machine has electricallycontrolled valves for routing fluidduring loading and resetting foroperations. The Presidio has remotemanual valves at the loading point.The big machine uses an HC9500virtual terminal to communicatespraying control and steering information.The Presidio has the 9500 asan option and has steering assistrather than full auto-guidance as onthe Saritor.“Next year, the 2014 model, willhave full autosteer,” McDaniel said.The Terraforce boom on the Saritorhas active roll and boom heightbased on readings by four sensors.The angle is adjusted through thecentre pendulum.The machine also has the company’sDynamic Fluid Four, which keepsconstant pressure on the booms, evenwhen sections are turning on and offfor overlap or headlands.The Presidio clears the ground by53 inches when riding on 380/80 38s,but can rise up to 58 inches whenwearing optional 380/90 46s.

So it uses camerasto look backwards,” said McDaniel.The machines fold up to 132 and138 inches.The few machines that have beenassembled in Davenport, Iowa, haveall been sold to U.S. buyers inadvance of their release.Case IH sprayer specialist AdamNelson said during World Ag Expo inTulare, California, that the marketneeds machines that bridge the gapbetween large pull types and selfpropelled.“The engineers were looking for amore nimble machine, smaller, withenough ground clearance for eventreating later season corn. But puttingfungicide on durum is a goodexample of where our prairie growershave needs to be out in tall crops,”Nelson said.“And for sclerotinia in canola. Theneed was there and there are still lotsof producers that aren’t too concernedabout needing 1,200 gallonsof capacity and 325 h.p. to haul itaround.”The new 2240 uses the 6.7 litre CaseIH Fiat Power Train engine and carries660 gallons of product.“You can get it in an 80 or 90 footboom and order the optional AIMCommand spray system that givesconstant application rate and spraypressure no matter how fast you arerunning,” he said.“I think we’ll see a lot of them soldwith AIM Command on them.”There are three controller options:the Case IH AFS Pro 700, the RavenViper Pro and the Case IH SCS 5000.Like the other Patriots, the 2240’scab is stuck well out front and theengine is in the rear, balancing theweight 50-50 across the wheels.The trailing link suspension keepsthe machine rolling smoothly.The 165 h.p. is fed into a three speedhydrostatic drive line pushing fourSouer Danfoss wheel motors.

90 FEBRUARY 21, 2013 | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | THE WESTERN PRODUCER PRODUCTIONMACHINERY | DEVELOPMENTFuture equipment will fuse size and technologyResearch and development | Manufacturers say interest in precision agriculture is growingBY MICHAEL RAINESASKATOON NEWSROOMKANSAS CITY, Mo. — Big will getbigger, precision will be the norm,complex will become easier andeverything will speak and play nicewith everything else and deliver profitsand intelligence as well as data.That is what farm equipment companyleaders say is the future of farmmachinery.Many of the world’s farm equipmentmanufacturing leaders were inKansas City earlier this month, roamingthe floors and speaking to farmersand the rest of the industry duringAg Connect, the American EquipmentManufacturers’ premiere agriculturalevent.Several shared their opinionsabout the trends that are guidingtheir companies’ research anddevelopment divisions and howthey are planning for the fields andfarms of the future.Jim Walker, head of Case IH inNorth America, said his companywill spend $1.8 billion on researchand development in the next threeyears creating new machinery andrefining what is a farm machine.“Computers are farm machinesand the new farm machines rely onlatest technologies. These are nolonger separate things,” Walker said.“They are essential parts of it.Sometimes they are the tools thatare making farmers more efficient.…In North America we aren’tdeveloping any more acres of farmland.In most of the world wearen’t.… In many places it is beinglost, so making more from every acreis the focus,” he said.Farming more acres has been thepath to improved prosperity for mostproducers, especially through mostof the 20 years before 2008.Gary MacDonald of Winnipeg’sMacDon Industries said the 30 and40 foot combine and swather headersand 200-plus horsepower powerunits that were previously consideredlarge are now common sizes.“Only a couple of years ago, 30 and40 foot headers were big. Now farmerswant 45s and all we can build.Heck, in Australia producers arepressuring us for 50s.”Larger sizes and faster operatingspeeds will continue to be a majortrend, he added.“At the same time farmers wantfewer servicing and maintenanceissues, because all that takes timeaway from (field operations),” Mac-Donald said.Walker said one of the problemswith the largest equipment is that it isdifficult for dealers to manage theused units. He feels there are limitsComputers are farm machinesand the new farm machines relyon latest technologies. Theseare no longer separate things.JIM WALKERCASE IHwhen it comes to size, but not all ofthem are size itself: some are relatedto the distribution chain and therealities of farm size.“Not everyone is large,” he said.Roy Applequist, who runs GreatPlains Manufacturing in Kansas, saidhis company has seen the need forwider seed drills and bigger verticaltillage gear.However, he said his customersseek out the Great Plains machineryfor its precision and speed ratherthan physical size.“They tell us they want to get themost out of every acre and out ofevery plant, so we have spent a lot oftime and money refining our tools.”Applequist said seed placementand agronomy will define the drillsand tillage systems of the nextdecade.Walker said the cost of precisionhas been dropping rapidly and fewerproducers are opting to buy the lessagronomic ally advanced equipmentthat is available.“Precision technology is evolvingrapidly and getting cheaper by thequarter,” he said.Manufacturers say they are underpressure from farmers and theirdealership chains to deliver precisiontechnology that is not only lesscostly but can be upgraded andreplaced more easily.