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

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

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

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

However, trade watchers warned
against triggering a trade war even
though COOL has been blamed for
causing Canadian livestock and pork
industries hundreds of millions of
dollars in lost revenue because many
U.S. slaughter and processing plants
do not want to take Canadian animals
or if they do, discount their price
because of added labelling costs and
consumer reaction.
Still, Canadian officials called the
ruling by arbitrator Giorgio Sacerdoti
a win because the U.S. had
argued for a much longer compliance
period.

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

Euthanasia in hog industry falls under scrutiny
Humane handling | In wake of TV documentary, industry officials look for methods more acceptable to consumers
STORIES BY ED WHITE
WINNIPEG BUREAU
Is it OK to kill piglets by banging
their heads on concrete floors?
Is it proper to kill a sow with a captive
bolt gun?
Is it humane to house pregnant
sows in stalls?
The answer to all three of those
questions is “yes,” according to most
livestock veterinarians.
However, from the reaction to footage
from a hog barn near Arborg,
Man., that was recently released by
an activist group and given national
media attention, the public’s opinion
might be “no.”
Veterinary researchers and the hog
industry have responded to the
increasing concern over formerly
normal livestock practices by developing
methods of animal handling
and euthanasia that will at least look
more palatable to the general public.
“Efforts are being made to determine
effective methods that may be
more acceptable to the public,” said
Dr. Laurie Connor, head of the University
of Manitoba’s animal science
department.
“Even as we alleviate any suffering
or potential for suffering via euthanization,
we need to be able to explain
the techniques in a way that is understandable
and acceptable to those
people truly concerned about animal
care and well-being, not just
propaganda for a non-meat agenda.”
However, Connor said an animal’s
welfare should take precedence over
public squeamishness. The use of
poison gas or barbiturates to kill pigs
might look less gruesome to city
dwellers but often causes more
stress, anxiety and suffering to sick or
injured pigs. Using alternative methods
is only acceptable if they reduce
the animal’s suffering.
“Euthanasia needs to be conducted
in the most humane manner possible
with respect and consideration
for the animal being euthanized and
the person that is responsible for the
euthanasia,” said Connor, who was
one of the three-person panel who
reviewed the footage that was used to
claim that many animals at the
Arborg barn were being abused.
“We cannot have a piglet left alive to
suffer and experience a slow death,
so we need an acceptable manner
from the standpoint of a humane
death for the piglet and also a method
that the stockperson can administer
effectively,” Connor said.
MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s
food safety watchdog has stepped
up tests of Canadian and American
meat imports for traces of a banned
feed additive while talks proceeded to
prevent a stop to shipments.
A spokesperson for the regulator
said traces of the feed additive ractopamine
had been found in consignments
of meat from the two countries
on a weekly basis since a warning was
issued earlier this year.
Improving the humane handling of
pigs has been a major concern of the
hog industry in the past decade, after
the industry suffered an onslaught of
accusations that it treats pigs badly.
Secret camera exposes have become
common in recent years in the United
States, and the Arborg one is the
first by Mercy For Animals’ new
Canadian office.
Connor has been involved for many
years with developing open housing
systems for gestating sows, which are
gradually replacing the presently
widespread sow stall system. The
North American hog industry has
faced a barrage of attacks over gestation
stalls, which will be banned in the
European Union in January. Some
producers have already built stall-free
barns or converted existing barns.
In Manitoba, the hog industry has
set 2025 as a voluntary target for
eliminating gestation stalls in the
province.
Euthanasia methods are also being
advanced. Some barns in the U.S.
and elsewhere use poison gas to kill
piglets because it does not seem brutal.
However, Connor said gassing a
pig can cause it more discomfort and
stress than a quick thump on the concrete.
While most swine veterinarians
believe thumping is humane, animal
welfare expert Temple Grandin
believes it should be phased out
because it can be done incorrectly
and result in an injured piglet.
Connor said another problem with
thumping is that most women cannot
do it because it takes a lot of
strength to hit the pig hard enough to
immediately kill it. Female staff will
often wait for a male to become available,
which can leave a piglet to suffer
for longer.
Ian Duncan, a professor emeritus
and researcher at the University of
Guelph, said the challenges with
doing thumping 100 percent effectively
and the difficulty for women to
attempt it has prompted his university
to develop a machine that can do
the same thing without having to
swing the pig.
The Zephyr is a modified nail gun
that uses a mushroom-shaped head
to smash a piglet’s skull. After the first
shot, which immediately knocks the
pig unconscious, a second shot is
fired further back on the skull to
ensure the pig is dead.
“This does the same damage to the
brain and has exactly the same effect
as blunt trauma, but appears to be
“There is no information that the
consignment of goods are being
turned back as of now, but tests are
ongoing. I hope this will not lead to a
suspension of imports,” Rosselkhoznadzor
spokesperson Alexei
Alekseenko said.
Russia demanded that Canadian
and American imports be certified to
be free of the feed additive ractopamine
on Dec. 7, the same day the U.S.
House of Representatives voted to
An episode of CTV’s W5 has put a spotlight on animal welfare and hog
production in Canada. | FILE PHOTO
much less violent,” said Duncan.
Not all veterinarians agree on
which forms of euthanasia are
appropriate at specific times in a
pig’s life. Connor believes the captive
bolt killing of a sow shown in the footage
from the Arborg barn was done
correctly: the animal was immediately
knocked unconscious and the
worker quickly followed up with
checks and a secondary action to
ensure it was truly dead.
Duncan thinks the captive bolt
shouldn’t have been used on a grown
sow.
“This is very bad,” he said.
“Mature pigs have extremely thick
skulls and captive bolt guns are not
effective in stunning them.”
Connor and Duncan agreed that a
staff member that was recorded
shoving a downed sow with his boot
and pulling on its ears was breaking
humane treatment standards.
However, both thought anesthesiafree
tail-docking and castration were
acceptable.
The Canadian code of practice for
pig handling is presently being
revised.
IMPORTS | FOOD SAFETY
Russia complains of tainted Canadian, U.S. beef
name human rights violators as part
of a bill expanding trade with Russia.
Some analysts said the Russian
move was linked to the U.S. Senate’s
passage of the “Magnitsky list”
named after Sergei Magnitsky, a
hedge fund lawyer who died in
prison during a corruption investigation.
“This is absolute nonsense. We
warned about ractopamine a year
ago when we couldn’t know about
any list,” the spokesperson said.
Warnings on ractopamine content
in meat from North America had
been issued as recently as August.
Late last week the regulator said it
would increase laboratory oversight
of meat from three plants in the
United States and Canada.
The additive, which is used to make
meat leaner, has been banned by
some countries despite scientific
evidence that it is safe.
ANIMAL WELFARE | ACTIVISM
Panel finds
methods
shown on
documentary
acceptable
Some incidents of ugly-looking
animal treatment at a hog barn near
Arborg, Man., are “improper,” concludes
an expert Animal Care
Review Panel.
However, most of the activities and
situations portrayed in a sensational
episode of CTV’s W5 and in footage
provided by a vegetarian activist
group are “widely considered
acceptable and humane,” said the
panel, organized by the Centre for
Food Integrity.
The W5 episode, which aired Dec.
8, included footage gained with a
secret camera used by an activist
with Mercy For Animals Canada.
The activist was hired as an
employee and worked for the Puratone
barn for two months in summer
and early autumn 2012.
The episode criticizes a variety of
issues, from sow stalls to water quality
to the indoor nature of the modern
hog industry.
However, the footage it focuses on
and has drawn the most concern are
images of piglets and a sow being
killed.
The piglets are killed by “thumping,”
a common practice used to kill
piglets in which they are swung by
the legs and have their heads
smashed in on the barn’s concrete
floor.
The sow is killed with a bolt gun,
followed by the insertion of a metal
bar to ensure the brain is destroyed
and the animal dead.
Another incident shows a sow
lying on the barn floor and a worker
pulling on its ears and shoving it
with a boot.
While unsettling for many, veterinary
experts generally don’t condemn
either the “thumping” or the
bolt-gun killing of the sow.
The thumping is a form of “blunt
force trauma” that is a quick and
instantaneous method of killing
very young pigs, which have soft
skulls.
However, the panel concluded that
in one case a piglet was killed by
being swung into a metal bar rather

which is not acceptable and could
have caused the animal to suffer.
Killing the sow with a captive bolt
was also considered humane by the
panel, which noted that the workers
took extra steps to ensure the animal
was dead after being bolted.
The panel condemned the slapping,
kicking and ear pulling of a
struggling sow.
“That is unacceptable,” said Dr.
Bob Friendship of the University of
Guelph’s veterinary college and a
member of the expert panel.
“I’ve been on farms where people
seen doing that kind of thing would
be fired on the spot.”

