REGINA —Jim Hallberg heads to<br />

Canadian <strong>Western</strong> Agribition every<br />

year for a week’s vacation as barn <strong>boss</strong>.<br />

With his wife at home feeding their<br />

herd of commercial cattle, Hallberg<br />

joins 18 other <strong>boss</strong>es, plus one supervisor,<br />

to make sure that the more than<br />

500 exhibitors <strong>and</strong> their more than<br />

5,000 animals have a rewarding<br />

experience while following commonsense<br />

rules.<br />

“It’s kind of like an extended family<br />

well. I respect what they do, they<br />

This is Hallberg’s seventh year as<br />

“We basically are there to keep our<br />

“It’s just like a hockey game. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are penalties. <strong>The</strong>y know it <strong>and</strong> I’m<br />

upfront with them.”<br />

Animals need to be stalled no later<br />

than 8 a.m. <strong>and</strong> can’t leave their barn<br />

until 6 p.m. each day. Stalls need to be<br />

kept tidy <strong>and</strong> clean.<br />

Changes to<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

committee<br />

unfair: APAS<br />

BY BRIAN CROSS<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

Members of Saskatchewan’s general<br />

farm organization are crying foul<br />

over recent changes to the <strong>Western</strong><br />

St<strong>and</strong>ards Committee.<br />

<strong>The</strong> WSC is an influential committee<br />

of the Canadian Grain Commission<br />

that reviews grain st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong><br />

grading issues in <strong>Western</strong> Canada.<br />

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s Association of<br />

Saskatchewan, said changes to the<br />

WSC’s underlying structure will give<br />

primary producers less say in how<br />

grain, oilseeds <strong>and</strong> pulse crops are<br />

graded <strong>and</strong> give elevator companies<br />

<strong>and</strong> exporters more influence.<br />

A decision made by the WSC could<br />

potentially cost prairie farmers tens<br />

of millions of dollars in a single year,<br />

he added.<br />

“What they did was downsize the<br />

producer’s (influence) <strong>and</strong> increase<br />

the industry’s,” said Hall.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> CGC was designed to protect<br />

agricultural producers, partially<br />

from the industry … but now, it<br />

seems to be turning the other way.”<br />

they get along with their neigbour<br />

usually a pretty easy group to h<strong>and</strong>le,”<br />

he said.<br />

He said he’s occasionally had to<br />

tune in an exhibitor.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> bad (thing) is somebody<br />

breaks a rule <strong>and</strong> he’s a friend of<br />

are rare, but he’s learned strate-<br />

GRAIN COMMISSION | FROM PAGE ONE<br />

Changes to WSC unfair<br />

<strong>The</strong> WSC comprises 26 members <strong>and</strong><br />

includes representation from across<br />

the industry: farmers, grain companies,<br />

end-users, government representatives<br />

<strong>and</strong> commodity groups.<br />

It also has four sub-committees<br />

that propose grading changes related<br />

to wheat, oilseeds, pulses, <strong>and</strong> barley-oats.<br />

Membership on the sub-committees<br />

has been altered significantly.<br />

For example, farmer representation<br />

on the WSC’s wheat sub-committee<br />

has been reduced from six<br />

members to two, while industry representation<br />

has increased from four<br />

members to seven.<br />

Hall said grading changes that<br />

favour farmers are far less likely to see<br />

the light of day under the new structure.<br />

For example, grading st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

that reward farmers for producing<br />

wheat with better milling qualities<br />

are far less likely to be approved or<br />

considered if the subcommittees are<br />

dominated by exporters <strong>and</strong> elevator<br />

companies, while grading discounts<br />

associated with bleaching, shriveling,<br />

dimpling <strong>and</strong> discolouration are<br />

more likely to be adopted.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> grain companies sell grain by<br />

technical st<strong>and</strong>ards so why shouldn’t<br />

they be buying it on technical st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

as well,” Hall said.<br />

Farmer Garth Burns, who chaired<br />

Correction<br />

gies that have worked well.<br />

“I treat people how I like to be treated,”<br />

said Jackson, a former barn <strong>boss</strong><br />

of the Charolais breed for 10 years.<br />

“And the other rule I have as a<br />

supervisor is I never argue. If someone<br />

is being really belligerent to me, I<br />

just turn <strong>and</strong> walk away because they<br />

can’t argue with themselves, <strong>and</strong><br />

then come back later <strong>and</strong> solve it.”<br />

Agribition pioneered the barn <strong>boss</strong><br />

program in the early1980s when<br />

breeder organizations started<br />

choosing their individual <strong>boss</strong>es.<br />

“That’s why the show is number<br />

one in the world, they say, because of<br />

the barn <strong>boss</strong> program <strong>and</strong> how we<br />

keep things going,” said Gordie<br />

Craig, 13-year <strong>boss</strong> of the Polled <strong>and</strong><br />

Horned Hereford breed.<br />

“Everybody works together,” he<br />

said.<br />

the WSC’s pulse sub-committee, said<br />

he received a letter from the CGC in<br />

early August informing him that he<br />

would no longer be sitting on the<br />

WSC’s pulse sub-committee.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’ve taken all the input away<br />

from the agricultural producers ….<br />

(so) it’s all industry driven now,” said<br />

Burns.<br />

“It’s pretty bad … especially when<br />

the m<strong>and</strong>ate of the grain commission<br />

is to look after the primary producer.”<br />

Elwin Hermanson, chief commissioner<br />

with the CGC, said the changes<br />

were designed to make the subcommittees<br />

smaller <strong>and</strong> more effective.<br />

“Part of the problem was that these<br />

committees were gradually getting<br />

larger … to the point that they weren’t<br />

as effective…,” Hermanson said.<br />

“You could argue … that producers<br />

are not represented the same way<br />

they used to be on the subcommittees.<br />

I would make the argument that<br />

we’re getting closer to what the initial<br />

purpose <strong>and</strong> vision was for the committees<br />

<strong>and</strong> that to be effective, this is<br />

a better model than what they were<br />

gradually evolving into.”<br />

Grading recommendations made<br />

at the sub-committee level must still<br />

be approved by the WSC, which<br />

selects 12 of its 26 members from<br />

producer organizations, he added.<br />

A photo caption on page 5 of the Nov. 8 issue incorrectly identified the second<br />

place winner of the middleweight division of the heavy horse pull at<br />

Farmfair International in Edmonton. Ron Sebastian of Lumsden, Sask., was<br />

WEEDS | RESISTANCE<br />

BY ED WHITE<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

Glyphosate-resistant <strong>and</strong> invasive<br />

weeds are spreading east,<br />

south <strong>and</strong> west of the central Prairies,<br />

leaving weed control officers<br />

anxiously awaiting their appearance.<br />

No one is fooling themselves into<br />

believing these new menaces won’t<br />

appear in the cold heart of the continent.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re’s a good chance some of<br />

them may be moving north,” said<br />

Manitoba Agriculture weed specialist<br />

Nasir Shaikh in an interview during<br />

the Canadian Weed Science<br />

Society’s annual meeting in Winnipeg<br />

Nov. 15.<br />

Reports of glyphosate-resistant<br />

weeds appeared in many sessions<br />

during the three-day meeting, which<br />

brought together weed scientists<br />

from across the country, as well as<br />

each province’s leading weed control<br />

officers <strong>and</strong> Canadian Food Inspection<br />

Agency officials.<br />

A host of glyphosate-resistant<br />

weeds have appeared in Ontario in<br />

recent years, <strong>and</strong> the problem is<br />

worsening.<br />

In southern Alberta, widespread<br />

glyphosate-resistant kochia is<br />

appearing <strong>and</strong> giving minimum till<br />

farmers a tough time.<br />

Saskatchewan <strong>and</strong> Manitoba don’t<br />

have major problems yet, but widespread<br />

use of glyphosate creates the<br />

ideal situation for independent<br />

development of glyphosate-resistant<br />

weeds.<br />

SLOW AND STEADY HERDING<br />

As well, already-developed resistant<br />

weeds could spread into the<br />

Prairies from the much-beset U.S.<br />

Midwest <strong>and</strong> West by air, water or<br />

truck.<br />

Herbicide resistant weeds are<br />

appearing across North Dakota, <strong>and</strong><br />

those areas are often connected to<br />

Canadian provinces by rivers.<br />

Last year, Manitoba Agriculture<br />

staff in Melita found a suspicious<br />

looking weed, which Shaikh was able<br />

to identify as giant ragweed, a worrisome<br />

invasive weed <strong>and</strong> a likely<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idate to become glyphosateresistant.<br />

Giant ragweed is believed to have<br />

travelled into the Melita area in<br />

floodwaters in the past two years,<br />

<strong>and</strong> it’s not known how many other<br />

weeds from the northern United<br />

States have floated in <strong>and</strong> spread<br />

along river valleys <strong>and</strong> onto the edges<br />

of farm fields.<br />

<strong>The</strong> war with weeds is unending.<br />

Old chemical technologies break<br />

down once weeds adapt to them <strong>and</strong><br />

many develop multiple resistances<br />

over time. Weeds become terrible<br />

problems when glyphosate-resistance<br />

is added to their armour.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dominance of minimum-till<br />

farming makes these problems hard<br />

to deal with <strong>and</strong> encourages even<br />

more chemical reliance.<br />

Alberta’s growing glyphosateresistant<br />

kochia problem is made<br />

worse by the weed’s already existing<br />

resistance to Group 2 herbicides.<br />

It has caused major problems<br />

in Kansas.<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

WINNIPEG — Few would expect<br />

Paul Earl to call for farmers to have<br />

more control in today’s deregulated<br />

grain industry.<br />

Nor would many expect him to<br />

argue that the grain industry is at risk<br />

of “imbalance” because of a lack of<br />

farmer influence.<br />

Few farmers might expect John<br />

DePape to call for new government<br />

regulations to protect small grain<br />

companies <strong>and</strong> directly fund grain<br />

industry data collection.<br />

But that’s what these right-of-centre<br />

thinkers argued during the recent<br />

Fields on Wheels conference, pointing<br />

out gaps they see in the new open<br />

market for grain in <strong>Western</strong> Canada.<br />

“Farmers need a voice,” said Earl,<br />

acting director of the University of<br />

Manitoba’s Transport Institute <strong>and</strong><br />

former chief researcher for the <strong>Western</strong><br />

Canadian Wheat Growers Association.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y have to think whether what<br />

they have lost in terms of farmer control<br />

is something they need to find a<br />

new way to implement. Will they find<br />

themselves disadvantaged by imbalances<br />

in the marketplace <strong>and</strong> will<br />

they have to recreate some sort of<br />

farmer control they have lost?”<br />

DePape echoed Earl’s concern<br />

about imbalances of economic<br />

power but focused on the likely plight<br />

of small grain firms <strong>and</strong> merchants in<br />

the post-monopoly environment.<br />

“Some of these smaller companies<br />

are going to have trouble competing<br />

with the bigger companies,” said<br />

DePape, a grain industry risk management<br />

analyst <strong>and</strong> author of the<br />

anti-monopoly blog CWB Monitor.<br />

“Many small companies relied<br />

upon the wheat board for finance<br />

<strong>and</strong> for expertise,” he said.<br />

DePape said the federal government<br />

should consider regulations<br />

that will help smaller grain companies<br />

compete with the giant firms<br />

that now dominate the Canadian<br />

grain trade.<br />

“It behooves us to give them a fighting<br />

chance,” he said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y built their businesses, their<br />

business models, around the old<br />

system, <strong>and</strong> we’ve changed that <strong>and</strong><br />

there are some things I think the government<br />

could do.”<br />

DePape wants the government to<br />

not only protect the Canadian Grain<br />

Commission’s present data gathering<br />

system but to exp<strong>and</strong> the system<br />

by forcing grain companies to report<br />

export sales when they are made.<br />

DePape said a competitive marketplace<br />

survives only if a structure<br />

exists that allows competitors to<br />

operate. For him this means regulatory<br />

support for small grain companies<br />

<strong>and</strong> statistics-gathering support<br />

for the rest of the industry.<br />

Earl said his call for more farmer<br />

control was not an argument to<br />

return to the CWB monopoly or the<br />

prairie grain pool elevator companies.<br />

He said he considers those<br />

3<br />

have also had to grapple with the<br />

ever-present danger of invasive species.<br />

Some are agricultural <strong>and</strong><br />

spread on farm <strong>and</strong> resource trucks<br />

<strong>and</strong> trains.<br />

Others are introduced in urban<br />

gardens as pretty plants <strong>and</strong> then<br />

spread into farming areas.<br />

Saskatchewan weed specialist Clark<br />

Brenzil said he has seen a worrisome<br />

ornamental weed, Himalayan Balsam,<br />

literally “jump the fence” in a<br />

Saskatoon neighbour-hood <strong>and</strong><br />

begin spreading in a back alley.<br />

Ontario Agriculture weed control<br />

specialist Kristen Callow described<br />

her alarm at the discovery of a patch<br />

of kudzu on a slope beside water in<br />

her province. It’s a big patch <strong>and</strong><br />

hasn’t yet been eradicated as experts<br />

figure out how to kill it.<br />

GRAIN MARKETING | OPEN MARKET<br />

Deregulation advocates see need for greater farmer voice<br />

failed approaches that hurt farmers<br />

more than helped them.<br />

However, he thinks farmers need to<br />

have access to decision making<br />

within the grain industry, which<br />

ended with the demise of the CWB<br />

monopoly <strong>and</strong> the pools.<br />

Earl acknowledged that developing<br />

a stronger voice within the industry<br />

will be difficult because farmers who<br />

pushed for the end of the CWB<br />

monopoly <strong>and</strong> other government<br />

interventions don’t want it now.<br />

“Farmer control is such a bad<br />

odour. <strong>The</strong>re are so many bad examples<br />

of how it should not be done in<br />

the last 50 years, that they do not even<br />

want to talk about it,” said Earl of proopen<br />

market organizations such as<br />

the wheat growers association.

“We were disappointed to learn<br />

that government funding for<br />

AgriInvest is going to be reduced,”<br />

week’s midterm convention.<br />

BY BARRY WILSON<br />

OTTAWA BUREAU<br />

Canada’s food processing sector<br />

faces a growing multibillion-dollar<br />

trade deficit <strong>and</strong> a serious decline in<br />

its ability to compete, says a new<br />

study published by the Canadian<br />

Agri-Food Policy Institute.<br />

Author Doug Hedley, a former<br />

senior Agriculture Canada official,<br />

described a value-adding industry<br />

with serious problems of competitiveness,<br />

investment <strong>and</strong> a growing<br />

gap between the value of processed<br />

food imports <strong>and</strong> exports.<br />

“Canada’s net trade in value-added<br />

processed food has deteriorated<br />

from 85 percent under the old program.<br />

However, SARM is particularly concerned<br />

that payments will be capped<br />

at the lower of the historical reference<br />

margin or the average of allowable<br />

expenses.<br />

“Basically it’s going to create a scenario<br />

where the incentive to lower<br />

input costs will be lost,” said Feltin.<br />

“By reducing your input costs, you<br />

would actually reduce any payment<br />

you would trigger from AgriStability,<br />

so it kind of seems like a disincentive.”<br />

She said the purpose of the program<br />

is to protect producers in times<br />

of volatility, <strong>and</strong> it doesn’t make<br />

sense to base it on margins <strong>and</strong><br />

expenses when fertilizer, fuel <strong>and</strong><br />

commodity prices have all been volatile<br />

in recent years.<br />

“We are going to continue to raise<br />

this issue. We would like to see a<br />

change for sure,” said Feltin.<br />

SARM would like to see more<br />

from a deficit of about $1 billion in<br />

2004 to $6.3 billion in 2011,” he wrote.<br />

CAPI president David McInnes said<br />

in a Nov. 19 interview that the analysis<br />

is bad news for the entire food<br />

sector.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> trend line of a growing trade<br />

deficit is disturbing,” he said. “This is<br />

a very important issue for primary<br />

producers who sell to these plants<br />

<strong>and</strong> to retailers.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> numbers mean processed food<br />

products now on grocery store<br />

shelves are increasingly imports.<br />

In recent years, there has been<br />

increasing evidence of what analysts<br />

call the “hollowing out” of Canada’s<br />

food processing industry, particu-<br />

research money spent on the livestock<br />

<strong>and</strong> forage industries <strong>and</strong> a<br />

renewal <strong>and</strong> expansion of the Farm<br />

<strong>and</strong> Ranch Water Infrastructure Program.<br />

Feltin said the federal government<br />

is about to launch formal consultations<br />

on a new Species at Risk Act.<br />

Farmers can now be fined up to<br />

$250,000 or imprisoned for causing<br />

inadvertent harm to species at risk<br />

through normal farming activities,<br />

although Feltin said the current act<br />

has no teeth in that regard.<br />

SARM wants the new act to eliminate<br />

all producer liability <strong>and</strong> reward<br />

farmers who set aside l<strong>and</strong> for species<br />

at risk.<br />

“We still have to be profitable in the<br />

ag sector <strong>and</strong> (the act) can’t conflict<br />

with that,” said Feltin.<br />

She had good news for producers<br />

about the Census of Agriculture.<br />

“Any agriculture producer I know<br />

hates filling out the ag census. It’s a<br />

long form, it takes a long time <strong>and</strong> not<br />

larly in Ontario where plants have<br />

been closing, jobs are being shed <strong>and</strong><br />

farmers are losing a domestic market<br />

for their produce.<br />

Food <strong>and</strong> Consumer Products of<br />

Canada (FPCP) said last week the<br />

report flags a significant industry<br />

problem.<br />

It is the largest Canadian manufacturing<br />

sector, with 300,000 employees,<br />

but has been recording trade<br />

deficits for two decades. As well, the<br />

gap between the value of exports <strong>and</strong><br />

imports has increased sharply in<br />

recent years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> FPCP used the report to renew<br />

a call for more government support,<br />

including tax breaks, labour market<br />

only that but it’s in May, one of the<br />

most difficult <strong>and</strong> busy times for agriculture<br />

producers,” said Feltin.<br />

SARM recently attended a workshop<br />

about changing the census.<br />

“I can tell you that I really think it’s<br />

going to be shortened this time, so<br />

that’s good,” she told delegates.<br />

Feltin believes the federal government<br />

will eliminate nine questions<br />

from the census.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y don’t have money to make<br />

the form long. <strong>The</strong>y want to make<br />

sure they’re not asking anything that<br />

costs extra money.”<br />

SARM has been lobbying Ottawa to<br />

collect financial data from other programs<br />

such as crop insurance,<br />

income tax <strong>and</strong> AgriStability instead<br />

of requiring farmers to fill out that<br />

information on the census.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y said they are looking at that.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are testing a system right now<br />

where they can actually pull that data<br />

from these various other programs,”<br />

said Feltin.<br />

credits <strong>and</strong> reduced regulation.<br />

In his report, Hedley did not pinpoint<br />

the causes of declining industry<br />

competitiveness. It is a combination<br />

of a reduced value of exports <strong>and</strong><br />

an increase in the value of imports.<br />

He raised some possibilities <strong>and</strong><br />

suggested they be explored:<br />

• the growing trade gap roughly<br />

coincides with the increased value<br />

of the Canadian dollar in recent<br />

years, which has made Canadian<br />

production less competitive with<br />

American production. <strong>The</strong> United<br />

States is the main buyer of Canadian<br />

product <strong>and</strong> the main source of<br />

imports<br />

• Canada’s access to American <strong>and</strong><br />

A number of agriculture-related<br />

resolutions were passed at the midterm<br />

convention suggesting that SARM:<br />

• set up a steering committee in<br />

conjunction with Manitoba <strong>and</strong><br />

Alberta to form a co-operative to<br />

buy the Agroforestry Development<br />

Centre at Indian Head, Sask., <strong>and</strong><br />

operate it at full cost recovery<br />

• lobby provincial <strong>and</strong> federal governments<br />

to support proposals<br />

provided by retention committees<br />

before dispersing federal community<br />

pastures<br />

• lobby the Saskatchewan Crop<br />

Insurance Corp. to refuse coverage<br />

on clubroot susceptible crops,<br />

including clubroot resistant canola<br />

varieties, that are seeded where<br />

a susceptible crop was grown the<br />

previous year<br />

• lobby provincial government<br />

agencies for grants to develop<br />

non-potable water resources for<br />

domestic <strong>and</strong> livestock use in rural<br />

areas with a lack of water<br />

XL FOODS | PROCESSING<br />

XL plant starts slowly<br />

to ensure food safety<br />

JBS manages production | Workers trained on protocols<br />

BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />

CAMROSE BUREAU<br />

Meat is leaving the XL Foods plant<br />

in Brooks, Alta., for the first time<br />

since an E. coli outbreak forced its<br />

closure in September.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re shipping the product out<br />

<strong>and</strong> it’s going to retailers. Everything<br />

seems to be in progress,” said Doug<br />

O’Halloran of the United Food <strong>and</strong><br />

Commercial Workers union.<br />

JBS USA took over management of<br />

the southern Alberta plant from XL<br />

Foods in October. <strong>The</strong> Canadian<br />

Food Inspection Agency pulled XL<br />

Foods’ license to produce after food<br />

safety concerns.<br />

Nineteen people became sick after<br />

eating E. coli contaminated meat<br />

from the plant.<br />

As part of its relicensing agreement,<br />

the slaughtered beef must be held<br />

until E. coli tests come back negative.<br />

When JBS took over management<br />

of the plant, it said it planned to<br />

implement its own tough food safety<br />

system that is already in place at its<br />

eight U.S. plants.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re taking great care to ensure<br />

all the i’s are dotted <strong>and</strong> t’s are<br />

crossed,” O’Halloran said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plant slaughtered almost 2,000<br />

head of cattle per day before it was<br />

shut down. Workers cited line speed<br />

as part of the reason why food safety<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards may have been compromised.<br />

<strong>The</strong> production line began at a<br />

slower pace when the plant reopened<br />

to ensure all workers understood<br />

food safety protocols. <strong>The</strong> line is still<br />

operating at a reduced pace, he said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re doing what is necessary to<br />

ensure everyone is trained properly<br />

<strong>and</strong> the best product possible is<br />

going out the door.”<br />

Workers have also been given more<br />

authority to raise food safety issues,<br />

O’Halloran said.<br />

“So far the changes with JBS have<br />

been very positive,” he said.<br />

“We’ve got our fingers crossed it will<br />

continue to have a heightened sense<br />

of food safety <strong>and</strong> worker safety <strong>and</strong><br />

get this plant back operating fully.”<br />

PURATONE | CREDITOR PROTECTION<br />

Puratone’s call for grain<br />

angers farmer left in cold<br />

54,000 bushels delivered | Several farmers considering lawsuit<br />

BY ROBERT ARNASON<br />

BRANDON BUREAU<br />

MORDEN, Man. — Sitting at his<br />

dining room table, Robert Wiebe<br />

looks like a man who hasn’t slept<br />

much since the middle of September.<br />

It’s been two months since Puratone<br />

entered creditor protection, but<br />

Wiebe is still enraged because the<br />

hog production company owes him<br />

more than $300,000.<br />

Wiebe, who farms north of Morden,<br />

delivered 54,000 bushels of winter<br />

wheat to Puratone’s feed mill in Winkler<br />

in late August <strong>and</strong> September.<br />

Puratone paid him for only 16,000<br />

bu. of wheat.<br />

“I hauled all my winter wheat to<br />

them,” said Wiebe, who has sold<br />

grain to Puratone for years. “<strong>The</strong>y<br />

owe me for 38,000 bu. I delivered<br />

them about 54,000 bu.”<br />

If it wasn’t for an excellent corn crop<br />

on his 2,200 acre farm, Wiebe said it<br />

would have been difficult to cover the<br />

$300,000 deficit.<br />

“I had a super corn crop this year<br />

<strong>and</strong> I am going to survive. Last year I<br />

would’ve had to re-mortgage or shut<br />

down,” he said.<br />

It will take several years to recover<br />

from the $300,000 loss, he added.<br />

“That was me <strong>and</strong> my family’s paycheque<br />

for the year,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two weeks after Puratone entered<br />

creditor protection Sept. 12<br />

were particularly stressful because<br />

he didn’t know his corn crop would<br />

pull him through.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> first two weeks, there was no<br />

sleeping,” he said. “It was a dry fall so<br />

(I) didn’t think the corn crop would<br />

even make average. What are you<br />

going to have to sell? How are you<br />

going to survive this?”<br />

Puratone produces 500,000 hogs<br />

per year <strong>and</strong> is the third largest hog<br />

production company in Manitoba.<br />

With record high feed costs this summer,<br />

Puratone was losing $20 to $50<br />

on every hog it sold.<br />

Maple Leaf Foods announced in<br />

early November that it was buying<br />

Puratone’s 50 barns <strong>and</strong> three feed<br />

mills for $42 million. <strong>The</strong> deal will<br />

likely be completed by December.<br />

In a statement, Maple Leaf said it<br />

isn’t planning immediate changes<br />

for Puratone’s barns, which have<br />

remained operational during the<br />

creditor protection period.<br />

However, it is unclear how the $42<br />

million will be distributed to Puratone’s<br />

creditors.<br />

A court appointed monitor, Deloitte<br />

<strong>and</strong> Touche, is overseeing the creditor<br />

protection process. Puratone<br />

owes $40.8 million to the Bank of<br />

Montreal, $40.2 million to Farm<br />

Credit Canada <strong>and</strong> $5 million to<br />

Manitoba Agricultural Services<br />

Corp. All three are secured creditors.<br />

A creditor list, which is available<br />

online, indicates that Puratone owes<br />

Robert Wiebe, who farms near Morden, Man., delivered 54,000 bushels<br />

of winter wheat, but only received payment for 16,000 bu. He is out<br />

more than $300,000 <strong>and</strong> may never receive payment for his grain. |<br />

ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO<br />

$20,000 to $300,000 each to dozens of<br />

Manitoba farmers who delivered<br />

grain to the company before it applied<br />

for court protection.<br />

John Sigurdson, who farms near<br />

Riverton, Man., is out $60,000 after<br />

delivering grain to Puratone’s feed<br />

mill in Arborg, Man.<br />

“As it st<strong>and</strong>s right now … we are<br />

looking for a lawyer that works in<br />

bankruptcy <strong>and</strong> insolvency,” Sigurdson<br />

said. “As soon as your grain got<br />

there, it was made into feed <strong>and</strong> away<br />

it went.”<br />

Wiebe assumed Puratone was<br />

bonded <strong>and</strong> that he would eventually<br />

be paid for his grain. Besides, Puratone<br />

had called <strong>and</strong> asked him to<br />

deliver his winter wheat.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y phoned me <strong>and</strong> kept bugging<br />

me to bring in grain. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />

short of grain, they said. So I brought<br />

grain in for three weeks.”<br />

On top of his financial loss, Wiebe<br />

said a telephone conversation in the<br />

middle of September with Puratone<br />

chief executive officer Ray Hildebr<strong>and</strong><br />

put him over the edge.<br />

“When I phoned the CEO, the big<br />

boy, he told me his pigs were more<br />

important than my farm.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Producer</strong> phoned<br />

Puratone for comment but the company<br />

declined.<br />

Because of his loss <strong>and</strong> what he<br />

calls a flippant reaction from Puratone,<br />

Wiebe has joined the group of<br />

Manitoba farmers considering a lawsuit<br />

to recover their money.<br />

At this point, however, it’s not clear<br />

who they will sue because Puratone<br />

owes more money than it received<br />

from Maple Leaf.<br />

As well, Maple Leaf bought Puratone’s<br />

assets rather than the entire<br />

company, which means it isn’t<br />

responsible for Puratone’s liabilities<br />

under Canadian regulations.<br />

“We had a specific agreement in<br />

Since Maple Leaf Foods announced<br />

Nov. 1 that it was buying Puratone,<br />

several Manitoba farmers <strong>and</strong><br />

Manitoba MP James Bezan have<br />

said Maple Leaf should compensate<br />

producers who sold grain to Puratone<br />

<strong>and</strong> never received payment.<br />

In a response, Maple Leaf spokesperson<br />

David Bauer said the following:<br />

“Maple Leaf is investing over $40<br />

million to acquire this business <strong>and</strong><br />

keep it operating. This includes<br />

paying full price for the grain, as<br />

part of the purchase price. Once<br />

the deal closes, which we expect in<br />

about a month, or a little less, these<br />

funds will be paid to the court,<br />

which determines how the funds<br />

are distributed. We are already paying<br />

fair market value for the grain<br />

<strong>and</strong> the pigs. And we are equally<br />

committed to paying fair <strong>and</strong> competitively,<br />

going forward.”<br />

place for the purchase of the assets,<br />

which does not include the outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

debt,” said Maple Leaf spokesperson<br />

David Bauer.<br />

Keystone Agricultural <strong>Producer</strong>s<br />

president Doug Chorney has heard<br />

more than a dozen complaints from<br />

Manitoba farmers about the Puratone<br />

deal.<br />

He said it’s unfair that the entity that<br />

replaces Puratone can walk away<br />

from its financial obligations.<br />

“We don’t think it’s acceptable for<br />

this business to carry on <strong>and</strong> all these<br />

farmers not getting paid anything for<br />

their grain,” he said.<br />

“This creditor protection … prohibited<br />

anyone from taking any action<br />

<strong>and</strong> now it seems like everyone gets<br />

off without any responsibility.”<br />

KAP is looking to organize a meeting<br />

in the next few weeks with the<br />

players involved, including Maple<br />

Leaf, Puratone <strong>and</strong> producers, to see<br />

if there is a way forward.<br />

Bauer said Maple Leaf is open to the<br />

idea.<br />

“We’re open to engaging all stakeholders<br />

as part of the process.”