“It needs to move to open-sourcearchitecture … ISO standard platforms,plug and play with (any)machine,” said Walker.Mark Harrington of Trimble knowsthis better than most farm manufacturers.His company produces some of themost advanced agricultural mappingand geographical tools on themarket.“If you think things in the (informationtechnology) space are movingfast now, the next 10 years is going toastonish you when it comes to farming,”he said.Harrington sees whole farm systems,similar to what is used in manufacturingand other process heavyindustries, as becoming the norm onthe farm.Walker said that type of integrationis being used at Case IH as the companyadapts Iveco’s telematicsexpertise into its farm equipmentfor location, monitoring and dispatching.Harrington said farmers willincrease their accumulation of dataas they see its benefits. They will alsobegin to aggregate it and look for newways to improve profitability throughefficiency, he added.MacDonald cautioned againstexpansion in manufacturing.“The farm market can change rapidlyand so goes our businesses,” hesaid.MacDonald’s company has gonefrom 650 staff to about 1,500 in a fewyears.“How long will this commodityprice run last?” he said.Applequist said another year ofdrought in the United States mightcause him to look at his operations,but he felt that U.S. crop insurancefilled in the losses of 2013.As a result, his company, like mostmanufacturers attending Ag Connect,say their order books are stayingfull.oktire.comTHE MOSTHIGH TECHPIECE OF EQUIPMENTON YOUR FARM MAYNOT BE ELECTRONIC.Farming has kept up with today’s technology, ogy, and your tires arenoexception.

PRODUCTIONTHE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 91TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE | ANCIENT LESSONSLessons from First NationORGANIC MATTERSBRENDA FRICKThis year’s Guelph OrganicConference and Expo lookedto the roots of agriculture in theGreat Lakes region for lessons inmodern organic farming.Richard Hill, a member of theHaudenosaunee First Nation, whichis part of the Six Nation Confederacy,spoke to an attentive and enthusiasticcrowd.Before his talk, several people wereworking the technology, attemptingto bring up his PowerPoint presentation.When he reached the designatedtime for his talk, he calmly suggestedthat perhaps this was a lessonto be learned. Although supportershad made a beautiful presentationfor him, perhaps this was a reminderthat the oral traditions should beshared orally.This set the tone for his presentationand seemed typical of hisapproach: learn the lessons that areall around you. And his story tellingwas well honed: eloquent, humorousand fascinating.Hill described the style of agriculture,based on corn, beans and squash, thatwas practised by the Seneca people inthe 1600s. The “three sisters” wereplanted together in mounds. Corngrew tall, beans used the corn stalksfor support and provided nitrogenand squash covered the ground,reducing weeding and keeping thesoil moist. Hill said research fromCornell University shows this systemwas higher yielding and better for thesoil than any of the European agriculturalsystems of the day.Traditional agriculture was aboutmore than yields or even soil. Itincluded right relationships: amongpeople, with the crops and with theearth. It also included songs, ritualsand cooking. Traditional knowledge,he said, continues to provide a modelfor our relationship to the earth.Hill explained the Haudenosauneeview of the world by comparing it to abowl.He said nature is like a big dish witheverything we need inside. We aregiven a big spoon to take what weneed, but there are some importantrules: take as much as you need, don’ttake more than you need, leave somefor others and leave some for the dish.For you to be happy, the dish must behappy.Trait Stewardship ResponsibilitiesNotice to FarmersThis approach is based on abundance,social justice and ecology. Itcomes from a spiritual connection tofood that is often lost in today’s world.Hill said growing food is one of thebest forms of medicine because if it isdone well, it involves meditation, anopen mind, compassion and realigningone’s self with the relationshipswe have with the earth.The creation stories of the Haudenosauneeconnect women withplants, and as such, “women are theeconomic engine in our community.”Men are connected with meat,with venison. Regeneration of societybegins with an exchange of foodbetween men and women, bothgroups working together.“To navigate this world, we needinherited knowledge,” Hill said.Sometimes the information is hardto access.“If you use your mind in the rightway, it is all there for you. You have towork, but it is there.”This work can be emotionallydraining, and Hill said it may notnecessarily be cost effective. However,it is necessary to heal the gulfbetween people, the food supply andthe natural world.Hill said the garden and the fieldtells us what we need. Some weedsmay not be good, but they may bethere to show us that more work isneeded. Other “weeds” may be therebecause they bring the medicine weneed. Even the crops themselves maybe showing us what we need. Onetype of corn, the old grandfather orgrandmother corn, with seeds thatcome up and over the tip, has medicinalvalue. Beans are important inrelieving diabetes.The lessons of the Haudenosauneeinclude a personal and spiritual connectionto food.“The love the creator felt for us ispart of our traditional food,” Hill said.You can’t say, “I grow corn,” in hislanguage. You can only say, “I put theseed in the ground and the corngrows.” The corn has its own spirit.Still, the work of the people isimportant.“What we’re doing is to restore thehealth of the dish.”Organic agriculture also needs toreconnect with its traditions of care,relationship, social justice and listeningto the lessons around us.“The only antidote to stupidity is tohave a relationship with right thinking,”Hill said. “Over there is insanity,and if you bang your head on thatwall, you will get a headache. Overhere is fertile earth. Where do youwant to spend your time?”Brenda Frick, Ph.D., P.Ag. is an extensionagrologist and researcher in organicagriculture.