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

Glencore’s Viterra bid
gets regulatory nod

BY MARY MACARTHUR
CAMROSE BUREAU
Prairie farmers will likely be delivering
grain to Glencore elevators
by mid-December after the Swiss
company received final regulatory
approval for its $6 billion purchase
of Viterra.
China’s commerce ministry
approved the deal Dec. 8. It was
necessary because Viterra is a joint
venture partner in a Chinese canola
crushing plant.
The approval was the last step in
the long awaited acquisition of the
prairie grain company by Glencore,
which made the offer to buy Viterra
in March.
The final regulatory hurdle will
give Glencore International a significant
foothold in the grain industry.
As well as its extensive network of
prairie grain elevators, Viterra also
owns grain storage and handling
facilities in Australia.
Viterra expects Dec. 17 will be the
transfer day.
“The approvals over the past
months by the Canadian courts,
regulators around the world and
our shareholders, who voted 99.8
percent in favour of the deal, demonstrate
widespread support for
this transaction,” Viterra president
Mayo Schmidt said in a news
release.
Viterra shareholders accepted
Glencore’s offer of $16.25 per share
in May.
As part of the deal, Glencore must
sell some of its farm retail outlets
to Agrium, while Richardson International
would buy some grain
handling facilities and other assets.
Those arrangements still require
Canadian regulatory approval.
ACQUISITIONS
Richardson waits for
Competition Bureau
WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Richardson
International Ltd. expects
to receive Competition Bureau
approval for its purchase of Viterra
Inc. assets by the end of the year.
Glencore International’s $6 billion
acquisition of Viterra has
cleared its final regulatory hurdle
and is expected to close Dec. 17,
setting the stage for Glencore to
trigger previously arranged sales of
some Viterra assets to Richardson,
Agrium Inc. and CF Industries Holdings
Inc.
Richardson president Curt Vossen
said Canada’s Competition Bureau
has already had extensive discussions
with Richardson, a privately
held Winnipeg-based company.
“We’re feeling generally pretty confident
that it will get approval pretty
much in totality,” Vossen said.
“I’m not getting a sense that there
is going to be a wholesale concern
by the Competition Bureau.”
Assuming the regulator approves
the deal by year’s end, Richardson’s
transaction with Glencore should
close as early as Feb. 1 or as late as
March, he said.
Richardson intends to buy 23
percent of Viterra’s grain-handling
assets and certain processing
assets in North America, for $900
million.
The deal would leave Richardson
and Glencore with roughly onethird
each of Western Canada’s
grain-handling capacity and establish
them as the two biggest players.

Rain lets U.S. farmers ‘stay in the game’
Ag Summit | Demand
for grain and oilseeds
from Asia and Europe is
increasing
BY SEAN PRATT
SASKATOON NEWSROOM
CHICAGO, Ill. — Carle Casale is
paid to be negative, but he sees nothing
but positives in the near and longterm
outlook for U.S. agriculture.
“Just look at the math. It’s really
hard to come away and not be
enthused about agriculture,” said the
chief executive officer of CHS Inc.,
the largest co-operative in the United
States.
Farmers emerged from the 2012
drought in far better condition than
they did during the last severe
drought in 1988.
Growers received just enough
moisture in the fall to apply anhydrous
fertilizer to the fields where
they will be planting their 2013 corn
crops.
“That’s a break that we caught,”
Casale told the 650 delegates attending
the DTN/The Progressive Farmer’s
Ag Summit 2012.
“At least we’re in a position to stay in
the game and be competitive as we
go forward.”
It could have been really ugly had
there been a dry fall because low levels
on the Mississippi River are disrupting
fertilizer shipments to the
corn belt.
Crop nutrient application declined
dramatically after the 1988 drought,
but that won’t be the case in 2012.

“If it were to occur, that is one of the
most disruptive events we could see
globally in the upcoming year,” he
said.
The real source of his optimism for
U.S. agriculture is China. Last month,
Casale took his leadership team to
China to find the answer to one question
— how will the country’s gross
domestic product grow over the next
five years?
“If there is one variable that’s going
to help determine my company’s
fortunes, that is it,” he said.
His team spoke to government offi-
matter what you look at, oats are near
last on everyone of them. If you are
looking at the major grains and
oilseeds, they are probably second

at the Prairie Oat Growers Association
meeting.
“New crop oat values are running at
50 percent of wheat values. You’ve
got about $8.25 (per bushel) in Manitoba
on new crop on wheat. You’ve
got oat values right now running
around $3.75.… That is definitely not
supportive of oat acres next spring.”
Strychar said it is hard to understand
why prices have not rallied
further, given the forecast of exceptionally
tight year end stocks.
Statistics Canada’s November production
report last week pegged oat
production at 2.684 million tonnes,
down 15 percent from the previous
year.

China is expected to import 61 million
tonnes of soybeans in 2012,
which amounts to three-quarters of
total U.S. production of the crop.
Some forecasters expect the country
will be crushing 120 million tonnes of

little higher during the winter, which
would be a good time to sell. However,
he warned against waiting too
long.
“Don’t lose sight of old crop marketing
opportunities. There is a tendency
to say, ‘well, prices are up here
and are going to stay here,’ ” he said.

people are expected to be in the
middle class by 2030, up from a little
less than two billion today. Those
newcomers will eat more meat,
which means increased corn consumption
by livestock.
Casale said the U.S. will lose market
share to regions such as South America
and the former Soviet Union
because the only place for corn to
expand in the U.S. is into states such
as North Dakota, which has lower
yields than the corn belt states.
The problem with that scenario is
that the other parts of the world have
less predictable weather and more
political instability than the U.S.
“You have got demand that’s not
going to vary, but you’re going to
have production that is going to have
huge, huge swings in it and obviously
I believe that’s going to make markets
nothing but more volatile,” he said.
Casale’s optimism for American
agriculture is fueled by farmer willingness
to invest in new technologies
and storage, which is keeping U.S.
farmers in front of competitors such
as Brazil.
He is also forecasting falling gas
prices because America’s car fleet
isn’t growing and will soon need
replacing by more fuel efficient
vehicles. Casale believes the U.S. will
produce more gasoline than it can
consume by 2015. Lower gas prices
means consumers will have more
money to spend on food.
CHS is investing $1.6 billion in a
nitrogen fertilizer plant to be built in
North Dakota. Many other companies
have also announced plans to
build plants because of low North
American natural gas prices.

Looking at the current and forecasted
tight supply and demand situation
leads to a bullish assumption of
stronger oat prices, or at least stronger
relative to competing crops.
Strychar has penciled in 2013-14

which would be the lowest since
1990.
Based on his demand assumptions

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

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

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

Weanling prices rebound as feed price dips
Hog futures recover
| Producers are willing to
reinvest in their operations
BY ED WHITE
WINNIPEG BUREAU
Anyone expecting to find depressed
farmers and a morose outlook at
Manitoba Hog and Poultry Days
would have been surprised.
The show wasn’t deserted and lots
of farmers wandered the aisles of the
trade show, looking to spend money
on their recently money-losing
operations.
“If there’s an economic benefit at
the end of the day, and a quick return
on investment, people are definitely
willing to consider it,” said Rick Bergmann
of Paradigm Agri-Solutions,
who brought several U.S. representatives
for products he supplies to
Manitoba hog farms.
Bergmann said weanling and forward
hog prices are back to profitable
levels, so the farmers who are
still in business have probably survived
the recent calamitous financial
downturn.
“The ones who are in it today are
the ones who are going to be here
tomorrow,” said Bergmann.
Spring and summer Chicago lean
hog futures don’t offer big profits, but
they offer acceptable returns for
farmers to restock their barns with
feeder pigs when combined with
feed prices that are much lower than

D’ARCE McMILLAN
Statistics Canada’s November
production estimates are the
last crop report of the year but
not the last word on the size of the
crop.
Canada’s place as the world’s largest
exporter of canola means the
numbers on that oilseed are always
closely watched for their impact on
the markets.
This year, based on the interviews
with farmers that form the basis of the
report, the canola production number
was pegged at 13.31 million
tonnes, down from the September
estimate of 13.359 million tonnes.
The number was within the range of
analysts’ pre-report forecasts but
near the bottom of the range. Canola
futures jumped a little higher following
the report.
The November report gave substance
to the opinion that the September
report didn’t catch the damage
caused by the terrible wind
storms that blew swaths around at
harvest time.
At first glance, the decline of 49,000
tonnes from the September produc-

That has caused weanling prices to
skyrocket, with prices surging to $50
to $65 per weanling from a low of less
than $10.
Most producers can make a profit
with a mid-$30s price.
Weanling hog producers suffered
the most when the downturn hit. The
first response of many U.S. hog producers
to the Midwest drought was to
empty their barns so that they didn’t
have to feed pigs.
That pushed prices down for
slaughter animals, but the lack of
demand for weanlings caused prices
in that sector to crash.
However, Chicago hog futures now

tion report reinforces the belief that
canola stocks by the end of the crop
year will likely be in short supply.
However, you also have to look at
what Statistics Canada did to the
2011 canola crop number.
You see, the final November crop
production report isn’t really the
final number.
It is the best information available
based on interviews with farmers
and satellite monitoring data.

