WHITEHORSE — Agriculture min-isters have signaled a dramatic shift in Canadian agriculture policy from an emphasis on improving farm income support to insistence that farmers prepare to live by market demands.

“We must make sure farmers in the entire sector have the tools and the resources they need to stay ahead of the ever-changing demands of con-sumers,” federal agriculture minis-ter Gerry Ritz said Sept. 14 as he announced a new agricultural poli-cy framework.

A five-year Growing Forward 2 agreement signed in the Yukon capi-tal will cut farm support programs by as much $2 billion over the course of the deal while increasing spending on non-farm support programs by $700 million to a total of $3 billion.

Harvest was in full swing on the Bellamy farm near Rosebud, Alta., when what some have dubbed a billion dollar wind suddenly whipped up and shattered their prospects for a good crop.

“My husband thought his com-bine was going to blow over. Seri-ously. You cannot imagine the strength of this wind,” said Elaine Bellamy.

Gusts of up to 100 km/h toppled four grain bins securely anchored

with ropes and hooks. But the real damage was in the

fields, where 3,000 acres of canola lay in tidy swaths that quickly became unkempt.

Bellamy heard one report from an astonished couple who were out for a drive in the vicinity.

“They literally saw the canola lift-ing 30 to 40 feet in the air and just swirling,” she said.

Tallying up the damage is a daunting task because it varies from field to field and even within a swath, but Bel lamy said she wouldn’t be surprised if a crop that

usually yields 50 to 70 bushels per acre averages 30 bu. an acre.

“Let’s just put it this way, the combine monitors dropped to half. We lost a lot,” she said.

Losing 30 bu. per acre on 3,000 acres of canola would result in losses of more than $1 million on one crop on one Alberta farm.

Larry Weber, analyst with Weber Commodities Ltd., estimates that 1.56 million tonnes of canola worth $1 billion have blown away on the Prairies. His estimate is based on damage reports from an unscientific poll of 47 farmers.

The losses are expected to be worst in Saskatchewan, where half of the province’s canola crop was sitting in swaths when the winds swept up. Most of the damage was caused in the north, where two-thirds of the canola crop was in swaths.

Venkata Vakulabharanam, provin-cial oilseed specialist with Saskatch-ewan Agriculture, thinks Weber’s estimate that one-quarter of what remained to be harvested has been lost because of pod shattering is the absolute worst case scenario.

However, there is no denying that the damage is extensive. He said a conservative estimate would be that the wind caused a 10 percent loss in the province’s average yield, drop-ping it down to 25 bu. an acre, which would shave 480,000 tonnes off of canola production in Saskatchewan.

Norm Hall, president of the Agri-cultural Producers Association of S a s k a t c h e w a n , d o e s n ’ t t h i n k Weber’s figure is far off the mark.

The damage was considerable on his farm near Wynyard, Sask. Much of the 1,200 acres of canola he had remaining in swaths was broadsided by t h e w e s t- n o r t hw e s t w i n d s because most of his swaths ran in a north and south direction.

“In places, they’re scattered. In oth-er places they’re rolled into ropes that extend across the next swath,” he said.

Some of his neighbour’s canola blew into his fields of identity pre-served Nexera canola, which will cre-ate yet another harvesting headache.

Based on experience, Hall is expect-ing at least a 50 percent reduction in yield on his remaining canola. He also lost wheat heads in the storm.

He said it’s frustrating because a high-value crop that looked so prom-ising not that long ago has been hit hard by disease and wind.

“It’s another kick in the ass,” said Hall.Wind damage was limited in Mani-

toba, where spring cereals were 95 percent complete and canola 70 to 100 percent finished when the winds started to howl.

John Paul Craigg, warning pre-paredness meteorologist with Envi-ronment Canada, said the initial wind blast, which came on the evening of Sept. 10, was caused by an intense low pressure system that brought with it a cold front and thunderstorms.

Many communities in east-central Alberta and west-central Saskatche-wan experienced wind gusts in e x c e s s o f 1 0 0 k m / h , w h i c h i s approaching the speed of a hurri-cane or a weak tornado.

The low pressure system was followed by sustained winds of 50 to 60 km/h and gusts of 70 to 80 km/h from the west-northwest that ravaged the prairie landscape over the next two days.

“It wasn’t in the wind warning cat-egory, but it lasted a long time,” said Craigg. “It was just a bad time for it to come since things were ready to be harvested.”

Eugene Eggerman, a farmer from Watson, Sask., had 6,000 acres of canola and wheat lying in swaths that were scattered by the wind.

“I’ve never in my life seen wheat

swaths blow. We’ve got wheat swaths that were north and south and it just blew that straw like snow.”

Some of his canola blew into a neighbour’s ditch on the other side of the grid road.

“It’s very stressful when you put a lot of time and money and work and dreamt about this crop and were days away,” he said.

“Like, the combines are in the fields. You’re that close and Mother Nature has got to mess it up. That’s stress.”

He figures he lost 10 percent of his crops and is now forced to run his com-bines over the entire field to pick up the stray crop, which will extend harvest.

“Our (combines) burn 20 gallons an hour of fuel. Well, you better get some grain or it’s going to cost you more than you get back,” he said.

Laura Reiter, who farms near Radisson, Sask., said the weather sta-tion on her farm measured gusts of up to 90 km/h. However, they fared pretty well because most of their swaths ran east and west.

She has heard other farmers talk about swaths that rolled up into bales the size of a pick-up trucks.

“Once in a while, you get a storm that blows through and ruffles things up but never one that blows for days,” said Reiter.

She feels for farmers who witnessed their profits blow away in the wind.

“When you’ve watched it grow all season and you’re just days from get-ting it in the combine, it’s pretty dis-heartening.”

Bellamy said her heart sank when she saw the weigh wagon results from their first canola field harvested after the storm.

“It was very depressing when I did the math,” she said.

“Let’s just put it this way, it takes a long time to fill a hopper now.”

The operation employs a big crew to help run the six combines they use at harvest.

“They can hardly stand it. They can’t stand to see all that canola lost because they knew what was there before,” said Bellamy.

The extent of the damage won’t be known until harvest wraps up.

“How much (canola) will I have? I don’t know. But I’ll be thankful for every bit that I do get, I can tell you that, with the price as it is.”

Grant McLean, cropping manage-ment specialist with Sask. Agriculture, said the suffering likely won’t end with harvest. The damage will trickle over to next spring, when herbicide tolerant volunteer canola appears in fields throughout the Prairies.

The remaining savings will be avail-able for governments to invest in other priorities.

Ritz and federal officials refused to speculate on how much saving will come from reducing business risk management programs, arguing that no estimate is possible because pro-grams are demand driven.

However, Saskatchewan agricul-ture minister Lyle Stewart said in an interview that provinces had been told the savings could be substantial.

“The closest numbers we have are total federal and provincial savings of about $445 million a year over the next five and we think about $268 of that will be federal,” he said.

And while some of the money will be reinvested in non-BRM programs, as much as 60 percent will be avail-able for other priorities including deficit reduction, he said.

While some farm organization leaders said their members are dis-appointed by reductions in BRM funding, they applaud an increased emphasis on non-BRM files such as innovation, research, competitive-ness and market access.

Even though funding is reduced, the basic farm support programs for income declines, crop failure and disasters will remain.

“I think most farmers will be split on these changes,” Grain Growers of Canada president Stephen Vander-valk said in a news release.

Among the key changes to be intro-duced April 1 are:• The payment claim trigger for

AgriStability will drop from 85 per-cent of historic income to 70 per-cent with a reduction in the farmer participation fee.

• Coverage under AgriStability will be increased to 70 percent of loss with improved negative margin coverage.

• AgriStability reference margins will be reduced to accept either the lower of the farm historic reference margin or allowable expenses from the previous year.

• Government contributions to farmer AgriInvest accounts will fall by one-third to $15,000 per year from $22,500, although the cap on farmer contributions will be increased to 100 percent of allow-able net sales. Ritz said this will make more money available to farmers to fill the gap in lower AgriStability program payments above the 70 percent level.

• Funds allocated to non-BRM pro-grams will increase to $3 billion over the five years with a 50 percent increase in federal-provincial cost-shared programs.

• While government-supported crop insurance remains, minis-ters said they are encouraging private sector insurers to come up with products that can fill some of the gaps of reduced government coverage.

With the framework agreement signed, ministers have pledged to work with some producer groups to design the programs needed to implement the principles starting in April.

Quebec did not sign the agreement because a minister for the new Parti Québecois government had not been named when the conference was held.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE SKIES

BY KAREN BRIEREREGINA BUREAU

The U.S. drought may be taking the blame for Big Sky Farms entering receivership last week but court docu-ments show that Canada’s second largest pork company was in trouble long before feed prices shot up.

Ernst and Young has been named the receiver for the Humboldt, Sask., company that produces about one million hogs per year at facilities in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and with contract grow-ers in Iowa.

An affidavit filed by Neil Stride of the Bank of Nova Scotia, the agent for the company’s lenders, says Big Sky owes them nearly $69 million. It also owes $8.4 million to suppliers.

The secured lenders include Bank of Montreal, National Bank of Canada and Farm Credit Canada.

In Manitoba last week, Puratone Corp., a major pork producer based in Niverville, entered protection under the Companies Creditors Arrangements Act. It is expected to be back in court Oct. 10.

Puratone owes nearly $41 million to the Bank of Montreal and $40 million to Farm Credit Canada, among others.

The secured lenders in the Big Sky situation were also involved in help-ing Big Sky climb out of creditor pro-tection in 2009 after H1N1 fears and the strengthening Canadian dollar caused serious financial difficulty.

Big Sky emerged from CCAA pro-tection in March 2010.

But by April 2011, the company was again in trouble and had

defaulted on several terms of its credit arrangements, including failing to pay the full principal amounts of two loans.

Further defaults occurred in Jan-uary, March and April 2012.

As a result the lenders demanded payment and gave notice of inten-tion to ensure security under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

In May, Big Sky entered into exclusive discussions with a pro-spective buyer and on June 28 an agreement between Big Sky and the lenders set out a 15 week sales pro-cess that would have seen the com-pany sold and the lenders paid in full by Oct. 15.

By the end of August, however,

those discussions ended without a sale.

The lenders were not willing to advance more money, except to a receiver.

But Stride’s affidavit also noted that additional factors were at play.

“Particular urgency has addition-ally been created by a sudden and severe downturn in the North American hog industry this sum-mer,” said the affidavit.

Kevin Brennan, senior vice-presi-dent at Ernst and Young in Vancou-ver, said the “recent phenomenon” of high feed costs due to the drought in corn-growing areas of the U.S. and an increase in the number of hogs going to slaughter drove the ultimate move into receivership.

“A number of producers are early shipping to slaughter at lighter weights,” he explained. “This is causing a glut.”

Ironically, this could also pull the hog industry out of its poor state.

Brennan said many in the indus-try expect that because packers are pulling so many hogs forward now they may actually short themselves in the future and create demand and higher prices.

On the feed side, prices are expected to remain high through the next year.

The affidavit noted that in the last three months Ontario corn and soybeans rose from $13.50 per bushel to $17, wheat climbed from $6.50 to $8 and feed barley went from $4.50 to $5.50.

Neil Ketilson, general manager of SaskPork, said although Big Sky doesn’t feed much corn, the prices of all feed commodities are linked.

The increase resulted in a loss of between $30 and $50 per pig, he said.

“$30 in our business is just too much,” he said.

Brennan said a buyer might see Big Sky’s potential as part of a verti-cally integrated operation. The matter is expected to be back in court in early October.

Ketilson added the assets will sell at below their actual value, which creates a huge opportunity for someone, as long as new owners can tough out the short term.

He said Big Sky is part of the 60 percent of the province’s hog busi-ness that doesn’t have a land base and has to buy feed.

“The 40 percent that do have a land base won’t run into insolvency problems,” he said.

SaskPork has talked to the prov-ince about the possibility of a short-term hog loan program. Ketilson said producers don’t want more debt but they do want to stay in operation and animal welfare issues must be addressed.

Manitoba Pork Council and Key-stone Agricultural Producers have called for $130 million in government loan guarantees to help hog produc-ers get through the current crisis.

When it comes to Puratone, KAP president Doug Chorney said he knew of one farmer who was owed $36,000 for feed he delivered to Puratone before it entered credit protection.

In an affidavit filed in court, chief executive officer Raymond Hilde-brand said Puratone’s problems have been building.

“The immediate problem is a liquidity crisis prompted by escalat-ing feed costs due in part to the drought in the United States. How-ever, this is but the latest of the series of misfortunes which have befallen the hog industry in this country over the past five years and undermined the working capital of a well-man-aged, nationally renowned and pre-viously profitable business.”

The County of Warner in southern Alberta is tallying damage from a Sept. 10-11 wildfire that burned an estimated 21,000 acres of cropland and native grasslands.

Pushed by high winds and feeding on the tinder-dry fuel supplied by stubble and grass, the fire forced the evacuation of Milk River, population about 800, and destroyed outbuild-ings, corrals and hay supplies for at least a dozen area farmers and ranchers.

The fire occurred on the same day a fire forced evacuation of Coalhurst, in the County of Lethbridge.

County of Warner administrator Shawn Hathaway is a member of the

Milk River volunteer fire department and he experienced the fire on the front line. So did fire crews from nearby Coutts, Warner, Cardston, Magrath, East Glacier and Sunburst, as well as farmers, ranchers and Hutterite colony personnel, many of who put in a 30 hour shift battling the blaze.

“It was kind of chaos,” said Hatha-way a few days after the fire. “It was scary for awhile.”

The f ire burned w ithin a few kilometres of Milk River and ate its way through part of the Twin Rivers Heritage Rangeland, an area of native prairie partially used for grazing.

The fire is thought to have started

on Don Althen’s property in the southwestern part of the county. An equipment fire in the field Sept. 8 was thought to be out, but high winds Sept. 10 may have fed an errant spark that ignited the larger blaze.

“We were right there with the (water) truck but we couldn’t contain

it,” said Althen.He lost a lot of fence, grassland and

about 300 acres of barley crop on the property.

Many others fared worse, he added, noting the tremendous response from area fire departments, Hutterite colonies and area residents who brought water trucks, farm equip-ment and manpower to the fight.

“We get support in this community out here,” he said.

Soil was already starting to drift three days after the fire, which may be a concern in coming months.

Hathaway said it will be two or three weeks before damage can be fully assessed.

In the meantime, Bob Balog of Balog Auctions in Lethbridge has spearheaded a plan to collect dona-tions for farmers and ranchers who lost crop, outbuildings, fences and hay supplies that they were counting on to feed livestock this winter.

Balog is working with the County of Warner to collect and store dona-tions of fence posts, hay or other goods people may want to donate.

“We’re asking people for any gener-osity that they may feel that they can afford to do,” said Balog Sept. 13.

“If they’d like to donate a little bit of cash, a few hay bales, a few fence posts, those are the things that are going to be most desired.”

STORIES BY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The wind was gusting to 110 km/h Sept. 10 in southern Alberta when Kevin Serfas got a phone call from one of his custom combining crews.

The crew chief had shut down operations at 12:30 that day over fears the machines might start a fire that couldn’t be stopped.

Serfas, who farms 40,000 acres on land between Lomond and Standoff, agreed with the plan.

A few minutes later, he got another call. A grass fire was indeed burning, started by a downed power line on the Blood Indian reserve. And it was headed toward his fields, other farm-land and residences on the reserve and in the County of Lethbridge.

By the time the wildfire was con-trolled more than 24 hours later, it had burned an estimated 12,530 acres of land, threatened the town of Coalhurst and forced evacuation of about 2,000 residents in that town and more in subdivisions near Lethbridge.

No lives or homes were lost but there was damage to various out-buildings and extensive loss of fences.

Numerous power poles were burned and toppled, cutting power to about 175 homes and businesses.

Serfas lost about 250 acres of barley and 300 acres of stubble. He believes his was the only crop lost because harvest is nearing its end in the region.

However, vast stretches of stubble and prairie grass now lie blackened on fairly light soil, increasing the threat of erosion.

County of Lethbridge manager Dennis Shigematsu said damage assessments are underway but con-sidering the size of the blaze and its speed of an estimated 140 metres per minute, it could have been worse.

“If it had crossed the highway (Highway 3), Coalhurst could have

easily been taken out,” he said. “It was very horrifying. Scary. But my staff and all the other agencies, the volun-teer fire departments, just did a super job.”

The fire burned outbuildings at the federal government’s Animal Dis-ease Research Institute, which was directly in the fire’s path but protect-ed by an irrigation system and fire fighting efforts.

“In terms of damages to fences and outbuildings, we haven’t got an esti-mate on that yet, but there were no animals hurt, there were no people hurt and we were back in business yesterday morning (Sept. 12),” said

ADRI director Pamela Gale.“It smells like a campfire down

here and it’s likely to smell like that way for awhile. We’re probably look-ing at a dusty winter when every-thing starts blowing over from the west side.”

Fire crews from the Blood Reserve, City of Lethbridge, Picture Butte, Coalhurst, Coaldale and other towns responded to fight the fire, as did farmers and other area residents.

Water bombers were called in Mon-day afternoon and evening to drop water and fire retardant on the aggres-sive blaze that had already leaped two highways and the Oldman River.

Serfas and other farmers spent hours guiding farm and road equip-ment through thick smoke as they built fire breaks to stop the spread.

“It was pretty wild,” said Serfas. “There was so many tractors and

graders trying to throw down fire guards and the smoke was so thick that nobody could see anybody.

“It was mass chaos, but it was a very concerted effort by a lot of people. The Blood tribe fire depart-ment and the Blood tribe police and the volunteers, they did a fan-tastic job out there. It was a freak of nature accident. The wind blew down a power pole. It could have

happened anywhere.”Fire bans are in place in the city and

county, as well as in several sur-rounding municipalities and south-ern provincial parks.

A few days after the fire, Serfas said the end of harvest, which began for him on July 30, couldn’t come soon enough. He was still smarting from his decision to give harvest crews the day off Sept. 9.

“I said, ‘shut it down. It will still be here on Monday.’ Sure enough, on Monday afternoon it burned up the stuff that I told everybody to leave on Sunday. It was a little disheartening in that sense.”

The British Columbia apple harvest is in full swing and could yield 10 percent more than last year.

However, Ontario growers are fac-ing crop failure.

A record warm March, in which temperatures reached 28 C and were then followed by an 18 day cold snap, had a catastrophic effect on the Ontario apple crop.

Trees came out of dormancy and buds were damaged, resulting in the failure of more than 85 percent of the crop, said Brian Gilroy, president of the Ontario Apple Growers Associa-tion. Similar weather related prob-lems happened in Michigan and New York state.

“On my farm, there are millions of apple blossoms. This year, I never saw a normal blossom. Everything was affected,” Gilroy said. “In some places the cold was so severe that it damaged next year’s buds as well.”

Gilroy grows McIntosh and North-ern Spy varieties on his farm near Meaford in the Georgian Bay area.

McIntosh is the major Ontario crop, and he estimates 85 percent of the variety was lost.

“We have lost a staggering 98 per-cent of our Empire crop, which is the second largest variety,” he said.

“Apple picking in a lot of locations is a cross between an Easter egg hunt and apple picking.”

Losses could reach $400 million in devalued fruit and lost jobs.

Misshapen and frost scarred fruit will be downgraded to processing for juice. Most years, about 800 people come to pick fruit.

This year, about 100 are needed and there will be work slow downs at the packinghouses.

About 65 percent of growers carry production insurance and an Agri-Recovery assessment has been done, but producers have not heard if sup-

port is coming.“Most apple farmers won’t feel the

financial crunch until next year because it is a stored crop and farm-ers wouldn’t be getting paid for this year’s crop until next year,” he said.

“I’ve got 10 trees in a block of 500 Spies with lots of apples on them, and the other 490 have next to nothing on them. Try and explain that,” he said.

T h e l a s t t i m e s u c h d a m a g e occurred was 1945.

“This is hopefully a year that we will never see again,” he said.

Gilroy estimates that retail apple prices might increase 25 percent and that imports from Quebec, B.C. and the United States will make up some of the shortfall.

On the other side of the country, the harvest is rolling in with better than average production, said Glenn Lucas, manager of the British Colum-bia Fruit Growers Association in Kelowna.

Too much spring rain caused early season cherries to split, but mid sea-son varieties such as Lapins were prolific.

B.C. has shifted to new, more profit-able apple varieties.

Nearly 40 percent of the crop was Royal Gala in 2011 compared to 13 percent for McIntoshes. Ambrosias and Spartans each make up 13 per-cent of the harvest.

“Red Delicious, which used to be our primary variety, is now down to eight percent,” he said.

Apple picking started in earnest during the first week of September with Galas and McIntosh coming off first. Fujis will be picked in October and the Pink Lady harvest may last until November.

Peaches and nectarines were picked in August and are continuing into September. The plum harvest just started.

B.C. grew nearly 82 million pounds of Galas last year, followed by 34 mil-lion pounds of Ambrosias.

The open market is drawing lots of crop into the United States, but it isn’t hard red spring wheat.

“We have been just inundated with calls (from the United States) wanting hay, and we have been sell-ing it,” said broker Allan Johnston of Welwyn, Sask.

“I’m buying currently for four com-

panies and we’re talking to more.”The drought in the U.S. Midwest

has not only devastated corn and soybean crops, which are used for feeding hogs and cattle, but also destroyed the production of pastures and hay fields.

Feedgrains for hogs can be bought and transported quite easily, but hay for cattle producers is another story. Hay is not well traded except locally, and marketing networks are primi-

tive and mostly non-existent.However, the need for hay in the

Midwest has come at a fortunate time because of the elimination of the CWB monopoly, some say.

With the market now open for cross-border trade, brokers and marketing companies like Johnston’s have already established connections with buyers who now need to find hay.

“It’s a wonderful time for the border to be open,” said Johnston.

“Because we’re now connected to the U.S. companies because of the grain, they’re just picking up the hay.”

Johnston said his company has sold 20,000 tonnes of hay to U.S. buyers, or 1,000 to 1,200 truckloads.

One of the buyers is hauling hay from Saskatchewan to Montana, organizing deliveries from there and then hauling hay to Texas, Oklaho-ma, Wisconsin, Colorado and other drought-ravaged regions.

Johnston said he has orders for lots more hay, but Saskatchewan farmers are backing away.

“I’m having a little trouble getting farmers to sell. They’re getting into this bullish mode and think they’ll sell for more later,” said Johnston.

Winter wheat is also heading to U.S. buyers, Johnston said, as is as other feed wheat and barley. However, lit-tle hard red spring wheat is moving south.

The rally that has lifted all crop prices this year gives many farmers a chance to cut their canola acreage next year and get back into better rotations, a number of observers say.

