Aug. 31 was a great day for har-vesting, with blue skies and late summer heat.

But while that was a terrific situa-tion for thousands of grain growers driving combines across western Canadian fields, it was just another day of anxiety for Shane Jahnke.

“I’m a cattle guy. I need rain,” said Jahnke, whose Gouldtown, Sask., pastures and hay lands are parched after the summer drought.

While grain growers in the dry zones, which cover a significant proportion of the southern prai-ries, likely aren’t cursing the sunny skies as they combine their crops, their attitude was harsher during the midst of the growing season, with their crops losing yield poten-tial as dryness stretched from spring onwards.

Farmers have joined with allies from across the country to fight the federal government’s proposed tax changes, ones many say could threaten the future of the family farm.

It’s an attempt to pressure a Lib-eral government that might or might not understand the practical implications the changes could have on farm income, succession and family dynamics.

“Farmers and others who are concerned about these changes need to make these Liberals under-stand that there will be a very steep political price,” said Jason Kenney,

the former senior federal Conser-vative government cabinet minis-ter, long-time member of Parlia-ment, and leading Alberta opposi-tion member.

“If there’s enough volume and a big enough constituency opposed to changes, I think they can be defeated.”

According to numerous tax, suc-cession and accounting experts,

the proposals could substantially increase the tax farmers pay and could penalize farmers for trying to keep their farms within the family by establishing farm companies or using other vehicles to transfer land ownership.

People can comment on the pro-posals until Oct. 2.

Farm organizations have been quick to join the Coalition for Small

Business Tax Fairness fighting the proposals, with the Canadian Fed-eration of Agriculture, Canadian Pork Council, Canadian Cattle-men’s Association, Canadian Association of Farm Advisors, Canadian Horticultural Council, Grain Farmers of Canada and Grain Farmers of Ontario becom-ing founding members.

Provincial governments are also becoming involved, with the prai-rie provinces’ finance ministers taking the lead but each province’s agriculture minister also stepping forward to point out what they see as possible threats to farmer via-bility.

WHAT’S IN THIS ISSUE

BY JEREMY SIMESEDMONTON BUREAU

Many crops in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan are expected to be below average this year, but some farmers in other areas are seeing yields they say are close to

something special.David Johnston, a grain farmer in

Three Creeks, Alta., about 25 kilometres northeast of Peace Riv-er, is reporting pea yields of 77 bushels per acre, well above the Peace region’s current estimated dry pea average of 43 bu. per acre.

PULSE PRODUCTION

Pea crop yields delight Peace region growers“This is almost off the charts for

profitability,” Johnston said during a phone interview.

“When you’re nearly into 80 bushels, it’s a very, very nice crop.”

Lack of moisture in the southern parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan received much of the attention from crop observers this year, but many farmers like Johnston, have managed to grow impressive crops.

Johnston credited good subsoil moisture, the weather, a sheltered field, a pre-seed burndown, and a well-timed fungicide application program for his success.

“The crop was just clean right from the start,” he said. “It was weed- and disease-free.”

He was also a bit lucky, he added. “We didn’t get a lot of rain, but

definitely got enough rain. There was no frost, of course, and no hail, and all of these things have to line up,” he said. “On the whole, I was quite heavy on the inputs and time-

liness as a management practice — everything was done when it exactly needed to be done.”

Jessica Seitz, a northern territory grain sales representative with Car-gill, said she’s heard producers are averaging around 40 to 60 bu. per acre in the region.

“There are definitely some places where there’s one-offs that are higher than that and ones that are lower than that, too,” she said.

Pea yields, she said, are typically around 45 bu. per acre.

“Pea harvest isn’t done yet, so we won’t know for sure quite yet,” she said. “But I think things are looking better than guys expected at this point. Hopefully, the weather holds out and we have a long fall.”

Johnston said he plans to follow similar management practices for years to come.

“I might’ve got a one-in-a-15-year crop,” he said. “It’s exceptional.”

It’s not a done deal, but a merger of Manitoba commodity groups is closer to reality.

Leaders of five groups, the Corn Growers, Manitoba Pulse & Soy-bean, Manitoba Flax Growers, National Sunflower Association of Canada and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers, met twice in August to discuss the details, opportunities and obsta-cles around forming a joint orga-nization.

Crop research, agronomy and market development will contin-ue to be the main focus of a com-bined group, the leaders of the proposed merger said in a news release.

“The directors involved in this

process still have a lot of questions and there is still a lot of work to do, but progress on developing a comprehensive member-consul-tation plan has been made,” said Myron Krahn, Manitoba Corn Growers president.

The idea of commodity group merger has been discussed in Manitoba for years, but the formal process began this winter.

Joining forces makes sense because some of the groups repre-sent commodities with limited acreage and small production in Manitoba. In some cases, the levy on that production may not gener-ate sufficient dollars to fund a standalone organization.

For instance, less than 50,000 acres of flax was seeded in Mani-toba in 2017.

Sunflower acres in recent years

have been below 100,000.Wheat, corn and soybean grow-

ers went through a similar process in Ontario. In 2010, they united to form the Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO).

“It’s efficiency. It’s a stronger voice. It puts depth in our offices. It gives us greater reach,” said Henry Van Ankum, former GFO chair, earlier this year.

“(But) the key to have it work is to

have the grassroots asking for it.”The working group, represent-

ing the five commodity organiza-tions, continues to sort through details of the plan, such as com-munications with farmers and government.

“It is quite important that we hear from as many farmers as possible,” said Rob Hannam of Synthesis Agri-Food Network, who has helped lead the merger talks.

To get feedback from farmers on the proposed merger, the working group has set up an email address.

Manitoba farmers who grow barley, corn, edible beans, flax, pulses, soybeans, sunflower or spring wheat can send an email to [email protected].

Gerry Ritz knows most people will point to the end of the Canadi-an Wheat Board as his legacy.

But the Battlefords-Lloydminster MP who was federal agriculture minister under Conser vative prime minister Stephen Harper from 2007 to 2015 said he’s actually most proud of something else.

“In my mind, it was the rapport developed with industry leaders writ large across Canada,” he said during an interview after announc-ing he would not return to the House of Commons this fall.

“(It was) the value chain round-tables that we set up that also became the vehicles to fund the results-driven articles that those industry leaders put forward. We expedited a lot of programming simply because it was (what) indus-

try was asking for, not what govern-ment wanted to do.

“To me, that’s what I’m most proud of. The rancour and fighting and so on that went on between a lot of the different supply line pieces ended when they all started rowing the same direction.”

Ritz was first elected under the Reform party banner in 1997 and re-elected as a Canadian Alliance candidate in 2000 before winning

the next five elections as a Conser-vative. As minister, he led numer-ous trade missions to open and expand international markets. He fought against the United States’ move to mandatory country-of-origin labelling for meat and, yes, he did end the CWB single-desk for wheat exports.

Farmers, industry leaders and fellow politicians used social media last week to thank Ritz for his efforts.

Saskatchewan Conservative cau-cus chair Randy Hoback said Ritz was a strong mentor to new MPs, always asked for and provided advice on all files and continued to have regional input despite his busy ministerial portfolio.

He said he will miss the insight and knowledge Ritz brought to the trade file in particular.

“I think he has something like two million Air Miles,” Hoback quipped

in an interview, referring to Ritz’s extensive travel.

David Anderson, Conservative MP in Cypress Hills-Grasslands, said Ritz’s success as minister has changed Canadian agriculture for the better.

Provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said he respected Ritz for his time and effort in political life.

“Sometimes it can be a thankless job,” he said. “I have seen his dedi-cation on tackling some of the hardest issues that have hit the agriculture industry and commu-nicating a strong voice internation-ally for our interests, some of which included trade and implications of COOL.”

Ritz, 66, said it was time to move on and make family his priority.

“We’re half-way through a ses-sion so there’s lots of time for some-one to run in a byelection here, get

their feet on the ground, get ready for a major election in 2019,” he said.

He added he supported fellow Saskatchewan MP Andrew Scheer in his Conservative leadership bid and it’s time for him and a team of younger people to take over.

Ritz put to rest any rumour that he would seek the Saskatchewan Par-ty leadership.

“My wife says she has a honey-do list that will take me three years if I really get at it,” he said.

But he also said he will likely focus future efforts on agriculture and trade.

He said he is frustrated the trade file is still in flux and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, even without the U.S., isn’t moving ahead quicker.

“That’s one thing I regret not get-ting done, done,” he said, repeating “done” for emphasis.

(Reuters) — Dow Chemical Co. and DuPont said Sept. 1 the com-panies had successfully completed their planned US$130 billion merger to form DowDuPont.

Sha re s o f DuPont a n d D ow stopped trading at the close of Aug. 31 and will now trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DWDP”.

Dow and DuPont announced the merger in December 2015.

“The true value of this merger lies in the intended creation of three industry powerhouses that will define their markets,” Andrew Liv-eris, executive chair of DowDu-Pont, said in a statement Sept. 1.

Following the merger, Dow and DuPont are expected to break up into three independent, publicly traded units, agriculture, materials science and specialty products.

The decision to announce the changes in mid-summer and to only accept responses until mid-fall has also drawn provincial notice.

“There has not been a detailed, comprehensive forum or discus-sion on what this might look like,” said Manitoba Agriculture Minis-ter Ralph Eichler.

“They want an opportunity not… to be on the combine and hear about it, or on the tractor as they prepare their soils…. They want a real opportunity to sit down and explain their position on whether or not that will affect them and their ability to be sustainable long term.”

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minis-ter Lyle Stewart, who was busy harvesting at his own farm as he

tried to come to grips with the pro-posed changes, also challenged the rushed timetable.

“The tight consultation period… is concerning as it makes it difficult for farmers and industry groups to participate because of harvest time,” said Stewart.

Alberta Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier urged his province’s farmers to take the time to respond to Ottawa’s proposals.

“I encourage all our farmers and

ranchers to make sure they take part in that consultation, make sure that their stories are told, make sure that their concerns are heard by the federal government,” said Carlier. “I think there might be some unin-tentional consequences here… and we want to make sure they understand.”

The federal government has not committed to carrying through with the changes. However, feder-al Finance Minister Bill Morneau has appeared to agree with moti-vation behind the changes, which is to close tax loopholes exploited by some businesses and profes-sionals.

The changes proposed for agri-culture are seen as costly and dan-gerous by many farm tax and man-agement experts, but Kenney said that the minister and top bureau-crats may not understand all the implications.

“There are a lot of very smart peo-ple in the department of finance, but

I suspect none of them have a real understanding of how family farms are structured, and the challenges that the family farm is facing in Canada,” said Kenney.

“I think this is partly informed by ignorance.”

Kenney said finance officials brought similar proposals to the Stephen Harper government’s long-serving Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, but “he rejected them out of hand.”

“The only way to fight it is by demonstrating an even wider

broader coalition of people who are opposed to these changes,” said Kenney.

That’s something farmer organi-zations are also hoping to see.

Todd Lewis, president of Agricul-tural Producers Association of Saskatchewan urged farmers to contact their MPs.

Shane Jahnke, president of the Saskatchewan Stockgrowers Asso-ciation, urged farmers to tell the government what they think about the proposed changes and not just rely upon organizations.

Farmers should “get on (the Department of Finance) website and express their thoughts,” said Jahnke.

Dan Mazier, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, said the government must realize it could be undermining the ability of families to keep the family farm going.

“They need to hear about it.”

TAX REFORM PROTEST

LYLE STEWARTSASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURE MINISTER


As expected, Rosthern-Shell-brook MLA Scott Moe entered the Saskatchewan Party leadership race last week.

He has strong caucus support, receiving the endorsement of 21 caucus members including an unexpected Jeremy Harrison. The Meadow Lake MLA withdrew from the contest just an hour before Moe’s announcement.

Harrison said in a statement that Moe is a longtime friend “and the candidate in this race who most closely shares both my values and principles.”

Moe said Harrison and the others will play a valuable role in develop-i n g t h e p o l i c y t h e t e a m w i l l announce prior to the Jan. 27 vote for the person who will automati-cally become the next premier.

He said renewal is not just about one person.

“I just don’t know how someone

can step into our premier’s shoes,” Moe said in an interview. “It won’t be just one person. It will be a team of us.”

Health Minister Jim Reiter intro-d u c e d Mo e at t h e c a m p a i g n launch, saying he is the best person to lead the team.

Moe was raised on a grain farm in the Shellbrook area and has an agriculture degree from the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan. He is mar-ried with two children.

First elected in 2011, he has

served as advanced education and environment minister. He was the minister responsible for new agri-cultural drainage regulations.

He has been a strong opponent to a carbon tax.

“I know that Scott will fight the federal carbon tax with every tool at our province’s disposal,” said Har-rison in his statement. “I also know Scott is a person of deep integrity who is committed to ethics and accountability in government.”

Moe said his caucus support

comes from a wide cross-section of both urban and rural Saskatche-wan and his team will engage with all residents.

There are now five candidates in the race. Current agriculture min-ister Lyle Stewart and former min-ister Bob Bjornerud, a founder of the Sask. Party, have both endorsed Gord Wyant. Tina Beaudry-Mellor, Ken Cheveldayoff and Alanna Koch are the other candidates.

Yet many on the edges of the drought have ended up with crops that aren’t a complete disaster, e v e n t h o u g h t h e y a re m u c h reduced from last year’s produc-tion.

In the worst areas, crops were devastated, but in less severely droughted areas farmers are managing to pull off a moderate crop, which is better than many expected.

How do you produce a crop with no rain?

“It’s last year’s subsoil (moisture,) that was very high,” said Chuck Penner, who operates LeftField Commodity Research.

“It’s what carried the crop.”That creates another worry for

grain growers now. When harvest is over, they will need lots of mois-ture to resupply subsoil moisture for next spring’s crop. Like a bank account pushed into overdraft, Saskatchewan and Alberta soils in the dry zone have very little mois-ture left to draw on.

Statistics Canada’s Aug. 31 crop production estimates found a western Canadian crop and yields far below last year’s, but not too far off 2015’s production.