SHIPPING | CAR UNLOADS<br />

WINNIPEG — Grain is rushing<br />

through the Canadian transportation<br />

network in the first months<br />

after the death of the CWB’s export<br />

monopoly.<br />

“Overall, things are looking pretty<br />

good,” said Mark Hemmes, manager<br />

of the federally appointed<br />

grain system monitor Quorum<br />

Corp., in a speech during the Fields<br />

on Wheels conference Nov. 6.<br />

That perception dominated the<br />

conference, which is the grain<br />

industry’s annual logistics forum.<br />

Not only has the system not broken<br />

down as a new set of logistical signals<br />

were switched on, but remarkable<br />

efficiency gains have been<br />

seen since Aug. 1.<br />

“For the first 13 weeks of this year,<br />

we have started to bust unloading<br />

paradigms, between both railroads<br />

in co-operation with grain companies,<br />

about capacity in Vancouver,”<br />

said Canadian Pacific Railway grain<br />

shipping manager Murray Hamilton.<br />

“Is this the new norm? Is that<br />

what’s going to be sustainable<br />

going forward?”<br />

Car unloading totals in Vancouver<br />

are at levels almost unimaginable<br />

10 years ago, while shipping<br />

through Thunder Bay has hit nearrecord<br />

levels in recent weeks <strong>and</strong><br />

the port of Churchill has seen good<br />

grain flow.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lack of significant problems in<br />

the grain transportation business is<br />

a pleasant surprise to many in the<br />

Canadian grain industry, considering<br />

that the CWB played a dominant<br />

role in many aspects of the<br />

grain logistics system, from organizing<br />

sales to ordering <strong>and</strong> organizing<br />

rail car allocation to directing<br />

grain to port terminals.<br />

Many players, such as grain companies,<br />

some farm groups <strong>and</strong> grain<br />

merchants, argued for years that<br />

the system could be more efficient<br />

without the CWB’s involvement<br />

because it added an extra layer of<br />

complexity to the system.<br />

However, many of the same players<br />

feared the switchover could<br />

reveal unforeseen gaps in the system<br />

or faulty structures as the new<br />

system evolved.<br />

Those problems have not materialized.<br />

“Is this all about the CWB? I’m not<br />

ready to say that yet,” said Hemmes.<br />

“But I can tell you that things are<br />

looking really good.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> industry had more than a<br />

year to prepare for the end of the<br />

monopoly, with federal agriculture<br />

minister Gerry Ritz making it<br />

clear as soon as the Conservative<br />

government won a majority that<br />

he intended to kill the board’s<br />

monopoly powers.<br />

Hemmes said he believes the railway<br />

companies didn’t want to be<br />

the cause of system problems so<br />

they knuckled down to ensure that<br />

didn’t happen.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> railways went into this crop<br />

year with a mindset that said<br />

nobody’s going to (be able to)<br />

blame us for this, so it’s working,”<br />

said Hemmes.<br />

Hamilton said the months before<br />

Aug. 1 were a harried time, with a<br />

feeling of “organized mayhem”<br />

within his company as it prepared<br />

for the new logistics signals.<br />

Weekly Vancouver grain car<br />

unloads of more than 4,500, well<br />

above the 4,000 per week average of<br />

the past five years, revealed extra<br />

capacity that has been hiding within<br />

the system.<br />

Hamilton said CPR’s new chief<br />

executive officer, Hunter Harrison,<br />

is pushing his grain people to find<br />

more.<br />

“He is absolutely convinced that<br />

there is more capacity out there,”<br />

said Hamilton.<br />

“Between railroads <strong>and</strong> grain<br />

<strong>Producer</strong><br />

car orders<br />

resilient<br />

BY ED WHITE<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

<strong>Producer</strong> cars have shown surprising<br />

resilience in the post-CWB<br />

monopoly world.<br />

<strong>Producer</strong> car orders are pouring into<br />

the system after a slow start <strong>and</strong> service<br />

appears to be good, even though<br />

many thought there would be no<br />

place for them without a monopoly.<br />

“I thought the producer cars were<br />

going to disappear,” said Quorum<br />

Corp. manager Mark Hemmes at the<br />

Fields on Wheels conference Nov. 6.<br />

“We’re seeing a fair number of producer<br />

cars <strong>and</strong> they’re moving.”<br />

Hemmes’ surprise reflects that of<br />

many in the grain industry, who<br />

doubted that the railways would willingly<br />

provide producer cars or haul<br />

them once the CWB lost the power to<br />

confront the railways.<br />

Murray Hamilton, grain shipping<br />

manager with Canadian Pacific Railway,<br />

said the good service reflects the<br />

commitment his company made<br />

before the monopoly was broken Aug. 1.<br />

“From our perspective, it was going<br />

to be no change,” said Hamilton.<br />

If farmers ordered cars, they would<br />

be delivered.<br />

Hamilton said producer car orders<br />

DURUM | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK<br />

BY ROBIN BOOKER<br />

SASKATOON OFFICE<br />

Durum prices might strengthen in<br />

the new year, but the rally may come<br />

too late to hold acres as producers<br />

consider more profitable crops when<br />

making next year’s seeding decisions.<br />

Jim Peterson, marketing director<br />

for the North Dakota Wheat Commission,<br />

said 2012 world durum<br />

production was 1.3 billion bushels,<br />

down slightly from 2011 <strong>and</strong> down<br />

200 million bu. from 2009’s record<br />

crop of 1.5 billion bu.<br />

Better spring weather helped North<br />

America increase production last<br />

summer. Canada’s crop rose to 161<br />

million bu. from last year’s 153 million<br />

while the U.S. crop jumped 60<br />

percent to 81 million bu.<br />

However, that was not enough to<br />

offset production problems in the<br />

European Union, Kazakhstan, Syria<br />

<strong>and</strong> Turkey.<br />

“It’s been about three years in a row<br />

that the world durum production has<br />

contracted, so that’s obviously a little<br />

bit bullish for prices,” Peterson said<br />

in an interview summarizing the<br />

presentation he gave at the wheat<br />

commission’s annual outlook meeting<br />

Nov.13 in Minot, N.D.<br />

there is not a robust sales environ-<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

<strong>The</strong> enormous spread between<br />

green <strong>and</strong> yellow peas will narrow in<br />

the coming months as green prices<br />

fall <strong>and</strong> yellows rise, predicts a pulse<br />

analyst.<br />

<strong>The</strong> average delivered elevator<br />

price for green peas in Saskatchewan<br />

was $12.25 per bushel as of Nov. 19,<br />

compared to $8.47 per bu. for yellows.<br />

That works out to a spread of $3.78<br />

per bu., largely due to a shortage of<br />

green pea production in Canada.<br />

Green <strong>and</strong> yellow peas were<br />

essentially parallel priced until<br />

November 2011, when it became<br />

clear Canada had harvested a disappointing<br />

crop.<br />

“That’s when greens initially started<br />

to inch away <strong>and</strong> then eventually<br />

started to run away from yellows,”<br />

said Harold Davis, author of prairiecropcharts.com.<br />

Stat Publishing said green pea<br />

prices are bolstered by a poor crop in<br />

Argentina, where growers are<br />

expected to harvest 170,000 tonnes of<br />

green peas, down from pre-harvest<br />

forecasts of 200,000 tonnes.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are concerns that only 30<br />

percent of Argentina’s crop will be<br />

equivalent of a No. 2 grade in North<br />

America, with 41 percent destined<br />

for livestock feed or extremely price<br />

conscious markets.<br />

Davis thinks the rapid run-up in<br />

green prices could be coming to an<br />

end.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re in a fast bull market <strong>and</strong><br />

that’s often the prelude to topping<br />

action,” he said.<br />

Larry Weber of Weber Commodities<br />

Ltd. agreed. He advises his subscribers<br />

to make certain their green<br />

peas are sold before Statistics<br />

Canada comes out with its first acreage<br />

estimate in April because growers<br />

will plant as much green pea seed<br />

as they can get their h<strong>and</strong>s on.<br />

Davis is bullish on yellow peas<br />

because they are such good value. At<br />

one point in late September, the crop<br />

was selling for the same price as feed<br />

peas f.o.b. farm in Saskatchewan.<br />

“Since then, yellows have rebounded<br />

a little bit in prices whereas feed<br />

peas have gone sideways, so that<br />

spread has opened up a little bit,” he<br />

said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> spread has grown to 73 cents a<br />

bu., <strong>and</strong> Davis expects it to continue<br />

to widen as yellow peas snap out of<br />

their slumber. Buyers have been<br />

holding off on purchases because of<br />

a currency crisis, but Canadian pulse<br />

reduced dem<strong>and</strong> because it is coming<br />

off two good growing years with<br />

production hovering around 200<br />

million bu., up from 160 million bu.<br />

in 2010, Peterson said.<br />

Frayne Olson, a crops economist<br />

<strong>and</strong> marketing specialist at North<br />

Dakota State University, told the<br />

meeting there is limited downward<br />

risk for durum prices, with the excep-<br />

tion of two potential clouds: fiscal<br />

problems in Europe <strong>and</strong> the socalled<br />

fiscal cliff that the U.S. Congress<br />

needs to address by Jan.1.<br />

“Underlying supply conditions for<br />

all of our major commodities are very<br />

positive right now. <strong>The</strong> downside risk<br />

in prices is limited, with the exception<br />

of these two things that are really<br />

outside the realm of agriculture,”<br />

Olson said.<br />

“On a commodity st<strong>and</strong>point, any<br />

hint of a recession or cutback on con-<br />

exporters say that situation is beginning<br />

to resolve itself.<br />

“I would expect yellows at some<br />

point to reawaken <strong>and</strong> head to higher<br />

ground,” he said.<br />

Feed pea prices have gained<br />

strength from the runup in corn <strong>and</strong><br />

soy meal markets, a result of the devastating<br />

U.S. drought. However, feed<br />

peas haven’t come off their highs the<br />

way corn <strong>and</strong> soybeans have.<br />

Davis suspects feed pea prices will<br />

stay where they are for awhile, even if<br />

corn <strong>and</strong> soy meal prices rebound,<br />

because they didn’t cool off when the<br />

Chicago commodities did.<br />

sumer spending will put a negative<br />

tone into the commodity markets.”<br />

Peterson said durum acres in the<br />

United States <strong>and</strong> Canada will fall<br />

more than 10 percent next year if the<br />

current price relationship with hard<br />

spring wheat holds.<br />

“We’re already hearing of some<br />

early seed sales from guys that sell<br />

certified seed,” Peterson said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is pretty strong interest in<br />

spring wheat from typical durum<br />

growers.”<br />

Cash bids for durum <strong>and</strong> hard red<br />

spring wheat are about equal, at $8<br />

to$8.25 per bu. in North Dakota <strong>and</strong><br />

Montana.<br />

Olson said durum is below spring<br />

wheat in terms of per acre profitability,<br />

which is below corn or soybeans.<br />

“If you can raise a respectable crop<br />

of corn or soybeans, spring wheat<br />

runs a distant third <strong>and</strong> durum is<br />

below that,” Olson said.<br />

Many producers want a premium<br />

for growing durum rather than<br />

spring wheat because of the increased<br />

risk in meeting the tight<br />

quality specifications, Peterson said.<br />

“Most producers feel that with how<br />

small the U.S. durum crop was in<br />

2011, <strong>and</strong> the potential trend for<br />

acres to be cut again next year in the<br />

U.S. <strong>and</strong> Canada, somewhere north<br />

of $10 a bushel is not too high, especially<br />

when you compare to corn at<br />

$5.50 <strong>and</strong> even winter wheat in the $8<br />

to $9 range,” Peterson said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> U.S. durum industry sees the<br />

potential to lose durum acres next<br />

year but has been getting the durum<br />

it needs so is reluctant to press the<br />

Chuck Penner of LeftField Commodity<br />

Research said feed peas are<br />

more closely tied to feed wheat<br />

prices.<br />

“As long as feed wheat prices stay<br />

elevated, feed pea bids will remain<br />

firm <strong>and</strong> provide a floor for yellow<br />

edible prices,” he wrote in a recent<br />

edition of Alberta Pulse Growers’<br />

Pulse Market Insight newsletter.<br />

Penner said some Canadian peas<br />

are being shipped to Spain, where<br />

they will be used in the livestock<br />

industry. He said the strong dem<strong>and</strong><br />

for feed peas is alleviating concerns<br />

about the potential for weaker pea<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y seem to be waiting right<br />

before planting time,” Peterson said.<br />

“If they feel they need more acres,<br />

they will step up <strong>and</strong> do more buying,<br />

but producers in the U.S. <strong>and</strong> Canada<br />

are locking in contracts <strong>and</strong> making<br />

seeding decisions certainly by the<br />

first of the year,” he said.<br />

“It’s difficult to pick up significant<br />

acres with a price run right at planting.”<br />

This year’s crop was generally high<br />

quality so there is little premium for<br />

protein.<br />

Olson said there is a big difference<br />

in how Canadian <strong>and</strong> American<br />

durum is marketed. Seventy-eight of<br />

the crop is used domestically in the<br />

U.S., while 85 percent of Canada’s<br />

crop is exported.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> U.S. is really a domestic driven<br />

market,” he said. “When millers <strong>and</strong><br />

pasta companies start buying, that’s<br />

when we know there is some activity<br />

<strong>and</strong> their inventories are getting low.<br />

Some Canadian durum does come<br />

into the States, but lots of it goes to<br />

other parts of the world like Europe<br />

<strong>and</strong> North Africa.”<br />

Olson said Canadian producers<br />

will have to be aware of changing<br />

supply-dem<strong>and</strong> conditions in the<br />

new open market.<br />

“Canadian farmers are going to<br />

recognize that price movements can<br />

be fairly quick up or down.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> durum market is small, he said,<br />

which leads to periods of volatility.<br />

Bids can suddenly increase when a<br />

buyer needs to assemble a ship load<br />

for an export order.<br />

Future rosy for some, not for others<br />

Feedlots, packers suffer<br />

| Small calf supply, high<br />

feed price will hurt<br />

STORIES BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />

CALGARY BUREAU<br />

Next year could be the worst of<br />

times or the best of times for the<br />

North American beef industry,<br />

depending on the sector.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cow-calf sector may enjoy<br />

record prices, but ongoing drought in<br />

the United States <strong>and</strong> escalating feed<br />

grain prices could drive other sectors<br />

further into the red.<br />

Calf prices could hit record levels<br />

next year, said Duane Lenz, market<br />

analyst with Cattlefax based in Denver,<br />

Colorado.<br />

“We look for record high prices next<br />

year. That could be the cyclical top,”<br />

he said at the Canfax market forum in<br />

Calgary Nov. 14.<br />

“Cattle prices cannot continue to go<br />

up forever. At some point gravity will<br />

take hold.”<br />

To get stronger calf prices would<br />

require a break in the U.S. drought.<br />

Pastures must recover to give producers<br />

confidence to buy calves.<br />

Cattlefax expects 550 pound steers<br />

to average $185 per hundredweight<br />

next year, exceeding this year’s average<br />

of $168. Feeders weighing 750 lb.<br />

could go as high as $160 per cwt. with<br />

an average for the year of $147.<br />

Finished cattle prices could be<br />

higher than $130 per cwt., which<br />

would be a record <strong>and</strong> likely short<br />

lived. Fed cattle averaged $95 per<br />

cwt. in 2010.<br />

However, corn prices could average<br />

$6.20 per bushel next year with peaks<br />

a dollar higher.<br />

Feedlots will suffer as feed supplies<br />

tighten <strong>and</strong> competition grows for a<br />

small calf supply. American feedlots<br />

already have too many open pens<br />

<strong>and</strong> are losing about $150 per head.<br />

“We will start to lose some yards,<br />

unfortunately,” he said.<br />

Packers may close because they<br />

also face excess capacity <strong>and</strong> large<br />

losses. Some wondered if XL Foods in<br />

Brooks, Alta., would be the next casualty,<br />

but JBS-USA taking over its management<br />

means it is likely to survive.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canadian beef industry is<br />

shrinking, but it continues to punch<br />

above its weight class.<br />

But with declining beef consumption<br />

at home, hopes for expansion<br />

depend largely on export success.<br />

“Canada is a relatively small player<br />

in the export market with only about<br />

two percent of the global beef cow<br />

inventories,” said Andrea Brocklebank,<br />

head of research for Canfax.<br />

While Canada places only ninth<br />

globally in the size of its cow inventory,<br />

it is the world’s fifth largest beef<br />

exporter, shipping out 44 percent of<br />

production as beef <strong>and</strong> live cattle.<br />

Per capita beef consumption fell<br />

to 20 kilograms per year, down from<br />

about 25 kg in 1980.<br />

Poultry consumption is steady<br />

<strong>and</strong> pork is falling.<br />

Calf prices next year will get a boost if U.S. pastures recover from this year’s drought. | FILE PHOTO<br />

It is becoming increasingly difficult<br />

to predict prices because only 30<br />

percent of U.S. cattle are now traded<br />

on the cash market. <strong>The</strong> rest are sold<br />

on contract or managed through<br />

alternative marketing agreements.<br />

As well, record prices do not guarantee<br />

profits. Industry players must<br />

find ways to protect themselves<br />

against this risk <strong>and</strong> volatility, said<br />

Canfax manager Brian Perillat.<br />

Canadian markets reflect what<br />

happens in the U.S., but Perillat said<br />

prices here are not likely to be as high<br />

because of a wide basis that has<br />

dogged the business all year.<br />

Finished cattle prices were mostly<br />

flat this year with no spring rally.<br />

<strong>The</strong> last strong year was 2001, when<br />

fed cattle fetched $121 per cwt.<br />

Markets were volatile with fed cattle<br />

prices moving as much as $40 per<br />

head from one day to the next.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is 30 percent excess capacity<br />

in western Canadian feedlots, where<br />

losses hit as much as $200 per head.<br />

<strong>The</strong> basis spread between Alberta<br />

<strong>and</strong> Nebraska cash prices has been<br />

wider than normal <strong>and</strong> can cost<br />

Canadians up to $50 per head.<br />

Perillat predicts an average of $122<br />

CANFAX MARKET FORUM | EXPORTS<br />

Beef sector relies on increasing global markets<br />

ANDREA<br />

BROCKLEBANK<br />

CANFAX<br />

Canada imports more than a quarter<br />

of its beef, especially for manufacturing<br />

quality <strong>and</strong> some middle meat<br />

when there is a deficit.<br />

<strong>The</strong> United States is the primary<br />

export destination. Twenty eight<br />

percent of Canadian beef goes to the<br />

U.S. but that makes up only three<br />

percent of America’s total supply.<br />

“We are not a major supplier to this<br />

market when you look at the big picture,”<br />

Brocklebank said.<br />

per cwt. for fed cattle in Canada next<br />

year, assuming a par dollar with average<br />

basis levels. Summer lows will be<br />

$110 to $115.<br />

Calves 550 pounds averaged $151<br />

per cwt. this year <strong>and</strong> there could still<br />

be a record price in November once<br />

the final numbers are crunched.<br />

Cow prices are strengthening. XL<br />

Foods processed a lot of cows so its<br />

closure drove down prices this fall.<br />

XL Foods’ closure because of E. coli<br />

contamination forced producers to<br />

find alternative markets for their<br />

cattle. Cargill Meat Solutions at High<br />

River, Alta., increased its kill capacity<br />

<strong>and</strong> more cattle went to the U.S.<br />

Fed cattle exports reached 16,000<br />

per week in October while XL Foods<br />

was closed, up from a normal 4,000.<br />

Perillat said the signals are encouraging<br />

cow-calf producers to start<br />

exp<strong>and</strong>ing, but that may not be evident<br />

until 2015.<br />

Canada lost a quarter of its herd in<br />

the last seven years, but there was a<br />

small uptick in cow numbers in the<br />

last inventory report. A few more<br />

heifers were retained, but the population<br />

remains flat.<br />

“It is critical that our industry starts<br />

Twenty-five percent of Canadian<br />

beef goes to California’s Hispanic<br />

communities looking for leaner<br />

beef.<br />

Mexico <strong>and</strong> Hong Kong are Canada’s<br />

second <strong>and</strong> third largest beef<br />

markets, respectively.<br />

Russia has imported various cuts<br />

<strong>and</strong> offal in the past.<br />

Moscow has invested heavily in the<br />

pork <strong>and</strong> poultry industries <strong>and</strong> is<br />

focusing more on dairy production<br />

than beef. Most beef is a byproduct of<br />

dairy production.<br />

<strong>The</strong> government has said it wants to<br />

be self sufficient in beef by 2020.<br />

“We haven’t seen the growth that<br />

matches with that policy,” she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> big question is if the government<br />

were to actually pursue that,<br />

what would it actually do.”<br />

to turn this corner,” he said.<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s remain cautious<br />

because profits have been elusive.<br />

In the U.S., expansion depends on<br />

the drought ending. <strong>Producer</strong>s may<br />

consider expansion if there is water<br />

<strong>and</strong> grass next year, but cow slaughter<br />

will go up if it is another dry year.<br />

“If we come into another year of<br />

drought, that cow slaughter will be<br />

different because we have nowhere<br />

to go with cows. <strong>The</strong>y will have to<br />

come to town to be slaughtered,” he<br />

said.<br />

However, Perillat anticipates profitability<br />

in the cow-calf sector <strong>and</strong><br />

thinks producers would consider<br />

keeping heifers for breeding, not<br />

slaughter, if conditions are good.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were 35.5 million cows in the<br />

U.S. in 1996. That has since dropped<br />

to 29.7 million.<br />

However, carcass weights are growing<br />

, making up for fewer cows.<br />

<strong>The</strong> average carcass will be 833 lb.<br />

next year compared to 670 lb. in 1980<br />

because of more productive cows<br />

<strong>and</strong> growth promotants.<br />

“Increasing weights offset 75 percent<br />

of the declining cow herd over<br />

the last 20 years,” Lenz said.<br />

Japan was once a promising market,<br />

but consumption is flat. <strong>The</strong><br />

economy is stagnant <strong>and</strong> beef is<br />

more expensive than other meats.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> return to beef may not be as<br />

ambitious as we once thought.”<br />

Canadian beef exports to Japan<br />

might improve if that country<br />

changed its food safety rule to accept<br />

beef from cattle younger than 30<br />

months rather than 21 months,<br />

Brocklebank said.<br />

South Korea granted Canada access<br />

earlier this year. Beef consumption is<br />

up <strong>and</strong> the herd is shrinking, which<br />

encourages imports.<br />

However, the U.S. saturated the<br />

market when it signed a free trade<br />

agreement earlier in the year.<br />

Canada struggles without a similar<br />

agreement.<br />

CANFAX FORUM | INTERNATIONAL<br />

Dairy culls<br />

make India<br />

leading beef<br />

exporter<br />

<strong>The</strong> global beef industry has<br />

changed a lot in the last five years as<br />

India unexpectedly emerged as a<br />

major exporter.<br />

“It is number four <strong>and</strong> could move<br />

up to number one or two very shortly<br />

<strong>and</strong> this is not going to diminish,” said<br />

Andrea Brocklebank, head of<br />

research for Canfax.<br />

Most Indian beef comes from water<br />

buffalo <strong>and</strong> dairy cattle. Southeast<br />

Asia <strong>and</strong> the North Africa-Middle<br />

East regions are India’s main beef<br />

export markets, she said at Canfax’s<br />

market forum in Calgary Nov. 14.<br />

Australia, the United States <strong>and</strong><br />

Brazil are the top three exporters.<br />

Canada is in fifth place.<br />

Much of the growth in India is driven<br />

by increased milk production. <strong>The</strong><br />

National Dairy Plan calls for milk<br />

production to increase by six million<br />

tonnes a year for the next five years.<br />

Twelve new meat processing plants<br />

are being built to h<strong>and</strong>le the extra<br />

production. India’s biggest challenge<br />

is foot-<strong>and</strong>-mouth disease, which is<br />

controlled with vaccination. This<br />

affects market access.<br />

Brocklebank said the world’s cattle<br />

herds are shrinking <strong>and</strong> the beef supply<br />

has declined for 10 years.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is an expectation in 2013<br />

that the cattle inventories will decline<br />

a bit more, but it definitely has levelled<br />

off,” she said.<br />

Population sparks dem<strong>and</strong><br />

GIRA, the international data group,<br />

predicts a good future for the beef<br />

industry because of a growing world<br />

population <strong>and</strong> improved incomes. It<br />

projects a six percent increase in<br />

global beef consumption over the<br />

next 10 years.<br />

However, Brocklebank said bad<br />

weather <strong>and</strong> unexpected economic<br />

disruptions may play havoc with<br />

some of the projections.<br />

Food market analyst David Hughes<br />

of the Imperial College of London<br />

said perspective is needed when talking<br />

about global meat markets.<br />

Global meat consumption rose by<br />

16 million tonnes between 2007 <strong>and</strong><br />

2012. However, 10 million tonnes of<br />

that growth was for chicken.<br />

Growth is slow in mature markets<br />

such as Canada, the U.S. <strong>and</strong> the<br />

European Union, but this is where the<br />

wealthiest consumers live <strong>and</strong> they<br />

are likely to spend more on meat,<br />

even if they buy less.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> big spenders on groceries are<br />

all in the developed world,” he said.<br />

Marketers need to study the demographics<br />

of an aging population with<br />

smaller households <strong>and</strong> fewer<br />

babies. <strong>The</strong> last census showed more<br />

than half of Canadian households<br />

comprise one or two people. In the<br />

United Kingdom, 65 percent of<br />

households are this small.<br />

Plans to sell more to Japan should<br />

be reassessed. Japan has 130 million<br />

people, but by 2050, close to 40 percent<br />

of the population will be older<br />

than 65. Seniors tend to have less<br />

money <strong>and</strong> eat less.<br />

China is a growing economy but it<br />

would be unwise to over rely on it, he<br />

said.

Canola, soybeans give back gains won this year<br />

Reversal of fortune for oilseeds | Sad situation<br />

BY ED WHITE<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

So much for the myth of rock-solid<br />

vegetable oil dem<strong>and</strong> turning canola<br />

<strong>and</strong> soybeans into the big price<br />

queens of late 2012.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two crops have given back all<br />

the gains they won in this year’s rally<br />

sparked by the U.S. Midwest drought.<br />

January canola futures are struggling<br />

to stay above $13 per bushel <strong>and</strong> soybean<br />

futures have fallen to less than<br />

$14 per bu.<br />

At the same time, spring wheat<br />

futures are still 15 percent above<br />

where they were before the drought<br />

<strong>and</strong> corn is 40 percent higher.<br />

It’s a sad situation for farmers who<br />

hung onto their oilseeds, expecting<br />

that tight stocks <strong>and</strong> strong dem<strong>and</strong><br />

would lift values higher.<br />

“I’m a little surprised that we’ve<br />

been able to push below $14 here,”<br />

said analyst Rich Nelson of Allendale,<br />

Inc. of McHenry, Illinois.<br />

“In the big picture, the prospect of<br />

dem<strong>and</strong> staying this strong was<br />

maybe a little too optimistic.”<br />

North America’s oilseed markets<br />

were rocked by news last week that 10<br />

export shipments of U.S. soybeans<br />

had been cancelled. That destroyed<br />

the assumption of many analysts,<br />

traders <strong>and</strong> farmers that while crop<br />

buyers could cut back on cereal<br />

grains, they would not reduce oilseed<br />

purchases regardless of the high<br />

prices.<br />

Midwest drought had never<br />

occurred.<br />

Analyst Greg Kostal of Kostal Ag<br />

Consulting in Winnipeg said this is a<br />

story of North American oilseeds<br />

being way out of whack with the<br />

world market.<br />

“We’re reminded once again that<br />

canola is simply another oilseedconsuming<br />

choice,” said Kostal.<br />

Palm oil has been trading at a $250<br />

to $300 per tonne discount to canola<br />

oil <strong>and</strong> soybean oil, <strong>and</strong> that can’t go<br />

on forever.<br />

“That has some incremental<br />

dem<strong>and</strong>-changing behavior down<br />

the road,” said Kostal.<br />

Canadian export sales statistics<br />

aren’t as available or current as U.S.<br />

soybean numbers, but Kostal said<br />

he’s hearing that weakness is also<br />

appearing in overseas canola dem<strong>and</strong>.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> initiation of new export business<br />

has significantly slowed down,”<br />

said Kostal.<br />

“We’re just executing old business<br />

<strong>and</strong> the bulk of (present canola sales)<br />

is in the domestic crush.”<br />

News of improving growing conditions<br />

in South America are allowing<br />

anxious importers to back away from<br />

the U.S. market when planning late<br />

winter buying, with China expected to<br />

switch to cheaper South American<br />

soybeans when they become available.<br />

Kostal said the incoming Australian<br />

canola crop will probably pick up the<br />

U.S. supply might increase as cattle<br />

placed during the summer drought<br />

reach market weight.<br />

when the U.S. Department of Agriculture<br />

releases a much-watched<br />

Soybeans might not be hurt by the<br />

WPEDITORIAL OPINION<br />

GRAIN DEALERS | BOND PROTECTION<br />

Payment guarantee system<br />

essential to protect farmers<br />

Many in the grain industry are<br />

raising questions about the<br />

value in forcing grain dealers to<br />

post bonds to ensure farmers are paid<br />

when companies become insolvent.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are right to do so.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Conservative government’s<br />

strong-arm tactics in rushing its lengthy<br />

<strong>and</strong> complex budget through Parliament<br />

without allowing enough time for<br />

proper oversight are troublesome, but<br />

the part of the bill that would change the<br />

Canada Grain Act should not be dismissed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> act now requires grain dealers to<br />

post bonds as insurance should they ever<br />

declare bankruptcy or seek protection<br />

from creditors.<br />

This bonding system adds onerous<br />

costs into the system, tying up muchneeded<br />

capital that could be better<br />

invested elsewhere. And there are serious<br />

doubts as to how effective it is in protecting<br />

farmers anyway.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re have been several situations in<br />

the past in which bonds held by insolvent<br />

companies have fallen short of the<br />

amounts needed to pay money owed to<br />

farmers.<br />

In some cases, farmers have been<br />

forced to accept payments worth only<br />

cents on the dollar for amounts owed.<br />

It’s time to explore other options.<br />

Having grain dealers take out private<br />

insurance offers one potential solution.<br />

This eliminates the need for companies<br />

to have a pool of money set aside at the<br />

ready for a bond.<br />

By most insider accounts, insurance<br />

would cost only a fraction of what companies<br />

now put up in the bonding system.<br />

This type of change has raised questions<br />

in the agriculture sector about<br />

who will pay the costs of the premiums.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are fears that grain companies<br />

would pass along the insurance costs to<br />

farmers.<br />

In reality, however, farmers are already<br />

paying those costs.<br />

As astute business operators, it’s safe to<br />

assume grain companies have found<br />

Scores of heavy hitters from the<br />

grain industry are meeting at<br />

a downtown Ottawa hotel this<br />

week to celebrate “the dawn of a new<br />

era in Canada’s grain industry.”<br />

Who could argue?<br />

It has been a tumultuous year in the<br />

grain industry, particularly on the<br />

Prairies: the most dramatic in decades<br />

if not the last half-century or more.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CWB monopoly is gone after 69<br />