Eric Aubin, who oversees breeding

said many farmers have faced grave
financial challenges in Quebec and
Manitoba, but Manitoba’s weanling
producers seemed to have suffered
most. Quebec’s operations are mainly

face the same collapse.
Demand for breeding stock there
has continued, although there was a
weak period in the midst of the
However, Statistics Canada also
keeps track of exports and domestic
use and issues stocks reports three
times a year.
From that it can sometimes be
deduced that the amount consumed
is greater than the amount produced,
which can’t happen, so the original
production number must have been
wrong. Statistics Canada then revises
its production number.
In November of last year, the agen-

“Our company is doing quite well,”
said Aubin.
“We have seen some reduction,
and we sold less breeding stock for
awhile, but each producer has his
own set of concerns and his own
way of getting through the bad
times.
Darin Kuhlow of Continental Plastics,
a Wisconsin company that provides
boar semen extender, said
farmers won’t back away from products
like his, even if they are having
money trouble.
He shared Bergmann’s view that
the farmers who have survived to this
cy pegged the canola crop at 14.165
million tonnes, but in the September
production report this year it revised
it upward to 14.493 million tonnes.
And in this latest report, it increased
it again, by 115,000 tonnes to 14.608
million. It also tweaked the 2010 crop
higher, increasing it 16,000 tonnes to
12.789 million tonnes.
That probably means the carry-in
to 2012-13 was larger than had been
assumed when Agriculture Canada
did its supply, demand and carryout
forecasts.
So while the production estimate
was trimmed, the carry-in is probably
a little larger, which means the
total available canola supply for this
crop year is probably little changed
and therefore has little real impact on
prices.
As for other crops, Statistics Canada
increased its estimate of the spring
wheat, durum, rye, pea and lentil
crops and decreased its estimate of
the barley, oats and flax crops.
The changes had little effect on
markets for the major grains, but the
increases in peas and lentils put
downward pressure on prices, especially
for green lentils and yellow
peas because they accounted for the
increases.
Luckily, growers are in a strong
position with good revenue from
other crops and they can ration sales
so as not to overload the system.

point will carry on.
“I think the ones that are still in the
business are used to these wild fluctuations
in economic cycles and
some are still hanging on by their
fingernails, but they find strategies to
survive.”
Bergmann said it may seem odd
that farmers who have so recently
survived a historical downturn
would consider reinvesting in their
farms, but farmers want to farm for as
long as they can, regardless of profitability.
“All they want to do is make a living,
and they hope to find a way to do
that,” he said.

BSE protein
in Brazilian beef
disrupts trade
TOKYO/BRASILIA (Reuters) —
Japan says it has halted beef imports
from Brazil after the South American
nation notified the World Animal
Health Organization (OIE) of the
discovery of the protein believed to
cause BSE.
Russia said it too was considering
suspending Brazilian beef imports.
Brazilian officials said Dec. 7 the
pasture-fed animal that died in
Parana in December 2010 did not
have BSE.
The official OIE report confirmed
that the animal did not die of BSE
and said it may have had an atypical
case of the disease, meaning one
arising spontaneously from a genetic
mutation that can arise in older
cattle.
The animal was 13 years old and
had been kept for breeding purposes.
Japan imported 1,435 tonnes of
Brazilian beef in 2011, accounting
for 0.3 percent of total beef imports,
Japanese agriculture ministry data
showed.
The OIE has maintained Brazil’s
status as a country with an insignificant
risk of BSE, Brazilian officials
said, adding Brazil would pursue
legal action if necessary against any
importer trying to exploit BSE claims
to block imports of Brazilian beef.

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

supporters do not typically influence

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

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

Contrary to what the 2011 Census

And if you think young people

Yes, the census data continues to
show a decline in the number of farm

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

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

RESPONSIBLE ENERGY BILL
To the Editor:
Bill 2, the Responsible Energy
Development Act, has been introduced
in the Alberta legislature and I
believe this is a very important piece
of legislation for the people of Fort
Saskatchewan-Vegreville.
This bill will create a new single
energy regulator for the province.
This is a common sense, one-window
approach that makes it easier for
Albertans, landowners and industry
to navigate the system.
This is a significant change for our
province. It was based on years of consultation,
which allowed many Albertans
and stakeholders to provide

OPEN FORUM
input into building the legislation.
We heard from Albertans across the
province that the new regulator
needs to be efficient and effective for
landowners. Bill 2 has a number of
important provisions that will help
landowners and in fact improve their
participation compared to the current
system.
The new regulator will be required
to provide Albertans with public
notice about all applications.
Under the current system, some
applications are considered without
notice.
Another significant improvement
for landowners is that every potentially
affected Albertan can submit a
statement of concern to the regulator
if they believe they are directly and

adversely affected.
Based on the extensive consultation
process for this bill, we heard
that landowners can be frustrated
when industry is not living up to its
end of the deal.
The bill allows landowners the
choice to register private surface
agreements, which can then be
enforced by the regulator.
This provides landowners with a
new and enhanced way to protect
their interests.
Finally, I know how important it is
for Albertans to have a strong appeal
mechanism. The new energy regulator
will have independent hearing
commissioners to handle appeals,
plus it will also have an alternative
dispute process.

At its core, Bill 2 is about striking the
balance between energy development,
landowner rights and protecting
the environment. I am confident
we have found that balance.

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

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

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

This is a menacing thought, since
the Canola Council of Canada is a
voluntary organization known to
take government handouts and support

doing nothing to advocate for true
farmer interests.
Let’s remember it was the canola
council that lobbied to give the agrichemical
companies control of the
canola genetics, which farmers and the
Canadian public had paid to develop.
Every time a farmer spends several
hundred dollars a bushel for private

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

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

welcomed the news.
“I think this is very positive and
healthy, and I believe all the issues
have been solved in a very positive
manner and we’re moving forward.”
Unrau said little progress was being
made on JBS’s purchase plan pending
the reopening of U.S. markets to
product from the Brooks plant.

Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn

safe beef from the plant has been
long and difficult.
“Once again, Alberta’s reputation
for high quality, safe food products
has been maintained and the reopening
of our largest trading partner
is very good news for everyone
involved,” said Olson.
Wildrose MLA Jason Hale, who

that he looks forward to a full investi-

The CFIA said in a news release that
it continues “enhanced oversight
activities” at the plant to ensure
implementation of long-term preventive

Unrau said cattle prices are likely to

other processors.
FARMLAND | OWNERSHIP
Sask. appoints
farmland
investigator
BY KAREN BRIERE
REGINA BUREAU
Persistent concerns about who is
buying Saskatchewan farmland have
pushed the province to act.
Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart
said the province has hired a special
investigator to study recent and
future large land deals and trace the
flow of money.
“There are lots of rumours about it,”
Stewart told the Agricultural Producers
Association of Saskatchewan’s
annual meeting. “As far as we know,
all of these people are Canadians and
they’re welcome.”
Canadian citizens, corporations
that aren’t publicly traded and permanent
residents are allowed to buy
as much farmland as they want.
However, non-residents and foreign
corporations are limited to 10 acres.
Exemptions are often made for
companies to establish operations
such as potash mines. The Saskatchewan
Farmland Security Board can
also grant an exemption to allow
people time to establish residence.
However, residents have begun to
ask who their neighbours really are as
investor-owned farms become more
common.
“Does the government have a finger
on the pulse of who is becoming land
owners?” APAS delegate Terry Hildebrandt
asked Stewart. “We don’t
really know where the money is coming
from.”
Some say farmland is selling far
above what it would have a couple of
years ago. It’s good for sellers but not
so good for local buyers who say they
can’t compete with deep investor
pockets.
In particular, Chinese-Canadian
investors have bought large tracts,
including 27 quarters south of Regina,
leading to speculation that the
money is really coming from out of
the country.
Stewart said complaints are already
investigated, but the board’s capacity
to do so is limited.
“So far it hasn’t been found that any
of them have been funded by offshore
money,” he said.
The flow of money is important
because it could reveal true ownership.