Crops concentrated in the drought zone were severely knocked backed, with durum production falling to 3.9 million from about half of last year’s output, but other crops like canola were estimated to come in only a bit smaller, at 18.2 million tonnes versus 2016’s 19.6 million and 2015’s 18.4 million.

All-wheat production is estimat-ed to decline to 25.5 million tonnes from 2016’s 31.7 million, but it’s not far off 2015’s 27.6 million.

It won’t be a good crop for West-ern Canada, by any means, but far from an overall disaster.

That’s likely a testament to the subsoil moisture left over from 2016’s soaking autumn weather, but it’s not a condition that will persist into spring of 2018 without fall rains recharging it.

There are still northern areas with lots of moisture but in southern areas grain growers will likely return to fretting over the continu-ing dry conditions, knowing that next year’s crop will face dodgy prospects if moisture reserves are not soon built up.

Penner says he was expecting something close to most of Stats-Can’s estimates, but that relied on accounts of what farmers were finding in th e fields.

When it comes to next year’s crop, much will rely upon the combina-tion of snow, spring rainfall and soil moisture carried through the win-ter. The latter is hard to gauge.

“How do you build that informa-tion into your models?” mused Penner.

LACOMBE, Alta. — Canola grow-ers ready to swath should watch for abnormalities in the field — dis-eases like blackleg, clubroot or sclerotinia could be rampant, say agronomists.

In fact, now is the best time to be on the lookout, according to Clint Jurke, agronomy director with the Canola Council of Canada.

“Swathing is your prime time,” Jurke said during a Canolapalooza tour near Lacombe on Aug. 29. “It’s really important to do it because you need to know whether or not you are successful at actually man-aging these diseases.”

Scouting will also give growers a sense of how to manage crops next year, and help determine when they should grow canola again.

“Is it going to be a two-year rota-tion, three or four?” said Dan Orchard, an agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada, who represents the northern Alberta region. “It’ll help you understand what variety to choose and, more so, choose when you’ll grow canola next.”

During the tour, farmers were told what to look for and what to do

when they encounter diseases dur-ing harvest, with many farmers still having a ways to go before crop is in the bin.

Agronomists first discussed blackleg, which is caused by fungus and blackens the core of crop where the stem meets the root.

When swathing, producers can locate blackleg by looking for crops that seem browner than the others, and ones that have kinked over, Jurke said.

“If you see this, now is the time to get off the swather and pull those plants out of the ground and deter-mine which diseases you’re deal-ing with,” he said.

“For blackleg, it’s good to have a pair of sheers and cut through that base part of the stem.”

As well, farmers should look for clubroot.

The disease, which produces club-like galls at the roots, was recently discovered in the Peace region. It’s spreading so fast pro-ducers are having a hard time keep-ing up, Orchard said.

“Roughly, it’s spreading at a rate of 30 kilometres per year, and we’re only managing it at 20 kilometres per year,” he said.

“We have to be ahead of it, not behind it.”

However, both clubroot and blackleg can be effectively man-aged by growing resistant varieties and having longer crop rotations.

“Scouting and keeping in touch with your crop is your front-line defence,” Orchard said. “If you don’t see clubroot, it can really ramp up.”

Others ways producers can help stop the spread of clubroot include minimizing the movement of soil, cleaning equipment thoroughly, and reducing tillage.

But another big disease to watch for is sclerotinia, which causes stem rot in canola.

Although the disease better flourishes in wet environments — which largely isn’t the case this year — it’s always wise for produc-

ers to spray fungicide, said Keith Gabert, also an agronomy special-ist with the Canola Council of Canada representing south cen-tral Alberta.

“Pretty much spray every year,” he said. “It can rob yield easily.”

And like clubroot or blackleg, determining the amount of scler-otinia on the field can give farmers an idea on how to manage opera-tions next year.

“If you had a real wreck in the field, I would extend that rotation,” he said.

“There are good genetics on the market where they’re not as prone to sclerotinia, but that’s not the same as having genetic intoler-ance.”

DRY WEATHER TAKES TOLL

Source: Statistics Canada, Reuters News Agency

Canada’s 2017 crop is down from last year according to the first forecast from Statistics Canada. Durum, produced mostly in the drought-affected south, was hit particularly hard. The forecasts were mostly in line with the trade’s expectations. Soybean and oat production rose due to increased seeded area.


Farmers with a durum crop should be able to enjoy both a decent price this winter and much needed aid in clearing last year’s crop, some analysts say.

The crop might be small, but it’s vital.

Durum supply will be a combina-tion of new production and the carry over from 2016-17.

“It’s still going to be tight,” said Chuck Penner of LeftField Com-modity.

“But the general idea is that a bunch of (2016-17 durum) will get blended in with this year’s good crop.”

According to Penner and others, new crop durum should find good and steady demand because of the small size of this year’s crop and because of moderate world sup-plies.

That should allow farmers to either sell their generally good quality new crop for good prices, or use this year’s good quality to blend with last year’s left over poor quali-ty.

“That crop will be available for export,” said Penner.

Whatever Statistics Canada’s year-end stock estimates, the true size of leftover 2016-17 low quality durum will remain partly a mys-tery.

It will trickle in through the winter as farmers blend the old and new crops to create a good sample.

“If we still have a lot of lower qual-ity durum (in farmers’ bins), that increases the supply,” said Bruce Burnett, director of markets and weather analysis for Glacier Farm-Media.

Statistics Canada’s Aug. 31 crop production estimates shocked the market with a durum forecast of 3.9 million tonnes, versus trade expec-tations of 4.2 to 5.4 million.

In 2016, 7.8 million tonnes were produced.

But most analysts assume that the crop will end up being larger be-

cause the survey was conducted in July before a handful of key rains and showers, which arrived in time to fill-out the crops from their most extreme moisture-deprived states.

“They might turn out a little big-ger. We’ve had a couple of rains since,” said John Duvenaud, pub-lisher of the Wild Oats newsletter.

Penner’s estimate for durum pro-duction is 4.3 million tonnes.

Burnett said he has heard reports that durum yields are turning out better when they go into the com-bine than farmers expected.

“The yields appear to be a bit better.”

Burnett and Penner said Sask-atchewan and Alberta crop reports are expecting higher yields than the StatsCan estimate, and those numbers are fresher and regularly updated. They are watching those closely and looking at the StatsCan report as a reflection of a snapshot in time from late July.

Burnett said durum should attract a premium.

“A month and a half ago we were seeing spring wheat prices higher than durum. That’s switched around already. We’re going to see a premium in the market for durum,” said Burnett.

A Saskatchewan farm organiza-tion has called for a moratorium on closing producer car loading sites.

The Agricultural Producers Asso-ciation of Saskatchewan said Cana-dian Pacific Railway’s decision to close 10 locations leaves farmers at a disadvantage.

“Producer car loading is an important source of competition and innovation in Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry,” said presi-dent Todd Lewis.

APAS has written to federal trans-por t minister Marc Garneau requesting the moratorium until a full railway costing review is done. The letter also asks for legislative changes to make sure that the requirements for rural and urban siding closures are the same. Urban closures require more notice, Lewis said.

According to the CPR, the follow-ing Saskatchewan loading sites could begin closing in mid-Sep-t e m b e r : To m p k i n s, M i d a l e , Cupar, Markinch, Grand Coulee, Wilcox, Moosomin, Tisdale and Qu’Appelle.

Lewis said six sites in Alberta and two in Manitoba are also slated to close.

In an emailed statement the com-pany said it will remove “a small number of select producer car locations in Western Canada most of which have not been used in years.”

In 2016, according to the CP web-site, 15 producer cars were loaded at Grand Coulee, 10 at Qu’Appelle, five at Midale, three each at Cupar, Moosomin, Tisdale and Wilcox, and two at both Markinch and Tompkins.

BY BRIAN CROSSSASKATOON NEWSROOM

On-line grain trading forum FarmLead has introduced a new grain testing platform designed to help farmers get maximum value for the grain they produce and sell.

GrainTests.com is an on-line ser-vice that gives farmers accessto grain testing labs across Canada and the United States.

Farmers who use the service select the lab of their choice, and specify the grain quality parame-ters they want tested.

Brennan Turner, president and chief executive officer of Farm-Lead, says the service is intended to give farmers a more accurate idea of what they are selling and what it’s worth.

To get the greatest value out of the grain they sell, farmers should no longer depend on grain buyer test-ing.

Also, growers should no longer be satisfied with selling their grain based on grade and protein.

Other factors such as falling num-ber, hard vitreous kernels, vomi-toxin levels and test weights can have a bearing in the value of the crop.

“If you’re trying to market your grain and you’re trying to find … the top price, those are factors that you need to know,” Turner said.

“The first rule of thumb (for grain growers) is knowing your cost of production and the sec-ond most important thing, in my mind, is knowing what your grain quality is.

“So we think, at the end of the day, that if you’re spending maybe $500 or $1,000 on grain tests to under-stand the quality of your (crop) … that investment across all of your

Overall, producer cars represent ed less than 0.33 percent of ship-ments in the 2016-17 crop year, the railway said, and alternative loca-tions are available within 20 kilo-metres of the sites being discontin-ued.

Lewis said producer car demand has dropped, but the dynamics of the industry mean that could change.

CP said it will pull switches at the sites for safety reasons, but that doesn’t sit well with provincial highways minister David Marit.

He said both he and provincial agriculture minister Lyle Stewart met with the railway and expressed their displeasure.

Marit used to operate a short-line railway and said removing the 20

switches from 10 sites is unneces-sary because the only time there is wear and tear on them is when they are actually being used. They wouldn’t cost more than $50,000 to maintain, he said, and once they’re gone they’re gone.

“Why cause bad feelings?” Marit said. “We don’t like this and we’re not going to like this.”

Farmers have the legislative right to order cars but if railways close public-loading sites, that right diminishes. Marit said car unavail-ability might be the biggest reason sites aren’t being used more and the railways control that flow.

“ This just removes another opportunity for a grain producer to do business,” he said.

APAS said if these closures take place the number of producer car loading sites on Saskatchewan CP lines will drop to 26, down from 79 in 2005. Yet the railways are still compensated for maintaining the same number of sites as in 1992, Lewis said.

“Even if they discontinue service, we’re still paying for them,” he said, adding “I think the reciprocal pen-alty piece of the new legislation may make producer cars more via-ble.”

acres of production is really insig-nificant.”

GrainTests.com gives growers direct access to the services of most of the major grain testing labs in Western Canada. Growers can order tests from any of the partici-pating labs.

In Western Canada, those labs include SGS, Intertek, Biovision and 20/20 Seed Labs, among others.

U.S. testing services will be added later.

Turner said neither FarmLead nor GrainTests.com stand to make money from the on-line service.

There are no commissions or fees for administration. The only amount retained by GrainTests is a nominal fee aimed at covering the costs of credit card transactions.

“We just wanted to put this in a simple, convenient location where you can order tests from (your company of choice).”

Take charge

Despite a litany of grain-market-ing stories that end with the farmer getting hosed, many growers con-tinue to cut corners when it comes to collecting and retaining accu-rate grain samples and having them tested for important quality parameters.

“A lot of farmers have the mental-ity where they’re content to con-tinue with the status quo … where you send a sample to one or two or three grain buyers and wait to have them tell us what the quality and value of our grain is,” Turner said.

“Some guys don’t necessarily want to pay (to have their grain tested) but I think, especially in today’s marketing environment, that being able to have that inde-pendent assessment done kind of gives guys a bit more marketing power.”

Growers who have done their

homework are also likely to get more prompt attention from grain buyers and will probably end up moving grain more quickly at bet-ter prices.

Turner acknowledged that prop-er sampling procedures must be used to avoid grading and valua-tion disputes.

Growers who sample properly and test their grain for quality can still take advantage of the Canadi-an Grain Commission’s services that are designed to settle grain grading disputes.

Turner said protein levels in malt-ing barley will be an important fac-tor to monitor this year, given that moisture levels during the growing season were low in many parts of the West.

In milling wheat and durum, test weights could be variable and war-rant close attention.

There is speculation that much of this year’s higher quality wheat crop will be blended with remnants of last year’s crop, which was more abundant but of generally lower quality.

Fusarium pressures in this year’s milling wheat and durum crops are expected to be much lower than last year.

BY TERRY FRIES, COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

Early misgivings about the Sas-katchewan pea and lentil crops have given way to hope and opti-mism as the harvest rolls in from central and southern fields.

While yields for most farmers are only decent, they are better than many had feared following a dry summer.

However, quantity is going to be much better than what most farm-ers remember from the harvest of 2016.

“As for the quality, it’s just beauti-ful stuff,” said Gerrid Gust, vice-chair of Saskatchewan Pulse Grow-ers, who operates a farm near Davidson, Sask.

“(It’s) easy out of the back of the combine. You’re happy. There’s none of that white mould and the diseases that some of them get,” he said in an interview Aug. 29.

This year, Gust is harvesting 1,000 acres of yellow peas and 4,000 acres of red lentils.

He said none of his crops have staining or wrinkling or any other factors that can cause downgrades.

It’s a common theme through the central part of the grainbelt.

The harvest farther south is more advanced, he said, and the situa-tion there is similar, with mediocre to lower yields, but excellent qual-ity being reported.

Farther north, the harvest is barely underway so it’s more diffi-cult to assess, but Gust expects

farmers there might see more qual-ity issues because of the wetter summer they experienced.

“But I think overall, the Canadian crop is going to be excellent.”

On Aug. 30 Statistics Canada esti-mated the pea crop at 3.79 million tonnes, down from 4.84 million last year.

The lentil crop was forecast at

2.29 million tonnes, down from 3.25 million last year.

Gust said the high quality this year should make most pulses easier to market because every buyer is always looking for that perfect, pristine crop and this year farmers will hopefully have some leverage.

“I’ve got exactly what you want and if you’ve got some money at the levels I want to deal with, then we can talk.

“It’s not such a one-sided conver-sation.”