NEWSTHE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | FEBRUARY 21, 2013 93U.S. MEAT PRODUCTION | FEED CONSUMPTIONU.S. meat production may drain feed suppliesLow feed inventories| USDA report revisesred meat and poultryproduction upwardBY GAVIN MAGUIREREUTERS MARKET ANALYSTCHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — One ofthe most important updates in thelatest U.S. crop report was outside thecrop realm and in the meat productionarena.The U.S. Department of Agricultureraised its estimate of U.S. redmeat and poultry production bynearly a billion pounds from the previousmonth’s projection, indicatingthat the animal feeding industry isnot contracting but is in fact expandingits consumption of feed supplies.The recent weakening in grain andoilseed prices will only serve to sustainthat trend.However, with feed grain inventoriesin the U.S. at their lowest levels inclose to 20 years, something willeventually have to give or domesticsupplies of critical crop staples willrun the risk of being depleted beforeU.S. farmers have a chance to replenishthem.Soaring grain and oilseed prices in2012 raised expectations that wavesof demand destruction would ensue,especially in the corn market wheredomestic inventories shrank tomulti-year lows and corn pricessurged above $8 a bushel for the firsttime.And certainly there have beensome high-profile examples of a softeningin corn demand in recentmonths, especially in the ethanoland export industries.However, while regular usagereports allowed market trackers tofollow that slowdown in ethanol andexport demand, no such monitoringThe cattle feeding sector in the United States doesn’t seem to be worrying about higher feed grain prices. | FILE PHOTOinformation exists for corn used bythe feed industry.Instead, analysts and forecastersrely on anecdotal evidence and suppositionwhen projecting usage ratesby cattle and animal feeders.Even so, a consensus emerged latelast year among private forecasters aswell as at the USDA that the livestockindustry would indeed contract inline with the ethanol industry inresponse to the high input prices.Similar projections were forecast inthe poultry sector where corn andother high-priced feeds are also onthe menu.So it came as a surprise to see theUSDA upwardly revise its 2012 U.S.red meat and poultry productionprojections for the fourth month in arow and its 2013 production estimatesfor the second month in a row,and by more than 2.3 billion lb. sinceDecember.These revisions suggest that themeat production industries seem tobe defying expectations and areengaged in expansionary drivesrather than contracting.What’s more, the USDA’s latest estimatefor 2013 poultry production is arecord, suggesting that the U.S. poultryindustry is in far better healththan many grain analysts may havepredicted.The growth in U.S. meat productionbegs the question: what are theseanimals being fed? And the answer ofcourse is a lot of things, but primarilyfeed grain, soybean meal and distillersdried grain, which is a byproductof ethanol production.The enduring strength in meatproduction in recent months suggeststhat feedlot managers havebeen able to mix up animal rationsover the past year so as to pare backuse of certain ingredients wheneverthat commodity gets too expensive,while increasing portions of lessexpensive items.The problem is, this varied dietapproach has led to a sharp drawdownin inventories of all major U.S.feed grain ingredients, including hay,barley, oats and sorghum as well asthe more conventional options suchas corn, wheat and meal.What’s more, the apparent contractionin the U.S. ethanol industry,which recently reduced weekly productionto its lowest level on recordamid industry-wide margin pressure,will result in a drop in DDGoutput that will further exacerbateany feed supply tightness in theweeks and months ahead.With lower DDG supplies likely toresult in higher demand for otheringredients, the collective supply offeed grains looks set to be depletedfurther in the months ahead if thefeed industry keeps its foot on theexpansion pedal.That in turn should serve to underpinfeed grain prices and potentiallyreverse the recent downward bias tocrop prices, especially if U.S. growersfail to seed their crops in a timelymanner this spring.It may ultimately send signals tofeeders to slow down their collectivegrain consumption pace.But for the time being, U.S. meatproducers seem intent on crankingup meat output and chewingthrough grain supplies regardless ofhow tight feed inventories may be.Now your glyphosate can blast even the toughest weeds with thehelp of Nuance ® – designed specifically to turn up the heat onyour glyphosate for pre-seed burndown.