FEDERAL BUDGET | APPROVAL
Changes to grain act proceed
Budget goes to Senate | Canadian Grain Commission funding to decline
BY BARRY WILSON
OTTAWA BUREAU
The government’s mammoth budget
bill, with its changes to the Canadian
Grain Commission, was
approved and sent to the Senate in a
raucous House of Commons vote last
week.
Final approval could happen as
early as this week before Parliament
adjourns for a Christmas break that
stretches into late January.
The Senate agriculture committee
already has completed and endorsed
proposed changes to the Canada
Grain Act, and the overall budget bill
of more than 400 pages is expected to
pass quickly in the Conservativedominated
chamber.
The bill sets up the grain industry
for higher user fee charges while ending
traditional mandatory services,
including inward inspection
between prairie elevators and terminals.
Government funding for the grain
commission will decline sharply and
most of its funding will come from
industry service payments.
The system to guarantee grain handler
payments to producers will
switch from the current bonding
system to a mandatory insurance
model.
Chief commissioner Elwin Hermanson
told the Commons agriculture
committee Dec. 5 that the commission
changes are part of an historic
grain sector policy overhaul that
includes ending the CWB single
desk.
“The grain sector is at a pivotal
juncture when public policies and
regulatory structures need to keep
pace with rapid changes in the marketplace,”
he told MPs a day after the
budget vote, which led to swearing
and near fisticuffs on the floor of Parliament.
Western Canadian Wheat Growers
Association chair Gerrid Gust said
that while recognizing the regulatory
victories, the organization now has
its sights set on other changes that are
needed to help industry efficiency.
He told MPs the government
should follow these steps:
• Outlaw strikes and lockouts in the
railway system. “In our view, rail
services should be deemed an
essential service.”
• End union rules at the Port of Vancouver
that stop workers from
loading grain if it rains more than
five millimetres in a day. It is considered
a safety hazard and delays
loading of waiting ships. “We
understand that ships load grain in
the rain in Portland, Oregon, and
around the world,” Gust said.
“There is no need for Canadian
farmers to be put at a competitive
disadvantage.”
• Introduce tough legislation,
expected this week, to force railways
to meet service standards for
shippers.
Meanwhile, Hermanson warned
against arguments from some
lobby groups that outward inspection
at terminals sending grain to
export should also be made voluntary.
Unlike inward inspection, outward
inspection helps guarantee customers
of the quality and identity of the
grain they are buying, he said.
Outward inspection fees charged to
the industry must increase as part of
cost recovery, he added, but that is
not a reason to make them voluntary
at industry discretion.
Several prairie grain groups that
support deregulation said industry
should have a choice about whether
they want the service.
Hermanson said mandatory outward
inspection was cancelled in the
United States in the 1970s, “and they
had a wreck.” Mandatory U.S. outward
inspection was reinstated.
NEWS THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13, 2012
“We just have to be very cautious
that we don’t tamper with what has
given us our Canada brand at the current
time,” he told MPs.
He said the commission is now sifting
through the results of consultations
on the proposed new fee structure,
which will be implemented
Aug. 1. The new rules will be
announced soon.
Many interveners said the government
proposal to cover only $5 million
of the commission budget as a
public good should be sharply
increased to lower industry costs.

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

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

The ratio, which shows operating
expenses as a percentage of revenue,
is a key indicator in the rail industry:
the lower the number, the better. CP’s
ratio in the third quarter was the
highest among North America’s six
biggest railways.
Harrison said the pace of the
change may be faster than predicted
for the first 18 months, but will then
“settle in.”
He said the company has closed
hump yards, which are used to sort
rail cars, in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary
and Chicago since he took the
helm. That will save $40 to $50 million
in direct costs, with “much more”
in indirect savings, he added.

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

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

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

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

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

time on their three sons: Duane, 2,
and five-month-old twins Bradley
and Devin.
The couple joke that they have good
hired hands in the making, but it’s too
soon to know for sure.
“We hope that our kids are going to
be active in the industry too,” says
Jake. “We have our whole lives ahead
of us.”
Adds Tanya: “We’ll have to have a
large ranch just to keep them occupied.”
The couple have been married for
three years. Jake grew up in nearby
Montana and always had plans to
own his own ranch.
He got work in the oil industry,
earning roles of increasing responsibility
until he finally became the
youngest manager his company had
ever had, at the age of 22.
He was running an oil rig in Argentina,
but his dream of having a ranch,
a wife and a family remained strong.
“Things were very stressful down
there,” he recalls. “I didn’t want that
lifestyle.”

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

The Kieper family Christmas dinner
dessert was Christmas pudding
with “yummy” sauce.
When I was a little kid we went to
Great Grandma’s for dinner and after
tasting the pudding asked for “just
sauce” and I got it!
After Great Grandma moved to the
care home we went to Grandma
Kieper’s and though she made the
traditional pudding and sauce, she
asked the grandchildren what their
favourite dessert would be. With no hesitation we all said butterscotch
pie, so she spoiled the
grandchildren and made her delicious
pie and her wonderful pudding.
Then we started to go to my mom’s

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

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

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

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

Then the older boys carry it to the

we head into the house to warm up.
We are greeted at the door by the
smell of Grandma’s soup, buns and

lunch, we share stories about another
successful family tree hunt.
This tradition has brought our family
together every year. No matter

go to the farm and hunt for a tree.
CHRISTMAS TRADITION | WOMEN’S GET-TOGETHER
Christmas gathering honours families
This festive occasion brings together
many Welch relatives. They meet
to keep the spirit of our family strong.
The highlight of the party is to share
good food and kick off the Christmas
season.
The hostess varies from throughout
central Saskatchewan. Each year, the
hostess chooses a charity. Instead of
gifts, we donate to a favorite cause.
Our donations have honoured
Welch women we have lost and
other charities that our now dear to
our hearts from food banks and Parkinson’s
disease to cancer and brain
injury organizations.
Christmas is about family and this
party reminds us of the value of the
season. Those of us who have lost our
mothers and sisters come to feel a
connection and want to honour to
our loved ones.
We have had traditions emerge
over the years. The hostess receives a
huge bag of cabbage rolls, a much
sought after family favourite. This
encourages some women to want to
host to receive Carole’s cabbage rolls
or Aunt Ruth’s cake donuts or Aunt
Pat’s tarts, which were really Aunt
Lily’s recipe.
This year, the party was held in
Prince Albert at my cousin Lorie’s.