He added that key pulse buyers like India almost have to take notice with a crop of this quality and hopefully it will help settle some long-standing phyto-sani-tary regulations issues between

Canada and India.Canadian grain shippers cur-

rently have temporary permission allowing them to export gra in to India without first fumigating crops at port.

Canada doesn’t have the nema-tode pest India is concerned about and argues it shouldn’t have to fumigate. Plus, the cold weather in Canada makes it impossible to fumigate during the winter ship-ping season.

India has granted numerous tem-porary exemptions to Canada but many in the industry say a perma-nent fix is needed.

“When you’ve got a beautiful, good looking, high-quality crop, they’re much more likely to see things our way,” said Gust.

THE PEA CROPIS PEGGED AT

BY MICHAEL RAINESASKATOON NEWSROOM

DECATUR, Ill. — In the northern hemisphere, the crop is on its way to the bin and with large amounts of it priced and delivery months established, farmers can turn their attentions to 2018.

Canadian farmers will largely see posi tive margins. That is not the case in the United States, where corn and wheat left red ink on the ledger sheets, with soybeans being only bright spot in what is mainly a two-crop system, with a little wheat thrown in.

Sam Funk, market analyst of Rabobank in St. Louis, Missouri, feels that with few options, most U.S. producers have settled into their production plans, with some farmers shifting to soybeans based on price.

As well, soybeans’ lower input costs are attractive to many farmers because operational financing is becoming tighter.

“The U.S. baseline for grains and oilseeds is showing weakness for the corn and soy for the coming years,” said Funk in an interview at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur last week.

Illinois producer John Williams operates a fifth generation farm near Champaign and confirms Funk’s findings.

“We’ve been pricing our crops when we see what we feel are the highs in the market. But they aren’t very high and only a couple of times last year,” he said.

“We’re settling in for the long haul. These are more traditional prices and we are adjusting things includ-ing our rotation … beans will be the winner there. More acres,” said the producer, who attended the farm show hoping to find ideas to lower operating costs on the 3,200 acres he and his brother-in-law and their children operate.

“We don’t see an upside to (win-ter) wheat right now, other than it’s cheap to grow,” he said.

Bryce Knorr of the publication Farm Futures said American farm-ers are looking at cost control and have restricted abilities to borrow operating money based on lower or negative margins and declining land values.

The result is potential for a small-er corn crop in the U.S. and Brazil next year. That, combined with the possibility that the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture has underesti-mated Chinese demand for soy-beans, might cause producers to give soybeans a closer look for next year.

Bullish on beans

“I see corn prices stable for the next year, barring some weather problem someplace. Beans are looking better for growers,” Knorr said.

He said even if growers in the U.S. and Brazil pull back on corn, the carryout of U.S. corn, more than two billion bushels, will still be too high to cause prices to pick up.

“There is just too much out there and it doesn’t seem to be going away,” he said.

U.S. soybeans carryout is esti-mated at 475 million bu., support-ing a price of US$ 9.30 per bushel.

Victor Ikeda of Rabobank in Bra-zil said the South American senti-ment is similar and there is feeling among farmers that they overpro-duced corn last season. Most are planning for fewer acres for 2018.

Funk said in Canada, the eco-nomics are different.

“Farmers are doing far better. The

MORE SOYBEANS IN 2018?Analysts think American farmers will focus more on soybeans in 2018 because burdensome corn stocks are keeping the feed grain’s price at a money-losing level. Also, soybeans cost less to grow.Corn seeded area versus soybean (million acres) Corn Soybeans

Crop markets usually fall to their lowest levels of the year in the August-Septem-

ber period as yield projections firm and combines start to roll in North America.

It is too early to say that the lows are in, but with August in the rear-view mirror, we might be getting close.

The next United States Depart-ment of Agriculture report is on Sept. 12. Its August report had higher than expected corn and soybean yield projections. Some private forecasts are now coming out with yields a little lower.

If the USDA September report also has lower forecasts, that would support the market.

However, no one thinks that the cuts will be large. The market gen-erally believes there is no reason to worry about the supply of corn, soybeans or wheat.

How does this affect the canola market?

While other major crop supplies will be ample, analysts generally expect 2017-18 canola supply will be tight relative to demand.

Last week, Statistics Canada forecast the canola crop at 18.2 million tonnes and on Sept. 6 it was set to release its 2016-17 year-end stocks report.

I wrote this column before the stocks report but you can get the details at www.producer.com.

The year-end stocks report is always important but this year it has more interest given the sur-prise that StatsCan gave us in the production report.

It sees the current harvest at 18.2 million tonnes, close to market expectations, but it also revised its 2016 crop estimate upward by 1.2

million tonnes to 19.6 million.It did that based on the informa-

tion it got from its farmer survey conducted in late July.

It will be interesting to see how these new numbers will work into Agriculture Canada’s supply and demand expectations.

Before these revisions from StatsCan, Agriculture Canada had forecast year end 2016-17 canola stocks at 1.2 million tonnes.

It forecast the total supply for 2017-18 would be tight relative to its export and domestic use fore-casts, which were only a little low-er than the 2016-17 records.

It wound up with a year-end 2017-18 stocks forecast of only 600,000 tonnes, which would mean the stocks-to-use ratio would be a super tight three per-cent.

If stocks were that tight, canola prices would have to be near the top of their usual relationship with soybean prices so as to ration demand and encourage 2018 seeded area.

With the new numbers from Statistics Canada, that stocks fore-cast of 600,000 tonnes might now be out of date and requiring an increase.

But stocks are not the only price-determining factor. We must also follow the soybean the palm oil markets.

Looking beyond this year’s U.S. soybean production, very soon the market will weigh South American soybean seeding fore-casts and also seeding forecasts for the 2018 American crop.

With corn prices mired under huge year-end stocks, and lower seeding costs for soybeans, the prospect is for more acres of the oilseed in Brazil and America in the coming months.

Meanwhile, palm oil production has recovered from the El Nino drought of 2015 and is expected to continue to grow in the second half of this year, but perhaps at a slower pace than in the first half.

diversity of crops and a soft (Cana-dian) dollar are keeping them up,” he said.“Canola support in the market is there. The other (spe-cialty) crops are all in demand and prices are doing OK. They can’t compete in that feed market though. They need to avoid winter wheat or anything at ends up in the feed market. Just say ‘no’ to feed (grains),” he said.

“Canadian livestock should or could be using cheap American corn and (Canadian) farmers using their acres for a better pur-pose … ethanol too,” he said.

Williams said higher yields are a goal, but lower costs will remain the focus on their farm.

“It’s the new normal. Most of us, that have some grey hair, we’ve been here before. We learned what not to do, spend too much growing the wrong crop,” he said.

FED MARKET NEAR LOW

The Canfax fed steer average was $137.60 per hundredweight, down 93 cents. There was no heifer aver-age.

The price in Alberta was the low-est since last November and feed-ing margins have narrowed a lot. Many cattle are being sold at or below break-even levels.

Over the past three weeks Alberta fed prices have fetched a premium over the Nebraska market. If the strong basis persists, there is a good chance of fewer Saturday shifts compared to August.

Packers lifted cattle in a timely manner this summer, but recently there are rumblings that one Alber-ta packer is behind.

Western Canadian steer carcass-es increased 23 pounds last week, the largest week over week increase this year. Steers averaged 905 lb., topping 900 lb. for only the second time this year.

Weekly fed exports totaled 4,258, the first time since the beginning of May that volumes were below year ago levels.

The annual low for fed prices will likely be later this year than last year when the low was hit the first week in September.

There have only been two times in the past decade where Septem-ber prices averaged higher than August — in 2009 and 2014. In t h o s e y e a r s, t h e m o nt h ove r month increase was less than one percent.

In the U.S., dressed sales in the north were US$4-$8 lower than the previous week.

Live sales in Texas and Kansas were down $2, with most of the trade at $104 to $105.

U.S. slaughter volumes are run-ning close to maximum capacity.

COWS LOWER

D1, D2 cows ranged C$90-$106 per cwt. to average $95.50, down

$3.50 on ample supply.D3 cows ranged $80-$92 to aver-

age $86.20. Railgrade cows fell to $182-$187 delivered. Butcher bulls fell $3 to average $113.45.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to Aug. 26 surged 10 percent to 7,173 head.

Weekly exports to Aug. 19 rose to 4,266 head.

North American non-fed market-ings will likely increase and prices seasonally are expected to trend lower.

FEEDERS STRONGER

Alberta feeder prices rose on good demand for feeders heavier than 700 lb.

Calf offerings were light and prices were generally lower on lim-ited volume and quality.

Electronic sales offered a few more larger lots of quality calves and mid-weight steer calves for September-October delivery saw prices steady to modestly higher than the conventional auction trade.

Yearling supplies appear limited. Steers heavier than 700 lb. saw

prices firm $4.50-$5. That is $7-$14 higher than year ago.

Yearling heifers heavier than 700 lb. rose $3-$4.

Pasture conditions are deterio-rating and yearling volumes at auc-tion should rise. Calf marketings will also rise modestly, but signifi-cant volumes are not anticipated until the end of the month.

Cow-calf pairs ranged $1,700 to $2,200.

U.S. BEEF STABILIZES

U.S. Choice cut outs to Aug. 31 were US$191.91, up only 16 cents, and Select was up $2.68 at $191.34.

The smaller percentage grading Select production is supporting Select prices.

Beef demand often slips in Sep-tember as grilling weather ends

and school restarts. Canadian prices were not avail-

able.

CANFAX REPORT

CHICAGO, (Reuters) — Kansas, the top U.S. wheat producing state, could face hefty yield losses next year from a virus that cost it nearly six percent of production in 2017, according to a preliminary esti-mate.

Low prices may have deterred farmers from spending money before fall planting to control wheat volunteers that host the dis-ease. This year’s outbreak of wheat

streak mosaic virus in Kansas was the worst since 2006, according to plant pathologists at Kansas State University. The disease also struck parts of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado.

U.S. wheat plantings for 2017 fell to the lowest in a century, amplifying the impact of diseases like wheat streak mosaic that can cause local-ized shortfalls, forcing grain buyers to widen their search for supplies.

Proposed federal changes to the taxa-tion of corporations fail to take into account that farms are not like other

businesses and will result in larger, more vulnerable farms and increased risk for Canadian taxpayers.

The proposed rules have been criticized by many different business sectors, but they would be particularly detrimental to primary agriculture.

About 27 percent of farms operate as incor-porated businesses, producing more than 65 percent of agricultural receipts.

Even the largest of these are still small com-panies and with rare exceptions are family-run operations. They are not like larger, multi-shareholder manufacturing or service opera-tions. And none of the so-called farm corpo-rations have much in common with publicly traded or larger private companies when it comes to ownership and dividend structures.

The new rules, as proposed, seek to create new or improved tax streams for government. However, they fail to take into account that farms are different from other businesses. As well, some confusion may exist in bureau-cratic circles about the term “corporate farm”.

Red barn syndrome is responsible for many misconceptions about agriculture. Many non-farmers think that either diverse, non-farming shareholders are invested in incor-porated farms, or that large, millionaire farm-ers, without dirt under their fingernails and with profit-driven motivations prevent true red barn farmers from enjoying their liveli-hoods.

Neither stereotype has a basis in fact and our government should know better.

The creation of new tax rules that would undermine multi-generational family farms shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

It certainly should not have gone ahead with only a limited review and comment period coinciding with harvest. That illustrates a lack of awareness about the demands of farming by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Primary agricultural production in Canada is almost never the target of outside investors or public companies. No business model with operationally divorced investors, unless they are high-wealth folks taking the very long view of agriculture, would be able to raise money for it; it’s too vulnerable to the outside forces that plague farming.

The industry is on the downward slope of the biggest commodity price bubble in recent memory. From the outside, looking in, some-one might conclude that farming, especially grains and oilseeds, might be taking advan-tage of Canadian corporate taxation strate-gies, and thus may be ripe for the picking.

Unlike other corporate entities, farms are unique in their ability to ask shareholders for the previous years’ dividends and equity back when times get tough.

Farms run on very low return on invest-ment. They are capital-asset-dependent family businesses where gains in equity are not tied entirely to added productivity or operational returns. Assets gained are nearly always land, and without it most of these businesses cannot withstand the cyclical nature of agriculture.

Among other things, the ability to more thoroughly tax those asset gains when they pass from one generation to the next is being targeted in the proposed CRA rules changes.

If all of the capital gains are taxed during the transitions between farm generations, much of the capital will have to be sold to accom-modate the payments.

The result will be fewer, larger farms that are more prone to failure due to lower levels of capitalization and higher debt-to-asset ratios. That’s not likely the intention of the government policy.

At the very least, the federal government needs to review the consequences of the new rules and extend the consultation period.

WPEDITORIAL OPINION

In Parliament’s esteemed Cen-tre Block, there’s a room tucked just outside of the Parliamen-

tary Library off of the main Hall of Honour.

It’s called the reading room. It’s also home to a bit of an agriculture-related mystery. To the average visitor, it may appear to be simply another room – albeit a large one with a distinctive fireplace, ornate ceiling, stunning oak panelling and several large portraits.

Today, it hosts parliamentary receptions, committee hearings, the governing party’s weekly cau-cus meetings, and press gallery muggings where departing journa-

lists are celebrated by their peers.To historians, the room is a cher-

ished piece of parliamentary his-tory that dates back to before Con-federation when members of Par-liament needed a room in which, well, to read.

Historical records show the room was traditionally stocked with newspapers, periodicals and up to 20,000 books. Chairs and tables ensured MPs looking for a place to read outside of the overcrowded library could find a spot.

The original reading room is also where the famous 1916 fire that destroyed much of Centre Block is believed to have started.

Today’s reading room, rebuilt after the 1916 fire, was designed by John A. Pearson and Jean O. Marchand.

Pearson apparently wanted the room to have distinctive murals and asked the joint committee of MPs and senators overseeing the reconstruction project for permis-sion to spend $19,000 to commis-sion then well-known Canadian

artist Arthur Crisp in 1920. The project was completed two years later.

The entire project consists of 17 panels, which have served as a use-ful distraction to the odd parlia-mentary reporter, who has found themselves stuck in the room monitoring a filibustering commit-tee late into the evening.