ways to ensure that their operating costs,<br />

including bonding expenses, are covered<br />

in their fees <strong>and</strong> payment schedules.<br />

In fact, with a more effective <strong>and</strong> lower<br />

cost insurance scheme, farmers could<br />

become beneficiaries of some of the efficiencies.<br />

Clearing-house option<br />

Another option being circulated to<br />

reduce risk in grain sales is a clearinghouse<br />

model, similar to what is used at<br />

many stock <strong>and</strong> commodity exchanges.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se systems safely manage millions<br />

of dollars in deals between buyers <strong>and</strong><br />

sellers, <strong>and</strong> there is every reason to believe<br />

that a properly constructed <strong>and</strong><br />

managed system would work effectively<br />

for farmers delivering grain.<br />

A clearing house is a neutral entity that<br />

settles trading accounts, clears trades <strong>and</strong><br />

regulates delivery <strong>and</strong> payments. It acts<br />

as third party guarantor.<br />

At futures exchanges, all members are<br />

required at the end of each day to clear<br />

their trades <strong>and</strong> post enough money to<br />

cover their deals. <strong>The</strong> clearing house is<br />

responsible for fulfillment of all contracts.<br />

<strong>The</strong> finer details of how this type of system<br />

would work for grain deliveries<br />

would have to be worked out, but it is not<br />

difficult to see how something similar<br />

could fit the bill.<br />

One possible drawback of whatever<br />

system is in place is that farmers would<br />

have a learning curve while they adjust.<br />

However, proper business practices,<br />

as well as awareness campaigns to<br />

ensure farmers know how best to protect<br />

themselves, should address those<br />

issues.<br />

Making the system m<strong>and</strong>atory for deals<br />

above a certain value would further<br />

ensure farmers aren’t left out of pocket.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re seems to be little to lose.<br />

years, the century-old Canadian<br />

Grain Commission is about to undergo<br />

a dramatic change in how it does<br />

business with more to come <strong>and</strong><br />

changes to the variety registration<br />

system are on the radar.<br />

So when the Canadian Grains Council/Grain<br />

Growers of Canada industry<br />

symposium opens this week, there is<br />

much on the plate. It has become the<br />

go-to national grain conference.<br />

A who’s who of the industry gathers,<br />

from the CWB <strong>and</strong> private grain company<br />

executives to trade negotiators,<br />

biofuel analysts <strong>and</strong> experts on government<br />

policy.<br />

A full plate of issues, you might say.<br />

Well, not quite.<br />

One of the key issues the industry<br />

has lobbied for over the years, an<br />

issue that has been featured at previous<br />

conferences, appears to be<br />

Why did the turkey<br />

cross the road?<br />

To prove it wasn’t<br />

chicken.<br />

absent this year.<br />

What ever happened to the promised<br />

federal legislation to legislate<br />

rail service st<strong>and</strong>ards for shippers?<br />

It seems to have fallen off the agenda.<br />

For more than a year, transport<br />

minister Denis Lebel has had a report<br />

on the rail service issue that indicates<br />

deep industry unhappiness about<br />

service <strong>and</strong> railway opposition to<br />

new regulations.<br />

For five months, the minister has<br />

had a report from former Alberta<br />

finance minister Jim Dinning, who<br />

recommended the two sides try to<br />

work things out through voluntary<br />

service agreements but who also<br />

acknowledged deep divisions.<br />

At the time, Lebel urged voluntary<br />

agreement but made it clear that legislation<br />

was in the works as a backstop<br />

to make sure carriers played by<br />

the rules.<br />

In June, Coalition of Rail Shippers<br />

chair Bob Ballantyne said the government<br />

had given notice that legislation<br />

was in the works. Shippers who<br />

argue that the power balance<br />

between carriers <strong>and</strong> shippers is too<br />

one-sided to produce a functional<br />

voluntary service agreement system<br />

were told to get their comments in by<br />

the end of July.<br />

“We expect legislation in the fall for<br />

sure,” he said in late June.<br />

Yet with the autumn session of Parliament<br />

due to end in three weeks,<br />

there has been no government indication<br />

of impending legislation.<br />

Regina Liberal MP Ralph Goodale<br />

can say he told us so.<br />

In the summer, the former agriculture<br />

minister predicted that railway<br />

lobbyists would use the summer to<br />

“stifle” any government move to create<br />

legislation.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y clearly hope this will go<br />

away.”<br />

As a veteran of railway lobbying<br />

during 13 years in Liberal governments,<br />

Goodale said the railways will<br />

try to delay legislation until the government<br />

loses interest.<br />

Lebel has three weeks to prove<br />

Goodale wrong, but so far he has<br />

shown little public interest in the file.<br />

And the grain industry meeting<br />

doesn’t even have it on the agenda.<br />

Perhaps organizers know that legislation<br />

is pending, but then wouldn’t<br />

the shipper meeting be a perfect<br />

place to announce it?<br />

Rail service seems to be a file that<br />

has slid off the radar of government<br />

priorities, which is odd for a government<br />

with a strong rural base.

B.T. CORN | GM VERSUS ORGANIC<br />

You can eat your bugs — <strong>and</strong> toxins, too<br />

BY CAMI RYAN AND ROB WAGER<br />

Science has led to increases in<br />

farm productivity <strong>and</strong> has<br />

helped farmers protect the<br />

environment. That’s why it’s such a<br />

shame when good science is maligned<br />

<strong>and</strong> poorly executed pseudoscience<br />

gets the spotlight.<br />

In his opinion piece Eat GM Corn?<br />

I’d Rather Eat Bugs, (Nov. 9th), NDP<br />

MP Alex Atamanenko delivers loads<br />

of misleading information. Here are<br />

a few counterpoints.<br />

Atamanenko says he’d rather eat<br />

bugs than B.t. corn, but fungal toxins,<br />

called fumoninins that follow bug<br />

damage on corn is a real health concern.<br />

Medical science has documented<br />

that fumonisin toxins can have devastating<br />

effects on a developing<br />

human fetus by blocking folic acid<br />

metabolism.<br />

Lack of folic acid can lead to terrible<br />

spinal cord defects in the baby.<br />

Research has been clear that B.t.<br />

corn has far less fumonisin than non-<br />

B.t. corn. A 2005 study in Italy found<br />

100 times lower fumonisin B1 levels<br />

in B.t. corn grown directly beside<br />

non-B.t. corn.<br />

In 2003, Great Britain’s Food St<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

Agency examined 30 corn<br />

imports, six of which were organic<br />

corn imports. All six organic corn<br />

imports failed the proposed st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

for fumonisin toxin. One had a<br />

toxin level almost 30 times the limit<br />

of 500 parts per million.<br />

It is quite evident that B.t. corn has<br />

significantly safer levels of fumonisin.<br />

Based on this fact alone, we are safer<br />

eating the GM corn than “the bugs.”<br />

Researchers take issue with an opinion piece slamming GM corn, saying<br />

it misrepresented good science <strong>and</strong> promoted a poor study. | FILE PHOTO<br />

However, Atamanenko can still<br />

choose the bugs, if he wishes, by eating<br />

organic corn where reduced toxin<br />

GM corn is prohibited.<br />

And how about industry <strong>and</strong> regulation?<br />

Industry manages trials <strong>and</strong><br />

testing of new crop varieties based<br />

on guidelines developed by Environment<br />

Canada, Health Canada<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Canadian Food Inspection<br />

Agency. It must adhere to strict science-based<br />

protocols.<br />

It’s important to note that industry<br />

doesn’t pay for “approvals” but bears<br />

the cost of all trials <strong>and</strong> tests. <strong>The</strong> alternative<br />

is for taxpayers to foot the bill.<br />

However, does Atamanenko sup-<br />

port providing the tax funds?<br />

Atamanenko refers to a recent scientific<br />

study, calling it “damning”<br />

evidence on the safety of GM foods.<br />

If anything, this study is a “damning”<br />

example of poorly executed<br />

science.<br />

Gilles-Eric Séralini in France<br />

claimed that rats fed genetically<br />

modified corn or exposed to glyphosate<br />

suffered tumours <strong>and</strong> multiple<br />

organ damage.<br />

But the real scientists, including<br />

those in Europe, immediately refuted<br />

these claims.<br />

Séralini’s study was more an exercise<br />

in media manipulation than an<br />

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 22, 2012<br />

example of rigorous scientific work.<br />

Using a well-constructed public relations<br />

strategy <strong>and</strong> backed by anti-<br />

GM organizations, Séralini pushed<br />

this study into the media spotlight<br />

along with his personal agenda.<br />

It’s no coincidence that he launched<br />

an anti-GM book <strong>and</strong> a movie that<br />

same week. It appears as if the goal of<br />

the study was to “prove” something<br />

rather than to objectively “investigate”<br />

something.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are key problems with this<br />

study:<br />

• Séralini did not disclose that the rat<br />

breed used as a model for the study<br />

had a genetic pre-disposition for<br />

getting tumours.<br />

• Séralini refused to release the<br />

methods <strong>and</strong> data that allow other<br />

scientists to replicate the work.<br />

Independent research scientists —<br />

“real” scientists, not lobbyists — <strong>and</strong><br />

reputable food safety organizations<br />

have discredited the Séralini study,<br />

pointing out its many flaws. In short,<br />

Séralini’s work is an example of how<br />

“bad science” can get “good legs” in<br />

the media.<br />

Atamanenko takes a biased position<br />

here, misrepresenting good science<br />

<strong>and</strong> promoting poor science.<br />

It’s just politically motivated propag<strong>and</strong>a.<br />

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK | PREDICTIONS<br />

Crystal ball delivers cloudy picture of ag future<br />

HURSH ON AG<br />

KEVIN HURSH<br />

As a consultant- journalist-farmer,<br />

I’ve offered lots of opinions<br />

over the years. Looking back,<br />

some have been spectacularly<br />

wrong.<br />

Farmers naturally want analysis of<br />

the current trends in the industry,<br />

but they also want to hear extrapolations<br />

in an attempt to underst<strong>and</strong><br />

how the future might unfold.<br />

In the late 1990s, before PowerPoint<br />

presentations were reliable, I trucked<br />

an overhead projector to scores of<br />

farm meetings. One of my favourite<br />

pages listed the Top 10 uses for ab<strong>and</strong>oned<br />

grain terminals.<br />

You could use the side of a terminal<br />

for a drive-in theatre screen. You<br />

could use them for bungee jumping.<br />

You could grind them up into aggregate<br />

for use on gravel roads.<br />

Those were the years of Saskatchewan<br />

Wheat Pool’s Project Horizon.<br />

New concrete elevators were going<br />

up everywhere. Other companies<br />

were also in the game <strong>and</strong> lots of<br />

farmer-owned terminals were being<br />

built.<br />

I bought shares in a farmer-owned<br />

terminal, but when competitors built<br />

six new concrete terminals in the<br />

area, I didn’t think there would be<br />

enough export grain to see them all<br />

thrive.<br />

As the big concrete <strong>and</strong> steel terminals<br />

went up, the old wooden elevators<br />

came down, but it appeared that<br />

the grain h<strong>and</strong>ling system was being<br />

dramatically overbuilt. After all, the<br />

big terminals need a lot of throughput<br />

to make them viable.<br />

At the time, it seemed plausible that<br />

<strong>Western</strong> Canada was going to see<br />

reduced grain exports. Being l<strong>and</strong>locked,<br />

our freight bill to port position<br />

puts us at a disadvantage compared<br />

to most competitors. Farml<strong>and</strong><br />

was being converted to hay <strong>and</strong><br />

pasture because cattle were profit-<br />

able <strong>and</strong> grain was not.<br />

Besides, I reasoned, our crop mix<br />

was going to be more heavily weighted<br />

to specialty grain that wouldn’t go<br />

through large concrete terminals.<br />

And more of our grain would be fed to<br />

livestock or receive secondary processing<br />

on the Prairies. That seemed<br />

logical given the end of the Crow rate<br />

grain transportation subsidy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> trouble with predictions is that<br />

you don’t know what you don’t know.<br />

Who could have predicted BSE in<br />

2003 <strong>and</strong> the years of resulting turmoil<br />

in the beef industry? Even<br />

though profitability has finally<br />

returned to the cow-calf industry, the<br />

beef breeding herd has continued to<br />

decline.<br />

Who could have predicted so many<br />

tough years for the hog industry?<br />

Rather than a Top 10 list for ab<strong>and</strong>oned<br />

grain terminals, it should have<br />

been a list of uses for ab<strong>and</strong>oned hog<br />

barns.<br />

Canola crushing has been <strong>Western</strong><br />

Canada’s largest success in adding<br />

value. About half of the canola crop<br />

goes to domestic crushers, but<br />

there’s still ample grain volume<br />

through the big terminals. Field peas<br />

used to be reserved for specialty crop<br />

operations, but many terminals now<br />

h<strong>and</strong>le peas. Some even export red<br />

lentils.<br />

Crop yields continue to grow, <strong>and</strong><br />

we’re using more crop inputs than<br />

ever. <strong>The</strong> industry is enjoying its<br />

greatest profitability since the 1970s.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re aren’t any ab<strong>and</strong>oned concrete<br />

terminals. Anyone wanting to<br />

sell a terminal would have lots of<br />

suitors.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se days, farm audiences want to<br />

know the future of l<strong>and</strong> prices. Are<br />

the increases sustainable? What will<br />

happen with interest rates? Will the<br />

growing world population <strong>and</strong> the<br />

VALUE-ADDED | PUBLIC MONEY<br />

Good times roll<br />

for value-added<br />

businesses<br />

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK<br />

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR<br />

We recently published an op-<br />

ed by Michael Holden with<br />

the Canada West Foundation,<br />

who asked why we always talk<br />

about diversification when times are<br />

bad.<br />

Excellent question. We should be<br />

talking about it when times are good,<br />

when stuff like building buildings<br />

<strong>and</strong> buying machinery is actually<br />

affordable.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, points go to the Saskatchewan<br />

government for discussing<br />

value-adding now, when agriculture<br />

has become ascendant <strong>and</strong> is even<br />

quite sexy. Sexy industries attract<br />

investment; moribund ones, not so<br />

much.<br />

Premier Brad Wall, in his vision for<br />

the province, said he wants ag<br />

exports to rise to $15 billion by 2020,<br />

up from $10 billion today. To achieve<br />

these stellar numbers, he wants to<br />

see investment in research <strong>and</strong> innovation,<br />

irrigation <strong>and</strong> value-added<br />

processing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> government has committed<br />

$20 million toward research in its latest<br />

budget, up 50 percent since 2007.<br />

About $30 million from both levels of<br />

government has gone into irrigation.<br />

Value-adding, however, apart from<br />

a couple of programs such as Saskatchewan<br />

Agri-Value Initiative for<br />

smaller businesses, receives little<br />

direct money.<br />

After a recent speech delivered to<br />

the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of<br />

Commerce, agriculture minister Lyle<br />

Stewart noted that most value-added<br />

investment would come from business.<br />

Government support is likely to<br />

come through tax relief <strong>and</strong> infrastructure.<br />

It might be the right<br />

approach. Past public sector investments<br />

into hogs <strong>and</strong> potatoes have<br />

certainly gone awry, at least from a<br />

taxpayer’s perspective.<br />

And, as Stewart rightly points out,<br />

there is more value-added business in<br />

Saskatchewan than ever before, notably<br />

canola crushers <strong>and</strong> pulse processors.<br />

Cargill, for example, hardly<br />

needs pittances from the government<br />

to support its business plans.<br />

Such value-added initiatives have<br />

indeed come from industry, although<br />

if Keith Downey <strong>and</strong> his crew had not<br />

created canola, there would be nothing<br />

to add value to. If you look at it<br />

that way, investing in research <strong>and</strong><br />

waiting for business to commercialize<br />

the product makes sense.<br />

However, while agriculture in Saskatchewan<br />

is sexy right now, so it is in<br />

Manitoba, Alberta <strong>and</strong> the United<br />

States. Saskatchewan may have to be<br />

aggressive — <strong>and</strong> innovative — in<br />

attracting more value-added investment<br />

dollars.

MEGA-FARM REVOLUTIONS?<br />

To the Editor:<br />

I noticed your recent articles about<br />

mega-farms. We have them here, too.<br />

<strong>The</strong> inheritance tax was written to<br />

control them; it didn’t. Either some<br />

drastic measures must be taken or<br />

revolutions may result. Going back in<br />

history, mega-farms contributed to<br />

most of the revolutions I studied in<br />

history.<br />

We will start with the French Revolution.<br />

Most of the good farml<strong>and</strong><br />

was owned by the rich, mostly kings’<br />

favourites. <strong>The</strong> work was done by the<br />

serfs. If the l<strong>and</strong> was sold, the serf was<br />

sold, too. <strong>The</strong> owners mostly lived in<br />

cities <strong>and</strong> never went near the farms<br />

OPEN FORUM<br />

except to hunt or collect rents.<br />

Some big plantation owners lived<br />

in Engl<strong>and</strong> before the American<br />

Revolution. Most of them weren’t<br />

broken up at the end of the war as<br />

there was a lot of open l<strong>and</strong>. For the<br />

most part, the absentee l<strong>and</strong>lords<br />

were replaced.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Irish Revolution was another.<br />

<strong>The</strong> communist takeover was made<br />

much easier as the Russian nobility<br />

owned much of the l<strong>and</strong> as megafarms.<br />

That was so common a poet<br />

wrote a poem about it, Noblesse<br />

Oblige. Its theme was the owners<br />

were not productive, as they did no<br />

work.<br />

<strong>The</strong> l<strong>and</strong>owners were not productive,<br />

<strong>and</strong> only babies have the right to<br />

produce nothing, was the only line I<br />

5525 CL CRUSHES<br />

NEXERA 2012 CL<br />

5525 CL<br />

BETTER YIELD, BETTER NET AND<br />

COMPLETE MARKETING FLEXIBILITY<br />

5525 CL is a yield-leading variety in all canola production<br />

systems, delivering outst<strong>and</strong>ing net returns while you<br />

retain complete marketing flexibility. Head-to-head in the<br />

2011 Canola Performance Trials mid-season zone, 5525 CL<br />

out-yielded Nexera ® 2012 by an average of 8 bu/ac 1 .<br />

<strong>The</strong> result: $50.36 1 per acre more in farmers’ pockets<br />

even after specialty oil premiums. With the freedom to<br />

market 5525 CL anywhere, <strong>and</strong> high net returns, 5525 CL<br />

crushes the competition.<br />

In the end, it all comes down to performance <strong>and</strong><br />

BrettYoung brings a new st<strong>and</strong>ard of excellence to<br />

the field.<br />

remember from that poem.<br />

Unless my memory fails me, a<br />

Canadian l<strong>and</strong>owner has to live in<br />

Canada, be a citizen of Canada, or if<br />

he is not a citizen, have citizenship<br />

applied for, <strong>and</strong> follow through in a<br />

reasonable length of time. I know<br />

four people who lost their Canadian<br />

l<strong>and</strong> because of this law, or so they<br />

said. Three of them are dead.<br />

Yes, mega-farms are a problem to<br />

Canada, but no match for the ones in<br />

the U.S. Our farm program helps the<br />

big farmers more than the mediumsized<br />

ones. I think it is a good time to<br />

be old if you are a U.S. citizen.<br />

And then, we have the death tax. It<br />

really is hard to pay for the farm every<br />

generation. What is wrong with the<br />

death tax is the rich people don’t<br />

LEADING US WHERE?<br />

To the Editor:<br />

I never thought I’d say this, but I may<br />

be lucky to be living in a riding represented<br />

by a member of Parliament on<br />

the government side — Conservative<br />

Robert Sopuck, Dauphin-Swan River-<br />

Marquette — after all.<br />

I say this because the government<br />

Mr. Sopuck represents, under Stephen<br />

Harper, has decided the Assiniboine<br />

River, one of millions of lakes,<br />

rivers <strong>and</strong> streams in Canada, is<br />

among the very few designated as<br />

protected under its new Navigation<br />

Protection Act. It happens to flow<br />

through Mr. Sopuck’s riding, not far<br />

from where I live.<br />

This protection means that ice fishers,<br />

anglers <strong>and</strong> pleasure boaters will<br />

keep their historic right, which dates<br />

back to Sir John A. (Macdonald) himself,<br />

to navigate the river without<br />

being obstructed by any more bridges,<br />

mining or forestry equipment,<br />

pipelines or dams.<br />

At least, any proposed new infrastructure<br />

of this kind will need a permit<br />

from Ottawa. That apparently<br />

won’t be the case for all those unprotected<br />

waterways. <strong>The</strong>y, by contrast,<br />

will be wide open for business. And,<br />

according to the opposition, the vast<br />

majority of those are said to fall<br />

within non-government ridings.<br />

So, as you may have guessed by<br />

now, I speak with tongue in cheek.<br />

In fact, this kind of thing simply<br />

reeks of patronage, cynicism <strong>and</strong><br />

hypocrisy — a shoddy new low, even<br />

for the Harperites.<br />

It exposes for all to see that the<br />

“cloak of green” Mr. Sopuck likes to<br />

put on to cleverly disguise himself as<br />

an environmentalist is now threadbare<br />

— as is Mr. Harper’s pledge in his<br />

election victory speech to be “a leader<br />

for all Canadians.”<br />

CONSERVATIVE GRATITUDE<br />

To the Editor:<br />

Thanks to prime minister Stephen<br />

Harper <strong>and</strong> minister of agriculture<br />

Garry Ritz, we now have the Conservative<br />

Wheat Board, all political<br />

appointees, since all our elected<br />

farmer directors were fired. <strong>The</strong><br />

farmers for Just Us seem to think they<br />

have marketing freedom. What a<br />

farce. We are now all slaves to the<br />

vagaries of a fluctuating market.<br />

Other things for which we can be<br />

thankful to our government: austerity<br />

measures; funding was cut for<br />

MEAT CHOICES<br />

To the Editor:<br />

On a recent trip to a grocery store in<br />

Morinville, Alta., I observed a lady<br />

next to me buying two dozen or more<br />

packages of wieners. <strong>The</strong> cashier<br />

asked if they were on sale, since she<br />

had so many.<br />

SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES<br />

<strong>The</strong> men in one small community<br />

looked forward to the seasonal<br />

bake sale at the church.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y knew the ladies had a table full<br />

of goodies set aside just for them.<br />

Through the years, they knew that<br />

Sarah made the best molasses cookies,<br />

Nellie’s cheese moons just<br />

couldn’t be beat <strong>and</strong> Dorothy’s syrup<br />

tarts were to die for.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ladies knew that the best way to<br />

the men’s hearts, <strong>and</strong> pocketbooks,<br />

was through these delectable offerings.<br />

This was a most successful<br />

enterprise.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sunday school fundraiser was<br />

a rollicking success. Youth group<br />

members <strong>and</strong> their dads were in the<br />

basement working on a nativity display.<br />

Upstairs they had a comic book<br />

<strong>and</strong> toy exchange <strong>and</strong> offered to help<br />

the elderly collect the mail, get groceries<br />

<strong>and</strong> shovel their walks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tea-drinking guests quickly<br />

offered to help as young servers tried<br />

to get the full cups of tea to their<br />

guests without spills.<br />

Meanwhile, a few young enthusiasts<br />

set out down main street to button-hole<br />

everyone with the query,<br />

“have you made your donation at the<br />

hall yet?”<br />

At another event, the youth group<br />

asked for a table so they could sell the<br />

bag of “popsicle plant-holders” they<br />

made. One salesman, looking rather<br />

bored, quietly watched folks drift by<br />

the table. Passersby convinced<br />

themselves they could support the<br />

kids by buying a couple of the $5<br />

items. By the end of the afternoon the<br />

storage bag was empty, <strong>and</strong> the kids<br />

were $250 richer.<br />

Dare we think beyond the immediate?<br />

Such community-building<br />

happenings instill a new sense of<br />

vitality <strong>and</strong> remind us of the resources<br />

that are too often hidden in<br />

plain view.<br />

“No,” was her reply. “<strong>The</strong>y are for<br />

the local food bank”.<br />

Just recently, Wildrose party leader<br />

Danielle Smith was in trouble for<br />

suggesting that surely some of the<br />

recalled beef from XL Foods could<br />

have been salvaged <strong>and</strong>, if cooked<br />

properly, could have been used to<br />

feed the hungry.<br />

Which is worse — feeding the poor<br />

hot dogs, i.e. wieners, laced with<br />

chemicals <strong>and</strong> nitrates <strong>and</strong> nitrites,<br />

which can cause colon <strong>and</strong> other<br />

cancers, or recalled beef, provided it<br />

is cooked properly? Not all the<br />

recalled beef was contaminated with<br />

E. coli <strong>and</strong> it could have been tested,<br />

I’m sure.<br />

On CBC’s Marketplace program<br />

Oct. 26, they were testing tenderized<br />

roasts <strong>and</strong> steaks done mechanically<br />

er or not it has been tenderized. It’s<br />

like playing Russian roulette buying<br />

fresh meat in any grocery chain in<br />

Canada.<br />

DIRTY TRICKS<br />

To the Editor:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Oct. 25 issue of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Western</strong><br />

<strong>Producer</strong> contained a letter entitled<br />

Paper Wheat. <strong>The</strong>re will be readers<br />

who remember the well-produced<br />

<strong>and</strong> well-acted play Paper Wheat,<br />

which toured Saskatchewan more<br />

than once. It was written around<br />

early farmers’ struggle to get out from<br />

under the grip of the private grain<br />

companies <strong>and</strong> create their own co-<br />

operatives, such as the late, once<br />

highly respected wheat pools.<br />

Aside from the fact that farmers are<br />

often their own worst enemies, there<br />

have been many dirty tricks pulled<br />

on all facets of farming these last few<br />

years, <strong>and</strong> this will likely continue<br />

since the few farmers left have little<br />

political power <strong>and</strong> little cohesiveness.<br />

If another up-to-date play were<br />

written, I would suggest the title<br />

Yes, I was aware of the fee, for they<br />

audacity of a business to charge it to<br />

their customer. Fathom this: a person<br />

going into a Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart<br />

maybe $200,000 worth of business,<br />

seem this may be occurring, for during<br />

small crowd. It would seem they<br />

stayed home.<br />

KEYSTONE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS | PROPOSED ASSOCIATION<br />

Manitoba growers surveyed on commodity group preferences<br />

Joint or separate organizations? | Steering committee consults farmers on proposed wheat <strong>and</strong> barley growers association<br />

BY ROBERT ARNASON<br />

BRANDON BUREAU<br />

<strong>The</strong> leaders of a proposed wheat<br />

<strong>and</strong> barley growers association in<br />

Manitoba will soon know if farmers<br />

want one or two organizations to<br />

represent cereal producers in the<br />

province.<br />

A steering committee led by Keystone<br />

Agricultural <strong>Producer</strong>s sent a<br />

survey to 500 Manitoba growers this<br />

fall on the proposed association, said<br />

James Battershill, KAP policy analyst,<br />

who is leading the development of<br />

the new organization.<br />

<strong>The</strong> survey results are expected in<br />

D3152<br />

December <strong>and</strong> if a sufficient number<br />

of growers support the concept of a<br />

dual association, the organization<br />

could begin collecting a checkoff by<br />

Aug. 1, 2013.<br />

At this point, it’s not known if growers<br />

want a joint association or two<br />

separate organizations for wheat <strong>and</strong><br />

barley, Battershill said.<br />

Speaking to 25 producers at a<br />

KAP meeting in Br<strong>and</strong>on in mid-<br />

November, Battershill said a growers<br />

association is needed to ensure<br />

that Manitoba producers have a<br />

say in breeding programs <strong>and</strong> varietal<br />

development for wheat <strong>and</strong><br />

barley.<br />

D3153<br />

For example, Manitoba wheat<br />

growers need more varieties with<br />

fusarium resistance, he said.<br />

However, the m<strong>and</strong>ate of the proposed<br />

wheat <strong>and</strong> barley association,<br />

assuming growers support a joint<br />

organization, is not defined, Battershill<br />

said.<br />

“Were not entirely comfortable<br />

making statements (on) exactly what<br />

this organization is going to do,” he<br />

said. “That’s going to be up to the<br />

interim board of directors, who represent<br />

the growing industry as a<br />

whole.”<br />

If the survey results are positive, the<br />

steering committee will appoint an<br />

NEW<br />

interim board of directors for the<br />

association. <strong>The</strong> board will define<br />

the organization’s structure <strong>and</strong> priorities,<br />

Battershill said.<br />

At an Oct. 25 KAP meeting in Portage<br />

la Prairie, some producers<br />

raised concerns about the m<strong>and</strong>ate<br />

of the proposed organization. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

said growers associations often start<br />

out dispersing check-off dollars but<br />

evolve into agricultural lobby groups.<br />

Battershill has heard the concerns<br />

but it’s not easy to draw a clear distinction<br />

between lobbying <strong>and</strong> dispersing<br />

check-off dollars to research<br />

<strong>and</strong> market development.<br />

“In terms of being an aggressive<br />

devastating disease. And new D3154S has the Pioneer Protector ® Sclerotinia trait for built-in protection.<br />

D-Series canola hybrids are available exclusively from select independent <strong>and</strong> Co-op retailers <strong>and</strong> are backed with<br />

lobby group, the way KAP is, I don’t<br />

think it’s ever envisioned that any of<br />

the commodity groups would be<br />

pursuing that explicitly,” he said. “In<br />

terms of market development…<br />

(there) is a huge element that crosses<br />

the line into the policy realm.…. In<br />

the absence of the Canadian Wheat<br />

Board representing all western<br />

Canadian wheat <strong>and</strong> barley producers,<br />

there is a void there for international<br />

market development.”<br />

At the KAP meeting in Br<strong>and</strong>on,<br />

Battershill provided a few possible<br />

figures for the checkoffs, such as 52<br />

AGRIBITION | FUNDING<br />

Funds pledged<br />

to Regina event<br />

Promotion, tracking funded<br />

BY KAREN BRIERE<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />

<strong>The</strong> federal <strong>and</strong> provincial governments<br />

kicked off Canadian <strong>Western</strong><br />

Agribition Nov. 19 by announcing<br />

several financial commitments to the<br />

annual Regina show <strong>and</strong> officially<br />

opening a refurbished commercial<br />

cattle barn.<br />

David Anderson, parliamentary<br />

secretary to the federal natural<br />

resources minister <strong>and</strong> for the Canadian<br />

Wheat Board, said $147,000<br />

through the AgriMarketing Program<br />

would help the show promote itself<br />

in foreign markets <strong>and</strong> beef up its<br />

International Business Centre.<br />

He also announced $100,000 under<br />

the Livestock Auction Traceability<br />

Initiative “to assist show organizers<br />

to track movement of livestock.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> money is used to ensure all<br />

animals at Agribition have radio frequency<br />

identification tags <strong>and</strong> that<br />

their movement entering <strong>and</strong> leaving<br />

the show is tracked with mobile readers.<br />

Anderson said Canada is a leader in<br />

traceability <strong>and</strong> the practice is critical<br />

to maintaining international market<br />

access.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Saskatchewan government<br />

announced $56,000 for Agribition’s<br />

new Incoming Buyers Program. <strong>The</strong><br />

money comes from the agriculture<br />

ministry’s International Market<br />

Development Program.<br />

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart<br />

said the money, which leveraged<br />

additional support from the Alberta<br />

Livestock <strong>and</strong> Meat Agency <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Canadian Beef Breeds Council for a<br />

total $111,500, will provide travel<br />

incentives for international guests.<br />

He said the government recently<br />

announced its intention to increase<br />

Agribition has a role to play in that.<br />

Helping pre-qualified buyers with up<br />

to 50 percent of their costs of getting to<br />

million a year usually,” Stewart said.<br />

“Other major shows of this magnitude<br />

have similar programs.”<br />

About 140,000 people attend the<br />

are expected this year.


CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON MARKETING<br />

BY KAREN BRIERE<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />

Saskatoon chef Anthony McCarthy<br />

waved a glossy brochure in front of<br />

the room full of bison producers <strong>and</strong><br />

wondered why he’d never seen it<br />

before.<br />

If people like him, who know how to<br />

prepare bison <strong>and</strong> can introduce it to<br />

new consumers through restaurants,<br />

haven’t seen the professionally done<br />

brochures <strong>and</strong> recipe cards, then<br />

who has, he asked the Canadian<br />

Bison Association’s annual convention<br />

in Regina Nov. 18.<br />

“You’ve done the homework,” he<br />

said. “You’ve spent the money.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canadian restaurant industry<br />

does $63 billion in annual sales, or<br />

almost four percent of the country’s<br />

economic activity, McCarthy said.<br />

Hot trends include locally sourced,<br />

sustainably produced food that is<br />

simple <strong>and</strong> can be farm-br<strong>and</strong>ed.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re’s no reason why bison<br />

couldn’t be a hot trend,” he said.<br />

However, when he informally surveyed<br />

15 chefs across Canada, not<br />

one of them said they included bison<br />

cuts on their regular menus. Some of<br />

them occasionally feature bison as a<br />

premium product.<br />

He said the chefs he talked to<br />

identified several benefits of bison<br />

meat:<br />

• it is lean <strong>and</strong> healthy<br />

• customers like it<br />

• it adds to the dem<strong>and</strong> for local<br />

product<br />

• it is a beef alternative<br />

McCarthy, who is executive chef at<br />

the Saskatoon Club, said there is also<br />

a move toward what he calls rustic or<br />

artisan food such as stew. Bison is a<br />

good fit for that type of meal.<br />

He said the chefs he talked to identified<br />

the biggest issues as price <strong>and</strong><br />

availability of fresh product.<br />

He called his own suppliers <strong>and</strong><br />

none of those he deals with had bison<br />

meat.<br />

Saskatchewan producer Hubert<br />

Esquirol said he understood that<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s told to zero in on chefs to get bison on menu<br />

Educate restaurants <strong>and</strong> hotels | Chef says bison could be a hot item if health benefits are properly marketed<br />

bison wasn’t available from suppliers<br />

because the volume of sales at restaurants<br />

didn’t justify selling it, particularly<br />

when the meat would have<br />

to be frozen to keep it longer.<br />

McCarthy said packaging to keep<br />

food fresher longer is so much better<br />

now that it might not be as big an<br />

issue. For example, bison steaks in<br />

individual cryovac packages would<br />

be more appealing for chefs’ use, he<br />

said.<br />

An Alberta producer said that one<br />

chef now buys an entire animal <strong>and</strong><br />

uses the entire carcass. Bison broth<br />

has replaced beef broth to help keep<br />

the bison costs in line.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> biggest problem is going to be<br />

finding a chef who will use it all,”<br />

McCarthy said.<br />

“Storage space is going to be his biggest<br />

headache.”<br />

Bison is more expensive than beef<br />

for restaurants to buy <strong>and</strong> consequently<br />

a more expensive menu<br />

item.<br />

One producer asked if consumers<br />

were starting to think more about<br />

their health <strong>and</strong> were willing to pay<br />

the premium for bison because of the<br />

benefits.<br />

McCarthy said it was likely that cer-<br />

tain customers do, but chefs also<br />

need to know more about bison,<br />

which is where producers <strong>and</strong> the<br />

CBA could help.<br />

His informal survey identified poor<br />

marketing to chefs as a concern.<br />

He said there are 28 regional<br />

branches of the Canadian Culinary<br />

Federation that producers could<br />

help educate. As well, chefs at restaurants<br />

<strong>and</strong> hotels are usually willing to<br />

meet with producers.<br />

“Get an appointment with the chef<br />

<strong>and</strong> take a steak,” he said. “Or go with<br />

your meat rep.”<br />

He said chefs like to put farm names<br />

15<br />

on menus <strong>and</strong> learn about how the<br />

food was produced so that they can<br />

tell their guests.<br />

Murray Woodbury, the specialized<br />

livestock health <strong>and</strong> production<br />

research chair at the <strong>Western</strong> College<br />

of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon,<br />

said chefs <strong>and</strong> consumers should be<br />

aware of the value they’re getting<br />

when they pay the premium price for<br />

bison.<br />

It takes only six weeks to get a<br />

chicken to market compared to two<br />

years for bison.<br />

“You’ve got to look at what you’re<br />

getting, not just what it costs,” he said.

CARMAN, Man. — Farmers aren’t<br />

good sides of agriculture.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y not only live in areas isolated<br />

from cities but also have trouble<br />

overcoming shyness <strong>and</strong> a self-deprecating<br />

sense of humour.<br />

When asked at an early-November<br />

Manitoba Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s meeting to<br />

describe why they are committed to<br />

farming, producers had trouble<br />

being positive about their profession.<br />

“Because I’m not too bright,” joked<br />

one Manitoba cattle producer.<br />

“I quit school too early,” quipped<br />

another, as farmers in the room<br />

laughed.<br />

CARMAN, Man. — Bovine tuberculosis<br />

around Riding Mountain<br />

National Park hasn’t gone away, but<br />

However, an effort is underway<br />

“We need to talk about what you do<br />

for the environment,” said Manitoba<br />

Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s general manager<br />

“We need to talk about what you do<br />

for animal welfare. We need to have a<br />

<strong>and</strong> I would rather have you<br />

answer those questions than PETA<br />

A few farmers were convinced during<br />

video recorded as they described<br />

why they farmed <strong>and</strong> how they felt<br />

the situation seems to be improving,<br />

says Manitoba Beef <strong>Producer</strong>s.<br />

that live in the nearly 100 kilometre<br />

long national park, <strong>and</strong> eradication<br />

efforts are better co-ordinated.<br />

Bovine TB has caused anxiety for<br />

hundreds of cattle producers living<br />

along the park’s boundary.<br />

Elk <strong>and</strong> deer in the park carry the<br />

disease, but it hasn’t been easy to<br />

determine which groups are infected<br />

<strong>and</strong> how to eliminate them.<br />

<strong>The</strong> disease has been described as a<br />

problem for the entire Canadian cattle<br />

industry because it could lose the<br />

U.S. market if an outbreak caused the<br />

American government to take action.<br />

Farmers living on the edge of the<br />

park regularly test their cattle for TB<br />

exposure <strong>and</strong> move their livestock<br />

into high-fenced enclosures in the<br />

fall <strong>and</strong> winter.<br />

Game fences also protect feed<br />

sources, <strong>and</strong> many farmers have<br />

moved their feeding yards away from<br />

the park in an attempt to minimize<br />

the chance of elk <strong>and</strong> deer coming<br />

into contact with their herds.<br />

MBP was also pleased when the<br />

Manitoba government lengthened<br />

the white-tailed deer hunting season<br />

around much of the park <strong>and</strong><br />

approved more tags for hunters.<br />

alarm among Canadian growers. Many are now left wondering<br />

moisture, humidity levels, crop canopy <strong>and</strong> past infection rates,<br />

problem too late.<br />

ORGANIC CONFERENCE | GROWERS DECLINE<br />

Organic growers declining; dem<strong>and</strong> rebounding<br />

Recession hits | Opportunities lie in organic soybean products, milk, yogurt <strong>and</strong> cereal, says trade official<br />

BY KAREN BRIERE<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />

<strong>The</strong> decline in the number of<br />

organic farmers, particularly in Saskatchewan,<br />

worries the Canadian<br />

Organic Trade Association.<br />

Executive director Matt Holmes<br />

told the recent Organic Connections<br />

conference in Regina that supply is<br />

already tight, <strong>and</strong> a smaller number<br />

of producers won’t help.<br />

Organic farm numbers declined<br />

nationally by 4.5 percent from 2009 to<br />

2010, he said.<br />

However, Saskatchewan saw a 16<br />

percent drop, which could hit 30 percent<br />

once the latest data is known.<br />

<strong>The</strong> province is home to about onethird<br />

of Canada’s organic farmers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> decline is happening while<br />

dem<strong>and</strong> continues to grow.<br />

Holmes said the recession negatively<br />

affected the entire food industry,<br />

but the organic sector, which is<br />

worth $59 billion globally, saw only a<br />

slowdown in rate of growth.<br />

This took pressure off organic suppliers,<br />

he added.<br />

Ninety-six percent of the global<br />

market is in North America <strong>and</strong> the<br />

European Union, but Holmes said<br />

North America hardly shows up on<br />

the map in terms of production.<br />

“South America, Australia <strong>and</strong><br />

Europe are far <strong>and</strong> away supplying a<br />

lot of that production,” he said.<br />

Countries that traditionally supply<br />

organic food are also becoming consumers,<br />

he added. For example,<br />

Brazil, India <strong>and</strong> China are developing<br />

a middle class that wants organic<br />

food.<br />

Canadians rank ninth in terms of<br />

per capita consumption of organic<br />

food, while Denmark <strong>and</strong> the United<br />

States are the leaders.<br />

Holmes said there are opportunities<br />

for Canadian growers <strong>and</strong> processors<br />

in areas such as soybean<br />

products, milk, yogurt <strong>and</strong> cereals.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se products top the list of the<br />

organic items that consumers buy.<br />

Holmes said he is concerned about<br />

the lack of quality Canadian data that<br />

can be used to make policy, production<br />

<strong>and</strong> marketing decisions.<br />

A 2007 study showed $1 billion in<br />

annual sales, which doubled to $2<br />

billion by the next year.<br />

However, a comprehensive study of<br />

the marketplace has not been conducted<br />

since 2009.<br />

COTA estimated the market was<br />

worth $2.6 billion in 2010, or 2.5 percent<br />

of total retail food sales.<br />

<strong>The</strong> association recently learned it<br />

would receive funding to conduct the<br />

first full organic market assessment<br />

since 2009. It will also include a look<br />

at who organic consumers are, where<br />

they live <strong>and</strong> where they shop.<br />

“We don’t even know what full production<br />

is because that changes<br />

pretty rapidly,” he said. “We’re trying<br />

to work with the government. We’re<br />

trying to work with the certifiers.”<br />

At the conference held Nov. 2-3,<br />

Holmes said he recently learned that<br />

Statistics Canada has proposed to no<br />

longer ask questions about organics<br />

in its agricultural census.<br />

“That’s unacceptable,” he said.<br />

ORGANIC CONFERENCE | PRODUCTION<br />

Organic system<br />

needs revamp,<br />

says experts<br />

Food production has to become<br />

more efficient, says permaculture<br />

advocate Rob Avis.<br />

“We need a remake of the entire<br />

system from the bottom,” he told the<br />

Organic Connections conference in<br />

Regina.<br />

Permaculture focuses on a regenerative<br />

system that weaves together<br />

all environmental <strong>and</strong> social aspects<br />

of food, water, shelter <strong>and</strong> waste.<br />

Avis of Verge Permaculture in Calgary<br />

said this would result in farms<br />

that provide net positive calories,<br />

run on solar energy, produce nutrient<br />

dense food, benefit topsoil,<br />

increase fertility <strong>and</strong> diversity,<br />

improve water quality, decrease<br />

pollution <strong>and</strong> provide habitat.<br />

He said the outputs of one system<br />

become the inputs of another, which<br />

is a pattern that nature has already<br />

perfected. However, the system that<br />

exists now is what he called an immature<br />

ecosystem that is low in diversity,<br />

highly competitive, leaks nutrients<br />

<strong>and</strong> focuses on annual plants.<br />

A mature, highly diversified system<br />

that uses perennial crops <strong>and</strong> recirculates<br />

nutrients is more desirable,<br />

he said.<br />

One example is a small three quarter<br />

acre farm in Kelowna, B.C., that<br />

supplies vegetables to restaurants<br />

<strong>and</strong> takes back the restaurant compost<br />

for fertilizer.<br />

Avis said urban centres could be<br />

producing more food than they are.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are 40 million acres of lawn in<br />

the United States compared to 45<br />

million acres of wheat.<br />

That l<strong>and</strong> could produce enough to<br />

feed every U.S. citizen 2,000 calories<br />

per day.<br />

Fred Kirschenmann, a holistic<br />

resource management advocate,<br />

said larger-scale farming should also<br />

focus on developing more perennial<br />

crops.<br />

“Nature doesn’t operate on a system<br />

of annuals,” he said.


ORGANIC CONFERENCE | TILLAGE<br />

BY KAREN BRIERE<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />

Soil shouldn’t be treated like dirt,<br />

says noted soil health expert Jill Clapperton,<br />

but that’s exactly what happens<br />

when it is tilled.<br />

“You have to remember that soil is a<br />

habitat,” she told the recent Organics<br />

Connection conference in Regina.<br />

“We want those bugs. We have to<br />

decrease tillage to keep animals in<br />

the soil.”<br />

Organic producers have traditionally<br />

relied on tillage for weed control,<br />

as did other farmers historically<br />

before turning to chemicals.<br />

Clapperton noted an Agriculture<br />

Canada document from 1944 that<br />

said soil lost 33 percent of organic<br />

matter as soon as it’s tilled.<br />

<strong>The</strong> underground ecosystem is<br />

designed to move nutrients up <strong>and</strong><br />

down. She said nematodes <strong>and</strong> protozoa<br />

don’t have burrowing capacity<br />

<strong>and</strong> rely on the soil structure created<br />

by other animals <strong>and</strong> plant root systems<br />

for transport.<br />

“We sever those connections when<br />

we do tillage,” Clapperton said.<br />

“Everything is connected.”<br />

However, she said that while many<br />

farmers recognize tillage isn’t good<br />

for the ecosystem underground, they<br />

don’t want to spray either.<br />

Clapperton advises her clients to<br />

use a disc drill, seeder or planter to<br />

cut through the soil without major<br />

disturbance. She also recommends<br />

cover crops, underseeded crops <strong>and</strong><br />

living mulches to help feed the soil<br />

<strong>and</strong> reduce tillage.<br />

For example, a farmer in Ontario<br />

seeded lentils <strong>and</strong> then seeded corn<br />

into the growing lentil crop. <strong>The</strong> lentils<br />

formed a myccorhizal relationship<br />

with the corn, pulling phosphorus<br />

into the plants.<br />

Clapperton said flax grows especially<br />

well in organic rotations <strong>and</strong><br />

can be seeded with clover or lentils.<br />

Underseeding option<br />

Another option is to underseed<br />

wheat to sweet clover. <strong>The</strong> sweet clover<br />

grows up after the wheat is harvested<br />

<strong>and</strong> displays “amazing herbicidal<br />

properties” as it lies flat, she<br />

said.<br />

Clapperton is also working with<br />

desi chickpeas, in particular underseeding<br />

wheat to desis.<br />

“Desis are a more wild type (of<br />

chickpea) that take up more phosphorus,<br />

are highly mycorrhizal <strong>and</strong><br />

stay on the ground,” she said.<br />

She used this system on her family’s<br />

Montana farm <strong>and</strong> achieved wheat<br />

yields of 40 bushels per acre in an<br />

area where the average is 34.<br />

<strong>The</strong> wheat <strong>and</strong> chickpeas were offset<br />

on a 12-inch row spacing. At harvest,<br />

none of the chickpeas ended up<br />

in the wheat, <strong>and</strong> the chickpeas were<br />

harvested later.<br />

“We got an excellent wheat yield<br />

<strong>and</strong> a really nice yield of chickpeas as<br />

well.”<br />

Clapperton said these types of systems<br />

work well for “recovering conventional<br />

farmers” who want to do<br />

right by their soil but aren’t necessarily<br />

at the point of organic.<br />

She is also working with subterranean<br />

clover, which grows only 2.5<br />

centimetres high, forms a mat <strong>and</strong><br />

outcompetes weeds, <strong>and</strong> flowers such<br />

as phacelia, cosmos <strong>and</strong> calendulas.<br />

<strong>The</strong> flowers are particularly useful<br />

for potato growers because they<br />

attract pollinators such as bees. Planting<br />

a row of flowers between every 10<br />

rows of potatoes can also control virus<br />

problems.<br />

“We do this in corn in Kansas <strong>and</strong><br />

Nebraska” to reduce insecticide use,<br />

Clapperton said at the Nov. 2-3 conference.<br />

Farmers might not like the look of<br />

crop mixes, she added, but they will<br />

find that their water use is more efficient<br />

<strong>and</strong> yields will improve.<br />

“What we can do with plants is outst<strong>and</strong>ing.”<br />

HEALTH & SAFETY | SOCIAL MEDIA<br />

BY ROBIN BOOKER<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

Part of growing up includes<br />

acquiring emotional aptitude <strong>and</strong><br />

taking responsibility for how others<br />

are affected by our actions.<br />

However, children <strong>and</strong> youth can<br />

be cruel to each other while they are<br />

maturing, as illustrated by the<br />

events leading up to the recent suicide<br />

of 15-year-old Am<strong>and</strong>a Todd<br />

in British Columbia.<br />

Public concerns over bullying<br />

seem to rise <strong>and</strong> fall in the wake of<br />

bullying related tragedies reported<br />

in the media.<br />

Todd’s suicide has received widespread<br />

interest largely because of the<br />

YouTube video she posted, which has<br />

been viewed millions of times, where<br />

she used flash cards to describe her<br />

experience of being bullied.<br />

<strong>The</strong> video provides a glimpse of the<br />

torment some young people face for<br />

people who are normally insolated<br />

from such harsh interactions.<br />

Also, much of the bullying<br />

occurred online <strong>and</strong> was easy for<br />

news agencies to find <strong>and</strong> report.<br />

Cyberbullying occurs when the<br />

internet, including social networking<br />

sites such as Facebook, is used<br />

to taunt <strong>and</strong> harm others.<br />

Online bullying is usually only<br />

part of a larger bullying campaign<br />

that victims face. So in many ways,<br />

it is an extension of the bullying that<br />

teachers, parents <strong>and</strong> police have<br />

always faced.<br />

Alex Moore, author of A Parents<br />

Guide to Cyberstalking <strong>and</strong> Cyberbullying,<br />

said bullying can be much<br />

harder for parents to detect when it<br />

occurs in the virtual world.<br />

“It is possible to monitor children’s<br />

online activity with a variety<br />

of parental control software <strong>and</strong><br />

apps,” Moore said. “However, the<br />

products available tend to be costly<br />

<strong>and</strong> are not user friendly.”<br />

It used to be easier to protect children<br />

from bullying.<br />

She said youngsters’ time spent<br />

away from home was always the<br />

wildcard but once in the safety of<br />

the home, parents could make sure<br />

their children were safe from emotional<br />

abuse <strong>and</strong> threats of violence<br />

from their peers.<br />

However, this is no longer the case<br />

as the increased reliance on digital<br />

communications erodes the<br />

home’s previous safe zone.<br />

In the past, children’s behaviour<br />

was at least somewhat monitored in<br />

most of the places they frequented.<br />

Moore said digital communications<br />

are largely unmonitored.<br />

H<strong>and</strong>held computing devices are<br />

cheap <strong>and</strong> need only a widely available<br />

WiFi signal to access free social<br />

media sites. As well, there are no<br />

Facebook hall monitors or text<br />

message <strong>referee</strong>s.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ability of teachers <strong>and</strong> principles<br />

to monitor <strong>and</strong> discipline<br />

students only goes so far in the<br />

cyber world.<br />

She said police say they need new<br />

legislation to help intervene <strong>and</strong><br />

investigate cyberbullying in Canada.<br />

However, police will not be able to<br />

intervene or prevent all cyberbullying<br />

cases regardless of the laws that<br />

are put in place. Many of them will<br />

be too subtle <strong>and</strong> fall within the<br />

parameters of any reasonable law.<br />

It is ultimately the parents’<br />

responsibility to make sure children<br />

are safe in cyberspaces. It is<br />

important for parents to have a<br />

strong relationship with their children<br />

<strong>and</strong> be able to notice when<br />

something is bothering them.<br />

Moore said it is impossible to prevent<br />

all cyberbully attacks, but it is<br />

vital that children know they<br />

should speak out about cyberbully-<br />

Cyberbullying can have deadly<br />

consequences for teens<br />

Old story, new setting | Social media like Facebook, Twitter can be used to intimidate kids<br />

ing when they see it happening.<br />

“Teach your children safety <strong>and</strong><br />

security measures … when it comes<br />

to interacting in social networks<br />

<strong>and</strong> online sites <strong>and</strong> advise them<br />

about the dangers of sharing too<br />

much personal information publicly,<br />

including photos, texts,<br />

tweets,” Moore said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> community of people within<br />

most public spheres hold each<br />

other accountable for their actions.<br />

It is indeed necessary for any community<br />

to self-regulate.<br />

However, young online communities<br />

struggle to maintain any sort<br />

of etiquette st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />

Moore said the internet’s anonymity<br />

allows some people to get<br />

away with behaviour they would<br />

not get away with in most communities,<br />

<strong>and</strong> children are often the<br />

targets of this normally unacceptable<br />

behaviour.<br />

Youngsters are increasingly fulfilling<br />

their needs for social connections<br />

<strong>and</strong> affirmations of worth<br />

through digital mediums such as<br />

social networking sites.<br />

However, she said children<br />

shouldn’t w<strong>and</strong>er the internet unsupervised<br />

have the skills to h<strong>and</strong>le themselves.<br />

HELP YOUR KIDS<br />

DEAL WITH CYBERBULLYING<br />

Cyberbullying is a conscious,<br />

deliberate online attack by one<br />

person or group against another.<br />

Help your child avoid becoming a<br />

target of cyberbullying:<br />

• Teach them to never post anything<br />

on the internet they wouldn’t<br />

want the world – including you –<br />

to read.<br />

• Talk to them about reaching out at<br />

the first sign of a threat, but don’t<br />

take for granted that your child<br />

will: only eight percent of teens<br />

who have been bullied online tell<br />

their parents about it.<br />

• Stay calm. Kids are reluctant to<br />

confide in their parents if they fear<br />

their parents will take away their<br />

internet or cellphone once they<br />

know what’s going on.<br />

• Teach your children to speak up<br />

if they notice others are being<br />

cyberbullied. Not reporting it<br />

is the same as approving it.<br />

Teach your children what to do if they<br />

encounter an online bully:<br />

• Stop interacting with the bully.<br />

Leave the area or stop the activity<br />

(i.e. chat room, online game,<br />

instant messaging, social networking<br />

site, etc.).<br />

• Block the sender’s messages.<br />

Never reply to harassing messages.<br />

• Talk to an adult. If the bullying<br />

includes physical threats, tell the<br />

police as well.<br />

• Save any harassing messages <strong>and</strong><br />

forward them to your internet service<br />

provider. Most service providers<br />

have appropriate use policies<br />

that restrict users from harassing<br />

others over the internet.<br />

Spices, pedigreed seed | Eskdale Seed Farm goes with the flow as markets change <strong>and</strong> prices rise<br />

BY ROBIN BOOKER<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

LEROSS, Sask. — <strong>The</strong> Heggie family<br />

has found themselves in the l<strong>and</strong><br />

reclamation business this fall.<br />

It was another wet year on the family’s<br />

Eskdale Seed Farm near Leross.<br />

With harvest complete <strong>and</strong> previously<br />

flooded areas dry, Robert Heggie<br />

<strong>and</strong> his two sons, Kyle <strong>and</strong> Joel,<br />

are trying to reclaim the 1,400 acres<br />

they were unable to seed this year on<br />

their 6,000 acre farm.<br />

Two European exchange workers<br />

are helping with the fieldwork <strong>and</strong><br />

drainage.<br />

Just down the hill from the home<br />

Heggie shares with his wife, Cres,<br />

three full-time employees are working<br />

in another part of the business<br />

— their seed cleaning plant.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plant has three separate cleaning<br />

lines: two dedicated to cleaning<br />

cori<strong>and</strong>er <strong>and</strong> caraway <strong>and</strong> another<br />

for cleaning pedigree seed, both<br />

what is grown on the Heggie farm<br />

<strong>and</strong> custom cleaning jobs, including<br />

organic.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plant began operating in 1981<br />

to clean seed for local farmers. Pulse<br />

crops for the export market were<br />

added in the late 1980s <strong>and</strong> cori<strong>and</strong>er<br />

<strong>and</strong> caraway arrived in the early<br />

1990s.<br />

<strong>The</strong> company tooled up for spice<br />

processing <strong>and</strong> soon became one of<br />

the largest spice processors in Saskatchewan.<br />

A second cleaning line was added<br />

in 1997 <strong>and</strong> for a time the plant operated<br />

24 hours a day to keep up with<br />

dem<strong>and</strong>.<br />

Calvin Wingert, who has worked at<br />

the plant for 20 years <strong>and</strong> manages<br />

its operations, said the spice market<br />

is small but has treated them well.<br />

That’s how we’ve been able to<br />

stay as busy as we have been<br />

over the years. It’s because we<br />

don’t try to do one thing all<br />

year long.<br />

ROBERT HEGGIE<br />

ESKDALE SEED FARM<br />

“<strong>The</strong> industry grew for eight or<br />

nine years, <strong>and</strong> then leveled off for<br />

eight or nine years. It’s in a bit of a dip<br />

now, but like most commodities it<br />

will come back,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plant eventually added a<br />

third cleaning line to allow the farm<br />

to do value added work on their<br />

crops without disturbing the spice<br />

cleaning.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> plant has allowed us to diversify<br />

into the food market, <strong>and</strong> people<br />

are always going to need to eat.<br />

Plus there are always going to be<br />

farmers who need seed to plant,”<br />

Heggie said.<br />

“That’s how we’ve been able to stay<br />

as busy as we have been over the<br />

years. It’s because we don’t try to do<br />

one thing all year long. <strong>The</strong>n, when<br />

the doors close, you’ve got nothing<br />

to do. Traditionally, when one thing<br />

slows down, something else has<br />

picked up.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> farm grows crops with the<br />

most profit potential. Lately that has<br />

been canola, but going all-in to any<br />

one crop or market in not in their<br />

business plan.<br />

Heggie uses three guiding principles<br />

to manage Eskdale Seed Farm:<br />

stay diverse, keep an eye out for<br />

emerging or potential markets <strong>and</strong><br />

be willing to attempt new ventures.<br />

Manager Calvin Wingert <strong>and</strong> owner Rob Heggie say Eskdale Seed Farm<br />

is always looking for new markets <strong>and</strong> business ventures.<br />

He has recently reduced the<br />

amount of acres seeded in spices<br />

because of low prices. <strong>The</strong> crops also<br />

have problems with disease during<br />

wet years.<br />

However, the Heggies are in a position<br />

to quickly respond to rising<br />

spice prices by increasing spice<br />

acres <strong>and</strong> return the plant to operating<br />

24 hours a day.<br />

“Anything that can be processed<br />

<strong>and</strong> marketed out of the cleaner,<br />

where another company comes<br />

here <strong>and</strong> picks it up, is usually more<br />

profitable for us,” Heggie said.<br />

This includes the pedigree seed<br />

the farm grows, such as wheat, barley,<br />

oats, flax, peas, <strong>and</strong> fall rye.<br />

As their spice acres decreased,<br />

the number of acres planted to<br />

oats for the gluten free marketed has<br />

increased.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are stringent requirements<br />