PASTIMES | COLLECTING
BY CHRISTALEE FROESE
FREELANCE WRITER
OXBOW, Sask. — Michael Bartolf is
a walking, breathing historical
library. He has shelves, countertops,
tables and rooms stacked with books,
magazines, newspaper clippings and
self-made indexes to many of his collections.
If you ask him about the history of
Saskatchewan, he has more than 300
community history books to grab.
Bartolf also has an index documenting
every post office opening
and closing date in the province, as
well as the land descriptions.
For example, one entry for White
Bear states that the opening date was
1911-02-11 with the land description
being 18-22-16W3.
In addition, the 84-year-old-retired
Saskatchewan farmer has created
numerous indexes from The Globe
and Mail, The New York Times, The
Western Producer, National Geographic
and a number of local newspapers.
These indexes track all references
to anyone who ever came from
Oxbow and area, with entries that
include the publication, date, edition
and page number for listings such as
obituaries and feature stories.
“I read about four or five newspapers
every week and I watch for anything
that is historical. The people
can be a day old or 105 years old, as
long as they have roots back here in
Oxbow, I’ll index it,” said Bartolf.
Collecting historical information
consumes most of his day. Awake by
6 a.m., he heads to his computer to
begin collecting information about
his community. At midnight, he is
often found in the same corner spot.
“Sometimes you’d think he was
married to that computer,” said
Michael’s wife, Ruth.
Otto Neuman, chair of Oxbow’s
Ralph Allen Memorial Railway
Museum, said the Bartolfs have
made an invaluable contribution to
the community both as volunteers
and as historical document keepers.
“He has spent hours and hours
keeping records for the museum and
he does a lot of that work at home,”
said Neuman.
“I don’t know how else to describe
his work but to say it’s priceless.
Where else would you get that kind of
information?”
The most rewarding part for Bartolf
is when he can connect visitors with
their past. His most memorable visitor
was a woman from Baltimore,
Maryland, who travelled to Oxbow
two years ago to trace her roots.
With help from Bartolf, the woman
spent two weeks in the area, eventually
finding information about her
grandfather, the mayor of Oxbow at
the turn of the century.
He was able to find the homestead
of the family as well as information
about her uncle, a Second World War
veteran who was killed in a runaway
horse accident involving a binder.
“It’s all in the paper, you just have to
open it up,” said Bartolf, who also
tracked another uncle of the Balti-
more woman.
This uncle was a stonemason, and
Bartolf was able to take her to one of
four buildings in Oxbow he constructed.
One of Bartolf’s most prized possessions
is a 100-year-old copy of
the Oxbow Herald, which he keeps
in a plastic covering in a manila
envelope.
“I drink very little, I hunt somewhat
and I don’t go coffeeing. I keep history
books,” said Bartolf about his
hobby.

mating activities with those precious
two hours per year when the female
will accept him.
Given those restrictions, why do
ground squirrels, commonly but
incorrectly called gophers, seem so
plentiful?
Gail Michener, professor emeritus
at the University of Lethbridge who
has made a career out of studying
Richardson’s ground squirrels, told
a Nov. 30 lecture that the mobility of
males and the ability of females to
mate with multiple males is part of
the reason for ground squirrel
numbers.
Ground squirrels have only one lit-
ter per female per year of six to eight
offspring per litter.
Even so, there may not be as many
of the rodents as farmers seem to
think, depending on conditions.
“The big problems have happened
in recent years where we’ve had
these drought years,” Michener said
in an interview after her lecture.
“Two things happen under drought
conditions, one of which is the crops
don’t do very well,” she said.
“Ground squirrels of course
evolved here on the Prairies so they

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

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

Suzuki said at the book-signing

“It takes six to eight calories of oil to

his finger towards a reporter’s voice

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

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

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

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

Lawsuit on grain
settlement proceeds
SINGAPORE (Reuters) — The
CME Group, the biggest operator
of U.S. futures exchanges, has no
plans to shut open-outcry trading
pits, but will not change new price
settlement rules for grains despite a
lawsuit by a group of traders.
“Their lawsuit has zero merit,”
Phupinder Gill, chief executive officer
of CME, said.
Gill said the company expected
the recent ruling by a Chicago judge
allowing the grain traders to go
ahead with a lawsuit to overturn the
CME’s new end-of-day settlement
rules that they say are killing business
in the trading pits. The CME
has no plans to withdraw the new
settlement rules that include transactions
done electronically, where
the bulk of the volume comes from.
Prior to the change, CME had a
century-old tradition of settling
futures prices for crops like corn
and soybeans based on transactions
executed in the pits.
Gill said there are no plans to
close floor trading as long as liquidity
exists.
LAND VALUES
Brazil land values soar
SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) —
Prices for farmland in Brazil surged
by an average 14 percent a year to
nearly quadruple during the past
decade, well outpacing inflation and
nearly matching gains made by Sao
Paulo’s blue-chip stock index, a new
study shows.
Improving diets in economies
such as China have driven up prices
of commodities like soybeans, corn
and animal proteins, which in turn
have led investment and pension
funds to buy Brazilian farmland.
This has steadily pushed up the
prices of and investment returns
from Brazil’s productive tropical
farmland, according to research
from Sao Paulo-based consultancy
Informa Economics FNP.
Between January 2002 and
December 2011, farmland appreciated
278 percent on average in
Brazil, while cumulative inflation in
that period was about 88 percent.
High grain prices have induced
farmers and investors to expand
into frontier areas where land is
cheaper due to the lack of transport
infrastructure.
FARMLAND INVESTMENT
Stopping expropriation
BEIJING, China (Reuters) —
China’s cabinet has vowed to
tighten laws on the expropriation
of farmland, warning that the problem
risked fuelling rural unrest and
undermining the country’s food
security.
“Rural land has been expropriated
too much and too fast as industrialization
and urbanization accelerate,”
state news agency Xinhua
reported, summing up a meeting of
the state council.
More reforms need to be put in
place and a better legal system set
up to resolve the problems, including
stricter regulations on farmland
expropriation, Xinhua said.
While the comments on land
seizures do not break new policy
ground, they do underscore government
jitters about rural discontent
as president Hu Jintao prepares to
hand over the running of the country

Farmers in China do not own most
of their fields. Instead, most rural
land is owned by villages, and farmers
get leases that last for decades.
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
Iran faces food crisis
LONDON/DUBAI (Reuters) —
Iran’s food distribution system
is in crisis even though western
sanctions do not directly target the
market, badly hurting the poor and
turning some staples into luxuries.
Private importers are shrinking
away from deals made risky by
turmoil in the rial currency, and
many foreign banks are reluctant to
finance even items that are exempt
from the sanctions for fear of drawing
fire for doing business with Iran.
The result is that the Iranian state
is under growing pressure to import
and allocate more goods as it tries to
avoid social unrest due to shortages
and soaring prices.
WHEAT MARKETS
Western wheat in demand
HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) —
Wheat exports from western nations
should be boosted as supplies from
Russia and the Black Sea region run
out, traders say.
Canadian, American, European
and Australian wheat is expected
to compete for key Middle Eastern
markets, while niche producers
Romania and Bulgaria are also likely
to soon sell their remaining supplies.
“We are likely to see the last gasp
of sales from Russia and Ukraine in
the next few weeks and then more
demand will be switched to the West
EU, especially France, and the United
States,” a European trader said.
Wheat export powerhouses Russia
and Ukraine both suffered enormous
crop damage this summer.
Russia may import grains, while
Ukraine has voluntary export limits.
Argentina, meanwhile, has harvest
problems related to flooding.

The family-owned company sued
interior secretary Ken Salazar, saying
he based his decision to close
the operation on a faulty environmental

The oyster farm and surrounding

Salazar said he would renew leases

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | INTERNATIONAL BUYERS

Foreign cattle producers look to Canada for genetics
Erling Gresseth of Veistad Charolais in Hegra, Norway, bought 70 embryos and a two-thirds share of a bull for semen
production during the Western Canadian Agribition in Regina. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO
REGINA — Erling Gresseth makes
the trip to Canadian Western Agribition
in Regina because he can
count on the show delivering profitable
results for his purebred cattle
business in Norway.
Gresseth bought 70 Charolais embryos
at this year’s show as well as an
interest in semen rights from a bull
owned by Bryan Hicks of Arthur, Ont.
He will also be taking back 20 to 30
embryos for producers in Sweden.
“I need to be able to place a lot of
trust in the people I buy from (when)
overseas. My business depends on it,”
The smile says everything.
InVigor ® growers are just like any other grower. They
believe in community, they love their families, and they
work hard to ensure there’s food on everyone’s table.
The big difference is how InVigor growers feel about
their crop. But since they have trouble putting it into
words, you’ll have to take it at face value.
Nothing outperforms InVigor.

