Puratone | Farmers<br />
seek $1 million in<br />
unsecured losses<br />
BY ROBERT ARNASON<br />
BRANDON BUREAU<br />
It’s ironic to Chris Nordal that the<br />
Bank of Montreal announced quarterly<br />
profits of $1.1 billion Dec. 4.<br />
<strong>The</strong> irony would be comical if the<br />
farmer from Arborg, Man., wasn’t out<br />
$62,800 at the same time that BMO<br />
increased its quarterly net income 41<br />
percent.<br />
In September, Nordal delivered<br />
$62,800 worth of winter wheat to<br />
Puratone, just before the Manitoba<br />
hog production company entered<br />
creditor protection.<br />
In November, Maple Leaf Foods<br />
bought Puratone for $42 million, but<br />
the hog company owes $86 million to<br />
secured creditors, including BMO<br />
and Farm Credit Canada.<br />
On Dec. 3, Nordal learned at a Keystone<br />
Agricultural <strong>Producer</strong>s meeting<br />
in Arborg that neither Puratone nor<br />
Maple Leaf will compensate farmers<br />
who delivered grain to Puratone but<br />
never received payment. Meanwhile,<br />
BMO announced Dec. 4 that its fourth<br />
quarter net income increased 41 percent,<br />
relative to 2011.<br />
“BMO reported $1.1 billion (profits)<br />
in the last quarter,” Nordal said.<br />
“I don’t know, they’re the secured<br />
creditors and we’re unsecured…. On<br />
our farm, this (loss of $62,800) represents<br />
20 percent of the gross farm<br />
income.”<br />
It’s unlikely he’ll ever recoup his<br />
losses, but Nordal has joined 20 other<br />
Manitoba farmers who delivered<br />
grain to Puratone but haven’t<br />
received payment.<br />

TRADE | COOL<br />
WTO issues<br />
deadline on<br />
U.S. labelling<br />
Few expect the Americans<br />
to comply in time<br />
BY BARRY WILSON<br />
& BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />
OTTAWA, CALGARY BUREAUS<br />
A World Trade Organization arbitrator<br />
has ordered the United States<br />
to change its country-of-origin labelling<br />
rules by May 23, or else.<br />
However, since few expect the<br />
Americans to comply in time, what “or<br />
else” means becomes a key question.<br />
<strong>The</strong> likely outcome is months more<br />
of WTO compliance hearings after<br />
May 23.<br />
More than a year ago, a WTO trade<br />
dispute panel initiated by Canada<br />
with the support of 14 other countries,<br />
ruled that COOL was a protectionist<br />
policy and not consumer<br />
education as the U.S. claimed.<br />
With no movement on the issue<br />
from the United States, Canada<br />
requested arbitration and on Dec. 4,<br />
the WTO ordered May 23 implementation<br />
of changes.<br />

PURATONE | FROM PAGE ONE<br />
Manitoba farmers meet<br />
<strong>The</strong> group, known as Disgruntled<br />
Farmers Seek Justice, has hired a lawyer<br />
with Tapper Cuddy in Winnipeg.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y intend to file a lawsuit to recover<br />
cumulative losses of $1 million.<br />
While the group has retained counsel,<br />
no court action had been started<br />
at press time and the allegations are<br />
unproven.<br />
“Do I expect payment? No I don’t.<br />
But it’s a matter of principle and I<br />
don’t want to give up,” Nordal said.<br />
Like many producers in the group,<br />
Nordal alleges that Puratone, BMO<br />
and Farm Credit Canada discussed<br />
creditor protection well before the<br />
company officially applied for protection<br />
in September.<br />
“This ship didn’t sink overnight,” he<br />
claimed. “Puratone may have filed for<br />
creditor protection Sept. 12 but this<br />
required months of planning.”<br />
Deloitte and Touche is acting as the<br />
court appointed monitor, overseeing<br />
the creditor protection process. In its<br />
third report in this role, Deloitte noted<br />
that Puratone initiated a Sale and Investor<br />
Solicitation Process (SISP) last<br />
spring to find buyers for the company.<br />
“Prior to the CCAA (creditor protection)<br />
proceedings, the applicants<br />
(Puratone) had engaged EYI (financial<br />
advisers) to facilitate the SISP,<br />
which commenced in May 2012,”<br />
Deloitte wrote, adding BMO and<br />
FCC were part of the process to find a<br />
buyer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> monitor also understands<br />
that the SISP was carried out in consultation<br />
with the applicant’s (Puratone)<br />
senior secured lenders, BMO<br />
and FCC.”<br />
Vic Kroeger, director of corporate<br />
recovery, <strong>Western</strong> Canada, for<br />
Meyers Norris Penny, said it’s normal<br />
for major secured creditors to<br />
play a role in how a debtor company<br />
enters creditor protection.<br />
“And well they should,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re owed the most money.”<br />
John Sigurdson, a producer from<br />
Riverton, Man., who is leading Disgruntled<br />
Farmers Seek Justice, said<br />
Puratone could have filed for creditor<br />
protection in August. Instead, he<br />
alleged, the company chose a more<br />
opportune time.<br />
“Puratone and their bank creditors<br />
could have chosen to go under CCAA<br />
(Companies’ Creditors Arrangement<br />
Act) one month earlier,” said<br />
Sigurdson, who delivered $60,000<br />
worth of winter wheat to Puratone.<br />
“But if they had chosen that time<br />
period, they couldn’t have filled their<br />
(grain) bins beforehand because<br />
Correction<br />
there was no grain on the farms.”<br />
Sigurdson said Puratone repeatedly<br />
called a number of farmers<br />
within the group, asking them to<br />
deliver grain. As well, in some cases,<br />
Puratone offered producers a premium<br />
over market prices for their<br />
feed grain, he added.<br />
Sigurdson said the cost of pursuing<br />
legal action is well worth the additional<br />
expense.<br />
“Even though we end up losing in<br />
the end, we have to make the point<br />
that big companies can’t just run<br />
roughshod over farmers.”<br />
If there are other Manitoba farmers<br />
who delivered grain to Puratone and<br />
never received payment, Sigurdson<br />
said they can join Disgruntled Farmers<br />
Seek Justice up to Dec. 21.<br />
Puratone could not be reached for<br />
comment Dec. 10.<br />
FARM CREDIT CANADA’S<br />
STATEMENT ON PURATONE<br />
CREDITOR PROTECTION AND<br />
AFFECTED FARMERS:<br />
“Creditor protection is a court<br />
approved process and FCC was simply<br />
one of the participants. We understand<br />
and sympathize with all of those<br />
impacted. <strong>The</strong> hog industry has gone<br />
through an unprecedented downturn<br />
and as a result a number of producers<br />
have been forced to restructure.<br />
“This does have spin-off effects. <strong>The</strong><br />
restructuring that Puratone is going<br />
through has been under the supervision<br />
of the courts and we trust that<br />
the interests of all parties will be<br />
addressed as fairly as possible.<br />
“It’s our hope that after the restructuring<br />
of Puratone and others, that<br />
the industry, as a whole, will be<br />
stronger and will be sustainable over<br />
the long-term. <strong>The</strong> hog industry is<br />
important to Manitoba and Canada as<br />
a source of food and a source of revenue<br />
for those who supply feed grains<br />
and inputs.”<br />
STATEMENT FROM BMO<br />
SPOKESPERSON RALPH<br />
MARRANCA<br />
“It’s my understanding that Puratone,<br />
at its sole election, filed under the<br />
Companies’ Creditors Arrangement<br />
Act, a process managed for it by<br />
Deloitte and overseen by the court.<br />
Deloitte in Winnipeg is wholly responsible<br />
for addressing all monetary<br />
claims.”<br />
A story on page 77 of the Dec. 6 issue should have reported that Allen Godenir<br />
had a durum yield of 38.1 bushels per acre, rather than 30.1.<br />

FOOD PRODUCTION | WORLD HUNGER<br />
BY ROBIN BOOKER<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
<strong>The</strong> Global Institute for Food Security<br />
expects to bring new research<br />
money to Saskatchewan and improve<br />
local and global food systems.<br />
<strong>The</strong> institute, established at the<br />
University of Saskatchewan, hopes to<br />
make itself heard on policy initiatives<br />
to improve interactions between the<br />
various parts of the food system.<br />
It will also conduct agronomic<br />
research, including breeding for<br />
higher yield, improving processing<br />
traits, looking at how soil quality<br />
affects the nutritional value of crops<br />
and adapting prairie zone crops to<br />
available soil and water.<br />
PotashCorp contributed $35 million<br />
to the institute, which is the largest<br />
donation in the company’s history,<br />
while the provincial government committed<br />
$15 million over seven years.<br />
University president Ilene Busch-<br />
Vishniac said during a Dec. 10 ceremony<br />
that the institute will use a system-wide<br />
approach to improving<br />
food security, not just by improved<br />
crop production but also by promoting<br />
new policies that help ensure<br />
food gets to where it’s needed.<br />
“Unlike some existing food security<br />
institutes, who focus on a piece of the<br />
problems, we are determined to find<br />
solutions across the entire food system<br />
— from field to fork,” Busch-<br />
Vishniac said.<br />
Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall<br />
said the need to increase food production<br />
in the province is as much a moral<br />
imperative as it is an economic one.<br />
“Today there are nearly 900 million<br />
people, one in eight among us, who<br />
live on this planet that are chronically<br />
malnourished. An estimated 50 million<br />
children under the age of five go<br />
to bed hungry every night,” Wall said.<br />
June 5, 2009: Canada<br />
held a further round<br />
of consultations with<br />
the U.S. on COOL. <strong>The</strong><br />
consultations did not<br />
resolve the issue.<br />
Oct. 7, 2009: Canada<br />
requested a WTO<br />
panel, and on Nov.<br />

established.<br />

WTO panel provided<br />
its confidential interim<br />
report to the involved<br />
countries.<br />
“Saskatchewan will play a role disproportionate<br />
to its population, but<br />
one that is proportionate to the challenge<br />
and to the opportunities of<br />
both sides of the border that real<br />
change is in the works.<br />
In Calgary, CCA executive vicepresident<br />
Dennis Laycraft said a portion<br />
of the American agricultural lobby<br />
wants “a regulatory fix that would<br />
make the rules more difficult versus<br />
the mainstream groups that would<br />
like to get rid of the discrimination.”<br />

with a ruling, “that is the path<br />
that ends up in retaliation and<br />
duties,” said Laycraft.<br />
In Ottawa, Liberal trade critic<br />
Wayne Easter, a veteran of Canada-<br />
U.S. trade disputes, said there is little<br />
chance Washington will comply.<br />
“I’m very doubtful,” he said. “It<br />
doesn’t look like they will fully comply<br />
and then what do we do? Applying<br />
tariffs is an option we would have<br />
to seriously consider.”<br />
However, trade watchers warned<br />
against triggering a trade war even<br />
though COOL has been blamed for<br />
causing Canadian livestock and pork<br />
industries hundreds of millions of<br />
dollars in lost revenue because many<br />
U.S. slaughter and processing plants<br />
do not want to take Canadian animals<br />
or if they do, discount their price<br />
because of added labelling costs and<br />
consumer reaction.<br />
Still, Canadian officials called the<br />
ruling by arbitrator Giorgio Sacerdoti<br />
a win because the U.S. had<br />
argued for a much longer compliance<br />
period.<br />

they have in the past 10,000 years.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> crop nutrients that we produce<br />
— nitrogen, phosphate and<br />
potash — are responsible for as<br />
much as half of the world’s crop<br />
yield,” said Doyle.<br />
“In many developing regions, farmers<br />
are still trying to feed their families<br />
with soils badly deficient in basic<br />
nutrients, using farming methods<br />
that limit their productivity. With the<br />
knowledge, resources and commitment<br />
that we have in Saskatchewan,<br />
we can advance food solutions to<br />
help the world.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> University of Saskatchewan is<br />
cutting programs and staff to trim $45<br />
million from its annual budget, but<br />
Busch-Vishniac said there are limits<br />
to how much the private investment<br />
will direct research.<br />
“This institute will be treated as<br />
every other institute on campus,” she<br />
said. “<strong>The</strong>re will be a board that has<br />
some representation of our partners,<br />
but they will only set broad strategic<br />
direction, and everything that is<br />
done in this institute will have the<br />
same guarantees of academic freedom<br />
that are common for everything<br />
we do on this campus.”<br />
Wall said the government is hoping<br />
additional private partners will<br />
become involved with the institute.<br />
Garth Patterson, executive director<br />
of the <strong>Western</strong> Grains Research<br />
Foundation, said the organization<br />
invests more than $6 million of producers’<br />
money a year in crop variety<br />
development and agronomic<br />
research. <strong>The</strong> new institute will likely<br />
attract some of the money, he added.<br />
“We plan to increase funding by $15<br />
million over the next four years and I<br />
am confident that the university’s<br />
increased research capacity will<br />
attract a portion of this funding,” Patterson<br />
said.

Euthanasia in hog industry falls under scrutiny<br />
Humane handling | In wake of TV documentary, industry officials look for methods more acceptable to consumers<br />
STORIES BY ED WHITE<br />
WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
Is it OK to kill piglets by banging<br />
their heads on concrete floors?<br />
Is it proper to kill a sow with a captive<br />
bolt gun?<br />
Is it humane to house pregnant<br />
sows in stalls?<br />
<strong>The</strong> answer to all three of those<br />
questions is “yes,” according to most<br />
livestock veterinarians.<br />
However, from the reaction to footage<br />
from a hog barn near Arborg,<br />
Man., that was recently released by<br />
an activist group and given national<br />
media attention, the public’s opinion<br />
might be “no.”<br />
Veterinary researchers and the hog<br />
industry have responded to the<br />
increasing concern over formerly<br />
normal livestock practices by developing<br />
methods of animal handling<br />
and euthanasia that will at least look<br />
more palatable to the general public.<br />
“Efforts are being made to determine<br />
effective methods that may be<br />
more acceptable to the public,” said<br />
Dr. Laurie Connor, head of the University<br />
of Manitoba’s animal science<br />
department.<br />
“Even as we alleviate any suffering<br />
or potential for suffering via euthanization,<br />
we need to be able to explain<br />
the techniques in a way that is understandable<br />
and acceptable to those<br />
people truly concerned about animal<br />
care and well-being, not just<br />
propaganda for a non-meat agenda.”<br />
However, Connor said an animal’s<br />
welfare should take precedence over<br />
public squeamishness. <strong>The</strong> use of<br />
poison gas or barbiturates to kill pigs<br />
might look less gruesome to city<br />
dwellers but often causes more<br />
stress, anxiety and suffering to sick or<br />
injured pigs. Using alternative methods<br />
is only acceptable if they reduce<br />
the animal’s suffering.<br />
“Euthanasia needs to be conducted<br />
in the most humane manner possible<br />
with respect and consideration<br />
for the animal being euthanized and<br />
the person that is responsible for the<br />
euthanasia,” said Connor, who was<br />
one of the three-person panel who<br />
reviewed the footage that was used to<br />
claim that many animals at the<br />
Arborg barn were being abused.<br />
“We cannot have a piglet left alive to<br />
suffer and experience a slow death,<br />
so we need an acceptable manner<br />
from the standpoint of a humane<br />
death for the piglet and also a method<br />
that the stockperson can administer<br />
effectively,” Connor said.<br />
MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s<br />
food safety watchdog has stepped<br />
up tests of Canadian and American<br />
meat imports for traces of a banned<br />
feed additive while talks proceeded to<br />
prevent a stop to shipments.<br />
A spokesperson for the regulator<br />
said traces of the feed additive ractopamine<br />
had been found in consignments<br />
of meat from the two countries<br />
on a weekly basis since a warning was<br />
issued earlier this year.<br />
Improving the humane handling of<br />
pigs has been a major concern of the<br />
hog industry in the past decade, after<br />
the industry suffered an onslaught of<br />
accusations that it treats pigs badly.<br />
Secret camera exposes have become<br />
common in recent years in the United<br />
States, and the Arborg one is the<br />
first by Mercy For Animals’ new<br />
Canadian office.<br />
Connor has been involved for many<br />
years with developing open housing<br />
systems for gestating sows, which are<br />
gradually replacing the presently<br />
widespread sow stall system. <strong>The</strong><br />
North American hog industry has<br />
faced a barrage of attacks over gestation<br />
stalls, which will be banned in the<br />
European Union in January. Some<br />
producers have already built stall-free<br />
barns or converted existing barns.<br />
In Manitoba, the hog industry has<br />
set 2025 as a voluntary target for<br />
eliminating gestation stalls in the<br />
province.<br />
Euthanasia methods are also being<br />
advanced. Some barns in the U.S.<br />
and elsewhere use poison gas to kill<br />
piglets because it does not seem brutal.<br />
However, Connor said gassing a<br />
pig can cause it more discomfort and<br />
stress than a quick thump on the concrete.<br />
While most swine veterinarians<br />
believe thumping is humane, animal<br />
welfare expert Temple Grandin<br />
believes it should be phased out<br />
because it can be done incorrectly<br />
and result in an injured piglet.<br />
Connor said another problem with<br />
thumping is that most women cannot<br />
do it because it takes a lot of<br />
strength to hit the pig hard enough to<br />
immediately kill it. Female staff will<br />
often wait for a male to become available,<br />
which can leave a piglet to suffer<br />
for longer.<br />
Ian Duncan, a professor emeritus<br />
and researcher at the University of<br />
Guelph, said the challenges with<br />
doing thumping 100 percent effectively<br />
and the difficulty for women to<br />
attempt it has prompted his university<br />
to develop a machine that can do<br />
the same thing without having to<br />
swing the pig.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Zephyr is a modified nail gun<br />
that uses a mushroom-shaped head<br />
to smash a piglet’s skull. After the first<br />
shot, which immediately knocks the<br />
pig unconscious, a second shot is<br />
fired further back on the skull to<br />
ensure the pig is dead.<br />
“This does the same damage to the<br />
brain and has exactly the same effect<br />
as blunt trauma, but appears to be<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is no information that the<br />
consignment of goods are being<br />
turned back as of now, but tests are<br />
ongoing. I hope this will not lead to a<br />
suspension of imports,” Rosselkhoznadzor<br />
spokesperson Alexei<br />
Alekseenko said.<br />
Russia demanded that Canadian<br />
and American imports be certified to<br />
be free of the feed additive ractopamine<br />
on Dec. 7, the same day the U.S.<br />
House of Representatives voted to<br />
An episode of CTV’s W5 has put a spotlight on animal welfare and hog<br />
production in Canada. | FILE PHOTO<br />
much less violent,” said Duncan.<br />
Not all veterinarians agree on<br />
which forms of euthanasia are<br />
appropriate at specific times in a<br />
pig’s life. Connor believes the captive<br />
bolt killing of a sow shown in the footage<br />
from the Arborg barn was done<br />
correctly: the animal was immediately<br />
knocked unconscious and the<br />
worker quickly followed up with<br />
checks and a secondary action to<br />
ensure it was truly dead.<br />
Duncan thinks the captive bolt<br />
shouldn’t have been used on a grown<br />
sow.<br />
“This is very bad,” he said.<br />
“Mature pigs have extremely thick<br />
skulls and captive bolt guns are not<br />
effective in stunning them.”<br />
Connor and Duncan agreed that a<br />
staff member that was recorded<br />
shoving a downed sow with his boot<br />
and pulling on its ears was breaking<br />
humane treatment standards.<br />
However, both thought anesthesiafree<br />
tail-docking and castration were<br />
acceptable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canadian code of practice for<br />
pig handling is presently being<br />
revised.<br />
IMPORTS | FOOD SAFETY<br />
Russia complains of tainted Canadian, U.S. beef<br />

of a bill expanding trade with Russia.<br />
Some analysts said the Russian<br />
move was linked to the U.S. Senate’s<br />
passage of the “Magnitsky list”<br />
named after Sergei Magnitsky, a<br />
hedge fund lawyer who died in<br />
prison during a corruption investigation.<br />
“This is absolute nonsense. We<br />
warned about ractopamine a year<br />
ago when we couldn’t know about<br />
any list,” the spokesperson said.<br />
Warnings on ractopamine content<br />
in meat from North America had<br />
been issued as recently as August.<br />
Late last week the regulator said it<br />
would increase laboratory oversight<br />
of meat from three plants in the<br />
United States and Canada.<br />

meat leaner, has been banned by<br />
some countries despite scientific<br />
evidence that it is safe.<br />
ANIMAL WELFARE | ACTIVISM<br />
Panel finds<br />
methods<br />
shown on<br />
documentary<br />
acceptable<br />
Some incidents of ugly-looking<br />
animal treatment at a hog barn near<br />
Arborg, Man., are “improper,” concludes<br />
an expert Animal Care<br />
Review Panel.<br />
However, most of the activities and<br />
situations portrayed in a sensational<br />
episode of CTV’s W5 and in footage<br />
provided by a vegetarian activist<br />
group are “widely considered<br />
acceptable and humane,” said the<br />
panel, organized by the Centre for<br />
Food Integrity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> W5 episode, which aired Dec.<br />
8, included footage gained with a<br />
secret camera used by an activist<br />
with Mercy For Animals Canada.<br />
<strong>The</strong> activist was hired as an<br />
employee and worked for the Puratone<br />
barn for two months in summer<br />
and early autumn 2012.<br />
<strong>The</strong> episode criticizes a variety of<br />
issues, from sow stalls to water quality<br />
to the indoor nature of the modern<br />
hog industry.<br />
However, the footage it focuses on<br />
and has drawn the most concern are<br />
images of piglets and a sow being<br />
killed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> piglets are killed by “thumping,”<br />
a common practice used to kill<br />
piglets in which they are swung by<br />
the legs and have their heads<br />
smashed in on the barn’s concrete<br />
floor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sow is killed with a bolt gun,<br />
followed by the insertion of a metal<br />
bar to ensure the brain is destroyed<br />
and the animal dead.<br />
Another incident shows a sow<br />
lying on the barn floor and a worker<br />
pulling on its ears and shoving it<br />
with a boot.<br />
While unsettling for many, veterinary<br />
experts generally don’t condemn<br />
either the “thumping” or the<br />
bolt-gun killing of the sow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thumping is a form of “blunt<br />
force trauma” that is a quick and<br />
instantaneous method of killing<br />
very young pigs, which have soft<br />
skulls.<br />
However, the panel concluded that<br />
in one case a piglet was killed by<br />
being swung into a metal bar rather<br />
than against the concrete floor,<br />
which is not acceptable and could<br />
have caused the animal to suffer.<br />
Killing the sow with a captive bolt<br />
was also considered humane by the<br />
panel, which noted that the workers<br />
took extra steps to ensure the animal<br />
was dead after being bolted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> panel condemned the slapping,<br />
kicking and ear pulling of a<br />
struggling sow.<br />
“That is unacceptable,” said Dr.<br />
Bob Friendship of the University of<br />
Guelph’s veterinary college and a<br />
member of the expert panel.<br />
“I’ve been on farms where people<br />
seen doing that kind of thing would<br />
be fired on the spot.”

Farmers shortening canola rotations<br />
Not surprising | High prices cited as main motivation behind tight rotations<br />
BY ROBERT ARNASON<br />
BRANDON BUREAU<br />
<strong>Western</strong> Canadian farmers often<br />
answer, “I’m sticking to my rotation,”<br />
when asked what crop they<br />
plan to grow next spring.<br />
Yet that rotation has strayed significantly<br />
from agronomist recommendations<br />
over the last five years<br />
when it comes to canola. Most<br />
growers are now locked into a twoyear<br />
rotation.<br />
Crop insurance data from the<br />
Manitoba Agricultural Services<br />
Corp. (MASC) shows that 56 percent<br />
of canola fields in the province<br />
had a one-year break from canola<br />
in 2011. <strong>The</strong> percentage of fields<br />
with a two-year break was only 12.6<br />
percent.<br />
A decade earlier, the percentage<br />
of fields on a one-year and two-year<br />
break was nearly identical. In 2001,<br />
32.4 percent of Manitoba farmers<br />
planted canola on a field that had a<br />
two-year break and 31.8 percent<br />
had a one-year break.<br />
In the black soil zone of Saskatchewan,<br />
800 fields had canola<br />
after a one-year break in 2002 and<br />
canola was grown after a two-year<br />
break on 1,800 fields, according to<br />
Saskatchewan Agriculture data.<br />
In 2009, canola was seeded after a<br />
one-year break on 8,000 fields in<br />
the black soil zone and 3,600 fields<br />
had canola after a two-year break.<br />
Doug Wilcox, MASC’s manager of<br />
program development for insurance<br />
who assembled the Manitoba<br />
figures, said the tighter rotations<br />
Survey data show many producers are straying from agronomist<br />
recommendations and shortening canola rotations. | FILE PHOTO<br />
aren’t shocking. He has followed<br />
the trend over the last decade.<br />
What is surprising is the number<br />
of Manitoba producers who now<br />
plant canola into canola stubble,<br />
Wilcox said.<br />
“In 2001, it might have been like<br />
one percent of acres. In recent<br />
years, it’s been 10 percent of acres,”<br />
he said.<br />
Wilcox’s data also show that<br />
canola fields on a two-year rotation<br />
slightly out-yielded fields on a<br />
three- or four-year rotation.<br />
Flax, peas and oats consistently<br />
yield more when the rotation is<br />
longer, based on the MASC data,<br />
while yields of canola, barley, corn<br />
and spring wheat are consistently<br />
lower if the field has no break in<br />
crop rotation.<br />
However, yields for those crops<br />
don’t climb progressively as the<br />
rotation lengthens.<br />
SEE OUR DEC. 20 SPECIAL REPORT FOR MORE ON CANOLA ROTATIONS<br />
Wilcox attributes the higher<br />
canola yields from two-year rotations<br />
to producers spending more<br />
on inputs.<br />
“It may be simply because people<br />
are aware they are breaking the<br />
rules and are able to compensate<br />
through use of fungicides and other<br />
management practices,” he said.<br />
“We didn’t analyze that, but that<br />
would be my hypothesis.”<br />
Anastasia Kubinec, an oilseed<br />
specialist with Manitoba Agriculture,<br />
backed Wilcox’s assessment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> guys that are on the canolawheat-canola<br />
rotations, they are<br />
putting a lot of money into their<br />
crop,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re going for the maximum<br />
return on investing that they can …<br />
and they’re fully willing to put the<br />
inputs in it.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of Manitoba canola<br />
fields on a one-year break hit a plateau<br />
from 2009 to 2012 and<br />
decreased slightly. In 2012, 52.1<br />
percent of fields were on a two-year<br />
canola rotation.<br />
Growers may be backing away<br />
from canola-cereal-canola<br />
because they are spending more<br />
on crop protection and fertility to<br />
achieve target yields, Kubinec<br />
said.<br />
“Manitoba farmers, instead of<br />
looking at high yields and high<br />
commodity prices, they’re looking<br />
at the whole picture,” she said.<br />
“What’s my actual net return per<br />
acre? To get that 60 bu. per acre<br />
canola, how much extra do I have to<br />
put in?”<br />

Glencore’s Viterra bid<br />
gets regulatory nod<br />
5<br />
BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />
CAMROSE BUREAU<br />
Prairie farmers will likely be delivering<br />
grain to Glencore elevators<br />
by mid-December after the Swiss<br />
company received final regulatory<br />
approval for its $6 billion purchase<br />
of Viterra.<br />
China’s commerce ministry<br />
approved the deal Dec. 8. It was<br />
necessary because Viterra is a joint<br />
venture partner in a Chinese canola<br />
crushing plant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> approval was the last step in<br />
the long awaited acquisition of the<br />
prairie grain company by Glencore,<br />
which made the offer to buy Viterra<br />
in March.<br />
<strong>The</strong> final regulatory hurdle will<br />
give Glencore International a significant<br />
foothold in the grain industry.<br />
As well as its extensive network of<br />
prairie grain elevators, Viterra also<br />
owns grain storage and handling<br />
facilities in Australia.<br />
Viterra expects Dec. 17 will be the<br />
transfer day.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> approvals over the past<br />
months by the Canadian courts,<br />
regulators around the world and<br />
our shareholders, who voted 99.8<br />
percent in favour of the deal, demonstrate<br />
widespread support for<br />
this transaction,” Viterra president<br />
Mayo Schmidt said in a news<br />
release.<br />
Viterra shareholders accepted<br />
Glencore’s offer of $16.25 per share<br />
in May.<br />
As part of the deal, Glencore must<br />
sell some of its farm retail outlets<br />
to Agrium, while Richardson International<br />
would buy some grain<br />
handling facilities and other assets.<br />
Those arrangements still require<br />
Canadian regulatory approval.<br />

Richardson waits for<br />
Competition Bureau<br />
WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Richardson<br />
International Ltd. expects<br />
to receive Competition Bureau<br />
approval for its purchase of Viterra<br />
Inc. assets by the end of the year.<br />
Glencore International’s $6 billion<br />
acquisition of Viterra has<br />
cleared its final regulatory hurdle<br />
and is expected to close Dec. 17,<br />
setting the stage for Glencore to<br />
trigger previously arranged sales of<br />
some Viterra assets to Richardson,<br />
Agrium Inc. and CF Industries Holdings<br />
Inc.<br />
Richardson president Curt Vossen<br />
said Canada’s Competition Bureau<br />
has already had extensive discussions<br />
with Richardson, a privately<br />
held Winnipeg-based company.<br />
“We’re feeling generally pretty confident<br />
that it will get approval pretty<br />
much in totality,” Vossen said.<br />
“I’m not getting a sense that there<br />
is going to be a wholesale concern<br />
by the Competition Bureau.”<br />
Assuming the regulator approves<br />
the deal by year’s end, Richardson’s<br />
transaction with Glencore should<br />
close as early as Feb. 1 or as late as<br />
March, he said.<br />
Richardson intends to buy 23<br />
percent of Viterra’s grain-handling<br />
assets and certain processing<br />
assets in North America, for $900<br />
million.<br />
<strong>The</strong> deal would leave Richardson<br />
and Glencore with roughly onethird<br />
each of <strong>Western</strong> Canada’s<br />
grain-handling capacity and establish<br />
them as the two biggest players.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
CHICAGO, Ill. — Carle Casale is<br />
paid to be negative, but he sees nothing<br />
but positives in the near and longterm<br />
outlook for U.S. agriculture.<br />
“Just look at the math. It’s really<br />
hard to come away and not be<br />
enthused about agriculture,” said the<br />
chief executive officer of CHS Inc.,<br />
the largest co-operative in the United<br />