(Reuters) — TheNational Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration is holding to its viewthat the El Niño climate phenomenonshould pose few weather problemsin the Northern Hemispherethrough spring.In its monthly report, the NOAAsaid prediction models point to aneutral forecast through spring,though it has less confidence in itsoutlook for summer.While maintaining a neutral outlook,the report added that temperaturevariations in both the oceanand atmosphere increased duringJanuary.Many forecasts showed belowaveragewarmth in the eastern PacificOcean, but by late January otherswere pointing to warmer sea watersexpanding toward the central PacificOcean.The much-feared El Niño weatherphenomenon heats up the tropicalocean in East Asia, sending warm airinto the United States and SouthAmerica and often causing floodingand heavy rain.It can also trigger drought in SoutheastAsia and Australia, which producesome of the world’s major foodstaples, such as sugar cane andgrains.However, meteorologists thinkthe weather patterns are too weakat this point to look for either ElNiño or the La Niña phenomenon,which arises from cooler sea temperatures.“Despite these transient featurescontributing to cool conditions, thecollective atmospheric and oceanicsystem reflects ENSO (El Niño)-neutral,” NOAA said.

John Campbell, department head at the Western College ofVeterinary Medicine, shown here, is a member of the committee thatis developing the code. Public input on the draft will be accepted untilMarch 8. | FILE PHOTOBRANDON — Many of Canada’scattle regulations and approvedpractices were formulated decadesago and are badly outdated, say beefindustry leaders.They told Manitoba Beef Producers’recent annual meeting that the1970s-era rules have Canada’s officialsituation way out of kilter withthose of other countries and out ofstep with what most farmers think isright, which leaves them open toattack by animal welfare activists.For example, current regulationsallow cattle to be transported withoutbreaks for 52 hours, or 57 hours ifthey have been watered just beforeboarding a truck.“That’s a bit too damned long,” saidcattle farmer Larry Clifford.Canadian Food Inspection Agencyveterinarian Jim Clark said Australiancattle can be shipped up to 24hours, American cattle 28 to 36hours, New Zealand cattle 12 hoursand European Union cattle only eighthours.New, tighter but more generallyacceptable regulations are ready tobe implemented, Clark said, andwould help defend cattle producersagainst attacks by critics.The way things stand now, thosecritics could not only attack specificinstances of alleged animal abuse,but also attack industry rules thatdon’t fit contemporary mores.“If we’ve got good regulatory framework,if we have good codes of practice,it kind of defuses some of theseJim Clark of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency told farmers that newcattle regulations are ready to be introduced. | ED WHITE PHOTOemotional arguments,” said Clark.Canadian Cattlemen’s Associationwelfare specialist Ryder Lee agreed,describing a soon-to-be-updatedcattle code of practice as a standardby which both good producers andoffenders can be judged. An out-ofdatecode undermines confidence infarmers and the industry.If the industry doesn’t appear tohave good rules, a future crisis couldeasily lead to harsh governmentactions that could hurt farmers for along time.“If something goes off the rails hardenough, legislators will make changequicker than we can even get out ofbed and react to it,” said Lee, notingthe B.C. government’s swift responseto the killing of sled dogs.Farmer Don Guilford said producershave a wide range of opinionsabout what is and is not an acceptableway to transport livestock, andmost just want to know what theyshould be doing.“As producers, we want to knowwhere we stand and what the expectationsare,” said Guilford.Lee said new regulations and theRYDER LEECANADIANCATTLEMEN’SASSOCIATIONnew code of practice will be loose onspecific instructions, focusing insteadon the results of whateveractions farmers take.

Instead, farmerswill be judged by welfare and conditionof their animals.“What we’re not trying to do with thecode of practice is have (rules on) howto farm, how to raise cattle, a manualthat touches everything,” said Lee.He said farmers should check theproposed changes to the code ofpractice to ensure they’re feasible.“Have a look through there.”Clark said revised transport regulationsare also ready to be implemented.“We do have draft regulations readyto go.”BEEF CODE | INPUT WANTEDCommittee looks for input into draft beef codeBY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAUThe committee that formulated thedraft beef code of practice is askingfor wide input, said one committeemember.The draft opened for public commentJan. 8 and will close March 8.Ryder Lee of the Canadian Cattlemen’sAssociation told a Feb. 13webinar hosted by Alberta Beef Producersthat more than 100 peoplehave already commented on thedraft and 20 percent had self-identifiedthemselves as animal welfareadvocates.Anyone interested in the code iswelcome to comment, Lee told thoseparticipating in the webinar, but hesaid cattle producers should take aparticular interest to ensure the codeaddresses the practical nature of raisingand feeding cattle.The draft code includes both requirementsand recommendationspertaining to breeding, environment,animal health, husbandry andeuthanasia. “It’s kind of the circle oflife,” said Lee.“Husbandry is probably the mostdifficult issue for the industry.”That section of the draft codeinvolves animal handling, use ofprods, branding and the use of paincontrol when castrating or dehorningolder animals.Lee said the code, once finalized,will be used as a supportingdocument in cases where producersare accused of poor animalhandling. Those operating outsidethe code would likely face tougherpenalties.On the flip side, the code may alsoprovide protection for producerswho are managing animals inaccepted ways.“We have seen beef incidents andbeef videos and cow videos that aredepicted as usual business, andbeing able to point to a code of practiceand say, ‘no, that’s not acceptableto our industry,’ is important for us asan industry to continue having thefreedom to raise animals the way wesee fit.”Review and comment on the codecan be done online or by printing outthe document and submitting writtencomment, said Lee.He encouraged people to use theform so all committee members canreview input once the public commentperiod is over.“Make sure you put in the feedback,and at least read it, and if you’ve gotnothing to say, that’s cool too, but I’dbe surprised,” Lee said.The draft code and comment formare available through the ABP websiteand at www.nfacc.ca/codes-ofpractice/beef-cattle.The comment period for the equinedraft code of practice ended Feb. 14.