said the purebred breeder from
Hegra, Norway.
Gresseth has been buying Canadian
Charolais genetics since 2007 but
said he wouldn’t do it if he didn’t
have a personal relationship with
producers here.
“I need to see the herd and get a
sense of it, and know the people I am
dealing with. I won’t make any profit
on the genetics I buy here for four or
five years. I put a lot of trust in these
people and in their cattle.”
Häkon Kvaeken of Löten, Norway,
was also at the Regina show, one of
700 to 800 foreign visitors from 60
countries. He said the need for polled
genetics is prompting buyers from
Europe to look to Canada rather than
to the home of the breed.
“The French cattle don’t really have
the polled (genes),” he said.
“We can’t rely on it, and we don’t
want to be dealing with horns.”
Gresseth bought a purebred bull in
the United States last year and found
it was easier to bring the semen to
Canada to fertilize eggs before shipping
them to Norway.
“I rely on the help of cattle marketing
people like Helga and Candace
(By) from Regina to make sure what I
buy gets to Norway without any
issues,” he said.
“Canadian breeders are very experienced
at exporting. It might be a
bigger part of their business than in
some other places in the world.”
Gresseth said his customers are
looking for polled genetics and
smaller, thriftier animals that are
feed efficient.
“Our feed costs are way high, and the
cattle need to be good in the trees, in
rough country. We have a long days on
grass in the summer. Winter can be
very hard,” he said about his location,
half way up the Norwegian coast.
Kvaeken said many of the non-traditionally
coloured cattle won’t make
the breed standard in Europe, so dark
Charolais or black Limousin found in
North American herds aren’t on the
Scandinavians’ order books.
He also said many of the North
American breeds have come to look
alike. North American cattle have
been bred to what appears to be a
single standard, he said.
“We like them, but they don’t have a
lot of difference between them,
except the colour.”
Gresseth said the shorter stature
and more muscular hip in the Canadian
continental breeds meet his
customers’ breeding needs. However,
he has tended toward a more traditional
Charolais shaped animal for
his Canadian imports.
“(Hicks) kept the deep body, with
the larger muscle that buyers look for.
That is traditional Charolais,” he said.
Hicks said he is proud that his
Charolais genetics are being used in
Europe.
“It would be easier for them to get
(traditional) French animals, but
many European buyers want what
we have to offer instead,” he said,
during the Nov. 19-24 event.
Gresseth said producers in northern
Europe are doing well financially,
despite small farm sizes.
“Meat is very highly priced. The
(governmental support) system
ensures they make a living and deliver
food at a profit. So very good farmers
do very well. And they invest in
their herds’ (genetics),” he said.
“They buy Canada’s reputation, too.”

HOGS | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
Supply managed hog
NEWS
sector idea thrown out BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH
BY MARY MACARTHUR
CAMROSE BUREAU
LEDUC, Alta. — Alberta Pork members
have rejected a resolution asking
the organization to investigate
the possibility of making pork a supply
managed industry.
Ciaran Ormond, who argued in
favour of the resolution, said rising
feed costs and roller-coaster prices
have made hog production
unsustainable, and producers and
government need to take another
look at supply management.
“We need a new and fresh examination
of supply management,”
Ormond said.
Pork producer Rocky Morrell
agreed, saying producers couldn’t
reject the idea of supply management
with the survival of their industry
at stake.
“This is the only answer to give any
credence to our survivability,” he
said. “With supply management, we
finally got consumers to help us out.
They pay for eggs, poultry and don’t
even question it. At the end of the day
the consumer, through the retailer,
has to sustain the industry or make
the decision we don’t want this
industry,” he said.
“Unless massive changes are
made to the industry, it’s a race to
the bottom.… We have got to try
something like this. I don’t see anything
else.”
However, producer Ben Wooley
said supply management would
result in tariffs on exported pork and
put half the producers in the room
out of business.
“The whole idea of building pig
farms on the Prairies and valueadded
agriculture is all because of
the amount of grain we produce. The
premise is still right. We need to be
adding value to what we feed.”

“These farms are going down,” he
said.

Randy Strychar needed a gimmick
to lure more young veterinarians to

It was summer and he was preparing

response. Somebody suggested getting
Roy Rogers’ stuffed dead horse.
The association sponsors a U.S.
television program hosted by Julie
Goodnight, who Strychar describes
as the Martha Stewart of the equine
television market.
Goodnight works for RFD-TV, a
rural television network that bought
Trigger’s stuffed hide at an auction in
2010 for $266,500.
“We had her approach RDF with
the (proposal) to get the horse. So
sure enough, we did manage to get
Trigger in the booth and they threw
Bullet (Rogers’ dog) in there,”
RANDY STRYCHAR
OAT INDUSTRY EXPERT
Strychar said during a Dec. 6 presentation
at POGA’s annual convention.
Strychar, an oat industry guru and
president of Ag Commodity Re-
Excellent solution for control of kochia and

search, said the booth attracted 500
visitors, up from 150 the previous
year.
“It was the buzz of the convention,”
he said.
It’s an example of the kind of publicity
the industry hopes to generate
with its proposed three-year $3.7
million promotional campaign
aimed at rebuilding oat acres to their
former glory by encouraging horse
owners to demand the product.
“This is the future of the oat market,”
Strychar said.

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

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

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

Department of Animal and Poultry Science.
“You often hear people say they would never be able to survive
Saskatchewan winters in the wild. But they are doing very, very well in this

In this case, ‘very well’ is very bad. Just ask a farmer or naturalist in

“Feral wild boars are a massive problem in Texas, California, and many
other states,” says Brook. “In Texas alone, the damage to agricultural
crops is $50 million a year. That doesn’t count the $7 million they spend
trying to control their numbers or the ecological damage. They’re a

in the 1970s and 1980s when the fi rst commercial domesticated wild
boar farms were set up. Escapees had no problem adapting to their new
northern home.
“In the last fi ve years, there have been sightings across the province
from Prince Albert and the tree line in the north all the way to the U.S.
border. But we don’t really have a handle on how many there are.”
There’s a good reason for that. Despite their size and the damage they
can cause – one farmer next to Moose Mountain park lost 15 acres of
oats to wild boars in just two days – these highly intelligent animals are
amazing elusive. They are most active in the evening and early morning,
and use their keen sense of smell to both search for food and avoid any
humans.
Brook has obtained some funding from the Cyril Capling Trust Fund,
NSERC, and the University of Saskatchewan for a limited investigation to
see how many wild boars are in Saskatchewan. Cameras were set up in 17
locations around the province this spring, and while the research provides
insights in boar populations and behaviour at these sites, it truly is just a
snapshot of what’s going on.
“The key thing is getting the right people at the table and launching
a coordinated effort between many groups,” he says. “You also need
the will to do something. When you’re dealing with an animal that
reproduces at this rate, a go-slow approach is not going to have any
benefi t.”
“When you look at the crop losses, disease potential, the environmental
damage, and the rest, this critter could conceivably become the biggest
species of concern in our province.”

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

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

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

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

he said. “There was always some
trimming. Now they pretty much all
get trimmed twice a year. But I don’t
do too many of them anymore.”
Kneeland has taken on a couple of
younger trimmers, who now have
their own businesses, handling the
dairy industry as well as the purebred
work that Kneeland is slowly giving
up while he and wife Noreen pull
back to enjoy more leisure and community
time.

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

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

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

THE WORLD IN BRIEF
SHIPPING EFFICIENCIES
Brazil launches $26B
port investment program
BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazil’s
government has launched a $26
billion port investment program to
reduce the high costs and notorious
delays in shipping goods in and out
of the major commodities exporter.
The plan to modernize port infrastructure
announced by president
Dilma Rousseff seeks to increase
investment in Brazil’s ports through
partnership with private companies.
The bidding process that will open
next year will favour tenders that
offer the lowest tariffs for handling
the greatest volume of cargo, moving
away from a prior model of
granting concessions to the highest
bidder.
“Our objective is the greatest movement
of cargo possible at the lowest
possible cost,” Rousseff said.
“We want to increase the efficiency
of Brazilian ports with this partnership,
which will make our exports
more competitive and increase
production,” she said. “We want an
explosion of investment through
this partnership with the private
sector.”
The bulk of the investment would
be made between 2014 and 2017,
ports minister Leonidas Cristino
said.
The ports slated for modernization
include Santos, which is Latin
America’s largest port by value of
goods moved, Rio de Janeiro, Paranagua,
Porto Alegre, Espiritu Santo,
Itaqui, Pecem and Suape.
WORLD FOOD PRICES
Farm investments must
rise to beat hunger: UN
ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Investment
in agriculture must increase
substantially to reduce hunger in a
world struggling with high and volatile
food prices, the United Nations
food agency said.
About 870 million people, or one
in eight of the world’s population
are chronically undernourished,
the UN said this year. Eradicating
extreme hunger is among the UN
Millennium Development Goals to
tackle global poverty.
Governments can spur farmer
investments by ensuring property
rights are respected, improving
rural infrastructure and encouraging
the formation of producer cooperatives,
the Rome-based Food
and Agriculture Organization said.
“Farmers must be central to any
strategy for increasing investment
in the sector,” FAO said, adding
on-farm investment, or spending by
farmers, is more than three times as
large as all other sources of investment
combined, including foreign
and government contributions.
In The State of Food and Agriculture
2012 report, FAO warned levels
of private and public investment per
worker in agriculture are stagnant
or falling in regions where rural poverty
and hunger are most severe.
Poor governance, high levels of
corruption and high taxation of agriculture
are among the many hurdles
that reduce incentives for farmers to
invest in the sector.
FAO also said that large scale
investments offer opportunities for
employment and technology transfer
but governments and companies
must ensure local people benefit
and that land transfers are conducted
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
FLOOD IRRIGATION PROJECTS | PRODUCER TAKEOVERS
Irrigation project proposal in limbo
No word from Ottawa | Farmers have not received answers to questions on finances or operations
STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE
REGINA BUREAU
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Southwestern
Saskatchewan farmers who will
take over federal irrigation works by
2017 hope to know in January if their
financial terms have been accepted.
Darren Steinley, a member of the
producer negotiation committee
representing the six flood irrigation
projects, said the producers submitted
a proposal to Agriculture
Canada in May but still haven’t heard
back.
He declined to say how much the
producers want to help them maintain
and operate the projects.
“They indicated they were willing
to invest to divest, which means they
were willing to give the producers
some money to carry on with the
projects,” Steinley said of the federal
government.
Ottawa said in 2007 it wanted users
to take over the projects. If not, they
would be decommissioned. It also
said it would eventually sell its 33
dams and water control structures in
the province.