Canola production problems this summer have spooked thousands of farmers, and many would prefer to grow grain and other crops rather than once more squeeze their rota-tion to seed more canola.

“I think production experiences from this past year will start to affect acres, and focus farmers on the need to bring rotations back to real-ity,” said Charlie Pearson, markets expert with Alberta Agriculture.

Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications agreed.

“I really think the agronomic prob-lems people had this year make some people reconsider their canola acres next year,” said Anderson.

Canola yields are disappointing farmers who have been getting comfortable with steadily increas-ing year-on-year gains.

Lots of farmers who were harvest-ing 40 bushels per acre are getting 30 bu. this year, many experts say.

Exactly why canola has underper-formed in the f ield is hard to explain, other than that many fac-tors came together.

“Seventy-five to 80 percent did not get the rains when they needed it,” said broker Allan Johnston of Welwyn, Sask., about why many crops looked big and lush but yielded poorly.

Pearson said a string of challenges hurt the crop.

“It was too wet. Then it was too hot. Then there was sclerotinia and aster yellows,” said Pearson.

“Now to add insult to injury, we get these windstorms.”

At the same time, canola prices have failed to keep up to soybean prices, while wheat and feedgrains have done better.

That levels the playing field and gives farmers an incentive to put more acres into wheat next spring.

Wheat and feedgrain market prospects look better to many ana-lysts, an impression that was not hurt by the September U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture reports, which were generally seen as price neutral but confirmed extremely tight stocks for soybeans and corn and tightening stocks for wheat.

Wheat is easy to grow and market, and farmers are worried that they have pushed their canola rotations too far. As a result, it could be an easy choice next spring to reduce canola and increase wheat and barley.

“The wheat story is a slow, evolv-ing positive story over time,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Market-

ing Solutions.Wheat is unlikely to soar as high in

the short or medium term as corn and soybeans have done because the world still has ample stocks of wheat.

However, if it keeps close to the gains in oilseeds the crop could steal acres back from canola.

Canola’s cycle of high prices and ever-increasing yields meant many farmers cut canola rotations from once every four or three years to once every two years. Shorter rota-tions encourage disease develop-ment. Many agrologists say farmers should never reduce rotations to less than once every three years, but the lure of big money from growing canola has been too enticing to resist.

However, if good money can be made off wheat as well, next year could offer farmers the best chance to clean up their rotations without sacrificing profitability.

“There’s a lot of interest in grow-ing wheat again,” said John Duven-aud of Wild Oats.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The United States corn and soybean har-vest advanced at a record pace last week, pressuring grain futures prices down Sept. 17.

Soybeans fell 70 cents per bushel, the daily limit, on the speed of the harvest and reports of better than expected yields. Corn also fell sharply, dipping down by more than four percent.

Soybeans had risen the previous week on a U.S. Department of Agri-culture report that shaved the pro-duction estimate and on general market optimism following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to launch another round of bond buying designed to stimulate the economy.

The corn harvest was 26 percent com-plete as of Sept. 16, the USDA’s weekly crop progress report showed, com-pared with expectations for 24 percent based on a Reuters poll of 11 analysts, and up from 15 percent a week ago.

Farmers harvested 10 percent of the soybean crop, compared with expectations for nine percent, and up from four percent the previous week.

The fast pace of the harvest could put more pressure on prices in the cash market as farmers sell more of their grain, especially corn, due to concerns over diseases such as afla-toxin that could hurt quality.

“These are extremely rapid harvest paces,” said Karl Setzer, a commodity trading adviser with MaxYield Co-operative in Iowa.

“In all reality, the harvest could be over by the end of September or first week of October,” he said, adding that the harvest was running about 30 days ahead of normal.

Some of the better yields were com-ing from the western Midwest, an area that had remained dry because of the worst drought in half a century, which has devastated crops. The northern and eastern parts of the Midwest got beneficial rain in August.

“There have been reports of yields being better than expected during the harvest over the weekend, and farm-ers were also selling more corn than expected because they don’t want to store grain that is affected by diseas-es,” said Charlie Sernatinger, vice-president of sales at ABN AMRO bank.

Trace amounts of aflatoxin, a natu-rally occurring toxin, have shown up in corn harvested in the United States.

Jeff Hainline, president of Advance Trading, said he was getting anec-dotal accounts of better-than-expected yields from grain elevators and farmers in the Midwest.

“It’s nothing scientific, but these are people we trust,” he said, adding that there were accounts of soybean yields being better than expected in the western corn belt.

The fields harvested so far show a big variance in corn yields. Analysts said yields averaged from just five to 10 bu. per acre in some fields to 160 to 175 bu. in others.

U.S. CORN CROP SMALLEST IN YEARSThe U.S. Department of Agriculture Sept. 12 estimated this year’s corn harvest at 10.727 billion bushels, down slightly from last month, but above analysts’ average estimate of 10.38 billion. It would be the smallest crop in six years, with the lowest yield in 17 years at 122.8 bu. per acre. Corn ending stocks were above trade estimates for 592 million bu. USDA’s harvested corn acreage number of 87.36 million was above trade expectations for 86.2 million acres. The soybean harvest was pegged at 2.634 billion bu., down from last month and below analysts’ average estimate of 2.657 billion.

Reports differ on Myanmar pulse crops — hit by drought or above average?

The oat market needs to put up or shut up.

It must put up prices that reflect the bullish reality of oat stocks, or be willing to shut up when supplies are perilously low, something hap-pens and prices go through the roof.

Because one way or another, farm-ers need to be convinced to grow oats again, and today’s prices aren’t going to do it.

“Fertilizer decisions are being made this month. Oats are not going to be in the rotation if buyers contin-ue playing games,” farmer Dwayne Leslie from Portage la Prairie, Man., tweeted to me last week in response to a tweet and blog post I had just published, in which I noted the rela-tively rotten price for oats.

That is going to be the bottom line for hundreds or thousands of prairie farmers for the 2013-14 crop: show me the money for oats, or I’ll plant something else.

What I think is different these days, and it’s something that I believe much of the oat market has not yet worked out, is that farmers are get-ting far more professional in their farm management and they aren’t just waiting until spring to decide what to grow.

Many farmers now want to book seed and prepare their soil before freeze-up for the crops they plan to seed next spring, and they won’t be

willing to reverse those decisions next March.

There’s a well-understood phe-nomenon each spring in which anx-ious processors and marketers begin buying new crop supplies and taking new crop long futures positions in crops they fear might end up with too few acres. This raises prices, and cre-ates an incentive for a farmer to take a fresh look at that crop compared to alternatives that haven’t increased in relative price.

This is known as the “battle for acres” and “buying in” acres.

That will always exist, but with so many seeding decisions now made in the fall, that battle needs to happen now.

Many farmers in Manitoba and warmer regions of the Prairies have already seeded thousands of acres to winter wheat. That’s because winter wheat yields well and hard red spring wheat protein premiums are small. High prices have allowed the winter wheat market to buy those acres.

That’s acreage that could have been seeded to oats next spring, and it’s too late to change those farmers’ plans.

“Definitely, guys are thinking well ahead,” Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions said.

He describes oats as “one of the frustrating stories” of the past couple of years, in which low stocks don’t

seem to affect the price.Ag Commodity Research oat ana-

lyst Randy Strychar has been bullish for months about oats because of the tight stocks, and marvels at the ability of the thinly traded oat market to avoid dealing with that fundamental reality.

He expects a rally in the winter, as do most analysts. But that might be too late. Errol Anderson of Pro Mar-ket Communications thinks it’s get-ting harder to move farmers off of acreage decisions than it used to be.

“These are big decisions, they aren’t lightly made, and a lot are being made right now,” said Anderson.

Driedger said the disappointing prices for oats compared to amply

supplied crops like spring wheat aren’t why his company’s advisers are telling farmers to avoid the crop. They think even without the price signal, farmers will get their gains from the tight stocks situation.

“Either this market doesn’t pop and it gets very tight, or these guys will step in in March and pop that price up there, which would be a chance for pricing,” said Driedger.

But for many farmers who want to make their acreage decisions now, book seed, prepare fields and avoid last minute springtime switching, the prices need to be there soon or they won’t seed oats.

Canada’s toughest pulse crop com-petitor in the Indian market may have production problems.

A story that ran in the Myanmar Times says pulse crops in northern Myanmar are suffering from drought. Myanmar, a neighbour of India, is a major pulse exporter.

“The total production of pigeon pea will be reduced by more than 20 percent,” said U Sai Ba Nyan, vice-chair of the Myanmar Pulses, Beans and Sesame Seeds Merchants Asso-ciation.

“We expect beans and pulses prices will be high in the coming export sea-son because India, the major buyer of our beans and pulses, has also suf-fered from abnormal weather.”

Other reports cast doubt on the Myanmar Times story.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture

is forecasting 4.7 million tonnes of pulse production in Myanmar, which would be slightly above average.

Raghavan Sampathkumar, an international market promotion consultant for Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, who lives in India, said there hasn’t been much talk of pro-duction problems in Myanmar.

“I talk to the importers regularly and haven’t heard anything about the shortfall. Probably the supplies might not have got affected, so nobody here is bothered about it,” he said in an e-mail.

It has not affected Myanmar’s export program. The country, locat-ed across the Bay of Bengal from India, shipped 1.12 million tonnes of pulses through the f irst seven months of 2012. That’s already approaching last year’s 12 month total of 1.36 million tonnes.

India takes about two-thirds of Myanmar’s pulse exports, including

almost all of its 250,000 to 300,000 tonnes of annual pigeon pea produc-tion. That product competes directly with Canadian lentils.

Pulse markets heated up earlier this year when it looked like India’s kharif or summer crop was going to be smaller because of reduced plant-ings and poor monsoon rain.

Pigeon peas are a big kharif crop. Canadian green lentils have proven to be a good substitute for pigeon peas when that crop is short.

However, the latest crop report shows India’s farmers planted 24.4 million acres of pulses, which is six percent below normal. Monsoon rains have picked up, and pulse pric-es in India are falling.

Sampathkumar said even if India’s and Myanmar’s pigeon pea crops were short, it wouldn’t necessarily result in improved demand for Cana-dian green lentils.

“There is plenty of (pigeon pea)

stocks available from African coun-tries,” he said.

“Also, the Indian rupee continues to slide against (the U.S. dollar), which is one of the major concerns for the importers.”

Sampathkumar said importers would prefer to buy pigeon peas from Tanzania and Malawi rather than Canadian green lentils if the landed costs of the competing products are comparable.

There’s a well-understood phenomenon each spring in which anxious processors and marketers begin buying new crop supplies and taking new crop long futures positions in crops they fear might end up with too few acres. This raises prices, and creates an incentive for a farmer to take a fresh look at that crop compared to alternatives that haven’t increased in relative price.

Canadian canola growers should keep a close eye on what happens with Proposition 37 when California voters head to the polls on Nov. 6, says an opponent of the proposal.

The proposition calls for mandato-ry labelling of raw or processed food made from genetically modified crops or animals.

California would be the first state to adopt a GM labelling law, establish-ing a powerful precedent right across North America.

“If it passes, lots of things change because California is such a big market that the ripples from that will be felt right here in this building,” Doug Jones, executive director of Growers for Bio-technology, told about 100 people gathered at the National Research Centre in Saskatoon for the kickoff to Biotech Week in Saskatchewan.

He anticipates close to $100 million will be spent courting public opinion by both sides of the debate between now and the Nov. 6 U.S. presidential election.

The “yes” campaign has generated over $3 million in donations from groups like Organic Consumers Fund and Nature’s Path Foods.

The “no” campaign has raised over $25 million, with big donations com-ing from seed technology and food companies such as Monsanto and PepsiCo.

Jones said there is another impor-tant force behind the “yes” cam-paign.

“The California initiative really is being driven by some lawyers who will make a business out of suing com-panies for non-compliance,” he said.

“It becomes a lawyer’s dream and it’s being promoted by the lawyers.”

Oregon had a similar ballot initia-tive in 2002 that failed by a wide mar-gin but Jones warned that California is a different state with a strong anti-GM element.

“How did they collect a half a mil-lion signatures to put it on the ballot? Somebody was concerned enough at

least to sign a petition,” he noted.If the ballot passes food companies

will have two choices — label their products or start sourcing non-GM ingredients.

Jones said the law will affect a vast array of products sitting on grocery store shelves — almost anything con-taining corn, soybean or canola meal or oil.

If food manufacturers decide to source non-GM ingredients for the California market it’s going to influ-ence what crop growers plant right across North America.

That’s a diff icult proposition because over 90 percent of all the corn, soybeans and canola grown in that region is planted with GM seed.

“(Food companies) are going to go out and contract with farmers to grow something different. But the yield, the quality and everything else may be lower,” he said.

Jones said the first thing that will happen if Proposition 37 passes is it will be challenged in court.

Those opposed to the ballot will argue that food labelling is a federal jurisdiction and that the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration see no need for labels because they have deemed GM crops to be safe.

Saskatchewan’s crops have been hit by a variety of quality issues, with one notable exception.

“We’ve seen chickpeas that are just mint,” said Daryl Beswitherick, pro-gram manager for quality assurance with the Canadian Grain Commis-sion.

“It’s just a great year for chickpeas, I guess. Just beautiful.”

Colin Young, manager of Acrocorp Processing in Moose Jaw, said that’s what he has seen as well.

“A good percentage of the crop has been harvested and is exceptional quality, No. 2 or better without need of (sorting),” he said.

But he noted that chickpeas have a long growing season and the 30 per-cent of the crop remaining to be har-vested could have frost damage.

Temperatures dipped to -2 C in Moose Jaw for a couple of hours on Sept. 17.

“When I got up this morning the rooftops were white. It’s very difficult to tell if it has been a killing frost or not,” said Young.

Agriculture Canada is forecasting 120,000 tonnes of chickpea produc-tion and about 148,000 tonnes of exportable supply. Young said the vast majority of that would be Fron-tier type kabuli chickpeas.

Typical bids are in the high 30s (cents per pound) for nine millime-tre, mid-to-low 30s for eight mm and mid-to-low 20s for seven mm.

That’s quite a step down from last

year’s buoyant prices, which topped 50 cents per lb.

But with this year’s phenomenal qual-ity, growers should still be able to make out quite well when selling the 2012 crop. Young expects trade to be brisk.

“Producers are more enthusiastic to participate in a market where they’re getting top price,” he said.

He doesn’t anticipate any problem moving the crop.

“The better grades are easier to sell

and have more marketing options,” said Young.

But he is concerned about another pulse crop.

“For the first time in my 15-year career, I’m struggling with the con-

cept that lentils are one of the poorest returning commodities on the farm,” said Young.

“Farmers have responded to the low prices by storing the lentils at this stage.”

FED CATTLE DOWN

Fed steers on average fell to $108.92 per hundredweight, down 66 cents, while fed heifers were down 25 cents to $108.48.

Feedlots have carried additional inventory for the past couple of weeks and are under increased pres-sure to manage weights.

With local packers comfortably bought and lackluster cash interest out of the United States, feedlots traded a moderate volume of cattle.

Flat bids with no weight discounts were instrumental in motivating sell-ers to move heavy fed cattle.

Alberta rail grade steers were $182.50-$182.85 per cwt. and heifers were $182.50 per cwt.

Live cattle futures broke through overhead resistance and the Alberta fed cash to futures basis widened to $15.72.

Western Canadian fed catt le slaughter for the short week ending Sept. 8 was down 15 percent from the previous week at 31,536 head and year to date was one percent lower at 1,260,590 head.

Buyers were able to hold bids and still flush out a moderate volume of fed cattle.

Packers continue to have a comfort-able supply and feedlots are strug-gling to remain current in their mar-keting.

If strong support from the Chicago cattle futures does not continue prices could fall dangerously close to the July summer low.

COWS STEADY

D1, D2 cows prices were steady through the period, ranging from $70-$81 to average $76.13.

D3 cows ranged from $62-$75 to average $69.88.

Rail grade cows were $147-$152 generally down $2.

The strengthening Canadian dollar has slowed U.S. packer inquiries, while weaker fed prices over the past couple of weeks have pressured non-fed bids.

Butcher cows traded 75 cents-$ 2.50 per cwt. lower than the previous

week with packers discounting heavier conditioned cows coming off of grass.

This is the first week since April 13 that butcher bull prices have slipped below $90 per cwt.

Non-fed prices normally weaken in the fall.

FEEDERS RISE

The Canfax average steer price was $1.08 higher while heifers strength-ened 17 cents.

Steers and heifers, 800 pounds and heavier traded 50 cents-$1 per cwt. lower while demand for calves improved significantly.

With a few more fresh weaned calves trading on the cash market, competition from backgrounding lots has supported prices.

A large offering of forward delivery calf sales was reported with more than 10,000 head trading over the past week: 500-600 lb. feeders for October delivery were reported from $159-$175 per cwt. for steers and $144-$162 per cwt., for heifers.

HOGS FALL

Supplies continued to outpace demand through the period and hog prices fell from the previous week. The week’s U.S. slaughter was the largest in 4 1/2 years.

Iowa-southern Minnesota cash hogs delivered to plants were $48 to $48.50 per hundredweight Sept. 14, down from $50 to $50.50 the previous week.

The U.S. cut-out value was $77.95 Sept. 14, down from $78.03 Sept. 7.

U.S. federal slaughter to Sept. 15 was estimated at 2.43 million, up from 2.062 the previous week.

BISON STEADY

The Canadian Bison Association said grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were $3.65-$3.90 per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A

heifers were $3.65-$3.90.Animals older than 30 months and

those outside the desirable weight range may be discounted.

Slaughter cows and bulls averaged $1.60-$2.50 hot hanging weight.

In the live market, heifers born in 2011 were $2-$2.30 and bulls were $2.20-$2.40.

Feeder bulls and heifers born in 2010 were $1.90-$2.

BRUSSELS/NICOSIA (Reuters) — T h e E u r o p e a n C o m m i s s i o n announced a major shift in biofuel policy on Sept. 17, saying it plans to limit crop-based biofuels to five per-cent of transport fuel, after cam-paigners said existing rules take food out of people’s mouths.

Record high global grain prices have intensified calls for changes in Euro-pean Union and U.S. biofuel policies, criticized for snatching away land that should be used for food.

Europe’s biofuel industry is mostly based on processing rapeseed and other oilseeds into biodiesel.

EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard and energy commissioner Guenther Oettinger confirmed in a joint statement they wanted to cap the use of crop-based fuel.

“It is wrong to believe that we are pushing food-based biofuels,” the

commissioners said.“In our upcoming proposal for new

legislation, we do exactly the con-trary: we limit them to the current consumption level, that is five per-cent up to 2020.”

Reuters reported the European Commission would seek to impose a limit on the use of crop-based biofu-els of five percent as part of a target to raise the share of renewable fuel in the transport mix to 10 percent by 2020.

The draft proposals, expected to be published in October, will need the approval of EU governments and lawmakers to become law.

“The commission’s message for post-2020 is that our clear preference is bio-fuels produced from non-food feed-stocks, like waste or agricultural resi-dues such as straw,” the statement from the commissioners said.

A national recall on ground beef has been issued because of possible E. coli contamination.

Produced by XL Foods in Edmon-ton, various ground beef products were distributed to Safeway, Wal-Mart and Costco. The voluntary recall went out Sept. 16 and the Cana-dian Food Inspection Agency has issued an alert to consumers not to eat, sell or serve the products because they could be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

Consumption of E. coli-contami-nated food can cause severe abdomi-nal pain, bloody diarrhea or kidney

failure. In the most severe cases, people may die.

The meat may not look or smell bad. No illnesses have been reported.

The CFIA does not know which specific stores might have received the product packed between Aug. 12 and Sept. 13, said Garfield Balsom, acting national manager of the office of recall and food safety.

“Our advice is to return to the point of sale and enquire whether that product is part of the recall,” he said .

The complete list of products can be found at www.inspection.gc.ca/english/corpaffr/recarapp/2012/20120916e.shtml.

Under any other government, the buildup to the Growing Forward 2 agriculture ministers’ meeting

in Whitehorse would have proved un-promising.

For starters, farm groups across Canada complained that agriculture minister Gerry Ritz did not consult with them before redesigning the business risk management programs such as Agri-Stability and AgriInvest.

Then, before catching his plane, Sask-atchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stew-art issued a news release outlining his concerns.

“Quite frankly, our position differs from other provinces on potential changes to BRM programs,” Stewart said.

However, Saskatchewan had to sign the new agreement to access federal funding for other initiatives including research, water infrastructure, market develop-ment and farm business development, he noted.

It turned out that the other provinces had agreed to changes to AgriInvest but did not bother to call Saskatchewan for its point of view — a bad start to a new “agreement.”

Furthermore, the timing of this meeting was imperfect. All four western ag minis-ters were, to varying degrees, newcomers. Stewart, although a competent minister and farmer, has had the ag portfolio since the end of May. Manitoba minister Ron Kostyshyn has plenty of ag background — he is a cow-calf producer — but has been in his ministerial job since January. Alberta’s new ag minister, Verlyn Olsen, was also appointed in May. He is a lawyer.

In British Columbia, Norm Letnick, who holds a bachelor of commerce degree and is taking a PhD in health eco-nomics, was appointed two weeks ago. Showing up at an ag ministers’ meeting with about a week’s experience had to be daunting. That’s not even enough time to be thoroughly briefed.

In addition, there was no Quebec ag minister because of the recent election. Does no one in the federal government keep track of election dates?

Further reducing the ranks, Newfound-land’s ag minister was forced to turn around for home because of bad weather.

Timing be darned, this GF2 package had to be, and was, driven through. The old programs expire March 31, and because the current program was a year late in implementation, the feds were likely determined that nothing would cause delays this time around.

That’s not a good enough reason to walk into talks without enough direct consul-tation with farmers and without enough strength on the ag ministers’ bench.

A possible answer to the consultation confusion is that farmers and farm group leaders were not informed that they were being specifically consulted on BRM sup-port when they spoke to, for example, the Senate or Commons ag committees. How else can one explain why Ritz continues to assert that he consulted widely, while every farm group says differently?

But GF2 is signed, and time will tell whether it works for Canadian agricul-ture.

What appears to be positive is the addi-tional funding for research, although it is coming at the expense of BRM programs.

Reducing AgriStability may work in a strong agriculture climate but raises the spectre of ad hoc funding down the road. The change to AgriInvest will likely upset many farmers, with the government’s contribution reduced to one percent from 1.5 percent of allowable income.

There is also a clear shift to putting the onus on farmers to buy private insurance for protection of all kinds, which sends a strong message that this government is disinterested in future BRM programs.

Whether GF2 proves generally benefi-cial or not, farmers — and all the ag min-isters — should have been given opportu-nity for more direct input.