for growing gluten free oats. For<br />

instance, a load will be rejected if<br />

one gluten-containing grain kernel<br />

is found in a one-kilogram sample.<br />

Crop rotations are crucial when<br />

growing pedigree seed <strong>and</strong> gluten<br />

free oats.<br />

No other cereal grains are allowed<br />

in the rotation when growing oats<br />

for the gluten free market. Heggie<br />

said growing spices in the oat rotation<br />

helps maintain the integrity of<br />

the crop.<br />

Careful field management <strong>and</strong><br />

equipment cleanouts allow the farm<br />

meet the gluten-free oat st<strong>and</strong>ards,<br />

but the cleaning plant also helps.<br />

“We probably gross more per acre<br />

growing all these other things,<br />

which we prefer, than canola, <strong>and</strong><br />

there is a lot less risk (in terms of<br />

input costs), but you need things to<br />

rotate them with like peas or canola.”<br />

Heggie said he <strong>and</strong> Cres are<br />

thrilled that Kyle <strong>and</strong> Joel have been<br />

able to stay in the area to help exp<strong>and</strong><br />

the farm together.<br />

“I do what I love to do, <strong>and</strong> I get to<br />

do it with my family,” he said.<br />

SLEEP HABITS | INTERNAL CLOCK<br />

Sleep habits<br />

of elderly<br />

HEALTH CLINIC<br />

CLARE ROWSON, MD<br />

I am a 60-year-old male <strong>and</strong><br />

Q: as I get older, I seem to want to<br />

go to bed earlier <strong>and</strong> get up earlier,<br />

even though I don’t have to. I also<br />

have to get up in the middle of the<br />

night to urinate, so I never get more<br />

than three or four hours sleep at a<br />

time. Is this normal for my age? Will<br />

this eventually affect my overall<br />

health?<br />

Older people generally need<br />

A: the same amount of sleep as<br />

younger adults, seven or eight hours,<br />

although children <strong>and</strong> teenagers<br />

may need 10 hours a night or more.<br />

It is quite normal to break your<br />

sleep up into two three or four hour<br />

segments, even if you do not need to<br />

urinate. Sometimes it takes up to an<br />

hour to get back to sleep again, but<br />

this does not matter <strong>and</strong> will not<br />

affect your overall health.<br />

We all have internal clocks that<br />

regulate our circadian rhythms. <strong>The</strong><br />

problem is that due to electric lights,<br />

we now stay up long past our natural<br />

bed times. In the olden days, people<br />

slept when it got dark <strong>and</strong> got up in<br />

daylight.<br />

In the 1990s, sleep researcher Dr.<br />

Thomas Wehr, a psychiatrist at the<br />

National Institute of Mental Health<br />

in the United States, discovered that<br />

everyone sleeps in two segments<br />

when subjected to natural patterns<br />

of light <strong>and</strong> dark.<br />

He subjected the participants to 14<br />

hours of darkness per night <strong>and</strong><br />

found that they gradually shifted to a<br />

routine of taking two hours to fall<br />

asleep, then sleeping in two fourhour<br />

phases separated by about an<br />

hour of staying awake.<br />

Most people are now so tired <strong>and</strong><br />

sleep deprived that they fall asleep<br />

almost immediately <strong>and</strong> sleep<br />

straight through the night, so that<br />

they worry that anything different is<br />

not normal.<br />

Real insomnia does seem to get<br />

more common with increasing age.<br />

Older people tend to be less physically<br />

active, <strong>and</strong> are more likely to<br />

take an afternoon nap. Naps should<br />

preferably not last longer than 20<br />

minutes to half an hour.<br />

Painful conditions such as arthritis<br />

can interfere with sleep. Older men<br />

often develop problems with benign<br />

enlargement of the prostate gl<strong>and</strong>,<br />

which causes more frequent urination,<br />

<strong>and</strong> women in the menopause<br />

can be awakened by hot flashes.<br />

Depression <strong>and</strong> anxiety are also<br />

more common in older people <strong>and</strong><br />

can interfere with sleeping.<br />

Seniors are also more likely to take<br />

prescription medications, some of<br />

which may cause insomnia.<br />

Some examples are bronchodilators,<br />

which help breathing, steroids,<br />

certain antidepressants <strong>and</strong> thyroid<br />

medication.<br />

Furniture makers turn salvaged wood into fine furniture<br />

BY ANNE COTE<br />

FREELANCE WRITER<br />

Four furniture makers from Manitoba<br />

like to think of themselves as<br />

being in the tree salvaging business.<br />

Wood Anchor, which builds furniture<br />

<strong>and</strong> produces elm flooring, is the<br />

result of a collaboration between<br />

farmers Grant <strong>and</strong> Colleen Dyck <strong>and</strong><br />

their high school friends, Jason <strong>and</strong><br />

Jami Neufeld.<br />

<strong>The</strong> business is located on leased<br />

l<strong>and</strong> on the outskirts of Winnipeg,<br />

but in its early days a steel shed on the<br />

Dyck farm was the company’s workshop<br />

<strong>and</strong> headquarters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> original plan was to build furniture<br />

from reclaimed wood found in<br />

rural Manitoba. Old grain elevators,<br />

sheds, barns <strong>and</strong> other types of farm<br />

buildings provided a vast resource<br />

for the fledgling company.<br />

Grant Dyck had many ideas about<br />

how to use the wood, while Jason<br />

Neufeld had the woodworking skills<br />

to create the furniture.<br />

“Our whole approach is that we’re<br />

salvaging the trees rather than harvesting<br />

trees,” Neufeld said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> partners used equipment from<br />

the Dyck farm to move salvaged<br />

wood from its original site to the<br />

workshop.<br />

Neufeld said the intention was to<br />

just cut “a little bit of elm” when Wood<br />

Anchor began to look in 2007-08 at<br />

reclaiming trees that had succumbed<br />

Life on the farm will never be the<br />

same for Helen Choquette <strong>and</strong> family. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>Producer</strong> <strong>and</strong> Dow AgroSciences<br />

are thrilled to announce Choquette’s<br />

PIN number was drawn for the<br />

Keys to the Combine Contest<br />

at Red Deer’s AgriTrade on<br />

November 8, 2012—<br />

giving her full ownership<br />

of a 2012 New<br />

Holl<strong>and</strong> CR9090 combine,<br />

valued at $331,000.<br />

In 15 months almost<br />

50,000 keys were unlocked<br />

in the Keys to the Combine contest,<br />

but it was one of the keys<br />

earned by Helen Choquette, who<br />

farms 20 miles north of Kelvington,<br />

Saskatchewan with her husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

kids, which was the winner.<br />

“When I started the contest I just<br />

had a feeling I was going to win,” says<br />

Choquette. “<strong>The</strong> morning of the<br />

draw I even joked to my husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> kids I was going to<br />

win the combine later that day. We really need it <strong>and</strong> are<br />

thrilled to officially retire our New Holl<strong>and</strong> TX66 that we<br />

bought used five years ago.” Choquette’s son, Mitchel,<br />

says he’s looking forward to “less wrenching <strong>and</strong> more<br />

to Dutch elm disease to use for furniture<br />

<strong>and</strong> flooring.<br />

However, that’s when the environmental<br />

market was starting to develop,<br />

<strong>and</strong> reclaimed wood products<br />

became a good business idea.<br />

Most of the wood for the company’s<br />

flooring comes from elm trees in<br />

Winnipeg that died from the fungal<br />

disease, which was spread by beetles<br />

that burrow into the bark of trees.<br />

Only licensed arborists under contract<br />

to the city are allowed to cut the<br />

diseased elms <strong>and</strong> dispose of them.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dead trees are deposited at a<br />

Manitoba l<strong>and</strong>fill, where the bark is<br />

stripped away. <strong>The</strong> tree trunks are<br />

taken to Wood Anchor once they have<br />

dried well enough to be safe to use.<br />

Neufeld said the company uses<br />

almost 5,000 tonnes of elms annually.<br />

It also uses almost 3,000 tonnes of<br />

oak, ash <strong>and</strong> poplar. <strong>The</strong> oak <strong>and</strong> ash<br />

trees usually come from rural Manitoba<br />

farms, he added.<br />

Neufeld said unwanted shelter belt<br />

trees are usually best suited for fuel,<br />

either as pellets <strong>and</strong> logs.<br />

“Old farmyards are a different story<br />

because there’s often really big trees<br />

<strong>The</strong> new 2012 New Holl<strong>and</strong><br />

CR9090 is the combine of their<br />

dreams. <strong>The</strong>y are longtime Yorkton<br />

New Holl<strong>and</strong> customers <strong>and</strong> they<br />

are also Nexera canola growers. In<br />

2011 they had what Choquette<br />

describes as a “beautiful<br />

Nexera canola crop<br />

averaging 52 bushels<br />

an acre”. If, weather<br />

permitting, 2013 is a<br />

repeat they now<br />

have the necessary<br />

combine capacity.<br />

“We are thrilled for<br />

Helen <strong>and</strong> her family. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

are hard working with an<br />

incredible commitment to<br />

the canola industry,” says Mark<br />

Woloshyn, Nexera Br<strong>and</strong> Leader<br />

for Dow AgroSciences. “Not only<br />

do they grow Nexera canola, they<br />

also run a trucking company that delivers to Nexera canola<br />

channel partners Richardson Pioneer, LDM <strong>and</strong> Bunge. And it’s<br />

the end-use dem<strong>and</strong> that has given everyone in the Nexera<br />

canola value chain, from growers to processors, “healthier<br />

there,” he said. “<strong>The</strong>re might be only<br />

10 of them, but they’ll be huge.”<br />

Urban sources include riverbanks<br />

<strong>and</strong> residential spaces where trees<br />

have outgrown their environment.<br />

It’s these trees, rural <strong>and</strong> urban, that<br />

provide the material for the custom built<br />

furniture that Neufeld <strong>and</strong> the Wood<br />

Anchor crew produce in the shop.<br />

Equipment includes a portable<br />

sawmill <strong>and</strong> two drying kilns that the<br />

company plans to buy later this year<br />

to dry flooring. <strong>The</strong> kilns will cost<br />

$40,000 each.<br />

Neufeld <strong>and</strong> an office manager<br />

h<strong>and</strong>le sales <strong>and</strong> day to day functions,<br />

while four employees either<br />

operate the sawmill or work in the<br />

shop building furniture.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y all have basic woodworking<br />

skills,” Neufeld said. “<strong>The</strong>y’re a creative<br />

group <strong>and</strong> they manage to figure<br />

out new ways to make the wood fit the<br />

customers’ requests. We’re dealing<br />

with some pretty wild material.”<br />

For example, wood stacked in the<br />

shop include black streaks <strong>and</strong> cracks<br />

where nails used to be, knots <strong>and</strong><br />

23<br />

other abnormalities.<br />

He said it’s these imperfections that<br />

customers want preserved in their<br />

custom made furniture, which<br />

means the people building it have to<br />

take a different approach to wood<br />

crafting <strong>and</strong> finishing.<br />

A table on the workbench in the<br />

shop is one example. It’s more than<br />

two metres long <strong>and</strong> close to a metre<br />

wide <strong>and</strong> is crafted from local Manitoba<br />

oak. <strong>The</strong> Wood Anchor crew<br />

won’t fill the knotholes or s<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

out the discolorations before applying<br />

a food safe finish concocted from<br />

vegetable oil <strong>and</strong> plant wax.<br />

“That’s the character of the piece.<br />

That’s what people want,” Neufeld said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> price of this particular table,<br />

which is destined for a home in Calgary,<br />

will be $4,000 to $5,000 when it’s<br />

finished. Neufeld said customers<br />

provide him with a basic idea of what<br />

they want <strong>and</strong> plenty of freedom to<br />

create a unique piece.<br />

He said it usually takes 10 to 12<br />

weeks for a custom made table to be<br />

finished.<br />

JODIE MIROSOVSKY, BSHEc<br />

We enter a new season as<br />

soon as the snowflakes tap<br />

at the window.<br />

With this white blanket comes a<br />

quiet <strong>and</strong> peaceful atmosphere. After<br />

fall yard work kept us busy, we now<br />

have permission to curl up with a<br />

good book without feeling too guilty.<br />

And aside from the job of moving<br />

snow off sidewalks <strong>and</strong> driveways,<br />

there is a sense of serene excitement,<br />

if that is possible.<br />

I love watching the kids enjoy the<br />

first snowfall: running in the glittering<br />

flakes as they fall, building a<br />

snowman or being pulled on a sleigh.<br />

It is also the time to prepare for the<br />

coming holidays. I always anticipate<br />

the food <strong>and</strong> fun that holiday gatherings<br />

bring.<br />

Although the season can get busy,<br />

remember to take time to stop <strong>and</strong><br />

enjoy some great food.<br />

CABBAGE AND RICE CASSEROLE<br />

This casserole is a form of “lazy<br />

cabbage rolls.” It’s delicious <strong>and</strong> easy.<br />

1 lb. extra lean ground 500 g<br />

beef<br />

1 medium onion, chopped<br />

to taste salt, pepper <strong>and</strong><br />

garlic powder<br />

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 5 mL<br />

1 10 oz tin tomato soup 284 mL<br />

1 c. water 250 mL<br />

3 tbsp. uncooked rice 45 mL<br />

3 c. shredded cabbage 750 mL<br />

1 c. grated cheddar 250 mL<br />

cheese<br />

Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).<br />

Saskatoon berry squares are as pretty as they are tasty. | JODIE MIROSOVSKY<br />

PHOTO<br />

Brown the ground beef in a skillet.<br />

Add the onion, salt, pepper, garlic<br />

powder <strong>and</strong> Worcestershire sauce.<br />

Rinse the rice under hot running<br />

water. Stir in the tomato soup, water<br />

<strong>and</strong> rice into the beef mixture. Grease<br />

a two quart (2.5 L) casserole. Line with<br />

half the shredded cabbage. Pour meat<br />

mixture over the cabbage. Add the<br />

remaining cabbage. Cover <strong>and</strong> bake<br />

1 1/4 hours. Add the shredded cheese<br />

during the last 15 minutes of cooking.<br />

Serves four.<br />

POPPY SEED DRESSING<br />

I always like a crisp salad as a side<br />

with a large meal.<br />

1/4 c. peach or apricot 60 mL<br />

nectar/jam<br />

2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 30 mL<br />

(or grapefruit)<br />

2 tbsp. white sugar 30 mL<br />

1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL<br />

1/2 tsp. dry mustard 2 mL<br />

2 tbsp. grated onion 30 mL<br />

1 tbsp. poppy seed 15 mL<br />

1/4 c. vegetable oil 60 mL<br />

garnish with sliced almonds<br />

Combine all ingredients except<br />

oil <strong>and</strong> almonds in food processor or<br />

blender. Whirl until blended. Slowly<br />

add the oil while blending.<br />

When ready to serve, garnish greens<br />

of your choice with sliced almonds <strong>and</strong><br />

toss with dressing or serve dressing on<br />

the side.<br />

DILL CREAM SAUCE<br />

This sauce is a must with fresh new<br />

potatoes, but I like it over roast potatoes<br />

all year long.<br />

3 tbsp. butter 45 mL<br />

1/2 c. onion, finely 125 mL<br />

chopped<br />

3 tbsp. flour 45 mL<br />

1 1/4 c. milk 310 mL<br />

1/4 c. dill, finely chopped 60 mL<br />

1/3 c. cream 75 mL<br />

to taste salt <strong>and</strong> pepper<br />

Farmers love this.<br />

Prairie wheat growers are turning to midge tolerant wheat<br />

for midge control <strong>and</strong> high yields. And everyone wants this<br />

to continue.<br />

Fry the onion in butter until clear.<br />

Remove from heat <strong>and</strong> stir in the flour.<br />

Whisk in the milk. Return to the heat<br />

<strong>and</strong> bring to a boil. Add the chopped<br />

dill <strong>and</strong> cook slowly, stirring steadily.<br />

Stir in cream slowly. Season with salt<br />

<strong>and</strong> pepper. Serve over potatoes or<br />

with baked fish or chicken.<br />

As a variation to plain dill sauce, try<br />

these creamed mushrooms with dill.<br />

4 c. fresh mushrooms 1000 L<br />

1 onion, chopped<br />

2-3 garlic cloves (minced)<br />

1/4 c. butter or margarine 60 mL<br />

2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 30 mL<br />

1 10 oz. tin cream of 284 mL<br />

mushroom soup<br />

2 tsp. chopped dill 10 mL<br />

(fresh or frozen)<br />

1 c. cream 250 mL<br />

(whipping or coffee)<br />

salt <strong>and</strong> pepper to taste<br />

Clean <strong>and</strong> boil fresh mushrooms (in<br />

salted water for 10 to 15 minutes). Drain<br />

<strong>and</strong> set aside. Saute onion in butter or<br />

margarine with garlic <strong>and</strong> dill. Add flour<br />

to make a sauce or roux. Slowly pour<br />

cream into mixture. Whisk until smooth.<br />

Cook on low heat to thicken. Add mushrooms<br />

<strong>and</strong> the soup. Season to taste.<br />

Note: canned mushrooms can be<br />

used in place of fresh if desired. Pour<br />

on potatoes.<br />

SASKATOON BERRY SQUARES<br />

This square look amazing served on<br />

a plate with its rich purple filling.<br />

Base:<br />

1 c. butter, at room 250 mL<br />

temperature<br />

1 c. white sugar 250 mL<br />

1 egg<br />

2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 625 mL<br />

3/4 tsp. salt (optional) 3 mL<br />

2 tsp. baking powder 10 mL<br />

Filling:<br />

5 c. saskatoons or blueberries,<br />

fresh or frozen 1250 mL<br />

2 tbsp. lemon rind 30 mL<br />

juice of one lemon<br />

That’s the point of the Stewardship Agreement. <strong>The</strong> Agreement<br />

limits the use of farm-saved seed to one generation past Certified<br />

seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system<br />

at the desired level, preventing a build-up of resistant midge.<br />

Protect your yields <strong>and</strong> grade, <strong>and</strong> preserve this important tool<br />

for years to come. What’s not to love about that?<br />

Contact your retailer or visit www.midgetolerantwheat.ca<br />

to learn more about these new varieties <strong>and</strong> how the<br />

interspersed refuge system works.<br />

2/3 c. brown sugar 150 mL<br />

1/3 c. granulated sugar 75 mL<br />

1/4 c. cornstarch 60 mL<br />

1 tbsp. butter 15 mL<br />

Preheat oven to 350 mL (180 C).<br />

Base: In a mixing bowl, beat<br />

the butter <strong>and</strong> sugar until light <strong>and</strong><br />

creamy. Add the egg <strong>and</strong> continue<br />

beating until well combined. In another<br />

bowl, mix the flour, baking powder<br />

<strong>and</strong> salt.<br />

Stir into butter mixture with a spoon<br />

until crumbs form. Press two-thirds of<br />

crumb mixture into an ungreased nine<br />

by 13 inch (22 X 33 cm) pan.<br />

Filling: Wash the saskatoon berries,<br />

drain <strong>and</strong> set aside in a medium bowl.<br />

Grate the lemon rind <strong>and</strong> remove the<br />

juice. Place in a saucepan. Add the<br />

brown sugar, white sugar <strong>and</strong> cornstarch.<br />

Cook <strong>and</strong> whisk until the mixture<br />

thickens (eight to 10 minutes).<br />

Add the butter <strong>and</strong> stir.<br />

Add the cooked mixture to the saskatoon<br />

berries. Spread the mixture<br />

onto the prepared base.<br />

Top with the remaining one-third<br />

of crumbs. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.<br />

Makes 24 squares.<br />

Tasty reading<br />

Recipes in this column are all from<br />

the cookbook, From Baba with Love.<br />

Cecilia Kachkowski, president of<br />

the Hanka Romnachych branch of<br />

the Ukrainian Women’s Association<br />

of Canada in Saskatoon, introduced<br />

me to this Ukrainian cookbook that<br />

was compiled by the Saskatoon<br />

branch.<br />

I fondly remember my husb<strong>and</strong>’s<br />

baba <strong>and</strong> dido <strong>and</strong> how proud they<br />

were of their heritage <strong>and</strong> their success<br />

in coming to Canada. Sharing a<br />

meal, <strong>and</strong> a shot of vodka or homemade<br />

liquor, was a must to celebrate<br />

many life events.<br />

This publication is much more than<br />

a cookbook, featuring teachings of<br />

the spiritual seasons of life, including<br />

cultural <strong>and</strong> folkloric descriptions of<br />

selected feast days <strong>and</strong> sacraments<br />

<strong>and</strong> Ukrainian food traditions.<br />

Recipes vary from traditional to<br />

modern versions for those like myself<br />

who like quick <strong>and</strong> easy dishes. It is a<br />

great resource to preserve Ukrainian<br />

history in Canada <strong>and</strong> wonderful as a<br />

gift this Christmas.<br />

It is priced at $35 per copy <strong>and</strong> is<br />

available at McNally Robinson,<br />

SaskMade Marketplace <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Ukrainian Museum of Canada in<br />

Saskatoon.<br />

Another great gift idea is Cooking<br />

with Cherries ... From the Prairies. It is<br />

another project that Kachkowski was<br />

involved with, along with Loretta<br />

Bors <strong>and</strong> Lily Sawatzky.<br />

Together they compiled <strong>and</strong> edited<br />

a cookbook using prairie developed<br />

sour cherries in every recipe. Proceeds<br />

will fund a scholarship for a<br />

student studying horticulture at the<br />

University of Saskatchewan.<br />

For more information, visit www.<br />

fruit.usask.ca or pick up the book at<br />

the U of S bookstore, MacNally Robinson,<br />

SaskMade Marketplace <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Western</strong> Development Museum.<br />

I took my husb<strong>and</strong>’s name<br />

Q: when I got married <strong>and</strong> blended<br />

mine <strong>and</strong> his into a hyphenated<br />

name. After the birth of our fi rst child<br />

we created a will. Years later, I am<br />

still married to the same person, but<br />

I have dropped his name <strong>and</strong> added<br />

two more children. Do I need to get<br />

my will changed?<br />

You have raised three issues<br />

A: that I will address.<br />

Change of name<br />

You note that you had originally<br />

used a hyphenated name, which was<br />

a combination of your husb<strong>and</strong>’s<br />

name <strong>and</strong> yours. Sometime later in<br />

the marriage, you reverted to just<br />

your own surname, which I presume<br />

is your birth name.<br />

Under <strong>The</strong> Change of Name Act in<br />

Saskatchewan, you would be able to<br />

revert back to your birth name without<br />

being required to file a formal<br />

application to do so.<br />

With regard to your will, the change<br />

from the hyphenated name to your<br />

birth name would not make your will<br />

invalid.<br />

It is quite clear who the writer of the<br />

will is <strong>and</strong> any confusion could be<br />

eliminated by the filing of an affidavit<br />

of identity at the time of your death,<br />

in which someone who knew you<br />

FARM LIVING<br />

would simply indicate that the name<br />

used in the will was one <strong>and</strong> the same<br />

person as the name you were using at<br />

date of death. So that in itself would<br />

not necessitate the making of a new<br />

will.<br />

More children<br />

Many wills indicate that a parent<br />

will leave their estate to “all my children,<br />

in equal shares.” That is how I<br />

A PRAIRIE PRACTICE<br />

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.<br />

A group of us women recently<br />

Q: turned a small <strong>and</strong> enjoyable<br />

coffee time into a degrading gossip<br />

session about one of my neighbours.<br />

As ashamed as I am to admit it, I was<br />

right in there with everyone else.<br />

What is disturbing to me is that the<br />

neighbour is otherwise a good friend<br />

of mine. I have no idea how I got<br />

caught up in this thing <strong>and</strong> I am feeling<br />

terrible about it. Those of us who<br />

live in small communities know how<br />

devastating gossip can be.<br />

I don’t want to do this again. I have<br />

talked to my neighbour <strong>and</strong> apologized<br />

to her, <strong>and</strong> we are still on good<br />

terms with each other. But it cannot<br />

stop there. What can I do to keep<br />

myself out of those gossip lines?<br />

You have already started. Tak-<br />

A: ing responsibility for your part<br />

in the gossip session <strong>and</strong> apologizing<br />

to your neighbour was tremendously<br />

courageous. I do not know<br />

many people who would be that<br />

honourable.<br />

Th ankfully, she was forgiving, <strong>and</strong><br />

that says something commendable<br />

about her as well.<br />

Obviously, you know the harm to<br />

personal relationships that can<br />

sprout out of community gossip.<br />

However, like you, people often get<br />

caught up in gossip sessions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lure of gossip comes to us from<br />

two directions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first is simple: “we want to<br />

belong.” People, like a herd of cattle<br />

grazing in the fields, are social creatures.<br />

We do not only want to belong<br />

to groups in our communities; we<br />

need to belong.<br />

Survival is difficult without the support<br />

<strong>and</strong> nurturing care of our friends<br />

<strong>and</strong> families. People gossip to belong<br />

to groups <strong>and</strong> friends in the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> irony is that the most likely<br />

way to lose contact with others is to<br />

be forefront in the gossip sessions.<br />

Those who are gossiping about<br />

other people could just as easily be<br />

talking about you, <strong>and</strong> when they do<br />

they are isolating you from the community.<br />

Gossip victims are generally left to<br />

their own resources, lacking support<br />

from others in the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other drive toward gossip is<br />

from personal dissatisfaction.<br />

Chances are that you are gossiping<br />

when something in your life needs<br />

fixing. <strong>The</strong> most common drive to<br />

gossip comes from a few doubts<br />

about your own self worth.<br />

So strong is this connection that<br />

you could almost use it as a barometer<br />

for yourself. <strong>The</strong> next time you are<br />

tempted to gossip, find yourself a<br />

clean bathroom mirror <strong>and</strong> check in<br />

with that person looking back at you.<br />

Chances are that you will see someone<br />

who needs to be encouraged.<br />

It is a signal that you need to find<br />

more positive supports in your life to<br />

usually draft a will for young parents<br />

who are of an age where their family<br />

may exp<strong>and</strong> in the future. If yours is<br />

like that, it should be fine.<br />

However, if your will named specifically<br />

only the child you had at the<br />

time <strong>and</strong> not a general class of your<br />

children, you should definitely<br />

change your will to include your laterborn<br />

children.<br />

Years later<br />

You have indicated that it has been<br />

a long time since you last made a will.<br />

Many people ask how many years<br />

should go by before they make a<br />

change to their will. It is not the number<br />

of years that go by but the change<br />

in circumstances.<br />

Changes to your beneficiaries or<br />

changes to your assets are the main<br />

indicators that a change to a will is<br />

improve your self-image.<br />

Group pressure is of course strong<br />

<strong>and</strong> persuasive. When your coffee<br />

sessions start to degrade other people,<br />

excuse yourself <strong>and</strong> find that<br />

bathroom mirror.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n commend the person looking<br />

25<br />

necessary. In this case, the most<br />

important reason why you may need<br />

to update your will is to be sure that<br />

all of your children are named as<br />

beneficiaries, or that this is covered<br />

by referring to them as a group.<br />

While you are making that change,<br />

make sure to review your guardian<br />

clause, which is the person or persons<br />

who would be looking after your<br />

children if both you <strong>and</strong> your husb<strong>and</strong><br />

were to die, <strong>and</strong> update that<br />

clause if necessary.<br />

And while you are making these<br />

changes, you can update your name<br />

as well.<br />

ANIMAL WELFARE | HOGS<br />

New hog codes of practice will come with price<br />

Minimum st<strong>and</strong>ards set | <strong>The</strong> code will cost hog producers as they retrofit barns from stalls to group housing<br />

BY WILLIAM DEKAY<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

Revised codes of practice for hog<br />

production are expected to be<br />

released by the end of next year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scientific report has been made<br />

public, <strong>and</strong> the committee’s draft will<br />

be completed by the end of the year<br />

<strong>and</strong> ready for public consultation<br />

<strong>and</strong> feedback by early next year.<br />

Most items will take effect a year<br />

after the codes are released.<br />

“One of the more important things<br />

is we’re establishing a minimum<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard that is going to form the<br />

basis for all set evaluations of our<br />

operations in Canada,” Dr. Harold<br />

Gonyou, an animal scientist with the<br />

Prairie Swine Centre in Saskatoon,<br />

told the Swine Industry Symposium<br />

in Saskatoon Nov. 13-14.<br />

“So if a problem comes up, we have<br />

something to go back <strong>and</strong> say, ‘this is<br />

our st<strong>and</strong>ard, does it meet it or<br />

doesn’t it meet it.’ ”<br />

Gonyou, a member of the scientific<br />

team who was also chosen to represent<br />

the code development commit-<br />

BY KAREN BRIERE<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />

Nearly 5,000 people have signed<br />

petitions asking Ottawa to review its<br />

decision to cut programs at the<br />

Motherwell Homestead national<br />

historic site in Saskatchewan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> site near Abernethy is the<br />

home of the country’s first agriculture<br />

minister <strong>and</strong> features demonstrations<br />

of how agriculture was<br />

We want to make sure we do this in a well<br />

thought out, logical way. Not only animal<br />

welfare for our animals, but we’re not cruel<br />

to our producers either.<br />

FLORIAN POSSBERG<br />

PIG CODE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE<br />

tee, said the existing 15-year-old<br />

code of practice didn’t have m<strong>and</strong>atory<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canada Pork Council asked<br />

that the code be revised so that it<br />

could be used as a basis for st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

for its animal care assessment program.<br />

Gonyou said scientific input for the<br />

codes of practice included discussions<br />

with many stakeholders.<br />

“We’re achieving that st<strong>and</strong>ard by<br />

which we live by,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scientific committee studied<br />

six welfare issues: controlling pain<br />

regarding castration, methods of<br />

practiced in W.R. Motherwell’s time.<br />

Costumed interpreters used cattle,<br />

horses, poultry <strong>and</strong> other livestock,<br />

as well as early implements, to show<br />

people how things used to be done.<br />

However, Parks Canada cut the living<br />

history program in budget<br />

announcements earlier this year. As<br />

of 2013, the site will operate as a static<br />

display.<br />

Jakki Stephenson, secretary of the<br />

Friends of the Motherwell Home-<br />

euthanasia, pig space allowance,<br />

gestation <strong>and</strong> sow housing, social<br />

management of sows <strong>and</strong> sow space<br />

allowance.<br />

Gonyou said sow housing is of<br />

greatest interest to producers <strong>and</strong><br />

consumers.<br />

Studies show it is possible to<br />

achieve equal or better productivity<br />

<strong>and</strong> health in group systems compared<br />

to stalls. Sows housed in stalls<br />

rested less <strong>and</strong> sat <strong>and</strong> drank more<br />

than sows in groups.<br />

Tethered sows show lower productivity<br />

<strong>and</strong> higher levels of stress than<br />

those in stalls.<br />

stead Inc., said that isn’t good<br />

enough to honour an agricultural<br />

figure of such importance.<br />

“We feel it’s very important to try to<br />

preserve his memory in a way that’s<br />

fitting,” she said.<br />

She said the Friends group has<br />

been told the site will be self-guided<br />

<strong>and</strong> open only three days per week<br />

during late May <strong>and</strong> June. However,<br />

those three days will be during the<br />

week <strong>and</strong> not weekends.<br />

Gonyou said the revised code would<br />

include caveats on group housing.<br />

“We still want to use the stall during<br />

that first trimester because we feel<br />

with our current underst<strong>and</strong>ing of<br />

management, the sows will be challenged<br />

if we don’t,” he said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>n we’ll move to group housing<br />

during the last two trimesters of pregnancy.”<br />

Gonyou said the new codes will<br />

bring major financial hurdles, particularly<br />

during a housing conversion.<br />

“It’s going to cost somewhere between<br />

$250 <strong>and</strong> $500 per sow to make<br />

that transition on our farms because<br />

we have to renovate those buildings,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It’s a new design, a new management<br />

method. <strong>The</strong>y have been developed,<br />

but our barns have not been<br />

built for them.”<br />

Florian Possberg, chair of the<br />

National Farm Animal Care Council’s<br />

pig code development committee,<br />

said finding the right combination of<br />

caring for animals <strong>and</strong> still being competitive<br />

in the marketplace requires a<br />

“That’s not much fun for families,”<br />

Stephenson observed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> site will be open full-time from<br />