In fact, the idea for this column may have originated from one such evening.

You see, most of the murals in the room appear to have a distinct con-nection with the written word.

For instance, the painting over the fireplace is called The Spirit of the Printed Word, complete with a sym-bolic holding the torch of knowl-edge and three birds (a dove, a pigeon and raven) representing good news, the transmission of news (journalists in the early 1900s often relied on carrier pigeons to get their copy in by deadline) and bad news. Two boys holding pieces of a printing press complete the picture.

Another portrait in the room is

called The Printed Word. It features four men gathered around a print-ing press reading the newspaper.

In one corner of the room, there is a mural (called The East) that shows a man checking an invento-ry list as men lug bags of grain, fruit and fish through a Canadian sea-port, while another (The North) has a group gathered around a map. There’s even a painting dedi-cated to British Columbia’s lumber industry – called The West. After all, you need pulp to make paper.

The paintings’ connections to the printed word is easy to discern. That is except for one.

This mural features a woman feeding chickens while two men and a child stand alongside a cow under what looks to be a blossom-ing apple tree. Grain fields are noticeable in the background. There is no paper to be seen.

Huh?Having spent more hours than

one would care to admit trying to puzzle out the connection between that painting and the printed word,

it was time to bring in the experts. The very friendly parliamentary

librarian was a little surprised, and clearly bemused by my request: What’s the story behind the por-trait of farming and wheat in the reading room?

She promised to try and find out. A few days of research later, an answer landed in my inbox.

Turns out the painting – called simply The South – has no connec-tion to the written word whatsoev-er. Instead, it’s one of four region-ally inspired murals within the room that shows Canada’s impor-tant eras (epochal development).

The portrait merely “depicts agri-cultural activity, illustrating fertile fruit farms and grain fields…in Ontario. (Apparently, the Library of Parliament found, at the time Crisp was painting the murals, grain fields symbolized the prov-ince of Ontario, not the Prairies.)

Who knew?

BY THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization welcomes the UN security

council’s recognition of conflict as a major cause of famine, and the call to enhance longer-term recov-ery and resilience of conflict-affect-ed countries.

FAO’s response comes after the UN security council adopted a statement acknowledging the link between conflict and famine.

“We know through our work that countries with the highest levels of food insecurity are also those most affected by conflict,” said FAO Director-General José Graziano Da Silva.

“FAO reaffirms our commitment to work with the UN system and member nations to address con-flict-related food insecurity, and we echo the security council’s call for greater access in conflict-affect-ed countries so we can reach those in need,” he said.

The world faces one of the largest food crises in 70 years, with 20 mil-lion people in four countries, northeastern Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen, at risk of famine.

If no action is taken, an additional 10 million people will be threat-ened by famine.

In fact, civil conflict is the driving factor in nine of the 10 worst humanitarian crises, underscoring the strong link between conflict and hunger.

Post-conflict countries with high food insecurity are 40 percent more likely to relapse into conflict within a 10-year time span.

FAO has long raised awareness on the link between conflict and hun-ger, including when the director general addressed the security council in July.

FAO, with the European Union, the World Food Program and other partners, provides regular updates on food security to the UN security council and publishes an annual Global Report on Food Crises.

In a marshland area of South Sudan, the link between conflict and famine is clear. Families have fled violence to seek safety in the swamp, but they have very little means to feed themselves and hunger levels have soared.

They are surviving on life-saving deliveries of food and fish they catch themselves using emergency fishing kits provided by FAO.

Agriculture is often the main live-lihood for the majority of people in conflict-affected situations, even as violence rages around them. FAO works with its partners in often extremely challenging security contexts to provide rural livelihood support.

In Syria, for example, an FAO sur-vey in 2016 found that more than 75 percent of households in rural areas still grow food for their own consumption, even if at a reduced scale.

Investing in sustainable food pro-duction can also be a pathway to peace. FAO has developed a corpo-rate peace-building policy to amplify its contribution to conflict prevention.

In Colombia, FAO has partnered with the country’s Rural Develop-

ment Agency to support policies aimed at restoring rural areas that were affected by armed conflict, to bolster the peace process by rebuilding rural communities, and to increase the country’s agricul-tural competitiveness.

Combining efforts to restore and support resilient livelihoods with peace-building and conflict-resolution efforts is critical for sustainable development and food security.

Equally, investing in food security may strengthen efforts to prevent conflict and achieve sustained peace.

& OPEN FORUM

FOOD SECURITY

Conflict resolution key to famine issues

The Food and Agriculture Organization is an agency of the United Nations.

Cellular signals have become an anchor for many of the precision agriculture tools

that have been or are being devel-oped for the industry.

Trouble is, farming is small when it comes to telecommunications. Farming is relatively small for IT in general. Everything for ag costs more because developers and sup-pliers have to earn enough to make it worth their time and investment when so few units are sold.

When telephone was rolled out for farms, like electrification, it was done by governments looking to improve ag production, rural health and — and maybe the tax base.

One need only look at the lack of yard lights shining in the rural night compared to even a decade or two ago to get a basic understanding of how few farms there are.

Despite the numbers, their needs for technology have grown, as the tools to help them to remain com-petitive in a global commodity market are more and more based on sophisticated technologies.

Governments and the public want producers to become more efficient, making the best possible use of fertilizer, pesticides and fuel — lowering their carbon footprints — while improving soil health and keeping prices for their food prod-ucts low. Further, farmers are expected to ensure they are miti-gating their income risks to weath-er, international market swings and currency fluctuations. In short, growing more with less.

Cellular technology is key to pro-viding machine guidance in the field, a digital data flow between farm offices, managers, agronomic support providers and equipment, making agriculture more precise. It also is playing an increasing part in providing high-speed internet to farms.

Information has long been recog-nized as the key to farm improve-ment and increased food produc-tion from a fixed land base.

Despite governments’ attempts to abandon extension agrology it still exists and the need for it has never been greater as the technolo-gies of today often leap ahead, challenging producers to keep up.

Like rural phone and electricity of 60 to 70 years ago, the need for cel-lular connection is not something farmers can do for themselves, although a few co-ops did.

Cellular availability is not just a convenient tool of social media or a handy communications tool. It is the basic utility of today. Improving its accessibility needs to be rec og-nized as a step for the public good and be supported as such.

Even though yields are down and the price is not inspiring, canola is the crop that will

pay the bills on a lot of prairie farms this year.

However, if you farm in an area that can grow large green lentils or chickpeas, those crops show returns that eclipse canola.

While the recent estimates from Statistics Canada show average canola yields of around 39 bushels per acre in both Alberta and Mani-toba, Saskatchewan’s average yield is pegged at only 32, reduced from the five-year average due to hot, dry weather.

Assuming a canola price of $10.50 a bushel, the average canola crop in

Saskatchewan generates a gross return of around $336 an acre.

That towers over most other crops, but it must be noted that with high seed costs and a high nitrogen requirement, canola is more expen-sive to grow than many other crops.

Saskatchewan’s average spring wheat yield is estimated at 37.5 bushels an acre. Assuming a price of $6.50, that’s a gross return of $240 an acre.

Durum has a much lower average yield of 27 bushels per acre because it’s grown predominately in south-ern areas more affected by drought. Durum prices have been dropping quickly.

Whereas, $9 a bushel was avail-able for some of the first durum harvested, the price now appears to be in the $7.60 range generating an average gross return of just $205 an acre.

StatsCan pegs the average barley yield in Saskatchewan at about 57 bushels an acre, well below Alber-ta’s 68 bushels and the 70 bushels assumed to be the average in Mani-toba.

In many areas of Saskatchewan, a feed barley price of around $3.30 appears to be available, generating an uninspiring gross return of just $188 an acre.

If you’re able to sell your barley f o r m a l t i n g , t h e e c o n o m i c s improve substantially.

The average flaxseed yield in Sas-katchewan is only 18 bushels per acre, far below the 29 bushels esti-mated for Alberta. At 18 bushels an acre and a price of around $12 a bushel, the average gross return is only $216 an acre.

Soybean acreage increased dra-matically in Saskatchewan this year, but the early yield estimate of 24 bushels per acre isn’t stellar. Assuming a local price of around $10.50 an acre, the average soy-bean return is around $252 an acre.

In Manitoba, it’s easy to see why soybeans have quickly become an important crop. The average soy-bean yield in that province is esti-mated at 36 bushels per acre, just a few bushels behind canola.

On lentils, there’s a huge differ-

ence in gross return between the red and green types. The red lentil price has slipped to around 21 cents a pound. With a StatsCan estimated yield of 1,166 pounds per acre, red lentils generate a gross return of $244 an acre.

The price for a No. 2 large green lentil is almost exactly double at around 42 cents a lb., generating a gross return of $489 an acre. In fair-ness, red lentils typically yield a bit better than large greens and they’re less expensive to grow because of lower seed costs. Still, large green profitability is going to be far ahead of the reds.

Among the field crops reported by StatsCan, the gross return win-ner by a mile is chickpeas. Average yield is estimated at 1,225 lb an acre. Kabuli chickpeas currently have bids around 63 cents a lb. , generating a gross return of $772 an acre, more than double that of canola.

To the Editor:

Farmers of Canada take note. As you know, we are negotiating the NAFTA agreement with the United States. A few months ago, I heard President Donald Trump say that

water would be on the table. I only heard it once, however if this is cor-rect and the Liberal government does include water in the agree-ment, your irrigation rights will be on the table.

With Trump’s America first poli-cy, what happens when American farmers down river are short of water for irrigating? You will be told to stop irrigating your crops so that American farmers have our water. Water is the life blood of our agri-culture. Contact your MLAs and you MPs to make sure that water is not included in NAFTA. It is no use complaining after we are out of water. Act now.

Former Saskatchewan cabinet minister and Kindersley MLA Bill Boyd will appear in court this fall on environmental charges.

He faces three counts under The Environmental Management and Protection Act, 2010 and one count under The Wildlife Habitat Protec-tion Act (WHPA).

Boyd allegedly altered the shore-line and habitat on farmland near Eston, Sask. If he is found guilty, he could be fined millions of dollars.

According to the government, the land is agricultural Crown land and protected under WHPA.

The shoreline alteration is said to

have occurred on the South Sas-katchewan River sometime this past spring.

Boyd will appear in court Oct. 10.It’s the latest in a series of alleged

wrongdoings by the former MLA. He has been at the centre of con-cerns about overpayments for land for the Global Transportation Hub and most recently was found in conflict of interest for promot-ing a private irrigation company in China.

He has not been in cabinet for a year and announced in August he would resign as an MLA Sept. 1.

After the conflict of interest find-ing, premier Brad Wall kicked Boyd out of caucus.

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall shuffled his cabinet Aug. 30 after five ministers stepped down to run to replace him.

Wall will resign after the Sask-atchewan Party leadership con-vention Jan. 27.

The cabinet now includes six ministers who retained their cur-rent positions, five current minis-ters who changed portfolios, and five new members, four of them first-time ministers.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart retained his ministry and Sask. Crop Insurance responsibilities, as did David Marit in highways and infrastructure. Jim Reiter and Greg Ottenbreit remain ministers of health, and rural and remote health, respectively.

Christine Tell stays at central ser-vices and Joe Hargrave remains at Crown Investment Corporation.

The most notable change was moving Donna Harpauer from government relations to finance. She replaced Kevin Doherty, who moved to advanced education.

Doherty said he had asked to be moved out of finance and even offered to leave cabinet to give someone else an opportunity.

He said he pondered taking a run at the party leadership but ulti-

mately decided he didn’t want the job.

Other re-assigned ministers are: deputy premier Don Morgan, who moves from education to justice; Bronwyn Eyre, from advanced edu-cation to education; and, Dustin Duncan from energy to environ-ment.

Nancy Heppner returns to cabi-net in the energy portfolio.

First-time ministers are Paul Merriman at social services, Steven Bonk in economy, Larry Doke at government relations and First Nations, and Gene Makowsky at parks, culture and sport.

Other appointments include naming Greg Brkich as govern-ment house leader and Warren Kaeding as legislative secretary to the SaskTel minister Hargrave, with responsibility for cellular and internet coverage. Kaeding is already a secretary to Stewart for irrigation expansion.

Cabinet ministers who resigned were Tina Beaudry-Mellor, who had been in social services, Jeremy Harrison, economy, Gord Wyant, justice, Ken Cheveldayoff, parks, and Scott Moe, environment.

Senior civil servant Alanna Koch also took a leave from her job as deputy minister to the premier to seek the party leadership.

sands of workers from all over the world.

Southwestern Manitoba’s small oilpatch has drawn in a similar mix of the world’s workers, some of whom have settled there perma-nently even as the oil and gas boom subsides.

That’s no different from most of rural western Canadian history. Ever since settlement began, waves of immigrants have arrived to find better jobs or lives than what exist-ed back in the old country. All of us who aren’t indigenous have fami-lies that came from somewhere else.

When I was a kid my father would take me to rural communities across Saskatchewan, and I remem-ber finding how exotic it seemed to walk into the local diner and hear everybody speaking some lan-guage that was not English or French.

There was a lot of Ukrainian and French being spoken as first lan-guages back in the early 1970s, plus other European languages I had to guess at, depending on the local population.

That seemed to fade through the 1980s, 1990s and into the early 2000s, as the western rural econo-my stalled and resident popula-tions got older and older, more and more English-speaking and “Cana-dian,” with little new blood coming in.

But in many parts of the Prairies, it’s changed a lot since the begin-ning of the 2000s, with all sorts of new diversity of ethnicity, language and race arriving and integrating.

This seems to surprise urbanites when they visit rural places. It also often surprises many rural visitors who go out of their own regions.

It’s surprising, but it shouldn’t be. It’s the way it’s always been. Rural areas are the places where millions of Canadians have been Canadian-ized over more than a century, and it’s still the case.

But it’s still a surprise for many to find it out there, and for most of us it’s a pleasant surprise that reveals the vitality of rural areas.