Thetotal value was $305 million fornearly 80,000 tonnes, a large increaseover 2011.As part of the World Trade Organizationagreement, Russia agreedto increase the U.S. tariff rate quotato 60,000 tonnes at 15 percent tariff.In 2011, it was a 41,700 tonnequota.However, shipments have slowedseverely since the ban.The technology that is used to producemore meat is needed to feed ahungry world, even though sometrading partners reject them, saidSteve Isaf, chair of the meat exportfederation.“We need these technologies in thiscountry and in the world,” he saidduring an exporters committeemeeting at the convention.“The problem is that we also have tomeet the demands and interests ofour customers worldwide and whattheir preferences are.”He suspects many consumers donot know much about these products.The disputes are often betweengovernments.“If we abandon those technologiesentirely, in 10 years, one day we willwake up and wish that we had thembecause we will need a big input,” hesaid.While the disputes with Russiacontinue, wider access to the Japanesebeef market was considered ahard won victory.Horlick said part of the Japanesedecision to extend access for beeffrom animals younger than 30months instead of younger than 20months was connected to its desireto enter the Trans Pacific Partnership.Japan’s 38.5 percent beef tariffwould fall rapidly if it entered thatlarger agreement.In addition, the U.S. will push forfull World Organization for AnimalHealth access, which would allow allbeef into a country as long as thereare certain food safety safeguards tokeep BSE out of the product.This announcement could alsoopen the door to China, said Isaf, whoowns an international food tradingcompany with three offices in China.Beef is entering Hong Kong, but Chinais unrelenting.

Because far-rowing is the basis of the rest of theproductive system, that’s what shouldbe made a priority.MANITOBA SWINE SEMINAR | FOOD SAFETYNeedles hurt industryAlways carry a marker.That’s one of the simple steps hogbarn workers can take to eliminatethe risk of broken needles ending upin the processing line at the slaughterplants, says Maple Leaf pig procurementmanager Robert Mackay.“Just mark the pig,” Mackay saidduring a presentation at the ManitobaSwine Seminar.“Have a marker with you so that ifyou do break a needle, you can markthat pig right away.”Advances in needles and improvementsin worker skill mean few brokenneedles end up in carcasses atthe packing plant these days, butpublic sensitivity about food safetyissues is also much higher.Mackay said no one can afford tosee a needle point end up in themeat at the grocery store.“Just one incident of needle fragmentsin pork can have a pretty devastatingeffect for our industry.”A needle point was recently foundin a pig at the Maple Leaf plant inBrandon, causing the company toissue a warning to producers.There is little reason for producersto deliberately attempt to sneakthrough needle-containing pigs.Maple Leaf compensates producersfor pigs put down because of brokenneedle points.“We don’t want the producer toship the pig,” said Mackay.The Brandon plant contains X-rayand metal detection machinery tocatch needles, but that’s not a 100percent guarantee.Marking a pig immediately so itdoesn’t get lost amongst its penmates is essential, Mackay said. Thatway the pig can be euthanized anddisposed of before ending up in theslaughter line.It helps for injections to be done bytwo people because then there issomeone to catch problems like abroken needle.Workers should also ensure thatthe needle is still attached whenmoving to the next pig, that it is notbent and that it does not have burrs.Workers should never attempt tostraighten a bent needle. Instead,they should carry spares.Mackay said all barn workersshould be regularly reminded aboutgood needling practices, and everyoneshould watch the ManitobaPork Council’s DVD on safe injectionpractices.“There are no more excuses forneedle fragments in pork.”

Affected sheep display abnormalbehaviour, including aggression,weakness, trouble walking and trembling.Scrapie is named for its tendencyto make sheep itchy, which promptsthem to scrape out their wool. Thisitchiness seems to be more of aproblem in Europe than in Canada.Death follows a few weeks to sixmonths after clinical signs begin.Signs of scrapie can be subtle, so”testing all poor-doing and dead animalsolder than one year is recommended.Affected flocks have five percentscrapie-associated mortality, but upto 20 percent annual mortality hasbeen reported in exceptional circumstances.Scrapie is transmitted from infectedewes and nannies to their youngand herd mates through contaminatedbirth fluids and placentas.Environmental contamination is animportant route of infection.Infected replacement females canbe introduced unwittingly into agroup and spread the disease whenthey give birth.Microscopic slides of brain, lymphDutch Openers is very focused on product quality and performance.Not to mention that their customer service is excellent.“JACK WHETTER, KERROBERT, SKINCREASE YOURYIELD THIS SEASONScrapie affects the brains and spinal cords of sheep and goats. | FILE PHOTOnodes and spleen are used to diagnosescrapie.Lymphoid biopsies, which are takenfrom the third eyelid of live ani-Dutch Openers provides durable, accurate openers, tips and seed brakes for grainfarmers.