And while there was little outward opposition at the meeting, the federal government created the environment for following its way, or taking the highway.

AG MINISTERS MEETING | GROWING FORWARD 2

Ottawa pushes through farm support program deal

CRAIG’S VIEW

NEW DEAL | GROWING FORWARD

WHITEHORSE — The new five-year agricultural pol-icy that agriculture min-

isters unveiled Sept. 14 represents a seismic shift in government’s view of its obligations to the sector.

For the past half century, since the government of John Diefenbaker introduced the first comprehensive stabilization program for farmers,

the core challenge facing successive governments has been how to design programs that would backstop farm-ers when they faced weather or mar-ket upheavals.

The issue was primarily how to design effective income support programs with several underlying questions:

• As a shared constitutional jurisdic-tion, what should be the spending split between Ottawa and the provinces, between government and farmers?

• Do governments have any obliga-tion to prop up farmers, even if mar-ket signals indicate they aren’t viable in the long term for reasons of size, investment or management skills?

The result, through successive gov-ernments, has been enough pro-grams to fill a policy and acronym museum — tripartite, crop insur-ance, WGSA, GRIP, NISA, CAIS and

all the current Agri programs.When all else failed, governments

would often find an ad hoc billion here or there to get farmers through the latest crisis.

The Whitehorse agreement on the Growing Forward 2 five-year policy framework substantially changes the decades-old debate.

It is true, as federal minister Gerry Ritz said, that government programs will continue to provide billions of dollars of farm support over the next five years.

But it also is true that the two key farm i n c o m e s u p p o r t p r o g r a m s — AgriStability and AgriInvest — are being substantially undermined and govern-ments will spend far less on income support, freeing up hundreds of mil-lions of dollars for other government priorities such as deficit reduction.

Instead, government emphasis switches to programs that support “innovation, competitiveness and market development.”

So that provides Ritz’s answer to the decades-old question about the bal-ance between government and farmer obligations — the emphasis of government support switches from income stabilization to helping equip producers to live or die in the market.

He calls it giving farmers “the tools and the resources they need to stay ahead of the ever changing demands of consumers.”

This is a substantial change of gov-ernment attitude, and producers should take note. Adapt, and if you don’t (or if you do and it still doesn’t work), don’t expect government to ride to the rescue.

This change of philosophy is a signifi-cant triumph for Ritz, and make no mistake, it is largely his vision. The other provincial and territorial ministers signed on, but he drove the process.

Since his days as a Saskatchewan grain farmer, Ritz was convinced that government attempts to support farmers really deterred them from trying to help themselves.

When asked last week about some farm leader arguments that changes to the AgriStability payment trigger formula will so weaken the program’s usefulness that farmers will abandon it, Ritz’s answer was interesting.

“Well, I wouldn’t say I disagree,” he said, before listing other changes that will give farmers the ability to set aside more money to help them-selves in bad years.

Behold the future.

& OPEN FORUM

BY KARI DOERKSEN

I grew up in a small agricultural community, spent seven years in Canada’s best agriculture college

at the University of Saskatchewan and was a research scientist for about eight years.

I do not consider myself an agri-cultural or scientific expert, but I do think agriculture, and the way we talk about it, is important.

The way we communicate and look for information is changing. More than ever, people are going to the internet for their daily news. When we want to know something, what do we do? We used to use an encyclope-dia, now we use Google. This is a fundamental change and not a pass-ing fad.

When the public, including policy makers and politicians, searches for biotechnology or agriculture topics on the internet, what do they find?

Unfortunately, they are not finding a balanced conversation about agri-culture or science. Several anti-agriculture science groups have caught on to the power of social media and are using it to influence public opinion.

They are using successful ways to spread fear and half-truths about how producers treat their animals and land, and there is little opposing information to balance things out.

I nervously joined Twitter about two years ago. I quickly found a small but mighty agriculture community online — farmers, nutritionists and agvocates. How wonderful.

But the community is small, most of them are from the United States, and there is a noticeable lack of agricul-

ture scientists. Producers and ag researchers need

to get more involved.Public opinion does affect govern-

ment policy. Government policy does affect agriculture research funding and regulation. Research and informed public policy are keys to producers’ ability to provide safe and nutritious food in a responsible way and to remain competitive in the national and international market-place.

So why does social media matter? Because now, when the public,

policy makers and politicians Google science and agriculture topics, these little things called blogs and tweets

show up in the search results. What kind of information do you want them to see?

The question is where to start. I sug-gest getting involved, slowly if you need to. Bite the bullet. Use Google. Find trusted agricultural organiza-tions. Read a producer’s blog (try Shaun Haney at www.realagricul-ture.com or @shaunhaney. Find farmers’ blogs at www.causematters.com). If you do not use the internet, tell someone else about it. Maybe they are interested.

Be a leader, and help others become leaders. The practice of leadership challenges us to listen to, understand and respect others, even if we have

differences of opinion. Authentic leaders leave their egos at the door. Passionate, honest, humble and cou-rageous people rarely need to sell anything.

We can rethink communication. In the science community we spend a lot of time discussing how we can make the public understand science. We say, “if only the people under-stood the science, all of our problems would be solved.”

I suggest emphasis could be less on making the public understand sci-ence and agriculture at a detailed level. Farming is complicated. Does the public want to understand this complicated subject at a detailed level? I think that most people don’t have a lot of time for this much in-depth learning.

But people, including me, are curi-ous about you, why you do what you do and what you think about all of this controversy around food.

Tell your story. We’re listening.

You hear many complaints about how the 2008-09 reces-sion obliterated people’s sav-

ings, in some cases by 30 to 50 per-cent or even more. Particularly for those nearing or in retirement, that was disastrous.

For some of those seniors, along with people of all ages across Canada, the recession hit even harder. It hit them in the stomach.

According to a 2011 study by Food Banks Canada called Hunger Count, 851,014 people accepted food from a food bank in March of that year, 26 percent more than pre-recession levels.

We think the economy out here in the West is fabulous, but it isn’t for everyone.

Assistance in Alberta soared between 2008 and 2011, up 75 per-cent to 58,735 people.

In Saskatchewan, 20,665 people needed food, up 16.4 percent from 2008. In Manitoba, the number rose 37 percent to 55,575.

Even in our better economies, the need persists.

Food banks do their best to get the message out that they need dona-tions of food and money to help those who are struggling, but they need all the help they can get.

Farm Credit Canada, to that end, has been operating its FCC Drive Away Hunger campaign since 2004, when an Ontario employee drove a tractor and trailer through the prov-ince for eight days, collecting food and donations.

Since then, FCC, with your help, has collected 7.8 million pounds of food for food banks. Last year, the total was 2.4 million lb. Not bad for one collection drive.

This year, the campaign begins Sept. 24 and runs until Oct. 19, including tractor-trailer tours in mid-October through Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Quebec. Donations can also be dropped off at any FCC office.

It’s depressing to note that food banks were started in the early 1980s — there’s that recession issue again — as a short-term emergency re-sponse to poverty. As Hunger Count notes, “they are not, and were never meant to be, an acceptable long-term approach to this problem.”

Unfortunately, we haven’t solved the problems yet. Fortunately, peo-ple can still access food banks, with help from you, from us, from Drive Away Hunger and FCC.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

September has not been kind to western Canadian agriculture.

The wind has been absolutely crazy: 70 to 90 km/h over an extended time frame and a large geographic area. Swathed canola didn’t stand a chance, particularly if it had dried down and was close to combining.

Scattered canola swaths are not uncommon in the fall, but this year’s damage could be the most wide-spread and expensive in the history of Canadian canola production.

Analysts trying to estimate the loss are coming up with staggering numbers.

So close to the bin. So disappoint-ing.

This on top of myriad other canola woes: sclerotinia, aster yellows, spring flooding, summer heat.

Yes, the price is up dramatically, but production is dramatically disap-pointing.

Producers lucky enough to harvest their canola before the big winds may be facing another disappointment. They may not have as much canola as they thought. In many instances, bushel weights are low. A 5,000 bushel bin may be holding only 4,500 bu. Producers need to be careful not to contract more than they have.

September has been a devastating month for the Canadian hog indus-try. Big Sky Farms is in receivership and Puratone has filed for bankrupt-cy protection. Big Sky is Saskatche-wan’s largest hog producer. Puratone is the third largest in Manitoba.

Big Sky went through creditor pro-tection and was restructured a cou-ple years ago. Many creditors had to take a haircut. Now the operation is likely to be sold for a fraction of replacement value, or it may be sold off in pieces.

The nail in the coffin has been the dramatic rise in feed grain prices, spurred by the shortfall in American corn production.

Large hog operations don’t evoke a lot of public sympathy, but hog farms of all sizes have been dropping like flies. They just don’t garner media attention.

The industry has faced difficult economics for years. Over that ex-tended time frame, profitability has been fleeting and marginal, unable to stack up against the extended periods of huge losses. Now, even the heavy-weights in the industry are going down.

Prices will still be profitable for cow-calf producers looking forward to the upcoming fall calf run, maybe even a bit better than last fall. But they will be nowhere near the levels expected a few short months ago. High feed costs are again the culprit.

Lopping $100 or more from the price of each calf is bitter medicine. This is a case when price insurance based off the futures market could have paid large dividends.

For the southern Prairies, concern is now focussing on the lack of mois-ture. While great for harvest progress, it’s never healthy to see virtually no precipitation for months.

Pastures have dried up and water supplies are a problem in some areas. Fall weed control is affected, as is seeding of winter crops.

Big grass and stubble fires have been whipped up by the high winds. The fire threat remains extreme.

September 2012 will also be re-membered as the time when federal and provincial agriculture ministers trimmed farm safety net support levels.

On the bright side, grain prices are high, fertilizer prices haven’t spiked, there’s crop in the bin, harvest has been early, the grain transportation system seems to be working well, cow-calf production is profitable and there’s lots of time for the south to get much needed moisture.

But September has still been ugly.

This individual could not afford a cellphone, and the health region would not provide one.

I believe that health regions should cover the expenses incurred by first responders during training and attending to emergency calls.

I think it is time that the province recognize how this excellent service is being used to justify facility and service closures and subsequently saves the province a great deal of money.

The health regions expect these good people to pay for the privilege to volunteer, and I for one can see something wrong with this picture.

CWB NOT ELIMINATED

To the Editor:

I am sick and tired of the media and CWB monopoly supporters continu-ously spreading one lie in particular. It is not the CWB that is being elimi-nated, it is the monopoly that is being eliminated. There is a world of differ-ence between the two.

In fact, if the last elected board members had wanted to move into the 21st century instead of locking themselves in the 1930s, they would still have their old jobs.

As I write this, a new, leaner and more efficient CWB is finding new crops to market as well new ways to market the old ones. This was not to

happen under the old board.If you want the government to be all

things to all people, move to Cuba or China. Today, thanks to modern technology, anybody can watch grain futures prices change in the moment it happens, not three days later like 80 years ago.

IMPROVE AGRISTABILITY

To the Editor:

I am home at midnight off the combine and have to respond to future changes to AgriStability and

AgriInvest and answer the call from Kevin Hursh to react to proposed changes to our support program.

I understand and have unfortu-nately had to utilize the AgriStability program. I have been very pleased with its fast processing and respon-siveness to our problem years.

I have taken pride in maximizing our profitability annually, like all producers. Maximizing profitability can and should be reflected through the decent but not perfect program of AgriStability.

I have observed and seen what I feel are games by AgriStability that doesn’t truly put profitability in the year it was attained or fair value of inventory at the final day of year end. I have also seen how holding grain in

REMEMBER HISTORY

To the Editor:

It has been said before, but the big boys used to own the land in Europe, and that is why many of our ances-tors came to Canada. Small-scale private property ownership is the foundation of our democracy and of our country, and a step back toward a thinly veiled, feudal-like system is a serious matter.

Perhaps our new lords in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, etc. and their misled legislative facilitators in Ottawa, but hopefully not Regina, aren’t up on the history of Europe and Canada.

But many Canadians remember our history. We must write our MLAs and MPs in significant numbers and remind them that this new backward trend is unacceptable, and request that they enact laws that will make it illegal.

If your boots aren’t in the tractor, you shouldn’t be able to own the land. A curse from their ancestors on any politician who says and enables otherwise.

Nathan Manning,Elkwater, Alta.

FIRST RESPONDERS’ EXPENSES

To the Editor:

I applaud the work of volunteer first responders in Saskatchewan. They are valuable assets who attend to a medical emergency and assist the patient while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

Living in a small village like I do, an ambulance can take 45 minutes or more to arrive.

First responders take an intensive training program that involves two full weekends. They then provide their services on a volunteer basis, including the use of their own vehi-cles to travel to the site of the emer-gency at any hour.

After they are certified, they attend regular training sessions to enhance their skills, which often involves travel to another community where the training is offered.

They are joined by members of the various ambulance teams from the area who are all paid to attend, while first responders receive nothing.

I know a first responder who was asked by the health region to carry a cellphone to receive emergency calls.

This effectively would place this responder on call 24-7 without pay.

OPINION THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 13

Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadianruralchurch.net.

Luke, one of Jesus’s devoted disciples, tells the story of Jesus healing 10 men.

Because these men had leprosy, they were among the most shunned people of their day. But Jesus noticed them, recognized their plight and extended the miracle of healing to them.

When one of them realized that the severity of his condition had changed, he returned to Jesus to thank him. The others simply went away.

Can we speculate on the difference between the nine and their brother?

In spite of the fact those with lepro-sy had to face physical and social persecution, apparently the one man differed from the others in that he had an intact sense of self-esteem. He was a Samaritan, a hated outsider, but he had learned not to let his con-ditions define him and drag him into despair.

This is a ready lesson for many of us. We may suffer from arthritis, cancer, heart disease, anger or even aging, but we can’t let these conditions define us and render us useless.

He was not “a leper,” he was a man who had leprosy. We are not arthrit-ics. We are people who have arthritis. We are a whole bunch of other things as well. We still have dreams and aspirations. We can still contribute in meaningful relationships. We are far more than imperfect bodies.

It is our attitude and our spirit that define our true selves. It is that spirit that will banish our self-pity and chase away dark clouds of despair.

What better story in the fall, to remember the vital spirit of the per-son with leprosy who recognized he was blessed by the generosity of Jesus? This same kind of spirit can be a blessing to each one of us.

As we experience healing in our own lives, so we can be a blessing to others.

SELF-ESTEEM | TRUE SPIRIT

Gratitude trumps pain

inventory for one or more years can hurt your AgriStability margin due to Olympic formulas.

I think us growers respect Canadian taxpayer support to profitable farm enterprises in years of extreme need. Excluding the highest margin years in the Olympic formula is unjust.

The producer may have read the markets well, and carried large inventory forward from previous years, managing tighter cash flow along the way.

Cashing in this inventory and enhancing profitability, only to see this fall into a top year out of five Olympic years and be excluded from historical profitability, is wrong.

I for one am willing to accept an increased percentage of income drop to trigger AgriStability on only one ground. Take away the Olympic average for margin calculation. Use the actual five-year average includ-ing the good, bad and ugly.

This takes away … past problems and reflects the actual report card and history of the farm enterprise.

Adjustments to percentage of income drop to actual five-year aver-age reference margins can be made in “special circumstances” such as tough consecutive years of act of God scenarios or foreign protectionist activity to markets.

AgriInvest needs to increase its level of support, as it currently penal-izes larger farms or farm partner-ships. This program promotes smaller farms and penalizes farms who work in partnerships under one entity that gains efficiency and shares risk.

The maximum allowable sales needs to increase, allowing for a matching contribution from the farmer and government support.

Marcel van Staveren,Griffin, Sask.

CONSULTATIONS GO FORWARD

To the Editor:

While we admittedly don’t consult with media on agriculture pro-grams, governments have been consulting extensively with farmers for well over a year, now both face-to-face and online as we work to develop the next Growing Forward framework.

Any assertion otherwise is com-pletely false. Let’s look at the facts.

A series of national and provincial engagement sessions was held with farmers, processors, distributors and manufacturers, including national organizations and formal advisory groups.

Over my years as agriculture minis-ter, I have held dozens of farmer roundtables across Canada and countless meetings with Canadian industry members, including the

Canadian Federation of Agriculture. In fact, agriculture ministers meet

with the CFA and other farm groups every year at our annual meeting. My officials also meet regularly with CFA on business risk management issues.

I would also highlight five-month consultations by the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food for their recent report on Growing Forward, which involved 24 meetings and 119 industry stake-holders who delivered over 40 hours of testimony.

Throughout these consultations, industry has told us loud and clear t h a t f a r m p ro g ra m m i n g m u s t focus on innovation and market development if farmers are to be-come more competitive over the long term.

Furthermore, ministers will con-tinue to consult with the sector fol-lowing our annual ministerial meet-

ing in Whitehorse in September. We will work with farmers, proces-

sors and the entire value chain to further develop and implement the next program framework.

The consultations will focus on the longer-term direction for business risk management programs, as well as exploring what other initiatives are required to move the industry for-ward.

As we look ahead, governments will continue to share business risk while also investing in strategic areas, such as innovation and market access to promote growth.

Our government’s strong focus on innovation, coupled with our aggres-sive trade agenda, will position the industry for success in the exciting opportunities offered by the growing global marketplace.

SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

The smile says everything.InVigor® growers are just like any other grower. They believe in community, they love their families, and they work hard to ensure there’s food on everyone’s table.

The big difference is how InVigor growers feel about their crop. But since they have trouble putting it into words, you’ll have to take it at face value. Nothing outperforms InVigor.



WHITEHORSE — As governments shift their policy focus from farm income support to innovation and competitiveness, a new innovation committee will be a key player in the success or failure of the move.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz announced creation of the agri-innovators committee Sept. 14 at the end of the federal-provincial minis-ters’ meeting in Whitehorse.

“This will be the first federal advi-sory body to provide expert advice on where investments in agricultural innovation would be most effective,” he told a news conference.

Former Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Travis Toews from Alberta will be the industry co-chair, along with new federal deputy agriculture minister Suzanne Vinet, who began the job Sept. 17.

Industry representatives include pulse representative Lloyd Affleck and Canadian Canola Growers Asso-ciation general manager Rick White from Saskatchewan, Shaun Moran from Moran Commodities Corp. in Portage la Prairie, Man., former Chicken Farmers of Canada presi-dent David Fuller from Nova Scotia, several processors and Quebec pork producer David Vincent.

“Governments are transforming agricultural policy in Canada to increase focus on pro-active and strategic investments that move the sector forward,” said an Agriculture Canada announcement.

The committee, which will review proposals from governments and industry and advise the federal agri-culture minister on spending priori-ties, will be a vital component in the process.

As part of the five-year Growing For-ward 2 deal announced last week and to be implemented April 1, govern-ment projections suggest a decline of more than $2 billion in business risk management spending over five years with some of that money shifting to non-BRM programs.

The agreement calls for spending of $3 billion over five years on non-BRM programs, including increasing cost-shared funding on the programs to $2 billion from $1.3 billion.

Innovation will be front and centre. Research and increased focus on short-term “cluster research” pro-grams will be a large component.

Last week, even farm groups and provincial ministers who were criti-cal of the BRM funding cuts or the process that produced them were praising the increased spending on innovation.

They were beginning to dream of the projects that could help their jurisdictions as climate change begins to affect farm production.

Saskatchewan minister Lyle Stew-art said federal annual contributions to non-BRM program spending in his province will increase to $56 million from $30 million, with the province adding another 40 percent.

“This will be positive for agriculture with the reinvestment in the non-BR M p ro g ra m m i n g i n c l u d i n g research and innovation, water infra-structure and eventually irrigation infrastructure and other things we

may be able to put on the table with the feds,” he said in an interview. “It’s not restricted at all.”

Ontario minister Ted McMeekin saw research into more drought resistant crops and better water man-agement programs for Ontario, given this year’s costly drought.

Grain Growers of Canada, while lamenting farm support cuts, said more investment in research is wel-come.

“Having varieties of grain with bet-ter yields and more resistance to insects, diseases and drought will

help stabilize our farm incomes and may help reduce the need to draw on support programs in future years,” GGC executive director Richard Phil-

lips said in a news release.The CCA praised the commitment

to more funding for Agriculture Canada’s market access secretariat

and other efforts outlined in the pro-posals geared toward opening new markets around the world.

Agriculture Canada produced a background paper that highlighted past success from innovation invest-ments ranging from development of canola and no-till farming to a paper product made from Manitoba wheat and flax straw.

However, there was no explicit pro-vision in GF2 for a boost to long-term basic research of the kind that led to the creation of canola and the devel-opment of no-till practices.

WHITEHORSE — They agree that the new five-year farm policy frame-work will benefit their farmers, but two provincial ministers argue that next time, the process should be dif-ferent.

Saskatchewan’s Lyle Stewart signed the Growing Forward 2 agreement

with reservations.Ontario’s Ted McMeekin signed it

with more enthusiasm.But both said the next process to

negotiate a long-term farm program framework should be improved.

For McMeekin, the issue was the involvement of farmers.

Even as the federal government was bragging about its broad consulta-tion process with industry over the past two years, farm organization leaders across the country were com-plaining that the consultations didn’t provide farmers with enough details of the proposed changes.

McMeekin, involved in his first national agricultural negotiations since being named minister late last year, heard the complaints and became one of the most open minis-ters with details for his farm con-stituents.

“They (farmers) were saying we would be much more trustful of a process if it actually involved us, and I agree,” he said.

Stewart’s complaint was more about what he saw as a deal “cooked up” behind Saskatchewan’s back during the past two months by other provinces to reduce benefits under the AgriInvest program. With over-whelming provincial support, feder-al minister Gerry Ritz, who is from Saskatchewan, accepted it.

Stewart signed the deal because he supported most of it, but he seethed because Saskatchewan producers have the highest enrolment in AgriInvest in the country — 93 per-cent. They wanted the program unchanged.

He said he was clear about Sas-katchewan’s objection to watering down AgriInvest when ministers met in Toronto in July.

But a British Columbia-led discus-sion among all the other provinces led to a deal to reduce government investment in AgriInvest by one-third in the new agreement in return for a small reduction in proposed cuts to AgriStability.

Stewart said Saskatchewan did not know the talks were going on until a conference call of deputy ministers before the Whitehorse meeting pre-sented it as a done deal.

“The way the deal was reached, we’re not happy about it at all, and hope that this will never happen again in federal-provincial and terri-torial negotiations,” he said.

“I don’t think any province should have been treated like this, let alone the province with the most at stake in agriculture.”

Stewart said that while many pro-ducers will be disappointed by the cuts to AgriStability, he thinks they will accept it.

The trigger for payments under AgriStability is being dropped from 85 percent of historic income to 70 percent, stripping close to $2 billion from expected government obliga-tions over the next five years.