My kids didn’t notice anything special in the playground in St. Pierre-Jolys, during the Frog Fol-lies. They played with Latino kids, African kids, kids whose parents were speaking French and Ger-man, and I think even Russian.

That’s just Canada, and it’s nor-mal.

[email protected]

My wife was pleasantly sur-prised to hear all the Spanish being spoken

around the “Frog Follies” festival in St. Pierre Jolys a few weeks ago.

There were also quite a few Africans.

And as you should expect, lots of French and Low German being

spoken. The French comes from the original settlers, with German from Mennonites and Hutterites, who soon followed into the area. Latino and African immigrants have arrived in recent years to fill jobs in rural Manitoba, but for which many native-born Canadi-ans don’t apply.

In other words, it was a typical situation of diversity for many Prai-rie small towns, but not one that many people outside those towns seem to realize is the reality.

People in farm country also often seem surprised by the various forms of cultural, ethnic, language and racial diversity that you can find out in rural areas. They are used to whatever their local situa-

tion is, because whatever any-body’s used to is “normal,” but the unique mix in other communities can be a surprise.

I get out to a lot more of farm country than most people, includ-ing most farmers, and I’ve lived all over Western Canada, visiting hun-dreds of communities over my 26 years of reporting.

But I still find pleasant surprises when I come across some popula-tions of people I wasn’t expecting to come across, such as a crew of African welders I ran into a couple of years ago.

There’s a constant ebb and flow of immigrant populations settling in and moving through rural Manito-ba, my home province, just like

there is in Winnipeg and other big Canadian cities, although most towns tend to have one or two sig-nificant immigrant populations, rather than the smattering of everything you find in the cities.

Community benefits

Portage La Prairie has a burgeon-ing Filipino population, providing the local hog slaughter plant and other employers with much-need-ed workers, and the local Roman Catholic diocese with much-need-ed worshippers.

The southeastern Mennonite heartland is still mostly Menno-nite, but its booming industrial growth has been pulling in thou-

LAURIER, Man. — Manitoba’s Outstanding Young Farmer nomi-nees know the value of hard work.

“Ever ything we have, we’ve worked for,” said Clint Desjardins, who operates Cattle Drive Ranch east of Riding Mountain national park with his wife, Shannon.

“Clint is never happy unless he’s doing something. He needs to be busy,” said Shannon, citing how her role in the daily farm work has decreased since their girls Brook-lyn, 6, and Alexa, 7, arrived.

They started with nine cows in 2002 and nine bred heifers on six quarters of land, and bought four more ranches over the past 11 years.

Together, they have 800 head of commercial cattle and feed pro-duction on 1,600 acres of land. The purchase of a 99-year crown lease gives them another 24,000 acres of pasture land 100 miles to the north.

“We’ve grown it together,” said Clint.

The couple shares decision-making for the farm, with Shannon overseeing the farm’s accounting.

She is currently the secretary-treasurer for the Turtle River school division, while Clint’s past off farm work included five years in the oil patch. To supplement their farm income, Clint does custom cat work in the winter and is getting into the custom silage business.

This year has been good to the Desjardins. In addition to the OYF nomination, the weather has

helped them produce good feed for their herd. Past years of flooding and rain reduced pastures to fields of cattails and ruts, they said.

They live in a refurbished home where Clint grew up and on farm-land best suited for raising cattle like his grandfather, Tony, and father, Alexis, did.

In his youth, Clint swore he’d never farm, but today he calls live-stock his passion.

“I go to bed thinking about cattle,” he said. “If you enjoy what you do, you never work a day in your life. The rewards outweigh the chal-lenges,” said Clint.

Through the summer, they check on cattle up north every few weeks, placing bales in the fall to round them up by horseback, ATV or on foot.

Their cattle are trucked both ways, with Clint and a neighbour flying over their leased land to locate any strays in the fall.

Back at the Laurier farm, the cat-tle are sorted, fattened and mar-keted at the nearby Ste. Rose du Lac auction mart.

“The margins are thin so you bet-

ter sell a lot of calves or a lot of bushels of grain,” said Clint.

“At the end of the day, you can put seed and fertilizer in the land but the Good Lord gives you the rain to feed the cows and the crops.”

He prefers the auction mart to farm sales, saying it’s better to have six guys in a ring bidding up to the best price possible.

“Two extra bids pays for the com-mission,” he said.

Ste. Rose du Lac calls itself the cattle capital but Clint sees cattle numbers down from past years.

“Everyone wants to grow grain. It’s a lot easier way to make a living,” he said.

A scarcity of farm labour is anoth-er factor, said Clint.

He relies on help from local retirees but knowing that labour pool won’t last forever, he is try-ing to make herd improvements each year. That includes creat-ing low maintenance animals, calving in April and minimizing

the workload.The Desjardins’ management

strategy for their operation involves expanding when cattle prices are low.

“BSE was great for us. We bought heifers at $800,” said Clint.

“When cattle prices are high, we invest in land, equipment. When it’s low, we invest in cattle,” he said.

Shannon said they manage costs and seldom take more than a trip in

the RV to a nearby lake.“We don’t go on holidays, we

invest in this operation,” she said.That suits her girls, who both

enjoy farm life.“The oldest would rather be here

any day of the week,” said Shannon.The Desjardins have travelled to

attend the OYF awards event, where they were runners-up, and cattle association meetings to learn more about their industry, but Clint said much of his education has come from the success of older ranchers.

The children know the borders of the property, they know not to approach a moving tractor or to go in a pen without an adult, their par-ents said.

Most Sundays, the Desjardins can be found enjoying time together at church and riding horses on the farm.

“This is what we do, it’s a labour of love,” said Clint.

When preparing meals for the field or school lunch-es, master mixes are

convenient. The large batch mea-suring and mixing of the dry ingre-dients and fat make the ingredients ready for quick preparation of a variety of fresh baked items like biscuits, pancakes, waffles, muffins and cookies.

Commercially available biscuit or pancake mixes are comparable products. With the economical home-prepared version, additives are avoided and the salt can be reduced.

Several university extension divi-sions researched and developed homemade master mix recipes during the 1930s and 1940s.

My mother-in-law, Marie Deo-bald, often mentioned that she used these mixes when preparing meals for threshing crews, while working as a hired girl.

Their convenience for the busy cook still makes these recipes use-ful today.

MASTER MIX

9 c. all-purpose white flour 2.25 L 1/3 c. baking powder 75 mL 1 tbsp. salt 15 mL 1 tsp. cream of tartar 5 mL 1/4 c. sugar 60 mL 1 1/2 c. powdered skim 325 mL milk (optional for a milk-free version) 1 lb. cold vegetable 454 g shortening

For a whole-wheat mix, replace four cups (1L) white flour with whole-wheat flour.

In large bowl or food processor, combine all dry ingredients. Mix well. Cut in shortening using a pas-try blender or process to a cornmeal texture. Place in airtight container or large sealable plastic bag. Label and store in a cool, dry place. Use within three months or freeze.

FLAKY BISCUITS

3 c. master mix 750 mL 2/3 c. water, milk or cream 150 mL

Preheat oven to 450 F (320 C).Combine the master mix and liq-

uid in bowl, mix with a fork until dough sticks together.

Gather dough together and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Pat the dough down, then fold in half and then in quarters onto itself. Pat down again and refold, repeat four to five times. This produces the flaky layers. Finally, press down to 1/2 inch (1 cm) thickness, cut with a floured small glass. Distribute across the cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.

This dough can also be used to make individual pizzas or hand held pies with fruit or pizza fillings.

DROP BISCUITS

This dough can be used for bis-cuits, dumplings or fruit cobblers.

3 c. master mix 750 mL 3/4 c. milk, water or cream 175 mL

Preheat oven to 450 F (320C).Combine the master mix and liq-

uid in bowl, mix just until blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.

DUMPLINGS

Drop by tablespoonfuls over top of boiling stew. Boil gently 10 min-utes uncovered, cover and cook over medium high heat 10 more minutes until cooked through.

FRUIT COBBLER

Drop spoonfuls over top of hot, sweetened fruit or berries and bake in an eight-inch (20 cm) square pan for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

BISCUIT VARIATIONS

For either type of biscuit, add to dry ingredients:

1/3 c. grated cheddar 75 mL cheese and/or chopped parsley, chives

Cook in a non-stick pan on medium heat for four minutes until browned on both sides. Makes 10 to 12 pancakes.

WAFFLES

The pancake batter can be used to make waffles on an oiled, pre-heated waffle iron. Bake until gold-en brown, about five minutes.

MUFFINS

Endless variations of muffins can be created using this method.

2 1/2 c. master mix 650 mL 1/4 c. sugar 60 mL 1 egg, beaten 1 c. milk or water 250 mLAdditional ingredients: 1/2 c. raisins, dates or 125 mL nuts, finely chopped 1 c. blueberries, 250 mL saskatoons, chopped rhubarb or grated raw apple 2/3 c. fresh cranberries,

BY SHERI HATHAWAYFREELANCE WRITER

Disaster can happen to anyone at any time. Both the memory of the event and the victims’ reaction to it will affect their decisions for the rest of their lives.

Harold and Louise Hathaway, my parents, were 100 percent hailed out in 1947. This single devastating event caused a landslide of trage-dies that transformed them into different people with a renewed appreciation of life and a cautious decision-making practice.

They were a young couple who had just married two years earlier and had a one-year-old child, Bet-ty Anne.

They had just bought a farm closer to Marwayne, Alta., with better soil. The farm was their sole source of income.

Dad farmed both parcels of land that summer, a distance of about 12 kilometres.

When the hailstorm had passed, he drove out to look at the crops.

“‘When I saw that the crops on the n e w l a n d w e r e d e s t r o y e d , I thought, well, maybe the old farm was saved, but when I went over there, i t was al l f lat, too’,” he recalled.

Crop insurance was non-existent in Canada at the time. Something had to be done to support his fam-ily so he went north to work for a tree cutting business stacking poles or doing odd jobs.

Mom tried to live on the farm with Betty Anne, but soon became terrified of living alone and asked to move in with her parents in Mar-wayne.

They agreed but weren’t happy about it. Her father was easy-going but her mother believed a wife should remain in the house her husband had provided.

It wasn’t common for an adult child to move back in with her par-ents. Also, her mother wasn’t well and they believed the young family might be a burden.

They allowed her to move into their upstairs space. Mom moved everything she needed herself, even her sewing machine in its cabinet.

While hoisting the machine upstairs, she developed a strangu-lated hernia, a life-threatening condition that caused extreme pain and required emergency surgery.

In the northern bush land, Dad took the call from the doctor in Lloydminster: “If you want to see your wife alive, you better come home now.”

Dad never forgot those words. He collected what scant pay was due him and left immediately.

Mom had the surgery and man-aged to recover. Recovery took weeks, during which time her par-ents cared for Betty Anne when Dad was at work.

Dad looked for work closer to

LOOKING BACK

Family provides comfort aftercrop disaster After being wiped out by hail, Dad heads north to earn a living for the family, but soon faces further tragedy

home, despite losing the higher pay of the northern bush-cutting business.

He sought a job from Mom’s rela-tive, Ted Rae, who managed a lum-ber mart in Marwayne. Rae didn’t need help but felt sorry for the fam-ily’s situation

Dad stocked shelves, stacked lumber in the yard and swept the floor for 50 fifty cents each day, about one-third the normal wage at the time.

The next year, they sold the old farm and the crop on the new farm was successful so they had a reprieve from their poverty. Losing their livelihood took a heavy toll and on a farmer’s small income, it took a long time for them to get back on their feet.

I remember seeing a photo that was taken three years later of my two sisters outside in winter on the front step of the house.

Betty Anne, four, was wearing Mom’s winter boots because they couldn’t afford to buy her new ones. One-year-old Marilyn had hand-me-downs from Betty Anne.

The disasters of 1947 left their mark on my parents and affected future decisions.

After the federal government passed the Crop Insurance Act in 1959, Dad was a faithful subscriber. The risk of hail damage was one of the reasons my mother accepted a teaching position in Marwayne School in 1956.

Dad continued farming until 1992 and was never hailed out again.

If Mom had died in 1947, my brother and I would not exist and Dad and my sister would have lived a different life.

Everyone has done things they are sorry for later and I’m sure lift-ing that sewing machine was a big regret for Mom.

I think she felt relieved when her children were old enough to take

care of things and keep her com-pany when Dad was away.

There will always be risks and devastation from weather. A plan of action can help reduce total failure and prevent increasing the calam-ity by making wrong choices under stress and buying insurance can reduce loss.

What remains most important is the help and support of others in the community in a family’s time of need.

MOSSBANK, Sask. — If Jillian Fehr had any doubt that girls could be anything they want to be, that was put to rest last week during a dream day on the Nagel farm near Mossbank.

The seven year old, who lives with parents, Mitch and Jolene, and her older brothers on an acreage near Assiniboia, Sask., wants to be a farmer.

“Because I can grow my own food,” she said when asked why.

The family runs a meat business, and has backyard chickens and a garden, but doesn’t farm.

When Jolene saw a Facebook link to enter the You Can Be Anything mentorship program, sponsored by Barbie, she knew Jillian had to enter.

“She loves watching things grow,” Jolene said.

The opportunity was open to Sas-katchewan girls and featured a one-day farming experience with Cherilyn Nagel, a farmer and mem-ber of the Global Farmer Network.

To the Fehrs’ surprise, Jillian was

selected.The day included being followed

and interviewed by a film crew and several media outlets. The You Can Be Anything program, sponsored by Mattel, will eventually post a YouTube video of Jillian and Cheri-lyn’s adventure.

Nagel showed Jillian what comes from the crops her family grows. Canola seed eventually becomes canola oil. Lentils make good chili and delicious brownies.

“I got a call in spring inquiring about the program,” Nagel ex-plained. “This is really special for me because I have two daughters.”

They certainly know that women can be farmers and showcasing that possibility to another young girl was important to her.

Nagel said even in an agricultural province, there are many young children who don’t have the chance to experience farming even though it might be a career they’d pursue.

It’s a complex industry with many facets and opportunities, she said.