Farmers emerged from the 2012<br />
drought in far better condition than<br />
they did during the last severe<br />
drought in 1988.<br />
Growers received just enough<br />
moisture in the fall to apply anhydrous<br />
fertilizer to the fields where<br />
they will be planting their 2013 corn<br />
crops.<br />
“That’s a break that we caught,”<br />
Casale told the 650 delegates attending<br />

“At least we’re in a position to stay in<br />
the game and be competitive as we<br />
go forward.”<br />
It could have been really ugly had<br />
there been a dry fall because low levels<br />
on the Mississippi River are disrupting<br />
fertilizer shipments to the<br />

“If it were to occur, that is one of the<br />

said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> real source of his optimism for<br />
U.S. agriculture is China. Last month,<br />
Casale took his leadership team to<br />
China to find the answer to one question<br />
— how will the country’s gross<br />
domestic product grow over the next<br />
five years?<br />
“If there is one variable that’s going<br />
to help determine my company’s<br />
fortunes, that is it,” he said.<br />
His team spoke to government offi-<br />
matter what you look at, oats are near<br />
last on everyone of them. If you are<br />
looking at the major grains and<br />
oilseeds, they are probably second<br />
from the bottom,” Strychar told farmers<br />
at the Prairie Oat Growers Association<br />
meeting.<br />
“New crop oat values are running at<br />
50 percent of wheat values. You’ve<br />
got about $8.25 (per bushel) in Manitoba<br />
on new crop on wheat. You’ve<br />
got oat values right now running<br />
around $3.75.… That is definitely not<br />
supportive of oat acres next spring.”<br />
Strychar said it is hard to understand<br />
why prices have not rallied<br />
further, given the forecast of exceptionally<br />
tight year end stocks.<br />
Statistics Canada’s November production<br />
report last week pegged oat<br />
production at 2.684 million tonnes,<br />
down 15 percent from the previous<br />
year.<br />

Casale said the U.S. will lose market<br />

because the only place for corn to<br />
expand in the U.S. is into states such<br />
as North Dakota, which has lower<br />

<strong>The</strong> problem with that scenario is<br />
that the other parts of the world have<br />
less predictable weather and more<br />
political instability than the U.S.<br />
“You have got demand that’s not<br />
going to vary, but you’re going to<br />
have production that is going to have<br />
huge, huge swings in it and obviously<br />
I believe that’s going to make markets<br />
nothing but more volatile,” he said.<br />
Casale’s optimism for American<br />
agriculture is fueled by farmer willingness<br />
to invest in new technologies<br />
and storage, which is keeping U.S.<br />
farmers in front of competitors such<br />
as Brazil.<br />

Low Mississippi water threatens ag shipments<br />
Grain, fertilizer exports hindered | Shipping disruptions are affecting commodity markets<br />
BY SEAN PRATT<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
Grain prices are falling and will<br />
drop further if the U.S. government<br />
doesn’t move quickly to boost water<br />
levels in the Mississippi River, say<br />
concerned agricultural commodity<br />
shippers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y claim a 320 kilometre stretch<br />
of America’s most important transportation<br />
artery between St. Louis,<br />
Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, will be<br />
shut down as early as Dec. 24 if nothing<br />
is done to rectify the problem<br />
caused by a severe summer drought<br />
in the United States.<br />
“That would impede the southbound<br />
movement of grains and<br />
oilseeds,” said Randy Gordon, president<br />
of the National Grain and Feed<br />
Association.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re just wouldn’t be an ability to<br />
move them south of St. Louis other<br />
than by rail and truck, which are both<br />
pretty inefficient.”<br />
While little if any Canadian grain<br />
moves on the Mississippi, prices here<br />
could be affected because of the critical<br />
role the river plays in transportation<br />
in the world’s leading grain<br />
exporter.<br />
About 60 percent of the United<br />
States’ corn and soybean exports<br />
travel south by barge on the Mississippi<br />
to New Orleans, where they are<br />
then shipped around the world. Most<br />
of that product would normally find<br />
its way down the river system during<br />
the next few months.<br />
<strong>The</strong> river is also used to bring fertilizer<br />
north from New Orleans into the<br />
northern U.S. Plains and <strong>Western</strong><br />
Canada.<br />
<strong>The</strong> volume of fertilizer that typically<br />
moves on the river system in<br />
January and February can account<br />
for 30 to 60 percent of the fertilizer<br />
used in the northern U.S., so those<br />
prices could be rising, said Gordon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> National Grain and Feed Association<br />
and 20 other agricultural and<br />
waterway organizations have sent a<br />
letter to U.S. president Barack Obama<br />
requesting him to direct the U.S.<br />
Army Corps of Engineers to release<br />
enough water from the Missouri<br />
River reservoirs to maintain a ninefoot<br />
navigation channel on the Mississippi<br />
River.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y say about 300 million bushels<br />
of grain and oilseeds worth $2.3 billion<br />
will be delayed getting to market<br />
in December and January if<br />
confidence and push prices lower<br />
across all markets.<br />
Weather will also play a role.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has been a string of weather<br />
problems for the past year, from winterkill<br />
and spring drought in Russia to<br />
an historic drought in the U.S. Midwest<br />
to excessive rain recently in<br />
Argentina.<br />
However, all crop prices would be<br />
pressured lower if weather in critical<br />
growing regions shifted toward a<br />
more benign trend.<br />
“I can’t reiterate this enough,”<br />
Strychar said.<br />
“Prices this high make buyers and<br />
speculators nervous. <strong>The</strong> first opportunity<br />
to see decent weather in the<br />
northern hemisphere, I can just<br />
about guarantee you are going to see<br />
this market easing if not starting to<br />

Reduced supplies in export<br />
positions would pressure farm<br />
prices and erode the United<br />
States’ ability and reputation as<br />
a reliable supplier of agricultural<br />
products to serve foreign<br />
buyers.<br />
U.S. AGRICULTURAL GROUPS<br />
nothing is done.<br />
“Reduced supplies in export positions<br />
would pressure farm prices and<br />
erode the United States’ ability and<br />
reputation as a reliable supplier of<br />
agricultural products to serve foreign<br />
buyers,” the groups said in the letter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> American Waterways Operators<br />
called the situation an “economic<br />
disaster.”<br />
“U.S. agricultural export projections<br />
are already plummeting as the<br />
anticipated absence of cost-effective<br />
barge transportation prices American<br />
corn and soybeans out of the<br />
international market,” AWO presi-<br />
— you have to use the word plunging<br />
carefully — but they are going to start<br />
to move lower.”<br />
He thinks U.S. corn production will<br />
jump higher next year, leading to<br />
lower prices that would also pressure<br />
oats.<br />
However, he said he can’t ignore<br />
the fact that there is a wide divergence<br />
in corn price forecasts, with<br />
some analysts expecting prices of $8<br />
per bu. or more by next summer.<br />
Oats would likely be $3.80-$4 per<br />
bu. if corn reached $8 and reach<br />
$5.50 if weather scares pushed corn<br />
to $8-$10.<br />
“That is just a stunning number. I<br />
can’t fathom that happening,”<br />
Strychar said. “You’d have to have just<br />
week after week after week of bullish<br />
(weather) news for that to happen.”<br />
dent Tom Allegretti said in a news<br />
release.<br />
Reuters reports that assistant army<br />
secretary Jo-Ellen Darcy, who is in<br />
charge of the Army Corps of Engineers,<br />
said the Missouri reservoirs<br />
are already 20 percent lower than<br />
desired and that the requested<br />
release of water wouldn’t be enough<br />
to maintain navigation on the Mississippi.<br />
Darcy said the combination of<br />
dredging and forecasted rain will<br />
keep barges moving on the river<br />
through mid- to late-December.<br />
However, commodity shippers are<br />
already cancelling sales, rerouting<br />
cargo and light-loading or pulling<br />
barges in an effort to deal with<br />
reduced water levels and in anticipation<br />
of the closure of a portion of the<br />
river.<br />
“Exports are being curtailed. Contracts<br />
are being cancelled,” said<br />
Debra Colbert, senior vice-president<br />
of Waterways Council Inc., which<br />
represents shippers, carriers and<br />
ports.<br />
Switching to truck and rail is a costly<br />
proposition, and these alternatives<br />
cannot handle the volume that<br />
moves on the river. A dry bulk barge<br />
can haul 1,750 tonnes of grain,<br />
oilseeds or fertilizer compared to 110<br />
tonnes in a bulk rail car and 25 tonnes<br />
in a truck trailer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> waterways really provide the<br />
most economical, cost competitive<br />
way to move agricultural products,”<br />
said Colbert.<br />
<strong>The</strong> shipping disruptions are<br />
already affecting commodity markets,<br />
said Jamie Wilton, senior commodity<br />
futures specialist with ScotiaMcLeod<br />
in Winnipeg.<br />
“It’s bearish futures. It’s almost a<br />
form of rationing demand,” he said.<br />
Rising freight costs are inflating<br />
basis levels, which is reducing<br />
futures prices, particularly for corn<br />
and wheat, although Wilton thinks<br />
it’s only a matter of time before soybeans<br />
feel the impact.<br />
“It has been limiting some of the<br />
gains here recently and maybe even<br />
caused some of the sell-off today<br />
here again,” he said Dec. 7.<br />
“I think it will probably get worse.”<br />
Wilton said the higher cost of getting<br />
U.S. commodities to market<br />
could make Canadian grain and<br />
oilseeds more competitive.<br />

“It may push some extra demand<br />
towards canola or Canadian milling<br />
wheat,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> river problems could push<br />
more U.S. grain to the West Coast, but<br />
there are problems there, too, in the<br />
form of labour contract disputes at<br />
ports in the Pacific Northwest.<br />
Gordon said longshoremen in<br />
Portland are involved in labour<br />
negotiations that aren’t going well.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dispute could affect six grain<br />
terminals in Portland, Vancouver<br />
and Puget Sound if it escalates into a<br />
full-fledged work stoppage.<br />
He said the Mississippi River issue<br />
has escalated to “a pretty high level”<br />
in the White House, but there is<br />
plenty of opposition to the request to<br />
open the taps on the Missouri River<br />
reservoirs.<br />
Members of Congress from the<br />
northern Plains say water from the<br />
Missouri River is used for industry,<br />
irrigation and wildlife in their<br />
states.<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. Army Corps of Engineers<br />
typically starts gradually<br />
restricting flows from the Missouri<br />
during the winter starting in<br />
November and then shuts the taps<br />
off in December.<br />
“Essentially, what we’re talking<br />
about is that water levels could drop<br />
a foot a week for at least the next<br />
couple of weeks,” said Colbert.<br />
She said keeping the Missouri River<br />
reservoirs open would deplete them<br />
by only two or three percent, which<br />
would be paid back in the spring<br />
through reduced flows if they haven’t<br />
been replenished by rainfall. <strong>The</strong><br />
Corps said it would be more like a five<br />
percent reduction in the already low<br />
reserves.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Corps has absolutely dug in its<br />
heels and said that it will not release<br />
water,” said Colbert.<br />
<strong>The</strong> original estimate was that the<br />
stretch of the Mississippi between St.<br />
Louis and Cairo would become<br />
unnavigable by Dec. 10. <strong>The</strong> new<br />
estimate is Dec. 24, although the latest<br />
data shows it could be as late as<br />
Dec. 28.

Weanling prices rebound as feed price dips<br />
Hog futures recover<br />
| <strong>Producer</strong>s are willing to<br />
reinvest in their operations<br />
BY ED WHITE<br />
WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
Anyone expecting to find depressed<br />
farmers and a morose outlook at<br />
Manitoba Hog and Poultry Days<br />
would have been surprised.<br />
<strong>The</strong> show wasn’t deserted and lots<br />
of farmers wandered the aisles of the<br />
trade show, looking to spend money<br />
on their recently money-losing<br />
operations.<br />
“If there’s an economic benefit at<br />
the end of the day, and a quick return<br />
on investment, people are definitely<br />
willing to consider it,” said Rick Bergmann<br />
of Paradigm Agri-Solutions,<br />
who brought several U.S. representatives<br />
for products he supplies to<br />
Manitoba hog farms.<br />
Bergmann said weanling and forward<br />
hog prices are back to profitable<br />
levels, so the farmers who are<br />
still in business have probably survived<br />
the recent calamitous financial<br />
downturn.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> ones who are in it today are<br />
the ones who are going to be here<br />
tomorrow,” said Bergmann.<br />
Spring and summer Chicago lean<br />
hog futures don’t offer big profits, but<br />
they offer acceptable returns for<br />
farmers to restock their barns with<br />
feeder pigs when combined with<br />
feed prices that are much lower than<br />
in July and August.<br />
CROP PRODUCTION | ESTIMATES<br />
Total canola supply steady after StatsCan tweaking<br />
MARKET WATCH<br />
D’ARCE McMILLAN<br />
Statistics Canada’s November<br />
production estimates are the<br />
last crop report of the year but<br />
not the last word on the size of the<br />
crop.<br />
Canada’s place as the world’s largest<br />
exporter of canola means the<br />
numbers on that oilseed are always<br />
closely watched for their impact on<br />
the markets.<br />
This year, based on the interviews<br />
with farmers that form the basis of the<br />
report, the canola production number<br />
was pegged at 13.31 million<br />
tonnes, down from the September<br />
estimate of 13.359 million tonnes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number was within the range of<br />
analysts’ pre-report forecasts but<br />
near the bottom of the range. Canola<br />
futures jumped a little higher following<br />
the report.<br />
<strong>The</strong> November report gave substance<br />
to the opinion that the September<br />
report didn’t catch the damage<br />
caused by the terrible wind<br />
storms that blew swaths around at<br />
harvest time.<br />
At first glance, the decline of 49,000<br />
tonnes from the September produc-<br />
I think the ones that are still in<br />
the business are used to these<br />
wild fluctuations in economic<br />
cycles and some are still hanging<br />
on by their fingernails, but they<br />
find strategies to survive.<br />
DARIN KUHLOW<br />
CONTINENTAL PLASTICS<br />
That has caused weanling prices to<br />
skyrocket, with prices surging to $50<br />
to $65 per weanling from a low of less<br />
than $10.<br />
Most producers can make a profit<br />
with a mid-$30s price.<br />
Weanling hog producers suffered<br />
the most when the downturn hit. <strong>The</strong><br />
first response of many U.S. hog producers<br />
to the Midwest drought was to<br />
empty their barns so that they didn’t<br />
have to feed pigs.<br />
That pushed prices down for<br />
slaughter animals, but the lack of<br />
demand for weanlings caused prices<br />
in that sector to crash.<br />
However, Chicago hog futures now<br />
look profitable, and there’s a scramble<br />
to fill barns. <strong>The</strong>re are fewer<br />

tion report reinforces the belief that<br />
canola stocks by the end of the crop<br />
year will likely be in short supply.<br />
However, you also have to look at<br />
what Statistics Canada did to the<br />
2011 canola crop number.<br />

final number.<br />

weanlings for feeder barn operators<br />
to buy because some producers have<br />
liquidated their sows and some have<br />
gone bankrupt.<br />
Eric Aubin, who oversees breeding<br />
stock sales for DanBred North America’s<br />
Quebec and Manitoba markets,<br />
said many farmers have faced grave<br />
financial challenges in Quebec and<br />
Manitoba, but Manitoba’s weanling<br />
producers seemed to have suffered<br />
most. Quebec’s operations are mainly<br />
farrow-to-finish, so they didn’t<br />
face the same collapse.<br />
Demand for breeding stock there<br />
has continued, although there was a<br />
weak period in the midst of the<br />
However, Statistics Canada also<br />
keeps track of exports and domestic<br />
use and issues stocks reports three<br />
times a year.<br />
From that it can sometimes be<br />
deduced that the amount consumed<br />
is greater than the amount produced,<br />
which can’t happen, so the original<br />
production number must have been<br />
wrong. Statistics Canada then revises<br />
its production number.<br />
In November of last year, the agen-<br />
drought-induced crop price rally.<br />
“Our company is doing quite well,”<br />
said Aubin.<br />
“We have seen some reduction,<br />
and we sold less breeding stock for<br />
awhile, but each producer has his<br />
own set of concerns and his own<br />
way of getting through the bad<br />
times.<br />
Darin Kuhlow of Continental Plastics,<br />
a Wisconsin company that provides<br />
boar semen extender, said<br />
farmers won’t back away from products<br />
like his, even if they are having<br />
money trouble.<br />
He shared Bergmann’s view that<br />
the farmers who have survived to this<br />
cy pegged the canola crop at 14.165<br />
million tonnes, but in the September<br />
production report this year it revised<br />
it upward to 14.493 million tonnes.<br />
And in this latest report, it increased<br />
it again, by 115,000 tonnes to 14.608<br />
million. It also tweaked the 2010 crop<br />
higher, increasing it 16,000 tonnes to<br />
12.789 million tonnes.<br />
That probably means the carry-in<br />
to 2012-13 was larger than had been<br />
assumed when Agriculture Canada<br />
did its supply, demand and carryout<br />
forecasts.<br />
So while the production estimate<br />
was trimmed, the carry-in is probably<br />
a little larger, which means the<br />
total available canola supply for this<br />
crop year is probably little changed<br />
and therefore has little real impact on<br />
prices.<br />
As for other crops, Statistics Canada<br />
increased its estimate of the spring<br />
wheat, durum, rye, pea and lentil<br />
crops and decreased its estimate of<br />
the barley, oats and flax crops.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes had little effect on<br />
markets for the major grains, but the<br />
increases in peas and lentils put<br />
downward pressure on prices, especially<br />
for green lentils and yellow<br />
peas because they accounted for the<br />
increases.<br />
Luckily, growers are in a strong<br />
position with good revenue from<br />
other crops and they can ration sales<br />
so as not to overload the system.<br />

Bergmann said it may seem odd<br />
that farmers who have so recently<br />
survived a historical downturn<br />
would consider reinvesting in their<br />
farms, but farmers want to farm for as<br />
long as they can, regardless of profitability.<br />
“All they want to do is make a living,<br />
and they hope to find a way to do<br />
that,” he said.<br />
BEEF TRADE | BRAZIL EXPORTS<br />
BSE protein<br />
in Brazilian beef<br />
disrupts trade<br />
TOKYO/BRASILIA (Reuters) —<br />
Japan says it has halted beef imports<br />
from Brazil after the South American<br />
nation notified the World Animal<br />
Health Organization (OIE) of the<br />
discovery of the protein believed to<br />
cause BSE.<br />
Russia said it too was considering<br />
suspending Brazilian beef imports.<br />
Brazilian officials said Dec. 7 the<br />
pasture-fed animal that died in<br />
Parana in December 2010 did not<br />
have BSE.<br />
<strong>The</strong> official OIE report confirmed<br />
that the animal did not die of BSE<br />
and said it may have had an atypical<br />
case of the disease, meaning one<br />
arising spontaneously from a genetic<br />
mutation that can arise in older<br />
cattle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> animal was 13 years old and<br />
had been kept for breeding purposes.<br />
Japan imported 1,435 tonnes of<br />
Brazilian beef in 2011, accounting<br />
for 0.3 percent of total beef imports,<br />
Japanese agriculture ministry data<br />
showed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> OIE has maintained Brazil’s<br />
status as a country with an insignificant<br />
risk of BSE, Brazilian officials<br />
said, adding Brazil would pursue<br />
legal action if necessary against any<br />
importer trying to exploit BSE claims<br />
to block imports of Brazilian beef.

WPEDITORIAL OPINION<br />
HERBICIDES | RESISTANCE<br />
Preventing resistance relies<br />
on sharing research info<br />
Advice on herbicide use is becoming<br />
increasingly complicated and<br />
confusing, and farmers are well<br />
within their rights to ask tough questions<br />
about which products might best serve<br />
their needs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> complexity is growing because herbicide<br />
resistance among weeds is increasing,<br />
even as new solutions are not<br />
forthcoming. Confusion is also starting to<br />
take hold because information can often<br />
be delivered in snapshots instead of in big<br />
picture format.<br />
Herbicide use remains crucial; it is perhaps<br />
the most crucial tool in crop management.<br />
Agriculture Canada’s Bob Blackshaw of<br />
the Lethbridge research centre recently<br />
undertook a study on where input costs<br />
could best be reduced. He provided some<br />
suggestions, but he advised never to cut<br />
back on herbicide because weeds affect<br />
yields so significantly.<br />
Given its enormous value, how do you<br />
keep a herbicide from losing its effectiveness?<br />
Hugh Beckie, a researcher with<br />
Agriculture Canada, said tools at the disposal<br />
of prairie farmers are limited.<br />
“I do firmly believe that weed resistance<br />
is the biggest threat to sustainable agriculture,<br />
just because the pipeline of new<br />
herbicide modes of actions are empty,” he<br />
said at the Agri-Trend 2012 Farm Forum<br />
Event Nov. 30.<br />
Several examples of the changing resistance<br />
landscape have emerged lately. For<br />
instance, the emergence of glyphosateresistant<br />
kochia in southern Alberta and<br />
Saskatchewan has raised the question of<br />
how to get rid of it.<br />
Blackshaw has said that kochia cannot<br />
be killed with the Group 4 herbicide 2,4-D,<br />
although dicamba still appears to be<br />
effective. However, he said increasingly<br />
higher dicamba concentrations will<br />
probably be necessary to control the<br />
weed, which raises the question of how<br />
long it will be effective.<br />
In addition, Alberta has 20 herbicideresistant<br />
biotypes, Saskatchewan has 18<br />
and Manitoba 21. <strong>The</strong> most troublesome<br />
for producers are Canada fleabane or<br />
When the business-supported<br />
Conference Board of<br />
Canada looks at Canada’s<br />
agriculture and food sector, it sees<br />
almost nothing but bright skies.<br />
In fact, last week’s report on the<br />
viability of Canada’s food economy<br />
was called <strong>The</strong> Sky’s the Limit.<br />
Demand for Canada’s food products<br />
will remain “robust” for years,<br />
said the report from the board’s Cen-<br />
horseweed, wild oat, barnyard grass,<br />
lamb’s quarters and redroot pigweed.<br />
Some scientists say glyphosate in particular<br />
has been overused, while others<br />
still recommend it to control volunteer<br />
weeds. <strong>The</strong>re is good advice within specific<br />
areas, but the big picture remains<br />
elusive.<br />
It’s still a bit of a new world for western<br />
farmers because the first glyphosateresistant<br />
weed in <strong>Western</strong> Canada was<br />
confirmed in late 2011, although basic<br />
agronomic theory still applies.<br />
Growing multiple crops in rotation and<br />
rotating through herbicide groups with<br />
different modes of action are the first line<br />
of defence in avoiding weed resistance<br />
problems. Seeding rates and fertility programs<br />
also have an impact on weed<br />
growth. Keeping equipment clean prevents<br />
the spread of weeds, including<br />
resistant types.<br />
However, farmers will need more information<br />
in an increasingly herbicideresistant<br />
environment. Farmers and<br />
weed control companies must think<br />
long-term, while keeping an eye on future<br />
profitability.<br />
Overusing cheap herbicides and pushing<br />
rotations may generate higher<br />
income today but destroy the usefulness<br />
of the herbicide in the future. Also, land<br />
overrun with herbicide-resistant weeds<br />
will become less valuable.<br />
Farm groups are realizing there is a<br />
pressing need to get the results of research<br />
and recommendations on best<br />
management practices to growers and<br />
are emphasizing that in newsletters and<br />
other forms of communications.<br />
More funding for education, based on<br />
research and provided by independent<br />
sources, would be helpful in making recommendations<br />
on the best agronomic<br />
practices.<br />
More profitable and more sustainable<br />
farming practices can peacefully co-exist<br />
if farmers are shown the way.<br />
tre for Food in Canada, supported by<br />
funders as diverse as Agriculture<br />
Canada, McCain Foods, Maple Leaf<br />

It should be noted that financial<br />
supporters do not typically influence<br />
the content of research papers,<br />
although based on the drift of report<br />
results, they can decide whether to<br />
keep funding or not.<br />
In the case of the Centre for Food in<br />
Canada, it can be assumed that the<br />

research and analysis that challenges<br />

“World grain markets are in the<br />
midst of a fundamental, long-term<br />
transformation driven by demographics,<br />
changes in wealth and<br />
rising appetites … an environment<br />
of strong demand and pricing is<br />
expected to produce ample opportunity<br />
for Canada’s agriculture<br />
industry to continue to thrive in the<br />
coming years.”<br />
But there was also despair.<br />
As many other academic and business<br />
reports have argued over the<br />
past several years, all that optimism<br />
and opportunity are being shackled<br />
by government farm support and<br />
protection policies rooted in the<br />
past.<br />
As usual, in the centre of the bull’seye<br />
was supply management. <strong>The</strong><br />
report said it should be phased out<br />
with compensation, but it also conceded<br />
the cost of compensating<br />
farmers for billions of dollars of quota<br />
and investment value has yet to be<br />
determined.<br />
However, the criticism was broader.<br />
Farm supports in general are too rich<br />
and shelter the weak and inefficient<br />
against market forces.<br />
“Current state supports are sufficient<br />
to make non-viable operators<br />
viable. Large parts of the primary<br />
sector are, in effect, insured against<br />
the vagaries of the creative destruction<br />
processes that are very much<br />
alive in the processing and retailing<br />
sectors of the industry.”<br />
Now that is a telling and very<br />
descriptive term — creative destruction.<br />
Let market forces sweep their way<br />
across the landscape, destroying<br />
those who aren’t up to competing<br />
with the big guys despite the benefits<br />
they may offer local communities or<br />
who have lived, like supply management,<br />
within a protected environment<br />
that has given its farmers stable<br />
and predictable incomes at the cost<br />
of high investment and debt but<br />
aren’t susceptible to the vagaries of<br />
the market.<br />
“Large farms are generally more<br />
profitable,” said the report. “<strong>The</strong>y<br />
generate sufficient revenue to cover<br />
their fixed costs and earn a return on<br />
investment.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are less susceptible, one<br />
assumes, to the forces of creative<br />
destruction and less needing of government<br />
or regulatory support that<br />
helps create a diverse Canadian farm<br />
and rural economy.<br />
Cue the business sector applause.