“There will be some disappoint-ment, but they got that with an 85 percent trigger, some of them could actually trigger in a profitable year,” said Stewart.

The response from Canadians to urgent appeals for donations to avert famine in West Africa’s Sahel region has been tepid, says international co-operation minister Julian Fantino.

After a tour of the area accompanied by Canadian aid organization offi-

GLOBAL HUNGER | SAHEL

Famine donations slow to arriveUrgent appeal | Individual Canadians slowto respond to famine warning in West Africa

cials, the minister responsible for the Canadian International Develop-ment Agency said Sept. 11 that Cana-dians had pledged just $1.8 million.

CIDA will match all private dona-tions until Sept. 30.

“As much as every nickel is appreci-ated, it really is underwhelming when one relates that to the tremen-dous need and the challenge faced here on the ground,” he told reporters in a telephone news conference.

CIDA has pledged $71 million to Sahel aid. More than 18 million peo-ple in seven countries are at risk.

However, a prairie-based food aid agency official on the trip said in an e-mail interview from Burkina Faso that while the need is still great, early action by government and aid agen-cies has helped avert a broader food crisis, which dampened the public instinct to donate.

“The relative success of the local government and aid response helped ensure that a widespread food crisis has not turned into an emergency and famine,” said Cana-dian Foodgrains Bank executive director Jim Cornelius.

“As a result, there are no images of starving children to captivate the media and public.”

He said the foodgrains bank has donated more than 10,000 tonnes of food and assistance worth more than $10 million.

Donations to the foodgrains bank have totalled just $266,000.

Cornelius said rain has come and could help next year’s harvest, but families still face food shortages until then. The current green terrain is deceiving.

“This period is often called a time of ‘green hunger,’ when everything looks green but there still is not much food around,” he wrote.

“When I was in the region in May, many households had already con-sumed all their grain, and many more are in this position now.”

Cornelius said high commodity prices make the situation worse because food-deficient families have difficulty buying, and higher local prices discourage the import of cheap-er grain from outside the region.

He said the foodgrains bank fol-lowed its normal practice of buying food aid supplies in the affected region where possible. It is a policy made possible by a Canadian gov-ernment decision several years ago to remove the requirement that at least some of Canada’s food aid must be bought from Canadians.

“Almost all of the food supplied was sourced in countries south of the Sahel, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, where there were surplus crops,” he wrote.

“We used CIDA money and our money. A major factor in sourcing in these countries was to speed delivery of the aid, as a timely response is essen-tial to reducing the negative impacts of these types of crop failures.”

Sahel donations can be made at www.foodgrainsbank.ca/sahel, mailing a cheque to Box 767, Winni-peg, MB R3C 2L4, or by calling 800-665-0377.

but the canola is poor. Canola yields are 22 to 35 bushels per acre.

Soybeans are about one-third combined and are yielding about 25 bu. per acre.

Pasture and hay are in poor shape, and many farmers are short of their winter feeding needs.

Most winter wheat has been seeded, with many producers wor-ried about dry soil. Everyone hopes for rain.

INTERLAKE

Canola yields are only 25 bu. per acre on average. Cereals are average in yield and better in quality.

Even weeds are suffering because of the dryness.

Farmers are delaying post-harvest weed control because weed emer-gence is so light.

Alfalfa desiccation is occurring and some alfalfa seed harvest has taken place.

Corn silage harvest is widespread and yields are good.

SASKATCHEWANWith 56 percent of the crop

harvested, Saskatchewan producers are well ahead of the five-year average of 40 percent for this time of the year. Another 28 percent has been swathed or ready to be straight combined.

Across the province, 44 percent of spring wheat, 68 percent of durum, 52 percent of barley and canola, 76 percent of mustard, 83 percent of lentils and 94 percent of field peas have been combined.

Hailstorms in west-central and northwestern Saskatchewan have damaged some fields, but strong winds that damaged crops and blew swaths were a wider concern.

SOUTH

Dry weather has assisted harvest, although some fields, particularly in the southwest, require rain.

In the southeast, all of the winter wheat and fall rye crops have been harvested. Canola, chickpeas and mustard crops are nearing completion.

Moisture conditions are a concern in the southwest where the warm weather, combined with a lack of rain, means only 10 percent of topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as adequate.

Strong winds across southern Saskatchewan have damaged crops and blown swaths across fields.

Canola yields continue to disappoint. Cereal crops yields in the southeast vary, and producers are waiting for flax crops to mature.

CENTRAL

Producers across the region are approaching the halfway mark of harvest, while crops have received varying amounts of rain.

Progress is further along in winter wheat, pea and chickpea fields in the southeast, with producers in west-central Saskatchewan following closely behind.

Strong winds and hail caused damage in west-central Saskatchewan, with damage estimates ranging from minimal to severe.

Yields continue to disappoint as wind shelled canola and pulse crops, while some canola and cereal

CROP REPORTALL CONDITIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 14

MANITOBA

SOUTHWEST

Harvest progressed well until strong winds arrived, but most of the crop is off the fields so crop loss-es are light for most producers.

Crops have been harvested in good condition.

Little frost damage is reported.Wheat is almost entirely harvested

with average yields and good qual-ity. High protein is reported.

Barley is also nearly all combined, but yields are below average for the average quality crop.

Canola is about 80 percent har-vested and suffered the most from

the wind storm. Quality is good with below average yields.

Many farmers are seeding winter wheat.

NORTHWEST

Virtually all grain is harvested, and progress went well until the wind.

Canola in the swath suffered as it rolled, shattered and shed seeds.

Wheat averaged 45 bushels per acre. Canola has been a disappointing average of 23 bu. per acre.

Flax still awaits harvesting.Soybeans also await and appear to

have good yields.Dry soil has stopped seeding

winter crops, hurt hay and made pasture somnolent. Everyone hopes for rain before freeze-up.

CENTRAL

Crops are mostly in, and recent frost events caused little damage.

Dryness is a problem for farmers who want to plant winter wheat.

Farmers are also having trouble finding enough winter wheat seed. The crop is popular this year because of the early fall, the lack of spread between winter and spring wheat prices and the high winter wheat yields.

Pastures and hay are also suffering from dryness.

Cereals yielded well with good quality.

Canola has had mixed results, with some early-seeded crops doing more poorly than later seeded crops. Flax is being harvested at 10 to 20 bu. per acre. Soybeans are also being combined with 20 to 25 bu. per acre typical.

Corn crops aren’t generally fully mature, but most are in the drying stage. Some harvest is being done.

Sunflowers are also beginning to mature. Potatoes are good quality and above average yield.

in the east are not maturing, leading to quality concerns.

NORTH

The region saw small to significant rainfall over the period, delaying harvest in the northwest, where 27 percent of the crop has been harvested. That is slightly behind producers in the northeast.

Surplus moisture is a concern in some areas, as is wind damage. Delays and weather damage are causing some northwestern producers to swath crops that would normally be straight cut.

Quality and yield concerns persist throughout the region. Problems include disease, insects and bleaching.

ALBERTA

SOUTH

Harvest is 90 to 100 percent com-plete throughout most of the region with yields up from last year. Some pockets have reported yield reduc-tion from summer heat stress and diseases such as sclerotinia and aster yellows.

Potatoes, dry beans and vegetables are mostly finished, and the sugar beet harvest has just started.

Pastures are drying off, but volume remains good so feed supplies are adequate.

The region is dry and most coun-ties across the south have imposed fire bans following a prairie fire Sept. 10-11, which burned 40,000 acres in the southwest.

CENTRAL

Most of the harvest is complete in east-central Alberta, but severe winds and hailstorms wrecked remaining swaths and standing crops.

Peak wind speeds near Oyen were nearly 100 km/h and blew swaths apart and shattered canola.

Damage is still being assessed following two major hailstorms Sept. 1 and 10 from Hanna to the Saskatchewan border.

The hay crop was excellent with considerable custom baling to export forage to the United States.

Winter wheat harvest missed the extreme weather and produced good yields. As a result, more is going into the ground this fall, although the surface is dry.

In the west-central area, harvest has been slow because of a late spring start. Crops look good but the yields are less than expected because of extreme heat during the flowering period.

Pastures and hay fields are still lush and growing.

NORTHEAST

Weather has been variable and has affected harvest progress and yields. Some severe summer hailstorms set crops back, but pastures and hay are in good condition.

Considerable sclerotinia in canola has affected yields. Clubroot has been found in Flagstaff County. Feed tests are showing lower than average protein in silage.

NORTHWEST

Harvest is moving slowly because of recent rainfall. Crops look lush, but yields are less than expected. Hot weather during the flowering period affected canola and other crops.

Pastures remain in good condition.

Soil moisture conditions are good to excellent.

PEACE

Harvest is near completion throughout most of the district, although canola is behind in the northern parts because it is at four percent moisture and shattering is occurring.

No significant rain has fallen since the end of June so pastures are drying up and some pumping is expected this fall to water livestock. Hay yields and quality were better than expected, depending when they were cut.

The northern tip of the Peace has experienced a hotter than average late summer.

Fifteen to 18 days were hotter than 29 C, a situation not seen in the 52 year observation period, according to Alberta Agriculture. A farmer takes advantage of a calm day as he sprays a field east of Beaverlodge, Alta., Sept. 13. | RANDY

B.C. FARMERS’ MARKET GROUP EDUCATES SHOPPERSTh e B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets held a farmers’ appreciation week to promote agricultural issues for its urban customers. | Page 24

More than 100 farmers and ranch-ers gathered at a hotel in downtown Kansas City in late August for two days of workshops and speeches.

However, the producers didn’t travel to western Missouri to hear about the agronomics or economics of agricul-ture. They were there to learn about blogging, Twitter and Facebook.

The producers attended the AgChat Foundation’s third annual Agvocacy training conference. As its name sug-gests, the foundation’s mandate is to get farmers and ranchers talking about agriculture. But instead of talking about the weather or commodity pric-es, the conference is designed to help producers tell their stories through YouTube, blogs, Twitter and Facebook.

Farmers in the U.S. Midwest came up with the idea of the foundation a few years ago. Since then, the organization has grown rapidly and its volunteers have trained hundreds of farmers to use social media more effectively.

“It seems to be, with technology as it is today, that it’s the best way to reach consumers,” said Jenny Sch-weigert, communications assistant with the AgChat Foundation, whose in-laws own a dairy in central Illinois.

“I think it’s very important that we share our stories with our customers, so they understand the grassroots efforts that farmers make … to pro-vide safe and healthy food.”

Most of the graduates of the social media training, known as agvocates, are Americans, but four Canadians attended this summer’s conference in Kansas City.

One of them was Teresa Falk, who grew up on a mixed farm in southern Manitoba and now works as a com-munications specialist for Syngenta in Calgary. Falk, who described the con-ference as “amazing,” attended a ses-sion in advanced blogging because she has a personal blog on agricultur-al issues and rural life called rural-routeramblings.wordpress.com.

Last year, the leaders of the AgChat Foundation received hundreds of applications to attend the annual training conference.

Farmers learn to tweet, blog to promote business

STORIES BY ROBERT ARNASONBRANDON BUREAU

Kelly Daynard didn’t understand the value or relevance of Twitter when it first exploded into popular culture, but that all changed three years ago when she watched an episode of Oprah.

In her role as communications man-ager for Farm & Food Care Ontario, which has the mandate of providing credible agricultural information, Day-nard monitors food topics and discus-sions in the media.

In 2009, Daynard took an afternoon off to watch an Oprah episode featur-ing vegetarians and their thoughts on the meat industry. Daynard followed live discussions on Twitter while watching the show, and that’s when she had her moment of conversion.

“For me, that day, ever ything changed. In real time, farmers across North America were refuting the claims of the people on Oprah,” she said.

“It was the first time I could remember that we (farmers and ag groups) could go head to head with (someone like) Oprah. She might not have been read-ing the tweets … but other people across North America were.”

Since then, Daynard and other staff at Farm & Food Care Ontario, formerly the Ontario Farm Animal Council, have embraced Twitter and social media as a way to communicate directly with Canadians seeking information about food production.

Social media allows a small agricul-tural group like Farm & Food Care, which has 2,500 followers on Twitter, to take on powerful lob-byists who want to modify food pro-duction policies in North America.

“Until the advent of social media, there was always an unfair playing field when it came to anti-a g r i c u l t u r a l g ro u p s. Some of those movements are really well funded … and they would tell their stories, put up their bill-boards and their advertis-ing campaigns and we never had the ability to touch them … because we just don’t have the finances.”

Farm & Food Care also operates two blogs. One, www.letstalkanimals.ca, focuses on livestock, while the other, www.caringfortheland.com, began this summer and provides information on agriculture and the environment.

Daynard said both are designed to clear up misconceptions about food production and share positive stories about Canadian agriculture. For example, a blog post in early September shared information about a Stanford University study on the nutritional value of organic food versus conventional food.

In an ideal world, Daynard would like to see farmers contribute to the blog because stories direct from a producer are more credible than from someone in an office in Guelph.

Although he doesn’t have a blog, Brent Royce is one farmer who has fully embraced Twitter and now has 650 followers. Royce, who raises tur-keys, sheep and has 500 acres of crop-land north of Kitchener, Ont., has tweeted about his farm for two years.

“When I first started, I said if I get 100 (followers) I’ll be doing well.”

Typically, Royce sends out pho-tos or information of everyday

activities on his farm. As an exam-ple, the power once went out on the farm and Royce tweeted that he had to start up standby generators to power the turkey barns. An urban follower tweeted back, ask-ing why that was necessary.

“What? Are the turkeys afraid of the dark?” Royce said, recalling the tweet. “They didn’t understand the need for ventilation.”

That kind of exchange may sound trivial, but Royce uses it as an opportunity to engage Canadians who want to know more about pro-ducing livestock or growing crops.

Depending on the day, Royce might spend a few minutes or half an hour on Twitter.

“If you have a smart phone, you can manage it into your day very easily … but I think the time is very well spent on the education of the public,” said Royce, who is 40.

“If it takes an hour conversation to engage an urban person who doesn’t understand… it’s time well spent.”

Teresa Falk, who grew up on a farm near Snowflake, Man., has also been surprised by the power of social media. Falk, a communica-tions specialist with Syngenta in Calgary, started a personal blog about a year ago to share positive stories about farming and food pro-duction. Falk now has more than 1,100 followers. She said many readers found her blog after they typed in keywords like food, farm-ing or Manitoba into Google.

Her blog posts aren’t particularly controversial, including informa-tion on the history of canola and personal trips to Manitoba. How-ever, Falk said critics of mainstream agriculture are skilled at using the web and Canadian producers need to use Twitter, blogs and other online tools to fight back.

Royce said social media offers advantages besides defending or explaining the industry. Following Twitter feeds from other producers has allowed him to build an online network across North America.

“You get connected with a lot of other farmers and you know what’s happening in the States and differ-ent parts of Canada,” he said.

“And you can share ideas and problems and troubleshooting issues with other farmers. That’s become a big benefit.”

The 120 spots were allocated to producers and agricultural enthusi-asts who want to enhance their online skills.

“We want to make sure we are train-ing farmers and ranchers who are interested in getting involved in social media … to help them better tell their story,” Schweigert said.

Applicants aren’t selected because they have a particular agricultural philosophy, she added.

“We don’t favour one type of agri-culture over another type of agricul-ture,” she said.

“It is not a group of large farmers that are coming together. There are farmers from all ends of the spec-trum. Some who support organic and some who do not.”

The American Farm Bureau, one of the largest farm lobby groups in the United States, is a staunch supporter of the AgChat Foundation because it empowers producers who want to share their story, said public rela-t i o n s d e p u t y d i r e c t o r M a c e Thornton.

“Communicating today is com-pletely different than it was even three to four years ago,” he said.

“It’s all about giving them (farmers)

the tools and the know how … so they can join in the big conversation that we’re all having about food and agri-culture.”

Thornton said there will always be activists who won’t be swayed by a farmer’s blog or a tweet, but millions of Americans and Canadians are genuinely seeking more information about food production. More farm-ers participating in the online discus-sion represents an opportunity to put the facts on the table, he added.

“I think there is a level of misunder-standing that can only be broken down by farmers having conversa-tions with people who have those concerns.”

It is only a few years old, but AgChat is planning to expand its reach. Next year, the foundation intends to have three or four regional training ses-sions as well as its annual confer-ence.

Falk would like to see the AgChat Foundation hold a workshop in Canada or establish a chapter north of the border.

After meeting Americans in Kansas City who are actively tweeting and blogging about agriculture, Falk real-ized that more Canadian producers and agricultural representatives need to be part of the solution.

Even if Canadian producers just post a video on YouTube of a simple task on their farm, she added, they might be surprised by the power of social media.

Q: After spending four years in a diffi cult marriage and another

three years helping raise our two children (we have joint custody), I have finally met a woman who has sparked a romantic interest in me. She is great.

We are dating at the moment, but both of us would like to change that. We are talking about spending the rest of our lives together. But we are also a little nervous.

We have heard of the many night-mares that come with blending fami-lies. Obviously we would like to avoid them. We just want what is best for her two children as well as for mine. Any suggestions?

A: I am not sure that blending families means necessarily en-

gaging in an arm wrestle with night-mares, but as with any challenge in life, the more that both you and your girlfriend prepare your families be-fore you get together, the better are your chances of resolving whatever difficulties you will have adjusting your families to each other.

Before combining your families under one roof, try to encourage everyone to spend as much time

together as possible. Driving into town to pick up a few groceries might be boring for all four of your kids, but it does more for helping them bond with each other than do trips to Dis-ney World or other exotic places. The point is that time spent together in mundane, everyday activities is the foundation from which family rela-tionships develop.

One of you, either you or your girl-friend, is likely more strict with the children than is the other one. While you may not always agree with each

other, you should try to co-ordinate the basic structure of your homes so that you have similar bedtimes, meal times, quiet times and special family activities.

If you can get the structures going before you move in together, you can cut down on the dissension between you and your girlfriend that comes when newly wed parents try to figure out bedtimes. You will spare your children the insecurity that comes when their adult care givers are argu-ing with each other.

And give yourselves and your chil-dren time to make this thing happen. No one is likely to jump into signifi-cant connections with either you, your girlfriend or each other for a long time. Building blended families can take two to five years. A number of blended families get into trouble by expecting to be that “great, big, happy family” long before everyone is prepared to make the concessions to each other they need to make it happen. Patience with and for every-one is fundamental to successful

family blending.Finally, I would like to suggest that

you look up blended families in the search engines on your computers, and do that before the two of you get your families together.

You can learn a lot by talking to each other about what you have found to be the experiences of other families. They are worth noting.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 23FARM LIVING

This morning I was watching a television show discussing green bagged lunches. By this

I mean using reusable rather than throwaway packaging, including prepackaged food.

Not only are they better for your health and Mother Earth, but the show claimed you could save about $500 per child per year.

By coincidence, I was also in a store today buying canning jars and I came upon the lunch box section. My own bagged lunches are pretty simple, so I was not up on all the new ideas.

The insulated lunch bags were amazing and not expensive if you shop carefully.

There are many choices. Some have firm inserts so the food will not be crushed. Some have zippered areas. Some have shiny plastic handles that would be cold and hard in the winter. A cloth strap would be more comfort-able and durable.

There are also several choices in insulated containers for single serv-ing cold and hot food.

Choose a wide mouth container if you will be packing soups and stews. It is much easier to eat from the con-tainer and not necessary to pour the food into a bowl. Take your children when you buy these products so they can test opening and closing them.

And then I saw the cutest ice packs, sold in pairs for less than $2.

Are the wheels turning yet? Yes, insulated lunch bags, little ice packs and reusable containers offer a plethora of opportunities for nutri-tious lunches. With the experience of a teacher, I suggest you write your child’s name in permanent marker on all these items.

There is no need to make special lunch food all the time. You can use hot or cold supper leftovers. There are $1 gel packs that can be heated or frozen. The Thermos containers also keep food hot.

Now for the other green that is good in lunches: vegetables. Nutritious snacks and lunches are not always possible during crazy busy times but here are some suggestions.

Creating a good lunch

Health Canada says one-third of your child’s daily nutrient require-ment should be provided at lunch-time. Canada’s Food Guide shows us how much food is required each day. This varies with the age of the child or teen. Therefore, it is important to pack carefully.

In addition to nutrients, our body needs fibre, found mainly in fruit, vegetables and whole grain.

Processed food provides an over abundance of salt and sugar, both of which we are over consuming. Bev-erages are important to keep the body hydrated. Water is best. Milk would be second. Juice should be consumed in moderation. Soda pop has no place in regular daily meals.

Now back to the canning jars. I use them all the time for packaging food

Q: I am wondering whether my poor memory is something I

should be concerned about? I have never had a very good mem-

ory for people, names or directions, but it seems to have got worse since I turned 50. I am female and just enter-ing menopause. I often go to the fridge and cannot remember why I went there, and I am always forget-ting where I left my glasses.

Is this normal at my age?

A: I don’t know if anyone has researched this, but glasses

seems to be the most likely object to be left behind. I was always finding other people’s glasses, mainly sun-glasses, in my reception room or on my desk.

Because it is so common, it cannot be seen as a sign of clinical memory loss or dementia. People are more likely to leave their glasses behind when they have reached the age when reading glasses are required but they don’t need them for walking around, so they put them down and forget to pick them up.

The examples you mention are due to failures of prospective memory. This occurs when we plan to do something later, like attending an appointment or remembering to wish a friend happy birthday, and then become busy with other tasks, losing focus on the thing we origi-nally intended to do.

It is not all about memory, but involves other thinking process such as planning ahead, attention and task management.

Most of our daily actions are repeti-tive, such as driving to work, making meals or brushing our teeth and we don’t give these much thought.

Memory loss is also often confused with lack of concentration. Failing to remember a name at a party is gener-ally because you weren’t paying much attention in the first place. When you are tired, your concentra-tion may be impaired.

Menopausal symptoms often include sleep disturbances because hot flashes can wake you up at night.

Very gradual memory loss is nor-mal with aging, but there are medical conditions other than Alzheimer’s that can also affect your memory but are generally treatable. These include thyroid disease, diabetes, liver or kidney failure, vitamin B12 deficiency, severe anemia and acute infections such as pneumonia, where there is a high fever.

Alcoholism and drug dependency can be factors, as can taking pre-scription or over-the-counter medi-cations.

Psychiatric illness may also lead to problems with memory and concen-tration. Examples are depression, anxiety disorders and attention defi-cit disorder.

Purée in blender until it resembles ice cream. Freeze in one cup mason jars (250 mL). Leave two inches (five cm) head space to allow for expan-sion. After frozen, tighten metal screw top and lid. Take out of the freezer as needed. It will soften by snack time or lunchtime. Makes four smoothies. Be sure to pack a straw and spoon.