July to mid-September.<br />

Children’s day camps at the site<br />

were over-subscribed but will no<br />

longer be offered <strong>and</strong> any school<br />

tours that visit the site will be left to<br />

w<strong>and</strong>er on their own.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cuts also mean that seven seasonal<br />

<strong>and</strong> four full-time staff will be<br />

reduced to five summer positions.<br />

sensitive balancing act.<br />

“On one h<strong>and</strong>, we want to have an<br />

animal welfare position that allows<br />

us to access as many markets as possible<br />

<strong>and</strong> yet we cannot put so many<br />

conditions on our production that<br />

we are non-competitive,” he said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re may be premium markets<br />

out there that will pay a premium for<br />

very high animal welfare, but quite<br />

frankly most consumers buy on price<br />

in Canada. Globally, if you don’t<br />

match the best price, you’re not in the<br />

market.”<br />

Bigger ticket items, such as retrofitting<br />

barns for sow space, will require<br />

a phase-in period <strong>and</strong> innovation<br />

money so that producers can make<br />

the appropriate changes.<br />

Possberg said the council has asked<br />

to delay the process long enough so<br />

that market conditions can improve.<br />

“At the end of the day, we don’t want<br />

to push our producers out of business.<br />

We want to make sure we do this<br />

in a well thought out, logical way. Not<br />

only animal welfare for our animals,<br />

but we’re not cruel to our producers<br />

CALGARY BUREAU<br />

TORONTO — Not everybody gets<br />

excited about a 50 pound block of<br />

frozen butter, but for sculptors it<br />

offers endless opportunities to have<br />

fun <strong>and</strong> create art.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Royal Agricultural Winter Fair<br />

invites sculptors <strong>and</strong> art college students<br />

to compete in an annual butter<br />

sculpture competition. This year,<br />

Bailey Henderson of the Ontario College<br />

of Art <strong>and</strong> Design in Toronto<br />

won with a whimsical rendering of a<br />

pig on a scooter.<br />

“Artistic merit is what we are really<br />

working for,” said judge Ineset<br />

Dzenis, who works in the film<br />

industry.<br />

<strong>The</strong> three judges gathered in the<br />

cold room where the finished works<br />

are on display <strong>and</strong> deliberated about<br />

creations that included a life sized<br />

goose spreading it swings, a wolf eyeing<br />

food, a calf encircling a baby <strong>and</strong><br />

a chicken sitting on a mountain of<br />

eggs.<br />

Judges Olenka Kleban <strong>and</strong> Katy<br />

Berggren are fulltime artists <strong>and</strong> have<br />

previously entered this show <strong>and</strong> one<br />

at the Canadian National Exhibition<br />

with large renderings of Toronto<br />

mayor Rob Ford, an aging Elvis Presley<br />

<strong>and</strong> Wayne Gretzky.<br />

At the Royal, artists start with a 50 lb.<br />

block of butter <strong>and</strong> work in a cold<br />

room. It takes about eight hours to<br />

complete.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sculptures are eventually<br />

thrown away because they cannot be<br />

eaten after being manipulated <strong>and</strong><br />

h<strong>and</strong>led.<br />

Artists use carving tools <strong>and</strong> their<br />

h<strong>and</strong>s. Butter is less forgiving than<br />

clay or other sculpting medium. <strong>The</strong><br />

work can be built on a frame if necessary.<br />

“It is not quite as easy as clay. It can<br />

be brittle. To get it to a malleable state<br />

takes a lot of work,” said Berggren.<br />

One of her past entries included a<br />

Scot in his kilt, which she called Butterscotch.<br />

Her busts of Gretzky <strong>and</strong><br />

Presley for the CNE each took 100 lb.<br />

of butter to complete over several<br />

days.<br />

Kleban has produced animal projects,<br />

including nursing piglets, which<br />

she called a Pile of Litter, two cows<br />

nestling <strong>and</strong> a gr<strong>and</strong>mother making<br />

perogies. That project required 500<br />

lb. of butter.<br />

BSE SURVEILLANCE | TESTING CHANGES<br />

BSE test changes designed to increase submissions<br />

New age limit | <strong>The</strong> industry benefits from BSE testing by increasing confidence in the beef sector, says veterinarian<br />

BY BARB GLEN<br />

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU<br />

Changes to Alberta’s BSE surveillance<br />

program are designed to<br />

encourage producers to provide a<br />

larger number of samples.<br />

Starting Nov. 1, cattle owners can<br />

now submit any animal older than 30<br />

months for BSE testing if it is dead,<br />

down, diseased or distressed or if its<br />

showing neurological signs of illness.<br />

An upper age limit of 107 months had<br />

previously been in effect in Alberta.<br />

A restriction on time of ownership<br />

has also been removed. <strong>Producer</strong>s<br />

DISEASE | CONTROL<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s must<br />

take diseases<br />

by the horns<br />

BY ED WHITE<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

Livestock producers should take<br />

responsibility for controlling contagious<br />

disease outbreaks, says a leading<br />

Alberta disease control specialist.<br />

Nobody has as much at stake as<br />

producers, <strong>and</strong> nobody is likely to<br />

care as much about doing it right.<br />

“It’s time to stop saying it’s a federal<br />

problem, or it’s a provincial problem,”<br />

Jeff Hill, a veterinarian <strong>and</strong> livestock<br />

welfare specialist with Alberta Agriculture,<br />

told the Canadian Swine<br />

Health Forum in Winnipeg.<br />

“Ultimately, it’s your problem.”<br />

Disease outbreaks can cause costly<br />

time delays as federal, provincial,<br />

regional <strong>and</strong> industry players argue<br />

over who is responsible for controlling<br />

live animal diseases.<br />

That can cause dangerous delays in<br />

taking action <strong>and</strong> allow disease outbreaks<br />

to become more severe, Hill<br />

said. <strong>The</strong> number of animals infected<br />

can be reduced by 80 percent if outbreaks<br />

are aggressively engaged<br />

within 72 hours, he added.<br />

Hill said the ever-present threat of<br />

foot-<strong>and</strong>-mouth disease means livestock<br />

industries need to prepare for<br />

mass euthanization of animals, but<br />

they aren’t doing so.<br />

However, the hog industry has<br />

begun working on a national plan to<br />

control a mass outbreak using<br />

“humane destruction centres” in<br />

Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba <strong>and</strong><br />

Alberta <strong>and</strong> co-ordination of local,<br />

regional, industry, provincial <strong>and</strong><br />

federal organizations <strong>and</strong> resources.<br />

Hill, who has been organizing the<br />

plan for the Canadian Swine Health<br />

Board, said an existing plan can be<br />

rapidly enacted if a crisis erupts,<br />

which is greatly preferable to squabbling<br />

over responsibility <strong>and</strong> losing<br />

crucial hours for early response.<br />

“When something like H1N1<br />

comes down, the (Canadian Food<br />

Inspection Agency) goes, ‘it’s a provincial<br />

issue,’ the province goes, ‘It’s<br />

an industry issue.’ None of us have a<br />

legislative m<strong>and</strong>ate to take responsibility.”<br />

However, Hill said livestock industries<br />

can’t afford to play that game<br />

because only they go out of business<br />

if things go bad.<br />

can now submit animals in any of the<br />

above noted high risk categories<br />

regardless of how long they’ve owned<br />

the animals. <strong>The</strong> previous restriction<br />

was 30 days of possession.<br />

<strong>The</strong> $75 per animal reimbursement<br />

to producers for submitting an animal<br />

is still in effect.<br />

Dr. Gerald Hauer, chief provincial<br />

veterinarian in Alberta, said the<br />

changes were made to increase the<br />

number of animals submitted.<br />

“We recognized that the numbers<br />

of samples coming into our program<br />

are reduced from what they were<br />

before,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other goal was to make Alberta’s<br />

program more consistent with<br />

those elsewhere in Canada.<br />

Changes to the term of ownership<br />

requirements were made in light of<br />

better market prices for cull cows.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> main reason for that was, for<br />

animal welfare reasons, we felt that it<br />

was not prudent to have a system that<br />

would allow farmers to go around<br />

collecting up the older cows, cows<br />

that are unfit for transportation <strong>and</strong><br />

things like that, collect them up <strong>and</strong><br />

put them into the BSE program,” said<br />

Hauer.<br />

That happened in the early days of<br />

the BSE surveillance program but is<br />

less common now, he added.<br />

“Market conditions are different<br />

now. We don’t feel there’s as much<br />

potential for animal welfare issues<br />

around that, so we felt it was time to<br />

take that one out.”<br />

Hauer said Alberta would ideally<br />

like to test 10,000 animals per year for<br />

BSE. That target was not met last year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> national goal is to test 30,000<br />

animals.<br />

In 2005, two years after BSE was<br />

discovered in Canada, 57,000 samples<br />

were tested across the country.<br />

That dropped to 48,000 by 2008.<br />

Tests as of Sept. 30, 2012, totalled<br />

19,943, which was down substantially<br />

from January to September of 2011,<br />

when 27,429 samples were collected.<br />

Hauer said a group formed to<br />

address BSE testing is preparing a<br />

campaign to encourage producers to<br />

increase the number of animals they<br />

submit. Rural veterinarians are also<br />

asked to encourage more tests.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> ultimate beneficiary of the<br />

BSE surveillance is the cattle industry.<br />

What it does is it maintains the<br />

confidence in beef products both<br />

domestically <strong>and</strong> internationally,”<br />

Hauer said.


CANOLA | DISEASE<br />

BY BARB GLEN<br />

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were several reasons for disappointing<br />

canola yields across<br />

<strong>Western</strong> Canada this year, <strong>and</strong><br />

sclerotinia was one of them.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fungal disease, which thrives in<br />

hot <strong>and</strong> moist conditions, robbed<br />

farmers of 10 percent of their yield in<br />

Alberta <strong>and</strong> Saskatchewan <strong>and</strong> five<br />

percent in Manitoba.<br />

Clint Jurke, an agronomy specialist<br />

with the Canola Council of<br />

Canada, said the rule of thumb for<br />

yield loss due to sclerotinia is to<br />

halve the incidence.<br />

That means 20 percent of Alberta<br />

<strong>and</strong> Saskatchewan crops <strong>and</strong> 10 percent<br />

of Manitoba crops suffered from<br />

the disease this year.<br />

“Sclerotinia was very big, particularly<br />

through central <strong>and</strong> northwest<br />

Saskatchewan. It was probably the<br />

number one yield robber in that<br />

area,” said Jurke.<br />

“Sclerotinia is the one disease that is<br />

almost entirely controlled by the<br />

weather pattern that you have. Crop<br />

rotation, previous crop history, things<br />

like that don’t really matter very much<br />

with this disease. It’s all about how<br />

NEWS<br />

much moisture you’ve had, particularly<br />

around that flowering period.”<br />

R<strong>and</strong>y Kutcher, former oilseed specialist<br />

with Agriculture Canada, recommended<br />

using the canola council<br />

checklist to determine whether fungicide<br />

spraying is worthwhile. <strong>The</strong><br />

list includes assessments of recent<br />

weather, forecast, crop canopy <strong>and</strong><br />

yield potential.<br />

Scouting at first flower <strong>and</strong> then<br />

using a petal test kit will also give<br />

guidance on spraying, but Kutcher<br />

said few producers use the kits.<br />

“Even if you don’t think you have<br />

much inoculum in your field, you can<br />

Prevention best weapon against sclerotinia<br />

Weather related | Canola is susceptible to the disease if it receives moisture during the flowering period<br />

Unsung hero.<br />

still get spores coming in from adjacent<br />

fields,” said Kutcher, who now<br />

focuses on cereal <strong>and</strong> flax pathology at<br />

the University of Saskatchewan.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> more growers deal with the<br />

disease, the better feel they get for it<br />

<strong>and</strong> the years that it’s going to be a<br />

problem.”<br />

Sclerotinia is tricky.<br />

Spraying is unlikely to be effective<br />

in preserving yield by the time it is<br />

visible in the crop. Prevention is the<br />

main weapon in farmers’ arsenal.<br />

Kutcher said his best recommendation<br />

is to scout at swathing time to<br />

gather information on potential load<br />

in the soil. <strong>The</strong> data can be useful the<br />

following year if weather conditions<br />

favour the disease.<br />

“Get off the swather, three or four or<br />

five places in a quarter section, <strong>and</strong><br />

figure out how much sclerotinia<br />

(you) have. It’s a pretty easy disease<br />

to recognize.”<br />

Alberta Agriculture oilseed specialist<br />

Murray Hartman said some<br />

canola varieties are tolerant to sclerotinia<br />

but they work best when disease<br />

pressure is low. Even then, fungicide<br />

spraying will likely be required<br />

if conditions favour the disease.<br />

“I would say there hasn’t been a<br />

high uptake on those varieties,” said<br />

Hartman.<br />

Abundant sclerotinia in one crop<br />

year is not a guide to conditions in the<br />

following year because of the disease’s<br />

weather dependence.<br />

However, Hartman said the disease’s<br />

apothecia bodies can remain<br />

in the soil for three or four years <strong>and</strong><br />

cause problems when conditions are<br />

right.<br />

That’s why crop rotation is not a<br />

huge factor in control, agreed Jurke.<br />

Sclerotinia is not particular about its<br />

host.<br />

“Any dicot plant is a host for this<br />

disease, so it doesn’t matter if you’re<br />

growing canola or you’re growing<br />

peas or you’re growing lentils or<br />

you’re growing even alfalfa or Canada<br />

thistle. <strong>The</strong>y all will produce<br />

sclerotia.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> bright side is that there are<br />

many effective fungicides.<br />

Sclerotinia has developed resistance<br />

to benomyl, the most popular<br />

fungicide used in the 1990s, so that is<br />

a warning to producers to vary products<br />

<strong>and</strong> modes of action.<br />

BRITISH COLUMBIA | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR<br />

BY SHANNON MONEO<br />

FREELANCE WRITER<br />

VICTORIA —British Columbia’s<br />

29th lieutenant governor is the second<br />

woman to accept the role, but<br />

she’s the first female rancher to hold<br />

court since the position was formalized<br />

in 1871.<br />

Judith Guichon, who with her late<br />

husb<strong>and</strong>, Lawrence, owned the<br />

Gerard Guichon Ranch in the Nicola<br />

Valley, north of Merritt, has taken up<br />

residence at Government House for<br />

a five-year-term as the Queen’s representative<br />

in B.C.<br />

She has swapped 15,000 acres of<br />

deeded <strong>and</strong> 65,000 acres of crown<br />

l<strong>and</strong>s, the 700 head cow-calf <strong>and</strong> 700<br />

breakfast business for the 36 acre<br />

property with elaborate gardens, a<br />

three-storey manor featuring a 300<br />

seat ballroom <strong>and</strong> full staff.<br />

“This is a big change from the<br />

ranch,” said Guichon, 65, who took<br />

up her post Nov. 2, replacing Steven<br />

Point, a former judge <strong>and</strong> First<br />

Nations leader.<br />

In early November, she hosted a<br />

large dinner at Government House<br />

honouring long-service provincial<br />

government employees <strong>and</strong> earlier<br />

that week was in Vancouver for an<br />

emergency services event, just two of<br />

the roughly 300 functions she will<br />

attend each year.<br />

Guichon wasn’t sure why she was<br />

picked but she is aware that her<br />

appointment was supported by federal<br />

<strong>and</strong> provincial politicians from<br />

various parties.<br />

When prime minister Stephen<br />

Harper’s office called her in September<br />

to ask if she wanted to be B.C.’s<br />

new lieutenant governor, she at first<br />

thought it was a joke. Now, as she<br />

settles into the position, Guichon<br />

plans to take the job seriously.<br />

“I hope I can help raise the level of<br />

awareness of what agriculture does<br />

for the country <strong>and</strong> how important it<br />

is,” she said in an interview at Government<br />

House.<br />

That’s crucial for Guichon because<br />

Canada needs to ensure it has the next<br />

generation of farmers. Her family is<br />

doing fine, with her son, Michael, <strong>and</strong><br />

daughter, Allison, <strong>and</strong> their families<br />

running the ranch. Guichon has two<br />

other grown children.<br />

Lawrence’s descendants came from<br />

France to the Cariboo goldfields in<br />

1862 <strong>and</strong> arrived in the Nicola Valley<br />

in 1866.<br />

Having her children, the fifth<br />

generation, take over is part of the<br />

succession-retirement plan for<br />

Guichon <strong>and</strong> her second husb<strong>and</strong><br />

Bruno Mailloux, an invasive plant<br />

specialist.<br />

Guichon said it is crucial that people,<br />

particularly in urban areas,<br />

learn about the value of agriculture<br />

<strong>and</strong> that it needs to be sustained.<br />

When it come to farming <strong>and</strong> ranching,<br />

distinct knowledge about individual<br />

pieces of l<strong>and</strong> isn’t something<br />

that can be read in a book, she<br />

added. It is learned by seeing <strong>and</strong><br />

doing.<br />

“Every piece of property is so<br />

unique,” Guichon said.<br />

A steward of the l<strong>and</strong>, Guichon said<br />

urbanites, in particular young people<br />

more interested in consumerism<br />

<strong>and</strong> gaming, must learn that farmers<br />

<strong>and</strong> ranchers provide more than<br />

food <strong>and</strong> are more than peasants.<br />

Clean air, clean water, new topsoil,<br />

species habitat <strong>and</strong> carbon sequestration<br />

are important things that<br />

come from farms <strong>and</strong> ranches, she<br />

said.<br />

Guichon was born in Montreal <strong>and</strong><br />

raised on a farm near Hawkesbury,<br />

Ont. She moved to B.C. in 1972. She<br />

<strong>and</strong> Lawrence introduced holistic<br />

l<strong>and</strong> management practices to B.C.<br />

ranchers. <strong>The</strong> third female president<br />

of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association,<br />

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP | XL FOODS<br />

Industry official welcomes JBS takeover of XL<br />

Foreign ownership not always bad | JBS has a good track record overseas <strong>and</strong> will open new markets, says Ted Haney<br />

<strong>The</strong> potential purchase of XL Foods<br />

assets by international meat giant<br />

JBS USA raises no concerns about<br />

foreign ownership for the former<br />

head of the Canadian Beef Export<br />

Ted Haney said there were no other<br />

the second one.”<br />

Haney said many in the industry<br />

were surprised when Nilsson Bros.<br />

bought the Brooks plant from U.S.based<br />

Tyson three years ago.<br />

JBS was thought to be a suitor at the<br />

time, he added, but didn’t see it as<br />

offering market access beyond what<br />

it already had through its earlier<br />

acquisition of Swifts.<br />

However, many markets have<br />

reopened to Canadian beef in recent<br />

years, <strong>and</strong> access to China in particular<br />

favours Canada.<br />

“I think what we’ve seen today is<br />

that, at the right price <strong>and</strong> with a<br />

recovery in market access, JBS has<br />

decided that this company is worth a<br />

very close look indeed.”<br />

He said JBS paid less for the Brooks<br />

plant <strong>and</strong> accompanying assets than<br />

what Nilsson Bros. paid Tyson, so<br />

price was obviously another factor.<br />

However, he said JBS is also a keen<br />

competitor to Cargill, which operates<br />

the largest federal beef processing<br />

plant in Canada at High River,<br />

Alta.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re not going to give Cargill a<br />

day’s rest in competing for cattle.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are going to compete hard with<br />

all the best suppliers, <strong>and</strong> that’s just<br />

good news for us.”<br />

Haney said JBS’s record of meat<br />

plants on several continents has<br />

proven its social contract to operate,<br />

while XL Foods’ lack of communication<br />

during the recall harmed its<br />

reputation.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re appeared to me to be a distinct<br />

lack of transparency, of accountability,<br />

of humility, of apology <strong>and</strong> in<br />

fact it called into question, I believe,<br />

quite quickly that ownership’s social<br />

contract to continue operations.”<br />

Export markets closed to beef from<br />

XL after the recall, <strong>and</strong> Haney said the<br />

slow pace of reopening those markets,<br />

now that the plant is operating under<br />

new management, is troubling.<br />

He said the delay might be due to<br />

other countries’ relationships with<br />

the Canadian Food Inspection Agency,<br />

which haven’t always been amicable.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> speed at which foreign regulators<br />

resume trade in beef from the<br />

Lakeside plant is in part a measurement<br />

of the confidence they have in<br />

the CFIA properly overseeing safe<br />

food production in the plant, <strong>and</strong> it is<br />

a measure of the quality of relationship<br />

between them so that they want<br />

to co-operate <strong>and</strong> act quickly,” said<br />

Haney.<br />

“I have no doubt that there’s a regulator<br />

or two around the world that<br />

sees this a little bit as their opportunity<br />

to balance the tables.”<br />

KELOWNA, B.C. — Jean Farina<br />

knows who to call when she needs<br />

fruit picked from her backyard trees<br />

— the Fruit Tree Project.<br />

Farina <strong>and</strong> husb<strong>and</strong>, Luigi, moved<br />

to West Kelowna from Langley, B.C.,<br />

five years ago <strong>and</strong> had searched for a<br />

gleaning group to take her excess<br />

fruit <strong>and</strong> vegetables.<br />

“I have been trying to promote this<br />

forever,” said Farina, who gives away<br />

a lot of the produce from her backyard<br />

garden, where she <strong>and</strong> Luigi<br />

grow a copious amount of fruit <strong>and</strong><br />

vegetables on their half-acre lot overlooking<br />

Okanagan Lake.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y were polite, prepared <strong>and</strong><br />

worked as a team,” she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y cleaned up after themselves<br />

<strong>and</strong> any leaves or branches that<br />

needed picking up they put in our<br />

green bin. Any fruit beyond saving<br />

was emptied into our compost. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

did everything.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fruit Tree Project, a child of the<br />

Central Okanagan Food Policy<br />

Council, was formed this year to turn<br />

fruit from thous<strong>and</strong>s of trees into a<br />

source of food for the community by<br />

harvesting otherwise wasted fruit.<br />

“In May, we went public <strong>and</strong> asked<br />

tree owners to register their trees<br />

with us,” said Casey Hamilton, cochair<br />

of the food policy council.<br />

“No one knew who we were, so we<br />

used Facebook for most of our campaigning.<br />

We had our first pick in<br />

July. We had about 10 volunteers <strong>and</strong><br />

we showed up at this man’s house.<br />

We descended on the cherry tree <strong>and</strong><br />

had it picked in an hour.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> group gave 30 pounds to the<br />

Salvation Army <strong>and</strong> 50 lb. to the food<br />

bank. <strong>The</strong> Salvation Army, food bank<br />

<strong>and</strong> Gospel Mission also received<br />

fruit when it picked an apple orchard.<br />

“Most of it had been picked, but<br />

there were quite a few apples left <strong>and</strong><br />

the owner <strong>and</strong> family came out <strong>and</strong><br />

helped,” said Laura Hsu, Fruit Tree<br />

Project co-ordinator.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> owner was totally passionate<br />

about sharing with people who are<br />

less fortunate. It was neat to see him<br />

passing on these values of caring for<br />

the community to his children.”<br />

Bill <strong>and</strong> Ursula Ulrich were two of<br />

the volunteers who helped pick<br />

almost 5,000 pounds of fruit in 31<br />

endeavours. <strong>The</strong>y also used their van<br />

to deliver the fruit.<br />

“We went out to one orchard <strong>and</strong><br />

there were more cherries than they<br />

could do anything with,” said Bill<br />

Ulrich. “And the last one we went to,<br />

It’s quite evident that if fruit isn’t<br />

gathered, it just goes to waste. <strong>The</strong>re’s<br />

a strong need for food banks to have<br />

good fruit like that.”<br />

Rob Weller, operations manager for<br />

the Kelowna food bank, said the<br />

organization appreciates the fresh<br />

fruit because it is such a staple of a<br />

healthy diet.<br />

“We’re not only feeding people but<br />

trying to get them the most nutritious<br />

food possible. And this year, we<br />

received the largest volume of fruit<br />

we have ever received.”<br />

the donated fruit.<br />

director for NOW, which runs a<br />

20-bed emergency shelter, three<br />

transition houses <strong>and</strong> 60 apartment<br />

units.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> ladies in the apartments<br />

weren’t just eating them fresh, but<br />

were making things with it. We had<br />

pies everywhere.”<br />

It was also nice to have the fruit<br />

delivered.<br />

“That was so fantastic,” Talbott said.<br />

“It was such a delight, the icing on<br />

the cake, with a smile <strong>and</strong> a chat.”<br />

Farm <strong>and</strong> Home Week<br />

<strong>The</strong> University of Saskatchewan, in co-operation with a<br />

number of farm organizations, established Farm Week, as<br />

it was called during the fi rst decade, to provide a forum for<br />

discussion of developments in agriculture <strong>and</strong> related fi elds.<br />

One of the main objectives of the program was to give<br />

farmers, their families, <strong>and</strong> staff of the College of Agriculture<br />

the opportunity to meet on campus to discuss matters of<br />

common interest relating to the agricultural industry. Over<br />

the years the program broadened to include many agencies<br />

<strong>and</strong> institutions, with several organizations holding their<br />

annual business meetings on campus during Farm <strong>and</strong><br />

Home Week.<br />

By 1981 over 60,000 persons had participated in Farm<br />

<strong>and</strong> Home since the week-long program began in 1933.<br />

Convocation Hall, College Building was the main venueorganization<br />

business meetings were held in the morning<br />

<strong>and</strong> lectures of interest to all took place in the afternoon.<br />

‘Charter’ members of Farm Week included Saskatchewan<br />

Agricultural Societies, the Field Husb<strong>and</strong>ry Association, <strong>and</strong><br />

the Seed Growers Association. A seed fair <strong>and</strong> a parade<br />

of fi ne animals in the livestock pavilion were highlights for<br />

many years.<br />

In 1948 the name was exp<strong>and</strong>ed to “ Farm <strong>and</strong> Home<br />

Week” <strong>and</strong> that name continued for the life of the<br />

program. Organizations came <strong>and</strong> went but two very<br />

signifi cant entries were the Rapeseed (now Canola) Grower’s<br />

Association of Saskatchewan in 1972 <strong>and</strong> the Pulse Grower’s<br />

Association of Saskatchewan in 1978.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Farm <strong>and</strong> Home Week program was moved to<br />

February <strong>and</strong> 1992 was the last time the program was held<br />

as a university event. Since then organizations have formed<br />

“ Crop Week” <strong>and</strong> the January tradition of meetings <strong>and</strong><br />

RECYCLING | FARM WASTE<br />

BY WILLIAM DEKAY<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

Saskatchewan farmers may soon<br />

be able to dispose of their plastic<br />

waste in more environmentally sustainable<br />

ways.<br />

A pilot program for farm waste now<br />

underway is scheduled to end April<br />

2014.<br />

It is one of several pilot programs<br />

on the Prairies that will study how to<br />

best collect, recycle <strong>and</strong> reuse plastic<br />

waste used on farms.<br />

“It’s a waste of resources <strong>and</strong> really<br />

it’s a waste of jobs because people<br />

can recycle <strong>and</strong> reuse these materials,”<br />

said Barry Friesen, general manager<br />

of CleanFarms, a non-profit<br />

industry stewardship organization.<br />

“That’s what CleanFarms is all<br />

about. To take these materials that in<br />

the past had no home <strong>and</strong> to provide<br />

new uses for them.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> organization operates a<br />

national empty pesticide <strong>and</strong> fertilizer<br />

container collection program<br />

<strong>and</strong> an obsolete pesticide collection<br />

campaign.<br />

A recent study found that farmers<br />

in British Columbia dispose of 5,500<br />

tonnes of packaging waste a year. As<br />

well, 32,000 tonnes of packaging<br />

used to transport farm products to<br />

retail stores <strong>and</strong> households leaves<br />

B.C. farms annually.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> study shows there are a lot of<br />

different types of waste on farms, like<br />

plastic <strong>and</strong> cardboard, that needs<br />

programs that will allow farmers to<br />

recycle those products,” said Friesen.<br />

“We know through our existing<br />

programs that farmers are willing to<br />

participate in stewardship schemes.<br />

Now we have the information we<br />

need to develop new programs to<br />

benefit farmers <strong>and</strong> the environment.”<br />

Like the B.C. study, Friesen said the<br />

first step in other provinces is to find<br />

out how much waste is on farms <strong>and</strong><br />

how best to collect <strong>and</strong> recycle it.<br />

Leading the list of waste on the<br />

Prairies are the plastic field bags that<br />

farmers use to store their grain, bale<br />

wrap that producers use to cover<br />

their hay, twine <strong>and</strong> netting.<br />

Friesen said it is difficult to determine<br />

the amount of plastic waste<br />

until studies are completed or updated.<br />

This is particularly the case with<br />

grain bags, which are a relatively new<br />

technology.<br />

“Less than 10 years of usage <strong>and</strong> as<br />

farms change their equipment <strong>and</strong><br />

get bigger, we’re going to see an<br />

increase in plastic being used.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Saskatchewan environment<br />

ministry is funding a grain bag <strong>and</strong><br />

twine recycling pilot program in<br />

Moose Jaw.<br />

CleanFarms has been asked to<br />

work with the manufacturers of these<br />

products to see if a stewardship program<br />

is possible similar to the successful<br />

collection of pesticide containers.<br />

Friesen gives high marks to farmers<br />

for this particular success.<br />

“A very high percentage of them<br />

want to do the right thing. We collect<br />

66 percent of all pesticide containers<br />

<strong>and</strong> it’s a voluntary program in<br />

almost every province. I think that’s a<br />

testament to the fact that they’ll do<br />

the right thing if given the tools to do<br />

the job.”<br />

He predicted that governments will<br />

eventually force manufacturers to<br />

consider recycling, particularly with<br />

General store<br />

delivers the goods<br />

for 65 years<br />

Community hub | Pick up mail or gas up<br />

the vehicle, then sit down with a fresh baked<br />

doughnut at the Crooked Creek General Store<br />

BY RANDY VANDERVEEN<br />

FREELANCE WRITER<br />

CROOKED CREEK, Alta. — <strong>The</strong><br />

general store has been the heart of<br />

rural communities across the West<br />

for generations.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have served as the local<br />

grocer, hardware store, post office,<br />

coffee shop <strong>and</strong> all-purpose gathering<br />

place for thous<strong>and</strong>s of Canadians.<br />

But in recent years, they have fallen<br />

out of popular rural culture <strong>and</strong> few<br />

remain st<strong>and</strong>ing today.<br />

But in Crooked Creek, the general<br />

store continues to serve as the hub of<br />

the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Crooked Creek General Store,<br />

which was taken over by new owners<br />

Louis <strong>and</strong> Ethel Eidse <strong>and</strong> Linda<br />

Thiessen in April, provides services<br />

many urban residents access at several<br />

different locations.<br />

It is fitting that the Eidses took over<br />

the store with its historic link to the<br />

community because their gr<strong>and</strong>parents<br />

were among the first group of<br />

four people to settle in the area in the<br />

late 1920s. <strong>The</strong>y claimed their homestead<br />

in 1928 <strong>and</strong> moved to the area<br />

in 1929.<br />

“My mother is the only one still<br />

alive of the original group of people<br />

who came here,” Louis says as he<br />

sorts the day’s mail.<br />

<strong>The</strong> store, which was built in 1947,<br />

serves as the post office, fueling station,<br />

corner store, bakery <strong>and</strong> coffee<br />

shop for the communities of Crooked<br />

Creek <strong>and</strong> Ridge Valley located<br />

between Gr<strong>and</strong>e Prairie <strong>and</strong> Valleyview.<br />

While the post office, fuel, <strong>and</strong> grocery<br />

store have been part of the store<br />

since it was first built, the fresh<br />

baked goods have provided a new<br />

option, attracting locals <strong>and</strong> workers<br />

in the area, as well as passersby,<br />

who stop for fresh doughnuts baked<br />

daily.<br />

<strong>The</strong> change in ownership <strong>and</strong><br />

the store’s services are not the<br />

only changes in the store’s 65 year<br />

history.<br />

<strong>The</strong> store was moved north in 1956<br />

to its present location after the highway<br />

was relocated.<br />

WORLD IN BRIEF<br />

RESEARCH<br />

Pig genome map may<br />

help fight disease<br />

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) —<br />

Scientists have mapped the genome<br />

of the domestic pig in a project that<br />

could enhance the animal’s use for<br />

meat production <strong>and</strong> the testing of<br />

drugs for human disease.<br />

A study published in science<br />

journal Nature identified genes<br />

that could be linked with illnesses<br />

suffered by farmed pigs, providing a<br />

reference tool for selective breeding<br />

to increase their resistance to<br />

disease.<br />

“This new analysis helps us<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> the genetic mechanisms<br />

that enable high quality pork<br />

production, feed efficiency <strong>and</strong><br />

resistance to disease,” said Sonny<br />

Ramaswany, director of the United<br />

States Department of Agriculture’s<br />

National Institute of Food <strong>and</strong><br />

Agriculture.<br />

EU BUDGET<br />

EU aims to soothe<br />

Britain<br />

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) —<br />

European Union chief Herman Van<br />

Rompuy tabled a compromise draft<br />

EU budget, aiming to mollify Britain,<br />

which wants spending cuts, but<br />

risking angering France by reducing<br />

farm subsidies.<br />

Britain has threatened to veto the<br />

seven-year budget, saying the EU<br />

should limit spending. Germany,<br />

Sweden <strong>and</strong> the Netherl<strong>and</strong>s have<br />

dem<strong>and</strong>ed similar restraint.<br />

Van Rompuy’s draft would<br />

reduce the roughly one trillion euro<br />

proposed budget for 2014-20 by<br />

about 80 billion euros.<br />

<strong>The</strong> proposal also safeguards a<br />

budget rebate paid to Britain each<br />

year to compensate for the relatively<br />

small amount of agricultural<br />

subsidies it receives, a payment<br />

many other countries resent but<br />

recognize would be politically<br />

difficult to withdraw.<br />

Under the proposal, all EU<br />

countries would share the cost.<br />

FARM POLICY<br />

U.S. ag secretary urges<br />

action on farm bill<br />

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) —<br />

American agriculture secretary Tom<br />

Vilsack has urged Congress to break<br />

a logjam <strong>and</strong> pass a reform-minded<br />

Where research meets reality.<br />

Farming is large-scale, <strong>and</strong> at DuPont Pioneer, we think seed trials should reflect real farming.<br />