FOOD SAFETY | LOCAL VERSUS LARGE-SCALE<br />
Local food proponents exploit XL recall<br />
BY JOSEPH QUESNEL<br />
It’s no surprise that local food<br />
activists are using the recent XL<br />
Foods beef recall to push their<br />
agenda.<br />
After all, the beef recall involving<br />
the plant in Brooks, Alta., affected<br />
more than 2,000 products and is<br />
being called the largest beef recall in<br />
Canadian history.<br />
Seventeen people have so far been<br />
diagnosed with E. coli in connection<br />
to meat from the plant.<br />
Local food activists, or locavores,<br />
believe food should be grown or produced<br />
in their local community or<br />
region. Local food is fresher, better<br />
tasting and more nutritious, they<br />
maintain. <strong>The</strong>y adhere to the “food<br />
miles” notion that shipping food long<br />
distances increases greenhouse gases.<br />
As a result, they avoid it.<br />
Yet there is no convincing evidence<br />
that local food is better tasting or<br />
more nutritious. We buy exported<br />
food because it is a better bang for<br />
our buck. Local food is often more<br />
costly.<br />
In the age of efficient inter-modal<br />
container shipping, growing things<br />
in better conditions elsewhere and<br />
shipping them over long distances<br />
often emits fewer emissions than<br />
growing food domestically.<br />
Experts say much more energy is<br />
used in food production than transportation.<br />
One such expert is geographer<br />
Pierre Desrochers, an associate professor<br />
at the University of Toronto<br />

HURSH ON AG<br />
KEVIN HURSH<br />
Contrary to what the 2011 Census<br />
of Agriculture indicates,<br />
there’s a youth movement in<br />
agriculture.<br />
Farm meetings that used to be<br />
dominated by grey hair or no hair<br />
now have a healthier proportion of<br />
young men and women.<br />
And if you think young people<br />
aren’t passionate about agriculture,<br />
check out Twitter.<br />
Yes, the census data continues to<br />
show a decline in the number of farm<br />
operators younger than 35. But being<br />
involved in the farm and even being<br />
the heir apparent to the operation<br />
doesn’t mean you’ll show up in the<br />
stats as a farm operator.<br />
Local food supporters must not forget that safe handling rules and<br />
processing methods originated from large-scale food production, says a<br />

food production. What activists miss<br />
is the history of food production and<br />
how large-scale food production has<br />
made our food supply chain much<br />
safer than in the past.<br />
Desrochers points out that advances<br />
in science and medicine have<br />
eradicated food-borne illnesses that<br />
were once widespread.<br />
Proper canning, pasteurization,<br />
refrigeration, water chlorination,<br />
sanitary packing and food irradiation<br />
have made our food system the safest<br />
in human history.<br />
Local food activists romanticize the<br />
pastoral past, but modern scientific<br />
advances eliminated food problems<br />
that were once endemic.<br />
Most food borne illnesses requiring<br />
Plus, many in the older generation<br />
are hanging onto the farm into their<br />
late 60s and 70s. Farming is fun when<br />
you’re making money and the technology<br />
continually improves. Many<br />
older farmers enjoy working with<br />
their family and don’t have anything<br />
else they’d rather do.<br />
<strong>The</strong> stats may also be skewed by<br />
people retiring from professional<br />
careers or other business ventures to<br />
come back to the farm. Even though<br />
they’re mid-50ish, they are new<br />
farmers.<br />
Until five or six years ago, the farm<br />
didn’t look like a lucrative option<br />
compared to a job in the resource<br />
sector. Now, there’s some serious<br />
money being generated, particularly<br />
on grain operations.<br />
Profitable years were fleeting in the<br />
past, seemingly just a blip. This time,<br />
there’s a feeling, whether right or<br />
wrong, that the paradigm has shifted.<br />
It’s hoped that improved economics<br />
have become the norm.<br />
Young people who were helping<br />
out on the family farm while working<br />
elsewhere are spending more time<br />
hospitalization or leading to fatalities<br />
don’t come from contaminated food<br />
in large food-producing facilities.<br />
In Canada, it is estimated that there<br />
are 6.8 million cases of food-borne<br />
illnesses annually. A recent Conference<br />
Board of Canada study traces<br />
most of those illnesses to the food<br />
service industry, namely restaurants<br />
and households.<br />
Modern agriculture has brought<br />
modern food safety protocols.<br />
Desrochers recalled a visit he made<br />
to a Maple Leaf plant after the listeria<br />
outbreak and discovered how extensive<br />
the food safety protocols were.<br />
Thick safety protocol binders were<br />
regularly used at every step of the<br />
process.<br />
AGE STATISTICS | YOUTH MOVEMENT<br />
Young people are coming back to the farm<br />
on the farm. Many have quit their offfarm<br />
employment or business to<br />
farm full time, and they’re making<br />
their own farming investments.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a noticeable distinction<br />
between farms that have a family<br />
successor and those who don’t.<br />
Interest by the younger generations<br />
gives a farm purpose and motivation.<br />
It also encourages new technology<br />
and innovation. Without a family<br />
heir, farms are much less likely to be<br />
expansion-minded.<br />
It’s also interesting to see how farms<br />
without family succession are targeted<br />
by other operations wanting to<br />
expand. It can be a little like vultures<br />
circling as they wait for the day when<br />
the land will be rented or sold. Old<br />
Pete and Audrey never had so many<br />
“friends.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> new problem for the younger<br />
generation is how to expand the farm<br />
when land prices and cash rents are<br />
skyrocketing. Everyone’s wish for<br />
profitability in the grain sector has<br />
been granted. <strong>The</strong> natural consequence<br />
is a lot of people wanting to<br />
farm more ground.<br />
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13, 2012<br />
Most of these elaborate procedures<br />
are far beyond the means of the average<br />
local farmer producing for the<br />
local farmers market.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are economies of scale in<br />
food safety, too.<br />
Desrochers said large, centralized<br />
operations allow companies to hire<br />
staff that study and enact food safety<br />
protocols for a living, which would be<br />
impossible for smaller farming<br />
operations. So food safety is more<br />
likely compromised in smaller operations<br />
because they cannot costeffectively<br />
assemble the food safety<br />
equipment and know-how that larger<br />
operations can.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other advantage to large scale<br />
production is that large food firms<br />
are juicy targets if something goes<br />
wrong. Large firms such as Maple<br />
Leaf and JBS USA want to avoid foodborne<br />
illness outbreaks because they<br />
inevitably lead to litigation and<br />
reduced sales.<br />
Desrochers points out the obvious<br />
example of places such as India and<br />
sub-Saharan Africa where food poisoning<br />
is much more common.<br />
Open-air local markets are everywhere<br />
and eating food, especially<br />
meat, is risky.<br />
Obviously, the XL Foods recall<br />
means we need to be more vigilant.<br />
However, the answer is not to blow an<br />
incident out of proportion or ignore<br />
advances in food safety brought about<br />
by large-scale food production. Let’s<br />
maintain some perspective.<br />
Joseph Quesnel is a policy analyst<br />
with the Frontier Centre for Public<br />
Policy. This column was provided by<br />
Troy Media and has been edited for<br />
length.<br />
<strong>The</strong> common refrain six years ago<br />
was, “young people are never coming<br />
back to the farm when they can’t<br />
make a decent living.” Now the mantra<br />
is, “how can young people afford<br />
to get a start in farming at these land<br />
prices?”<br />
But many are trying and it’s leading<br />
to difficult family situations. What if<br />
there’s more than one son or daughter<br />
who wants to farm, but the operation<br />
just isn’t large enough to support<br />
that many people?<br />
And how do you treat non-farming<br />
children equitably? If Johnny is getting<br />
the farmland, equipment and<br />
the grain storage, it’s usually difficult<br />
to provide Susie and Jimmy with anything<br />
close to comparable value. This<br />
has always been a problem, but it<br />
becomes more difficult as land values<br />
rise.<br />
While there are new challenges, it’s<br />
great to see the youth movement in<br />
agriculture, even if it isn’t being captured<br />
in the official stats.<br />

DEMOCRACY | FREEDOMS<br />
Canadians<br />
losing faith<br />
in democracy<br />
11<br />
EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK<br />
JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR<br />
Is government bruising<br />
our faith in democracy?<br />
I<br />
was recently in Toronto to celebrate<br />
the induction of Barry Wilson,<br />
our Ottawa correspondent,<br />
into the Canadian Agricultural Hall<br />
of Fame.<br />
Before the big night, however, I<br />
spent two days in Ottawa and was<br />
delighted to get Wilson’s Tour of Parliament<br />
Hill.<br />
Impressed as I was by all the statues,<br />
it was John Diefenbaker’s I stood<br />
before with awe. I recalled that he<br />
was instrumental in attacking apartheid,<br />
advocating for throwing South<br />
Africa out of the Commonwealth.<br />
I remembered that we owe our Bill<br />
of Rights to his dedication to civil<br />
liberties.<br />
To this day, his words of July 1, 1960,<br />
comprise my favourite quote of all<br />
time, and I still cannot read them<br />
without getting a lump in my throat.<br />
“I am a Canadian, a free Canadian,<br />
free to speak without fear, free to worship<br />
God in my own way, free to<br />
stand for what I think right, free to<br />
oppose what I believe wrong, or free<br />
to choose those who shall govern my<br />
country. This heritage of freedom I<br />
pledge to uphold for myself and all<br />
mankind.”<br />
I was not yet born when he said<br />
those words. I have lived in this country<br />
all my life as a beneficiary of that<br />
heritage. I became a journalist, as<br />
many do, because I believe in these<br />
freedoms, particularly to speak without<br />
fear.<br />
This is the basis of true democracy.<br />
This is why I was saddened to read a<br />
recent Globe and Mail story headlined,<br />
“Canadians quickly losing<br />
faith in their democracy.”<br />
Just 55 percent of Canadians say<br />
they are satisfied with democracy in<br />
this country, down 20 points from<br />
2004, according to research by the<br />
non-profit political participation<br />
group Samara.<br />
Twenty points in eight years is a<br />
lot. That should be a wake-up call to<br />
every politician in this nation. But it’s<br />
also up to us to tell them what we<br />
think, and we have the Supreme<br />
Court of Canada behind us on that.<br />
“Democracy cannot be maintained<br />
without its foundation: free<br />
public opinion and free discussion<br />
throughout the nation of all matters<br />
affecting the state within the limits<br />
set by the criminal code and the<br />
common law.”<br />
Believe it. And remember, you are<br />
free to choose those who shall govern<br />
your country. Diefenbaker said so.

RESPONSIBLE ENERGY BILL<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Bill 2, the Responsible Energy<br />
Development Act, has been introduced<br />
in the Alberta legislature and I<br />
believe this is a very important piece<br />
of legislation for the people of Fort<br />
Saskatchewan-Vegreville.<br />
This bill will create a new single<br />
energy regulator for the province.<br />
This is a common sense, one-window<br />
approach that makes it easier for<br />
Albertans, landowners and industry<br />
to navigate the system.<br />
This is a significant change for our<br />
province. It was based on years of consultation,<br />
which allowed many Albertans<br />
and stakeholders to provide<br />
Born Ready.<br />
OPEN FORUM<br />
input into building the legislation.<br />
We heard from Albertans across the<br />
province that the new regulator<br />
needs to be efficient and effective for<br />
landowners. Bill 2 has a number of<br />
important provisions that will help<br />
landowners and in fact improve their<br />
participation compared to the current<br />
system.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new regulator will be required<br />
to provide Albertans with public<br />
notice about all applications.<br />
Under the current system, some<br />
applications are considered without<br />
notice.<br />
Another significant improvement<br />
for landowners is that every potentially<br />
affected Albertan can submit a<br />
statement of concern to the regulator<br />
if they believe they are directly and<br />

Everything about the all-new 6 Family of tractors tells you they’re<br />
ready for hard work. Ready to keep you comfortable during long hours<br />
and long days, thanks to redesigned cabs with up to 20 percent more<br />
interior space. Ready to lift loaded planters or heavy tillage tools, with<br />

previous models.<br />

or more and tougher chores...don’t worry about your tractor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new 6D, 6M, and 6R Series Tractors were born ready.<br />
adversely affected.<br />
Based on the extensive consultation<br />
process for this bill, we heard<br />
that landowners can be frustrated<br />
when industry is not living up to its<br />
end of the deal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill allows landowners the<br />
choice to register private surface<br />
agreements, which can then be<br />
enforced by the regulator.<br />
This provides landowners with a<br />
new and enhanced way to protect<br />
their interests.<br />
Finally, I know how important it is<br />
for Albertans to have a strong appeal<br />
mechanism. <strong>The</strong> new energy regulator<br />
will have independent hearing<br />
commissioners to handle appeals,<br />
plus it will also have an alternative<br />
dispute process.<br />
JohnDeere.com<br />
At its core, Bill 2 is about striking the<br />
balance between energy development,<br />
landowner rights and protecting<br />
the environment. I am confident<br />
we have found that balance.<br />

FOOD, HOUSING PRIORITIES<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Re: National food bank use reaches<br />
record levels (WP, Nov. 8). In the article,<br />
federal human resources minister<br />
Diane Finley was quoted as saying,<br />
“<strong>The</strong> difference between us and<br />
the NDP is we are acting.”<br />
Ms. Finley and the Conservatives<br />
are acting, all right. <strong>The</strong>y’re acting<br />
like they care about Canadians, but<br />
their inaction paints a different picture.<br />
Food Banks Canada released their<br />
annual hunger count and found<br />
there’s a growing reliance on food<br />
banks in both urban and rural areas.<br />
And the heartbreaking part is that<br />
almost half of those accessing food<br />
banks are children.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most pressing issue in Brandon,<br />
Man., is the lack of affordable<br />
housing. With only a 0.7 percent<br />
vacancy rate, residents are forced to<br />
use most of their disposable income<br />
to cover the high cost of housing. As a<br />
result, they have very little left over<br />
for food.<br />
For example, a family of two adults<br />
and one child accessing the local<br />
food bank, Samaritan House Ministries,<br />
has only approximately $105<br />
per month for food. Food hampers<br />
are provided every two weeks and the<br />
food provided generally lasts no<br />
more than three to four days.<br />
NDP MP Marie-Claude Morin<br />
recently introduced a private member’s<br />
bill, Bill C-400, that seeks to<br />
ensure secure, adequate, accessible<br />
and affordable housing for all Canadians.<br />
If passed, the bill would require the<br />
federal government to develop a<br />
national housing strategy. <strong>The</strong> Federation<br />
of Canadian Municipalities<br />
and thousands of Canadians have<br />
supported Morin’s bill.<br />
<strong>The</strong> health and well-being of Canadians<br />
will deteriorate as the Conservatives<br />
continue to refuse to address<br />
basic human rights such as healthy<br />
food and adequate housing. How<br />
many Conservative MPs will support<br />
Bill C–400? Give them a call and find<br />
out.<br />

DEBT QUESTION<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Thought for coffee row: why is it<br />
that Canada has now hit a record<br />

BAD MODEL<br />
To the Editor:<br />
In its recent long-winded (document)<br />
entitled Leadership after the<br />
Single Desk, the <strong>Western</strong> Barley<br />
Growers Association has produced<br />
an amazing hack job, full of inconsistencies<br />
and misleading statements.<br />
While claiming they are not shills<br />
for the industry, their actions have<br />
proven they identify with industry<br />
more than farmers.<br />
Since the WBGA accepts industry<br />
sponsorship, it is not surprising they<br />
lobby on behalf of industry in areas<br />
such as transportation and GMOs<br />
(genetically modified organisms).<br />
Court documents filed under oath<br />
show they had a membership of only<br />
130 and not all of those were even<br />
farmers.<br />
So it is highly improbable that<br />

SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES<br />
JOYCE SASSE<br />
A<br />
want ad in a newspaper read:<br />
“Wanted, one family to eat<br />
Christmas dinner with. I will<br />
furnish the turkey.”<br />
That ad brought tears. As a single<br />
person, I know about loneliness,<br />
even though I chose to be single.<br />
Those of us who feel alone probably<br />
think we are the only ones in this situation.<br />
Weekends and holidays hang<br />
especially heavy. But we don’t want<br />
to feel pitied and we don’t want to<br />
impose.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are ways, I’ve discovered, to<br />
make things easier.<br />
First, try to plan something for that<br />
time. Invite someone over, become<br />
involved in some activity, get a special<br />
book or movie. If you’ve lost a<br />
companion, do something different<br />
than has been your usual pattern.<br />
Second, I’ve learned from a friend<br />
with severe arthritis. She refuses to<br />
label herself an arthritic because she<br />
is more than that. She’s a wife, a<br />
mom, a friend. I’m not a spinster nor<br />
an old maid. You are more than a<br />
divorcee, a widower, a victim. Labels<br />
can smother you.<br />
Third, look for rainbows in your<br />
tears. Stand back and catch a glimpse<br />
of the fuller picture. <strong>The</strong> sun still continues<br />
to shine. People still laugh<br />
together, and so can you.<br />
My dad died unexpectedly while I<br />
was working overseas. Within hours I<br />
left my community to come home,<br />
leaving instructions to inform my<br />
Korean colleagues. When I returned,<br />
the principal of our school brought a<br />
purse of money to help me cover extra<br />
expenses. Regardless of their financial<br />
limitations, they knew about one’s<br />
duty to go home. Accepting their gift<br />
was humbling but so appreciated. I<br />
saw rainbows in my tears.<br />

if they want to follow the same<br />
path with barley and wheat. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
no doubt that is where the WBGA<br />
wants to lead us….<br />
If they truly are farmer advocates,<br />
then why have they stood by silently<br />
and watched the feds take over $400<br />
million out of AgriStability?<br />
Maybe an even more fundamental<br />
question is this: if the WBGA believes<br />
only in the market, then why do they<br />
even exist?<br />
Doesn’t the private market system<br />
actually have no room for associations<br />
like them? When will there be<br />
enough deregulation to satisfy the<br />
WBGA?<br />
Perhaps the WBGA needs to spend<br />
less time penning lofty, ludicrous<br />
pieces and instead ask themselves<br />
that very question.<br />

BEEF | SHIPPING<br />
XL Foods plant gets green light to ship to U.S.<br />
Exporting again | Brooks, Alta., plant begins shipping product following the largest beef recall in Canadian history<br />
BY BARB GLEN<br />
LETHBRIDGE BUREAU<br />
<strong>The</strong> XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta.,<br />
received clearance Dec. 7 to resume<br />
shipping product to the United States.<br />
That is a relief to Canadian cattle<br />
producers and to JBS, the multinational<br />
packing company that is operating<br />
the plant and has an option to<br />
buy it and other XL Foods assets.<br />
Exports from Alberta’s second largest<br />
meat processor were halted at the end<br />
of September when E. coli O157:H7<br />
was found in its meat products.<br />
At least 18 people were sickened<br />
from eating the meat, and the Canadian<br />
Food Inspection Agency subsequently<br />
suspended the plant’s<br />
licence to operate.<br />
That led to the largest beef recall in<br />
Canadian history, with thousands of<br />
products recalled in Canada and the<br />
U.S. and improvements required to<br />
the plant’s food safety systems.<br />
Regular plant operations resumed<br />
in October and last week the U.S.<br />
Department of Agriculture re-listed<br />
the plant, indicating exports could<br />
resume immediately.<br />
That means the plant has satisfied<br />

“I think this is very positive and<br />

have been solved in a very positive<br />

Unrau said little progress was being<br />
made on JBS’s purchase plan pending<br />

is very good news for everyone<br />

it continues “enhanced oversight<br />
activities” at the plant to ensure<br />
implementation of long-term preventive<br />

FARMLAND | OWNERSHIP<br />
Sask. appoints<br />
farmland<br />
investigator<br />
BY KAREN BRIERE<br />
REGINA BUREAU<br />
Persistent concerns about who is<br />
buying Saskatchewan farmland have<br />
pushed the province to act.<br />
Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart<br />
said the province has hired a special<br />
investigator to study recent and<br />
future large land deals and trace the<br />
flow of money.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are lots of rumours about it,”<br />
Stewart told the Agricultural <strong>Producer</strong>s<br />
Association of Saskatchewan’s<br />
annual meeting. “As far as we know,<br />
all of these people are Canadians and<br />
they’re welcome.”<br />
Canadian citizens, corporations<br />
that aren’t publicly traded and permanent<br />
residents are allowed to buy<br />
as much farmland as they want.<br />
However, non-residents and foreign<br />
corporations are limited to 10 acres.<br />
Exemptions are often made for<br />
companies to establish operations<br />
such as potash mines. <strong>The</strong> Saskatchewan<br />
Farmland Security Board can<br />
also grant an exemption to allow<br />
people time to establish residence.<br />
However, residents have begun to<br />
ask who their neighbours really are as<br />
investor-owned farms become more<br />
common.<br />
“Does the government have a finger<br />
on the pulse of who is becoming land<br />
owners?” APAS delegate Terry Hildebrandt<br />
asked Stewart. “We don’t<br />
really know where the money is coming<br />
from.”<br />
Some say farmland is selling far<br />
above what it would have a couple of<br />
years ago. It’s good for sellers but not<br />
so good for local buyers who say they<br />
can’t compete with deep investor<br />
pockets.<br />
In particular, Chinese-Canadian<br />
investors have bought large tracts,<br />
including 27 quarters south of Regina,<br />
leading to speculation that the<br />
money is really coming from out of<br />
the country.<br />
Stewart said complaints are already<br />
investigated, but the board’s capacity<br />
to do so is limited.<br />
“So far it hasn’t been found that any<br />
of them have been funded by offshore<br />
money,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> flow of money is important<br />
because it could reveal true ownership.
FEDERAL BUDGET | APPROVAL<br />
Changes to grain act proceed<br />
Budget goes to Senate | Canadian Grain Commission funding to decline<br />
BY BARRY WILSON<br />
OTTAWA BUREAU<br />
<strong>The</strong> government’s mammoth budget<br />
bill, with its changes to the Canadian<br />
Grain Commission, was<br />
approved and sent to the Senate in a<br />
raucous House of Commons vote last<br />
week.<br />
Final approval could happen as<br />
early as this week before Parliament<br />
adjourns for a Christmas break that<br />
stretches into late January.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Senate agriculture committee<br />
already has completed and endorsed<br />
proposed changes to the Canada<br />
Grain Act, and the overall budget bill<br />
of more than 400 pages is expected to<br />
pass quickly in the Conservativedominated<br />
chamber.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill sets up the grain industry<br />
for higher user fee charges while ending<br />
traditional mandatory services,<br />
including inward inspection<br />
between prairie elevators and terminals.<br />
Government funding for the grain<br />
commission will decline sharply and<br />
most of its funding will come from<br />
industry service payments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> system to guarantee grain handler<br />
payments to producers will<br />
switch from the current bonding<br />
system to a mandatory insurance<br />
model.<br />
Chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson<br />
told the Commons agriculture<br />
committee Dec. 5 that the commission<br />
changes are part of an historic<br />
grain sector policy overhaul that<br />
includes ending the CWB single<br />
desk.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> grain sector is at a pivotal<br />
juncture when public policies and<br />
regulatory structures need to keep<br />
pace with rapid changes in the marketplace,”<br />
he told MPs a day after the<br />
budget vote, which led to swearing<br />
and near fisticuffs on the floor of Parliament.<br />
<strong>Western</strong> Canadian Wheat Growers<br />
Association chair Gerrid Gust said<br />
that while recognizing the regulatory<br />
victories, the organization now has<br />
its sights set on other changes that are<br />
needed to help industry efficiency.<br />
He told MPs the government<br />
should follow these steps:<br />
• Outlaw strikes and lockouts in the<br />
railway system. “In our view, rail<br />
services should be deemed an<br />
essential service.”<br />
• End union rules at the Port of Vancouver<br />
that stop workers from<br />
loading grain if it rains more than<br />
five millimetres in a day. It is considered<br />
a safety hazard and delays<br />
loading of waiting ships. “We<br />
understand that ships load grain in<br />
the rain in Portland, Oregon, and<br />
around the world,” Gust said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is no need for Canadian<br />
farmers to be put at a competitive<br />
disadvantage.”<br />
• Introduce tough legislation,<br />
expected this week, to force railways<br />
to meet service standards for<br />
shippers.<br />
Meanwhile, Hermanson warned<br />
against arguments from some<br />
lobby groups that outward inspection<br />
at terminals sending grain to<br />
export should also be made voluntary.<br />
Unlike inward inspection, outward<br />
inspection helps guarantee customers<br />
of the quality and identity of the<br />
grain they are buying, he said.<br />
Outward inspection fees charged to<br />
the industry must increase as part of<br />
cost recovery, he added, but that is<br />
not a reason to make them voluntary<br />
at industry discretion.<br />
Several prairie grain groups that<br />
support deregulation said industry<br />
should have a choice about whether<br />
they want the service.<br />
Hermanson said mandatory outward<br />
inspection was cancelled in the<br />
United States in the 1970s, “and they<br />
had a wreck.” Mandatory U.S. outward<br />
inspection was reinstated.<br />
NEWS THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13, 2012<br />
“We just have to be very cautious<br />
that we don’t tamper with what has<br />
given us our Canada brand at the current<br />
time,” he told MPs.<br />
He said the commission is now sifting<br />
through the results of consultations<br />
on the proposed new fee structure,<br />
which will be implemented<br />
Aug. 1. <strong>The</strong> new rules will be<br />
announced soon.<br />
Many interveners said the government<br />
proposal to cover only $5 million<br />
of the commission budget as a<br />
public good should be sharply<br />
increased to lower industry costs.<br />

BIOFUEL | BIODIESEL<br />
Renewable fuel<br />
lobby shifts<br />
focus to biodiesel<br />
BY BARRY WILSON<br />
OTTAWA BUREAU<br />
Canada’s renewable fuel lobby is<br />
setting aside its campaign to convince<br />
Ottawa that the five percent ethanol<br />
mandate for gasoline content should<br />
be increased to 10 percent.<br />
Instead, the Canadian Renewable<br />
Fuels Association is concentrating<br />
on convincing the federal government<br />
to increase the content mandate<br />
for biodiesel from two percent to<br />
five percent.<br />
It will also pressure the Ontario and<br />
Quebec governments to create the<br />
same kind of provincial biofuel content<br />
mandates that exist in western<br />
provinces.<br />
A mandatory two percent national<br />
content mandate for biodiesel takes<br />
effect Jan. 1, including Quebec and<br />
the Maritime provinces for the first<br />
time. It is expected to add 140 million<br />
litres to the market for biodiesel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> retreat from an earlier lobby<br />
effort to double the ethanol mandate<br />
level is largely because the Canadian<br />
ethanol industry does not have the<br />
capacity to meet the five percent<br />
mandate now in place.<br />
<strong>The</strong> industry is asking for more government<br />
help to expand production<br />
capacity.<br />
Canada imports as much as 10 percent<br />
of the ethanol it needs to meet<br />
the five percent ethanol mandate in<br />
gasoline.<br />
“We do want to see the mandate<br />
grow on the biodiesel side from two<br />
to five percent,” CRFA president Scott<br />
Thurlow said in a Nov. 4 interview<br />
during the association’s annual convention.<br />
“As an association, we’re still talking<br />
about whether we want to move<br />
the ethanol mandate up from five to<br />
10, but before we do anything on the<br />
ethanol side we want to be sure we<br />
can meet it all through 100 percent<br />
domestic capacity, and we’re still not<br />
there yet.”<br />
In his speech to the annual meeting,<br />
Thurlow said the CRFA is asking<br />
the federal government to re-open<br />
the eco-energy for biofuels program<br />
to allow new plant proposals or<br />
expansions to receive help.<br />
He also praised the federal government<br />
for its support of the biofuel<br />
sector, its establishment of the mandates<br />
that have supported industry<br />
growth and its overall greenhouse<br />
gas reduction record.<br />
“I think the government gets a little<br />
bit of a raw deal when people say that<br />
they’re not anything on climate<br />
change because the truth is, Canada’s<br />
biofuels policy is a winner at<br />
reducing GHGs (greenhouse gases),”<br />
said Thurlow. “We have a demonstrated<br />
program that is working.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> renewable fuel lobby has a<br />
strong connection with the Conservatives,<br />
and the group has placed<br />
advertisements throughout downtown<br />
Ottawa thanking the government<br />
for its support of the industry.<br />
Thurlow said Canada can meet its<br />
international climate change promises<br />
in large part through the reduction in<br />
fuel emissions because of biofuel and<br />
the federal requirement that it be part<br />
of the national fuel policy.<br />

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY | CUTTING COSTS<br />
Full steam ahead for CP’s cost reduction plan<br />
Effort to boost efficiency<br />
| <strong>The</strong> company is moving<br />
faster than expected on its<br />
turnaround plan<br />
CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Canadian<br />
Pacific Railway, the country’s second<br />
biggest rail carrier, announced<br />
Dec. 4 it will cut 4,500 jobs by 2016.<br />
<strong>The</strong> move is part of a drive by the<br />
company’s new chief executive officer<br />
to slash costs and improve operating<br />
efficiency, now the industry’s<br />
worst.<br />
<strong>The</strong> job reductions, announced by<br />
CEO Hunter Harrison during a<br />
speech in New York, were deeper<br />
than expected. <strong>The</strong> company, which<br />
has 19,500 employees and contractors,<br />
had earlier estimated it would<br />
cut five to 10 percent of its workforce,<br />
or 1,950 at the most.<br />
In his speech, Harrison said he has<br />
pushed hard to cut costs in the five<br />
months since he was installed as<br />
CEO after a proxy battle led by William<br />
Ackman’s Pershing Square<br />
Capital Management Ltd, the U.S.<br />
hedge fund that is CP’s largest shareholder.<br />
“Make no mistake, this is clearly,<br />
initially, a cost take-out story,” he<br />
said. “I would emphasize to you this<br />
is not some experiment in a laboratory.<br />
This is a proven, tried and tested<br />
model.”<br />
Releasing an outline of its formal<br />
turnaround plan ahead of the<br />
speech, the company repeated its<br />
pledge to achieve an aggressive target<br />
for operating efficiency.<br />
It aims to lower its operating ratio to<br />
the mid-60s by 2016 from 74.1 percent<br />
now.<br />

A push for efficiency has seen Canadian Pacific Railway’s hump yards closed and senior executives let go. <strong>The</strong><br />
company plans more efficiency changes and more job cutting by 2016. | FILE PHOTO<br />
<strong>The</strong> ratio, which shows operating<br />
expenses as a percentage of revenue,<br />
is a key indicator in the rail industry:<br />
the lower the number, the better. CP’s<br />
ratio in the third quarter was the<br />
highest among North America’s six<br />
biggest railways.<br />
Harrison said the pace of the<br />
change may be faster than predicted<br />
for the first 18 months, but will then<br />
“settle in.”<br />
He said the company has closed<br />
hump yards, which are used to sort<br />
rail cars, in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary<br />
and Chicago since he took the<br />
helm. That will save $40 to $50 million<br />
in direct costs, with “much more”<br />
in indirect savings, he added.<br />

<strong>The</strong> company has also closed intermodal<br />
terminals in Milwaukee,<br />
Toronto and Chicago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company expects compound<br />
annual revenue growth of four to<br />
seven percent, measured against a<br />
2012 base, as it moves toward its 2016<br />
target. It expects cash flow before<br />
dividends of $900 million to $1.4 billion<br />

Harrison also said the company<br />
will relocate its headquarters from<br />
downtown Calgary to a rail yard in<br />
the city, saving $18 million annually.<br />
CP is also considering the sale of surplus<br />
real estate.<br />

CP said it would review options for<br />
its Delaware and Hudson Railway<br />
Co. line in the U.S. Northeast as it<br />
looks for potential assets to divest.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> first thing I did when I came to<br />
this organization ... was take the map<br />
home at night and start saying what<br />
if, what if,” Harrison said. “What if we<br />
could do this? What if we could do<br />
that?”<br />
<strong>The</strong> company also said it was<br />
exploring options and partnerships<br />
for the western part of its Dakota,<br />
Minnesota & Eastern Railroad.<br />
A string of senior executives have<br />
left the company, including the chief<br />
operating officer, under Harrison’s<br />
push to reduce bureaucracy and red<br />
tape.<br />
Harrison, who is currently serving<br />
as COO and CEO, said the company<br />
is in no hurry to hire his successor. He<br />
has previously said he plans to stay at<br />
CP for three to five years.<br />
Harrison was Ackman’s favoured<br />
candidate for CEO ahead of the<br />
boardroom coup that saw Fred<br />
Green, the previous CEO, resign on<br />
the eve of the company’s May annual<br />
meeting.<br />
A lifelong railroader who headed<br />
up CP’s chief rival, Canadian National<br />
Railway, until 2009, Harrison is<br />
widely credited with making it into<br />
North America’s most efficient railway.

get an idea where the actual issues<br />
are,” Gervais said.<br />
He said there are limits as to how far<br />
this kind of information can be<br />
inferred because it is only a sample of<br />
the concerns and there is a risk of<br />
missing an important group and<br />
addressing the wrong issues.<br />
Sometimes what people think is<br />
causing problems is actually beneficial<br />
for the watershed, he added.<br />
“Take beavers for example. A lot of<br />
people will say that 30 years ago the<br />
river was flowing beautifully and there<br />
was lots of water and it was always<br />
clear because beavers were shot or<br />
trapped. Well, we know now that having<br />
beavers in the watershed is actually<br />
better for its ecological state.”<br />
Issues facing the Sturgeon watershed<br />
include lower precipitation<br />
over the past 20 years, more cottage<br />
communities on the lakes, and<br />
increased phosphorus and sedimentation<br />
in the water. <strong>The</strong> watershed<br />
received a grade of fair in the State of<br />
the Sturgeon Watershed Report<br />
released earlier this year.<br />
Researchers also did a cultural literature<br />
review examining family<br />
histories and municipal archives and<br />
interviewed people who lived in the<br />
watershed. <strong>The</strong> study will likely be<br />
published with the Alberta Rural<br />
Development Network.<br />