SALAD IN A JAR

Make these on Sunday and they will keep all week in the refrigerator.

salt & pepper honey wide mouth Mason jar 500 mL

Amounts of ingredients will vary depending upon how many jars you wish to make.

A few issues back, I shared my rec-ipe for tarragon white wine vinegar. If you made it, then it can be used here. Otherwise, simply use something light such as cider, white wine or rice wine vinegar. Use one part vinegar to three parts oil and add a teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard (5-10 mL) to help create the emulsion. Whisk vigorously. Add honey and salt and pepper to taste and whisk again. To each mason jar, add in the following order:

3 tbsp. vinaigrette dressing 45 mL 1/4 c. sliced or diced 60 mL cucumber 1/4 c. cubed feta cheese 60 mL greens to fill almost full,

well packed but not tightly packed

2 tbsp. sliced raw almonds 60 mL peach, unpeeled, sliced

and drizzled with lemon juice to prevent browning

The great thing about salads is that you can make them to suit your taste. If you can’t find feta, use another firm cheese. Be creative and try new com-binations. I make salads like I make soups and use what is on hand. At lunchtime, turn the jar upside down and shake so the dressing is distrib-uted throughout. Open and enjoy.

Make a variety so monotony doesn’t set in.

The guide for making a layered salad is simple. Place dressing and liquids on the bottom. Then add ingredients that hold up well when submerged in dressing such as beans, cucumbers, radishes, onion and hard cheese. They may even pickle a little in the dressing.

Next add heavier items that you may not want directly touching the dress-ing when stored. That might include a type of protein such as eggs, chick-peas, lentils or meat. On top of that add leafy greens and light ingredients that take up a lot of space such as spin-ach, kale, chard or lettuce.

Then place a small amount of accent items such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, croutons and accent spices. And finally, on top place colourful ingredi-ents to perk up the taste buds when you pop open the jar, such as fruit, herbs and nuts. Grains and pasta could also be placed near the top so they don’t get soggy in the dressing. Many schools are nut-free so be sure to follow the guidelines of your school.

Tear rather than cut salad greens to prevent browning on the edges.

BEET GREEN SALAD WITH PEACHES AND FETA

Q: I’ve heard a lot about will kits, or even doing up a will online.

Why would I go to a lawyer and pay many times as much for the same document?

A: When you go to a lawyer you get more than the will document.

This week, I will address the issue of unexpected costs that can arise if you choose not to use a lawyer and what a lawyer can do to prevent those costs. The next column will address the important legal advice that can be provided by a lawyer.

Your last will and testament is a set of instructions on how you would like your estate to be distributed upon your death. Having a will does not guarantee that it cannot be chal-lenged in court, which could cost your estate and the person challeng-ing it a lot of money, even if they aren’t successful.

For example, take a fictional elderly couple from Melville, Sask., Martha and John. They are both in good health and have their wits about them.

They used to farm but have moved into town. The couple has two sons, Bob and Larry. Bob is an accountant, married with three children and lives in Regina. Larry is married with no children and rents the farm from his parents.

Larry and his wife help his parents quite a bit. He shovels their snow in the winter, mows their lawn, drives them to doctors’ appointments and his wife takes them to get groceries and medication. Bob is busy with his own family, but always makes it home for holidays and the odd visit, bringing the grandchildren.

Martha and John decide to update their will and use a will kit to save

money. They’re appreciative of all the help they receive from Larry and his wife. Their old will split their estate evenly between their boys, but now they think they would like to give the farm to Larry as a way of saying thank you for everything Larry and his wife do for them.

The house in town, worth half as much as the farm, will go to Bob. They don’t have much else, and live off of the rent from the farm and their Canada Pension Plan.

Martha dies shortly after making the new will, leaving everything to John. John dies six months later.

At reading the will, Bob is upset that he isn’t receiving half of the estate. He doesn’t believe Martha and John were of sound mind when they made the wills. Bob is also concerned that Larry may have influenced them.

“Larry and his wife were always around. He just wanted the farm to himself and kept saying this and that to Mom and Dad till they changed their will to shut him up.”

Because the will was done at home without a professional, Bob might have a case in court. Even if John and Martha were of sound mind and were not influenced by Larry, it could look otherwise to a judge.

Lawyers are under an obligation to check for these issues when making a will, and the courts know this.

A lawyer who is unsure of some-one’s mental capacity may even ask for a physician’s note confirming they are of sound mind. They speak to their clients alone, without any family present, to make sure that they are not being influenced by anyone.

The lawyer keeps notes on these discussions, which can be used to defend against a claim. Nothing is guaranteed, but a will prepared by a lawyer is often given more weight in court than one made at home.

BY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A week designated to celebrate food and farming in British Columbia is designed to focus farmers’ market shoppers on agricultural issues.

The B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets held its third farmers appre-

ciation week Sept. 8-15, and 34 of the province’s 103 registered markets were scheduled to host events during the week.

“We want to really raise awareness about agriculture because when people do shop at farmers’ markets, they may not be aware of the issues around agriculture,” said Elizabeth

Quinn, the association’s executive director.

“They’re there really for the taste and the flavour and the experience.”

The focus this year was on the need to encourage young people to farm. The average age of farm operators in B.C. is 55, and 48 percent of farmers in Canada are 55 and older.

Quinn said the number of farmers’ markets is growing, but some cannot find enough farmers to supply them.

Association president Jon Bell, a farmers’ market vendor in Sechelt, B.C., said mentoring will be needed to get more young people involved.

“We’ve got a lot of kids out there that are feeling really enthused about farming, but they don’t know where to start. They don’t know how. They don’t have the capital. Those are the ones we need to help by working with them, mentoring them and giving them a hand.”

Farmland is expensive, but leasing can be an option to get started. Quinn said growing for farmers’ markets can help beginners gauge their apti-tude and interest in farming.

A trend toward more winter mar-kets might also help extend profits for vendors and improve availability of

local products for consumers.Quinn said more than a dozen mar-

kets in the province run throughout the winter.

A frequent criticism is that food is more expensive, though information about price tends to be anecdotal.

The association’s manager visited 21 communities this summer and noted prices for conventionally grown products at farmers’ markets and at grocery stores in each com-munity. He has collated data from eight of those communities and found prices to be the same or lower at farmers’ markets, Quinn said.

Bell visits grocery stores in his area before setting prices for his produce at farmers’ markets. Others likely do the same, he said, which would account for price similarity.

D O U G L A S , O n t . — D r i v i n g through eastern Ontario’s Renfrew County to Mike Donohue’s farm, it is difficult to imagine this is ground zero for Ontario’s worst drought in decades.

Fields are green after several days of rain showers and the landscape looks normal, except for the fields dotted with round bales that should be plentiful but this year are few and far between.

Donohue said the green fields are a bit of an August mirage.

“It’s like the rain came mixed with green paint,” he said. “Brown fields turned green, but there are no roots and still no pasture.”

Although the Ontario drought has been regional rather than general, farm leaders and provincial govern-ment officials are predicting losses of hundreds of millions of dollars. Southwestern Ontario’s rich fruit and vegetable industry has been hard hit but the worst affected has been the cattle and cash crop industry in east-ern Ontario.

Ontario agriculture minister Ted McMeekin has asked for Agri-Recovery aid for the affected region.

Renfrew County, west of Ottawa, has been the epicentre of the drought, with May, June and July producing just one-third of normal rainfall. Corn and hay were stunted and pastures non-existent.

With 425 breeding heifers, 48-year-

old Donohue has one of the largest cow-calf operations in the region. This dry spell is the worst he has seen in the 22 years he has farmed.

He owns 1,200 acres and rents another 500 acres for pasture, but his business plan always has included buying most of his hay and selling calves in fall and spring to be back-grounded.

This year, hay is difficult to find, has to be trucked in from distant regions and is expensive.

Making it worse, there is little local supply at the best of times. During the past decade, forage acreage in the county has declined sharply.

The lack of pasture this year has led to an early run on what was meant to be a winter supply. He already has fed 200 large round bales instead of start-ing the feeding in November.

And with the scarcity of hay, the bales cost two to three times more than normal.

Meanwhile, with cow herd culls in the drought-affected U.S. Midwest flooding the market and pushing cattle prices down, Donohue expects lower prices for his fall calf sales. Although prices have not dropped drastically, animals he has sold are already 75 pounds lighter than usual.

“I really am getting hit on both sides of the ledger because feed costs are through the roof and I expect prices for my calves this fall will be down.”

It was not what he expected when he penciled out the economics of 2012, a year when he expected his AgriStability historic margin calcula-

tions to get a boost after years of low margins post-BSE.

“I probably anticipated $30,000 to $40,000 profit from the farm in 2012,” said Donohue.

“Now, I’m probably looking at a $40,000 to $50,000 loss.”

Although his wife, Stephanie, has a “solid career” in the travel industry that provides a base of family income in tough farm years, Donohue said he operates the farm as a self-contained business that balances losses in the bad years against profits in good years. He also sells electricity to Ontario Hydro from solar panels installed in one of his fields.

Donohue said he is an optimist.Rain in late August through Sep-

tember could reduce those losses if the pastures come back, but rain is not in the long-range weather fore-cast for the area.

If not, his farm will survive.“This year will hurt, for sure, but it

won’t put me out of business,” he said. “With normal rains next year and a smaller cattle herd generally, I really am expecting good profitable years for the next few years and finally some black ink. After BSE, what’s wrong with making some profit?”

Donohue is coping by not replacing cattle or calves he has sold, although there has not been a deliberate cull-ing process.

“My herd hasn’t been depleted by it, but it will be smaller by the end of this,” he said. “However, I really do believe there are better years ahead and we will weather this.”

LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — The third global food price spike in four years may have peaked after a sum-mer of stunning increases in cereal markets.

Fears of unrest and hunger seen in the 2007-08 crisis emerged as the worst U.S. drought in more than half a century and persistent dryness in other key grain producing countries sent corn and soybean prices to suc-cessive record highs.

However, on Sept. 12 the U.S.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — ABC News has been hit with a $1.2 billion defamation lawsuit by a South Dako-ta meat processor that accused it of misleading viewers into believing that a product critics have dubbed “pink slime” was unsafe.

Beef Products Inc. sued over ABC reports in March and April about the company’s lean finely textured beef.

In court papers, the company said ABC falsely told viewers that the beef product was not safe, not healthy and not even meat.

“The lawsuit is without merit,” Jef-frey Schneider, senior vice-president of ABC News, said in a statement. “We will contest it vigorously.”

BPI is the largest U.S. producer of lean finely textured beef, a filler made

from fatty trimmings. The trimmings are sprayed with ammonia to kill bacteria.

While the filler has long met federal food safety standards, critics have questioned its safety, and companies such as McDonald’s, Yum Brands, Taco Bell and supermarket chain Safeway have stopped buying the product.

BPI filed its 263 page complaint in Union County Circuit Court in South Dakota. It said ABC included nearly 200 false, defamatory and disparag-ing statements in on-air and online reports and in social media postings.

Several individuals were also sued, including ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, reporters Jim Avila and David Kerley and three others

who appeared or were quoted in the reports, including a former BPI employee.

The Dakota Dunes of South Dakota also accused ABC of interfering with its business dealings with grocery store chains and ground beef processors.

BPI said the media furor forced it to shut three of its four plants and elimi-nate more than 700 jobs, roughly half its workforce, which cost more than $20 million of revenue each month.

It also said weekly sales of the beef filler have fallen to less than two mil-lion pounds per week from nearly five million.

BPI is seeking $400 million in com-pensatory damages, which the com-pany wants tripled, plus punitive damages.

Department of Agriculture cut its forecast for the country’s corn crop by less than one percent, indicating the worst drought in U.S. Midwest in 56 years may have done less damage than anticipated.

“The situation seems pretty com-fortable compared to what many people feared,” said Abdolreza Abbassian, senior economist and grain analyst at the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization.

The U.S. drought had also sent wheat prices up by more than 50 per-cent and prompted calls for an emer-gency meeting of Group of 20 nations and joint action to calm markets.

“The concern we heard about ear-lier on was related to a worsening of the situation, and this report does not draw that conclusion,” Abbassian said.

The most recent food price surge revived memories of the 2007-08 crisis, which the FAO estimated add-ed 75 million to the number of chron-ically hungry people in the world. Other estimates put the increase at up to 160 million.

Robert Thompson, a food security expert at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and professor emeri-tus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said grain prices probably climbed higher than they needed to, based on supply and demand.

“Probably we overshot a little bit on the scare a month or so ago, but it sent a strong signal that we were going to have to ration a smaller crop,” he said.

“It definitely got everybody’s atten-tion and started changing intentions in the livestock and poultry sector. It was a shot heard around the world.”

Rich Nelson, chief strategist for Allendale, said the corn market had probably peaked.

“Drought rallies are based on the question of identifying production. Once that question is answered, the rally is over,” he said.

Some analysts and traders were still wary of calling an end to the price rises, noting that the USDA may have been reluctant to cut its corn crop forecast too aggressively with the corn harvest only 15 percent com-plete. Major revisions often come in the October report.

Analysts also said prices may need to remain high to reduce demand for corn with supplies still set to be extremely tight.

“It’s not a bold report. In the USDA’s view, the situation is not worse than last month., but we know that there is the potential for a downward revi-sion,” said Sebastien Techer, analyst with grains consultancy Agritel.

“So it won’t be the return to low prices because we will need to ration demand through high prices and maybe have even higher prices in order to ration demand further.”

Claus Keller, grains specialist with German commodity analyst F.O. Licht, said prices may dip short-term but could strengthen again soon with the supply outlook still tight.

“The U.S. corn crop remains the smallest since 2006, and at that time the world had a much different sup-ply and demand balance with less consumption for ethanol.”

A leading Canadian demographic expert agrees with a recent report from Statistics Canada that recom-mends the return of the long form census.

Susan McDaniel, Canada Research Chair in Global Population and Life and a sociology professor at the Uni-versity of Lethbridge, said Statistics Canada’s review of the 2011 census

process and its consideration of oth-er options was a good report that should carry weight with the federal government.

“They will have to pay attention to this report because they essentially asked for this report,” McDaniel said.

“I think that the government really was asking for a consideration of options, which is fair enough, and now that’s been done.”

The Conservatives eliminated the mandatory long form census, which was sent to one in five selected Cana-dian households, in July 2010.

At the time, then industry minister Tony Clement said it was because Canadians considered the manda-tory long form intrusive and the pen-alties too severe for failure to fill it out.

A voluntary National Household Survey (NHS) was issued instead, in addition to the short form census sent to all Canadian households.

The NHS had a 69.3 percent re-sponse rate. McDaniel said that is considered good for a voluntary sur-vey but does not replace the statisti-cally reliable data that the long form used to provide.

“We don’t know who that 31 per-cent is that are missing and probably they’re not randomly distributed, and that’s a worry,” she said.

“We do know for sure that you can’t generalize to the entire population if you’ve got 31 percent missing.”

The sociologist noted there was widespread disagreement with the decision to eliminate the long form census, and the reasons appear to have been red herrings.

Statistics show few complaints about privacy or intrusion and no one has ever been fined or jailed for failing to fill out the form.

Nor was the decision a cost-saving measure. The voluntary household survey went to all households in-stead of one fifth and cost an esti-mated $30 million more to adminis-ter than the previous method.

“It’s not funny because it’s our money, but they ended up spending more for lower quality data,” said McDaniel.

Census data is used by a wide spec-trum of society, business and gov-ernment to make decisions on infra-structure, education and health care.

In its report, Statistics Canada examined alternative measures to collect reliable data.

“That’s what they came to, that the mandatory long form census that we’ve done forever, since we’ve been doing censuses, is the best way to go,” said McDaniel.

She said she hopes the government will consider the report and reinstate the form.

“As it is, we’re going to have that hole for 2011 forever, but we should go back to it and try to get back on track for 2016, so I’m hoping that’s what they’ll do.”

Statistics Canada said it will con-tinue to analyze its methods.

“The necessary conditions for the conduct of a traditional census approach are expected to continue to exist for 2016 in Canada. The degree of public co-operation with the cen-sus (mandatory) is still at high levels,” the report said.

BY ROBERT ARNASONBRANDON BUREAU

The largest farmer-owner co-op-erative in the United States is planning to construct a $1.4 billion nitrogen fertilizer plant in North Dakota.

In mid-S eptember, CHS Inc. announced its intent to build a plant near Spiritwood, N.D., which will use the state’s abundant supplies of natu-ral gas to produce anhydrous ammo-nia, urea and UAN liquid fertilizer.

It plans to sell the nitrogen fertilizer to producers in the Dakotas, Minne-sota, Montana and Canada.

Jack Dalrymple, North Dakota’s governor, endorsed the project as a boon for farmers in the region.

“This potential for this type of proj-ect is great news for our farmers and for the entire state of North Dakota,” said Dalrymple, who participated in the CHS announcement in Bis-marck.

“The CHS plant will help us further reduce the flaring of natural gas in western North Dakota and it will provide our farmers with a reliable supply of locally produced fertiliz-ers in place of imports from foreign countries.”

The CHS announcement may be good news for North Dakota but it complicates matters for another group planning to build a nitrogen fertilizer plant in the region.

In July, the North Dakota Corn Growers Association and other com-modity groups announced plans to construct a $1.5 billion, farmer owned fertilizer plant in the state.

Canadian producers have taken a leadership role in developing the farmer-owned plant, as the Keystone Agricultural Producers and the Manitoba Canola Growers Associa-tion are participating in a steering committee for the project.

Don Pottinger, a Minnesota consul-tant and business adviser to the con-sortium of growers, wasn’t shocked by the CHS announcement.

“We expected CHS to announce what they did because we run in the same circles,” he said from his home near Minneapolis. “What it does is underscore the point that there is a monstrous void in the area, in local production of nitrogen containing fertilizers…. That plant will go a cer-tain distance to filling that need and other plants will too.”

Consequently, the farmer-owned plant is moving forward and will con-tinue to seek investors.

Pottinger acknowledged that nitro-gen from two large-scale fertilizer plants would likely overwhelm the North Dakota market. Yet, there is sufficient demand in the region.

“An area that includes North Dako-ta, southern Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba, Minnesota, South Dakota, parts of Montana and parts of Iowa. It’s a 30 or 40 million acre market.”

So far, CHS has selected a 200 acre site near Spiritwood and will soon begin the design and feasibility stud-ies for its plant. The co-operative has committed $10 million to the feasi-bility phase of the project.

If construction proceeds as expect-ed, CHS hopes to open the plant by 2016. Construction cost, based on CHS estimates, will be $1.1 to $1.4 billion.

CHS is based in Minnesota and is owned by American farmers and cooperatives. It operates about 70 farm service centres in 15 states, sell-ing ag inputs, fuel, farm supplies and providing grain marketing services to 50,000 U.S. producers.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — A U.S. farm group has dropped its opposi-tion to Dow AgroSciences introduc-ing a new biotech crop system.

In exchange, the company will make concessions, including offer-ing help to investigate accidental crop damage.

The deal calls for “several new safe-guards” from Dow that are related to using a reformulated herbicide and the biotech crops that have been engineered to be used with it.

While other groups still oppose Dow’s crop system, the agreement

with Save Our Crops could speed regulatory approval sought by Dow.

Save Our Crops represents more than 2,000 U.S. farmers. It had filed legal petitions with the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture and the Environ-mental Protection Agency opposing Dow’s new crops and herbicide, together called Enlist.

The group is one of many organiza-tions that have protested the pro-posed new crop system, citing feared damage and contamination of other crops and harm to the environment and human health.

Strong opposition remains, but Dow officials hope to gain regulato-ry approval quickly so they can start selling new biotech corn seeds in the next few months, said spokes-person Garry Hamlin. U.S. farmers generally start buying seed in the fall for planting in the spring, and the selling season is kicking off this month.

“We’ve been signaling all along that we thought differences like these could be resolved,” said Hamlin. “We think we’ve reached a favorable reso-lution. We want to be able to provide

this to growers for 2013. We recog-nize that it is September ... but that continues to be our goal.”

U.S. agricultural and environmen-tal groups have been in an uproar over Dow’s intentions to commer-cialize new genetically modified corn, soybeans and cotton that will withstand the new Enlist herbicide.

The herbicide combines glyph-osate with a reformulated version of 2,4-D.

While long proven as an effective weed killer, 2,4-D is controversial for its volatile nature and toxic effects

and for its tangential ties as one of the elements in the Agent Orange defoli-ant used in Vietnam.

Some farmers have protested Dow’s move because they fear increasing use of 2,4-D will add to the damage already done when 2,4-D drifts on the wind into fields and gar-dens, where it kills not just weeds but other plants and crops. Dow said it has reduced the volatility and risk of drift with the new formulation.

As well, Dow has agreed to amend its labelling instructions for farmers to specify for applications near sensi-tive crops. It has also committed to help investigate damage claims on non-targeted crops and educate growers and applicators in proper application to reduce off target movement, especially in areas with sensitive crops.

Dow said it will price the seed and herbicide technology competitively to reduce the likelihood farmers will use generic 2,4-D, which does not have the reduced drift and volatility.

“With this agreement ... we are no longer opposing the Enlist program,” said Steve Smith, director of agricul-ture at Red Gold, the world’s largest processor of canned tomatoes and a leader of Save Our Crops, the coali-tion that had been battling Dow.

“We think Dow has done a good job understanding the necessity to put several new safeguards in place,” Smith said.

Enlist is the first in a planned series of new herbicide-tolerant crops aimed at addressing a surge in weeds that have developed resistance to Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.

Roundup use increased dramati-cally after Monsanto introduced Roundup Ready crops in the mid-1990s. While Roundup once killed weeds easily, experts say that even heavy use of Roundup now often fails to kill resistant weeds.

BASF and Monsanto plan to unveil by the middle of this decade crops tolerant to a mix of the chemicals dicamba and glyphosate. Smith said his group remains opposed to the dicamba product.

Many critics remain opposed to 2,4-D-tolerant crops. Among other things, they are concerned that greater use of 2,4-D will add to increased weed resistance. As well, several medical and public health professionals have expressed con-cerns that increased use of 2,4-D could be harmful to humans.

Critics have cited studies that report an association between exposure to 2,4-D and non-Hodgkin’s lympho-ma, a cancer of the white blood cells that can be fatal. 2,4-D has also been linked to birth defects, neurological damage in offspring and interference with reproductive function, accord-ing to critics.

There is also great concern that the new biotech crops will contaminate conventional and organic crops.

The USDA has received more than 4 5 0 , 0 0 0 c o m m e n t s o p p o s i n g approval of the 2,4-D tolerant crop-ping system.