“It’s difficult to explain agricul-ture to people in Toronto but it’s equally difficult to take the time to explain it to people who are local,” she said.

“Sometimes we take for granted here that everyone knows what we do.”

During the busy harvest time, accommodating Jillian’s first-ever ride in a combine took some co-ordination but her mile-wide smile after riding with Natalie Nagel, Cherilyn’s sister-in-law, and com-bining canola said it all.

“I was really excited,” Jillian said of learning she had won an experi-ence she would treasure.

She also received a package of Barbie products, including Farmer Barbie, which comes dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans and boots and is accompanied by a chicken.

“The idea they would now have a farmer Barbie is about as cool as it gets,” Nagel said, who added she remembers letting her imagination run when she played with Barbies as a child.

Jillian already knows a bit about h e r c h o s e n p r o f e s s i o n . S h e receives a paycheque from her brother for helping with his 100 chickens and is saving her money.

“She’s already got the work ethic and a savings account,” Nagel noted.

Jillian also spent time with Nagel’s daughters, Claire and Addison. Addison wrote and illustrated a book for Jillian about how grain is grown and ends up on ships head-ing to customers.

Mattel’s philosophy is that when girls play with Barbies they imagine everything they can become.

Determining which medical con-ditions are a result of stress is some-what controversial because it is the old nature versus nurture argu-ment. How much is genetic or environmental?

Some people react badly to small stresses, whereas others are far more tolerant due to their more resilient personalities.

At one time, many diseases were believed to be caused by stress and labelled psychosomatic. We now know that many of these problems such as gastric ulcers are caused by physical factors such as a bacterial infection.

Stress is still a major factor in at least 10 significant diseases. Asth-ma may be hereditary and often caused by allergens, but stressful conditions can certainly make it worse.

The same applies to diabetes. Cortisol, the stress hormone pro-duced by the body, can adversely affect blood sugar levels.

It may also lead to stress-induced overeating or binging on the wrong types of food. This naturally would also lead to obesity or even morbid obesity.

Some types of depression and anxiety are caused by stress as well as tension type headaches.

Migraine headaches may have other trigger factors involved, but it is now believed that they are often

made worse or more frequent by high levels of stress.

In a d d i t i o n , s o m e t y p e s o f migraines may be confused with tension headaches. High blood pressure and hypertension are often hereditary or related to kid-ney disease, but stress may affect the upper reading.

Chronic high blood pressure puts the sufferer at higher risk of heart attacks and strokes, among the most common causes of death in Canada.

Some gastrointestinal illness such as chronic heartburn or gas-troesophageal reflux disease as well as irritable bowel syndrome are made worse by stress. Insomnia is often stress-related and this in turn takes a toll on the body and mind.

Farmers are an occupational group who are more at risk of sui-cide than most others. This may be because they are older, male and sometimes alone, which are all risk factors for suicide.

They may turn to alcohol to deal with stress and are more likely to own guns. That’s not a good combi-nation.

Most provinces have free mental health phone lines available and in some areas, if the situation is seri-ous, mental health workers can be dispatched to your address.

Q: I am not sure how to help my husband. I see him looking

through the bedroom window ev-ery morning when we get up.

Apart from a few non-eventful showers, the rains have simply not blessed us this year. I know that my husband is discouraged. He does not say much. I would like him to sit down and talk to someone about how he is feeling. It is hard for him to talk to me.

He seems to think that he has disappointed me and that makes it diffi cult for him to be as open as I might like.

I keep thinking that a good counsellor might help but I am not sure that I can get him to one.

What can I do?

A: A number of years ago, stud-ies on depression talked

about farm life in England. They found that those working and liv-ing on farms were more suscepti-ble to depression than those living in larger urban environments.

People working and living in the country were also less inclined to go for professional help. In other words, those who suffered the most got the least help.

Rural residents did not think that counsellors had enough insight into life on the farm to be of much use to them. They did not think the counsellors really understood their problems.

Can a counsellor know how help-less a person facing a drought feels or share the humiliation of yet again having to talk to the banker?

Can a counsellor know what it is like to have wasted gasoline, time, energy, money and all of those dreams on a crop that disappoint-ed the whole family?

FARM STRESS

Seeking professional help for mental stress not sign of weakness

Q: We have heard a lot about stress in farmers recently.

Does stress actually lead to dis-eases and if so, which ones?

A: Farmers have always been under a lot of stress. The

weather is too wet or dry and crops fail.

One of the biggest stress factors for some farmers is that many live

alone and become isolated from friends, neighbours and family.

In our community, there is a well attended church event that pro-vides coffee, donuts and conversa-tion to local older men, including farmers.

Recent studies from Guelph, Ont., report that small farmers seem to be more at risk than large-scale operators, possibly due to

like to have to say to your children that everyone has to cut back for a while?

This is more than a disappointing crop. For many farmers, a bad year cuts right into the cloth of “who I think I am as a person.”

Fortunately, there are those who can help. Counsellors have learned to appreciate the extent to which farm life can be personally chal-lenging. They know how lonely farmers can feel. They are there to listen, encourage and support

farmers making their way through a difficult year.

It is amazing how once that emo-tional overhang is removed, most farmers can come up strategies for making their way through the tough years.

Lily in the Loft, by Carol L. MacKay, is an inspiring read about farm life seen through the eyes of a young poet. The pages are illustrated by prairie artist Val Moker. | CHRISTALEE FROESE PHOTO

Francis, the young heroine in Carol L. MacKay’s new chil-dren’s book, Lily in the Loft, is

captivatingly c harming.Charming also best describes

Francis’s journey to be published in the pages of The Western Pro-ducer.

The colourful book opens with the aspiring writer observing the pastoral scene of her family’s farm from her perch in the loft of the barn.

Overlooking a field of grazing cattle and acres of ever-evolving crops, Francis fills notebooks with her observations. She writes of cal-ico cats, duck ponds and prairie skies.

The charming children’s book features school-aged suspense as Francis submits her first poem to the newspaper.

Nostalgia seeps into the pages as the picture book brings to life the Young Co-operators’ Club.

The YC club, which consisted of two pages in The Western Pro-ducer dedicated to young writers, was designed to foster literacy and inspire youth by printing their poems and stories.

Created in 1927 by women’s edi-tor Violet McNaughton, the club became a breeding ground for cre-ative writing, producing profes-sionals like MacKay and others who went on to be poets, novelists, editors, publishers, screenwriters, bloggers and sports writers.

The YC was discontinued in 1994, but left a lasting impact on the liter-ary scene across the Prairies, as evidenced by Lily in the Loft itself and former YC Club member MacKay, a Ryley, Alta., native whose YC pen name was Pepper-mint Patty.

Francis chooses Lily in the Loft as her penname and eagerly awaits word from the section editor, Sister Ann, about the fate of her poem.

The drawings in the book, creat-ed by Saskatchewan artist Val Moker, set the scene of disappoint-ment as Francis runs home from school week after week, hoping to find her poem published in the newspaper.

Moker brings the weekly heart-break lovingly to life on Francis’s face as her mother cradles her when the poem fails to appear in print. Two farm cats, a golden dog and a curious chicken keep Francis company throughout the pages of the book.

The farmhouse scene is set to perfection as Francis opens the newspaper and flips to page 48 to find her poem in print.

This book is a wonderful walk down memory lane for anyone who read the pages of The Western Pro-ducer from 1927 to 1994, and par-ticularly for those who were part of the YC Club. This delightful romp through both childhood and farm life will also appeal to a wider audi-ence.

It’s for anyone who lived on a farm, visited one or was ever inspired by the landscapes of the Prairies.

MacKay and Moker have created a charming stroll through a young girl’s rural life, and in the process, have taken their readers back to an idyllic time filled with haylofts and hope.

If you’ve ever wanted to buy a children’s book that educates, cap-tivates and inspires your little ones about farm life and writing, this is the book.

The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 3, 1942

Soldiers in army depots and basic training centres in Saskatchewan would be granted leave for harvest-ing in that province if circumstanc-es warranted. However, the policy would not apply to soldiers who were expected to move soon to another part of the country or who were in operational positions on the east and west coasts.

A storm of cyclone proportions caused crop and property damage in south-central Saskatchewan that was expected to run into the millions of dollars. Regina bore the brunt of the 135 km-h winds.


British bakers were using less Canadian wheat to make bread. G. Kimber, described as a leading agricultural scientist, told the Brit-ish Association for Science that a new bread-making process had

A ‘great year’ dashed by snow and frost in Sask. and Alta.

made it possible to use a higher proportion of British-grown wheat.

The Canadian Wheat Board restricted shipments to what is now Thunder Bay as the Seafarers Inter-national Union strike entered its third week. The strike-blocked Great Lakes formed a barrier to eastern movement, and the pinch began to be felt at prairie elevators.


Canada resumed wheat ship-

ments to Russia after that country made a $20 million payment and presented a plan on how it intend-ed to reduce its account.

The wheat board had begun refusing to load ships bound for Russia after the country fell $100 million in arrears on its $1.5 billion line of credit.

Crop quality and yield took a hit in large areas of Alberta and Sask-atchewan after snow and freezing temperatures hit the region. “It was looking like a great year, but now it

looks like we’ll just have enough crop to carry on,” said Lloyd Mercer of Lethbridge.


Alberta’s Leduc County banned the production of canola for five years in fields where clubroot had been found.

Twenty-five percent of canola fields had tested positive for the disease, and Rick Thomas of the county’s agricultural services divi-sion said the hard line was justified.

“Canola has been important to the success of farmers in this part of Alberta, and our council has decid-ed to try to stop the spread of this disease,” he said.

The new company that was f o r m e d w h e n Sa s k at c h e w a n Wheat Pool bought Agricore Unit-ed officially received a new name. It was so new that The Western Pro-ducer felt compelled to provide a pronunciation guide — VY-terra.

EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATION GETS NEW PRESIDENT

Wally Butler from Mazergroup has been elected president of the

AG NOTESserving on the inventory finance advisory board for Farm Credit Canada and the agricultural advisory board for Wells Fargo.

He has also played helped guide the strategic plan for Western Equipment Dealers Association, and before that the Canada West Equipment Dealers Association.

TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT HELPS MANAGE RISK

The federal government plans to invest $997,654 for the South Nation Conservation Authority in Winchester, Ont., to develop a hydrologic forecasting model.

The technology will provide farmers with real-time weather and water information to help management decisions.

The 15-month project will construct an integrated groundwater - surface water model using “HydroGeoSphere”, a Canadian hydrologic simulator that predicts water movement on and through the ground.

This data will enhance the conservation authority’s flood forecasting and warning and low water response programs so farmers can properly prepare.

SIMMENTAL ASSOCIATION CONVENTION ELECTIONS

During the 2017 Canadian Simmental Association national convention in New Brunswick, Frank Robblee of Crapaud, P.E.I. was elected to the association’s board of directors.

Lee McMillen of Carievale, Sask., was re-elected for a second term and will serve his second year as CSA president.

Blair McRae of Brandon, was also re-elected and will sit as second vice-president.

Other board members are first vice-president Garth Rancier of Killam, Alta., Dan Skeels of Rimbey, Alta., Francis Gagnon of Cheneville, Que., Roger Deeg of Strathmore, Alta., Marlin LeBlanc of Estevan, Sask., and Larry Barkley of Ingleside, Ont.

A highlight of the event was the Friends of Canadian Simmental Foundation auction, which raised $83,638 to support the foundation’s programming.

Highlights included a bred heifer donated by the Robblee family of Tryon Simmentals, which raised $15,000 and a Simmental 50th anniversary buckle that sold to a group of supporters for $14,500.

Application forms for student scholarships administered by the foundation are expected to be available soon at simmentalfoundation.com.

Canada awarded a gold medal for Field Stone’s black currant fruit wine.

BY KAREN MORRISONSASKATOON NEWSROOM

INGLIS, Man. — Stuart Breckon was suspended high above the prairie, painting an old elevator while his home in Houston, Texas, was being ravaged by Hurricane Harvey.

Breckon, whose face and arms were splattered with white paint, was just one of many senior-aged volunteers who spent close to a week in August at the national his-toric site in Inglis, Man.

Breckon felt a special bond with the elevator once owned by United Grain Growers, where his father once worked as a grain buyer in Homewood, Man.

That meant braving heights of more than 23 metres via a man lift and scaffolding while brush- and spray-painting the 1922 structure and restoring the original UGG crest.

Back in Texas, his family, friends and neighbours were moving his belongings to higher ground due to

flooding and relentless rains that left a half metre of water on the main floor of his home.

He was adamant about preserv-ing prairie heritage.

“This is what we knew, this is our life. All these guys grew up on the Prairies. This is what we knew, our life.

“We’re all 70 now, but this was us when we were kid. We all went to the grain elevator with our dads and hung about.”

The work cost around $10,000 thanks for a host of donations of money, discounted paint and scaffolding.

That compares with the $80,000

paid to a contractor to paint the nearby Reliance elevator on site.

Four of the five elevators, which include a Patterson, two Reliance, a Northern and the UGG, have stood on this site since the year the railway arrived in Inglis.

The last one was built in the 1940s.

“It’s now the only row like it in the world,” said Judy Bauereiss, chair of the Inglis Area Heritage Commit-tee. Her group was formed to main-tain, sustain and enhance the wooden elevators, which became a national historic site two decades ago and require repainting every 15 to 20 years.

They haven’t been used since 1995 when the last rail car loaded grain here.

This is the second year of a five-year plan that included work on the Patterson elevator last year. Bau-ereiss wrote an article soliciting funds and help for the project in the town of 250 residents.

Dale Holaday, who had spent three summers painting elevators

as a student, was one who came forward to help.

The work included climbing up the inside to open a hatch used to attach ropes and cables to scaffold-ing. When one hatch wouldn’t open, he scrabbled across the roof to open it from the outside, he said.

Anchor ropes were attached to a beam inside to keep workers safe on the painting platform, but the work was still not without danger.

Breckon was visibly shaken when cables dropped to the ground between the elevator and its annex less than a metre from where he was standing.