BY JOHN KAPICKI<br />
FREELANCE WRITER<br />
Christmas 60 years ago looked different<br />
than it does today.<br />
As a little kid, I looked forward to it<br />
because there was always candy<br />
around, the real Japanese oranges<br />
and an assortment of nuts.<br />
I always ate well growing up on a<br />
farm, but at this time of year I got to<br />
taste goodies we didn’t get the rest of<br />
the year.<br />
We’d go to my grandparents, which<br />
seemed so far away at six miles down<br />
the road, where we would enjoy a<br />
special Ukrainian Christmas dinner.<br />
We got a coloured handkerchief<br />
with a quarter, a dime and a nickel<br />
wrapped in it. It was money we treasured.<br />
We also got to have pop, candy and<br />
nuts, as well as our stockings filled with<br />
other goodies. I remember feeling how<br />
nice it was to listen to my uncles talk<br />
about their experiences at work.<br />
At first this all took place in a small<br />
two-room log and mud-plastered<br />
house. It was warm and cozy.<br />
Other people we visited gave us a<br />
little change. I would bring in close to<br />
$2 at the end of the season, at a time<br />
when money was scarce.<br />
Christmas went on and on because<br />
of the calendar our Ukrainian culture<br />
went by.<br />
Our gifts were predetermined long<br />
before Christmas day arrived, and<br />
depended on need more than want.<br />
Usually, they were items like socks,<br />
pants or a pair of felt boots. We did<br />
feel a bit cheated.<br />
At the country school, Santa handed<br />
out bags of goodies to everyone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> school always had a tree and we<br />
sang carols in English. Ukrainian was<br />
not tolerated then in school and<br />
speaking it would bring a harsh punishment.<br />
Church was important. At Christmas,<br />
church was crowded and there<br />
was a service at midnight. It was difficult<br />
to stand at church for what<br />
seemed an eternity as the preacher<br />
went on and on in a language (Slavonic)<br />
I never understood and only a<br />
few grown-ups knew.<br />
I was supposed to learn the Lord’s<br />
Prayer in this language, but never<br />
could.<br />
It was an age of confusion for me.<br />
English only at school, Ukrainian in<br />
the community and Slavonic in<br />
church.<br />
At home we sometimes had a simply<br />
decorated tree. When power<br />
came to our farm, we set up a tree<br />
with one string of lights and some<br />
tinsel. My sisters looked after that.<br />
Christmas was a time for visiting<br />
and when a few kids got together, we<br />
played games in the snow that no one<br />
plays now, such as Ring Around the<br />
Rosie.<br />
As well, we’d sometimes play<br />

Christmas past: simple, meaningful<br />
Warm memories | Special treats, coins, games and a Christmas tree with a string of lights followed by carols at church<br />
Christmas on the farm a half century ago was filled with family and friends and traditions. | FILE PHOTOS<br />
It’s a tradition in which carolers dress<br />
up and go from house to house performing<br />
small plays or playing<br />
pranks.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y scared us kids by doing strange<br />
things in the house that I didn’t<br />
understand, but they also handed out<br />
candy and peanuts.<br />
Just because it was festive season,<br />
21<br />
that didn’t mean the workload eased.<br />
<strong>The</strong> animals had to be fed and<br />
watered, pens had to be cleaned,<br />
cows milked, fires tended, ashes<br />
cleaned out and wood boxes filled.<br />
At the end of Christmas Day, I was<br />
tired. I was doing this work at a<br />
young age.<br />
At Christmas I always gave the animals<br />
a little extra feed and a bit more<br />
bedding in their pens.<br />
I think I could honestly say that as<br />
young kids we all knew the meaning<br />
and the reason for this special event.<br />
Jesus Christ was born this day, and<br />
He was very special. He later died for<br />
us — so all our sins could be forgiven,<br />
so that we can go to Heaven.<br />
It was also a time when people<br />
hitched horses to cutters and put<br />
bells on the harnesses.<br />
I recall going out with my sisters in a<br />
cutter pulled by a horse with bells on<br />
the harness.<br />
We went around the block, six<br />
miles, dropping into a few places to<br />
warm up and, of course, hoping for<br />
more goodies, which we always got.<br />
In those days there were 15 families<br />
in the six-mile area around us and<br />
only a few had a car.<br />
Yes, Christmas has changed a lot.<br />
This season is more commercialized<br />
now, and some children never hear<br />
about the miracle of Jesus’s birth.<br />
This is very sad. We have really lost a<br />
lot in those 60 years.<br />
Twelve special dishes are prepared<br />
for the Christmas Eve meal that begins<br />
only after the first star appears.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dishes are to remind us of the<br />
twelve Apostles. Food for the Holy<br />
Supper is prepared with no meat or<br />
dairy products.<br />
At our Christmas Eve meals, hay<br />
was put under the table as a reminder<br />
of the humble place of Christ’s birth.<br />
On top of the table was an embroidered<br />
tablecloth.<br />
According to tradition, in the middle<br />
of the table a kolach (bread) is placed<br />
with a candle, which is left burning.<br />
A lit candle is also placed in the<br />
window to welcome any homeless or<br />
lonely people. <strong>The</strong>re is an extra table<br />
setting for the deceased souls. When<br />
all the family is at the table, prayers<br />
are recited and Boh Predvichny (God<br />
eternal) is sung.<br />
After supper, nuts and candies are<br />
scattered in the hay under the table<br />
for the children to find. Throughout<br />
the rest of the evening, carols are<br />
sung.<br />
When it is midnight, everyone goes<br />
to the nativity mass at church.

Angus-Simmental cross | Young Alberta couple<br />
hopes to own a larger ranch to raise their family<br />
Jake Meyer seems just the kind of<br />
rancher that the Cattlemen’s Young<br />
Leaders program is looking for. He’s<br />
young, involved in the beef industry<br />
and has plans for the future that<br />
include a larger ranch and a larger<br />
herd.<br />
And he is currently enrolled in the<br />
CYL program, which is organized<br />
through Canada Beef and assigns upand-comers<br />
with mentors in the cattle<br />
industry so they can develop<br />
desired skills.<br />
Meyer, 28, and his wife, Tanya, run<br />
cattle on a quarter section along Pothole<br />
Creek, just south of Lethbridge.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also lease pasture near Pincher<br />
Creek and Vulcan, Alta., and have 140<br />
head of Angus-Simmental crossbred<br />
cows.<br />
Meyer has been matched through<br />
CYL with former Alberta Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s<br />
president and former MLA<br />
Arno Doerksen because of his interest<br />
in beef industry politics.<br />
He already has his foot in the door,<br />
having been elected as an ABP delegate<br />
for Zone 2 last month.<br />
“I want to be a leader in the industry,”<br />
says Meyer. “I’ve always been a<br />
leader my whole life. And if you’re<br />
going to be a leader, you need to be in<br />
there where the decisions are made.”<br />
But that’s not his only interest. He<br />
and Tanya are focused much of the<br />

to serving you in the New Year.<br />

and five-month-old twins Bradley<br />
and Devin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple joke that they have good<br />
hired hands in the making, but it’s too<br />
soon to know for sure.<br />
“We hope that our kids are going to<br />
be active in the industry too,” says<br />
Jake. “We have our whole lives ahead<br />
of us.”<br />
Adds Tanya: “We’ll have to have a<br />
large ranch just to keep them occupied.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple have been married for<br />
three years. Jake grew up in nearby<br />
Montana and always had plans to<br />
own his own ranch.<br />
He got work in the oil industry,<br />
earning roles of increasing responsibility<br />
until he finally became the<br />
youngest manager his company had<br />
ever had, at the age of 22.<br />
He was running an oil rig in Argentina,<br />
but his dream of having a ranch,<br />
a wife and a family remained strong.<br />
“Things were very stressful down<br />
there,” he recalls. “I didn’t want that<br />
lifestyle.”<br />

He met Tanya when he was visiting<br />
ranching friends. She is a rancher’s<br />
daughter and avid horsewoman<br />
who grew up in rural southern<br />
Alberta.<br />
“I love living in the country,” says<br />
Tanya.<br />
“I love being outside.”<br />
Three young boys leave her little<br />
time for other pursuits, but she insists<br />
on helping with fall roundup.<br />
She shares Jake’s ambition to one<br />
day own a larger ranch, ideally in<br />
prime ranching country around<br />
Pincher Creek.<br />
“I think if I didn’t support him, he’d<br />
do it anyway,” says Tanya. “And he’s<br />
really good at it. He’s definitely a<br />
leader kind of a person.”<br />
She hopes to take a bookkeeping<br />
course so she can manage the ranch<br />
accounts, and she’d like to explore an<br />
agricultural business degree when<br />
the children are older.<br />
Opportunities to expand the ranch<br />
are limited in this part of Alberta.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are surrounded by farmland,<br />
much of it irrigated and the rest targeted<br />
by developers for acreage subdivision.<br />
That’s why they run cattle in three<br />
different locations, a practice that<br />
requires lots of horseback riding and<br />
transport.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir heifers are artificially inseminated,<br />
calve in March and April and<br />
are sold in the fall along with the<br />
calves. <strong>The</strong>y’ve bought new heifers<br />
every year in an effort to acquire cash<br />
flow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angus-Simmental cross works<br />
well for their plans.<br />
“A lot of feedlots like that cross,” says<br />
Jake. “I’m kind of biased to black.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir lives are busy now, but their<br />
dreams are tantalizingly close and<br />
they have the energy to pursue<br />
them.<br />
“It’s tough to get started, when you<br />
are young, but it’s not impossible,”<br />
says Jake about owning and operating<br />
a ranch.<br />
“It just takes a lot of sacrifice and a<br />
lot of discipline and a lot of patience.”<br />

with “yummy” sauce.<br />
When I was a little kid we went to<br />

sauce” and I got it!<br />
After Great Grandma moved to the<br />

Kieper’s and though she made the<br />
traditional pudding and sauce, she<br />
asked the grandchildren what their<br />
favourite dessert would be. With no hesitation we all said butterscotch<br />
pie, so she spoiled the<br />
grandchildren and made her delicious<br />
pie and her wonderful pudding.<br />

CHRISTMAS TRADITION | HOLY EVE MEAL<br />
Christmas celebration<br />
keeps heritage alive<br />
Ukrainian feast enjoyed with family and friends<br />
BY NADEN HEWKO<br />
FREELANCE WRITER<br />
My parents immigrated to Canada<br />
from Ukraine, where Christmas was<br />
celebrated on the old Julian calendar,<br />
making this holy day fall on Jan. 6 in<br />
Canada.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y respected Dec. 25 celebrations<br />
also, but remained faithful to<br />
their own culture.<br />
Christmas Eve was regarded as the<br />
most special evening in anticipation<br />
of the birth of Christ.<br />
A holy eve supper was prepared for<br />
the immediate family. I recall my<br />
mother including us in the preparations<br />
for this meal of traditional<br />
Ukrainian food.<br />
A day or two before, our task was to<br />
pick over a few cups of wheat, removing<br />
any weed seeds and damaged<br />
grain. This was soaked overnight in<br />
cold water and formed the basis of<br />
kutia, the first dish served.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wheat was gently simmered<br />
until tender and the kernels burst<br />
open. Poppy seeds were partially<br />
ground and added to the cooking<br />
mixture. It was then cooled and<br />
sweetened with liquid honey.<br />
Father would bring a little evergreen<br />
from town and keep it frozen<br />
outdoors until morning. It was<br />
placed in a container of sand, then<br />
brought into the house and decorated<br />
by the children — with his supervision.<br />
We also had to keep the woodbox<br />
filled because everything was<br />
cooked on the wood burning kitchen<br />
stove. Mother spent the day in the<br />
kitchen preparing all the food.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dishes in order of presentation<br />
include: kutia, borsch, braided<br />
bread called kalach, fried fish, sauteed<br />
onions with mushroom sauce,<br />
two kinds of perogies, two kinds of<br />
cabbage rolls, fruit compote made<br />
from dried apples, figs and prunes,<br />
pumpyshkies —deep fried like<br />
doughnuts without the hole — and<br />
baked fruit filled rolls, called perishkies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> menu can vary with the families,<br />
but all start with kutia.<br />
Growing up, the children looked<br />
forward to this delicious meal. When<br />
I married, I kept up the tradition of<br />
the Ukrainian style Christmas Eve<br />
supper but adjusted the date to<br />
Dec. 24 in keeping with our Canadian<br />
dates.<br />
We wear our Ukrainian shirts<br />
embroidered by relatives in Ukraine.<br />
Our children love the food and prefer<br />
it over the traditional turkey dinner<br />
we serve on Dec. 25.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y often choose to be home for<br />
the Holy Eve supper rather than for<br />
Christmas Day.<br />
One year, one of our newly married<br />
sons could not make it to the farm for<br />
the Holy Eve Supper yet he expressed<br />
a deep desire to have a traditional<br />
meal on the 24th.<br />
We were able to freeze and pack off<br />
most of the dishes and have it delivered<br />
to where he and his bride were<br />
spending the holiday. Our children<br />
have learned how to prepare the special<br />
food for the Ukrainian Holy Eve<br />
supper when they cannot join us due<br />
to distance and work.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grandchildren have developed<br />
a fondnesss for the meal and our<br />
adult granddaughters have learned<br />
to successfully prepare a Holy Eve<br />
meal using my recipes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tradition is being passed on<br />
through the generations.<br />
When Jan. 6 comes around, I prepare<br />
the Holy Eve supper food once<br />
more and ask family and close<br />
friends to share it with us.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y enjoy the food and we enjoy<br />
their company.<br />

THE MORE<br />
THINGS CHANGE …<br />
MICHAEL GILLGANNON<br />
<strong>The</strong> reverse life cycle was invented<br />
by comedian George<br />
Carlin. <strong>The</strong> late George Carlin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> premise is that life is unfair (we<br />
all know that). And life is tough,<br />
right?<br />
So why does it have to end with<br />
death? Is death supposed to be some<br />
kind of bonus?<br />
It would be better if we started out<br />
dead, then moved into an old folks’<br />
home where we could eat canned<br />
peaches for a couple of years and<br />
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13, 2012<br />
HUMOUR | FROM END TO BEGINNING<br />
An about turn on the good old days<br />
talk incessantly about the good old<br />
days that haven’t even happened yet.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n after we get kicked out of the<br />
home for being too young, we get a<br />
job, or several jobs, and cop a gold<br />
watch after 30 or 40 years.<br />
Eventually, when we’re actually<br />
young enough to enjoy retirement,<br />
we do drugs, have keg parties and<br />
ride around town with nothing to do<br />
and lots of time to not do it in.<br />
After a few years of this, we become<br />
a kid. <strong>The</strong> prime directive of a kid is to<br />
mess around and not have any<br />
responsibilities beyond making sure<br />
we don’t set the cat on fire.<br />
After kid comes baby, and that<br />
means being waited on hand and<br />
foot.<br />
Only drawback — it’s back to the<br />
canned peaches — and worse. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
we get to float around in a warm dark<br />
place for nine months listening to the<br />
beat of a jungle drum a.k.a. heartbeat.<br />

After that, it’s lights out — a pretty<br />
good payoff for all that time<br />
spent working for a living way back<br />
when.<br />
Some might spot a connection<br />
between our last days on earth and<br />
our early days of babyhood. <strong>The</strong><br />
main difference is the address.<br />
As babies, we live at 234 Main<br />
Street or 189 Pinehouse Road. When<br />
we are geezers, our keepers like to<br />
put us in quaint sounding places<br />
that include words like “downs,” as in<br />
“Royal Oak Downs,” and “view,” as in<br />
“Shady View.”<br />
Unfortunately, the view of those<br />
canned peaches is seldom shady<br />
and more often overly fluorescent.<br />
Not having personally experienced<br />
Shady View or Royal Oak<br />
Downs, I am loathe to condemn<br />
them outright, but since most of my<br />
life experience revolves around television,<br />
it’s clear that Livia Soprano<br />
(remember <strong>The</strong> Sopranos?) was<br />
deeply suspicious of her particular<br />
Shady View.<br />
And deeply suspicious of her son<br />
Tony for putting her there. So much<br />
so that she tried to get Junior Soprano<br />
to facilitate Tony’s sleeping with<br />
the fishes.<br />
And Livia’s Shady View (actually<br />
Green Grove) was the priciest retirement<br />
home in New Jersey.<br />
At any rate, I don’t think Royal<br />
Oak Grove Shady Downs type places<br />
like their guests carting in 75-pound<br />
subwoofers, which I am afraid I<br />
would have to stipulate as an entitlement.<br />
And two cats, of course.<br />

children and all their significant others,<br />
ranging in age from two to 32,<br />
head to the farm to take part in the<br />
tree hunt. This is a tradition that<br />
Grandma and Grandpa started years<br />
ago to allow the family to experience<br />
the fun and family ties a tree hunt can<br />
create.<br />
Everyone gathers in the house until<br />
the last one arrives. When Grandma<br />
says, “time to go,” we head out to the<br />
porch and get on our winter gear.<br />
Once everyone is dressed, we load<br />
��������������������<br />
up the trucks. With Christmas carols<br />
blaring out of the radio, the older<br />
ones pile in elbow to elbow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> younger ones crawl in and take<br />
their positions on someone’s knee so<br />
they can peer out the window.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trucks are filled with laughter<br />
as we head out the driveway and start<br />
the hunt for the perfect tree.<br />
As we travel down the roads and<br />
across acres of farmland, everyone’s<br />
eyes are peeled for the tree.<br />
Once we find a clump of trees, the<br />
trucks stop and everyone jumps out.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are smiles on children’s<br />
faces, the snowballs are flying and<br />
someone is being buried in the<br />
snow.<br />
As we move through knee deep<br />
snow the younger ones ride on the<br />
shoulders of the others. With red<br />
cheeks from the cold, they are still on<br />
lookout for the tree.<br />
When we find it, we all gather round<br />
and watch Grandpa cut it down.<br />

We pull back into the long driveway<br />

CHRISTMAS TRADITION | WOMEN’S GET-TOGETHER<br />
Christmas gathering honours families<br />
This festive occasion brings together<br />
many Welch relatives. <strong>The</strong>y meet<br />
to keep the spirit of our family strong.<br />
<strong>The</strong> highlight of the party is to share<br />
good food and kick off the Christmas<br />
season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hostess varies from throughout<br />
central Saskatchewan. Each year, the<br />
hostess chooses a charity. Instead of<br />
gifts, we donate to a favorite cause.<br />
Our donations have honoured<br />
Welch women we have lost and<br />
other charities that our now dear to<br />
our hearts from food banks and Parkinson’s<br />
disease to cancer and brain<br />
injury organizations.<br />
Christmas is about family and this<br />
party reminds us of the value of the<br />
season. Those of us who have lost our<br />
mothers and sisters come to feel a<br />
connection and want to honour to<br />
our loved ones.<br />
We have had traditions emerge<br />
over the years. <strong>The</strong> hostess receives a<br />
huge bag of cabbage rolls, a much<br />
sought after family favourite. This<br />
encourages some women to want to<br />
host to receive Carole’s cabbage rolls<br />
or Aunt Ruth’s cake donuts or Aunt<br />
Pat’s tarts, which were really Aunt<br />
Lily’s recipe.<br />
This year, the party was held in<br />
Prince Albert at my cousin Lorie’s.
PASTIMES | COLLECTING<br />
BY CHRISTALEE FROESE<br />
FREELANCE WRITER<br />
OXBOW, Sask. — Michael Bartolf is<br />
a walking, breathing historical<br />
library. He has shelves, countertops,<br />
tables and rooms stacked with books,<br />
magazines, newspaper clippings and<br />
self-made indexes to many of his collections.<br />
If you ask him about the history of<br />
Saskatchewan, he has more than 300<br />
community history books to grab.<br />
Bartolf also has an index documenting<br />
every post office opening<br />
and closing date in the province, as<br />
well as the land descriptions.<br />
For example, one entry for White<br />
Bear states that the opening date was<br />
1911-02-11 with the land description<br />
being 18-22-16W3.<br />
In addition, the 84-year-old-retired<br />
Saskatchewan farmer has created<br />
numerous indexes from <strong>The</strong> Globe<br />
and Mail, <strong>The</strong> New York Times, <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Western</strong> <strong>Producer</strong>, National Geographic<br />
and a number of local newspapers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se indexes track all references<br />
to anyone who ever came from<br />
Oxbow and area, with entries that<br />
include the publication, date, edition<br />
and page number for listings such as<br />
obituaries and feature stories.<br />
“I read about four or five newspapers<br />
every week and I watch for anything<br />
that is historical. <strong>The</strong> people<br />
can be a day old or 105 years old, as<br />
long as they have roots back here in<br />
Oxbow, I’ll index it,” said Bartolf.<br />
Collecting historical information<br />
consumes most of his day. Awake by<br />
6 a.m., he heads to his computer to<br />
begin collecting information about<br />
his community. At midnight, he is<br />
often found in the same corner spot.<br />
“Sometimes you’d think he was<br />
married to that computer,” said<br />
Michael’s wife, Ruth.<br />
Otto Neuman, chair of Oxbow’s<br />
Ralph Allen Memorial Railway<br />
Museum, said the Bartolfs have<br />
made an invaluable contribution to<br />
the community both as volunteers<br />
and as historical document keepers.<br />
“He has spent hours and hours<br />
keeping records for the museum and<br />
he does a lot of that work at home,”<br />
said Neuman.<br />
“I don’t know how else to describe<br />
his work but to say it’s priceless.<br />
Where else would you get that kind of<br />
information?”<br />
<strong>The</strong> most rewarding part for Bartolf<br />
is when he can connect visitors with<br />
their past. His most memorable visitor<br />
was a woman from Baltimore,<br />
Maryland, who travelled to Oxbow<br />
two years ago to trace her roots.<br />
With help from Bartolf, the woman<br />
spent two weeks in the area, eventually<br />
finding information about her<br />
grandfather, the mayor of Oxbow at<br />
the turn of the century.<br />
He was able to find the homestead<br />
of the family as well as information<br />
about her uncle, a Second World War<br />
veteran who was killed in a runaway<br />
horse accident involving a binder.<br />
“It’s all in the paper, you just have to<br />
open it up,” said Bartolf, who also<br />
tracked another uncle of the Balti-<br />
more woman.<br />
This uncle was a stonemason, and<br />
Bartolf was able to take her to one of<br />
four buildings in Oxbow he constructed.<br />
One of Bartolf’s most prized possessions<br />
is a 100-year-old copy of<br />
the Oxbow Herald, which he keeps<br />
in a plastic covering in a manila<br />
envelope.<br />
“I drink very little, I hunt somewhat<br />
and I don’t go coffeeing. I keep history<br />
books,” said Bartolf about his<br />
hobby.<br />

RESEARCH | RICHARDSON’S GROUND SQUIRRELS<br />
<strong>The</strong> secret lives of prairie rodents<br />
Population control | Although the Richardson’s ground squirrel can cause havoc, researcher stresses humane control<br />
BY BARB GLEN<br />
LETHBRIDGE BUREAU<br />
She is in the mood for love for only<br />
two hours on one afternoon of one<br />
day per year.<br />
That is the surprising biology of the<br />
female Richardson’s ground squirrel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> male’s sexual lot is only slightly<br />
better: he produces sperm for four<br />
weeks of the year and must time his<br />
mating activities with those precious<br />
two hours per year when the female<br />
will accept him.<br />
Given those restrictions, why do<br />
ground squirrels, commonly but<br />
incorrectly called gophers, seem so<br />
plentiful?<br />
Gail Michener, professor emeritus<br />
at the University of Lethbridge who<br />
has made a career out of studying<br />
Richardson’s ground squirrels, told<br />
a Nov. 30 lecture that the mobility of<br />
males and the ability of females to<br />
mate with multiple males is part of<br />
the reason for ground squirrel<br />
numbers.<br />
Ground squirrels have only one lit-<br />
ter per female per year of six to eight<br />
offspring per litter.<br />
Even so, there may not be as many<br />
of the rodents as farmers seem to<br />
think, depending on conditions.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> big problems have happened<br />
in recent years where we’ve had<br />
these drought years,” Michener said<br />
in an interview after her lecture.<br />
“Two things happen under drought<br />
conditions, one of which is the crops<br />
don’t do very well,” she said.<br />
“Ground squirrels of course<br />
evolved here on the Prairies so they<br />
Seek<br />
Treatment<br />
<strong>The</strong> treatment of JumpStart ® on canola, that is.<br />
For the love of canola, order your seed pre-treated with JumpStart to<br />
discover quicker emergence, improved vigour and higher yields.<br />
When you start out right, the results are more rewarding.<br />
Do the right thing: seek treatment at your local seed retailer<br />
and order your canola pre-treated with JumpStart today.<br />
For the love<br />
of canola<br />
can cope with drought. And you can<br />
see them more easily amongst the<br />
sparse crop, so there may not necessarily<br />
be more of them but they are<br />
easier to see and the farmer has<br />
already got a problem with growing a<br />
crop that’s not thriving under those<br />
conditions.”<br />
Michener has studied Richardson’s<br />
ground squirrels for 30 years at three<br />
sites in southern Alberta. Little was<br />
known about the life cycles and<br />
behaviours of the ubiquitous prairie<br />
rodents until her ground-breaking<br />

with customers across a broad array of industries we<br />

research began.<br />
“In the 1960s, little was known<br />
about them except how to kill them,”<br />
said Michener.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mammals’ habits of digging<br />
holes and eating crops make them<br />
the common bane of farmers.<br />
Michener amassed a wealth of<br />
information from years of in-field<br />
research, in which she trapped, eartagged<br />
and painted the rodents with<br />
hair dye for identification.<br />
Her admiration of the species was<br />

What I really hate is when<br />
people do their controlling<br />

underground waiting for their<br />

GAIL MICHENER<br />

aware that her research can be used<br />
in part to kill ground squirrels that are<br />
considered troublesome.<br />
“I certainly accept that there are<br />
situations under which the numbers<br />
of ground squirrels reaches the point<br />
where it’s definitely going to have an<br />
impact,” she said.<br />
Strychnine is a commonly used<br />
poison to kill ground squirrels.<br />
Though effective, it won’t eliminate<br />
them for long periods because they<br />
will re-invade when there is an existing<br />
burrow system and when environmental<br />
conditions are right.<br />
Michener said farmers need to<br />
accept some loss to ground squirrels,<br />
just as they accept some grain losses<br />
out the back of their combines.<br />
“You make a compromise there,<br />
and so there’s probably compromises<br />
that we can make with the ground<br />
squirrels, too. Tolerate this many,<br />
and once it gets to that many, do<br />
something about it.”<br />
Ideally, adults should be controlled<br />
in early spring, before many of them<br />
have mated. Females generally<br />
become pregnant within 10 days of<br />
emerging from hibernation. About<br />
one month later, there are six to eight<br />
times as many ground squirrels.<br />
“Now you’ve got a big task and it’s<br />
not really the right time to deal with it<br />
because you’ve got a bigger job than<br />
you would have had if you’d taken<br />
action in the spring.”<br />
Adult males enter hibernation in<br />
June and females in July, so poisoning<br />
in summer will kill juveniles but<br />
has no impact on adult populations.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y will come back next year<br />
even if you manage to get rid of the<br />
juveniles,” Michener said.<br />
She said farmers may not consider<br />
it,but there is a humane element in<br />
the timing of control efforts.<br />
“What I really hate is when people<br />
do their controlling when the females<br />
are lactating because I know the baby<br />
ground squirrels are sitting underground<br />
waiting for their mommy to<br />
come with milk. She never comes<br />
and they slowly starve to death.<br />
“I think farmers should be humane,<br />
and so if they’re going to control, they<br />
should control first thing in the<br />
spring, as soon as the animals are<br />
coming out of hibernation.”<br />

protection.<br />

Sir John Richardson was an explorer,<br />
surgeon and naturalist who travelled<br />
with the first two Franklin<br />
expeditions that were tasked with<br />
finding the Northwest Passage.<br />
He was not aboard Franklin‘s third<br />
ill-fated expedition that was lost in<br />
1845.<br />
Michener said Richardson came in<br />
contact with ground squirrels on one<br />
of the expedition’s cross-country<br />
treks from Hudson’s Bay to the Arctic<br />
Ocean, and sent specimens to the<br />
British Museum in 1820.<br />

a young farmer from Kenton,<br />

most famous environmentalist<br />
and his thoughts on modern agriculture.<br />

most farmers should revert to practices<br />

culture is simply not sustainable. It<br />
is based on converting oil into food,”<br />
Suzuki said at the book-signing<br />
table.<br />
“It takes six to eight calories of oil to<br />
make one calorie of food. That’s crazy.<br />
It’s totally unsustainable,” Suzuki<br />
added in an aggressive tone, jabbing<br />

when asked about the need for farmers<br />
to increase production to feed<br />
nine billion people by 2050.<br />
“You mean to tell me that western<br />
farmers have a responsibility to feed<br />
people in India, China and Europe?<br />
Bullshit,” he said, as about a dozen<br />
people waited for a box of his recent<br />
book, <strong>The</strong> Legacy, to be delivered to<br />
the table.<br />
“Everybody tells me that the goal<br />
of industrial agriculture is to feed<br />
the world’s masses. This is (how)<br />
Monsanto and all these companies<br />
justify genetically modified organisms.<br />
<strong>The</strong> people that need that<br />
food, they don’t have the money to<br />
pay for it. So don’t tell me that Monsanto<br />
is in the business of making<br />
genetically modified food so we can<br />
give it away to people in Africa….<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are in the business of making<br />
money… it’s just a rationalization to<br />
justify what they are doing.”<br />
Despite the radical message and<br />
the hard-hitting tone, Stevenson and<br />
other farmers who attended Suzuki’s<br />
Brandon speech said his comments<br />
have merit.<br />
For instance, Stevenson agreed that<br />
the existing crop production system<br />
isn’t sustainable.<br />
“Consumers are driving what we<br />
are producing and are we doing it in a<br />
sustainable way? Probably not. Phosphate<br />
isn’t going to last forever,” said<br />
Stevenson, who is in his 20s and<br />
helps run a conventional farm west<br />
of Brandon.<br />
As for pesticides, Stevenson said<br />
organic farming isn’t perfect because<br />
producers must deal with fungus,<br />
disease and potential mycotoxin<br />
contamination.<br />
On the other hand, conventional<br />
farmers may be too dependent on<br />
pesticides, he added.<br />
“Maybe we have to seriously consider<br />
getting rid of, or reducing the<br />
amount of chemicals that we do use.<br />
Lots of guys are spraying the same<br />
piece of land five or six times per<br />
year. That’s pretty intensive, in my<br />
opinion.”<br />
Consumer demand<br />
Clayton Robins, who farms near<br />
Rivers, Man., said people may not<br />
like Suzuki’s comments about agriculture,<br />
but producers can’t ignore<br />
his message or the reality that consumers<br />
want organic food.<br />
“It’s pretty hard to have somebody<br />
(like Suzuki) come in and tell you<br />
what to do … but you still have to listen,”<br />
Robins said, adding that many<br />
Canadians believe in Suzuki and<br />
people with similar messages.<br />
“We (farmers) are a very small percentage<br />
of the population, so what<br />
the population is saying, we can’t<br />
ignore.”<br />
While sharing his thoughts on agriculture<br />
at the book-signing table,<br />
Suzuki said farmers must adapt to<br />
make agriculture more sustainable.<br />
That’s fine from Stevenson’s point of<br />
view because change is a healthy part<br />
of the industry.<br />
“I just think it (farming) is going to<br />
keep evolving into something else,”<br />
he said. “That’s why agriculture is so<br />
exciting and interesting…. It’s<br />
(about) opportunity and change.<br />
Who wants to keep doing the same<br />
thing over and over again?”