“Opposition remains. This deal is a real disservice to those of us who are trying to get responsible regulation on this,” said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The possibility of a third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River has hung over Ken and Arlene Boon like a black cloud for 20 years.

The storm clouds are now getting closer.

A joint federal and provincial environmental assessment is under way and a decision on BC Hydro’s Site C dam and hydroelectric generation station is expected within two years.

“I don’t think there is a day I don’t wake up and not think about it,” said Arlene, whose grandfather came to this area of northern British Columbia in the 1940s.

For the Boon family, the proposed dam would raise the water level of the Peace River to just below their home and force the relocation of the highway through a hay field above their house. The house wouldn’t be flooded, but it would likely slide away because of unstable soil on the riverbanks.

A little farther down the road, the proposed realigned Highway 29 would go through their private campsite on the highway between

Fort St. John and Hudson’s Hope.It’s the same story for 34 other

farmers on 83 kilometres of the river valley from Fort St. John to Hudson’s Hope.

The Site C dam would raise the water 50 metres and make the Peace River two to three times the width of its current banks, swallowing 12,000 acres of land. Approximately 1,500 acres are under cultivation for grain and forage.

Esther Pedersen’s house is the closest residence to the proposed dam site and is on the erosion impact line, where B.C. Hydro engineers believe erosion from the reservoir could occur.

“My quarter section would fallinto the river,” said Pedersen,adding that residents are starting to realize there will be more negatives than positives from the proposed dam.

However, a recent Harris Decima poll found that 80 percent of the 800 B.C. residents polled favour the Site C dam, as long as proper environmental concerns are addressed, said Dave Conway, community relations manager with BC Hydro.

There was no breakdown of the level of support for the dam among residents of northern B.C., who will

feel the most impact. Eight percent of the population, or 330,000 people, live in northern B.C., and 63,000 of them live in the Peace River region.

The Boons believe they can still stop construction of the dam, despite public opinion polls, ongoing studies, public hearings and maps showing the proposed realigned

highway and wider river banks.“We’re confident this is not going to

happen,” said Ken.Added Arlene: “It’s David and

Goliath and it seems we are gaining momentum.”

She has handed out hundreds of preliminary design maps to anyone who shows an interest in the Site C

project and its impact on the Peace River. As part of an ongoing awareness raising campaign, the couple helped initiate Paddle for the Peace, a day-long canoe trip to show off the beauty that will be lost. Environmental activist David Suzuki attended this summer’s event.

For the Boons, it’s not just about

their farm or the 13,500 acres along the river that will be flooded. The loss of fertile soil along the river valley also concerns them.

“This valley is so unique. It has a microclimate with class one soil. There are tremendous agriculture capabilities in the valley,” said Ken.

The long daylight hours means corn grown in Peace River area market gardens is ready earlier than Alberta’s famous Taber corn.

This year, the Boons rented river land to a market gardener whose corn matured three weeks earlier than corn on top of the valley.

“Stuff down here grows way faster than it does up there,” said market gardener Charles Steiner, pointing to the top of the river hills.

If the dam is approved, the impact for Steiner is simple.

Site B, or the Peace Canyon Dam, was finished in 1980 and is 23 km downstream from the W.A.C. Bennett Dam.

The Site C dam, also proposed during that time, was rejected after the BC Utilities Commission hearings in 1982 and again in 1989.

In 2010, the provincial government introduced the Clean Energy Act, which requires at least 93 percent of the electricity generated in B.C. to come from clean, renewable resources.

The Site C dam is part of BC Hydro’s and the provincial government’s plan to meet the demand from a growing provincial population.

Conway said the electrical load demand is expect to grow one to two percent over the next 20 years. Meeting the increased demand will come from a combination of energy conservation programs and new energy generation projects such as wind, wood, coal, natural gas and hydroelectric projects. Site C would supply 1,100 megawatts of capacity.

“It’s the capacity we’re after,” Con-way said. “If we had the project now, we could use it.”

As part of the environmental impact statement slated for completion by early 2013, B.C. Hydro is now holding meetings to gain input on worker accommodation, transportation and agriculture.

The project is scheduled to be completed by 2021, if approvals are met.

Arthur Hadland, a farmer from Taylor, B.C., said the biggest problem with the proposed dam is the unstable soil along the Peace

River. While the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams are built into bedrock, there is only slippery clay soil over unstable shale along the proposed Site C river valley route.

“It is truly unstable,” said Hadland.“This is a disaster of the 21st

century. They will have a mess on their hands they won’t be able to manage.”

Hadland said he believes the engi-neers’ erosion impact lines are just a guess and that the slumping will be worse than anticipated.

Instability issue

The unstable soil is not a secret. In 1973, the Attaché slide near the Half-way River, about half way between Fort St. John and Hudson’s Hope, blocked the Peace River for 14 hours.

“There are areas like that we know are unstable,” said Conway.

“Erosion and potential for slides is located in potentially four or five areas. We would be concerned about that. We would monitor that.”

To Hadland, the unstable soil is a large enough concern that the project should be scrapped.

“I would defy anyone to unequivocally state that destroying a river is green or clean.”

Conway said environmental costs are associated with the dam, but there are also benefits to having three dams in a row on the river.

“The reason this facility makes sense is you’re using the water for a third time. You get one third of power generation as W.A.C. Bennett dam and with a reservoir 1/20 the size. Yes there are impacts, we’re not saying they’re not substantive, they

are, and there is a lot of work we have to do to avoid if we can and mitigate,” said Conway.

To Ken Boon, the latest scale of the Site C proposal and its accompany-ing environmental assessments are more serious than previous attempts to build the dam.

“They’ve studied everything from mice to moose,” he said.

“They have helicopters flying, boats on the river, guys running around catching butterflies.”

In August, the company spent $12 million to buy 160 acres of land just outside Fort St. John next to the dam site to use as fill for the earthen dam.

BC Hydro estimates the dam will cost $7.7 billion, but will supply enough electricity for 450,000 homes per year for more than 100 years. Boon thinks there must be a less environmentally destructive answer to solving B.C.’s growing power needs.

“To me it’s like a dinosaur,” he said.In 1793, explorer Alexander

Mackenzie called the area the breadbasket of northern B.C.

The river is a major wildlife corri-dor and the area was an important area for First Nations people.

“They used to pick buffalo skulls like rocks and roots,” said Arlene, who has a private museum in the yard in a log house where many local artifacts are displayed.

Ken said politicians will make the final decision and thinks they need to stand on the banks of the river to see what will be lost if the dam is built.

“Looking at a piece of paper doesn’t have the same impact as standing here on this land and looking.”

“It would mean the end of the mar-ket garden,” said Steiner.

However, Conway points out that what land is capable of growing and what it actually grows are not the same. While some of the land has ideal soil and climate for growing cucumbers, due to its location, poor road access and other economic factors, only 1,500 of the 4,000 of arable land is actually under cultivation.

It’s not the first time residents on the Peace River have fought BC Hydro to prevent the building of the 1,110 megawatt hydroelectric dam just outside Fort St. John.

The Site C dam was first proposed as part of a series of dams on the Peace River in the 1950s. The first project, or Site A, called the W.A.C Bennett dam, was built in 1967.

A new CR Series Twin Rotor® combine cuts downtime as it maximizes daily crop throughput by up to 10%.

All-new Dynamic Stone Protection automatically directs stones into a dedicated trap, where they can be emptied just once a day so you can harvest without stopping. It also accelerates crop to improve throughput and doesn’t need additional power to operate. Take that extra productivity to the bank.

There’s no stopping the new CR combine with Dynamic Stone Protection. See one today.

THERE’S NO STOPPING A NEW CR COMBINE.OR YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

SUM M ARY OF SOLD PROPERTIES

We have recently completed a very successful sale of our farmland to Freshwater Land Holding Co. Ltd. From the first point of contact, and throughout the sale process Freshwater Land Holding Co. Ltd. was always in touch with us to make sure that all was going as discussed. Doug Rue (Freshwater Land Holding Co. Ltd.), has been very approachable and forthright from the beginning. There was never any pressure, nor unfair dealings during the process. The deal was handled very smoothly and efficiently. When an issue arose, Doug was always in contact to help work out the situation fairly for all parties. We certainly would recommend dealing with Freshwater Land Holding Co. Ltd. for any land discussions, and/or sale. Regina and Bill Kossatz

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed’s legacy on energy is well known, but his impact on agriculture is just as large.

Former agriculture minister Mar-vin Moore said Albertans can thank Lougheed and his team for hundreds of hopper cars, the Prince Rupert, B.C., grain terminal, agricultural lending, natural gas co-operatives, rural hospitals, provincial buildings and seniors lodges.

“There was a revitalization of rural Alberta in the first eight years of Lougheed’s legacy,” Moore said the day after Lougheed died Sept. 13 in the hospital named in his honour. He was 84.

When Lougheed led the Progressive Conservative government to victory in 1971, Dr. Hugh Horner, a former member of Parliament, was appoint-ed deputy premier and agriculture minister as an acknowledgment of the importance of agriculture.

“That was a huge thing to have the deputy premier also the minister of agriculture and be the most experi-enced guy, the number one guy in your cabinet,” said Moore, who was also elected in 1971.

Doug Horner, now Alberta finance minister and president of the Trea-sury Board, said Lougheed leaned on his father as the rural lieutenant

to bring forward their vision for rural Alberta.

“They did act in a very collaborative way, but to Mr. Lougheed’s credit, he understood the importance of where my dad wanted to take rural Alberta. My father couldn’t have done what he did if it hadn’t been for Peter Lougheed,” said Horner.

“He led the team that recognized that rural Alberta is where the eco-nomic activity happens and there-fore can’t ignore the needs of rural Alberta,” said Horner.

During Lougheed’s first term in office, the Alberta Opportunity Co. and the Agriculture Development Corp., now AFSC, were formed with the mandate to lend money in rural Alberta.

“Those were the first two big finan-cial institutions developed by Loug-heed that financed a whole raft of things in rural Alberta,” said Moore.

Farmers and rural Albertans are still benefiting from Lougheed’s vision during his time as premier from 1971 to 1985, he added.

Rural gas lines were trenched in to most farms, towns and villages with the help of provincial government money.

During the 1970s, Lougheed and his ministers pushed to build a grain terminal in Prince Rupert, as another option for Alberta grain.

At the same time, the province bought hundreds of grain hopper

cars to replace aging box cars and help boost grain exports.

The bright blue hopper cars, painted with the names of Alberta towns, can still be seen on tracks hauling grain.

“While Lougheed was from Cal-gary and he was a Calgary lawyer,

and his association was essentially with the city of Calgary and urban things, he had a tremendous num-ber of people from rural Alberta in his cabinet,” said Moore.

He said what’s often missed in dis-cussing Lougheed’s legacy is his social conscience. The Alberta Bill of Rights and the Alberta Rights Protec-tion Act, ensuring personal free-doms, were the first two pieces of legislation brought in after 1971.

He also brought in the Assured Income for Severely Handicapped income guarantee program and over-saw the development of hospitals and seniors’ lodges in rural Alberta.

“Senior citizens accommodations, which were mostly lacking in almost every community in rural Alberta, Lougheed pushed hard to get those

constructed and approved by cabi-net. There was a lot of legacy on the social conser vative side,” said Moore.

University of Alberta political sci-ence professor Roger Epp said there was an amazing amount of invest-ment in rural infrastructure during Lougheed’s time as premier.

“There was a realization that if this was going to be a resource based province and you were going to be extracting energy resource from under farmers’ land and transporting it under farmers’ land, they needed to also visibly share in the prosperity that followed and the quality of life that followed,” said Epp.

“The commitment to rural quality of life to put it on par with urban was a pretty important signal.”

A campaign has begun to move hay into drought-parched areas of East-ern Canada.

HayEast 2012 is looking for hay, transportation and cash to help pro-ducers in Ontario and Quebec.

Agricultural Producers Associa-tion of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall said he saw first-hand the dried-out hay stands and stunted corn crops during a recent trip to Ontario.

“You couldn’t have hid a dog in the corn I saw.”

Hall said eastern farmers organized Hay West 10 years ago, which saved a lot of herds from starvation.

Now it’s time to give back, he said.The logistics are still being planned

and involve staff from APAS, Wild

Rose Agricultural Producers, Ontar-io Federation of Agriculture, Que-bec Farmers Association, National Farmers Union-Ontario, Mennonite Disaster Services, Christian Farm-ers Federation of Ontario, 4-H Foun-dation of Alberta, Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association and the Saskatchewan and Alberta agricul-ture ministries.

OFA president Mark Wales told a roundtable at the federal-provincial-territorial agriculture ministers’ meeting in Whitehorse there is a pressing need that producers had stepped up to meet.

“Now we require the support of our federal and provincial govern-ments, the railways, corporate part-ners and other stakeholders to make this effort have a real impact on the ground and sustain our livestock herds through this winter,” he said in

a news release.Producers in Ontario have called

on Ottawa to trigger AgriRecovery funds to help transport prairie hay.

Hall said organizers still need to calculate who needs help and how much. As well, a database must be built.

Prairie producers with excess hay can either donate it to the campaign or sell it. Hall said he doesn’t expect sellers to lose money.

“They are willing to pay for the hay,” he said of the potential recipients. “The big deal is the transportation.”

He hopes the railways and truckers will step forward to help with logis-tics and cost.

Cash donations to help offset costs will also be accepted.

A website at www.hayeast2012.com has been set up for farmers who wish to register for hay or supply it.

“There’s no end to looking for and finding equipment to bring back home and fix up,” said Jack Grad.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency plans to close its district office in Moose Jaw, Sask., next spring and provide service from Regina.

However, Bill Jameson of JGL Live-stock in Moose Jaw said CFIA has told him a veterinarian will still work in the city to provide the services his company needs.

“We’re probably the largest export staging point in Saskatchewan as far as cattle go,” he said.

“We absolutely need a CFIA veteri-narian here. They have assured me that they’re going to keep an office here.”

Export papers for cattle require an original signature by a CFIA vet.

A statement from CFIA media rela-tions said the Moose Jaw office would close March 31 as the agency moved to consolidate services, improve efficiency in Saskatchewan and cut costs.

“Ser vices currently provided through the Moose Jaw district office which can reasonably be provided by the district CFIA office in Regina will be moved to that location,” said

Canada’s reputation as a world-leading swine genetics supplier will be strengthened by $900,000 in new federal government funding for more international promotion and advertising, the Canadian Swine Exporters Association says.

“Significant investments in our foreign markets help the Canadian Swine Exporters Association achieve our long-term marketing goals,” said executive director Rosemary Smart.

The federal money is part of an $88 AgriMarketing fund, which is part of the Growing Forward system.

Canadian swine semen and breed-ing animals are sold to producers in countries around the world, and Canada is generally seen within the swine breeding world as having among the best genetic stock and swine breeding methods. Canadian-derived breeding stock are seen as healthy, productive, easy to handle animals.

Ontario Conservative MP Dave McKenzie said the funding fits in with Growing Forward priorities.

“Our government’s top priority remains the economy, and Cana-da’s swine producers play a key role in creating jobs and prosperity for Canadian farm families,” said McKenzie.

“This investment will help our swine export industry showcase top-quality Canadian genetics around the world, helping them capture new markets and increase profits for our pork producers.”

the e-mail.“Services in the Moose Jaw area

that require the on-site presence of CFIA staff, such as the issuance of export certificates, will continue to be provided directly in the Moose Jaw area.”

The statement said CFIA would not make changes that would place the health and safety of Canadians at risk. CFIA did not say if other offices were closing or how much money the clo-sure would save.

Jameson planned to meet this week with CFIA and U.S. Department of

Agriculture officials in Ottawa to dis-cuss the potential of electronic certi-fication.

Pilot projects for electronic certifi-cation for export were supposed to be operating by next year, but Jameson said he thought it would be later than that.

The flow of cattle through Moose Jaw for export depends on market circumstances. Traffic is slow right now.

“When market conditions are right, there could be as many as 30, 40 trucks a day,” he said.

Matt Grant of Trimble said mak-ing it portable and reducing the unit price to $500 means that a lot of producers and agronomists can make use of a technology that used to cost considerably more.

“The Greenseeker is a really rug-ged technology, so putting that into a handheld device can give a farmer something he can carry that aids in that decision making on the go,” Grant said.

NDVI is a measure of plant health. The greater the amount of

chlorophyll in the leaves, the more sunlight in the red region of the light spectrum will be absorbed.

As well, a plant’s leaf cell struc-ture, the spongy mesophyll , reflects near infrared light. The healthier the plant, the more red light it absorbs and near infra red it reflects.

The higher the NDVI numbers, the healthier the plant. The Green-seeker measures these light quan-tities and provides a NDVI reading using a formula.

The portable tool can read the crop canopy at a single point, but for greater accuracy the trigger can be held and the user can walk with the tool to obtain a cumulative reading of an area.

Grant said the unit works best 24 to 48 inches from the ground or crop.

“It has a spot where you can attach a plumb bob to keep you a consistent height,” he said.

The unit reads an area 10 inches wide at 24 inches from the ground and 20 inches wide at 48 inches from the ground.

Larger areas and longer scans that are created by walking with the machines create more accu-rate readings because more plants are measured.

“There will be a lot of different strategies for their use. Farmers are pretty creative about how they use stuff. And this is a reference tool,” said Grant.

One application might be to have

a high nitrogen reference strip in a field where plants will have access to more than sufficient amounts of the nutrient. The rest of the field receives a standard amount of nitrogen.

As the crop develops, the pro-ducer can measure the difference between the high nitrogen strip and the rest of the field.

He can then use Trimble’s refer-ence algorithm charts to deter-mine whether additional applica-tions of fertilizer will improve the crop’s yield and by approximately how much based on a targeted yield.

It doesn’t record or geo-refer-ence its readings, so a notebook, smart phone or handheld com-puter is still going to be necessary to record the readings.

Grant said his company will soon release a new version of its free smart phone software that will allow input of the data. That can be used on its own or sent wirelessly to the Trimble’s Formworks desk-top agronomy management soft-ware.

The company provides charts and calculations for most crops, including the usual spring and winter wheat, barley, canola, triti-cale and dryland and irrigated corn.

Powered by a replaceable cell-phone-type battery, the unit will run for two days on a full charge and is charged through a mini-USB cable.

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Green-seeker’s machinery-mounted crop analysis system has been released in a handheld version.

The new tool puts normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) referencing in the palm of a producer’s or agronomist’s hand.

Portable meters have been available to measure plant vigour, vegetative cover and chlorophyll levels by recording the amount of near infrared light and red light that they reflect and absorb, but due to price and durability issues they haven’t been widely used in field crop production.

For more than a decade, Trim-ble’s Green-seeker was strictly a hardwired tool, typically mount-ed on sprayers or fertilizer spread-ers.

Those units trigger herbicide applications by sensing weeds or fertilizer when the need for addi-tional nitrogen to maximize yield is found.

The tools don’t specifically tell a producer what to do about a crop that might be missing its mid-season yield potential, but they do provide a way to measure unfulfilled potential and point to either shortages of nutrients or pest issues that are interfering with growth.

Barry Raymer of the Farm Office in Tavistock, Ont., got his hands on one of the first handheld units in Canada last week.

“Mostly they are an educational tool,” the crop consultant and Trimble dealer said while attend-ing Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Guelph.

“Farmers who do their own crop scouting and want a portable ref-erence tool should find them use-ful. For producers who have staff or family that are tasked with scouting, it is a way of coming back with some numbers that indicate there is a need to do some further investigation if there are issues.”

Agronomy consultant Greg Kitchen of Premier Equipment in Elmira, Ont., said he sees the portable tool as way to put an empirical measurement to what his eye “might or might not detect.”

“It should give you a pretty good idea of what the crop needs before it really suffers or gets to a point where you can’t do anything about it,” he said.

“But it’s a scouting tool that you need to develop some practices around. I’m looking forward to having one in the truck.”

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — With today’s new combines, farmers who want their yield monitoring systems to export data simply need to attach the portable memory and hit the button.

But few of them are hitting the button.Some say the data isn’t as good as it should

be because the machinery operator can’t be relied on to take a full cut with the header or the machine lag times between threshing and location can vary too much.

In fact, it likely has more to do with farmers not knowing what to do with all the informa-tion, according to researchers and precision agriculture professionals.

Data quickly piles up on the farm. Spraying as-applied maps, seeding and fertilizing records, soil testing locations and weed and disease patches all contribute to an “out of-memory” warning or a full hard drive back at the farm office, says John Fulton of Auburn University in Alabama.

The professor and researcher said the yield component is a critical element for building a data set that can manage agronomy strategies on the farm.

He said farmers need those results, geo-ref-erenced to the field, to complete their yield picture.

“It might not be perfect data, but it is a good starting point and it will get better as collection and monitoring improves,” he said in an inter-view during the recent International Precision Agriculture Conference in Indianapolis.

Raj Kholsa of the University of Colorado’s soil and crop science department said pro-ducers have been quick to make use of guid-ance systems.

Adoption of variable rate systems is begin-ning to grow, but farmers must find a way to collect site specific results if they are going to take full advantage of the technology when it comes to ensuring profitability.

“There are some savings in ensuring that the right amount of fertilizer or (pesticide) is being applied in places that can’t take advantage of it,” Kholsa said.

“We all know there is additional income to be found in putting those investments into areas that can.”

He said using an educated estimation is part of building good field maps because produc-ers’ knowledge of their land is a critical com-ponent of the process.

“But yield data, more than what came off the field in total, is necessary to being able to make management decisions … especially at a larg-er scale where farms have grown extensively.”

Economist Terry Griffin of the University of Arkansas said producers’ financial rewards can be best calculated on a site specific basis rather than on whole fields.

He said the pathway to paying for precision tools is paved with data such as yield infor-mation.

“You can make some use of the tools without it, but you make the best decisions when you know what happened,” he said.

“Then you can learn from what is actually going on on your own farm.”

STORIES BY KAREN BRIEREREGINA BUREAU

BOTTINEAU, N.D. — Anne Ehni is leading a major renovation project in North Dakota from a tractor.

The manager of the Wells County Soil Conservation District told a recent Canada-U.S. windbreak con-ference that there are 88,500 kilo-metres of field windbreaks in the state and 64,000 km of them need renovation.

The decline of established farm-stead and field windbreaks has been

identified as one of the most signifi-cant natural resource issues facing rural North Dakota, she said.

Trees planted decades ago through-out the North American Great Plains, particularly after the dust bowl of the 1930s, are aging and falling to disease and pests.

“Our elms are really taking a beat-ing,” she said.

Some farmers believe trees no lon-ger play a significant role in reducing soil erosion and are ripping out old windbreaks to plant more crop, but others say there is still a need for trees.