That’s why each year we test our seed products in more trials than any other seed company in<br />

<strong>Western</strong> Canada – over 1000 large-scale Proving Ground trials of canola, corn <strong>and</strong> soybeans.<br />

TOM VILSACK<br />

U.S. AGRICULTURE<br />

SECRETARY<br />

farm bill, but two lobbyists said the<br />

deadlocked $500 billion bill may<br />

not be enacted for months, or even<br />

a year.<br />

Vilsack, who is expected to stay<br />

in his position for at least the start<br />

of president Barack Obama’s<br />

second term, said the agriculture<br />

department “would do everything<br />

we can” to implement a new farm<br />

bill in time for the 2013 harvest next<br />

fall.<br />

With deficit reduction at the<br />

top of the agenda for lawmakers,<br />

Vilsack said “reform becomes a very<br />

MANITOBA<br />

important component” for the farm<br />

bill, already six weeks overdue.<br />

Months ago Obama suggested<br />

$33 billion in agricultural cuts, <strong>and</strong><br />

analysts say the best chance to pass<br />

a farm bill this year would be to use<br />

its budget cuts as part of an overall<br />

plan to reduce the federal deficit.<br />

But they see little chance of a<br />

budget pact <strong>and</strong> say the farm bill is a<br />

minor issue for lawmakers to spend<br />

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) —<br />

Australia’s GrainCorp rejected a<br />

global grains sector amid intense<br />

competition to feed fast-developing<br />

countries seeking food security.<br />

GrainCorp is the last available<br />

independent large asset in Australia,<br />

Awards recognize best in<br />

agricultural innovation<br />

BY MICHAEL RAINE<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

This year’s 50 top innovations in agricultural<br />

engineering have been<br />

awarded, including a larger than usual<br />

number of products that could potentially<br />

be used in <strong>Western</strong> Canada.<br />

Each year, a panel of agricultural<br />

engineers from the American Society<br />

of Agricultural <strong>and</strong> Biological Engineers<br />

chooses what it feels are the<br />

most innovative products to reach<br />

the international marketplace. <strong>The</strong><br />

association’s Resource Magazine<br />

sponsors the awards.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best of these will be chosen for<br />

further recognition at the ASABE<br />

technology conference held in conjunction<br />

with Ag Connect Expo in<br />

Kansas City this winter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Producer</strong> will feature<br />

several of the top 50 innovations in<br />

the upcoming weeks. Visit bit.ly/<br />

As well, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Producer</strong> will<br />

cover the top finalists from the ASA-<br />

BE annual conference next year.<br />

One of the winners was Versatile’s<br />

new ML Series precision air drill.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new hoe drill relies on an independent<br />

shank with parallel linkage but<br />

doesn’t use hydraulic pressure to<br />

ensure continuous ground following for<br />

precision seed <strong>and</strong> fertilizer placement.<br />

John Deere has made new automation<br />

available that is coupled with its<br />

harvest telematics to allow combine<br />

operators to assume control of a<br />

Deere tractor pulling a grain cart.<br />

Once the combine has control, it<br />

can synchronize speed <strong>and</strong> lateral<br />

position of the cart <strong>and</strong> tractor while<br />

unloading on the go.<br />

Machine Sync also provides logistics<br />

information such as tank filling<br />

status for multiple combines on the<br />

company’s GreenStar 3, 2630 Display.<br />

Tractor <strong>and</strong> cart operators can decide<br />

which combine will need unloading<br />

first based on the screen information.<br />

<strong>The</strong> KSi Model 2114 high‐capacity<br />

conveyor with drive‐over swing‐<br />

<strong>The</strong> drive-over belt is 30 inches wide<br />

while the loader belt is 21 inches. <strong>The</strong><br />

loader can push 10,000 bushels per<br />

hour inside its 14-inch tube. <strong>The</strong> unit<br />

uses dual drives to lift grain <strong>and</strong> oilseeds<br />

up to a 36 degree angle while maintaining<br />

even tension across the belt width.<br />

<strong>The</strong> drive‐over section folds beside<br />

the main conveyor during transport<br />

<strong>and</strong> is hydraulically shifted into position<br />

for loading or trailing. It is available<br />

in 85, 100 <strong>and</strong> 115 foot lengths.<br />

is a high capacity bale feeder<br />

for beef cattle producers. Its cut control<br />

system produces quality feed<br />

while its self cleaning rotor keeps net<br />

<strong>and</strong> twine from tying up the drum.<br />

An optional square bale kit allows<br />

round <strong>and</strong> square bales to be processed.<br />

A T-shaped frame unit relies<br />

on a slat <strong>and</strong> chain bed <strong>and</strong> offset<br />

rotor, keeping maintenance to a<br />

minimum.<br />

A pivoting spout allows the Casein<br />

Axial Flow 230 combines to aim grain<br />

unloading within the truck or cart.<br />

A computer system learns <strong>and</strong><br />

retains the location that is being used,<br />

but it can be instantly directed to<br />

another position for differing boxes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> stream can be diverted up to two<br />

feet without loss of unload capacity.<br />

When disengaged, the unit becomes<br />

a grain saver by pivoting up to stop the<br />

dribble of grain from the auger.<br />

Corn planter effective in precision canola seeding<br />

Vacuum planter used<br />

| Manitoba field trial<br />

showed wide row<br />

spacing viable in canola<br />

BY RON LYSENG<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

A corn planter places canola seed<br />

more accurately than does an air<br />

drill, according to producers who<br />

have tried it.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> accurate seed placement of a<br />

planter is the big factor. That’s what<br />

makes this whole idea potentially<br />

viable,” says Andrew Dalgarno, a<br />

canola grower from Newdale, Man.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re was a lot of talk last winter<br />

about guys sowing canola with a corn<br />

planter. <strong>The</strong>y were cutting way back<br />

on their seeding rate <strong>and</strong> still getting<br />

an acceptable st<strong>and</strong>, so we decided<br />

to try it this year.”<br />

Dalgarno, a partner in Pen-Dale<br />

Farms Ltd., conducted trials comparing<br />

a John Deere 7300 vacuum<br />

planter on 22 inch spacings to a<br />

Bourgault 5710 <strong>and</strong> a Seed Hawk.<br />

He also conducted six trials on soybeans<br />

<strong>and</strong> grain corn.<br />

Dalgarno compiles a Post-Harvest<br />

Report every fall that he sends to<br />

those who toured his plots during the<br />

summer or expressed interest in his<br />

trials. <strong>The</strong> following information is<br />

“AC” is an official mark used under license from Agriculture <strong>and</strong> Agri-Food Canada.<br />

Precision planting with a Monosem vacuum planter in trials near Lacombe, Alta., proved effective. However, the 18 inch <strong>and</strong> 24 inch spacings took<br />

longer to canopy. <strong>The</strong> 24 inch spacings were in flower prior to canopy. <strong>The</strong> seedling mortality appeared to be similar with both planter <strong>and</strong> air<br />

seeder, but planter seedlings had a better chance of becoming full grown, yield producing plants. | CRAIG SHAW PHOTOS<br />

He also wanted to test the use of a<br />

vacuum planter on canola.<br />

<strong>The</strong> field was too wet to seed in<br />

2011 so it ended up as chemfallow.<br />

In late summer, a Salford RTS was<br />

used to dry out the soil, chop the<br />

weeds <strong>and</strong> provide light tillage.<br />

He noticed during the fall anhydrous<br />

ammonia application <strong>and</strong> the<br />

spring pre-seed burn off <strong>and</strong> seeding<br />

that the RTS had left the field smooth<br />

with an almost ideal seedbed.<br />

Anhydrous ammonia was applied<br />

in the fall at 57 pounds of nitrogen per<br />

acre, while a phosphorus, potassium<br />

<strong>and</strong> nitrogen blend of fertilizer was<br />

b<strong>and</strong>ed in the spring before seeding.<br />

Soil test results indicated a blend of<br />

36 lb. per acre of phosphorus, 19 lb.<br />

per acre of potassium <strong>and</strong> 22 lb. per<br />

acre of sulfur. This also produced an<br />

additional 27 lb per acre of nitrogen.<br />

A pre-seed burnoff of Cleanstart<br />

was used because Roundup Ready<br />

canola had previously been planted<br />

on the field.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bourgault <strong>and</strong> Seed Hawk plots<br />

were seeded May 17 <strong>and</strong> the John<br />

Wider seeding spaces, up to 18 inches, <strong>and</strong> lighter seeding rates didn’t<br />

have a large negative impact on the planter seeding plots near Lacombe,<br />

to support the canola windrows.<br />

Wide row spacing<br />

a challenge in canola<br />

Seeding with corn planter | Seed treatment plugs holes<br />

BY RON LYSENG<br />

WINNIPEG BUREAU<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s who have tried seeding<br />

canola on wide row spacings are cautiously<br />

optimistic <strong>and</strong> taking steps to<br />

solve the problems that have<br />

occurred.<br />

Some growers have used their air<br />

drills, but most have opted for a corn<br />

planter from Deere, Case, Kinze or<br />

Monosem.<br />

However, the problem is the same<br />

no matter which planter they use:<br />

seed treatment flakes off the seed<br />

<strong>and</strong> plugs the tiny holes in the metering<br />

disc.<br />

However, there are solutions to the<br />

plugging problem, said Jesse Beach,<br />

precision farming specialist with<br />

Future Ag, the Case IH dealer in Red<br />

Deer.<br />

“One of our customers developed a<br />

blow-out system that uses compressed<br />

air to keep the holes clean,”<br />

said Beach.<br />

Beach said the only option for<br />

cleaning the holes was a star wheel<br />

from John Deere until the pneumatic<br />

system was installed on a Case planter<br />

last year.<br />

Deere vacuum planter plots were<br />

planted May 21. Soil temperatures<br />

were 18 to 20 C. Target depth for all<br />

plots was three-quarters of an inch.<br />

Speed was four m.p.h.<br />

Emergence on the Seed Hawk plots<br />

was excellent.<br />

Dalgarno said the Seed Hawk at<br />

three to four lb. seed per acre seemed<br />

to be similar in timing to the Bourgault<br />

at five lb. per acre.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Seed Hawk plots with the<br />

lighter seeding rates required more<br />

“<strong>The</strong> star wheel would ride over the<br />

holes as the disc spun. <strong>The</strong> little fingers<br />

would poke through the holes<br />

<strong>and</strong> keep them clean as the disc went<br />

around,” Beach said.<br />

“That’s what farmers have been<br />

using to keep the holes open. <strong>The</strong><br />

problem is that the star wheel is plastic<br />

so they broke.<br />

“A farmer I was working with came<br />

up with the idea of blowing air<br />

through the disc periodically. You get<br />

to the end of the row, hit the switch to<br />

give the discs a blast of air <strong>and</strong> the<br />

holes stay open.”<br />

Beach said most planters have<br />

compressed air, so it’s not a big deal<br />

to run the pressure lines to the metering<br />

discs. <strong>The</strong>re’s a spot on the disc<br />

that’s open to the atmosphere, he<br />

added, <strong>and</strong> the air blows through<br />

that hole.<br />

Any loose seed treatment in the<br />

chamber is blown out the hole.<br />

Beach said he knows of only one<br />

planter that has a blow-out system to<br />

keep the holes open.<br />

Future Ag orders blank discs from<br />

Case <strong>and</strong> gets them drilled at a<br />

machine shop in Red Deer.<br />

Beach said the grower he was work-<br />

time to branch out to fill in the space<br />

in the field before flowering began.<br />

<strong>The</strong> John Deere planter plots<br />

seemed to be slightly behind the<br />

other plots throughout the growing<br />

season.<br />

However, he said this might be<br />

because of the four day delay in<br />

planting <strong>and</strong> the fact that the rest of<br />

the plots received six millimetres of<br />

rain May 19.<br />

<strong>The</strong> swather operator reported that<br />

ing with did all the research <strong>and</strong><br />

development work himself on the<br />

blow-out system.<br />

“He did a lot of experimenting <strong>and</strong><br />

testing in the field before he got it the<br />

way he wanted. He went through four<br />

or five sets of discs before he was able<br />

to find the number that works. He<br />

ended up with 140 holes.<br />

“At that number, the disc isn’t spin-<br />

per acre swathed easier. <strong>The</strong> plants<br />

were well knitted together <strong>and</strong> stood<br />

up well. <strong>The</strong> low rates of two <strong>and</strong><br />

three lb. per acre were harder to<br />

swath.<br />

Extreme winds Sept. 11-12 blew<br />

the swaths quite a bit. Delgarno said<br />

this was the first time he had ever<br />

seen a canola swath hanging off a<br />

power line.<br />

reasonable set of results.<br />

Walking axle technology | Reduced cutting angle<br />

SASKATOON NEWSROOM<br />

A new disc drill designed to work<br />

faster <strong>and</strong> boost seed placement<br />

accuracy is expected to be available<br />

soon to prairie farmers.<br />

Morris Industries has been researching<br />

<strong>and</strong> designing their new<br />

depth controlled opener system<br />

since 2009. It tried nine different<br />

opener systems on a plot drill in a<br />

variety of field conditions.<br />

Ultimately, it settled on a 20 inch<br />

from a hydraulic system similar to<br />

technology, in which disc <strong>and</strong> packer<br />

work against one another.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> disc is connected on a walking<br />

axle to packing wheel,” Henry said.<br />

“It pivots in the middle, so if the front<br />

disc wants to ride out of the ground<br />

the back packer will force it back in.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> walking axle allowed Morris to<br />

reduce the cutting angle the discs need<br />

to penetrate the soil. As a result, Henry<br />

said, there is less smearing on the disc<br />

<strong>and</strong> the furrow is easier to close.<br />

To apply pressure on the opener,<br />

Morris uses a hydraulic down pressure<br />

system.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is a cylinder on every one of<br />

the disc openers. We use an accumulator<br />

in the system. So once you put<br />

the unit into the ground with your<br />

tractor, you can release your remote<br />

<strong>and</strong> then oil is exchanged through<br />

the accumulator as it goes over the<br />

contours of the ground.”<br />

To improve seed placement accuracy<br />

the easily adjustable gauge<br />

wheels are on the discs where seed<br />

placement takes place.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gauge wheel has spokes, allowing<br />

mud to flow through in wet conditions<br />

preventing build up, which<br />

can stop the disc, Henry said.<br />

To reduce seed bounce, the seed<br />

table is backward swept to the disc so<br />

it drops seed in the same direction of<br />

travel.<br />

Last summer, Morris fielded four<br />

prototype drills: one 40 foot drill in<br />

Kazakhstan <strong>and</strong> one in East Australia,<br />

as well as a 40 <strong>and</strong> 60 foot<br />

You can really pile on the<br />

acres with that machine. I was<br />

impressed. <strong>The</strong>re is no real<br />

downside to it. You can seed<br />

fast, field finish is very smooth,<br />

<strong>and</strong> seed placement is much<br />

more accurate than a shank.<br />

drill in Canada.<br />

Robert Misko farms near Bield,<br />

Man., <strong>and</strong> he seeded about 3,500<br />

acres into wheat, canola <strong>and</strong> corn<br />

with the 60 foot prototype last spring.<br />

<strong>The</strong> seeder allowed Misko to seed at<br />

about 7.5 m.p.h., <strong>and</strong> seed up to 60<br />

acres per hour.<br />

“You can really pile on the acres<br />

with that machine,” Misko said.<br />

“I was impressed. <strong>The</strong>re is no real<br />

downside to it. You can seed fast, field<br />

finish is very smooth <strong>and</strong> seed placement<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no shortage of stones or<br />

awkward fields in the Bield hills, but<br />

Misko said the drill performed well in<br />

challenging conditions.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y don’t actually apply that<br />

much force in the ground. <strong>The</strong> disc<br />

can come out quickly <strong>and</strong> go up <strong>and</strong><br />

over when it hits a stone,” Misko said.<br />

probably do more in an hour than an<br />

85 foot drill with shanks. A 60 foot<br />

drill is a big machine, but it’s much<br />

better then an 85 foot or 90 foot drill<br />

when you’re trying to get into difficult<br />

places.”<br />

Misko said independent openers<br />

that have the gauge wheel two or<br />

three feet behind the opener will<br />

never be as accurate in terms of<br />

depth control as drills like this model<br />

that have the gauge wheel right<br />

beside the coulter.<br />

“When you hit a lump the shank<br />

goes right through it before the tire<br />

can pick it up. <strong>The</strong>n when the gauge<br />

wheel does hit the lump, it picks the<br />

shank up two feet past where it needed<br />

to be brought up,” Misko said.<br />

“This machine has a gauge wheel<br />

right beside the disc, so wherever<br />

you set it at, that’s where it sits at.”<br />

Morris is selling 10 units around the<br />

world this spring, <strong>and</strong> plan on being<br />

40, 50 <strong>and</strong> 60-foot models, which will<br />

be offered with 7.5, 10 <strong>and</strong> 15 inch<br />

row spacing.<br />

“We think the machine is ready to<br />

go, but we want to put a manageable<br />

number of them out there in case<br />

there is something we haven’t seen<br />

yet, so we will be able to react to it in a<br />

small way <strong>and</strong> make the changes<br />

Subjects sought<br />

for weight study<br />

High fibre pea cookies will<br />

be fed to study the effects<br />

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />

CALGARY BUREAU<br />

Three cookies a day could make the<br />

pounds melt away.<br />

<strong>The</strong> University of Calgary is seeking<br />

60 people between the ages of 18 <strong>and</strong><br />

70 who are overweight or obese to<br />

participate in a study in which they<br />

eat three high fibre cookies a day.<br />

<strong>The</strong> study begins in January <strong>and</strong><br />

ends in April.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cookies will resemble a dry<br />

biscuit <strong>and</strong> contain 15 grams of fibre<br />

from dry, yellow peas. <strong>The</strong> recipe is<br />

being formulated <strong>and</strong> tested for palatability<br />

at the Food Processing<br />

Development Centre in Leduc, Alta.<br />

“We decided to test one pea ingredient<br />

at a time,” said Raylene Reimer,<br />

a researcher <strong>and</strong> dietician with the U<br />

of C’s faculty of kinesiology.<br />

“In animal models, we have tests<br />

with pea flour <strong>and</strong> the fibre, <strong>and</strong> they<br />

both have good properties.”<br />

Food guides recommend eating<br />

about half a cup of pulses per day, but<br />

few people do.<br />

“We know there are lots of good<br />

health properties in legumes, so if<br />

people eat the whole legumes, we<br />

can see benefits for blood cholesterol,<br />

with weight management, with<br />

controlling blood sugar,” she said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> university contacted pulse<br />

grower organizations to obtain supplies<br />

of peas, but the commissions<br />

are not funding the study.<br />

<strong>The</strong> study asks participants to eat<br />

three cookies per day <strong>and</strong> fill out food<br />

records. <strong>The</strong>y must come to the university<br />

once a month to be weighed<br />

<strong>and</strong> to have their blood tested to<br />

assess cholesterol, insulin, glucose<br />

<strong>and</strong> inflammatory markers. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

also receive a body fat scan <strong>and</strong> bone<br />

mineral density test.<br />

Half the group will receive the high<br />

fibre cookie <strong>and</strong> the rest will receive a<br />

low or no fibre product for comparison.<br />

Men should eat 38 grams of fibre<br />

per day <strong>and</strong> women need 25 grams.<br />

<strong>The</strong> average Canadian eats 13 grams.<br />

Peas contain a mixture of soluble<br />

<strong>and</strong> insoluble fibre.<br />

survey of 241 regional bankers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> survey, along with reports<br />

from the Chicago <strong>and</strong> St Louis Fed<br />

banks, is a closely watched gauge of<br />

the U.S. farm economy. Farml<strong>and</strong> is<br />

basic collateral for most farm loans.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kansas City Fed district<br />

stretches across the major wheat,<br />

corn <strong>and</strong> cattle states of Colorado,<br />

Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma <strong>and</strong><br />

Wyoming <strong>and</strong> parts of New Mexico<br />

<strong>and</strong> Missouri.<br />

“Lenders continued to lower average<br />

interest rates on both farm real<br />

estate <strong>and</strong> farm operating loans to<br />

attract borrowers in an extremely<br />

NEWS<br />

competitive lending environment,”<br />

the bank said.<br />

It said the drought hurt farm<br />

incomes in the July-September quarter<br />

as escalating feed <strong>and</strong> fuel prices<br />

pushed production costs higher <strong>and</strong><br />

boosted dem<strong>and</strong> for farm loans.<br />

Sky-rocketing l<strong>and</strong> values have<br />

of a ruinous farml<strong>and</strong> bubble ,<br />

such as the one seen in the 1980s U.S.<br />

FARMFAIR | CHAMPIONS<br />

Angus breeders take supreme<br />

honours for second year<br />

Farmfair vital to marketing, say winners | Quality, not quantity, is focus of breeding program<br />

STORIES BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />

CAMROSE BUREAU<br />

EDMONTON — Lee <strong>and</strong> Dawn<br />

Wilson are modest in their answers,<br />

but the couple from Bashaw, Alta.,<br />

must be doing something right after<br />

winning supreme champion bull,<br />

supreme champion female <strong>and</strong><br />

supreme breeders herd at Farmfair<br />

for the second year in a row.<br />

“It is a consensus of opinion.<br />

Every single animal in the ring is a<br />

champion, so it could go to any one<br />

of them. We are fortunate to be<br />

named supreme, but there are so<br />

many really extremely good cattle<br />

in our industry. I guess we’re lucky,”<br />

Dawn said moments after six judges<br />

named their Red Angus bull,<br />

Black Angus female <strong>and</strong> breeders<br />

herd best of the 12 breeds in the<br />

show ring.<br />

“I am just speechless, it is just<br />

amazing, absolutely amazing,” said<br />

Dawn, whose family won another<br />

two trucks to go along with the pair<br />

won last year, bringing their total to<br />

five trucks won in recent years.<br />

Building a herd of winning cattle<br />

isn’t an overnight success, said<br />

Dawn, who began showing <strong>and</strong><br />

building a cattle herd more than 40<br />

years ago <strong>and</strong> continued with her<br />

husb<strong>and</strong> when they were married<br />

24 years ago.<br />

“We focus on females in our herd,<br />

but when we get the bulls along the<br />

way we are thrilled,” said Dawn,<br />

whose family runs the Miller Wilson<br />

farm.<br />

“It’s been a lot of years breeding.<br />

You can’t take away from the rest of<br />

the breed champions.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> couple continually searches<br />

for cattle that will fit in with their<br />

breeding program.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is all kind of good cattle in<br />