Suzuki offers<br />
opinions<br />
David Suzuki delivered an aggressive<br />
and energetic speech on the<br />
state of the environmental movement<br />
during the Manitoba Conservation<br />
Districts Association annual<br />
meeting in Brandon Dec. 4.<br />
Following his presentation, Suzuki<br />
made several blunt observations<br />
about modern agriculture:<br />
Pesticides:<br />
<strong>The</strong> idea of using pesticides,<br />
which I think is the dumbest thing<br />
that we’ve ever invented. To think we<br />
can manage nature with pesticides? I<br />
just have to scratch my head.<br />
Biofuel:<br />
It’s absolutely crazy. We need<br />
to get more farmland, clear forests<br />
and clear land to get food to feed our<br />
cars? This is stupid. Absolutely stupid.<br />
My grandson is driving around in a<br />
bus run by vegetable oil…. I’m saying,<br />
what the hell is that?<br />
How we should grow food:<br />
We’ve got to get back to<br />
growing food the ways farmers<br />
did 60 years ago, where you used<br />
green manure and compost, and<br />
start using human feces the way the<br />
Chinese did 50 years ago. We’ve got<br />
to rediscover these things.<br />
Monoculture:<br />
<strong>The</strong> growing of large amounts of<br />
a single species … is very, very<br />
dangerous…. When you have certain<br />
strains of corn over vast acres, they<br />
become very vulnerable to a new<br />
parasite or a new disease. We know<br />
that diversity allows us to overcome<br />
these kinds of threats.<br />

BIOFUEL | PROMOTION<br />
Time to give biofuel benefits attention, says expert<br />
Aggressive promotion needed | Biofuel industry told to speak up and explain the environmental advantages over fossil fuels<br />
STORIES BY BARRY WILSON<br />
OTTAWA BUREAU<br />
<strong>The</strong> biofuel industry has to step up<br />
its game to convince Canadians that<br />
it is a vital part of the climate change<br />
solution, says a Vancouver environmental<br />
academic.<br />
“We need biofuels big time and it<br />
can’t be marginalized anymore,”<br />
Mark Jaccard, a resource and environmental<br />
management professor<br />
at Simon Fraser University, told the<br />
annual Canadian Renewable Fuels<br />
Association meeting Dec. 4 in<br />
Ottawa.<br />
©2012 Progressive Agriculture Foundation<br />
“We need to make biofuels happen<br />
really fast.”<br />
He said government support<br />
through mandatory requirements<br />
for biofuel content in fuel will continue<br />
to be necessary because fossil<br />
fuel, while more polluting, will<br />
always be cheaper.<br />
“Fossil fuels will beat biofuels every<br />
time,” he said in an interview after his<br />
speech.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re plentiful, they’re high<br />
density energy, they will kill off<br />
renewables if you let them compete<br />
fairly and they will kill off the planet.<br />
So there’s the tradeoff. Do you want<br />
to pay a little bit more for moving<br />
around in a vehicle and supporting<br />
agriculture or do you want to pay less<br />
and destroy the planet?”<br />
Some argue that oil reserves are<br />
declining and the “peak oil” tipping<br />
point of declining reserves has been<br />
passed or soon will be, but Jaccard<br />
said new oil reserves are becoming<br />
accessible and available resources<br />
will stretch for decades into the<br />
future.<br />
Jaccard said the federal government’s<br />
climate change policies are a<br />
disaster, promoting oilsands and<br />
conventional development that is<br />

<strong>The</strong> government has supported<br />
biofuel production with a mandate<br />
requiring use of renewable fuels in<br />
gasoline and diesel, but it still is a<br />
small part of Canada’s energy strategy.<br />
In Ottawa, the Conservatives have<br />
been targeting opposition New<br />
Democrats for proposing a carbon<br />
cap-and-trade system that government<br />
MPs say would be a $21 billion<br />
“tax on everything.”<br />
Jaccard noted that the Conservatives<br />
also promised a cap-and-trade<br />
carbon system in the 2006 election<br />
campaign.<br />
He told the convention that the only<br />
way to contain global warming is for<br />
governments to impose controls and<br />
costs on carbon emissions.<br />
Ottawa must become tougher in<br />
dealing with carbon-emitting industries<br />
such as the Alberta oilsands and<br />
pollution-emitting vehicles, he added.<br />
“We have to make carbon production<br />
costly or regulate it.”<br />
He said the biofuel industry must<br />
be part of the solution with more<br />
aggressive self-promotion.<br />
“Being nice has not worked,” he<br />
said. “It is time for you to speak up. Be<br />
vocal.”<br />
Jaccard said the official international<br />
position of holding average<br />
temperature increases to 2 C is<br />
already lost.<br />
<strong>The</strong> real temperature increase<br />
could be 4 to 6 C if governments do<br />
not get tougher about controlling<br />
emissions, he added.<br />
“That would be a disaster for the<br />
planet.”<br />
BIOFUEL | ECONOMICS<br />
Food versus fuel<br />
debate not an<br />
issue: consultant<br />
<strong>The</strong> food versus fuel debate around<br />
the biofuel industry is a bogus debate<br />
because of increased efficiency in<br />
livestock feeding, a Vancouver consultant<br />
told a renewable fuels meeting<br />
Dec. 5.<br />
Don O’Connor, president of S&T<br />
Squared Consulting, told the Canadian<br />
Renewable Fuels Association<br />
annual convention in Ottawa that<br />
millions of acres of land once required<br />
to produce coarse grains for<br />
feed are no longer needed because<br />
of increased livestock feeding efficiency.<br />
<strong>The</strong> demand for land to grow feed<br />
grain is 35 percent less than it was in<br />
the 1970s because of increased yields<br />
and better livestock feed use efficiency,<br />
he added.<br />
As well, biofuel production creates<br />
significant amounts of livestock feed<br />
byproduct, further reducing the need<br />
for coarse grain production.<br />
So land used to produce coarse<br />
grains for ethanol production does<br />
not displace land needed to produce<br />
food, said O’Connor.<br />
“I would argue that the food supply<br />
is more secure now than it was a<br />
decade ago.”<br />
His consulting company has a long<br />
association with the CRFA, and association<br />
chair Tim Haig referred to<br />
him as “the only speaker who is so<br />
much in demand that he’s invited<br />
back year after year.”<br />
O’Connor said the alternative to<br />
using the land for biofuel feedstock<br />
production is to produce more lowprice<br />
grain for export, which will<br />
compete with producers in developing<br />
countries.<br />
“If poverty is directly linked to GDP<br />
in developing countries, then I would<br />
argue that producing ethanol on that<br />
land and not producing grain to compete<br />
with local producers will<br />
decrease poverty in the developing<br />
world,” he said.

WORLD IN BRIEF<br />
COURTS<br />
Lawsuit on grain<br />
settlement proceeds<br />
SINGAPORE (Reuters) — <strong>The</strong><br />
CME Group, the biggest operator<br />
of U.S. futures exchanges, has no<br />
plans to shut open-outcry trading<br />
pits, but will not change new price<br />
settlement rules for grains despite a<br />
lawsuit by a group of traders.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>ir lawsuit has zero merit,”<br />
Phupinder Gill, chief executive officer<br />
of CME, said.<br />
Gill said the company expected<br />
the recent ruling by a Chicago judge<br />
allowing the grain traders to go<br />
ahead with a lawsuit to overturn the<br />
CME’s new end-of-day settlement<br />
rules that they say are killing business<br />
in the trading pits. <strong>The</strong> CME<br />
has no plans to withdraw the new<br />
settlement rules that include transactions<br />
done electronically, where<br />
the bulk of the volume comes from.<br />
Prior to the change, CME had a<br />
century-old tradition of settling<br />
futures prices for crops like corn<br />
and soybeans based on transactions<br />
executed in the pits.<br />
Gill said there are no plans to<br />
close floor trading as long as liquidity<br />
exists.<br />
LAND VALUES<br />
Brazil land values soar<br />
SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) —<br />
Prices for farmland in Brazil surged<br />
by an average 14 percent a year to<br />
nearly quadruple during the past<br />
decade, well outpacing inflation and<br />
nearly matching gains made by Sao<br />
Paulo’s blue-chip stock index, a new<br />
study shows.<br />
Improving diets in economies<br />
such as China have driven up prices<br />
of commodities like soybeans, corn<br />
and animal proteins, which in turn<br />
have led investment and pension<br />
funds to buy Brazilian farmland.<br />
This has steadily pushed up the<br />
prices of and investment returns<br />
from Brazil’s productive tropical<br />
farmland, according to research<br />
from Sao Paulo-based consultancy<br />
Informa Economics FNP.<br />
Between January 2002 and<br />
December 2011, farmland appreciated<br />
278 percent on average in<br />
Brazil, while cumulative inflation in<br />
that period was about 88 percent.<br />
High grain prices have induced<br />
farmers and investors to expand<br />
into frontier areas where land is<br />
cheaper due to the lack of transport<br />
infrastructure.<br />
FARMLAND INVESTMENT<br />
Stopping expropriation<br />
BEIJING, China (Reuters) —<br />
China’s cabinet has vowed to<br />
tighten laws on the expropriation<br />
of farmland, warning that the problem<br />
risked fuelling rural unrest and<br />
undermining the country’s food<br />
security.<br />
“Rural land has been expropriated<br />
too much and too fast as industrialization<br />
and urbanization accelerate,”<br />
state news agency Xinhua<br />
reported, summing up a meeting of<br />
the state council.<br />
More reforms need to be put in<br />
place and a better legal system set<br />
up to resolve the problems, including<br />
stricter regulations on farmland<br />
expropriation, Xinhua said.<br />
While the comments on land<br />
seizures do not break new policy<br />
ground, they do underscore government<br />
jitters about rural discontent<br />
as president Hu Jintao prepares to<br />
hand over the running of the country<br />
to his successor, vice-president<br />
Xi Jinping.<br />
Farmers in China do not own most<br />
of their fields. Instead, most rural<br />
land is owned by villages, and farmers<br />
get leases that last for decades.<br />
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS<br />
Iran faces food crisis<br />
LONDON/DUBAI (Reuters) —<br />
Iran’s food distribution system<br />
is in crisis even though western<br />
sanctions do not directly target the<br />
market, badly hurting the poor and<br />
turning some staples into luxuries.<br />
Private importers are shrinking<br />
away from deals made risky by<br />
turmoil in the rial currency, and<br />
many foreign banks are reluctant to<br />
finance even items that are exempt<br />
from the sanctions for fear of drawing<br />
fire for doing business with Iran.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result is that the Iranian state<br />
is under growing pressure to import<br />
and allocate more goods as it tries to<br />
avoid social unrest due to shortages<br />
and soaring prices.<br />
WHEAT MARKETS<br />
<strong>Western</strong> wheat in demand<br />
HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) —<br />
Wheat exports from western nations<br />
should be boosted as supplies from<br />
Russia and the Black Sea region run<br />
out, traders say.<br />
Canadian, American, European<br />
and Australian wheat is expected<br />
to compete for key Middle Eastern<br />
markets, while niche producers<br />
Romania and Bulgaria are also likely<br />
to soon sell their remaining supplies.<br />
“We are likely to see the last gasp<br />
of sales from Russia and Ukraine in<br />
the next few weeks and then more<br />
demand will be switched to the West<br />
EU, especially France, and the United<br />
States,” a European trader said.<br />
Wheat export powerhouses Russia<br />
and Ukraine both suffered enormous<br />
crop damage this summer.<br />
Russia may import grains, while<br />
Ukraine has voluntary export limits.<br />
Argentina, meanwhile, has harvest<br />
problems related to flooding.<br />
FARMING THE SEA<br />
Oyster farm sues<br />

land.<br />

interior secretary Ken Salazar, saying<br />
he based his decision to close<br />
the operation on a faulty environmental<br />
impact statement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> oyster farm and surrounding<br />
ranches were sold to the federal<br />
government 40 years ago in<br />
exchange for long-term leases.<br />
Salazar said he would renew leases<br />
to cattle ranchers at Point Reyes<br />
National Seashore, but not the oyster<br />
farm.<br />
Salazar told Kevin Lunny and his<br />
family the oyster lease on property<br />
in the Point Reyes National Seashore<br />
would end on Nov. 30, and he<br />
gave the family and employees 90<br />
days to gather their belongings.
CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | INTERNATIONAL BUYERS<br />
NEWS<br />
BY MICHAEL RAINE<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13, 2012<br />
Foreign cattle producers look to Canada for genetics<br />
Erling Gresseth of Veistad Charolais in Hegra, Norway, bought 70 embryos and a two-thirds share of a bull for semen<br />
production during the <strong>Western</strong> Canadian Agribition in Regina. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO<br />
REGINA — Erling Gresseth makes<br />
the trip to Canadian <strong>Western</strong> Agribition<br />
in Regina because he can<br />
count on the show delivering profitable<br />
results for his purebred cattle<br />
business in Norway.<br />
Gresseth bought 70 Charolais embryos<br />
at this year’s show as well as an<br />
interest in semen rights from a bull<br />
owned by Bryan Hicks of Arthur, Ont.<br />
He will also be taking back 20 to 30<br />
embryos for producers in Sweden.<br />
“I need to be able to place a lot of<br />
trust in the people I buy from (when)<br />
overseas. My business depends on it,”<br />
<strong>The</strong> smile says everything.<br />
InVigor ® growers are just like any other grower. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
believe in community, they love their families, and they<br />
work hard to ensure there’s food on everyone’s table.<br />
<strong>The</strong> big difference is how InVigor growers feel about<br />
their crop. But since they have trouble putting it into<br />
words, you’ll have to take it at face value.<br />
Nothing outperforms InVigor.<br />
O-66-10/12-BCS12259-E<br />
37<br />
said the purebred breeder from<br />
Hegra, Norway.<br />
Gresseth has been buying Canadian<br />
Charolais genetics since 2007 but<br />
said he wouldn’t do it if he didn’t<br />
have a personal relationship with<br />
producers here.<br />
“I need to see the herd and get a<br />
sense of it, and know the people I am<br />
dealing with. I won’t make any profit<br />
on the genetics I buy here for four or<br />
five years. I put a lot of trust in these<br />
people and in their cattle.”<br />
Häkon Kvaeken of Löten, Norway,<br />
was also at the Regina show, one of<br />
700 to 800 foreign visitors from 60<br />
countries. He said the need for polled<br />
genetics is prompting buyers from<br />
Europe to look to Canada rather than<br />
to the home of the breed.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> French cattle don’t really have<br />
the polled (genes),” he said.<br />
“We can’t rely on it, and we don’t<br />
want to be dealing with horns.”<br />
Gresseth bought a purebred bull in<br />
the United States last year and found<br />
it was easier to bring the semen to<br />
Canada to fertilize eggs before shipping<br />
them to Norway.<br />
“I rely on the help of cattle marketing<br />
people like Helga and Candace<br />
(By) from Regina to make sure what I<br />
buy gets to Norway without any<br />
issues,” he said.<br />
“Canadian breeders are very experienced<br />
at exporting. It might be a<br />
bigger part of their business than in<br />
some other places in the world.”<br />
Gresseth said his customers are<br />
looking for polled genetics and<br />
smaller, thriftier animals that are<br />
feed efficient.<br />
“Our feed costs are way high, and the<br />
cattle need to be good in the trees, in<br />
rough country. We have a long days on<br />
grass in the summer. Winter can be<br />
very hard,” he said about his location,<br />
half way up the Norwegian coast.<br />
Kvaeken said many of the non-traditionally<br />
coloured cattle won’t make<br />
the breed standard in Europe, so dark<br />
Charolais or black Limousin found in<br />
North American herds aren’t on the<br />
Scandinavians’ order books.<br />
He also said many of the North<br />
American breeds have come to look<br />
alike. North American cattle have<br />
been bred to what appears to be a<br />
single standard, he said.<br />
“We like them, but they don’t have a<br />
lot of difference between them,<br />
except the colour.”<br />
Gresseth said the shorter stature<br />
and more muscular hip in the Canadian<br />
continental breeds meet his<br />
customers’ breeding needs. However,<br />
he has tended toward a more traditional<br />
Charolais shaped animal for<br />
his Canadian imports.<br />
“(Hicks) kept the deep body, with<br />
the larger muscle that buyers look for.<br />
That is traditional Charolais,” he said.<br />
Hicks said he is proud that his<br />
Charolais genetics are being used in<br />
Europe.<br />
“It would be easier for them to get<br />
(traditional) French animals, but<br />
many European buyers want what<br />
we have to offer instead,” he said,<br />
during the Nov. 19-24 event.<br />
Gresseth said producers in northern<br />
Europe are doing well financially,<br />
despite small farm sizes.<br />
“Meat is very highly priced. <strong>The</strong><br />
(governmental support) system<br />
ensures they make a living and deliver<br />
food at a profit. So very good farmers<br />
do very well. And they invest in<br />
their herds’ (genetics),” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y buy Canada’s reputation, too.”

HOGS | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT<br />
Supply managed hog<br />
NEWS<br />
sector idea thrown out BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />
BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />
CAMROSE BUREAU<br />
LEDUC, Alta. — Alberta Pork members<br />
have rejected a resolution asking<br />
the organization to investigate<br />
the possibility of making pork a supply<br />
managed industry.<br />
Ciaran Ormond, who argued in<br />
favour of the resolution, said rising<br />
feed costs and roller-coaster prices<br />
have made hog production<br />
unsustainable, and producers and<br />
government need to take another<br />
look at supply management.<br />
“We need a new and fresh examination<br />
of supply management,”<br />
Ormond said.<br />
Pork producer Rocky Morrell<br />
agreed, saying producers couldn’t<br />
reject the idea of supply management<br />
with the survival of their industry<br />
at stake.<br />
“This is the only answer to give any<br />
credence to our survivability,” he<br />
said. “With supply management, we<br />
finally got consumers to help us out.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y pay for eggs, poultry and don’t<br />
even question it. At the end of the day<br />
the consumer, through the retailer,<br />
has to sustain the industry or make<br />
the decision we don’t want this<br />
industry,” he said.<br />
“Unless massive changes are<br />
made to the industry, it’s a race to<br />
the bottom.… We have got to try<br />
something like this. I don’t see anything<br />
else.”<br />
However, producer Ben Wooley<br />
said supply management would<br />
result in tariffs on exported pork and<br />
put half the producers in the room<br />
out of business.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> whole idea of building pig<br />
farms on the Prairies and valueadded<br />
agriculture is all because of<br />
the amount of grain we produce. <strong>The</strong><br />
premise is still right. We need to be<br />
adding value to what we feed.”<br />
Jurgen Preugschas said exploring<br />
supply management won’t solve<br />
COURT CASE | VITERRA<br />
Charges heard<br />
over fatality at<br />
Viterra terminal<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
Viterra representatives were in a<br />
Saskatoon court Dec. 5 on charges<br />
stemming from a fatality at its terminal<br />
near Rosetown, Sask.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company faces six charges<br />
under the Canada Labour Code in<br />
connection to death of Paul Cruse<br />
Sep. 8, 2011.<br />
<strong>The</strong> charges allege Viterra failed to<br />
properly train Cruse in how to unplug<br />
the elevator’s receiving pit or inform<br />
him of workplace hazards such as the<br />
dangers posed by flowing grain.<br />
A federal prosecutor is overseeing<br />
the charges, which were laid last<br />
August, because grain elevators are<br />
administered by federal legislation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> crown said Dec. 5 that it was<br />
proceeding by indictment, which is<br />
more serious than a summary conviction<br />
offence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> maximum fine for each charge<br />
is $1 million.<br />
producers’ problems and would be a<br />
waste of money.<br />
Morrell said supply management<br />
should be given a chance. Consumers<br />
buy fair trade coffee to help beleaguered<br />
coffee producers and likely<br />
would buy pork from Canadian<br />
farmers if they knew the seriousness<br />
of the situation.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se farms are going down,” he<br />
said.<br />
“You wouldn’t believe how many<br />
insolvent farms are out there. <strong>The</strong><br />
family farms are really in trouble.<br />
Most of them need a hug and say it’s<br />
over.”<br />

CALGARY BUREAU<br />
BANFF, Alta. — More than $3 billion<br />
in federal money will be available<br />
this spring to support agriculture<br />
projects over the next five years.<br />
Some of that money is coming<br />
through three Growing Forward 2<br />
programs and will be available April 1,<br />
2013, said agriculture minister Gerry<br />
Ritz at the Alberta Barley Commission<br />
annual meeting in Banff on<br />
Dec. 7.<br />
“That investment represents an<br />
increase of 50 percent in our joint<br />
investments with the provinces and<br />
territories from the last Growing Forward<br />
suite,” he said.<br />
Money will pay for research and<br />
marketing and encourages industry<br />
and scientists from universities as<br />
well as government to collaborate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grain and livestock sectors are<br />
encouraged to identify work they<br />
want to see completed to make them<br />
more sustainable or competitive<br />
with new or traditional products.<br />
“For years we have had a tremendous<br />
amount of research going on<br />
but it didn’t necessarily give industry<br />
what they thought they needed,” Ritz<br />
told reporters.<br />

OATS | PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN<br />
Campaign sets out to rebuild oat acres, demand<br />
Targeting equine industry | <strong>The</strong> growers association may fund research project looking at nutritional benefits of oats<br />

Randy Strychar needed a gimmick<br />
to lure more young veterinarians to<br />
his booth to learn about the benefits<br />
of feeding oats to horses.<br />
It was summer and he was preparing<br />
to attend the trade show held<br />
during the influential American<br />

<strong>The</strong> association sponsors a U.S.<br />
television program hosted by Julie<br />
Goodnight, who Strychar describes<br />
as the Martha Stewart of the equine<br />
television market.<br />
Goodnight works for RFD-TV, a<br />
rural television network that bought<br />
Trigger’s stuffed hide at an auction in<br />
2010 for $266,500.<br />
“We had her approach RDF with<br />

Trigger in the booth and they threw<br />
Bullet (Rogers’ dog) in there,”<br />
RANDY STRYCHAR<br />
OAT INDUSTRY EXPERT<br />
Strychar said during a Dec. 6 presentation<br />
at POGA’s annual convention.<br />
Strychar, an oat industry guru and<br />
president of Ag Commodity Re-<br />
Excellent solution for control of kochia and<br />
other Group 2 resistant weeds<br />
search, said the booth attracted 500<br />
visitors, up from 150 the previous<br />
year.<br />
“It was the buzz of the convention,”<br />
he said.<br />
It’s an example of the kind of publicity<br />
the industry hopes to generate<br />
with its proposed three-year $3.7<br />
million promotional campaign<br />
aimed at rebuilding oat acres to their<br />
former glory by encouraging horse<br />
owners to demand the product.<br />
“This is the future of the oat market,”<br />
Strychar said.<br />
“I can’t see another conceivable<br />
project that has as much potential to<br />
- New Group 14 mode of action for weed resistance management<br />
- Early weed removal benefi ts of pre-emergent<br />
- Controls fl ushing weeds<br />
- Higher yield due to less competition<br />

North American oat acres and production<br />
have been in a steady nosedive<br />
for decades. <strong>The</strong> main culprit is<br />
the sharp drop in demand from the<br />
equine industry. Sales have fallen to<br />
300,000 tonnes a year from 1.1 million<br />
tonnes in the early 1990s.<br />
Strychar has spent the last two<br />
years investigating why demand has<br />
faltered so badly. <strong>The</strong> trend began in<br />
the drought years of 2001 and 2002<br />
when oat prices spiked relative to<br />
corn.<br />
However, there was more to it than<br />
high oat prices. Increased competition<br />
from wheat middlings and corn<br />
and the push toward pelleted and<br />
complete feed were big contributors.<br />
Feed manufacturers use the cheapest<br />
feed they can find to make the<br />
pellets, and 47 of the 50 U.S. states<br />
have no requirement to list the type<br />
of grain used.<br />
“(Horse owners) have no idea<br />
what’s in those bags,” said Strychar.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there were the studies published<br />
in the early 1990s saying old<br />
horses and those with metabolic<br />
issues shouldn’t eat starch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results began to be misinterpreted<br />
as those findings spread<br />
around the internet. People were<br />
spreading the word that starchy<br />
crops like corn, barley and oats were<br />
bad for all horses.<br />
Defend industry<br />
Another factor was the lack of<br />
somebody championing oats in the<br />
equine industry.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was nobody standing up<br />
saying, ‘whoa, what’s the problem?<br />
What’s going on here? Why are we<br />
losing demand?’ ” said Strychar.<br />
POGA has become that missing<br />
voice. It intends to convince horse<br />
owners and “expert influencers”<br />
such as veterinarians, farriers, feed<br />
manufacturers, nutritionists, grain<br />
companies and millers that horses<br />
need to eat more oats.<br />
Research will be a key component<br />
of the marketing blitz. POGA is considering<br />
funding seven nutritional<br />
research projects. One promising<br />
proposal will explore whether oats<br />
can reduce the incidence of colic, the<br />
leading cause of premature death in<br />
horses.<br />
Annual oat exports would increase<br />
by 186,256 tonnes if the promotion<br />
campaign resulted in half of the U.S.<br />
horse herd eating an extra 0.11 kilograms<br />
of oats a day.<br />
As well, oats would suddenly<br />
become Canada’s third largest crop<br />
export behind wheat and canola if<br />
something like the promising colic<br />
research bumped daily oat consumption<br />
up by an extra kilogram per<br />
day.<br />
“We have the potential for a huge,<br />
huge growth for the oat market moving<br />
forward,” said Strychar.<br />
POGA has committed $750,000 to<br />
the Equine Feed Oat Project, about<br />
$500,000 of which has already been<br />
spent in advance of the promotion<br />
campaign.<br />
<strong>The</strong> association hopes industry<br />
and governments will provide the<br />
bulk of the $3.7 million that has been<br />
budgeted for the project starting in<br />
2013. Strychar said industry participation<br />
has been slower than what<br />
was hoped.