“Many more are getting pushed out than we’re replanting,” Ehni said.

Wells County has implemented a $500,000 six-year cost-share pro-gram through the Co-operative Con-servation Partnership Initiative. The funds have depleted quickly in the first three years of the program because participation has been strong.

There were 108 farm visits, 81 appli-cations and 62 contracts for renova-tion work between August 2009 and May 2012

More kilometres of trees were planted in 2010 and 2011 than in the 14 previous years in total, Ehni said.

“There are more lined up for this year and next than ever,” she said.

Ehni contacted landowners by sending out postcards containing information about the program.

The crew uses a tractor and tree planter with a coulter to dig a fur-row. Two people sitting backward on the planter take seedlings from barrels mounted on the back of the planter and place them in the fur-row, spacing them according to the species.

The driver then drives the tractor along the edges of the furrow to smooth them and another pass is made with weed barrier fabric.

One person sitting on the machine cuts the fabric as it passes over each seedling. Two others walk along the edge of the fabric and secure it to the ground with large staples while another does the same around the seedling.

Tree shelters may be placed around the seedlings, allowing them to grow without damage from deer or wind.

Ehni said they prefer to use woven weed barrier fabric rather than plas-tic because it doesn’t stretch out of shape.

Perforated plastic allows water through but also allows weeds to grow, even when herbicide has been sprayed before planting.

Weeds will grow from the top down on the fabric but can be cleaned off.

Producers are responsible to water the trees.

“Water infiltration is not as high as I’d like it to be,” she said of the fabric, but weed suppression is critical.

Producers must remove the fabric about five years after planting so that it doesn’t girdle the growing trees.

The conservation district receives no money from the cost-share pro-gram. It all goes to producers, which Ehni said is key to the program’s suc-cess.

Ehni said today’s windbreaks are “not your grandparents’ shelter belts.”

The 10 to 15 rows of trees planted generations ago might not be neces-sary. Three rows may be enough, depending on the purpose of the windbreak.

That’s why renovation doesn’t always mean planting new trees.

Rows could be removed, especially where they were planted too close together or the wrong species was used.

Individual trees can be removed to thin rows, and deciduous trees and shrubs that will sprout from the stump can be coppiced, or pruned, to allow regrowth.

A crew from the Wells County Soil Conservation District in North Dakota demonstrates how woven fabric is placed over seedlings and stapled to the ground to prevent it from moving. The fabric keeps weeds from taking over. | KAREN BRIERE PHOTO

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 75PRODUCTION

INTERNATIONAL PEACE GARDEN, Manitoba-North Dakota border — Aging shelter belts and windbreaks are common across the Prairies and the U.S. Plains.

However, age is only one reason why some of them are no longer in good condition, and removing them isn’t the only solution.

Steve Rasmussen, forester with the Nebraska Forest Service, said some-times the original design of the wind-break wasn’t right.

Often, proper maintenance would have kept the trees healthy and doing their jobs.

Foresters have identified eight attri-butes to determine what a shelter belt requires. The shelter belt could be considered in good condition if at

least seven are positive, while five or six indicators would be fair and four or fewer would be poor.• There should be no more than 25

percent dead trees.“ That’s somewhat arbitrar y,”

Rasmussen said. “For a single row windbreak, it’s probably going to be a bad thing.”• Do the trees still form a continuous

barrier or are there gaps?Rasmussen said this assessment

depends on its function. “If it’s a field windbreak, we don’t

want to have those gaps in there because your wind blowing through is going to defeat the purpose,” he said.

This assessment is critical for shel-ter belts around farmsteads.

• Density of the windbreak should be examined from a distance and in the season for which the windbreak was designed. For example, if it is supposed to be catching snow, examine it in winter.

Field windbreaks could be a differ-ent density than a wildlife buffer or a riparian buffer. • He advises removing sod-forming

grasses around the belt.“Smooth brome is really a tough

competitor, especially when young trees are growing,” he said. “It’s also a monoculture.”• The health of tree crowns should

be assessed. No more than 25 per-cent should show insect or disease problems.

• The presence of livestock and their

effect on trees is another consider-ation. Little to no livestock activity around the windbreak is prefera-ble from the trees’ point of view.

“Livestock can do a lot of damage,” he said.

Cattle rubbing and chewing on trees and compacting soil around them affect the health of the stand.• Tree regeneration is important,

particularly if renovation is likely to occur. New volunteer trees will mean fewer have to be planted.

“You’re going to be able to sustain that windbreak with those new trees.”• Could the trees live another 20

years?Other indicators could be aesthet-

ics, lack of diversity and original row spacing that is too close.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE GARDEN, Manitoba-North Dakota border — Planting trees to establish or rejuve-nate a windbreak isn’t the back-breaking work it once was.

The hardest part just might be con-vincing farmers they need to do it.

Shelter belts are still an important part of conservation agriculture, said experts at a recent Canada-U.S. windbreak conference.

Advances in minimum tillage tech-nology have helped prevent soil ero-sion, which is a job that shelter belts once held, but trees play other sig-nificant roles. They act as filters for air pollution and wetlands, provide homes to crop pollinators and pro-vide protection from the wind. They can also provide a second income.

High crop prices have increased the temptation to rip out trees in favour of growing more bushels.

John Kort, senior agroforestry researcher at the federal Agroforestry Development Centre in Indian Head, Sask., said shelter belts that were grown in the 1930s and 1940s are old and need to be renovated.

However, ripping them out com-pletely isn’t always the way to go.

Canada and the United States had programs during settlement and after the dust bowl of the 1930s to help farmers plant millions of trees covering thousands of kilometres to prevent soil from blowing away.

Bruce Wight, national forester with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said these trees have survived stress-ors such as 2,4-D and insects and are still doing their jobs.

Changes in field size and equip-ment and changes in attitude are the main reasons why windbreaks are removed or new ones aren’t planted.

Farmers can’t easily manoeuvre around shelter belts with today’s large machinery, but Wight thinks many still see their value.

“I think many landowners still think they have a role to play,” he said. “The past may come back.”

The 2012 drought affecting a large part of the U.S. could change some perspectives on the need for shelter belts.

“Dust storms are still happening,” Wight said at the end of July. “Fifty-three percent of the U.S. is in moder-ate drought or worse.”

Although the experts know that tree planting has been on a downward trend in both countries for a while, they don’t know exactly how many trees are still on the landscape as field shelter belts, farmyard windbreaks or buffers around water bodies.

In the U.S., both state and federal forest services are using technology such as aerial imagery, satellite sens-ing and mapping techniques to quantify trees outside of forests.

Cost-share programs are in place to encourage more planting, but it can be an uphill battle.

Richard Warkentin of the Stanley Soil Management Association in Manitoba said education is a big fac-tor. Landowners and farmers often don’t know which species are best suited for the shelter belt or they think its no longer necessary.

“No-till alone can’t do it all,” he said.

BIG IMPLEMENTS DOMINATE BIG IRON 2012

It was impossible to get a photo of the Autonomous Tractor at Big Iron because it was always surrounded by crowds.

Named the Spirit, the machine is similar in concept to a rail locomotive, driven by four electric motors, with one in each drive hub.

Electricity comes from a generator located mid-ship. The generator is powered by a pair of 200 horsepower diesel engines. Either diesel can spin the generator, or both can kick in when extra power is needed. Because electricity is more efficient than mechanical or hydraulic power, early tests show that the Spirit can do the work of a 450 h.p. diesel tractor.

The inventor calls it the Autonomous Tractor because there is no operator. All control comes from a conventional master tractor working in the same field at the same time. Shown here before the show, this first production model is expected to sell for less than $200,000. | ANN ANDERSON PHOTO

Two more contenders have entered the race for Saskatchewan’s NDP leadership.

Ryan Meili, a Saskatoon doctor who finished second to Dwain Lingenfel-ter in the 2009 contest, and Trent Wotherspoon, MLA for Regina Rose-mont, both announced their candi-dacy Sept. 14.

There are now four candidates, all men, running for the job of leader of Saskatchewan’s opposition.

Regina economist Erin Weir and MLA Cam Broten had previously announced their candidacies.

The leadership convention is set for March 9 in Saskatoon.

Meili, who was raised on a farm near Courval, Sask., told supporters in Saskatoon that his patients are the reason he is seeking the leadership.

“Too often, the illnesses I treat are the symptoms of poverty, of short-sighted policy decisions, of failing to invest in this province’s greatest resource, its people,” he said.

Wotherspoon, a teacher before he entered politics, highlighted his fam-ily’s rural roots and said he has heard concerns about affordable housing, health care and putting people first.

“People want an entrepreneurial province where we capture the gen-erational opportunity our resources provide for the sake of the people who own and develop them, and not for the sake of growth alone,” he said.

When George Katselis moves into his new laboratory at the end of the year, he’ll be looking for tiny mole-cules that could have big implica-tions for the health of farmers and agricultural workers.

The Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture’s National Agricultural-Industrial Hygiene Laboratory will be housed within a new expansion at the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medi-cine, and Katselis will be leading its mass spectrometry research pro-gram.

“Think of mass spectrometry as a detection method,” said Katselis.

He’ll be using the tool to get a closer look at molecules and proteins, look-ing for tiny biomarkers that will help researchers understand how expo-sure to substances such as pesticides and dust can contribute to illnesses, including cancer.

“This will help us for the develop-ment of vaccines and so on,” he said.

In this role, which is a first for the university, Katselis will be able to collaborate with researchers in other departments and organiza-tions on campus, including the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization.

“With the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, there is potential. We can use mass spectrometry to identify lipids in various plants,” he said.

“It definitely can be used in plant and animal sciences. You can identi-fy components of the food, for exam-ple.”

Across campus, the agriculture college is looking to fill a position in nutritional genomics, a first for the food and bioproduct sciences de-partment.

A new researcher in that position will examine the link between the food people eat, the nutrition they receive and their genetics.

“For our own department, it’s sort of a link between food production and food processing to individuals and individual health,” said Phyllis Shand, food and bioproduct sciences department head.

It’s hoped this research will help increase understanding of the role functional food and food compo-nents play in health and identify ways to improve those characteristics.

Collaboration with other college researchers could take several forms, including potential work to develop crops that contain increased levels of nutr ients targeted to improve health and disease preven-tion or improve high-efficiency ani-mal feeds.

Collaborations are also possible with Agriculture Canada officials and U of S researchers in animal and poultry sciences and the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

An ad promoting the position says, “work in this area should lead to the

development of new foods for opti-mum health and longevity and new opportunities for Canada’s agri-food sector.”

As a Tier II Canada Research Chair, the position will be funded with annual federal contributions of $100,000 for five years.

“It could relate to understanding better people with diabetes and the links to what foods that are available now that could improve their nutri-tion and health, but also it could relate to developing new foods or foods components that would add to someone’s health,” Shand said.

WAITING FOR THE BIG MOMENT


An egg processing plant that will produce a variety of egg products, primarily liquid eggs, is expected to open in Lethbridge in November.

Joe Kleinsasser, a Lethbridge area egg producer and vice-chair of Egg Farmers of Alberta, said Egg Process-ing Inc. (EPIC) is a farmer-owned co-operative with 135 shareholders from across the province. All are cur-rent table egg quota holders and most are Hutterite colonies.

The new plant, being developed in part of the former Alpha dairy facility in Lethbridge, will market at least five products initially and possibly more later if all goes according to plan.

Products will include liquid eggs, boiled and peeled eggs, dried egg shell, membrane and free-range liq-uid egg products.

“The idea is to have an Alberta brand,” said Kleinsasser.

He said demand is growing for egg products from free-range chickens. Greater supply is needed so that will be one market the plant will tap.

“In the start-up stages, we might have to source eggs from out of prov-ince, possibly Saskatchewan, but the intent is to have enough free run barns in Alberta so we can have an Alberta-made product,” he said.

“It’s a niche market and it seems like it’s a growing market.”

EPIC chief executive officer Bruce Forbes said the immediate goal is to get the egg-breaking line operating in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency approved plant.

The plant will draw non-table eggs from current graders. Those eggs are now shipped to plants in British Columbia and Manitoba for further processing into products used in bakeries and restaurants.

Forbes said there will be little waste in the plant.

“Nothing of the egg will be unused. We will be processing the entire product.”

Shells that would ordinarily go to landfills will be dried, powdered and shipped to customers for use in paints, glucosamine and other products. Membrane will go to a U.S. customer for use in collagen and other products.

Besides money from shareholders, EPIC received grant funds from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency.

“The business plan has been well received,” said Forbes.

The plant will employ 13 people in its first year, which may grow to 22 once the plant is fully operational.

Kleinsasser said Alberta egg pro-ducers have wanted a plant in the province for more than 10 years. An initiative in Airdrie, Alta., several years ago, aimed at the pharmaceuti-cal industry, went bankrupt.

“This time it seems like we’ve got the horse in front of the cart.”

Equipment is still being installed, and personnel are working with the CFIA on food safety requirements.

Everybody dies, but not everybody dies with dignity.

As well, not enough people plan for death or think about how they would like the end of their life to be handled if there are choices to be made.

Given those facts, a palliative care doctor, a lawyer and a Dying With Dignity advocate discussed death and dying Sept. 11 at a session spon-sored by the Southern Alberta Coun-cil of Public Affairs.

Medically assisted death has made recent headlines through a B.C. Supreme Court ruling involving Glo-ria Taylor, a woman with ALS, who sought the legal right to a doctor-assisted death.

The court ruled in June that laws against doctor-assisted suicide were unconstitutional, but suspended the ruling for one year so Parliament can take any steps it sees fit. In the mean-time, Taylor can seek a doctor-assist-ed death if she chooses.

The ruling is now under appeal.John Warren, vice-president of

Dying With Dignity, said a July Angus Reid survey indicated 80 percent of Canadian respondents supported medically assisted death.

“There are seven places in the world where medically assisted dying is legal, so why not us,” he said.

Oregon and Washington state both have legislation allowing it, as does the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxem-

bourg and Switzerland. Montana had a law that was struck down, putting it in legal limbo but keeping it on the list of places where doctor-assisted death is possible without prosecution.

In all places except Switzerland, people must be residents and meet certain criteria before the option is allowed. Specific criteria are also required in Switzerland, but people from other countries can legally access assisted suicide there, Warren said.

Lethbridge lawyer Berga Moen said Canada has several criminal code sections that deal with suicide and assisted death, among them Section 241 that says anyone who counsels a person to commit suicide or other-wise aids and abets them in that pur-suit is guilty of an indictable offence.

“ Th e re i s n o l e g i s l at i o n t hat expressly permits suicide in this country,” said Moen.

However, neither is there a law that makes it illegal.

Moen said the B.C. Supreme Court ruling will go to appeal in March.

“There are a lot of things at play here from a legal point of view. The final hammer lies with the federal government.”

Warren said Dying With Dignity is encouraged by three recent Canadi-an reports that support the need to change Canadian laws on end-of-life decisions.

The Royal Society of Canada issued a report in November supporting doctor-assisted dying and in March,

Quebec’s national assembly recom-mended changes with respect to pal-liative care, personal directives and doctor-assisted death.

The B.C. court decision is the third report that Warren said encourages legislative change.

The session did not include speak-ers who object to doctor-assisted suicide. Warren said the main objec-tions come from people whose reli-gions embrace the sanctity of life.

“Does the sanctity of life argument hold true in a secular society?” War-ren said.

As well, he often hears the slippery slope argument, which suggests soci-ety will be unable to draw a line between acceptable and unaccept-able killings, leading to cases of invol-untary euthanasia and potential ter-mination of society’s most vulnera-ble members.

Warren countered by referring to Oregon’s 1994 legislation, which has been unsuccessfully challenged and through which 50 percent of requests for doctor-assisted death meet the

required criteria.Palliative care specialist Dr. Brenda

Ireland described the role of her spe-cialty as providing patients with relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, but neither hastening nor postponing death.

She said many people don’t plan for how they would like to be cared for medically in the event that they can’t communicate for themselves.

Even when they do, such directives are not as effective as once hoped because they may not address the specific circumstances of a patient’s condition or are too vague to provide clear guidance.

As well, a patient’s feelings about treatment may change as their illness advances.

The picture, old and a bit worse for wear, was lying on a pile of refuse destined to leave the University of Regina’s biology department when it caught the eye of department head Mark Brigham.

He picked it up for a closer look.A plaque on the picture’s frame

identified the young man in military uniform as major Alfred Frank Man-tle, killed in action in France Sept. 26, 1916. Brigham didn’t recognize the name, although a colleague who had taught at the university in the 1960s would later remember seeing the portrait in the building.

Brigham couldn’t let the picture be discarded.

“I knew it would mean something to someone, somewhere.”

And so began, in Regina in the win-ter of 2010, a journey with many twists and turns that would culminate more than two years later in Mississauga Ont., when Brigham presented the picture to Mantle’s 76-year-old grand-son, Alfred Frank MacTaggart.

Through his own detective work and that of others, Brigham learned that Mantle was born in England on Feb. 5, 1882, to parents George and Sophia Mantle. His father died when Frank was six and he was edu-

cated at Watford Orphanage. After finishing school he worked in

an office and then immigrated to Winnipeg in 1898, at the age of 16. He farmed in Manitoba’s Belmont dis-trict and was the agricultural corre-spondent for several newspapers. He married Ethel R. Speer in 1904 and had two sons, Donovan and Edward Frank, and a daughter, Edith.

In 1908 he became the agricultural editor for the Manitoba Free Press, and in 1909 he moved to Saskatche-wan to assume the position of secre-tary of statistics. In 1910, he was appointed deputy agriculture minis-ter under W.R. Motherwell.

Mantle enlisted in the infantry in August 1915, and although he attained the rank of major, he request-ed a reduction to captain so he could be posted to the front lines. Thirteen months after enlisting he was killed in action.

At the time of his death, Mantle was praised for his work with and for the emerging agricultural community.

He saw the fledgling agriculture department expand from six to 10 branches, including a bacteriology lab and the co-operatives branch. He was secretary of the Grain Markets Commission, honorary secretary for the Agricultural Credits Commis-sion, chair of the Stallion Licensing Board and director of the Winter Fair

Board and Summer Fair Board. Brigham also learned that both of

Mantle’s sons served in the Second World War, and that lieutenant Edward Frank Mantle was killed in France a few days after D-Day.

John Hickie, a 27-year employee with the provincial agriculture department, is an admirer of major Mantle.

“He certainly seemed to have a tre-mendously heavy workload,” Hickie said. “Because it was the formative years of the department of agricul-ture, there were a lot of new things that had to be organized and created. I think he had a pretty major role in

the department and the agricultural development of the province.”

In the early 1980s, Hickie adminis-tered the Mantle Memorial Scholar-ship fund for farm students who wanted to study agriculture. About 100 students were awarded amounts from $50 to $300. When the fund was closed out after more than 60 years, Hickie felt something more should be done to honour Mantle.

He installed a plaque inscribed with Mantle’s achievements in a gov-ernment boardroom and has lobbied to have him included in the provin-cial Agricultural Hall of Fame

Brigham was eventually able to

find a relative, the son of Mantle’s daughter, Edith, living in Mississau-ga, and on June 17, 2012, Father’s Day, he delivered the picture to him.

MacTaggart has no recollection of his grandfather. His mother was about five when he died. However, he, his son and his grandsons were pleased to have this remembrance of their ancestor.

It was the happy ending that Brigham had envisioned. The picture will have a place of honour in the office of Trevor, MacTaggart’s son.

“It was very gratifying to put the picture in the hands of major Man-tle’s grandson,” Brigham said.

QUIET WATCHERS

Highland cattle strategize from a position in protective cover near Lloydminster. Canadian cattle organizations say they are working on a strategy that will better position them in the global meat marketplace and have been working on it since long before a report from the Canadian Agriculture Policy Institute pointed out a potential over-reliance on the U.S. market. | ROBYN WHEAT PHOTO


A recent report suggesting Cana-da’s beef industry is missing oppor-tunities and lacks a clear strategy has drawn muted reaction from those in the cattle sector.

The Canadian Agricultural Policy Institute, an Ottawa-based research think-tank, issued a report Sept. 10 pointing out Canada’s reliance on the United States as a market for its cattle and suggesting there are other opportunities elsewhere.

Rob Meijer, chief executive officer of Canada Beef, said Sept. 17 that he wel-comed the report and expected it to be discussed at the organization’s annual meeting Sept. 20-21 in Calgary.

“On one hand, I say thank you to CAPI for the information and the report. I think it’s going to be very important for the beef value chain round table to have further dialogue on it,” he said.

On the other hand, he noted work on a strategy is ongoing, and “it’s tough for these reports to really get down into the weeds.”

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association executive vice-president Dennis Laycraft also acknowledged value in the report, adding that the beef value chain round table, which brings all sec-tors of the industry together, will be instrumental in creating the plan that the CAPI report suggested was lacking.

Laycraft said Canada does the bulk of its trade with the U.S., and for obvi-ous reasons.

“It’s the world’s largest beef market, and they’re the world’s largest beef importer,” said Laycraft.

Canada is well positioned to supply U.S. needs quickly and efficiently.

Meijer said it’s also a question of who’s willing to pay — and the U.S. is.

“They are a trading partner, just like any other country is a potential trad-ing partner, and those countries that are able to show us the greatest value will receive our product, our quality, valuable premium product.

“It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be looking at a partner like the U.S. and challenging the relationship that we have. I think that’s a healthy debate to have. But until it comes a time when they’re not paying what we see as value for our products, they should remain one of our better trad-ing partners.”

In its report, CAPI said the value of Canadian beef exports to other coun-tries could attract higher premiums than the value of exports to the U.S. As well, it said the beef trade deficit with the Americans is declining, rais-ing the possibility that Canada will not be able to meet future export or domestic needs.

The United States has asked for 15 months to bring its country of origin labelling laws into compliance with World Trade Organization rules, but Canada does not like the timeline.

The WTO’s dispute settlement body in July ruled in favour of Canada and Mexico on a U.S. appeal of an earlier ruling that its COOL legislation con-travened international trade rules.

On Aug. 21, the U.S. said it intends to comply with the ruling but asked for 15 months in which to do it. That would mean a delay in changes until October 2014.

Canada and Mexico object to the proposed timeline and have sought arbitration from the WTO.

“That’s being examined and we’ll get

a ruling on that shortly, out of Geneva,” said Canadian Cattlemen’s Associa-tion executive vice-president Dennis Laycraft in a Sept. 17 interview.

A ruling on “a reasonable period of time” for compliance is expected on the matter no later than Oct. 21.

COOL, implemented in March 2009, required beef, pork and other meats sold in the U.S. to be labelled according to their countries of origin.

The resulting need to keep Cana-dian animals separate from Ameri-can ones at packing plants resulted in drastically reduced exports of Cana-dian cattle, costing the industry mil-lions of dollars.