Canada <strong>and</strong> the world, <strong>and</strong> it’s a<br />

matter of going out there <strong>and</strong> seeing<br />

what is out there that fits in with<br />

your herd,” she said.<br />

“We focus on sound structural<br />

cattle, feet <strong>and</strong> muscle, the same as<br />

everyone else. We are always on the<br />

search for something new.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> couple runs 120 cows on their<br />

central Alberta farm, focusing on<br />

genetics, embryo <strong>and</strong> semen sales.<br />

“We don’t have a really large herd,<br />

but we try <strong>and</strong> focus on a good quality<br />

animal.”<br />

Wilson said her family spends<br />

hours working with the cattle, both<br />

at home <strong>and</strong> at shows throughout<br />

the year. <strong>The</strong>ir next trip is to Canadian<br />

<strong>Western</strong> Agribition in Regina.<br />

“We are very, very lucky to have<br />

three kids involved <strong>and</strong> nieces <strong>and</strong><br />

nephews that are tremendously<br />

helpful to us,” she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re are good cattlemen within<br />

our family, but a lot of good cattlemen<br />

within this industry we look to<br />

for guidance <strong>and</strong> direction as well.”<br />

Wilson said they don’t always get<br />

the breeding right. What looks good<br />

originally doesn’t turn out to be the<br />

showstopper they’re looking for.<br />

“Often we’re right, but sometimes<br />

we’re wrong, but that’s the fun of<br />

breeding cattle. You’re trying to mix<br />

parts <strong>and</strong> come up with the best<br />

piece you can make <strong>and</strong> that really<br />

is where our passion lies is in<br />

breeding.”<br />

Lee said it’s those years of trial<br />

<strong>and</strong> error that have built their cattle<br />

herd.<br />

“We change our mind daily <strong>and</strong><br />

they come <strong>and</strong> go,” said Lee, after<br />

the judges slapped the back of his<br />

Red Angus bull declaring it the<br />

supreme champion.<br />

Shows like Farmfair play a vital<br />

role in their marketing strategy,<br />

helping to show off their herd to<br />

people from overseas <strong>and</strong> across<br />

Alberta. Winning supreme champion<br />

is just one more way of<br />

encouraging prospective buyers to<br />

visit their farm, he said.<br />

“It’s always great advertising, but<br />

it allows us to advertise internationally<br />

<strong>and</strong> adds credibility to our<br />

program. If people aren’t at the<br />

show, people can look at the results<br />

<strong>and</strong> say, OK, someone thought<br />

they were good animals,” he said.<br />

“You have to show to export. You<br />

have to let our customers know<br />

how we st<strong>and</strong> within our peers.”<br />

FARMFAIR | MULTI-BREED SALE<br />

Australian farm<br />

buys prize<br />

heifer at sale<br />

BY MARY MACARTHUR<br />

CAMROSE BUREAU<br />

EDMONTON — With shaking<br />

h<strong>and</strong>s, Rachael Wheeler held her<br />

cellphone to her ear to get the final go<br />

ahead from her parents in Australia<br />

to nod her head one more time <strong>and</strong><br />

buy a bred heifer at the Headliner All<br />

Breed Sale at Farmfair International.<br />

Wheeler’s final bid of $27,000<br />

bought her DMM Blackcap Essence<br />

7Y, a Black Angus heifer from Miller<br />

Wilson Angus in Bashaw, Alta,<br />

owned by Lee <strong>and</strong> Dawn Wilson.<br />

“I’m still shaking. I think everyone<br />

could see how nervous I was. I show<br />

cows <strong>and</strong> I never get that nervous. It’s<br />

really nice to be able to come <strong>and</strong> do<br />

this,” said Wheeler of Dubbo, New<br />

South Wales.<br />

Wheeler’s parents, Michelle <strong>and</strong><br />

Daniel, used a live internet connection<br />

to watch the sale on their computer<br />

<strong>and</strong> give the nod for the final purchase.<br />

“It was a bit hard to hear,” she said.<br />

“Your auction system is a bit different<br />

than ours so I actually had someone<br />

here helping here. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />

watching the auction as it happened,<br />

live streamed. <strong>The</strong>y could see exactly<br />

what was happening. It was just a<br />

matter of keeping in touch <strong>and</strong> making<br />

sure we got it done.”<br />

It’s the fifth time Wheeler has travelled<br />

to Canada to check out <strong>and</strong> buy Canadian<br />

cattle for her aunt <strong>and</strong> uncle’s Hollywood<br />

Angus operation <strong>and</strong> now for<br />

her own family’s T & R Cattle.<br />

“We wanted to buy a good heifer<br />

over here <strong>and</strong> we wanted to buy the<br />

top one we could get,” she said.<br />

“She’s just a super made heifer. I’ve<br />

been over here four or five times, <strong>and</strong><br />

Lee <strong>and</strong> Dawn’s cattle have always<br />

been on the top of my list. <strong>The</strong>y’ve<br />

probably got one of the best breeding<br />

herds I’ve ever seen. This heifer just<br />

caught my eye. We liked her pedigree,<br />

we like her sire. When you look<br />

at all his progeny <strong>and</strong> offspring he’s<br />

had, they’ve all had that same gain.<br />

So we certainly knew we are going on<br />

the right track.”<br />

Wheeler said they plan to leave the<br />

heifer in Canada for future shows <strong>and</strong><br />

bring embryos from the heifer back<br />

to Australia for their own herd.<br />

Dawn Wilson said the heifer has<br />

been “pretty special right from a calf”<br />

<strong>and</strong> hoped it would bring a good<br />

price at the Headliner show.<br />

“You’re always hoping. You always<br />

hope your best ones are worth good<br />

dollars,” said Miller.<br />

It’s the third year for the multibreed<br />

sale at Farmfair. <strong>The</strong> owners of<br />

the top five animals in the judging<br />

before the sale <strong>and</strong> the people who<br />

bought them in the sale split $20,000<br />

in payout money.<br />

“It’s a great opportunity for people<br />

to take part in a sale,” Wilson said.<br />

CATTLE | GENETICS<br />

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH<br />

CALGARY BUREAU<br />

TORONTO — Holsteins trace back<br />

to a small number of key ancestors,<br />

which has some within the dairy<br />

industry concerned about inbreeding<br />

<strong>and</strong> loss of genetic diversity.<br />

This risk was discussed at the World<br />

Holstein Conference held in Toronto<br />

Nov. 6-7.<br />

Bulls with names like Starbuck <strong>and</strong><br />

Blackstar were pivotal breed influencers<br />

in North America <strong>and</strong> Australia.<br />

As the science of genomics advances,<br />

there is a chance breeders will<br />

select only the elite animals <strong>and</strong> create<br />

future problems. However, studying<br />

the genetics of thous<strong>and</strong>s of bulls<br />

shows there is a large gene pool.<br />

“One of the astonishing things<br />

when you do that is how much genetic<br />

variation still exists in our cattle,”<br />

said Ben Hayes, head of the Dairy<br />

Futures Co-operative Research Centre<br />

in Australia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> organization is working with<br />

other countries on the “1,000 bulls<br />

genome project,” which is sequencing<br />

the DNA of key ancestors within<br />

purebred cattle breeds.<br />

Eight groups are involved in the<br />

project, which has sequenced 236<br />

bulls <strong>and</strong> two cows, including 130<br />

Holstein, 48 Angus, 15 Jersey <strong>and</strong> 42<br />

Fleckvieh.<br />

Genomic information has allowed<br />

dairy cattle to achieve greater rates of<br />

genetic improvement in a shorter<br />

period of time, but it could also be<br />

associated with higher rates of<br />

inbreeding, said researcher Flavio<br />

Schenkel of the University of Guelph.<br />

Studies at Guelph showed a clear<br />

reduction in genetic variance among<br />

Holsteins from 1950 to 2006.<br />

Genomic selection started in 2009<br />

Breeders need to blend pedigree <strong>and</strong> genomic information to study the effects of inbreeding <strong>and</strong> find ways to<br />

control it, say researchers. | FILE PHOTO<br />

following the release of the bovine<br />

genome in 2007.<br />

“Genomic selection is expected to<br />

increase the loss of genetic variation<br />

due to inbreeding,” Schenkel said.<br />

Inbreeding, in which close relatives<br />

are mated, can cause a<br />

decrease in performance, lower<br />

milk production <strong>and</strong> reduced fitness<br />

of the animals as well as possible<br />

genetic defects.<br />

Breeders need to blend pedigree<br />

the effects of inbreeding <strong>and</strong> find<br />

often in the early stages of genomic<br />

more outcrosses are now being made<br />

rather than overusing the genetics of<br />

popular cattle.<br />

“It remains to be seen if this is a true<br />

trend or whether it is just a reflection<br />

of the sire c<strong>and</strong>idate population<br />

because we tend to see a lot of cyclicity,<br />

supreme champion dairy cow at the<br />

Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in<br />

Toronto.<br />

His cow, named RF Goldwyn<br />

Hailey, won the national Holstein<br />

show <strong>and</strong> in October was named<br />

supreme champion at the World<br />

Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin.<br />

His family owned operation, Gen-<br />

Com Holstein Ltd., bought the cow as<br />

a youngster at the Cowtown Holsteins<br />

sale in Vermont.<br />

“She is a perfect show cow <strong>and</strong><br />

she has done very well for us,” said<br />

Comtois.<br />

THE ROYAL | RED AND WHITE WINNER<br />

Its Holstein classification is an<br />

excellent 97. Born in April 2006, the<br />

cow has had four calves <strong>and</strong> 11 offspring.<br />

Embryos have been sold to Japan,<br />

Australia <strong>and</strong> Germany, <strong>and</strong> more<br />

offers to purchase were being made<br />

after the Royal show.<br />

<strong>The</strong> farm at Notre-Dame-du-Bon<br />

Conseil, Que., milks 130 cows <strong>and</strong><br />

has 500 head on site.<br />

<strong>The</strong> farm’s main business is livestock<br />

exports. Comtois has gathered<br />

thous<strong>and</strong>s of beef <strong>and</strong> dairy cattle<br />

from across Canada <strong>and</strong> exported<br />

them to Russia, Kazakhstan <strong>and</strong><br />

Ukraine. For the last five years he has<br />

exported milk cows to Russia.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y are looking for good, commercial<br />

milking cows,” he said during<br />

the Nov. 2-11 event.<br />

He also exports pigs, shipping<br />

30,000 purebred <strong>and</strong> F1 pigs to<br />

Cuba <strong>and</strong> Russia between 2004 <strong>and</strong><br />

2009.<br />

TORONTO — <strong>The</strong>re was a time<br />

when nobody liked to admit they<br />

owned a red <strong>and</strong> white Holstein.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se days they are the favourite<br />

flavour, says Glen McNeil, president<br />

of Holstein Canada.<br />

“If you had a red <strong>and</strong> white <strong>and</strong> a<br />

black <strong>and</strong> white, the red would sell<br />

for a higher price,” McNeil said.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have become so popular that<br />

a genome test will be released later<br />

this year for the red colour marker,<br />

<strong>and</strong> a test for the polled gene will be<br />

ready soon, he said at the sixth<br />

national red <strong>and</strong> white Holstein<br />

show at the Royal Agricultural Winter<br />

Fair held Nov. 2-11 in Toronto.<br />

<strong>The</strong> progress of this segment of the<br />

breed is growing, even though a<br />

smaller pool of red genetics is available.<br />

McNeil said they are more popular<br />

in Switzerl<strong>and</strong> than the traditional<br />

black <strong>and</strong> white, which is quite an<br />

achievement considering at one time<br />

they were culled.<br />

Some breeders are now looking to<br />

build an entire red herd, he added.<br />

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON MANAGEMENT<br />

Bison biosecurity<br />

the new normal<br />

Proactive measures | <strong>Producer</strong>s should<br />

identify risks <strong>and</strong> establish risk tolerances<br />

STORIES BY KAREN BRIERE<br />

REGINA BUREAU<br />

Biosecurity was not something a lot<br />

of bison producers worried about in<br />

the past.<br />

Bison herds had roamed wild <strong>and</strong><br />

free <strong>and</strong> most who began raising<br />

them on their farms did so because<br />

they required less management.<br />

But the past several years have seen<br />

a change in attitude about the importance<br />

of biosecurity measures on<br />

farms, between farms <strong>and</strong> at feedlots,<br />

said Murray Woodbury, the<br />

specialized livestock health <strong>and</strong> production<br />

research chair at the <strong>Western</strong><br />

College of Veterinary Medicine in<br />

Saskatoon.<br />

He said there has been a wide spectrum<br />

of producers emerging within<br />

the industry from those who want to<br />

maintain the historical integrity of<br />

bison to those who are into largescale<br />

ranches <strong>and</strong> feedlots <strong>and</strong> more<br />

intensive management.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cost of disease can become<br />

significant, regardless of where a<br />

producer is on the spectrum.<br />

Keeping disease off the farm in the<br />

first place is critical.<br />

“A lot of it is just common sense,”<br />

Woodbury told producers at the<br />

Canadian Bison Association annual<br />

convention Nov. 18 in Regina.<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s should identify what<br />

risks their bison face <strong>and</strong> establish<br />

their own risk tolerance.<br />

Those who say they have closed<br />

herds likely don’t. Vehicles, visitors<br />

<strong>and</strong> feed all make their way to farms<br />

<strong>and</strong> present risk. As well, there are<br />

risks within the herd.<br />

“Usually calves are born healthy<br />

<strong>and</strong> acquire disease from older animals,<br />

other animals, contaminated<br />

feed <strong>and</strong> equipment” <strong>and</strong> other<br />

things in the environment, Woodbury<br />

said. “Keep the young away<br />

from the old. Calve in a clean, dry<br />

location. Limit the intensity of animal<br />

contact.”<br />

Other things producers can do to<br />

keep disease risk low include limiting<br />

pen movement <strong>and</strong> cattle density<br />

<strong>and</strong> keeping healthy animals away<br />

from the sick.<br />

“Hospital pens are hospital pens,”<br />

he said.<br />

He also reminded producers to<br />

dispose of dead stock as soon as possible,<br />

except in the case of anthrax<br />

when disturbing the carcass could<br />

cause more disease.<br />

Coyotes could feed on carcasses<br />

<strong>and</strong> spread neospora, a highly transmissible<br />

disease that causes abortions,<br />

through their feces. <strong>The</strong> same<br />

transmission could occur if coyotes<br />

get into feed sources <strong>and</strong> defecate.<br />

Woodbury said other wildlife is a<br />

source of concern <strong>and</strong> should be<br />

watched. Deer can carry Johne’s disease,<br />

mice carry salmonella, flies cause<br />

pinkeye <strong>and</strong> close proximity to sheep<br />

can cause malignant catarrhal fever.<br />

Wildlife can also pose risks to water,<br />

<strong>and</strong> he recommends that a clean<br />

trough or pipeline system be used to<br />

ensure quality water.<br />

<strong>The</strong> risk between farms is mainly due<br />

to moving animals on <strong>and</strong> off farms.<br />

Most disease is transmitted from the<br />

newly acquired animals to the resident<br />

animals, not older to younger as it<br />

would within a farm, he said.<br />

“Purchase your stock from preferred<br />

buyers who have a preventative<br />

health <strong>and</strong> biosecurity plan,”<br />

Woodbury said.<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s should inspect the animals<br />

coming to their farms or have<br />

their veterinarians do it, <strong>and</strong> they<br />

should ask questions about herd<br />

health status, vaccinations <strong>and</strong><br />

treatment.<br />

In a feedlot situation, Woodbury said<br />

animals should be inspected upon<br />

arrival <strong>and</strong> placed into either a soft<br />

quarantine in adjacent pens or a hard<br />

quarantine in isolation for a time.<br />

Fences should be maintained both<br />

inside the feedlot <strong>and</strong> along the<br />

perimeter to ensure animals don’t<br />

escape or mix.<br />

Operators should keep a record of<br />

the movement <strong>and</strong> removal of<br />

manure.<br />

“And don’t use the same equipment<br />

to h<strong>and</strong>le feed,” he said.<br />

Continual risk management is a<br />

reality in the livestock business,<br />

Woodbury said.<br />

“Nothing is perfect,” he said.<br />

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION | BISON VACCINATIONS<br />

Bison immunization money well spent<br />

Bison entering feedlots could benefit from pneumonia vaccines<br />

Vaccinating bison remains a management<br />

option for producers who<br />

must rely on vaccines developed for<br />

beef cattle.<br />

Dr. Murray Woodbury, research<br />

chair in specialized livestock health<br />

<strong>and</strong> production at the <strong>Western</strong> College<br />

of Veterinary Medicine, said<br />

vaccines aren’t absolutely necessary<br />

but there might be reasons to administer<br />

them.<br />

For example, bison entering a feedlot<br />

could benefit from being vaccinated<br />

for some types of pneumonia.<br />

“You administer an appropriate<br />

vaccine to a healthy, unstressed<br />

bison <strong>and</strong> you will get a response<br />

that will protect the bison from the<br />

target disease under normal conditions,”<br />

he told those producers at the<br />

Canadian Bison Association con-<br />

vention Nov. 18.<br />

However, he asked them to note the<br />

qualifiers in his statement.<br />

Bison are rarely unstressed when<br />

being h<strong>and</strong>led <strong>and</strong> conditions aren’t<br />

always normal.<br />

He reminded producers that vaccination<br />

is not the same as immunization.<br />

As well, just because a vaccine<br />

was administered doesn’t mean<br />

a bison won’t get a disease.<br />

Immunization is a result of a process<br />

initiated in the body by the vaccine.<br />

He said a pathogen in sufficient<br />

numbers can overwhelm even the<br />

most competent immune system.<br />

“You have to have faith in your vaccine,”<br />

he said.<br />

<strong>Producer</strong>s who choose to vaccinate<br />

should be sure to follow the instruc-<br />

81<br />

tions regarding dosage <strong>and</strong> route.<br />

“Don’t just give it IB — intra-bison,”<br />

he said.<br />

Woodbury said producers should<br />

definitely not vaccinate against diseases<br />

that bison don’t get, such as<br />

bovine respiratory syncytial virus<br />

<strong>and</strong> parainfluenza-3.<br />

Pinkeye vaccines tend not to work<br />

well, while foot rot vaccines don’t last<br />

long in bison.<br />

On the other h<strong>and</strong>, anthrax vaccine<br />

can be a valuable tool, particularly in<br />

areas prone to the soil-borne disease.<br />

Seven- <strong>and</strong> eight-way vaccines<br />

seem to work well against blackleg in<br />

bison, <strong>and</strong> Woodbury said they are<br />

probably worth the money.<br />

“Vaccination is a waste of money.<br />

Immunization is money well spent,”<br />

he said.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS | SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY<br />

Diagnostic testing unable to achieve 100 percent accuracy<br />

ANIMAL HEALTH<br />

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC<br />

Vets use their knowledge<br />

<strong>and</strong> weigh other factors<br />

when interpreting results<br />

Veteri narians often rely on<br />

clinical <strong>and</strong> laboratory tests to<br />

diagnose disease in livestock<br />

species.<br />

Diagnostic tests can be as simple as<br />

listening to a rumen with a stethoscope<br />

or as complicated as a laboratory<br />

procedure that isolates <strong>and</strong><br />

identifies a particular virus or bacteria<br />

or measures a specific enzyme in<br />

the blood of an animal.<br />

In many situations, these diagnostic<br />

tests are an essential part of arriving<br />

at a more conclusive diagnosis or<br />

assisting with the development of a<br />

treatment plan.<br />

However, it is important to recognize<br />

that most diagnostic tests are not<br />

perfect tools. Test results can be misleading<br />

<strong>and</strong> in some situations may<br />

actually give the wrong answer.<br />

Let’s look at a common example in<br />

one diagnostic procedure that we<br />

commonly use in cattle.<br />

<strong>The</strong> diagnostic test for tritrichomonas<br />

foetus (trich) in cattle is a relatively<br />

straightforward procedure.<br />

This microscopic-sized, singlecelled<br />

parasite resides in the reproductive<br />

tract of cows <strong>and</strong> in the prepuce<br />

or sheath area of bulls. It is a<br />

venereal disease that is transmitted<br />

from bulls to cows <strong>and</strong> from cows to<br />

bulls by mating.<br />

When cows become infected, the<br />

parasite can cause early embryonic<br />

death <strong>and</strong> subsequent infertility in<br />

the cow herd.<br />

Veterinarians are often asked to test<br />

bulls for this parasite to make sure<br />

that we don’t bring an infected bull<br />

onto a breeding pasture.<br />

<strong>The</strong> collection method is fairly<br />

simple: take a sample by scraping the<br />

inside of the bull’s sheath with a<br />

pipette <strong>and</strong> then culture this sample<br />

in an incubator for several days in a<br />

special culture media designed for<br />

the parasite.<br />

<strong>The</strong> veterinarian or laboratory<br />

technician can then examine this<br />

sample under a microscope <strong>and</strong> look<br />

for the small, single-celled organism,<br />

which has typically multiplied in the<br />

culture media <strong>and</strong> now can be seen<br />

moving throughout the sample.<br />

However, it turns out that this parasite<br />

is tricky to grow, <strong>and</strong> in spite of<br />

doing everything correctly, we may<br />

be able to isolate the organism from<br />

infected bulls only 80 to 90 percent of<br />

the time.<br />

If I had a corral full of 100 bulls that<br />

were all infected with trich, I would<br />

identify only 85 of them as positive<br />

with this diagnostic test if I tested<br />

every bull. This is sometimes called<br />

the “sensitivity” of the diagnostic<br />

test.<br />

<strong>The</strong> test’s sensitivity is defined as<br />

how well it is able to identify diseased<br />

individuals. In this case, the test for<br />

trichomoniasis would have a sensi-<br />

growing canola they are looking for more than yield.<br />

With outst<strong>and</strong>ing yield potential, DEKALB br<strong>and</strong> canola hybrids also<br />

tivity of about 85 percent.<br />

It also means that there is a 15 percent<br />

chance that we could incorrectly<br />

classify an infected bull as negative<br />

when using this test.<br />

Veterinarians work around this<br />

potential diagnostic error by doing<br />

multiple tests on a bull to make sure it<br />

is negative.<br />

<strong>The</strong> requirement to have three<br />

negative trich tests is designed to get<br />

around the problem of imperfect<br />

sensitivity of the diagnostic test.<br />

We are sometimes asked to try to<br />

culture cows for this parasite, but the<br />

sensitivity is much lower <strong>and</strong> is probably<br />

less than 50 percent. We have so<br />

many false negatives that it really<br />

isn’t even worth the effort.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, all of the diagnostic<br />

efforts for trich are usually focused<br />

on the bull, where the test is a little<br />

more reliable.<br />

It turns out that it is possible to<br />

make a mistake in the diagnostic<br />

process <strong>and</strong> also have a false positive<br />

diagnosis. Other parasites that normally<br />

reside in the feces can sometimes<br />

be mistaken for trich if manure<br />

contaminates the culture media.<br />

A veterinarian or laboratory technician<br />

might mistake them for trich<br />

<strong>and</strong> call the bull positive when it is<br />

really negative.<br />

It turns out that this diagnostic<br />

error is much more uncommon,<br />

probably occurring in less than one<br />

percent of uninfected bulls.<br />

This diagnostic test characteristic is<br />

called “specificity” <strong>and</strong> refers to how<br />

FRANK STEVENS,<br />

DEKALB GROWER SINCE 2006<br />

GLENBORO, MB<br />

well the test correctly diagnoses<br />

uninfected animals. In this case, the<br />

test for trich would have a specificity<br />

of 99 percent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> diagnostic test for trich, with a<br />

sensitivity of 85 percent <strong>and</strong> a specificity<br />

of 99 percent, is quite a good<br />

one.<br />

Some diseases, such as Johne’s disease<br />

in cattle, are true diagnostic<br />

challenges <strong>and</strong> our best laboratory<br />

tests barely approach a sensitivity of<br />

50 percent.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are lots of false negative tests<br />

with this disease <strong>and</strong> it is difficult to<br />

screen herds effectively because of<br />

the poor sensitivity of the diagnostic<br />

tests.<br />

Sensitivity <strong>and</strong> specificity are<br />

important characteristics of all diagnostic<br />

tests. Every diagnostic test,<br />

from the clinical examination to the<br />

laboratory test, has a possibility of<br />

either a false positive or a false negative<br />

result.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se diagnostic tests are important<br />

tools for veterinarians <strong>and</strong> producers,<br />

but veterinarians are always<br />

trying to interpret the results, keeping<br />

in mind the characteristics <strong>and</strong><br />

probabilities of sensitivity <strong>and</strong><br />

specificity.<br />

Like many things in life, although we<br />

would like to have a clear cut answer<br />

to questions, we are still forced to<br />

deal with some uncertainty.<br />

BRANDON BUREAU<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canadian Lamb <strong>Producer</strong>s<br />

Co-operative was expecting to market<br />

sheep this fall, but regulatory<br />

delays have pushed plans back until<br />

“Our goal was we were going to be<br />

plants in Manitoba <strong>and</strong> Minnesota.<br />

Beans are a high-value product,<br />

which helped mask the poor performance<br />

of the company’s Canadian<br />

pea <strong>and</strong> lentil processing facilities.<br />

Earnings before interest, depreciation<br />

<strong>and</strong> amortization for the quarter<br />

was a loss of $2 million compared to<br />

EBITDA of $1.9 million for the 79-day<br />

period a year ago.<br />

One analyst noted Canada’s pea<br />

<strong>and</strong> lentil exports were good for the<br />

quarter. Horn said shipments were<br />

driven to places where Legumex has<br />

a lower market share <strong>and</strong> a lot of<br />

pound over prices in Ontario. It also<br />

plans to pay western <strong>and</strong> eastern<br />

Canadian producers the same price.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> Canadian farmers typically<br />

receive a $20 to $25 freight discount<br />

on lambs shipped to Toronto <strong>and</strong><br />

other major markets in Central<br />

Canada.<br />

“Our feasibility studies have been<br />

done on a national pricing system. It<br />

doesn’t matter where you live in the<br />

country, you’re going to get paid the<br />

same price,” Schroeder said.<br />

A federally inspected slaughter<br />

facility in the West will be needed to<br />

offset the discount, but the<br />

co-op doesn’t plan to build a plant.<br />

Schroeder said details on how the<br />

co-op will offer a consistent price in<br />

spite of the shipping differential will<br />

come in the near future when the coop<br />

begins selling memberships.<br />

product went out in bulk while the<br />

company usually ships containers.<br />

Sales were also hurt by reports of a<br />

good Canadian pulse harvest.<br />

“Buyers of certain products postponed<br />

purchases based on the<br />

expectation of a larger <strong>and</strong> less<br />

expensive new crop,” said Horn.<br />

“We also passed on some low margin<br />

business due to heightened<br />

credit risk.”<br />

Horn is confident the third quarter<br />

results were an anomaly. He sees<br />

normal sales in the fourth quarter.<br />

Governments have consistently<br />

lowered taxes over the<br />

last several years for business<br />

in general but especially for small<br />

business.<br />

It was intended to provide a stimulus<br />

for business <strong>and</strong> employment<br />

growth in this important sector of the<br />

economy.<br />

However, to a certain degree, the<br />

Small Business Deduction (SBD)<br />

also worked to stimulate a large<br />

increase in the number of small<br />

Canadian corporations that file their<br />

taxes under SBD rates.<br />

About 30 years ago, the government<br />

started clamping down on what it<br />

called Personal Service Businesses<br />

(PSBs) masquerading as small Canadian<br />

corporations.<br />

Generally speaking, the Canada<br />

Revenue Agency considers a person<br />

operating a business to be a PSB corporation<br />

if that person provides services<br />

to a client corporation that<br />

would normally be provided in the<br />

same manner if the person was an<br />

employee of the client corporation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> term “incorporated employee”<br />

is frequently used to describe this<br />

situation.<br />

What concerned the government<br />

was the loss of higher–taxed, salaried<br />

employees to lower taxed corporations.<br />

<strong>The</strong> government appears<br />

to be rethinking the strategy, or at<br />

least attempting to stem the loss of<br />

tax dollars as a result of this favoured<br />

treatment.<br />

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — CHS<br />

Inc. saw quarterly earnings jump 75<br />

percent from a year ago, boosted by<br />

strong commodity prices <strong>and</strong> a<br />

global network of facilities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Minnesota-based company,<br />

the largest farm co-operative in the<br />

United States, is making initial<br />

investments in Canada’s grain<br />

industry.<br />

It reported net income of $360.9<br />

million for its fiscal fourth quarter<br />

ending Aug. 31, up from $206.5 million<br />

a year earlier.<br />

Net income for the fiscal year ending<br />

Aug. 31 reached $1.26 billion, up<br />

31 percent from the previous year. It<br />

was the first time a U.S. agricultural<br />

co-op surpassed $1 billion in annual<br />

earnings, according to CHS.<br />

<strong>The</strong> co-op joined bigger rivals<br />

Cargill Inc. <strong>and</strong> Bunge Ltd., two of<br />

the world’s largest agricultural trading<br />

houses, in attributing solid<br />

results to networks of employees<br />

<strong>and</strong> facilities.<br />

Last month, Bunge said it doubled<br />

quarterly profits by mobilizing its<br />

global grain network to supply customers<br />

hit by the worst U.S drought in<br />

Corporations providing personal<br />

services might attract an audit. |<br />

FILE PHOTO<br />

recognized this threat to government<br />

revenue <strong>and</strong> acted to remove the SBD<br />

<strong>and</strong> the ability to claim most ordinary<br />

expenses from companies that the<br />

CRA determines are actually PSBs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lowering of the general business<br />

tax rates over the last several<br />

years <strong>and</strong> the introduction of new tax<br />

rules in 2006 that were more<br />

favourable to PSB corporations have<br />

essentially taken some of the sting<br />

out of measures designed to curb the<br />

proliferation of PSBs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CRA began putting significant<br />

audit pressure on small incorporated<br />

businesses to curb the incidence of<br />

companies providing personal services<br />

but claiming the SBD. It recently<br />

performed more than 200 audits<br />

<strong>and</strong> determined that almost half<br />

were actually PSBs. Information<br />

technology (IT) consulting <strong>and</strong> contracting<br />

businesses have been a particular<br />

target.<br />

Here is an example I recently<br />

encountered of how this could affect<br />

farm businesses.<br />

A husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> a spouse each have<br />

an active corporation that is subject<br />

to the SBD. <strong>The</strong> husb<strong>and</strong>’s corporation<br />

operates the farm while the<br />

wife’s corporation provides IT <strong>and</strong><br />

computer consulting services. She<br />

also works on the farm.<br />

In the past, work conducted by the<br />

CO-OP | FINANCIAL RESULTS<br />

Record profit for CHS Inc.<br />

more than 50 years. Cargill’s quarterly<br />

earnings more than quadrupled<br />

from a year earlier.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> strength of our diverse CHS<br />

business portfolio, along with a<br />

strong domestic <strong>and</strong> global footprint,<br />

combined in fiscal 2012 to allow us to<br />

successfully navigate continued<br />

market volatility,” said CHS president<br />

Carl Casale.<br />

CHS is owned by 350,000 farmers<br />

<strong>and</strong> ranchers, either directly or indirectly<br />

through 1,100 smaller co-ops.<br />

Owners of CHS stock, which is traded<br />

on Nasdaq, are non-voting shareholders.<br />

CHS bought Alberta farm retail<br />

supplier DynAgra Corp. in September<br />

<strong>and</strong> opened a small grain marketing<br />

office in Winnipeg last year<br />

Also in September, CHS Inc.<br />

announced plans to build a $1 billion<br />

nitrogen fertilizer plant in Spiritwood,<br />

N.D., to open in the last half of<br />

2016.<br />

<strong>The</strong> company supplies energy, crop<br />

nutrients, grain, livestock feed, food<br />

<strong>and</strong> food ingredients as well as insurance,<br />

financial <strong>and</strong> risk-management<br />

services.<br />

spouse on farm-related activities was<br />

paid as salary <strong>and</strong> an accompanying<br />

T4 slip was provided. This would<br />

then be taxed at the marginal tax rate<br />

applicable to the spouse, which<br />

invariably would be higher than the<br />

SBD tax rate.<br />

<strong>The</strong> question then is, would it not<br />

be more favourable tax wise for the<br />

spouse’s corporation to invoice the<br />

husb<strong>and</strong>’s corporation for work done<br />

<strong>and</strong> thus be taxed under SBD rates?<br />

<strong>The</strong> problem is that the work done<br />

for the husb<strong>and</strong>’s corporation would<br />

be considered as work provided by a<br />

PSB. Claiming it under SBD rates<br />

would almost certainly attract an<br />

audit <strong>and</strong> reassessment by the CRA.<br />

VITERRA SALE | CHINESE APPROVAL<br />

China OK not tied to Nexen: Ritz<br />

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Federal<br />

agriculture minister Gerry Ritz<br />

doesn’t think China’s review of<br />

Glencore’s takeover of Viterra under<br />

its anti-monopoly law is tied to<br />

Canada approving a Chinese takeover<br />

of a Canadian oil company.<br />

<strong>The</strong> review by China’s commerce<br />

ministry, which could take until<br />

Dec. 10, is the final regulatory hurdle<br />

for Glencore International PLC’s<br />

$6.1 billion takeover of Viterra Inc.<br />

China is also waiting to hear if<br />

Canada will approve state-owned<br />

CNOOC’s $15.1 billion takeover of<br />

Nexen. Dec. 10 is Canada’s deadline<br />

to rule on that transaction.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re treating these very differently,<br />

which of course they are,” Ritz<br />

said. “One is an investment into<br />

their country, predicated on what<br />

Glencore will do into the future. <strong>The</strong><br />

other is an investment into Canada.”<br />

MIKE WILSON<br />

AGRIUM<br />

If the Chinese approval comes in<br />

December, Agrium Inc. expects to<br />

close its $575 million purchase of<br />

Viterra farm retail stores in the first<br />

quarter of 2013, Agrium chief executive<br />

officer Mike Wilson said.<br />

Assuming the Glencore-Viterra<br />

deal closes as scheduled, Agrium<br />

will file for a review by Canada’s<br />

Competition Bureau in late December<br />

<strong>and</strong> hopes to close the deal late<br />

in the first quarter. Agrium would get<br />

232 Canadian farm retail outlets as<br />

well as 17 stores in Australia.<br />