Cases are also reported tothe World Organization for AnimalHealth.Eradication efforts in Canada are inline with current efforts in the UnitedKingdom and United States, which isimportant to maintain unrestrictedtrade.The Canadian eradication programhas been in place since 2005. It is apartnership between sheep and goatproducer organizations and theCFIA.Scrapie was identified in 11 Canadiansheep flocks last year, but nogoat herds. Half were in Ontario, fourin Quebec and one in Alberta. Onlyseven sheep flocks were affected in2011.No treatment or vaccine is availablefor scrapie, so infected flocks arequarantined and all individual animalshumanely euthanized to preventdisease spread. Compensationis available in Canada.Unlike BSE, there is no scientificevidence to suggest scrapie cancause disease in people.The fairly recent discovery ofgenetic resistance in sheep has stimulatedinterest in exploring selectivebreeding to minimize the effects ofthe disease.A blood test can determine the relativesusceptibility of an individual toscrapie, and breeding choices can bebased on increasing the herd’s overallresistance to the disease.Selective breeding for scrapie resistancehas not produced significantnegative effects in terms of growth,meat quality and fertility.Canada’s Voluntary Scrapie FlockCertification Program requiresannual testing for the disease.In addition, participating herdsmust be either closed or limit newanimal acquisitions to those fromflocks with equal or higher status tominimize the risk of introducing thedisease into their flocks.The CFIA recommends sheep andgoat producers implement goodmanagement and biosecurity practicessuch as keeping records, animalidentification, removing sick andbirthing animals from the maingroup, pen and equipment hygieneand single-use needles.Persistent efforts to eliminate thisdisease in individual herds andongoing measures to prevent reintroductionshould lead to successfuleradication.Dr. Jamie Rothenburger is a veterinarypathology resident at the Western Collegeof Veterinary Medicine, University ofSaskatchewan.

It’s not arecommended attitude given theimportance of preventive care, Iknow.However, I do practice on-ranchpreventive care, old-fashioned remediesoutside the realm of medicalmiracles and prescribed panaceas.I get a lot of exercise, some in theregular course of the day on a not-soautomatedranch and some where Iactually pick up my weary bones andforce myself to move around for funand the health of it.They say riding horse is good exercise.The rider doesn’t get as much ofa workout as the horse but it tones upthe muscles that keep you from fallingoff, and it’s good for the head —most times.I was recently riding horse to get thekids outside for some fresh winter air.I was pulling them on a “sled” — thehood of an old pickup, actually —behind the horse and going at a goodlope.It was good, clean fun until we suddenlydiscovered a three foot deepbull hole underneath the snow. By“we” I mean the horse and me. Bullholes under the snow don’t bothersledders.It was quite a wreck when we discoveredthe hole, hindquarters overteakettle, or pick another anatomicalexpression, as the saying goes.The horse went down, plowedsnow with his nose and began to rollsideways. In similar top-heavy fashion,I got free of the stirrups (a goodthing) and with a strong gravitationalpull my head went through the snowand made firm, sudden contact withfrozen Mother Earth (a not so goodthing).As the snow fog settled, three littlevoices piped up.“Are you okay Dad?”“Um, groan, yeah, I think so.”The horse stood there and didn’trun home. I mounted back up, we dida little more sledding and called it aday.The next day, I realized I couldn’tturn my head anymore. And that’s ahandy thing to be able to do whenyou want to see something besideswhat’s straight ahead. Sleep was a bittortured, and waking up felt worse,not better.After 42 years of chiropractor-freeliving, I decided to give one a call andwe worked in an appointment withanother trip I had to make anyway.The X-rays looked good. Mayberanch life wasn’t so hard on me. Hesaid some of the worst X-rays he seesare from people who sit at a desk allday, every day.He did some other tests. I thoughthe was talking about the ear tag numbersof cows — C2, T5, L4 — but Iguess it had something to with littlebones in my back and neck.Then he put me down face first, Itook a deep breath, and just when Iwas getting comfortable, KA POW!CRACK! UFF DA!I kind of knew it was coming, but,still, I didn’t know if I should laugh orcry. I laughed. That’s usually the oneI pick.He did that little trick a few moretimes and then hooked me up to somekind of converted electrical fencer towork on the muscles around my neck.If lightning takes out our electricfencer on the ranch, I’m going to seeChoose your best defenseif I can borrow his.They sent me off with an appointmentcard to come back again in acouple days. They always do, don’tthey? But here’s the end of the story: Ican turn my head again, I feel prettygood and I’m ready for the nextwreck.Would it have gotten better on itsown? I don’t know. But I learnedsomething, I feel better and I was ableto write a column about it.