A challenge of COOL to the WTO was decided in Canada’s favour.

Laycraft said the CCA continues to believe U.S. legislation should be amended to recognize the point of

“substantial transformation” as the origin point, so Canadian animals slaughtered in the U.S. would not need separate labelling.

Changes to COOL legislation could be delayed by the U.S. presidential election campaign and by complica-tions involving the current U.S. farm bill, which expires Sept. 30.

In a news release, the CCA specu-lated that at the end of this month, one of three things will happen: a new five-year farm bill will be passed; the existing one will expire, which will mean the U.S. will revert to 1949 farm policy; or there will be a short-term extension to the current bill until after the election.

“If the third option involving pas-sage of a short-term extension occurs, then the WTO arbitrator will have knowledge of the date by which

the U.S. must pass farm policy legis-lation and should take that into account in setting an RPT (reason-able period of time), said the CCA in a COOL update.

“Ultimately, we believe that the U.S. Congress will take care of U.S. farm-ers and pass a new farm bill in the not too distant future.”

In the meantime, the U.S. based protectionist group Ranchers-Cat-tlemen Action Legal Fund (RCALF) has filed a complaint in a U.S. district court against the WTO ruling.

It wants CO OL to remain, be enforced by government and is against any amendment to it.

Laycraft said if successful, RCALF would put the U.S. at risk of non-com-pliance with the WTO ruling, opening the door for Canada and Mexico to implement retaliatory tariffs.

Development of a new code of practice for beef cattle has seen some hiccups but is expected to be ready for a two-month public comment period in November.

“It’s coming along quite well,” said Jackie Wepruk, general manager of the National Farm Animal Care Council, which is managing devel-opment of new codes for eight types of livestock, including beef cattle.

“It is running just a little bit behind. There are a couple of issues they are still trying to work out and achieve consensus on.”

Committee members are debating appropriate wording, particularly for practices that cause pain to cattle, such as dehorning, branding and castration, she said.

“You want to make sure that you’re developing requirements and or

recommended practices that are practical, address societal expecta-tions for animal care but really are something doable by producers because if it’s not practical and pro-ducers can’t do it, there’s not much point in laying out a rule they can’t follow.”

The public comment period might be extended if it overlaps Christmas, Wepruk added.

Committee members will take pub-lic comments into consideration to develop the final code, which is scheduled for release in April.

The beef cattle code of practice was last updated in 1991.

Committee members include pro-ducers, veterinarians, researchers and representatives from processors, food retail, transport, animal welfare and government.

STORIES BY BARB GLENLETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Geoff Urton has an egregious ex-ample of why Canada needs a new equine code of practice.

The animal welfare manager for the British Columbia SPCA recalls a Van-couver Island case in which a man attempted to kill a horse by hanging it by the neck from a front-end loader.

“No self respecting farmer who had a demonstrated level of care toward their animals would ever think of doing something like that,” said Urton.

“This was a really irresponsible act by somebody who was clearly not capable of providing adequate care to an animal.”

Charges were laid but surprisingly, there was no clear direction in the 1998 code of practice that indicated hanging was an unacceptable way to euthanize a horse.

The man was prosecuted for other animal care violations but the case illustrated the need for a code that clearly outlined acceptable euthana-sia methods as well as other aspects of equine care and responsibility.

The equine code of practice is one of eight being developed for various animal and livestock species. Urton manages the people on each commit-tee who represent the Canadian Fed-eration of Humane Societies.

“By the time this code is complete, it will be 15 years since the last one, so it’s certainly time for a new code,” he said.

The National Farm Animal Care Council manages the development process for all the codes.

Jackie Wepruk, general manager of the NFACC, said the schedule for the equine code is on track and expected to be ready for a two-month public

New equine code of practice to be more explicit

support criminal charges.One priority Urton has for the new

codes relates to animal illness.“I think the most important re-

quirement that will make its way into these new codes of practice, into all of them, especially for horses, is a requirement for sick and injured animals to be treated.”

He said SPCA officers often see cases where lingering animal health problems have not been addressed,

causing additional suffering. All the codes will include a require-

ment to treat or to humanely eutha-nize, Urton said.

The equine code development has been underway since January 2011. Committee members have issued three surveys on various aspects of the code, the most recent involving health management and tail altera-tions.

Such a long process tends to attract

committee members who are com-mitted to improving conditions for animals, said Urton.

“They’re really top notch people and they’re professionals. And they themselves sometimes, I think, can’t actually imagine someone doing some of the kinds of things that our officers see in animal cruelty com-plaints because they’d never let it happen on their farms. The unimagi-nable unfortunately does happen.”

The draft of the new equine code of practice is scheduled for public comment in November and to come into effect in May 2013. | SHARLENE BENNIE PHOTO

to the committee, which will make any needed adjustments. The code will then be finalized and released in May.

Urton said the new code will be more explicit than the existing one and will include minimum standards for animal care plus additional rec-ommendations.

Some provinces reference the codes of practice in legislation and others do not, said Wepruk, but “even in provinces where they are not refer-enced, they can be used as guidelines in terms of what’s acceptable and what’s not.”

Urton said obtaining voluntary compliance is the first aim in cases of SPCA intervention in suspected ani-mal cruelty cases.

Failing that, the code indicates standard practices and minimum standards that have been agreed upon by experts from the livestock industry, veterinary profession, sci-entific community, government and humane societies.

The increasing interest in ani-mal welfare means any prod-ucts that can relieve pain, de-

crease inflammation and reduce fever are welcome additions to the tools available to veterinarians to treat clinical disease.

They also may have a place in con-trolling post surgical pain or inflam-mation that might occur with castra-tion or dehorning.

Better control of pain, inflamma-tion and fever reduces stress and maintains appetite. It also helps calves recover more quickly and means they are less likely to contract conditions such as the respiratory disease complex.

All non steroidal anti-inflammato-ry drugs are prescription medica-tions so they must be prescribed by a veterinarian, who may incorporate them into treatment protocols to treat specific diseases on your farm.

There are three main groups of NSAIDS:• Flunixine: Banamine was the origi-

nal and now there are many gener-ic trade names for the same thing.

• Ketoprofen: It is similar to human ibuprofen and has the trade name Anafen.

• Meloxicam: This product, which is sold under the trade name Meta-cam, has a huge market for treat-ing small animal arthritis and is the most recent product to be approved in large animals.

Each of these products may be used for different reasons based on the veterinarian’s preference.

Metacam can be given either intra-venously or subcutaneously and is effective for two to three days in cat-tle, which may have an advantage depending on when the patient has to be retreated.

The company that makes Bana-mine has combined it with the anti-biotic floramphenical in the same product, calling it Resflor.

It did some research on this prod-uct and found good recoveries with less scarred lungs in pneumonia cases. This was a result of decreasing the inflammation in the lungs. Quicker recovery meant the antibi-otic could work better so death loss and percentage of chronics was reduced.

Banamine by itself is approved only for intravenous use, but it can be giv-en subcutaneously when used in Resflor.

Banamine lasts longer than one day and the antibiotic levels carry on for four days. It shows that one good shot of an anti-inflammatory helps eco-nomically. As well, there is often no

ANIMAL WELFARE | PAIN KILLERS

Pain relievers speed recovery from scours, dehorninggeneral. As a result, the treated calves put more energy into getting better and recovered quicker.

One must make sure the patients are properly hydrated and have good urine flow because kidneys may be harmed in deydrated calves.

Boehringer Ingelheim also looked at the pain response from hot iron dehorning in young calves.

While the use of polled bulls in beef breeds is making dehorning less nec-essary, dairy breeds are pretty much straight horned.

Dehorning is still routine in young dairy calves and some strains of beef breeds, such as full French Charolais and Fleckvieh Simmental.

The study used readers that record pressure to elicit a pain response. The pressure pushing down around the dehorning site was recorded and the response was elicited with calves struggling or pulling back.

Researchers observed behaviour such as flicking of the ears, head shaking and head rubbing.

The calves were dehorned at the normal six to 12 weeks of age, and a significant reduction in pain re-sponses were noted.

Some were even given local anes-thetic as well, but that wore off after a few hours and the Metacam took over.

The same principal applies to de-horning as with scouring calves: appetite will be maintained, calves will be less stressed, they will recover quicker and be less prone to getting sick.

This is a win-win situation and should return revenue to the pro-ducer, especially when considering the small amount of product used in these young calves.

Other researchers are looking at using NSAIDs when doing other painful procedures such as castra-tion and branding.

Animal welfare is at the top of the list when it comes to the public’s vision of food production and food safety. With castration, the push is to do it at a younger age with a painkiller of some type.

Merck, which makes Banamine, has a study indicating that lameness is significantly reduced in feedlots with the medication, proving its place as a pain killer in a veterinari-an’s repertoire of prescription medi-cations.

To be adopted for routine proce-dures, painkillers must be effective, economical, easy to administer, long lasting and have no longer of a with-drawal than most of the antibiotics with which they are administered. These products definitely will fit the bill.

Although they cost money, the dose is small when using them for routine procedures on young calves. There may be a feed formulation, but administration by needle is still easy.

More pain medication will be given to cattle in the near future.

Although it does appease the ani-mal welfare concerns, it also makes economic sense, increasing produc-tion and providing more animal welfare and hopefully less clinical disease.

We as veterinarians just need to think about how it should fit into our treatment protocols.

need to repeat the treatment. All these products must be admin-

istered at their recommended meth-od according to the label. If not, we are guessing at their withdrawal or it may result in tissue damage.

Boehringer Ingelheim, which makes Metacam, looked at using the product on clinically affected scour-

ing calves along with the standard scour treatments such as electro-lytes. It found that the calves’ appe-tite was better, they recovered quick-er and were less active.

Calves that weren’t treated with metacam weren’t nearly as con-tent, probably because of uneasi-ness caused by gas pains or pain in

It’s time to bring in the garden har-vest here on the northern plains.

Our ranch, even with its incred-ibly poor soil, has always hosted a garden of one kind or another.

Mom always made sure we had a garden in the backyard, and Dad could be found hoeing weeds and getting water to the right parts of it.

Somehow, among all the potential partners in my generation who don’t give a hoot about raising a little of their own food, I married a woman who plotted out a garden spot by our house and got me hauling finely aged cow manure to till into the yellow sand to make production possible.

So I’ve known the joys, and discom-forts, of raising our own vegetables my entire life.

“As you sow, so shall ye reap” fol-lowed us home from church as a way to live our life and out to the garden as

a way to raise our peas and carrots.As a kid, on my hands and knees

picking weeds, I learned there were no magic beans that grew to the sky without effort, just plain old beans that demanded planting, weeding, watering, picking and cleaning to get them to your table top, steam rising with a pat a butter and a sprinkle of salt to reward a summer’s efforts.

This year, our garden was OK, but not great, probably a function of our being gone from the place a little too much to give it the necessary care.

But after visiting my cousin and her husband, who live about 130 kilo-metres from the ranch, we won’t go without fresh, homegrown produce. They sent us home with boxes full of tomatoes, green peppers, red pep-pers, raspberries and cucumbers.

We’re kind of like some of the smok-ers I’ve known. When I’d ask them what brand of cigarettes they pre-ferred to smoke, they’d say “O.P.,” short for “other people’s.” I knew a few snoose chewers that way, too. They never owned a can of snuff, but always seemed to have a chew as long as their friends were buying.

Similarly, if you asked my wife and me about our favourite kind of pro-duce, we’d have to say “O.P.” or “O.G,” for other gardeners. Everyone gets to eat O.P. zucchini, which has been

given away since it was invented, but O.P. heirloom tomatoes and plump red peppers are special.

My cousin’s husband is retired from his career and now dedicates a lot of time to his garden and greenhouse, raising his own plants from seed. He says he just likes to watch things grow and see them thrive from seed packet to harvest.

He gets so attached to his little seed-lings that it pains him to ditch any of them. He claims that’s how he ended up with 150 tomato plants this year. He thought about doing the farmer’s market thing, but decided he’s more of a grower than a seller.

Now he’s a giver and our family is pretty thankful that we’re a part of his circle of sharing.

He likes to grow it, we like to eat it and nothing is going to waste. If you have relatives who garden and friends who hunt and fish, you can stay pretty well fed.

I guess our specialty in this system of sharing must be cull cow ham-burger. We may have to load up a cooler or two of the lean grind and return the favour of the homegrown O.P. veggies.

Centennial ColumnCelebrating 100 years of students at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources. The Centennial Column is a weekly feature highlighting the history and present successes of the college.

Congratulating the College of Agriculture and Bioresources on 100 years of agriculture innovation.

The School of Agriculture

The Diploma in Agriculture has been central to the University’s strong commitment to rural Saskatchewan since its inception as the Associate Course in 1912.

The fi rst courses were primarily designed for young persons who planned to spend their lives on the farm. In the three-year Associate Program in Agriculture, students learned about the latest developments in farming practices, earning an Associate Diploma in Agriculture. The students in the Associate Program enrolled in early November, after the crops were harvested, and stayed on campus until late March, when they were again needed on their home farms.

In 1931 the Associate Program was shortened to two years, and increased emphasis was placed on the vocational aspects of the program and on the practical application of the results of scientifi c research for the farm.

In 1937 the program’s name was changed to the “School of Agriculture” and J.W.G. MacEwan, head of the college’s Department of Animal Husbandry, became the fi rst Director of the school.

In 1982 a review of the Program recommended three major changes: greater emphasis on self-directed studies, a longer program, and the development of areas of specialization. The recommendations were implemented in 1984. The program was expanded to three years, and two areas of specialization were created – one in crop production management and the other in animal production management.

In response to a downward trend in enrolment, a revised Diploma in Agriculture Program was instituted in 2001— a two-year program with extended terms and a revised curriculum

The college undertook an extensive program eva luation in 2006 to target the program at employment areas where demand exists and to make it fully transferable into Bachelor’s level programs. The program was changed to the Diplomas in Agriculture and Bioresources program, resulting in deletion of the Animal Science and General Agriculture fi elds of specialization and major revisions to the Agribusiness and Agronomy Diploma majors. Students from both diplomas have the option of laddering directly into the BSA or the BSc Agribusiness degrees.

Following WWII students in the Program formed the Saskatchewan Vocational Agriculturalist’s Association. The Association provided leadership training opportunities and formed a number of clubs for students who wished to explore topics not covered in lectures or labs. Many of the 4,000 graduates returned to their rural roots and became leaders in their communities, their industry and the Province. They form a strong link between the college, the university and rural Saskatchewan.

Cargill plans to build a large canola refinery at its crushing facility near Clavet, Sask.

The company hopes to have the refinery completed in time for the 2014-15 canola harvest.

The project’s price tag is not yet certain because details of its scope aren’t final, but it will be a world s c a l e re f i n e r y u p g r a d i n g r aw canola oil from its existing crush-ing complex into a food grade product.

“It represents the first investment of this kind for Cargill in Canada and is one further step in the creation of Clavet as a major centre for value a d d e d p r o c e s s i n g ,” G o n z a l o Petschen, president of Cargill’s dressing, sauces and oils division, said in a news release.

“This builds on the original vision of Clavet being an integrated canola processing hub for Cargill and for Saskatchewan,” said Ken Stone, com-mercial manager for Cargill Grains and Oilseeds.

Cargill spokesperson Brigitte Bur-goyne said the crushing operation until now has shipped raw oil to other ref ining plants in North America.

The new refinery will crush both Cargill’s specialty high oleic canola varieties and generic types.

The plant will produce mainly for the North American market.

B u r g oy n e s a i d t h e c o m p a n y expected to be able to reveal more details about the project before the end of the year.

The Clavet canola crush facility was

built in 1996 and capacity was dou-bled in an expansion in 2009. It is now the largest canola processing facility

in Canada and capable of crushing 1.5 million tonnes per year.

The refinery will add up to 30 addi-

tional jobs and boost the total employment at the complex to close to 200 employees.

A major Chinese grain company appears to be pressing forward with plans to build a large canola crushing plant in Western Canada.

In April 2011, Chongqing Red Drag-onfly Oil Co. entered into a three-year joint venture agreement with Clean Power Concepts, a Regina firm that produces filtered canola oil, feed meal, lubricants, chemicals and additives.

According to a copy of the agree-ment found on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website, the exclusive purpose of the venture is to lease or acquire one or more 200,000 to 300,000 tonne crushing facilities and build an 850,000 tonne new crushing facility, which would rival the Richardson International and

Louis Dreyfus plants in Yorkton, Sask.The initial capital investment for

the project was $3 million, 95 percent of which came from Chongqing.

Chongqing Red Dragonfly Oil Co., a subsidiary of Chongqing Grain Group, is the largest state-owned oil producer in southwestern China, according to a Google translation of the company’s website.

The firm has 460 employees and total assets of $6.9 billion and pro-duces 350 million tonnes of oil annu-ally.

There has been little news about the project since the joint venture was signed, but the plan appears to be developing.

Clean Power Concepts issued a news release in January stating that Chongqing Red Dragonfly Oil Co. had received final Chinese govern-

ment approval to proceed with the joint venture.

A release in May said the two com-panies had established Pan Pacific Green Food Inc. to “establish opera-tions in the agricultural processing and commodities sector.”

The agreement said Pan Pacific would establish an office in Vancou-ver in the near future.

“We are pleased to be moving for-ward in a process that has been sig-nificantly more complex than we had envisioned,” Michael Shenher, chief executive officer of Clean Power Concepts, said in the release.

Shenher declined to provide new details when contacted for this story.

“I am in the process of putting together a comprehensive update for shareholders and the public, and I will share that with you in the near

future,” he said in an e-mail.In a February 2011 interview, Shen-

her said the plan was to build a mini-mum 600,000 tonne crush facility in Saskatchewan or Alberta at a cost of $70 to $90 million.

It is his second attempt at develop-ing a large-scale canola crush plant. In spring 2008, Shenher, then CEO of Canadian Green Fuels, said he would build a 460,000 tonne crushing facil-ity and 200 million litre biodiesel plant in McLean, Sask., 37 kilometres east of Regina.

The project had fallen apart by fall, and the company had to announce it was delaying its planned $50 million share offering.

“Our financing sort of went away when the markets sort of evaporated there in September (2008),” said Shenher in the 2011 interview.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 85AGFINANCE

William Allaway’s time man-agement strategy used to be simple.

“For years, I worked just crazy hours. I’d go three or four weeks with-out taking a day off,” says the chief executive officer of Acadian Maple Products.

“Most days included a three-hour round trip to our packaging facility. I got through things with just sheer brute force.”

Acadian Maple is one of those extreme growth tales.

A decade ago, Allaway’s parents, Brian and Simonne, operated it out of their garage in Upper Tantallon, a short drive from Halifax. Today, it has 20 full-time employees, customers around the world and sales in excess of $2 million.

Just like many farmers, Allaway did it all, or tried to, anyway.

“Letting go is very hard,” says the 33-year-old.

“I have a vision of how I want things done or how I want a particular proj-ect to turn out. When you give it to somebody, it doesn’t always come back that way.”

Allaway’s parents, retired educa-tors, remain heavily involved in the business, especially on the retail side and in the visitor centre, which attracts 35,000 people a year. But it’s the son who’s led the expansion, which began, oddly enough, when Allaway was rejected for an MBA program in 2002 because he lacked business experience.

At the time, his father was consider-ing buying a former coffee shop to house the thriving sideline business centred on buying, packaging and distributing maple syrup, mostly to small retailers.

While his parents envisioned add-ing a little store and getting their garage back, Allaway soon realized the potential was much greater.

But there was so much to do. The coffee shop renovations

required a business plan, financing a n d re t a i l l a u n c h. E x p a n s i o n meant more wholesale and sourc-ing more syrup, largely from other provinces. Co-pack opportunities arose and new products were suc-cessfully introduced: first jams, butters and candy, then cranberry and blueberry items and later cof-fee roasting and fudge making. There are now nearly 200 Acadian Maple products.

And that doesn’t begin to describe it.

Quality control? Allaway became a “certified quality assurance manag-er” after training in the United States, and he tasted every batch.

Chief food safety officer? That would be Allaway again.

Market development? Allaway has been to 18 countries from Brazil to Russia to a big swath of Europe.

Somehow he also found time to project manage a second 6,000 sq. foot expansion of the plant and store, and create the visitors’ centre.

THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT | DELEGATING DUTIES

Saving time takes time — but it will pay off in the long run

Archived columns from this series can be found at www.fcc-fac.ca/learning. Farm Credit Canada enables business management skill development through resources such as this column, and information and learning events available across Canada.

And if there’s a breakdown on the line, Allaway will dash from his office to oversee the repair effort “because every minute you’re down costs a fortune and that’s money you’ll nev-er get back.”

The range of his duties isn’t any dif-ferent than on a farm: production, market ing, r isk manag ement, finances and financing, buying inputs, making the big calls on land and equipment purchases, and on and on.

The difference is that on most farms, you can pretend you can do it all. Allaway couldn’t.

Even if he worked every second of every day, he couldn’t simultane-ously be at a trade show in Europe,

fix the labelling machine and meet with bankers. So he had to delegate. And guess what? It wasn’t easy.

“Sometimes when you give some-thing to someone, it’ll turn out better than you expected,” says Allaway. “But often that’s not the case, so it can be very frustrating. And it’s also very time-consuming.”

There’s the rub: saving time takes time.

“Right now, we’re reorganizing our warehouse and I’ll be spending two hours every day there for the next two months, where I used to spend 20 minutes,” says Allaway.

“But when we’ve got the new sys-tems in place, I won’t have to spend any time there. So it’s no different

than spending $40,000 on a labelling machine. Eventually, I’ll get that investment back and be more profit-able.”

The same applies when passing authority to an employee.

“There’s an upfront cost to any-thing,” he says.

“The only way to do it is to give people parameters, let them do their own thing and see how it works out. That’s how you find out what people can do.”

Don’t have time to do it all on your farm? Then you probably never will. Either you delegate to family mem-bers, employees, or contractors, or you stick with the sheer brute force method and try to muddle through.

The former will require a major investment of time and at first you’ll likely experience more frustration than payback.

But consider the alternative: crazy hours, tons of stress and, in all likeli-hood, important tasks being neglect-ed or rushed through.

“My time is a commodity, I need to use it wisely,” says Allaway.

Maybe it’s time to think about whether you’re doing the same.

Safe-GuardTM (fenbendazole) is a different class of dewormer than pour-ons and injectables. It works fast to stop internal parasites and the hidden damage they cause. These parasites suppress feed intake, reduce average daily gain, hurt nutrient absorption and immune function, reducing the health and performance of your cattle.1,2

Use Safe-Guard as part of your parasite control program for more pounds of high quality beefin the feedlot.3,4