Holaday spent the following week getting massage therapy and still finding bruises.

“I’m a little worn out,” he said.Holaday said an elevator painting

job used to take two weeks with brushes.

“By having platforms, man lifts, booms and sprayers, we sped it up a lot,” he said.

Farmers should benefit from returning to the past with water planning management, said the president of Keystone Agricultural Producers.

And combined with a province-wide environmental compensa-tion program, Manitoba farmers might soon start seeing progress on turning farmers into respected partners in environmental preser-vation.

“This is a very significant change,” said Dan Mazier about a three-pronged provincial government plan to fix and improve water and environmental planning in Mani-toba.

The changes include:• The government is considering

an Alternative Land Use Servic-es (ALUS)-like program to reward farmers who practice environmentally positive opera-tions, such as water retention, grassing vulnerable acres, restoring wetlands and protect-ing streams. The public is being asked for feedback about the idea;

• Cutting red tape and removing unnecessary barriers to drain-age maintenance while boost-ing inspection and enforcement of protections on vulnerable areas;

• Conservation districts will be allowed to cover watersheds, rather than focus on managing water within municipal bound-aries. The districts will be able to work with other bodies within watersheds to undertake larger planning and projects.

“They were never intended to be on municipal lines,” said Mazier about the third initiative. “Over time they slowly got eroded.”

Originally, conservation districts were meant to cover water systems, but soon got tightly connected to underlying municipalities, and slowly lost connection to the water-shed focus.

With better watershed planning and an incentive program for farm-ers, major gains should become possible.

“We’ve never been able to do it” within present planning and finan-cial limitations, Mazier said.

Many grain producers from the Prairies are about to run soybeans through their combines for the first t ime. There was a 40 percent increase of Manitoba soybean acreage over last year and a 250 percent increase of the crop on Saskatchewan fields.

Soybeans are relatively easy to separate, although there are a few things growers should keep in mind when the soybeans are ready to come in.

Harvey Chorney researches har-vest losses for the Prairie Agricultu-re Machinery Institute (PAMI) and he’s also grown soybeans for 15 years on his farm near East Selkirk, Man.

He said soybeans are easy to com-bine because of the large difference between the size of the soybeans and the rest of the plant residue.

“You get good thrashing ability and the separation at the shoe is really easy to set up. It’s not that dif-ficult to set up with the settings that are recommended from the com-bine manufacturers. It’s one of the easy ones,” Chorney said.

“Any farmers comfortable setting up a combine for canola I would believe would have no trouble set-ting it up for beans.”

He said operators will need to reduce the speed of the rotor, yet they still have to run a fairly tight concave adjustment to make sure all of the beans are removed from the pods.

“You don’t want to end up with a bunch of pods in the tank. But you can’t be too tight because you can start crushing beans.”

Chorney said he would be more concerned with having pods in the grain sample then a few crushed beans, because dockage will be worse with the pods.

Operators new to harvesting soybeans have to keep in mind the crop requires approximately ha l f o f t h e l o a d a c o m b i n e’s threshing system is capable of handling, far less then other crops such as cereals, he said.

“The way we grow soybeans in Canada, there is no way you are

SOYBEAN HARVEST RESEARCH

Soybean newbies get tips from expertsPAMI trials examine how to manage ground speed and header equipment to minimize yield losses at harvest

HARVEST TIPS FROM PRODUCER READERS

We asked growers on Facebook for soybean harvesting tips, and here are a few of the responses.

Kory Pick of Macoun, Sask., has grown beans for four years and he loves them. He said they are easy to harvest, stand well and will sit and wait until you’re ready to harvest.“They don’t downgrade like peas, etc. So you can leave them till last and do more grade sensitive crops like durum or lentils and peas. The aerate well, so if it’s hot and dry out you can take them a little tough and fan them down. If it’s tough harvest conditions the pods can get “rubbery” and will not thresh out well. Wait for some sun. Cracks and splits are not dockage. Don’t be too worried when you see that in your sample.”

Christian A. Herrnböck of St. Gregor, Sask., said growers need to be patient and wait for soybeans to adequately dry down.“Don’t put green stems through or you’ll be plugging. They combine great in December too,” Herrnböck said. “They go through like nothing and not as fragile as a pea, set the combine like you would for peas. They don’t need desiccation and once the leaves are off and the stems are reasonably brown they are good to take off.”He also said soybeans do not lose moisture like peas under aeration, they aerate similar to how canola does because they lose moisture slowly.

Christopher Thorson from Penzance, Sask., said he had success aerating his soybean crop last year. “I blew air at 10000 bu. last year and brought them down two points, no problem.”

going to load your combine. The tendency is that if you were used to running grain crops through it and hearing the engine loading, you’re going to be exceeding the speed of your header if you try to push it that far,” Chorney said.

With the soybean varieties grown on the Prair ies the f irst pods formed are just above the ground, and they have the plumpest ker-nels that growers definitely do not want to leave behind.

As much as 80 percent of soybean harvest losses occur at the header, which is why PAMI is running har-vest trials that examine how ground speed and a header equipped with an air reel effect losses.

Lorne Grieger of PAMI said har-vest losses can be around 10 to 15 percent of total yield right at the header, and it’s very easy to go too

fast and miss the bottom pods.“Our research was looking at how

do you manage that harvest condi-tion with your header and ground speed in order to maximize your yield at the end,” Grieger said.

The study examined four harvest speeds two, three, four and five miles per hour) and two auger headers were used. The difference between the straight-cut headers is that one was equipped with an air reel system.

“We looked at an air reel or air knife system where you blow air across the cutter bar and try to blow any seeds that were cut but not necessarily captured back into the header and eventually through into the grain tank,” Grieger said.

He said adding an air reel can significantly reduce losses.

The overall difference between

the two headers was 1.25 bushels per acre, with the air reel having reduced losses across all speed treatments by about 55 percent.

Harvest speed has a significant effect on header losses beginning at around five miles per hour.

The slower speed treatments of two, three, and four m.p.h. had about .69 bu. per acre losses and there were little differences be-tween these slower treatments.

But once speed was increased to five m.p.h. a .85 bu. per acre loss was observed, up nearly 40 percent from the slower speed treatments.

Grieger said it is clear that cutting is the limitation when it comes to soybean harvest and that slowing down and cutting as low to the ground as possible can make a major difference in terms of har-vest losses.

Soybeans can be harvested at moisture levels of 20 percent or less, but must be stored at 14 per-cent moisture or lower.

The optimum harvest moisture range for soybeans is 13 to 15 per-cent to achieve minimum field losses and maximum weight.

Harvesting below 12 percent moisture content can increase damage to the soybeans and shat-tering losses.

Chorney said moisture content of beans varies throughout the day so some growers start early in the morning, 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., when the beans are a little bit damp. This enables growers to blend the early morning harvested soybeans with afternoon harvested soybeans that can be drier than they need to be.

Farmet Softer seeds at 13 m.p.h.Disc drill prepares seed bed and puts down fertilizer in the fall and seeds in the spring

BY RON LYSENGWINNIPEG BUREAU

LANGHAM, Sask. — Andreas Bohn doesn’t like wasting time. He runs a Czech-built Farmet Softer eight-metre disc drill at 13 miles per hour when seeding his 2,500 acre farm at Prince Albert, Sask.

He typically seeds a quarter sec-tion per day with the high-speed Softer. Bohn explains the machine was originally designed to incorpo-rate organic material in the fall, but it also works well for seeding and a granular application.

“On our farm, we work every square foot in the fall if we can, if weather allows. Just one pass with the Farmet makes the seedbed ready for spring,” says Bohn.

“In the fall, we use our big Cana-dian built tow-between air cart from the hoe drill, and we put down granular fertilizer. Disc everything and put down fertilizer. So then we’re ready to seed when spring comes.

“We have some big seeding equipment. We have a Flexi-Coil hoe drill and also this smaller eight-metre Farmet disc machine with a seeding tool for canola. We use different drills for different crops and conditions. But the disc drill gives us the best seed place-ment and best germination.”

In the ongoing debate over big/slow versus small/quick, does the Farmet Softer fall into the fast and furious category? Bohn says that’s really not what the debate should be about.

“I always say it depends on what you have in front of you. Consider your trash, soil moisture, how smooth is the surface of the field, weather forecast and everything else in front of you. Then decide what machine to use.

“Sometimes I run 45 degrees to the old seed row. I had started doing that in Germany 40 years ago. But not always 45 degrees. Sometimes 30. Sometimes 20. It’s better if you don’t have too much trash. We can run angles like that on land that had been seeded with a disc drill.

“But if we’re running the Farmet into hoe drill ground, then we run with the old seed rows, with the stubble. Otherwise you can make a big mess.”

Bohn says everything on the Farmet is hydraulically adjustable and there are no electronics. If you approach a wet spot, you lift the machine from the cab and run through on the baskets.

The smallest Softer is a three-metre unit for a three-point hitch. The largest Softer is an 11-metre unit with a list price of C$120,000. Bohn says that in the two years the

drills have been available in West-ern Canada, he has sold a number of units into Alberta and Saskatch-ewan, but not many in Manitoba because he doesn’t yet have a dealer there.

LANGHAM, Sask. — An enor-mous pulling force is required to extract a person buried in grain.

The damage inflicted on the human body by well-intentioned but untrained rescuers can be crip-pling or worse.

That was the message conveyed recently to farmers at the Ag in Motion farm show via a new inter-active demo, hosted by Kendra Ulmer, nurse with the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture.

“A lot of people are skeptical about how tightly grain can trap you. They just don’t believe it. They’ll put their hand straight into a bucket of grain and pull it back out and shrug it off. They’ll say there wasn’t much restriction or force. But grain is deceptive,” Ulmer said to the folks at the Saskatoon area farm show held July 18-20.

She said the demo gives farmers a chance to see first-hand the impact being trapped in grain has on the human body.

The weigh scale shows how much force grain exerts when attempts

are made to try to pull a person out of a grain pile.

To begin the demo, Ulmer buries a five-pound mannequin leg in eight inches of grain. The leg has one cable attached at the ankle and another cable attached at the knee. The cables are connected to a weigh scale. Then she starts lifting the scale and the leg.

“It takes about 35 pounds of force before we start seeing the leg move in the grain. Farmers recognize that if there’s grain just up to the knee on one leg, it’s like a 35 lb. weight on that leg. You may not have the body strength to get out of the situation.”

Then the question arises of what stable item exists in the grain bin that enables somebody to pull or push against to exert that 35 lb. of lift. The frightening answer is that all you have is more grain. Strug-gling with your arms to extract your leg, may bury you deeper.

Thirty-five pounds of lift doesn’t seem like much, but when Ulmer has farmers come out of the audi-ence to raise the scale and lift the leg all the way out of the grain, it’s an eye opener. It quickly sinks in that extricating a whole person safely becomes a major challenge.

“If you’re in up to your waist, it takes about 600 lb. to pull out the average 175 lb. person. If you’re in up to your shoulders or chin, then you need 800 to 900 lb. of force to pull the person out.

“There will be great physical injury to the person if the operation isn’t performed by trained rescuers using equipment designed for grain bin rescue.”

Ulmer says the tabletop leg demo is part of the grain rescue demon-stration trailer created by their partner, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association.

Rural demands

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities passed the following resolution in 2016.

WHEREAS cell phone coverage and internet access in rural Sas-katchewan are nonexistent or unreliable at best; and

WHEREAS municipalities all over the province are losing busi-ness because of poor coverage; and

WHEREAS businesses and indi-viduals in Canada are losing reve-nues because they are having to pay U.S. roaming charges;

BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lob-by the provincial and federal gov-ernments to improve cellphone and internet service access across Saskatchewan as quickly as possi-ble; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these services be available to municipalities and rural residents at a reasonable cost.

SASKTEL

Providing 100 percent coverage is a logistical challenge because Sask-atchewan has the lowest number of people per sq. kilometer in Cana-da, SaskTel spokesperson Greg Jacobs said in a phone interview.

“We do cover 99 percent of the population in the province, but that last one percent is the almost uncoverable one percent,” said Jacobs, adding that people in those locations may need to resort to satellite phones to get reliable cov-erage.

“The significant investment in putting up new towers requires a guaranteed return on investment,” said Jacobs. But SaskTel has a par-tial loophole to manoeuvre around this financial obstacle, called the Community Participation Pro-gram.

“We use this program to over-come that (return on investment) issue and provide service to areas where people feel they don’t have

the level of service they want. We do an economic model to deter-mine what it will cost us to bring the desired level of service and what we will recoup from our invest-ment.

“Then we calculate what the eco-nomic shortfall will be, and we bring this dollar figure back to the community to see if they can cover the shortfall. This way, the people wanting the service have some skin in the game.”

In Saskatchewan, the networks that serve emergency responders are managed by the provincial gov-ernment, not by SaskTel. He says it’s not the best idea to depend on wireless cell service for emergency communications because no com-pany can guarantee that cellular wireless service is 100 percent reli-able. Even with the best equip-ment, there are many factors that can negatively affect wireless ser-vice.

On the topic of donated hilltops, Jacobs says land is a significant fac-tor in establishing new tower sites. However, the cost of bringing infra-structure to a new location are generally greater than the cost of land.

“Land costs do factor into the equation, however they are not the bulk of the investment. In our Community Participation Pro-gram, donated land might be one of the items that make up the short-fall. But the equation varies a lot from one tower to the next, so we

The coloured maps depicting cellular service across the Prairies don’t paint an accu-

rate picture. The dead spots are conspicuous by their absence.

Even the Trans-Canada Highway is pocked with no signal pits.

Many developing nations have better cell coverage at a lower cost, according to Manitoba farmer and entrepreneur Jeff Penner, who spent time in Liberia last summer delivering a V-Wing land scraper.

Penner has suggested that Cana-dian prairie farmers might be will-ing to donate five-acre plots of land on prime strategic hilltops if cell service providers would erect towers.