Millers are increasingly relying on<br />
Canadian wheat and oats as corn and<br />
soybeans devour acres across the<br />
United States.<br />
Traditional cereal growing states<br />
such as Kansas, the Dakotas and<br />
Minnesota are succumbing to the<br />
corn and soybean tide.<br />
“All of the wheat and oats is being<br />
pushed in a northwesterly vector up<br />
into Canada, and I expect that’s not<br />
only going to continue but probably<br />
accelerate,” Jim Bair, vice-president of<br />
the North American Millers’ Association,<br />
told the Prairie Oat Growers Association<br />
(POGA) convention Dec. 6.<br />
New drought tolerant corn hybrids<br />
performed well in Nebraska and the<br />
Dakotas last year, leading Bair to<br />
believe more wheat and oat acres will<br />
soon be lost in the U.S. to more profitable<br />
crops.<br />
His presentation included a chart<br />
showing that U.S. oat production has<br />
fallen below a million tonnes, down<br />
from 16.7 million tonnes in 1960.<br />
“Virtually every year for the last 30<br />
years, with a couple of exceptions,<br />
we’ve set a new record low in oat production<br />
in the United States,” he said.<br />
Almost all of what is produced in<br />
the U.S. goes into feed markets.<br />
“I’m trying to underscore the importance<br />
of you folks to the U.S. and Cana-<br />
dian milling industries,” said Bair.<br />
In an interview following his presentation,<br />
Bair said Canadian producers<br />
must take up the slack in U.S.<br />
production because food companies<br />
want more oats. Consumption has<br />
been increasing by about five percent<br />
a year.<br />
“Demand is very strong,” he said.<br />
“People are starting to recognize the<br />
heart healthy benefit of oats. It was the<br />
first food in the U.S. that was allowed<br />
to make a heart healthy claim.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> crop is particularly appealing<br />
these days because the shaky economy<br />
is prompting many U.S. families<br />
to try reducing their grocery bills.<br />

“Not only is it heart healthy, but it’s<br />
an inexpensive food,” said Bair.<br />
Private commercial oat breeding programs<br />
are nonexistent in the U.S, which<br />
is why NAMA contributed $510,000 to<br />
the North American Collaborative Oat<br />
Research Enterprise. <strong>The</strong> genetic mapping<br />
research initiative is aimed at identifying<br />
beneficial traits that can be bred<br />
into new oat lines.<br />
“We’re looking at all kinds of things<br />
from increased yields to rust resistance<br />
to looking at the heart healthy<br />
components,” said Bair.<br />
He said the project has been successful<br />
and should put plenty of new<br />
beneficial oat lines in the hands of<br />
producers over the next 10 years.<br />
“That’s going to be super important<br />
to keep oats as a competitive crop,” he<br />
said.<br />
Millers are nervous that the corn<br />
and soybean acreage blitzkrieg taking<br />
place in the U.S. will spill across<br />
the border into Canada. It’s already<br />
happening in Manitoba, where oats<br />
are losing ground to the big two.<br />
“We’re looking at that picture and<br />
saying, ‘look, we better get out in front<br />
of this train and compete and develop<br />
some oat varieties that will make reasonable<br />
crop options for farmers and<br />
at least be in the game,’ ” said Bair.<br />
<strong>The</strong> goal is to develop lines that will<br />
deliver increased profitability for<br />
producers and improved health<br />
attributes for the milling industry.<br />

Wild Boar<br />
Unseen Menace<br />
“Many people in the province simply don’t believe we have a problem<br />
with feral wild boars,” says Ryan Brook, an assistant professor in the<br />
Department of Animal and Poultry Science.<br />
“You often hear people say they would never be able to survive<br />
Saskatchewan winters in the wild. But they are doing very, very well in this<br />
province.”<br />
In this case, ‘very well’ is very bad. Just ask a farmer or naturalist in<br />
Texas, home to about half of the four million feral wild boars in the U.S.<br />
“Feral wild boars are a massive problem in Texas, California, and many<br />
other states,” says Brook. “In Texas alone, the damage to agricultural<br />
crops is $50 million a year. That doesn’t count the $7 million they spend<br />
trying to control their numbers or the ecological damage. <strong>The</strong>y’re a<br />
rooting animal, and people say when they get into wetlands, it looks as if<br />
a giant rototiller has gone through the landscape.”<br />
Wild boars, native to Europe and much of Asia, were introduced to<br />
North America by Spanish explorers in the 17th century. <strong>The</strong>y came north<br />
in the 1970s and 1980s when the fi rst commercial domesticated wild<br />
boar farms were set up. Escapees had no problem adapting to their new<br />
northern home.<br />
“In the last fi ve years, there have been sightings across the province<br />
from Prince Albert and the tree line in the north all the way to the U.S.<br />
border. But we don’t really have a handle on how many there are.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a good reason for that. Despite their size and the damage they<br />
can cause – one farmer next to Moose Mountain park lost 15 acres of<br />
oats to wild boars in just two days – these highly intelligent animals are<br />
amazing elusive. <strong>The</strong>y are most active in the evening and early morning,<br />
and use their keen sense of smell to both search for food and avoid any<br />
humans.<br />
Brook has obtained some funding from the Cyril Capling Trust Fund,<br />
NSERC, and the University of Saskatchewan for a limited investigation to<br />
see how many wild boars are in Saskatchewan. Cameras were set up in 17<br />
locations around the province this spring, and while the research provides<br />
insights in boar populations and behaviour at these sites, it truly is just a<br />
snapshot of what’s going on.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> key thing is getting the right people at the table and launching<br />
a coordinated effort between many groups,” he says. “You also need<br />
the will to do something. When you’re dealing with an animal that<br />
reproduces at this rate, a go-slow approach is not going to have any<br />
benefi t.”<br />
“When you look at the crop losses, disease potential, the environmental<br />
damage, and the rest, this critter could conceivably become the biggest<br />
species of concern in our province.”<br />

MANITOBA BEEF PRODUCERS | CHECKOFF<br />
Minister asserts levy support<br />
Marked for slaughter plant | <strong>The</strong> facility would specialize in halal and kosher beef<br />
BY ROBERT ARNASON<br />
BRANDON BUREAU<br />
Manitoba Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s passed a<br />
resolution last year to end the checkoff<br />
to enhance beef processing in the<br />
province, but Manitoba’s agriculture<br />
minister believes most producers<br />
still support the levy.<br />
Cattle producers have paid a $2<br />
checkoff on every animal sold since<br />
2006 to support the Manitoba Cattle<br />
Enhancement Council (MCEC),<br />
which is mandated to expand<br />
slaughter capacity in the province.<br />
Kostyshyn said only a minority of<br />
producers request refunds of the<br />
voluntary checkoff, which demonstrates<br />
that farmers support MCEC.<br />
“I think the last statistics we’ve had,<br />
the check-off dollars are still being<br />
retained,” he said at the Ranchers’<br />
Forum in Brandon in late November.<br />
“I think the percentage, last we<br />
heard, was around 68 to 70 percent<br />
was still being left in the account.”<br />
MCEC, which is also funded by a<br />
matching $2 levy from provincial<br />
taxpayers, is planning to build a 250<br />
head per day slaughter plant in Winnipeg,<br />
which will specialize in halal<br />
and kosher beef.<br />
Vibrant roots<br />
fuel better performance.<br />
MCEC leaders have suggested over<br />
the past 18 months that ground will<br />
be broken for the $40 million plant,<br />
called ProNatur, in the near future.<br />
MBP passed a resolution at its 2011<br />
annual meeting to lobby the government<br />
to end the checkoff. Some of its<br />
members have lost faith in MCEC<br />
and don’t believe the council will<br />
ever construct a plant in Winnipeg.<br />
Kostyshyn said MBP leaders<br />
haven’t raised the issue with him.<br />
“I haven’t had any discussions with<br />
them personally, and I guess that will<br />
be a choice of theirs, when they want<br />
to give a call to me.”<br />

Prices were down slightly at the<br />
Saskatchewan Sheep Breeders Association<br />
sale held during Canadian<br />
<strong>Western</strong> Agribition.<br />
SSBA president Colleen Sawyer<br />
said the lower prices reflected the<br />
current market.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> price of market lambs is down<br />
right now and has been dropping the<br />
last year or so,” she said.<br />
“It seems to be affecting the female<br />
breeding stock more than the rams.”<br />
Seventy-two lots in the sale grossed<br />
$32,655 for an average $453.54.<br />
<strong>The</strong> high seller was a purebred<br />
yearling ram, Flynn 62Y, from Rock-<br />
ing S Ranch at Nokomis, Sask., which<br />
sold for $800 to Morinville Colony in<br />
Alberta.<br />
Sawyer said a flood of cheaper<br />
American sheep into Canadian<br />
plants earlier in the year caused the<br />
lower prices.<br />
“I don’t believe it’s going to stay<br />
down, but at this point it’s not rising<br />
as we get into the winter months like<br />
it usually does,” she said during<br />
Agribition, held Nov. 19-24 in Regina.<br />
Feedlot demand for sheep could<br />
affect where prices end up over the<br />

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | CATTLE<br />
BY MICHAEL RAINE<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
REGINA — Ray Kneeland’s chosen<br />
profession was actually his second<br />
choice.<br />
“I wanted to be a cowboy. Growing<br />
up in rural Alberta in the ’50s, it<br />
wasn’t all that unusual. But I got married<br />
and I figured out that I needed to<br />
make a living, too. So I got into trimming<br />
hoofs.”<br />
Kneeland started trimming cattle<br />
hoofs in 1969 and is now past his 70th<br />
birthday, but remains active in his<br />
work.<br />
More than 50 purebred cattle producers<br />
had Kneeland trimming their<br />
bull’s hoofs at Canadian <strong>Western</strong><br />
Agribition held in Regina Nov. 19-24.<br />
“I’m not sure it pays for me to do it at<br />
the show, but I know so many folks<br />
here,” he said.<br />
“This is my community and they<br />
count on me being here. I count on<br />
them. <strong>The</strong>y’re why I come.”<br />
Kneeland grew up near Stettler,<br />
Alta., where his parents had cattle,<br />
and wanted to be involved in the beef<br />
industry from the time he was young.<br />
He worked for ranchers in the cattle<br />
country of the Big Muddy near<br />
Bengough, Sask., for five summers<br />
and spent his winters in the north<br />
working on seismic crews.<br />
“I was going to settle down and<br />
become a welder. After six weeks on<br />
the job, after trade school, I knew I<br />
wasn’t going to be a welder,” he said.<br />
Kneeland started out in 1969 with<br />
a standard capacity tipping table,<br />
but he soon began to build sturdier<br />
models when producers began<br />
importing large continental cattle in<br />
the early 1970s.<br />
“When you’re doing 6,000 or 7,000<br />
cattle a year, you can’t be messing<br />
around with machines that might<br />
break or let you down,” he said.<br />
After a couple of attempts, the third<br />

model proved lucky.<br />
“So in ’72 I quick-like built a third<br />
one, heavier yet and taller, so I<br />
wouldn’t be bending all the time and<br />
hurting my back.”<br />
He still uses that table today.<br />
Kneeland bought a place near Martensville,<br />
north of Saskatoon, in the<br />
1980s. He found he could make a<br />
“pretty good living being a cowboy,”<br />
working with dairy cattle and travelling<br />
throughout Saskatchewan trimming<br />
purebred beef animals.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> dairy cattle used to get outside<br />
more than they do now and so you<br />
didn’t see too many lame animals,”<br />

LAND USE | ALBERTA MEETINGS<br />
Alta. beef producers fear impact of land use plan<br />
Grazing assurances | <strong>The</strong> Alberta Land Stewardship Commission says the plan will protect native grasslands and preserve grazing areas<br />
BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />
CALGARY BUREAU<br />
Alberta Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s say it supports<br />
a proposed land use plan for<br />
the South Saskatchewan region, but<br />
wants more public consultation and<br />
assurances that grazing leases are<br />
honoured.<br />
Public meetings are underway to<br />
review and comment on a land use<br />
plan for Alberta’s South Saskatchewan<br />
river basin region in southern<br />
Alberta. Deadline for public submissions<br />
is Dec. 21.<br />
<strong>The</strong> priority is to protect air, surface<br />
and ground water as well as biodiversity<br />
in the arid southern part of the<br />
province.<br />
“Agriculture has to be represented<br />
when we talk about water in the<br />
South Saskatchewan,” said Glen<br />
Tjostheim of the Alberta Land Stewardship<br />
Commission.<br />
He spoke at ABP’s Dec. 3-5 annual<br />
meeting in Calgary and assured producers<br />
that grazing would still be<br />
allowed.<br />
However, ABP wants further talks<br />
on how the government envisions<br />
conservation management areas,<br />
parks and protected areas, as well as<br />
the amount of land that will be<br />
required. <strong>The</strong> organization said the<br />
government must also address how<br />
producers holding grazing agreements<br />
in potential recreation areas<br />
will be affected.<br />
“It depends on the nature of the<br />
particular area, but for the most part<br />
we are looking at preserving what<br />
exists today, so if you are in there grazing,<br />
we would expect tourism and<br />
recreational opportunities would<br />
make it workable,” Tjostheim said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> draft plan promises to protect<br />
native grasslands and find extra agricultural<br />
land, but producers asked<br />
how that might work.<br />
“We are trying to take a look at how<br />
we use the agriculture land,” Tjostheim<br />
said. “It is more about the productivity,<br />
and we are looking at lands<br />
under pressure in the urban areas.”<br />
Rick Friesen of Vauxhall was skeptical.<br />
“Everything looks good on paper,<br />
but in reality it sometimes doesn’t<br />
work,” he said.<br />
A plan for the Lower Athabasca<br />
region in northeastern Alberta went<br />
into effect Sept. 1, but local producers<br />
complained it ignored agriculture<br />
and watershed groups.<br />
“We know that there are certain<br />
aspects where we probably would do<br />
things differently,” said Tjostheim.<br />
Other producers said a seasonal<br />
study that looked at the landscape<br />
over several years should have been<br />
done before the planning meetings<br />
to better understand how an area<br />
changes.<br />
“Unless you have that baseline or<br />
profile, the changes that you assume<br />
are taking place are a matter of opinion<br />
rather than a matter of fact,” said<br />
Larry Delver of Calgary.<br />

FRUIT | BRITISH COLUMBIA CRANBERRIES<br />
B.C. cranberry growers reap big berries, top yields<br />
BY ROBIN BOOKER<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
British Columbia’s cranberry crop<br />
is a whopper this year.<br />
Mike Wallace, executive director of<br />
the B.C. Cranberry Growers Association,<br />
said the 91 million pound harvest<br />
is the biggest production year to<br />
date, largely because of a favourable<br />
growing year and an increase in<br />
acres.<br />
Sixty million lb. of cranberries were<br />
produced last year.<br />
A wet spring caused early concerns<br />
about pollination issues, but the worries<br />
eased as an extended fall allowed<br />
berries to reach maturity.<br />
“Overall, everyone is pretty happy,”<br />
Wallace said. “Quality is fine and<br />
there are good-sized berries, largely<br />
because of the hot weather at the end<br />
of summer. <strong>The</strong>re wasn’t much rain,<br />
but cranberry growers are set up to<br />
irrigate.”<br />
Quebec, the country’s largest cranberry<br />
producer, also had a strong<br />
harvest: slightly more than 185 million<br />
lb. compared to the average 165<br />
million lb.<br />
Wallace said it is difficult to predict<br />
prices in B.C. because Ocean<br />
Spray, a co-operative that accounts<br />
for up to 95 percent of the region’s<br />
market, has a complex pricing<br />
scheme.<br />
“How they pay out depends on how<br />
long you’ve been with the company,<br />
what kind of equity you have with<br />
them, what kind of shares you hold,<br />
and which pool you’re in,” Wallace<br />
said.<br />
“So when it comes to price, I can’t<br />
really tell you.”<br />
Ocean Spray, the world’s largest<br />
cranberry processor, recently<br />
opened a $26 million receiving station<br />
in Richmond, B.C.<br />
It is capable of processing 1.4 million<br />
kilograms of cranberries per day.<br />
Five to eight percent of cranberry<br />
producers in Quebec are Ocean<br />
Spray members.<br />
North America is the world’s primary<br />
cranberry production area, and<br />
Wallace said B.C. accounts for 12 to<br />
15 percent of total production.<br />

MANITOBA DAIRY CONFERENCE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT<br />
New Zealand is enemy No. 1: historian<br />
Dairy’s biggest enemy | New Zealand campaigns against Canada’s supply management system<br />
BY ED WHITE<br />
WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
Supply management is an<br />
“incredible” system in almost every<br />
way, but it is threatened by forces<br />
like New Zealand, historian Bruce<br />
Muirhead told an appreciative<br />
crowd at the Manitoba Dairy Conference.<br />
Muirhead, a University of Waterloo<br />
professor, condemned the<br />
modern world’s embrace of neoliberalism<br />
and painted a picture of<br />
hypocritical foreign countries subsidizing<br />
their own dairy industries<br />
while claiming to want free trade.<br />
“Why is it they’re so opposed to<br />
what we are doing,” said Muirhead,<br />
who noted agricultural production<br />
is only a small part of most countries’<br />
economies and a tiny part of<br />
economies in advanced countries.<br />
“Ideology comes down, I think, to<br />
a good part of the reason as to why<br />
the OECD (Organization for Economic<br />
Co-operation and Development)<br />
and the WTO (World Trade<br />
Organization) and certain other<br />
governments are opposed to Canada’s<br />
supply management system,”<br />
he said.<br />
Muirhead said supply management<br />
was a product of an age in<br />
which government-based economic<br />
arrangements were seen as<br />
part of the solution to problems,<br />
while now many societies see government<br />
as more of a problem.<br />
Supply management is under<br />
Bruce Muirhead of the University of Waterloo denounced New Zealand<br />
as the Canadian dairy industry’s “enemy” during the Manitoba Dairy<br />
Conference. | ED WHITE PHOTO<br />
intense scrutiny around the world,<br />
especially because Canada is trying<br />
to negotiate a trade deal with the<br />
European Union and has begun its<br />
negotiations for the Trans Pacific<br />
Partnership.<br />
Muirhead said Europe has<br />
shown signs of allowing Canadian<br />
supply management to survive as<br />
long as Canada ditches its<br />
favourable arrangements for<br />
generic drug makers.<br />
However he doubts the TPP, driven<br />
by free trade advocate New Zealand,<br />
will be as willing to compromise.<br />
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13, 2012<br />
“Most people probably think of<br />
New Zealand as a nice little country<br />
where they filmed Lord of the Rings<br />
and they have hobbits, but actually<br />
New Zealand is our number one<br />
enemy when it comes to dairy,” he<br />
said.<br />
Muirhead painted a menacing<br />
portrait of New Zealand’s Fonterra,<br />
although he paid tribute to the giant<br />
dairy co-operative’s significant<br />
profitability. It not only dominates<br />
its nation’s production but also has<br />
operations in South America, Africa<br />
and Asia.<br />
Muirhead said the company<br />
wants access to Canadian markets<br />
and maybe even production, so it<br />
sees supply management as a primary<br />
obstacle. <strong>The</strong> New Zealand<br />
government’s campaign against<br />
Canadian supply management is<br />
chiefly driven by Fonterra, Muirhead<br />
said.<br />
“Whatever it is that Fonterra<br />
wants, the New Zealand government<br />
sets out to achieve for it,” said<br />
Muirhead.<br />
He said Canada’s supply management<br />
system makes sense but is<br />
under tremendous pressure<br />
because of aggressive trade competitors<br />
such as Australia, the United<br />
States and Europe and because it<br />
is out of kilter with the prevailing<br />
world economic ethos.<br />
However, he said Canadians<br />
should fight for it.<br />
“It’s really quite an incredible system<br />
we have here.”<br />

delays in shipping goods in and out<br />
of the major commodities exporter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plan to modernize port infrastructure<br />
announced by president<br />
Dilma Rousseff seeks to increase<br />
investment in Brazil’s ports through<br />
partnership with private companies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bidding process that will open<br />
next year will favour tenders that<br />
offer the lowest tariffs for handling<br />
the greatest volume of cargo, moving<br />
away from a prior model of<br />
granting concessions to the highest<br />
bidder.<br />
“Our objective is the greatest movement<br />
of cargo possible at the lowest<br />
possible cost,” Rousseff said.<br />
“We want to increase the efficiency<br />
of Brazilian ports with this partnership,<br />
which will make our exports<br />
more competitive and increase<br />
production,” she said. “We want an<br />
explosion of investment through<br />
this partnership with the private<br />
sector.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> bulk of the investment would<br />
be made between 2014 and 2017,<br />
ports minister Leonidas Cristino<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ports slated for modernization<br />
include Santos, which is Latin<br />
America’s largest port by value of<br />
goods moved, Rio de Janeiro, Paranagua,<br />
Porto Alegre, Espiritu Santo,<br />
Itaqui, Pecem and Suape.<br />
WORLD FOOD PRICES<br />
Farm investments must<br />
rise to beat hunger: UN<br />
ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Investment<br />
in agriculture must increase<br />
substantially to reduce hunger in a<br />
world struggling with high and volatile<br />
food prices, the United Nations<br />
food agency said.<br />
About 870 million people, or one<br />
in eight of the world’s population<br />
are chronically undernourished,<br />
the UN said this year. Eradicating<br />
extreme hunger is among the UN<br />
Millennium Development Goals to<br />
tackle global poverty.<br />
Governments can spur farmer<br />
investments by ensuring property<br />
rights are respected, improving<br />
rural infrastructure and encouraging<br />
the formation of producer cooperatives,<br />
the Rome-based Food<br />
and Agriculture Organization said.<br />
“Farmers must be central to any<br />
strategy for increasing investment<br />
in the sector,” FAO said, adding<br />
on-farm investment, or spending by<br />
farmers, is more than three times as<br />
large as all other sources of investment<br />
combined, including foreign<br />
and government contributions.<br />
In <strong>The</strong> State of Food and Agriculture<br />
2012 report, FAO warned levels<br />
of private and public investment per<br />
worker in agriculture are stagnant<br />
or falling in regions where rural poverty<br />
and hunger are most severe.<br />
Poor governance, high levels of<br />
corruption and high taxation of agriculture<br />
are among the many hurdles<br />
that reduce incentives for farmers to<br />
invest in the sector.<br />
FAO also said that large scale<br />
investments offer opportunities for<br />
employment and technology transfer<br />
but governments and companies<br />
must ensure local people benefit<br />
and that land transfers are conducted<br />
in a transparent and fair way.

Six federal irrigation projects in Saskatchewan will be decommissioned if users are not interested in taking over operations. | FILE PHOTO<br />
FLOOD IRRIGATION PROJECTS | PRODUCER TAKEOVERS<br />
Irrigation project proposal in limbo<br />
No word from Ottawa | Farmers have not received answers to questions on finances or operations<br />
STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE<br />
REGINA BUREAU<br />
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Southwestern<br />
Saskatchewan farmers who will<br />
take over federal irrigation works by<br />
2017 hope to know in January if their<br />
financial terms have been accepted.<br />
Darren Steinley, a member of the<br />
producer negotiation committee<br />
representing the six flood irrigation<br />
projects, said the producers submitted<br />
a proposal to Agriculture<br />
Canada in May but still haven’t heard<br />
back.<br />
He declined to say how much the<br />
producers want to help them maintain<br />
and operate the projects.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y indicated they were willing<br />
to invest to divest, which means they<br />
were willing to give the producers<br />
some money to carry on with the<br />
projects,” Steinley said of the federal<br />
government.<br />
Ottawa said in 2007 it wanted users<br />
to take over the projects. If not, they<br />
would be decommissioned. It also<br />
said it would eventually sell its 33<br />
dams and water control structures in<br />
the province.<br />

news service RealAgriculture to<br />
We’re pretty confident as<br />
producers that we can take the<br />
projects over and we can run<br />

effectively than governments in<br />

tion in the six projects. Steinley said<br />
the result is 60,000 tonnes of hay each<br />
year in the form of 100,000 round<br />
bales.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are two projects near Val<br />
Marie and one each at Consul, Eastend,<br />
Maple Creek and Rush Lake.<br />
In 2009, four groups were already<br />
doing some of the work involved in<br />
operating the projects. During the<br />
last two years, a consultant has<br />
helped them plan for the takeover.<br />
Steinley said that process was useful<br />
in terms of getting the users talking<br />
and planning, but “we didn’t get<br />
any real financial answers or any<br />
clear understanding of how to run<br />
develop 30, 10-minute videos to introduce<br />
new techniques. <strong>The</strong>y will feature<br />
interviews with researchers, veterinarians<br />
and other industry experts.<br />
Council head Reynold Bergen said<br />
on one of the videos that research<br />
affects producers’ everyday lives,<br />
whether it is studying the impacts of<br />
antimicrobial resistance or animal<br />
the project.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposal is based on the costs<br />
the users determined, he said.<br />
“We’re pretty confident as producers<br />
that we can take the projects over<br />
and we can run them, and we can<br />
probably run them more efficiently<br />
and effectively than governments in<br />
the past have run them,” he said.<br />
Steinley said there are still issues<br />
that need to be clarified.<br />
<strong>The</strong> projects are supposed to be<br />
turned over in good working condition,<br />
and an engineer has assessed<br />
them and rated them from one to<br />
four — one being in poor condition<br />
and four being in good condition.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> AESB (Agriculture Canada’s<br />
agri-environmental services branch)<br />
has promised us that when we take<br />
over the projects in 2017, all structures<br />
will be at a three and four,” he<br />
said.<br />
However, a weir at Maple Creek that<br />
was destroyed during recent flooding<br />
will not be replaced. Users might get<br />
works in good condition, he added,<br />
but they might not get everything<br />
they are expecting.<br />
As well, there are seepage issues<br />
with one of the projects on the lower<br />
Frenchman River, which could dam-<br />
productivity. Slow, incremental<br />
improvements in feed efficiency have<br />
made it possible to produce more<br />
pounds of beef per cow.<br />
Three decades ago, 10 pounds of<br />
feed were needed for one lb. of weight<br />
gain, but modern animals produce<br />
one lb. of gain for every six lb. of feed.<br />
Darren Bevans, manager of Deseret<br />
age soil and result in improper irrigation,<br />
and the Rush Lake group has an<br />
outstanding concern about drainage<br />
into Reed Lake, where a landowner<br />
doesn’t want water to accumulate.<br />
Reed Lake is the natural drainage<br />
collection point for the area, and<br />
water from irrigation also ends up in<br />
the basin.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> province says we can put our<br />
water there, but we’d be more comfortable<br />
with a licence that says we<br />
can do that,” Steinley said.<br />
Other concerns include working<br />
with rural municipalities and what<br />
happens to the water if users don’t<br />
take over and the irrigation works<br />
aren’t used.<br />
He said the 10-year negotiation and<br />
divestiture process is too long for<br />
producers who typically make quick<br />
decisions based on what’s best for<br />
their operations<br />
“It’s tough to plan crop rotations,<br />
hay rotations, what you’re going to<br />
buy for land, how many more cows<br />
you’re going to buy, different things<br />
like that when you’re trying to plan<br />
for 10 years down the road.”<br />
Ottawa previously tried to sell its<br />
Saskatchewan infrastructure in 1961,<br />
1967, 1986 and 1994.<br />
Ranches, said on the video that his<br />
operation has been able to take new<br />
ideas and technology and fine tune<br />
them.<br />
For example, studies on the benefits<br />
of swath grazing showed this technique<br />
was a profitable way to winter<br />
cows.<br />

Consultant looks at valueadded<br />
opportunities in<br />
Saskatchewan vegetable<br />
acre expansion<br />
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A study is<br />
underway to determine if Saskatche–<br />
wan is a good candidate for high volume<br />
vegetable production.<br />
<strong>The</strong> study, which is led by the Saskatchewan<br />
Irrigation Projects Association,<br />
will look at whether the<br />
province could supply more of its<br />
own produce and whether there is<br />
potential to supply others, said<br />
Judie Dyck, a Saskatoon-based<br />
consultant.<br />
She told the SIPA annual conference<br />
Dec. 4 that the study will determine<br />
how much land is available for<br />
vegetable production under irrigation,<br />
what type of crop rotation<br />
would be necessary and the role of<br />
Regina’s Global Transportation Hub<br />
(GTH) in transporting produce.<br />
Loblaw Co.’s western distribution<br />
centre, which ships produce throughout<br />
<strong>Western</strong> Canada, was the first<br />
tenant at the GTH.<br />
Dyck said Loblaw has indicated a<br />
willingness to work with local growers,<br />
and discussions have centred on<br />
prioritizing three to five crops.<br />
Saskatchewan irrigators already<br />
grow 8,500 acres of potatoes a year,<br />
half for the table market and half for<br />
seed.<br />
Pumpkins, green beans, beets,<br />
onions and corn are grown on another<br />
500 acres. As well, Hutterite colonies<br />
and market gardeners, mostly in<br />
the Lumsden-Craven area and near<br />
Saskatoon, sell from the farmgate.<br />
“We’re only producing 10 percent<br />
of what we consume, so we have an<br />
opportunity to provide at least what<br />
Saskatchewan needs,” Dyck told the<br />
conference.<br />
Statistics Canada has said fresh<br />
vegetable consumption is increasing<br />
to 165 pounds per person per year.<br />
Many people prefer to buy local but<br />
can’t if production isn’t sufficient.<br />
Dyck also said there are value added<br />
opportunities that the Prairies<br />
could capitalize on, such as canned<br />
borscht.<br />
“We have the land base and the<br />
water,” she said.<br />
“We need the skills, the people that<br />
want to get into the marketplace.”<br />

by December 2013.<br />

BAWLF, Alta. — <strong>The</strong> need to carry<br />
on the Norwegian tradition of baking<br />
lefse for Christmas brought families<br />
together for a lefse-making bee.<br />
Half a dozen families wiped the<br />
dust off their mother’s and grandmother’s<br />
lefse grills, floys and rolling<br />
pins to spend the day making lefse<br />
for the second annual lefse making<br />
party at the Bawlf Lutheran Church<br />
hall.<br />
Colleen Mosand said spending the<br />
day making lefse is always more fun<br />
when you turn the baking into a party.<br />
It’s also a way of ensuring younger<br />
people learn the skill of making the<br />
Norwegian flat bread.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rolling pins are covered in a<br />
knee-high sock to ensure the correct<br />
consistency for rolling.<br />
Several kinds of floy, or lefse sticks,<br />
were used for lifting the lefse off the<br />
grill.<br />
Each family brought 18 cups of<br />
potatoes to use for the lefse mixture,<br />
which at the end of the day would be<br />
used for their Christmas food.<br />