Thedeal is subject to competition bureauapproval in both countries, which isexpected before the end of the secondquarter of 2013.Jana Partners LLC, Agrium’s largestshareholder with a six percent ownershipstake in the company, is displeasedwith the appointments.It has been highly critical of Agrium’smanagement and its board of directors.Jana wants the fertilizer companyto spin off the retail side of its businessand focus on manufacturing.MAYO SCHMIDTFORMER VITERRAPRESIDENTIn November, the New York hedgefund put forward a slate of five candidatesit handpicked for Agrium’sboard, including former Canadianagriculture minister Lyle Vanclief.Agrium spokesperson RichardDowney said it will be up to shareholdersto either reaffirm Agrium’sselections or choose Jana’s candidatesat the company’s annual generalmeeting, which usually takesplace in early May.“Shareholders will vote for one orthe other. We’ve never had a proxycontest at Agrium before,” he said.Agrium reached out to Jana beforemaking the board appointments tosee if the two parties could find anegotiated solution, but discussionsbroke down after three days and thecompany proceeded with its selectionsof Schmidt and Everitt.Jana issued a terse news releasestating that Agrium’s litmus test for itsdirectors was that it wouldn’t questionmanagement’s prior performanceor ongoing strategy.“In other words, (they) would agreeto abdicate a director’s primary function,”said Jana in a statement.Jana said Agrium appears to befinally acknowledging that thereneeds to be change at the board tablewithout embracing actual change inthe form of independent voices whowill push for shareholder-friendlyimprovements“We are highly confident thatshareholders will see through Agrium’slatest hollow attempt to fight offreal value-maximizing change,” saidthe hedge fund.Schmidt did not respond to aninterview request for this article.Agrium said in a news release it hadproposed allowing Jana to name oneof its director candidates to the boardin addition to Agrium’s selections. Inreturn, Jana would drop its pursuit ofthe break-up of the company alongwith its other activist interests.Agrium claims Jana initially agreedto the terms but then reneged at thelast minute, insisting on appointingtwo of its director nominees, whichprompted the fertilizer company toterminate discussions.“We are disappointed in Jana’s decisionto prolong this fight, which it iscertain to lose. Shareholders are clearlynot supportive of Jana’s initiative tobreak up Agrium,” said Agrium chiefexecutive officer Michael Wilson.Jana said Agrium’s allegations surroundingthe negotiations are false.Jana claims it broke off negotiationswhen Agrium refused to address theperformance issues it had identifiedand revealed names of directors Janafelt were unacceptable.Jana has a history of getting what itwants. It has won similar campaignsat Marathon Petroleum Corp. andMcGraw-Hill Companies.Agrium is confident shareholdersare on its side, but the company hasalready made concessions that Janawas asking for and recently held a 4.5hour meeting with investment analystsin New York, where Wilson discusseda 106 page document refutingJana’s criticisms of the company.How the proxy battle unfolds coulddetermine the kind of companywestern Canadian farmers deal within the future when they buy their cropinputs because Jana wants to spin offthe retail assets, including the newlyacquired Viterra assets.Agrium expects to pay $575 millionfor Viterra’s 263 retail outlets, 232 ofwhich are in Canada. That is a multipleof 5.75 times the estimated 2011earnings before income, taxes,depreciation and amortization forViterra’s agribusiness operations.The net purchase price reflects thepending sale of Agrium’s 34 percentinterest in Canadian Fertilizers Ltd.,Canada’s largest nitrogen fertilizerplant, which it also received in theViterra transaction.Agrium has agreed to sell its sharein the Medicine Hat, Alta., facility toCF Industries, which already ownsthe remaining 66 percent of the plant,for $915 million.

(Reuters) — Deere &Co. says it is expecting a modestincrease in sales for the year, disappointinginvestors who thought theprospect of a record U.S. corn cropwould have meant better results.Shares fell 3.5 percent because thecompany’s forecast suggested ongoingconcerns about the global economyand equipment purchases for therest of the year.“(The) near-term outlook is beingtempered by uncertainties over fiscal,economic and trade issues thatare undermining business confidenceand restraining growth,” saidchief executive officer Samuel Allen.A record corn crop might seem likeit would boost sales for a companylike Deere. U.S. Department of Agricultureofficials recently predictedthe biggest such crop in history ifthere is normal weather this summer.However, all that corn could pressureprices for the staple commodity.Deere cut its forecast for corn pricesin 2013 to $5.25 per bushel from itsearlier projection of $6.Lower prices would mean a drop intotal farm cash receipts. Farmerswith less cash cannot spend as muchon equipment, even if they have toharvest a lot of corn.“Having a big crop is nice, but itmeans that the price will be a littlelower,” Jefferies & Co. analyst StephenVolkmann said.Deere said company equipmentsales should rise six percent for thefiscal year. It also forecast netincome for the year of $3.3 billion,$100 million higher than its previousoutlook.