A series of educational videos will
soon be available online for beef producers.
The Beef Cattle Research Council
has worked with the internet-based
news service RealAgriculture to
We’re pretty confident as
producers that we can take the
projects over and we can run
them, and we can probably
run them more efficiently and
effectively than governments in
the past have run them.

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

Consultant looks at valueadded
opportunities in
Saskatchewan vegetable
acre expansion
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A study is
underway to determine if Saskatche–
wan is a good candidate for high volume
vegetable production.
The study, which is led by the Saskatchewan
Irrigation Projects Association,
will look at whether the
province could supply more of its
own produce and whether there is
potential to supply others, said
Judie Dyck, a Saskatoon-based
consultant.
She told the SIPA annual conference
Dec. 4 that the study will determine
how much land is available for
vegetable production under irrigation,
what type of crop rotation
would be necessary and the role of
Regina’s Global Transportation Hub
(GTH) in transporting produce.
Loblaw Co.’s western distribution
centre, which ships produce throughout
Western Canada, was the first
tenant at the GTH.
Dyck said Loblaw has indicated a
willingness to work with local growers,
and discussions have centred on
prioritizing three to five crops.
Saskatchewan irrigators already
grow 8,500 acres of potatoes a year,
half for the table market and half for
seed.
Pumpkins, green beans, beets,
onions and corn are grown on another
500 acres. As well, Hutterite colonies
and market gardeners, mostly in
the Lumsden-Craven area and near
Saskatoon, sell from the farmgate.
“We’re only producing 10 percent
of what we consume, so we have an
opportunity to provide at least what
Saskatchewan needs,” Dyck told the
conference.
Statistics Canada has said fresh
vegetable consumption is increasing
to 165 pounds per person per year.
Many people prefer to buy local but
can’t if production isn’t sufficient.
Dyck also said there are value added
opportunities that the Prairies
could capitalize on, such as canned
borscht.
“We have the land base and the
water,” she said.
“We need the skills, the people that
want to get into the marketplace.”
The study’s report is to be complete
by December 2013.

Funding for the project came from

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

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

Economist advises against slaughter plant
Analyzing costs | Low margins in slaughter plants make business difficult for new and small players
BY BARRY WILSON
OTTAWA BUREAU
Prairie grain farmers are having a
good year, but that should not be
attributed to the end of the CWB
monopoly, says National Farmers
Union president Terry Boehm.
He also argued during a video
appearance before the House of
Commons agriculture committee
Dec. 6 that government changes to
agricultural regulations and rules are
turning the clock back to an era when
farmers were at the mercy of market
forces and powerful monopolies.
During the past century, farmers
have lobbied for and won the right to
have a greater say in the government
Low margins force beef slaughter plants to run at full capacity. | FILE PHOTO
Although cost is a significant factor,
Koontz said another argument
against building a beef slaughter
plant in North America is that existing
facilities aren’t operating at full
capacity.
Based on data from his 2007 study,
Koontz said the industry had approximately
25 percent excess capacity.
A few plants have closed over the
last five years, but the North American
cattle herd has also contracted.
Therefore, Koontz said excess capacity
may no longer be 25 percent, but
it’s at least 15 percent.
The plant in Winnipeg is planning
to sell its beef into the kosher and
halal market, which should partially
compensate for increased killing
costs.
In a study published this year in
Agricultural and Resource Economics
Review, Lee Schulz of Iowa State University
found that steaks with a religious
claim earn a market premium
THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | DECEMBER 13 , 2012
of $1.18 per lb. compared to steaks
that aren’t kosher or halal.
The premium is helpful, but Schulz
determined it’s relatively small compared
to organic beef, which garners
a premium of $2.98 per lb.
Koontz said cost per kill ultimately
determines if a plant succeeds or not.
“It’s really hard to get enough premiums
to offset a higher cost plant,”
he said.
“The theory of premiums is great.
But … what market is not being satisfied
now that you’re going to satisfy?
Or whose market are you going to
take away from them?”
Cargill already produces certified
halal beef at its Dunlop plant in
Guelph, Ont., which processes 1,500
head per day.
The Islamic Food and Nutrition
Council of America certifies the beef
from the Guelph plant, which is much
closer to the major Canadian markets
for halal beef than Winnipeg.

High grain prices not linked to end of CWB monopoly, says NFU president
Maintaining stance | National Farmers Union president Terry Boehm contends costs for producers will rise
regulatory and co-operative grain
system, the Saskatchewan farmer told
MPs during the first NFU appearance
before the committee in months.
“We’re systematically dismantling
that collaborative system under the
guise of buzzwords like modernization,
rationalization, an assortment of
pieces along that line and really recreating
an adversarial system where
farmers fundamentally end up paying
for all the costs in the system, as they
always have,” said Boehm.
After weeks of testimony about how
this year, with its record grain and
oilseed prices, has been a good one
for prairie farmers, Conservative
MPs pressed Boehm on how farmers
are doing in the aftermath of the
CWB monopoly.
The Conservatives pressed for and
eventually won the battle over ending
the CWB monopoly, but the NFU
was one of the strongest defenders of
the single desk.
Peace River Conservative MP Bob
Zimmer said his farmer constituents
have seen positives in the market since
the end of the CWB monopoly Aug. 1.
Are NFU farmer members better off
this year than last year?
“The prices are not determined
entirely by single desk or no single
desk or voluntary or otherwise,” said
Boehm. “We have droughts that have
created relatively buoyant prices, so
for the moment farmers are getting
high prices, but you can’t attribute
that to marketing freedom or a voluntary
board.”
Zimmer responded: “It’s been a
good start, I must say.”
On Dec. 4, Western Barley Growers
Association director and past president
Brian Otto told MPs on the committee
it was more than a good start.
He said deliveries are at a decade
high level, elevators are moving crop
quickly and railways and export terminals
are turning deliveries around
quickly.
“This is how a commercial marketplace
should work and certainly creates
an atmosphere that will attract
investment into our industry.”

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

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

WAHPETON, N.D. — There’s good
news for farmers who shook their
heads when the Concord air drill was
pulled from the market.
The Sunflower 9700 Air Till Drill,
which will be available for the 2013
seeding season, is a Concord drill
with serious upgrades, said Mark
Wyrick, global product manager for
the Agco-Amity joint venture.
“When we were at Farm Progress in
Regina last year, a lot of farmers were

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

said Wyrick. “This was a good move
for all parties. Agco gets a new line of
seeding equipment, which they
needed, and Amity gains access to
new markets.”

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

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

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

Airguard’s spiral design plays a
major role in how it works.