BEEF | SLAUGHTER<br />
BY ROBERT ARNASON<br />
BRANDON BUREAU<br />
Stephen Koontz has advice for anyone<br />
looking to build a beef slaughter<br />
plant in North America — don’t do it.<br />
“Year in and year out, if I can talk a<br />
producer group out of building a<br />
packing plant, I’ve had a good year,”<br />
said Koontz, an agricultural economics<br />
professor at Colorado State<br />
University.<br />
<strong>Producer</strong> groups or businesses<br />
thinking about building a plant usually<br />
understand that four companies,<br />
Cargill, National Beef, JBS and Tyson,<br />
dominate the beef packing industry<br />
in North America.<br />
Nonetheless, most new entrants<br />
don’t fully comprehend the big four’s<br />
cost advantage, Koontz said.<br />
When asked about the viability of a<br />
$40 million, 250 head per day halal<br />
and kosher slaughter plant that the<br />
Manitoba Cattle Enhancement<br />
Council is proposing for Winnipeg,<br />
Koontz said it’s crucial to understand<br />
the cost per kill of a new plant and<br />
how it correlates to the number of<br />
animals processed.<br />
In a 2007 paper in which he analyzed<br />
packer data, Koontz determined<br />
that the average cost of<br />
slaughter at the four major packers<br />
was $120 to $165 per head, or a mean<br />
of $140 per head. In comparison, the<br />
slaughter cost at smaller plants were<br />
$200 to $375 per head.<br />
Updating the figures to 2012,<br />
Koontz estimated it now costs the big<br />
four $160 to $175 per head.<br />
Assuming that costs have increased<br />
a similar amount for smaller packers,<br />
those plants would now spend $230<br />
to $440 per kill.<br />
As an example of scale in the industry,<br />
Cargill’s packing plant in Dodge<br />
City, Kansas, kills 6,000 animals per<br />
day, but Koontz said even beef plants of<br />
that size must operate at full capacity.<br />
“Packers do make money, but it’s<br />
an extremely low margin business….<br />
<strong>The</strong> critical thing with these plants is<br />
that they’ve got to run two shifts per<br />
day, five days a week and one shift on<br />
Saturday,” Koontz said.<br />
“If you’re looking at any small plant,<br />
they’re usually running one shift per<br />
day, sometimes four days a week.<br />
That just won’t cover the cost of your<br />
building and your people.”<br />
Koontz’s cost estimates are similar<br />
to numbers cited by Canadian Cattlemen’s<br />
Association president Martin<br />
Unrau during a speech in Brandon<br />
in late November.<br />
He said costs are around $165 per<br />
kill at certain JBS plants in the United<br />
States and closer to $400 per kill at<br />
smaller plants.<br />
A CCA spokesperson said in an<br />
email that Unrau’s figures are two<br />
years out of date and can’t be applied<br />
to a proposed slaughter plant such as<br />
the ProNatur project in Winnipeg.<br />
ProNatur spokesperson Adam<br />
Dooley said it’s difficult to compare<br />
this type of project to large commodity<br />
players in the beef industry,<br />
because the Winnipeg plant will target<br />
niche markets.<br />
“We have calculated our cost per<br />
animal and it is competitive,” Dooley<br />
said.<br />

Analyzing costs | Low margins in slaughter plants make business difficult for new and small players<br />
BY BARRY WILSON<br />
OTTAWA BUREAU<br />
Prairie grain farmers are having a<br />
good year, but that should not be<br />
attributed to the end of the CWB<br />
monopoly, says National Farmers<br />
Union president Terry Boehm.<br />
He also argued during a video<br />
appearance before the House of<br />
Commons agriculture committee<br />
Dec. 6 that government changes to<br />
agricultural regulations and rules are<br />
turning the clock back to an era when<br />
farmers were at the mercy of market<br />
forces and powerful monopolies.<br />
During the past century, farmers<br />
have lobbied for and won the right to<br />
have a greater say in the government<br />
Low margins force beef slaughter plants to run at full capacity. | FILE PHOTO<br />
Although cost is a significant factor,<br />
Koontz said another argument<br />
against building a beef slaughter<br />
plant in North America is that existing<br />
facilities aren’t operating at full<br />
capacity.<br />
Based on data from his 2007 study,<br />
Koontz said the industry had approximately<br />
25 percent excess capacity.<br />
A few plants have closed over the<br />
last five years, but the North American<br />
cattle herd has also contracted.<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore, Koontz said excess capacity<br />
may no longer be 25 percent, but<br />
it’s at least 15 percent.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plant in Winnipeg is planning<br />
to sell its beef into the kosher and<br />
halal market, which should partially<br />
compensate for increased killing<br />
costs.<br />
In a study published this year in<br />
Agricultural and Resource Economics<br />
Review, Lee Schulz of Iowa State University<br />
found that steaks with a religious<br />
claim earn a market premium<br />
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13 , 2012<br />
of $1.18 per lb. compared to steaks<br />
that aren’t kosher or halal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> premium is helpful, but Schulz<br />
determined it’s relatively small compared<br />
to organic beef, which garners<br />
a premium of $2.98 per lb.<br />
Koontz said cost per kill ultimately<br />
determines if a plant succeeds or not.<br />
“It’s really hard to get enough premiums<br />
to offset a higher cost plant,”<br />
he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> theory of premiums is great.<br />
But … what market is not being satisfied<br />
now that you’re going to satisfy?<br />
Or whose market are you going to<br />
take away from them?”<br />
Cargill already produces certified<br />
halal beef at its Dunlop plant in<br />
Guelph, Ont., which processes 1,500<br />
head per day.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Islamic Food and Nutrition<br />
Council of America certifies the beef<br />
from the Guelph plant, which is much<br />
closer to the major Canadian markets<br />
for halal beef than Winnipeg.<br />
GRAIN | MARKETING<br />
High grain prices not linked to end of CWB monopoly, says NFU president<br />
Maintaining stance | National Farmers Union president Terry Boehm contends costs for producers will rise<br />
regulatory and co-operative grain<br />
system, the Saskatchewan farmer told<br />
MPs during the first NFU appearance<br />
before the committee in months.<br />
“We’re systematically dismantling<br />
that collaborative system under the<br />
guise of buzzwords like modernization,<br />
rationalization, an assortment of<br />
pieces along that line and really recreating<br />
an adversarial system where<br />
farmers fundamentally end up paying<br />
for all the costs in the system, as they<br />
always have,” said Boehm.<br />
After weeks of testimony about how<br />
this year, with its record grain and<br />
oilseed prices, has been a good one<br />
for prairie farmers, Conservative<br />
MPs pressed Boehm on how farmers<br />
are doing in the aftermath of the<br />
CWB monopoly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Conservatives pressed for and<br />
eventually won the battle over ending<br />
the CWB monopoly, but the NFU<br />
was one of the strongest defenders of<br />
the single desk.<br />
Peace River Conservative MP Bob<br />
Zimmer said his farmer constituents<br />
have seen positives in the market since<br />
the end of the CWB monopoly Aug. 1.<br />
Are NFU farmer members better off<br />
this year than last year?<br />
“<strong>The</strong> prices are not determined<br />
entirely by single desk or no single<br />
desk or voluntary or otherwise,” said<br />

NORTHERN BEEF PACKERS | CATTLE<br />
South Dakota<br />
packing facility<br />
opens doors<br />
It’s been six years since the project<br />
was initially proposed, but a $109<br />
million beef slaughter plant in Aberdeen,<br />
S.D., finally began processing<br />
cattle this fall.<br />
Northern Beef Packers, which is<br />
partially owned by Korean investors<br />
and was built to alleviate a beef processing<br />
gap in the Dakotas, is now<br />
processing cattle. As it scales up production<br />
into 2013 and 2014, plant<br />
managers expect to process 1,500<br />
cattle per day.<br />
If a second shift is added, the<br />
plant’s kill capacity could reach<br />
3,500 per day.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plant plans to buy cattle from<br />
North and South Dakota, Minnesota<br />
and Iowa because producers in<br />
those states now ship cattle south to<br />
plants in Nebraska.<br />
Laure Swanson, Northern Beef<br />
Packers marketing director, told the<br />
Bismarck Tribune that Canadian<br />
producers have expressed interest in<br />
selling cattle to the plant.<br />
Aberdeen, which is about a sixhour<br />
drive south of Winnipeg, may<br />
offer significant transport savings for<br />
Manitoba producers, who normally<br />
sell cattle to plants in Alberta or to<br />
processors hundreds of kilometres<br />
south of Aberdeen.<br />

model that differs from the large farm<br />
assumption of current policy.<br />
“We believe that small-sized and<br />
medium-sized family farms should<br />
be the fundamental food producing<br />
units in Canada,” he told MPs. “Our<br />
mandate is to work for economic and<br />
social justice for those farmers.”<br />
He said government policies on the<br />
CWB, the Canadian Grain Commission<br />
and the railways are returning<br />
the farm economy to a time when<br />
farmers had less power.<br />
“All of these policies that we’re seeing<br />
are really shifting the clock back<br />
without actually looking at the entire<br />
public good, (without) economic<br />
cost-benefit analysis taking place,”<br />
he said.

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
WAHPETON, N.D. — <strong>The</strong>re’s good<br />
news for farmers who shook their<br />
heads when the Concord air drill was<br />
pulled from the market.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sunflower 9700 Air Till Drill,<br />
which will be available for the 2013<br />
seeding season, is a Concord drill<br />
with serious upgrades, said Mark<br />
Wyrick, global product manager for<br />
the Agco-Amity joint venture.<br />
“When we were at Farm Progress in<br />
Regina last year, a lot of farmers were<br />
asking when we’re going to bring<br />
back the Concord,” Wyrick said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Sunflower 9700 is the next<br />
generation of what would have been<br />
called the Concord. It’s the same<br />
concept as the Concord, but with a<br />
lot of improvements. <strong>The</strong> team that<br />

BY RON LYSENG<br />
WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
WAHPETON, N.D. — <strong>The</strong> evolution<br />
of brand names and ownership of<br />
farm equipment factories can be as<br />
confusing as seeing three paint<br />
schemes on the same implement.<br />
For example, seeding and tillage<br />
equipment rolling out of the factory<br />
in Wahpeton, North Dakota, might<br />
have a connection to Fargo Products,<br />
Amity, Agco, Wil-Rich, Wishek, Challenger<br />
or Sunflower, according to<br />
Mark Wyrick, global product manager<br />
at the plant.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> product line here in Wahpe-<br />
same team that designed the original<br />
Concord.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> drill is manufactured in Wahpeton<br />
under the joint venture.<br />
Wyrick said the 9700 is designed to<br />
be a one-pass drill for small grain.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wide ribbon seed bed is a key<br />
feature, and the five inch wide seedbed<br />
has the highest seedbed utilization<br />
available with row packing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> shanks are on a 10 inch row<br />
spacing. Each ribbon row is five<br />
inches wide, which leaves a five inch<br />
non-tilled strip between each row.<br />
Wyrick said the 9700 has more of a<br />
square shaped frame and is deeper<br />
front to rear. Unlike the 9800 Single<br />
Disc Drill that Agco-Amity introduced<br />
at the same time, the Air Till<br />
Drill is intended to operate at a more<br />
conventional five m.p.h.<br />
“Ribbon seeding was long ago<br />
proven to produce yields that consis-<br />
ton is comprised of components or<br />
remnants from numerous companies,”<br />
said Wyrick.<br />
Brothers Howard and Brian Dahl<br />
are the major players in bringing<br />
these products together, he added.<br />
Farm equipment is in their blood,<br />
dating back to 1948 when their<br />
grandfather was a founding partner<br />
in the Melroe Bobcat company.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir father bought control of<br />
Steiger in 1970 and served as chief<br />
executive officer, turning the tractor<br />
company into a thriving business<br />
that he sold to Case in 1986.<br />
Howard and Brian incorporated<br />
Concord in 1977 and quickly made it<br />
tently outperform conventional row<br />
drills,” said Tom Draper, product<br />
manager of seeding and tillage<br />
equipment at Sunflower.<br />
“Plant response with ribbon seeding<br />
is a much stronger stem, superior<br />
roots and maximum yields. Concord<br />
proved over and over again that this<br />
is the key to maximum production.”<br />
He said ribbon seeding is the foundation<br />
of the 9700 and allows producers<br />
to choose between three<br />
options for fertilizer placement:<br />
• fertilizer can be placed with the<br />
seed in the ribbon<br />
• fertilizer can be placed below the<br />
seed ribbon with a variety of opener<br />
configurations<br />
• anhydrous can be placed at the<br />
wing tips of sweep openers<br />
Draper said packing is the key to<br />
uniform emergence in cereal grains,<br />
and good packing can’t be attained<br />
MACHINERY | SEEDING<br />
Agco’s new line has long heritage<br />
the number one air seeder in North<br />
America. When Case bought Concord<br />
in 1996, the Dahls established<br />
Amity Technology, which focused on<br />
leading edge technology in seeding<br />
and beet harvest equipment.<br />
At the same time, former Concord<br />
employees established Fargo Products,<br />
which designed the stainless<br />
steel air tank and the drill now known<br />
as the Sunflower 9700. Fargo Products<br />
also discovered the Australian<br />
single disc drill now known as the<br />
Sunflower 9800.<br />
Amity then bought Fargo Products<br />
and its patents. In 2006, it bought 50<br />
percent of Wishek. Amity stepped<br />
without a heavy frame. Weighing in at<br />
36,500 pounds for the 60 foot drill,<br />
the Amity-designed 9700 weighs<br />
more than most similar drills from<br />
other competitors.<br />
Each packing wheel is mounted on<br />
its own walking beam, and each<br />
walking beam has its own individual<br />
spring mount to the drill frame. A run<br />
will hop stones or ridges that it<br />
encounters without affecting the<br />
others.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 9700 functions in all seeding<br />
situations, from conventional tillage<br />
to no-till in heavy residue, but seeding<br />
into heavy residue was the design<br />
team’s major goal. Shanks are<br />
arranged on the frame so the drill can<br />
seed into extreme conditions without<br />
clogging.<br />
Optional coulters at the front are<br />
available for severe residue situations<br />
such as standing corn stalks<br />
further into the air seeding business<br />
in 2007 when it bought the design<br />
and patents for the Australian single<br />
disc drill.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>n in 2011, Wil-Rich and Wishek<br />
became part of a joint venture com-<br />
83<br />
and heavy wheat residue.<br />
An optional disc leveller prevents<br />
the rear shanks from covering the<br />
rows of the front shanks, ensuring<br />
that all seed rows have an equal<br />
amount of soil cover for uniform seed<br />
germination and emergence.<br />
Depth control collars on the<br />
hydraulic packer lift cylinders allow<br />
the operator to see if all openers are at<br />
the correct depth. Re-phasing lift<br />
cylinders allows the drill to return to<br />
the same level after raising and lowering.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drill has a 650 lb. trip spring to<br />
allow the openers to jump over<br />
obstacles and immediately return to<br />
work. <strong>The</strong> 9700 can be set up for<br />
anhydrous ammonia.<br />
Power requirements are seven to<br />
nine horsepower per foot of drill.<br />

needed, and Amity gains access to<br />
new markets.”

Spiral slows seed speed<br />
BY RON LYSENG<br />
WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
Brian Cruson wanted a seed brake<br />
to equalize the pressure and flow in<br />
air seeder seed runs.<br />
But it had to be adjustable.<br />
Such a system would also let farmers<br />
set up their air carts with the right<br />
air for each opener and cart .<br />
His design is a black, ultravioletprotected<br />
spiral device that quickly<br />
splices into the seed runs. He calls it<br />
airguard.<br />
Conventional seed brakes reduce<br />
seed bounce but don’t permit fine<br />
tuning to achieve uniform airflow to<br />
all openers, said Cruson, an engineer<br />

On most air delivery systems, seed<br />
is delivered down to the boot at about<br />
70 km-h.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> typical seed brake we see on<br />
the market can slow the speed of the<br />
seed, but it doesn’t give you any<br />
means to tune it,” he said.<br />
“Seeds from a short run that’s closer<br />
to the manifold are always faster than<br />
the seeds out at the ends of the longer<br />
runs. So even if you have seed brakes<br />
on all runs, the short run seeds continue<br />
to bounce more than seeds that<br />
travel through a long run.”<br />
Germination and growth would be<br />
more uniform across the entire field<br />
if all the seeds fell into the trench at<br />

the same speed and with the same<br />
force, he said. <strong>The</strong> other obvious<br />
benefit is that more seeds end up in<br />
the trench instead of laying on the<br />
surface.<br />
Enter Cruson’s new spiral.<br />
Air, seed and fertilizer come shooting<br />
down the chute on their trip to the<br />
boot. Air always follows the course of<br />
least resistance, so when it enters the<br />
spiral, it rushes out the cap at the top<br />
of the Airguard.<br />
<strong>The</strong> seed has weight, so it continues<br />
falling into the spiral and through the<br />
opener, but at a more relaxed rate.<br />
Cruson decided to control the air in<br />
each seed brake by adjusting the<br />
height of the cap with spacer washers.<br />
If he installs the full complement of<br />
washers under any cap, that cap is<br />
raised up enough that 100 percent of<br />
the air flow blows out. If he removes<br />
all the spacers, the cap fits tight and<br />
no air is released. All of the air goes<br />
down the tube.<br />
A good benchmark at which to start<br />
is 90 percent of the air out the top and<br />
10 percent down the tube with the<br />
seed. That works out to a seed speed<br />
of 10 to 13 km-h.<br />
Even light-weight canola seeds do<br />
not exit via the exhaust.<br />
Airguard has a second benefit,<br />
which is seed flow uniformity from<br />
one end of the drill to the other. <strong>The</strong><br />
operator can fine tune the overall<br />
system using a flow meter costing<br />
$200. <strong>The</strong> ability to add or remove<br />
spacer washers lets the operator tune<br />
every opener so they all have the<br />
same flow rate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ability to control the air<br />
released out the top has the added<br />
advantage of allowing seed and<br />
granular fertilizer to go down at the<br />
same time without the granular plugging<br />
from fertilizer dust. <strong>The</strong>re is no<br />
screen in the system, thus no screen<br />
to catch dust.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Airguard can be installed on<br />
any brand or model air cart. It sells for<br />
$19.95. For more information, call<br />
Cruson at 306-781-4820 or visit www.<br />

Airguard’s spiral design plays a<br />
major role in how it works.

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />
WAHPETON, N.D. — <strong>The</strong> Sunflower<br />
9800 Single Disc Drill introduced<br />
by Agco this summer is<br />
designed to work at speed.<br />
“If you don’t have the power to seed<br />
at a minimum of 5.5 m.p.h., then you<br />
need a bigger tractor,” said Mark<br />
Wyrick, global product manager for<br />
Agco-Amity.<br />
He said seven to nine m.p.h. is typical<br />
in fields where rocks are not an<br />
issue. When rocks are an issue, six<br />
m.p.h. is more appropriate.<br />
Seed bounce is not the problem a<br />
person might imagine when running<br />
at those speeds. Wyrick said the 9800,<br />
one of the heaviest drills on the market,<br />
is designed for higher speeds and<br />
to keep the openers at a constant<br />
depth.<br />
It’s called a single disc drill, but<br />
each trailing arm actually carries two<br />
sets of paired discs mounted six<br />
inches apart. <strong>The</strong>re’s a nine inch gap<br />
on the field surface, which is not disturbed,<br />
and then two more sets of<br />
paired discs on the next arm. <strong>The</strong> patent<br />
refers to it as opposing single<br />
discs.<br />
“I suppose you could also call it a<br />
paired row because the two discs<br />
work in conjunction with one another.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y depend on each other,” said<br />
Wyrick.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> discs fracture the soil and lift<br />
it. While the soil is lifted, the seed is<br />
placed into the soil. <strong>The</strong> soil then falls<br />
back over the seed row, preventing<br />
seed and fertilizer from bouncing<br />
out. Speed is an essential part of the<br />
plan.”<br />
Wyrick said the angle of the discs is<br />
critical in lifting the soil and letting it<br />
fall back over the seeds. <strong>The</strong> concept,<br />
which was engineered and patented<br />
in Australia, is aimed at dry regions<br />
where farmers want an absolute<br />
minimum of soil disturbance, he<br />
added.<br />
<strong>The</strong> disc on the left side throws soil<br />
to the right side, and a distinct line in<br />
the field delineates where the disc<br />
travelled. <strong>The</strong> field to the left of this<br />
disc is undisturbed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> same action is repeated with<br />
the disc on the right side throwing<br />
soil to the left. <strong>The</strong> field surface to the<br />
right, outside the seed zone, is left<br />
untouched.<br />
Amity Technology thought the drill<br />
would be a good fit for drier regions of<br />
North America.<br />
It bought the patents and now<br />
manufactures the drill in the Agco-<br />
Amity joint venture factory in Wahpeton,<br />
N.D.<br />
Amity field tested 25 units in 2008,<br />
fine tuning the geometry of the discs<br />
to suit heavy clay soil.<br />
<strong>The</strong> discs have what amounts to five<br />
degrees toe-out. <strong>The</strong> leading edges of<br />
the two discs at the nine o’clock position<br />
are farther apart than the trailing<br />
edges at the three o’clock position.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pair of discs are six inches<br />
apart, and their action creates a six<br />
inch wide cultivated seedbed for two<br />
rows of seed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> discs also have three degrees<br />
positive camber, so the bottoms of<br />
the discs at the six o’clock position are<br />
closer to each other in the soil than<br />
they are at the 12 o’clock position.<br />
“You can run granular fertilizer<br />
with the seed or you can add an<br />
optional mid-row bander for any<br />
form of nitrogen fertilizer,” said<br />
Wyrick.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> mid-row disc is mounted<br />
ahead of and centred between each<br />
pair of discs. So you have nitrogen<br />
down the middle with a seed row<br />
three inches off to each side.”<br />
Most drills run the gauge wheel<br />
next to or close to the opener, but the<br />
9800 packer tires do double duty.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y pack the seed row and hold the<br />
discs at the precise seeding depth set<br />
by the operator.<br />
Locating packers on the trailing<br />
arm well behind the opener allows<br />
dirt coming off the discs to flow back<br />
to cover seeds without interference.<br />
This design reduces the amount of<br />
crop residue tucking into the seed<br />
trench, eliminates sidewall compaction<br />
and leaves a six inch wide<br />
strip of black soil to promote soil<br />
warming.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are no springs on the trailing<br />
arms. Instead, there is only one<br />
hydraulic cylinder for each arm.<br />
Depth control collars on those cylinders<br />
hold the frame at the correct<br />
height.<br />
<strong>The</strong> discs seed shallower as the<br />
frame rises and deeper as the frame<br />
lowers. Seed depth goes from zero to<br />
three inches.<br />
Down pressure adjustment is onthe-go<br />
from the cab. A display panel<br />
in the cab allows the operator to<br />
monitor toolbar down force.<br />
<strong>The</strong> single disc drill was designed to<br />
be simple with a minimum of moving<br />
parts. <strong>The</strong> design of the trailing arm<br />
eliminates more than 75 percent of<br />
the moving parts normally associated<br />
with conventional single disc<br />
drills.<br />
Two grease zerks on each arm<br />
require service every 25 hours. All<br />
bearings on the discs and packer<br />
hubs require greasing once a year.<br />

HERBICIDES | WEED RESISTANCE<br />
Use herbicide tank mix against resistance: agrologist<br />
Reducing risk | Glyphosate resistant kochia is spreading, but officials worry about resistant wild oats, green foxtail and cleavers<br />
BY DAN YATES<br />
SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />
Weed biologist Eric Johnson was<br />
telling farmers as recently as a few<br />
years ago to fight problematic weeds<br />
with a higher rate of glyphosate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Agriculture Canada scientist<br />
has since changed his message,<br />
armed with a better understanding<br />
of how weeds develop resistance to<br />
commonly used herbicides and<br />
knowledge of glyphosate-resistant<br />
kochia on the Prairies.<br />
At the Agri-Trend 2012 Farm<br />
Forum Event in Saskatoon, Johnson<br />
urged producers to guard against<br />
herbicide resistance by tank mixing<br />
herbicides with multiple modes of<br />
action, especially in chem-fallowed<br />
fields where resistant weeds are first<br />
appearing.<br />
“So even people that advise (farmers)<br />
are a bit of the problem or contributed<br />
to the problem,” he said in an<br />
interview.<br />
“And so there’s still a bit of that mentality<br />
… but really, we should be tank<br />
mixing.”<br />
Officials announced earlier this<br />
year that glyphosate-resistant kochia<br />
had been discovered in three chemfallowed<br />
fields in southern Alberta in<br />
2011, the result of extensive use of the<br />
Group 9 herbicide regularly applied<br />
as Roundup.<br />
Further survey work uncovered<br />
more populations of resistant kochia<br />
nearby and all signs point to the presence<br />
of the weeds in 2012 at a location<br />
further north in Alberta and a<br />
few sites in southern Saskatchewan.<br />
Johnson told the conference that<br />
only 15 years ago scientists predicted<br />
weeds wouldn’t develop resistance.<br />
“I think we’ve learned as weed scientists<br />
now to realize we’ll never say<br />
that a plant won’t develop resistance<br />
to herbicides because there’s so<br />
many different ways they can adapt.”<br />
Johnson said officials want to do<br />
more extensive surveying for resistant<br />
kochia in Saskatchewan. As a<br />
tumbleweed, it produces large<br />
amounts of seed and travels quickly.<br />
“Kochia responds to the environment.<br />
It likes dry, saline conditions,”<br />
said Johnson.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> last few years, it’s been wetter,<br />
so it hasn’t been quite as predominant<br />
and, I don’t think, quite as on<br />
people’s minds. One dry year and it’ll<br />
be back and they’ll remember how<br />
serious it actually is.”<br />
All kochia populations on the Prairies<br />
are already assumed to be resistant<br />
to Group 2 herbicides, which<br />
spread quickly in a five-year period<br />

in the 2000s. Johnson said growers<br />
must keep this in mind when tankmixing<br />
herbicides to delay or manage<br />
Group 9 resistant populations<br />
because the Group 2 herbicide won’t<br />
be an effective selection.<br />
He said producers have several<br />
options for tank mixes in wheat and<br />
barley crops including dicamba,<br />
Cleanstart and Blackhawk, although<br />
he noted that 2,4-D alone won’t<br />
effectively manage glyphosateresistant<br />
kochia populations.<br />
Growers have fewer options in<br />
pulse and canola crops, but those<br />
available include Cleanstart and<br />
Amitrole 240.<br />
Johnson is researching the use of<br />
alternative Group 14 and 15 herbicides<br />
on some crops.<br />
“It does buy us time. We can’t lose<br />
sight of those other things you have to<br />
do that are important: good plant<br />
density, competitive crops, crop<br />
rotations,” he said.<br />
“Those are very critical as well into<br />
extending the life of our herbicides.”<br />
Glyphosate-resistant kochia is<br />
appearing in chem-fallow fields,<br />
where Johnson recommended producers<br />
tank mix with Cleanstart, a<br />
Group 9 herbicide, or Distinct, a<br />
dicamba product.<br />
“I would like to talk to the growers<br />
more in the infected area that are<br />
chem-fallowing and discuss it with<br />
them. I don’t want to come out and<br />
say that you shouldn’t be doing this<br />
because they are doing it for a reason<br />
and it is a drier area and fallow has<br />
been and probably will continue to<br />
be a part of their system down there,”<br />
said Johnson. “We might just have to<br />
work on some options to reduce their<br />
risk.”<br />
Based on their abundance, officials<br />
believe wild oats, green foxtail and<br />
cleavers are the weed populations in<br />
which glyphosate resistance may<br />
appear in next.<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />
Agricultural <strong>Producer</strong>s Association<br />
of Saskatchewan president Norm<br />
Hall challenged directors last week to<br />
build a stronger organization based<br />
on the success of the last year.<br />
“You need to take ownership of it,”<br />
he told delegates at the start of their<br />
annual general meeting in Regina.<br />
He said they need to be more active<br />
within their member rural municipalities<br />
and take responsibility for<br />
making sure the APAS board is<br />
speaking on their behalf.<br />
Hall, a Wynyard farmer who became<br />
president a year ago, was re-elected to<br />
another term later in the meeting.<br />
APAS continues to rebuild after<br />
infighting nearly destroyed the organization<br />
several years ago.<br />
It has struggled to retain members<br />
after reaching a peak of 135 RM<br />
members in 2006.<br />
<strong>The</strong> organization began 2012 with<br />
61 out of a possible 295 RMs.<br />
An introductory membership campaign<br />
attracted 30 more RMs, and<br />
general manager Nial Kuyek said the<br />
NEWS<br />
challenge now is to keep them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se members are considered<br />
transitional until they begin to pay<br />
regular membership fees, which are<br />
either six cents an acre or a half-mill<br />
based on the 2000 assessment,<br />
whichever is less. Kuyek said most<br />
members pay the fee based on acres.<br />
APAS hired field representative<br />
Bruce Dodds a year ago to recruit and<br />
retain members. He said he had met<br />
with 160 non-members by the end of<br />

AGRIBITION | REPAIRS<br />
Regina OKs<br />
building fund<br />
for Agribition<br />
BY KAREN BRIERE<br />
REGINA BUREAU<br />
Ten days after the leaky roofs in the<br />
Regina buildings used for Canadian<br />
<strong>Western</strong> Agribition drew headlines, a<br />
city committee has allocated money<br />
for repairs and to develop a longterm<br />
plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> finance and administration<br />
committee Dec. 4 recommended<br />
that $100,000 from the city’s Community<br />
Investment Fund money be<br />
used to fix aging infrastructure. <strong>The</strong><br />
Canada Centre roof will be among<br />
the first to be fixed.<br />
Another $100,000 from the same<br />
fund will be spent on a study of Agribition’s<br />
impact and a plan to ensure it<br />
remains sustainable.<br />
“Due to the fact that this event is one<br />
of the most significant annual events<br />
in Regina in terms of economic<br />
impact, and the fact that the city owns<br />
the facilities which host the event,<br />
there is a need to develop a new partnership<br />
model that addresses today’s<br />
facility issues and that ensures the<br />
long-term sustainability of the event,”<br />
said a committee document.<br />
Previous estimates suggest<br />
Agribition pumps $27 million into<br />
the local economy during its six-day<br />
show each year.<br />
Attendance last year was 126,000.<br />
Agribition chief executive officer<br />
Marty Seymour said the study, to be<br />
led by the Regina Regional Opportunities<br />
Commission, is the “real win.”<br />
Agribition is only a renter for three<br />
weeks of the year, he noted, and new<br />
buildings must be multi-purpose to<br />
earn income from many types of<br />
events. <strong>The</strong> study will look at operating<br />
and capital requirements.<br />
Seymour said he hopes it can be<br />
complete within six months.<br />
He said the $100,000 for immediate<br />
repairs will hardly make a dint in the<br />
work that needs to be done, but it will<br />
take some pressure off.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city already supports<br />
Agribition through an annual grant<br />
of $45,000.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Regina Hotel Association,<br />
which already contributes financially<br />
to Agribition, will also provide<br />