“Deere’s strong quarter and guidanceraise were expected, but thefocus now shifts toward yields andcorn prices,” William Blair & Co. LLCanalyst Lawrence De Maria said.First-quarter net income rose to$649.7 million, or $1.65 per share,from $532.9 million, or $1.30 pershare, a year earlier.Analysts had expected first-quarterearnings of $1.40 per share, accordingto Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.Total revenue rose 10 percent to$7.42 billion, ahead of the $6.72 billionanalysts had expected.Wells Fargo Securities LLC analystAndrew Casey said Deere’s latest netincome forecast implied full-year2013 earnings of $8.40 per share,above Wall Street’s expectations of$8.37.The forecast, however, translated toa profit of $6.75 per share for the lastthree quarters, below expectations of$6.97, Casey said.In addition to the less robust overallsales view, Deere’s European salesare likely to decline this year becauseof weak economic conditions andbad weather in Britain, spokespersonSusan Karlix said.The company said it expected fullyearsales of agricultural machineryto fall five percent in Europe.Analysts also took note of highercosts and a seven percent decline inthe first quarter in Deere’s constructionand forestry sales, which makeup one-fifth of the company’s totalrevenue.“Forestry is weak and Deere isaggressively trying to get marketshare in Europe,” BMO Capital Marketsanalyst Joel Tiss said.“They’re probably losing somemoney or selling stuff cheaper thanthey should.”MEDICAL COSTS | PLAN OPTIONSHow to keep family healthy without breaking the bankTAKING CARE OF BUSINESSCOLIN MILLERA private health servicesplan offers tax benefitsAs a farmer, you manage thefinances of your business andknow how hard it is to earnand keep a dollar these days.Even tougher is spending that hardearned money on paying dental billsand medical expenses for you andyour family. The key is to get the mostout of your money, just as with anyspending decision.With effective planning, theseexpenses can turn into a tax savingsopportunity for you and your business.Many of us pay for medical expensesright out of our pockets. Thismoney is after-tax and as such, $100in medical expenses could cost you$150 pre-tax.This cost creates a medical expensetax credit, but limitations apply.An alternative option is to obtaintraditional health insurance. Undermost plans, you pay periodic premiumsto the insurance provider. Inexchange, the provider reimbursesqualifying medical expenses.This option is an effective alternativeto paying for the costs yourself,but the premiums can often be higherthan the medical costs. This leavesyou with less money than if you paidfor the medical service directly.Health insurance premiums canalso be used as a tax credit, but thetax savings from the credit may notoffset the additional costs of the premiums.There is potential to deduct thepremiums paid against self-employmentincome if you operate yourfarm as a sole-proprietorship or partnership,as opposed to taking themedical credit.However, the amount that is deductiblevaries depending on howmuch of the premiums you cover foremployees who are not family members.If your operation has no unrelatedemployees, the deductible portion iscapped at $1,500 each for you andyour spouse and $750 for each child.Depending on the family and theoperation, this is hardly enough tocover the costs of medical expenses.An alternative option is a privatehealth services plan, which requiresspecial tax planning.If your business is registered undersuch a plan, you would personallysubmit claims to the PHSP, as well ascheques to cover medical expensesand administrative fees.The PHSP then mails a cheque forthe full amount of the expense to youpersonally, which you receive taxfree.Your company is then able to claimthe amount equal to the medical andadministrative fee as a deduction,like any other expense.This transfer of cash allows for 100percent of the costs to be deductedby your business. The deductionprovides greater tax savings than themedical credit can offer in mostcases. Also, the amounts the PHSPpays to you personally are tax free.Therefore, by using a PHSP, you getmoney out of your business, tax free,to pay your personal medical expenses,while your business benefits fromthe tax deduction.A PHSP can be used on its own or incombination with existing groupinsurance coverage.Procedures that you would otherwisenot be able to claim in a traditionalhealth plan are sometimeseligible for coverage through a PHSP.These plans can be a great way toreduce costs, customize benefits andmaximize tax deductibility.PHSPs are simple to use, regardlessof the size of the business.Different employees can receivedifferent levels of coverage, or nocoverage at all, but the operation hasto offer it to all of the employees toqualify.The size or type of business has nobearing on eligibility: companies,partnerships and sole-proprietorshipsare all eligible.These plans can also be a great toolfor retaining farm employees.If the PHSP administrator is not atax specialist, I strongly recommendyou seek the advice of a qualified taxpractitioner who will be able toreview the plan and ensure it meetsall criteria and clarify the eligibility of100 CARS FOR 100 YEARSNO RESERVE AUCTION – Proceeds to supportthe Centennial Entrepreneurial Legacy Fund!FRIDAY JUNE 21, 20132 p.m. – 8 p.m. Public Viewing of the AutoCollection at Olds Ag Society5 p.m. – 10 p.m. Centennial Celebrations in the OldsCentennial ParkSATURDAY JUNE 22, 201310 a.m. – 5 p.m. Trade Show, Cruise Night, PublicViewing of the Auto Collection atOlds Ag Society6 p.m. – 1 a.m. Night of Cars Dinner, Dance andFundraiser at Olds Ag SocietySUNDAY JUNE 23, 201310 a.m. Start LIVE AUCTION at Olds Ag Society10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Trade Show, Show & Shine,Swap Meet at Olds Ag SocietyAuctioneers: Michener Allen Auctioneering Ltd.VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