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

dry areas,” said Wyrick.
The machine is effective in high
residue conditions, he added.
“We sell a lot of them in western
North Dakota and up around Regina

“Without changing anything, the
drill works equally well in no-till,

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

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

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

Regina OKs
building fund
for Agribition
BY KAREN BRIERE
REGINA BUREAU
Ten days after the leaky roofs in the
Regina buildings used for Canadian
Western Agribition drew headlines, a
city committee has allocated money
for repairs and to develop a longterm
plan.
The finance and administration
committee Dec. 4 recommended
that $100,000 from the city’s Community
Investment Fund money be
used to fix aging infrastructure. The
Canada Centre roof will be among
the first to be fixed.
Another $100,000 from the same
fund will be spent on a study of Agribition’s
impact and a plan to ensure it
remains sustainable.
“Due to the fact that this event is one
of the most significant annual events
in Regina in terms of economic
impact, and the fact that the city owns
the facilities which host the event,
there is a need to develop a new partnership
model that addresses today’s
facility issues and that ensures the
long-term sustainability of the event,”
said a committee document.
Previous estimates suggest
Agribition pumps $27 million into
the local economy during its six-day
show each year.
Attendance last year was 126,000.
Agribition chief executive officer
Marty Seymour said the study, to be
led by the Regina Regional Opportunities
Commission, is the “real win.”
Agribition is only a renter for three
weeks of the year, he noted, and new
buildings must be multi-purpose to
earn income from many types of
events. The study will look at operating
and capital requirements.
Seymour said he hopes it can be
complete within six months.
He said the $100,000 for immediate
repairs will hardly make a dint in the
work that needs to be done, but it will
take some pressure off.
The city already supports
Agribition through an annual grant
of $45,000.
The Regina Hotel Association,
which already contributes financially
to Agribition, will also provide
$15,000 for the study.

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

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

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

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

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

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

FUNDING | RESEARCH
ABP calls for funding changes
Alberta Beef Producers | Group wants return of non-refundable checkoff
BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH
CALGARY BUREAU
Alberta Beef Producers want to
reinstate the non-refundable $3
checkoff.
The organization collects $3 per
head sold in the province and sets
aside $1 for Canada Beef Inc. and the
Beef Cattle Research Council. That
portion is not refunded.
Provincial legislation passed two
years ago requires that all levies collected
on agriculture products be
refundable upon request.
ABP consequently saw its once
hefty budget reduced to $5 million
per year.
Delegates passed a resolution to
return to a non-refundable levy during
the ABP Dec. 3-5 annual meeting
in Calgary.
“We believe this needs to go to a
vote to the producers. It needs to be
put into their hands,” ABP chair Doug
Sawyer said in an interview.
“We are certainly hearing from producers
more and more that they want
it back. We’ll have to look at the right
time.”
He said producers should see the
money as an investment in beef marketing
programs, promotions, education,
research and trade advocacy
through the Canadian Cattlemen’s
Association.
The financial pinch has been
noticeable.
ABP collected about $10 million
last year and more than $2 million
was rebated to more than 600 producers.
Most of the refunds went to a
few large feedlots.
“We need to have some money
going forward that we know is there,
if we want to continue these research
projects at a reasonable level,” said
Greg Bowie of Ponoka, newly elected
vice-chair.
Some producers at the meeting
suggested the refundable portion
should be left alone so the industry
can continue to co-operate with the
Alberta Cattle Feeders Association
and Western Stock Growers Association,
which want choice.
They also argued that the refundable
checkoff has made ABP more
efficient and cost-conscious.
However, others said secure funding
is needed for a united industry.
“This is a debate we need to have.
There has been pain, but there have
Trait Stewardship Responsibilities
Notice to Farmers
been some gains,” said Cecilie Fleming
of Granum.
Others argued the money is needed
to properly represent producers
at the provincial and national levels.
“We cannot represent the producers
if we do not have the funding. We
cannot have all the committees and
all the councils we have if we do not
have the funding,” said Gordon
Graves of Iron River.
“It is imperative for the survival of
this industry that we have a united,
democratic voice and this is the organization.”
Lorrie Jespersen, who represents
Alberta Milk, said the change has left
some organizations cash strapped,
and delegates end up paying out of
their own pockets to support the
association.
“It was a ploy by the government of
the day to divide and conquer so
they could control agriculture in the
way they want. It is not giving agriculture
the true voice that it needs,”
he said.
Alberta is Canada’s largest beef
producing province, and has had a
strong voice on the national scene. It
also paid a large share of the bills,
said Rob Somerville of Endiang.
“In past years, when we had a countervail,
it was ABP that carried the
ball financially for the rest of the
country,” he said.
“If we had to do that again, I think
we would be challenged. We need
secure funding and a non-refundable
checkoff so we can defend our
industry against trade challenges
and to maintain our access to foreign
markets.”
ABP’s financial report said the last
anti-dumping investigation in which
the Canadian cattle industry was
involved cost $4.5 million. Alberta
contributed half the money.

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

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

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

U.S. farm bill may
see cut in budget
U.S. lawmakers are battling out disputes
over a new farm bill.
Cuts in crop subsidies and reductions
in food stamps are major stumbling
points. Farm spending cuts of
$23 billion to $35 billion have been
floated.
A new farm bill would now likely be
absorbed into an overall budgetcutting
designed to avert the looming
“fiscal cliff.”

MANAGING THE FARM
ANDREW RAPHAEL
Farmers are often advised to
add value to the livestock and
crops they produce, which can
mean looking at value-added food
processing.
It can be a profitable strategic move,
but many issues must be considered
when producing prepared food. As
we’ve seen with XL Foods, food safety
is one of the most critical.
However, all the costs related to
small-scale food processing mean
investing in food safety can be a challenge,
particularly when the money
could be used to adhere to new
changes in federal packaging regulations,
improve efficiencies, strengthen
sales margins and increase market
share.
Food safety should always be a priority.
It’s the right thing to do. However,
the reality is that consumers are
often not aware of this investment
and therefore it’s not always top of
mind for food processors that may
have many competing challenges
requiring investment of scarce
resources.
The federal government has established
programs under the Canadian
Integrated Food Safety Initiative to
help national organizations.
However, these programs do not
directly help processors buy the
equipment they need, train staff or
get certified against customer
requirements.
Provincial programs vary greatly
across the country in terms of scope
and eligibility criteria. They are also

Government and businesses need
to work more closely to enact practical
food safety regulatory oversight
matched by industry investment in
the infrastructure, equipment and
technology required to meet the rising
expectations of customers, regulators
and consumers.
Implementing a time-limited federal
food safety tax credit would provide
a simple, uniform, national
financial incentive for food processors
of all sizes, in all commodity
sectors and in all regions.
A food safety tax credit could
adopt the best aspects of the current
Scientific Research and Experimental

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

CWB SHIPS CANOLA OVERSEAS
WINNIPEG (Reuters) — CWB said
it has made its first overseas shipment
of canola, marking its first
diversification into crops outside of
wheat and barley.
CWB dispatched 42,000 tonnes of
canola to Japanese customers via
Prince Rupert, B.C.
It said it bought the canola from
grain companies and farmers on the
cash market, as well as through its
pooling program for farmers.
could be carried back for three years
and forward for up to 20 years.
Tax credits are an effective way to
influence the economic choices of
businesses and individuals in support
of government policy objectives.
Tax credits reduce the cost of
investment without limiting the
choice of technology or services.
It also applies regardless of which
jurisdiction has regulatory responsibility
for the plant and doesn’t have
the limiting and bureaucratic features
of grant programs.
The cost in foregone taxes is difficult
to determine because the program
will be demand driven.
However, using the costs of the
SR&ED program as a guide, 2004
government data shows that 19,600
corporations took advantage of
SR&ED tax credits at a total cost of
$3.4 billion. This suggests an average
cost of $170,000 for each participating
firm.
Based on this, the annual cost
would be $170 million if 2,000 firms
took advantage of the program and
received 50 percent of the average
SR&ED benefit.
This proposed food safety initiative
could also help reduce government’s
health care costs associated with
food-borne illnesses while assisting
the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency to streamline its operations.
Inspection will succeed only if
matched by more investment by
industry to prevent problems rather
than react to them after the fact.
Canadian food processors of all
sizes are under enormous financial
pressure, urgently trying to comply
with government regulations and

reduce operating costs to survive in
the short-term while modernizing
and scaling up operations to grow
over the long term.
At this time, a food safety tax credit
would provide a simple, uniform
incentive to help companies keep
food safety a high priority as critical
business decisions are made.
Trust is like a mirror. Once it’s broken,
you can never look at it the same
again.
A food safety tax credit would help
reinforce the sacred trust between
the Canadian agri-food chain and
consumers, a trust that processors
need to think about every day.