APAS districts are based on the<br />
Saskatchewan Association of Rural<br />
Municipalities division map. Dodds<br />
said there were only three members<br />
in District 3 at the start of the year but<br />
seven have been added.<br />
He said his goal for next year is for<br />
more than half of the province’s RMs<br />
to belong to the organization. Another<br />
membership incentive will be used.<br />
Meanwhile, Todd Lewis from Gray<br />
and Arlynn Kurtz from Stockholm<br />
will return as vice-presidents for<br />
another year.<br />

Kuyek served notice that he will<br />
retire at the end of June. He identified<br />
three challenges for APAS: member<br />
recruitment and retention, expansion<br />
of the associate membership<br />
base to more commodity organizations<br />
and more work in policy development<br />
and advancement.<br />
APAS will run a projected deficit of<br />
$67,000 this year. Kuyek said that<br />
would be covered by an operating<br />
surplus from previous years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> organization recently moved<br />
its Regina office, which Kuyek said<br />
will save $50,000 per year.<br />

ALBERTA BEEF PRODUCERS | INQUIRY REQUEST<br />
<strong>Producer</strong>s call<br />
for inquiry<br />
into XL Foods<br />
Looking for answers | <strong>Producer</strong> group wants<br />
to know what caused E. coli contamination<br />
BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />
CALGARY BUREAU<br />
Beef producers want to know what<br />
went wrong at XL Foods following<br />
Canada’s largest ever meat recall.<br />
<strong>The</strong> beef processing company at<br />
Brooks, Alta., was closed for a month<br />
this fall after the discovery of E. coli<br />
0157:H contamination. International<br />
markets were lost, beef from 5,000<br />
head of cattle was destroyed and<br />
questions grew over how things got<br />
out of hand.<br />
Alberta Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s passed a<br />
resolution at its recent annual meeting<br />
calling for an independent inquiry,<br />
and the Canadian Cattlemen’s<br />
Association is demanding answers to<br />
a long list of questions submitted to<br />
the federal government.<br />
“It is a big question everywhere —<br />
what happened?” rancher Bob Lowe<br />
of Nanton said at the ABP meeting<br />
held in Calgary Dec. 3-5.<br />
“It is not a matter of laying blame,”<br />
he said. “We just want answers as to<br />
what happened.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> CCA submitted its questions to<br />
an expert advisory committee within<br />
the federal government.<br />
“We put together a list of 25 questions<br />
based on things like how did the<br />
recall end up getting expanded to<br />
muscle cuts … questions that we<br />
were hearing from producers,” said<br />
CCA vice-president Dave Solverson.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also questions about how<br />
communications were handled and<br />
technical matters.<br />
Federal agriculture Gerry Ritz said<br />
in a Dec. 7 interview that the advisory<br />
committee set up to look into the<br />
matter is expected to take months,<br />
said.<br />
He defended the work of the Canadian<br />
Food Inspection Agency and<br />
the extent of the recall.<br />
“We take it to heart and don’t want<br />
to see those types of issues happen<br />
but we will never apologize for the<br />
size and the scope of the recall. If that<br />
is what is required, that is what we<br />
will do,” he said.<br />
He is also confident the management<br />
style of new owners JBS-USA<br />
will introduce a new food safety culture<br />
and new federal legislation for<br />
food safety should improve future<br />
investigations.<br />
In the meantime, XL Foods is processing<br />
up to 2,500 head per day. JBS<br />
has an option to buy the troubled<br />
company and its assets for $100 million<br />
but said it is still evaluating the<br />
deal.<br />
Willie Van Solkema, a former president<br />
of sales and operations at XL<br />
Foods, was named president of JBS-<br />
Canada Dec. 5.<br />
Sterling Fox, head of cattle procurement<br />
for XL, now holds that same job<br />
within the new framework.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are a lot of positive things<br />
with JBS coming to Canada,” Fox told<br />
the ABP meeting. “I believe they will<br />
drive a ton of value throughout the<br />
Canadian market.”<br />
As a multinational company, JBS<br />
has a presence in 151 countries and<br />
produces a large portfolio of branded<br />
beef products. XL’s production<br />
should return to 4,000 head per day<br />
once it regains its license to export to<br />
the United States.<br />
“If we had access to beef in the U.S.,<br />
we could be back up to full production,”<br />
Fox said.<br />
Bacterial contamination and food<br />
safety is an ongoing challenge for<br />
large processors.<br />
Scott Entz of Cargill Meat Solutions<br />
of High River, Alta., said the plant<br />
uses practices, training and specific<br />
interventions to reduce contamination<br />
at every step of the process.<br />
“Even at Cargill, I can’t stand up<br />
and tell you we are never ever going<br />
to have microbes,” he said.<br />
“If the loads coming in are high<br />
enough, with all these steps we can’t<br />
guarantee ourselves we have eliminated<br />
all that microbe.”<br />
He said the company conducts<br />
regular staff retraining, particularly<br />
in areas where the risk of contamination<br />
is higher.<br />
It has also installed 120 video cameras<br />
throughout the plant to observe<br />
practices. Employees do not know<br />
when the cameras are photographing<br />
them. Entz said the cameras are<br />
used for training and correcting mistakes<br />
rather than for discipline.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company installed a new<br />
skinning line in 2005, in which carcasses<br />
are washed to remove dirt<br />
and manure before the hide is<br />
removed.<br />
One practice that is not in use is<br />
irradiation. It is approved in the<br />
United States, but Canada does not<br />
allow it. Cargill is working with the<br />
CCA for regulatory change.<br />
However, its use is minimal in the<br />
U.S. because of public perception.<br />

FEED | RESEARCH<br />
Experts working to identify<br />
more feed efficient animals<br />
Looking for savings | <strong>The</strong> rising cost of feeding has officials looking<br />
for genetic markers that could bring savings to producers<br />
BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />
CAMROSE BUREAU<br />
RED DEER — Cattle producers can<br />
save more than $40 per head per year<br />
in feed costs by choosing more feed<br />
efficient animals, says a beef cattle<br />
management specialist.<br />
<strong>The</strong> growing cost of feed grain will<br />
make selecting cattle for feed efficiency<br />
an important tool for producers,<br />
John Basarab told producers<br />
during the <strong>Western</strong> Canadian Grazing<br />
Conference.<br />
“We as a beef industry cannot<br />
ignore that,” said Basarab, a research<br />
scientist with the University of Alberta<br />
and a beef cattle management and<br />
genetics specialist with Alberta Agriculture.<br />
“Inefficient animals eat for fun.”<br />
Basarab has been researching feed<br />
efficiency since the 1990s, but it is<br />
only in recent years, as feed grain<br />
costs rise, that producers and industry<br />
associations have taken a closer<br />
look at selecting feed efficient cattle.<br />
Jeff Hyatt, beef development<br />
co-ordinator with the Canadian<br />
Hereford Association, said the organization<br />
is testing 900 Hereford bulls<br />
over the next three years to identify<br />
the most feed efficient animals.<br />
“We want to identify the most feed<br />
efficient animals within the breed,”<br />
said Hyatt.<br />
<strong>The</strong> association then wants to<br />
develop a marker for the feed efficiency<br />
gene to help identify animals<br />
that have the ability to eat less and<br />
gain the same.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bulls will be tested at Olds College<br />
in Olds, Alta., and Cattleland<br />
Feedyards in Strathmore, Alta., using<br />
the GrowSafe Systems, which can<br />
measure individual feed intake.<br />
Hyatt said finding more efficient<br />
animals is key to keeping the industry<br />
profitable, particularly if producers<br />
can save $40 a head in feed when<br />
only a few years ago profit was $20<br />
per head.<br />
Basarab said feed efficiency is a<br />
moderately inheritable trait. Selecting<br />
for animals that eat less but gain<br />
the same weight seems to have no<br />
affect on growth rate, body size, calving<br />
ease, birth rate and weaning<br />
weight.<br />
Feed costs for slaughter heifers and<br />
steers from efficient sires could be<br />
reduced by $16 a head over a 150-day<br />
finishing period compared to the<br />
offspring of inefficient sires. <strong>The</strong><br />
same 3.7 percent cost saving could<br />
reduce feeding costs for efficient<br />
89<br />
cows by $26 a head compared to inefficient<br />
cows, he added.<br />
Improved feed efficiency will also<br />
help Canadian cattle producers<br />
compete with breeding programs<br />
around the world, which are also<br />
looking at feed efficiency.<br />
“Over the years when I first started,<br />
very few breed associations did this;<br />
now they’re all doing this,” Basarab<br />
said.<br />
“Seed stock producers have already<br />
incorporated this into their breeding<br />
program. All of the beef producing<br />
countries in the world are looking at<br />
it very seriously. All they’re figuring<br />
out is how to include it into a multitrait<br />
selection program.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> chicken, dairy and pork sectors<br />
have already developed animals with<br />
better feed efficiency, he added.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve blown our socks off.”<br />
Basarab estimates a five percent<br />
increase in feed efficiency would<br />
mean $100 million in savings, even if<br />
it were adopted by only 30 percent of<br />
cattle producers.<br />
He said rotational grazing, cross<br />
breeding, improved management<br />
and genetic selection have all<br />
improved efficiency in cattle. <strong>The</strong><br />
next step is choosing cattle that eat<br />
less.

Hog farmers hope<br />
campaign will help<br />
Sharing stories | Alberta group looks to raise<br />
awareness of provincial pork producers<br />
BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />
CAMROSE BUREAU<br />
LEDUC, Alta. — Alberta pork producers<br />
have voted to launch a public<br />
relations campaign to help publicize<br />
their plight.<br />
<strong>Producer</strong> Jaco Poot said few Albertans<br />
know hog farmers are struggling<br />
to pay their bills and stay in<br />
business.<br />
“Consumers and the average<br />
neighbour doesn’t know what is<br />
going on in the industry,” Poot said<br />
during Alberta Pork’s annual meeting<br />
before producers voted for an<br />
awareness campaign.<br />
“We have to create way more<br />
awareness in the general population<br />
of where we are today.”<br />
Northern Alberta pork producer<br />
Rocky Morrell said there is a disconnect<br />
between consumers, retailers<br />
and producers. He estimates that the<br />
province’s 1.2 million sows will drop<br />
to 400,000 if changes aren’t made.<br />
“This is a race to the bottom,” he<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>n consumers might think of us<br />
as a niche market.… <strong>The</strong> only game in<br />
town is to try and get retailers and<br />
We have to create way more<br />
awareness in the general<br />
population of where we<br />
are today.<br />

consumers to try and understand<br />
what is going on.”<br />
Tony Martinez of Donald’s Fine<br />
Foods in Richmond, B.C., said<br />
consumers need to understand<br />
they can’t buy the cheapest American-imported<br />
pork in the grocery<br />
store.<br />
“We have to get consumers to<br />
understand they must pay more.”<br />
Morrell said the campaign needs to<br />
be about more than trying to persuade<br />
consumers to eat more pork.<br />
Instead, consumers need to know<br />
they must be willing to help sustain<br />
an industry or Canadian pork production<br />
will disappear.<br />
“We need to change from selling<br />
pork to sustaining this industry or we<br />
will be gone.”<br />

ABP calls for funding changes<br />
Alberta Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s | Group wants return of non-refundable checkoff<br />
BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />
CALGARY BUREAU<br />
Alberta Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s want to<br />
reinstate the non-refundable $3<br />
checkoff.<br />
<strong>The</strong> organization collects $3 per<br />
head sold in the province and sets<br />
aside $1 for Canada Beef Inc. and the<br />
Beef Cattle Research Council. That<br />
portion is not refunded.<br />
Provincial legislation passed two<br />
years ago requires that all levies collected<br />
on agriculture products be<br />
refundable upon request.<br />
ABP consequently saw its once<br />
hefty budget reduced to $5 million<br />
per year.<br />
Delegates passed a resolution to<br />
return to a non-refundable levy during<br />
the ABP Dec. 3-5 annual meeting<br />
in Calgary.<br />
“We believe this needs to go to a<br />
vote to the producers. It needs to be<br />
put into their hands,” ABP chair Doug<br />
Sawyer said in an interview.<br />
“We are certainly hearing from producers<br />
more and more that they want<br />
it back. We’ll have to look at the right<br />
time.”<br />
He said producers should see the<br />
money as an investment in beef marketing<br />
programs, promotions, education,<br />
research and trade advocacy<br />
through the Canadian Cattlemen’s<br />
Association.<br />
<strong>The</strong> financial pinch has been<br />
noticeable.<br />
ABP collected about $10 million<br />
last year and more than $2 million<br />
was rebated to more than 600 producers.<br />
Most of the refunds went to a<br />
few large feedlots.<br />
“We need to have some money<br />
going forward that we know is there,<br />
if we want to continue these research<br />
projects at a reasonable level,” said<br />
Greg Bowie of Ponoka, newly elected<br />
vice-chair.<br />
Some producers at the meeting<br />
suggested the refundable portion<br />
should be left alone so the industry<br />
can continue to co-operate with the<br />
Alberta Cattle Feeders Association<br />
and <strong>Western</strong> Stock Growers Association,<br />
which want choice.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also argued that the refundable<br />
checkoff has made ABP more<br />
efficient and cost-conscious.<br />
However, others said secure funding<br />
is needed for a united industry.<br />
“This is a debate we need to have.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has been pain, but there have<br />
Trait Stewardship Responsibilities<br />
Notice to Farmers<br />
been some gains,” said Cecilie Fleming<br />
of Granum.<br />
Others argued the money is needed<br />
to properly represent producers<br />

“We cannot represent the producers<br />
if we do not have the funding. We<br />
cannot have all the committees and<br />
all the councils we have if we do not<br />
have the funding,” said Gordon<br />
Graves of Iron River.<br />
“It is imperative for the survival of<br />
this industry that we have a united,<br />
democratic voice and this is the organization.”<br />
Lorrie Jespersen, who represents<br />
Alberta Milk, said the change has left<br />
some organizations cash strapped,<br />
and delegates end up paying out of<br />
their own pockets to support the<br />
association.<br />
“It was a ploy by the government of<br />
the day to divide and conquer so<br />
they could control agriculture in the<br />
way they want. It is not giving agriculture<br />
the true voice that it needs,”<br />
he said.<br />
Alberta is Canada’s largest beef<br />
producing province, and has had a<br />
strong voice on the national scene. It<br />
also paid a large share of the bills,<br />
said Rob Somerville of Endiang.<br />
“In past years, when we had a countervail,<br />
it was ABP that carried the<br />
ball financially for the rest of the<br />
country,” he said.<br />
“If we had to do that again, I think<br />
we would be challenged. We need<br />
secure funding and a non-refundable<br />
checkoff so we can defend our<br />
industry against trade challenges<br />
and to maintain our access to foreign<br />
markets.”<br />
ABP’s financial report said the last<br />
anti-dumping investigation in which<br />
the Canadian cattle industry was<br />
involved cost $4.5 million. Alberta<br />
contributed half the money.<br />

COW EVALUATION | UDDER, TEATS<br />
Examination of udders, teats will help decide retention value<br />
ANIMAL HEALTH<br />
ROY LEWIS, DVM<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many things to evaluate<br />
when selecting a cow. It’s<br />
particularly important to<br />
examine for udder and teat conformation.<br />
Many cows are culled later in life<br />
because of bad teats.<br />
Calves of a cow with bad teats may<br />
have a hard time sucking and getting<br />
much needed colostrum. Persuading<br />
a calf to suck on the big coke bottle<br />
teats can take a lot of individual<br />
attention in the spring calving rush<br />
when labour is at a premium.<br />
Look at the developing udder for<br />
signs of abnormally large or small<br />
teats when selecting heifer replacements<br />
in the spring. <strong>The</strong> teats should<br />
be uniformly in a square. You don’t<br />
want extra teats.<br />
This is especially critical in dairy<br />
cattle where milkers are put on four<br />
teats on a twice daily basis. Most<br />
supernumerary (extra) teats are rudimentary<br />
at best and are usually<br />
either between the normal teats or<br />
behind the normal four teats.<br />
I surgically remove a few in show<br />
cattle, but most often they are left.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can become a problem if they<br />
are large and the calf tries to suck on<br />
them. <strong>The</strong>y are most often blind ending<br />
and rudimentary and the milk<br />
producing gland isn’t attached.<br />
<strong>The</strong> problem is newborn calves can<br />
spend a lot of time trying to get milk<br />
out of them.<br />
Cows are occasionally five quartered,<br />
which doesn’t hurt in a beef<br />
herd but is a definite no-no in a dairy<br />
animal. Most dairies check newborn<br />
calves for that reason.<br />
Some heifer calves deposit a lot of<br />
fat in the udder. This extra fat has<br />
been proven to hurt their future milk<br />
production. <strong>The</strong>y become the good<br />
looking fat healthy cows that produce<br />
scrawny calves because of lack<br />
of milk production.<br />
Lower weaning weights are most<br />
generally a sign of poor milk production<br />
unless there is another medical<br />
reason for the poor weight gains. This<br />
is another good reason for records<br />
and having tags in both cow and calf.<br />
Knowing the birth date of the calf and<br />
its size at weaning helps eliminate<br />
the poor milkers.<br />
Teats on yearlings should be<br />
noticeable but not too large and<br />
evenly placed. Too small or too large<br />
make it difficult for the calf to latch<br />
onto at birth.<br />
Smaller teats also have a smaller<br />
streak canal that requires lots of sucking<br />
to get milk. Calves are not stupid<br />
so will gravitate to sucking on the<br />
teats that milk the easiest.<br />
Teats that are too large are also hard<br />
for the calf to suck on. <strong>The</strong>y have<br />
larger streak canals and will often<br />
leak milk if the teat sphincter is not<br />
tight. <strong>The</strong>se quarters are prone to<br />
mastitis.<br />
<strong>The</strong> teat will either grow larger over<br />
time because it is never milked out or<br />
a chronic mastitis will take hold, rendering<br />
the quarter useless.<br />
<strong>The</strong> good news about chronic mastitis<br />
is the quarter can be dried off<br />
chemically if the cow is not sick.<br />
A veterinarian can advise on treatment,<br />
which involves either copper<br />
sulfate solution or silver nitrate solution<br />
put up the infected quarter. This<br />
sets up chemical inflammation scarring<br />
and drying off of the quarter.<br />
I prefer 12 cc of a one percent silver<br />
nitrate solution infused up the quarter<br />
and then repeated in 10 days.<br />
It is much easier if the cow is in the<br />
process of being weaned and the<br />
other quarters are being dried off<br />
naturally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cow then freshens next year as<br />
a three teater. Milk production does<br />
not suffer because a three teated cow<br />
will produce almost as much as a four<br />
teated cow.<br />
����������<br />
However, it is best to cull the cow if<br />
two quarters are shot because milk<br />
production is considerably less.<br />
Calves usually avoid these quarters<br />
because the taste of mastitic milk is<br />
not good, and the swelling and<br />
inflammation should alert the producer<br />
to check.<br />
Scarred and blind teats are more<br />
difficult to notice, but there are telltale<br />
signs: either the calf always<br />
seems to be sucking and yet is gaunt<br />
or the cow’s udder is always full.<br />
If in doubt, get the cow into the<br />
maternity pen and strip out the quarters<br />
to see if milk is present.<br />
Not many cows are brought into<br />
maternity pens these days to calve<br />
out because of easy calving, but the<br />
ones that are should be stripped out<br />
to make sure the teats are not<br />
plugged. This makes it much easier<br />
on a calf just getting started, but it<br />
also allows problems to be detected<br />
early. Many calves starve to death<br />
each year or don’t get enough colostrum<br />
because of teat problems.<br />
Heavy milkers develop low slung<br />
bags and/or their suspensory apparatus<br />
becomes stretched in later life.<br />
Teat placement becomes too low,<br />
which makes it difficult for tall calves<br />
to suck. <strong>The</strong>y should be put on the<br />
cull list.<br />
Self suckers or heifers that suck on<br />
their pen mates should also be sold as<br />
slaughter animals.<br />
As well, watch for teat injuries from<br />
91<br />
freezing on cold windy days. Ointments<br />
may be able to prevent serious<br />
mastitis problems or calves getting<br />
kicked as they suck these sore blackened<br />
teats.<br />
We can lower the cull rate for udder<br />
and teat problems later in life by<br />
checking teat and udder conformation<br />
early and not using the undesirables<br />
as replacements. You won’t<br />
eliminate all the problems, but most<br />
can be avoided. Your goal is tight<br />
uddered, soft milkers with good milk<br />
production that have a long productive<br />
life in your herd.<br />

FOOD POLICY | BUSINESS ORIENTED<br />
Food industry growth hampered<br />
New food policy needed | Conference Board of Canada says changes needed for increased trade<br />
BY BARRY WILSON<br />
OTTAWA BUREAU<br />
<strong>The</strong> Conference Board of Canada<br />
says “the sky is the limit” for Canada’s<br />
food industry because of growing<br />
world demand, but only if major<br />
policy reforms are made.<br />
Reforms include a move away from<br />
government support in the farm and<br />
food sectors and toward a more market<br />
driven sector, including phasing<br />
out supply management.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a potential to move business<br />
risk management away from<br />
government interventions and<br />
toward companies, where it currently<br />
resides in the processing and<br />
retailing subsectors,” said the business-oriented<br />
think-tank’s report<br />
on the viability of Canada’s food<br />
economy, which was published last<br />
week.<br />
“A new business and innovation<br />
model … will be needed to capture<br />
additional value and capitalization.<br />
Enhanced viability resides in investments.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report from the research organization,<br />
done under the auspices of<br />
its recently created Centre for Food in<br />
Canada, joins a growing body of<br />
business-oriented arguments that<br />
agriculture and food policy is stuck in<br />
a past when the role of government<br />
A new business and innovation<br />
model … will be needed to<br />
capture additional value and<br />
capitalization.<br />
CONFERENCE BOARD REPORT<br />
was to insulate the sector from market<br />
forces and to compensate when<br />
market returns fall.<br />
Its external reviewers were from the<br />
free enterprise Winnipeg-based<br />
Frontier Centre for Public Policy and<br />
Guelph’s George Morris Centre.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report said the new model<br />
would include phasing out supply<br />
management production control<br />
and tariff protection and shifting<br />
away from AgriStability farm income<br />
support.<br />
A board report on how to move<br />
dairy, poultry and egg sectors beyond<br />
supply management will be<br />
issued soon, possibly this winter.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> process of change would likely<br />
involve transitional payments and<br />
budgetary support to supply-managed<br />
farms and away from consumer<br />
transfers,” the report said.<br />
“It would likely entail a shift away<br />
from Growing Forward’s current<br />
(business risk management) support,<br />
notably AgriStability, to a new<br />
business model.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report didn’t analyze the effect<br />
of sharp cuts in government contributions<br />
to AgriStability and Agri-<br />
Invest that federal and provincial<br />
ministers agreed to in September<br />
and are slated to take effect April 1.<br />
However, it said a credible study on<br />
“the economic costs of the termination<br />
of supply management” is<br />
needed.<br />
It said the agriculture sector should<br />
be subjected to the “creative destruction”<br />
that faces most business sectors<br />
that either adapt to market forces or<br />
go out of business.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> scale of public support programs<br />
is such that they have a powerful<br />
influence on the organization<br />
of agricultural firms,” said report<br />
authors Michael Burt, Michael<br />
Grant, Jean-Charles Le Vallée and<br />
Erin Butler.<br />
“Current state supports are sufficient<br />
to make non-viable operators<br />
viable. Large parts of the primary<br />
sector are, in effect, insured against<br />
the vagaries of the creative destruction<br />
processes that are very much<br />
alive in the processing and retailing<br />
sectors of the industry.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report included a favourable<br />

1.40%<br />
1.30%<br />
1.20%<br />
snapshot of the end of the Crow rate<br />
prairie grain transportation subsidy<br />
in 1995, which ended more than half<br />
a billion dollars in annual transportation<br />
help to land-locked wheat<br />
farmers.<br />
It argued that the move encouraged<br />
diversification of the farm<br />
economy at the expense of a decline<br />
in wheat.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report was also scathing in its<br />
review of Quebec’s farm income support<br />
programs that it says limit diversification,<br />
growth and risk-taking.<br />
“A transition period is needed along<br />
with financial support so farmers can<br />
adapt to changes,” the board said.<br />
“It will be difficult and painful and<br />
will require an entrepreneurial attitude<br />
(among Quebec farmers).”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report supported its claim that<br />
agriculture is protected by arguing<br />
consumers and taxpayers contributed<br />
$82 billion to agriculture between<br />
2003 and 2010 through higher prices<br />
and government support.<br />
It said these support levels and protections<br />
are under threat as Canada<br />
increasingly looks for a role in broader<br />
free trade agreements.<br />
Domestic policy and subsidy<br />
reform is needed if Canada is to succeed<br />
in more trade and businessoriented<br />
international environments,<br />

U.S. farm bill may<br />
see cut in budget<br />
U.S. lawmakers are battling out disputes<br />
over a new farm bill.<br />
Cuts in crop subsidies and reductions<br />
in food stamps are major stumbling<br />
points. Farm spending cuts of<br />
$23 billion to $35 billion have been<br />
floated.<br />
A new farm bill would now likely be<br />
absorbed into an overall budgetcutting<br />
designed to avert the looming<br />
“fiscal cliff.”
MANAGING THE FARM<br />
ANDREW RAPHAEL<br />
Farmers are often advised to<br />
add value to the livestock and<br />
crops they produce, which can<br />
mean looking at value-added food<br />
processing.<br />
It can be a profitable strategic move,<br />
but many issues must be considered<br />
when producing prepared food. As<br />
we’ve seen with XL Foods, food safety<br />
is one of the most critical.<br />
However, all the costs related to<br />
small-scale food processing mean<br />
investing in food safety can be a challenge,<br />
particularly when the money<br />
could be used to adhere to new<br />
changes in federal packaging regulations,<br />
improve efficiencies, strengthen<br />
sales margins and increase market<br />
share.<br />
Food safety should always be a priority.<br />
It’s the right thing to do. However,<br />
the reality is that consumers are<br />
often not aware of this investment<br />
and therefore it’s not always top of<br />
mind for food processors that may<br />
have many competing challenges<br />
requiring investment of scarce<br />
resources.<br />
<strong>The</strong> federal government has established<br />
programs under the Canadian<br />
Integrated Food Safety Initiative to<br />
help national organizations.<br />
However, these programs do not<br />
directly help processors buy the<br />
equipment they need, train staff or<br />
get certified against customer<br />
requirements.<br />
Provincial programs vary greatly<br />
across the country in terms of scope<br />
and eligibility criteria. <strong>The</strong>y are also<br />

the infrastructure, equipment and<br />
technology required to meet the rising<br />

Implementing a time-limited federal<br />
food safety tax credit would provide<br />
a simple, uniform, national<br />
financial incentive for food processors<br />
of all sizes, in all commodity<br />
sectors and in all regions.<br />
A food safety tax credit could<br />
adopt the best aspects of the current<br />
Scientific Research and Experimental<br />

(SR&ED), allowing eligible companies<br />
to earn a credit of 35 percent on<br />
the first $3 million of qualified<br />
expenditures for food safety investments<br />
and 20 percent on any excess<br />
amount.<br />
A food processor with a taxable<br />
income in the immediately preceding<br />
year that does not exceed the<br />
business limit ($500,000 in taxable<br />
income) would receive a portion of<br />
the investment tax credits (ITCs)<br />
earned as a refund, after applying<br />
these tax credits against taxes payable.<br />

CWB SHIPS CANOLA OVERSEAS<br />
WINNIPEG (Reuters) — CWB said<br />
it has made its first overseas shipment<br />
of canola, marking its first<br />
diversification into crops outside of<br />
wheat and barley.<br />
CWB dispatched 42,000 tonnes of<br />
canola to Japanese customers via<br />
Prince Rupert, B.C.<br />
It said it bought the canola from<br />
grain companies and farmers on the<br />
cash market, as well as through its<br />
pooling program for farmers.<br />
could be carried back for three years<br />
and forward for up to 20 years.<br />
Tax credits are an effective way to<br />
influence the economic choices of<br />
businesses and individuals in support<br />
of government policy objectives.<br />
Tax credits reduce the cost of<br />
investment without limiting the<br />
choice of technology or services.<br />
It also applies regardless of which<br />
jurisdiction has regulatory responsibility<br />
for the plant and doesn’t have<br />
the limiting and bureaucratic features<br />
of grant programs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost in foregone taxes is difficult<br />
to determine because the program<br />
will be demand driven.<br />
However, using the costs of the<br />
SR&ED program as a guide, 2004<br />
government data shows that 19,600<br />
corporations took advantage of<br />
SR&ED tax credits at a total cost of<br />
$3.4 billion. This suggests an average<br />
cost of $170,000 for each participating<br />
firm.<br />
Based on this, the annual cost<br />
would be $170 million if 2,000 firms<br />
took advantage of the program and<br />
received 50 percent of the average<br />
SR&ED benefit.<br />
This proposed food safety initiative<br />
could also help reduce government’s<br />
health care costs associated with<br />
food-borne illnesses while assisting<br />
the Canadian Food Inspection<br />
Agency to streamline its operations.<br />
Inspection will succeed only if<br />
matched by more investment by<br />
industry to prevent problems rather<br />
than react to them after the fact.<br />
Canadian food processors of all<br />
sizes are under enormous financial<br />
pressure, urgently trying to comply<br />
with government regulations and<br />
93<br />
reduce operating costs to survive in<br />
the short-term while modernizing<br />
and scaling up operations to grow<br />
over the long term.<br />
At this time, a food safety tax credit<br />
would provide a simple, uniform<br />
incentive to help companies keep<br />
food safety a high priority as critical<br />
business decisions are made.<br />
Trust is like a mirror. Once it’s broken,<br />
you can never look at it the same<br />
again.<br />
A food safety tax credit would help<br />
reinforce the sacred trust between<br />
the Canadian agri-food chain and<br />
consumers, a trust that processors<br />
need to think about every day.<br />

can lead to greater losses. 15% X 40 bu/acre X $6.00/bu wheat = $36.00.<br />