The Western Producer posed this proposition to Bell-MTS, SaskTel and Telus in Alberta. All three com-panies were asked the same set of six questions. • Why do rural areas have so many

dead cell spots?• Rural people say the basic “build

it and they will come” concept applies. There are numerous economic and educational opportunities they would access if they could. The

The Paris Accord will see produc-ers increase their use of precision agriculture technology. While SaskTel says they applaud the deployment of any new technolo-gies that will mitigate the effects of climate change, they say this solu-tion is only one of many methods being investigated by the federal government.

“SaskTel owns and operates the largest wireless network in the province; reaching 99 percent of Saskatchewan residents. Given the extensive coverage already in place, it should come as no surprise that we have seen large increases in the demand for wireless data over the past number of years.

BELL MTS

The spokesperson for Bell MTS Jeremy Swatzky replied via email.

“Finding an ideal plot of land is a valuable part of the equation when it comes to building a cellular tower and we’re always happy to talk to people who have these types of ideas or suggestions. However, there are a variety of factors that go into choosing the location beyond its physical address.

Cellular tools on the farm are growing faster than the networks that support them. In the vast, 150 million acres that are farmed and ranched in Western Canada cellular service is often defined by the population and potential data charges it creates.

Farmers are becoming fewer and further between, while the technology that supports them has rolled out around population centres and travel corridors. Many coverage gaps still exist on the mobile side.

LTE high speed technology provides data transfer rates that can help empower producers by letting them reach into the wider world with real time experiences, video training and two-way communication, both human and machine, within their industry that will help it grow and prosper, but only where the signals will allow.

This week our farm technology analyst Ron Lyseng talks to three major cellular carriers about coverage in rural areas in Western Canada.

Any farmers who have land that they’d like to discuss with us should definitely reach out and we’d be happy to explore options.

“Bell MTS has begun our five-year, one billion dollar investment plan to bring customers across the prov-ince faster networks and improved communications services in urban, rural and remote areas alike. We understand the importance of broad availability and reliability of communications services and note that Bell MTS wireless coverage already reaches 97 percent of Mani-toba’s population.

“However, as is the case for all cel-lular providers, the costs associat-ed with network expansion in some rural and remote areas are significant and cannot be support-ed by Bell MTS alone. If we can’t make a business case for invest-ment in certain areas, then the


When Jeff Penner travelled to Liberia last year, he had excellent cellphone

service everywhere, from down in the deepest darkest jungle swamp up to the highest remote mountain peaks.

“Last June, I spent 10 days around Greenville, Liberia, in the heart of the African jungle, where Ebola started,” says Penner.

“I had four bars on my smart phone everywhere I went. It was crystal clear service at a fraction of what we pay here. If we can’t keep up with communications technol-ogy in a Third World country, then what’s wrong.”

Ironically, when Penner stands in his own farmyard at Swan River, Man., he can see the nearest MTS tower about seven kilometres away, but he can’t get cell service. He points out that it’s the same shabby deal for farmers and people in small towns across the Canadian

Prairies. He says there are hun-dreds of potentially valuable ser-vices for farmers and rural busi-nesses, if only they could access them. But they can’t.

“In our modern cellular world, service should be seamless, espe-cially when safety is an issue and human lives are at stake. There are many cell dead spots along the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border. We’ve had school buses in minus 40 getting stuck and the driver had to walk to the nearest farm to use a landline to call for help.

“That’s not the only issue. We’ve had farm accidents in our area, arms caught in augers and people run over by machinery. The ambu-lance cannot always find these people. The ambulance is all over the place trying to find the victim. We had one instance when a young child drowned in a pool and the ambulance couldn’t find the loca-tion for six hours. It’s just plain sad.”

Penner says people in his area have gone to great lengths to get cell service.

He said the old cell phone TDMA systems were reliable and had decent signals, but with the new technology, people can have four bars on the phone and still can’t make a call.

“In my area, I can see the tower. I can see it blinking at me, but I can’t get cell service. A lot of it has to do with bad tower location. Why don’t they at least put the towers up on high hills so they function properly?

“More towers and repeaters would give us better GPS accuracy. We’re supposedly moving into a new technological frontier, but rural people are being shut out because we don’t have access to the communication technology.

“If I could donate five acres for a tower, I’d gladly do that. I think other farmers would too. So let’s get farmers to donate five-acre plots of land in key locations so the service providers can set up towers or repeaters or boosters that work. It’s well worth the cost of five acres of land.”

In the south, they have announced plans to ensure continuous broad-band wireless coverage along Highway 75 from Winnipeg to the United States border at Emerson.

On a broader scale, they are in the process of expanding and upgrad-ing our province-wide wireless LTE network to LTE-Advanced, which will double current wireless data speeds. They are on track to have about 90 percent of the network upgrade to be completed by the end of 2017.

TELUS ALBERTA

Telus spokesperson Douglas Self responded with the following statement:

“Telus already covers 99 percent of the population in Alberta, and this year we announced we are investing $4.2 billion across Alber-ta through 2020. We expanded our coverage in Manitoba. Telus now has the province’s largest 4G LTE network, covering 97 percent of Manitobans.

“In some very remote areas it’s incredibly challenging to provide wireless coverage due to the topog-raphy of the land and lack of power sources. Enhancing coverage to cover more Canadians is a chal-lenge that the entire telecommuni-cations industry is tackling.

“Before the end of the year, Telus will have invested more than $150 billion in capital and operations to build and support network infra-structure across Canada since 2000.

PRECISION AGRICULTURE THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 57

So far in this series of articles on telemetry, I’ve written about how wireless signals

work, how telemetry works and what it can do.

What is missing is how to actually set it up to operate.

Most of the time it sounds easier than it actually is. The good news is that precision ag companies have integrated systems that do most of the setup for you.

Telemetry refers to wireless transfer of data, though precision agriculture has focused on the transfer of field data to and be-tween the field, office and vehicles.

Walkie talkies and CB radios are wireless devices. They are set up by merely tuning each of the trans-mitting and receiving devices to the same channel or radio fre-quency.

Another example is the data transfer between RTK mobile base stations and field rovers.

An RTK base station requires a radio that is configured as a transmitter, as well as other set-tings such as a specific frequen-cy, type of signal, an ID code and possibly the baud rate, which is the rate at which electrical sig-nals are transferred. Most of the time, manuals provide recom-mended settings.

The rover GPS must also have a radio but be configured as a receiv-er with all the same settings. If the settings are different, the transmit-ter and receiver don’t “talk” and no data is transferred. Most mobile RTK bases work on a similar basis: a transmitter for output of data and a receiver for input of data using radio signals.

The growth of telematics in recent years is largely due to the increased use of cellular signals, which is where telematics gets more complicated.

Cellular signals are used by cell-phones and include a nationwide network. The modem is the basic part of a cellphone, which transfers voice and data to a wireless signal. A gateway modem is a device that connects the cellular signal direct-ly to the internet, or possibly other networks.

I have a dumb phone, which is to say a phone that provides only voice service and not data service. I have an iPad that provides data service but not voice service.

Most of you have a smartphone that receives both voice and data service.

As a result, you contract with a carrier for a voice plan and a data plan that is paid monthly. In preci-sion agriculture, most companies rely on a modem and cellular data service to transfer data between devices and thus require a monthly data plan fee.

So how does a precision agricul-ture telemetry system work with cellular data?

As an example, I’ll use the trans-fer of sensor data from the field to a user’s smartphone or tablet.

A field sensor may be an ET (evapotranspiration) sensor in an orchard, a temperature gauge in a grain bin or a fill level sensor in a storage tank. This would be data that can be sent to the office or smartphone on a regular interval instead of a person travelling to every location to collect the data on a USB stick or manual transfer.

First, there needs to be a transmit-ter at each sensor.

If there is only one sensor, it might be directly connected to a modem, which moves the data into a cellu-lar signal.

If there are multiple sensors, such as a set of ET sensors, then there is likely something known as a “sink” with a gateway modem. All of the ET sensors are using a radio fre-

quency to transmit data to the sink, which collects them. The gateway modem then sends them out as a cellular signal.

So where is the data being sent?In most cases it is being sent to the

Internet of Things (IoT).

If you haven’t heard of the IoT, it’s the same old internet with which you are familiar, but IoT is the part that connects all those other “things,” such as sensors in preci-sion agriculture.

Data can go a lot of places once it’s in the internet. Most likely it goes to a computer server to be stored and

becomes part of a database.From there it may be displayed on

a website, which people can go to and look at the sensor information.

It could be made available direct-ly to a cellphone in the form of a text message.

Or it might just be available to a few people, who can access the computer server for their own use.

Each system will be different, but if you are a user of a wireless net-work, you will likely have a user name and password that provides you access to all the data in one or more ways.

Another major use of telemetry is transferring data between vehicles or implements in the field.

Each vehicle will share guidance lines, harvest data or coverage maps to identify what the other machines have done. Allowing a fleet of vehicles or implements to communicate in this way requires a modem in each vehicle and a data plan to carry the data through a cel-lular network.

The home office would also have the same modem, which allows all field data to be shared at the office. This is real time as the data is being collected, viewed and stored.

BY MICHAEL RAINESASKATOON NEWSROOM

DECATUR, Ill. — New technolo-gies are a hot topic with producers at farm shows this season.

The release of the DOT, autono-mous farming system at the Ag In Motion show in Saskatchewan made a big splash with its promise of removing the tractor from most fields, relying instead on smaller, decentralized power and multiple field tools.

At the United States Farm Prog-ress Show in Decatur, robotics wasn’t as hot a topic as last year, when Case IH and New Holland both released versions of autono-mous tractors.

This year, grain and oilseed grower Todd Olson from southern Minnesota said he came to the show expecting to see more auton-omous tools.

“But hey, I can’t afford to make a change in my systems yet. I have good tractors and recent planters. I bought an air seeder two years ago and will have to pay that off. That was my most recent thinking out-side the box. That and no-till,” he said.

“I’m not on the fence about this. I will buy autonomous machines in my career. I think they will do a bet-ter job of farming than my kids,” he said, poking in the shoulder one of two sons that were walking the big farm show with him.

AUTONOMOUS EQUIPMENT

MARS robot a taste of hired hands of the future? “We need precision in this busi-

ness. We waste as little as we can now. But we overproduce for the market. So, we need to under spend and grow profitable crops without getting the rest of the pop-ulation mad at us or wrecking our soils. It’s technology that will fix that, I think,” he said.

Swarm technology from AGCO will be that company’s move toward an autonomous future.

Its MARS project puts many small farming units into the field, replac-ing seeding and pest control.

Éric Lesscouret of AGCO said the system will lower farmers’ risks and improve efficiency, as well as eliminating compaction caused by some heavy equipment.

The Mobile Ag Robot Swarms c o n c e p t b e i n g d e v e l o p e d at AGCO’s Fendt division in Germany is designed to address some of North American agriculture’s most perplexing issues.

“Bigger isn’t necessarily better. It’s a response to a labour shortage and doing what we know how to do best,” Lesscouret said during the farm show in Decatur.“The tech-nology for this was too expensive for agriculture. There are too few units sold, too few farmers. But technology has gotten a lot cheaper to do now and this isn’t far off.”

That is something Olson would likely agree with.

“I am putting off buying another car right now to see if self-driving will be available in the next couple of years. I think we are on the edge of big change in many things we took for granted as being the way it will always be,” he said.

The AGCO MARS project is in conjunction with the University of Applied Sciences, Ulm in Germany and has been underway for about 18 month. It is expected that farm-ers may get a look at it at the Ger-man farm show Agritechnica.

Each MARS robot has its own planting unit and is electrically driven, recharged by a transport trailer home station.

Communication with the trailer, called the logistic unit, is carried out via the cellular signals to the internet. The logistic unit also han-dles seed and fertilizer or pesticide supply, battery charging and helps with the navigation of the robots.

Task planning, live monitoring and other directions can be carried out with a tablet from any location. The satellite-based navigation pro-vides autonomous operation and geo-referenced record keeping.

Lesscouret said the Python pro-graming is capable of learning as it works, which means the machines get to know the fields, crops and targets better as it works.

“There are sustainability advan-tages that will result in lower costs and higher yields. The units will know each plant. And so can the farmer. The machines use even less power than we might have thought. They are really efficient.”

L esscouret said the system reduces farmer risk of having a single, large machine down at criti-cal times and with robots costing a few thousand dollars each, they are easily scaled for any size farm.

“Lower labour costs, 24-hour operations. These are things farm-ers try to have now b ut this might be the better way,” he said.

LIVESTOCK


Despite recent concerns over the presence of ticks that can cause people to become allergic to red meat, there’s little Canadian pro-ducers and consumers need to worry about, say researchers.

For one thing, there aren’t any reported cases of Lone Star ticks breeding in Canada, according to Shaun Dergousoff, a research sci-entist with Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge, Alta.

“It’s very rare to find a Lone Star tick,” he said.

Plus, the red meat allergy the ticks can trigger in humans is about as common as a peanut allergy, which affects only 0.1 percent of the American population, he added.

“Even if we did have an endemic population, a low proportion of people will get this allergy.”

But that hasn’t stopped some from panicking .

Earlier this summer, concerns were raised after researchers in the Maritimes and Ontario reported that since 2012 they have come across roughly five Lone Stars, which are named after the small white star that’s found on the back of females.

The Lone Star’s bite could cause susceptible humans to produce alpha-gal, an antibody they once didn’t have, roughly one to three

months after they were bitten. The alpha-gal negatively reacts when red meat, gelatin or milk products are consumed.

Humans who get the allergy usu-ally become sensitive to red meat one two three months after the bite. Symptoms, which are usually seen two to 10 hours after a meal, can produce hives or swelling. Serious and potentially life-threatening reactions can also occur.

However, the ticks aren’t re-pro-ducing in Canada and, if they’re found, they’ve usually arrived on travellers or animals from the east-ern and mid-western United States, which is where many Lone Stars breed. Nymphs can also travel via birds.

“They’re way low on the list of worries,” said Janet Sperling, a PhD candidate at the department of biological sciences at the Universi-ty of Alberta, noting she’s seen the occasional Lone Star tick.

CALGARY — As wish lists go, it was long.

Cow-calf producers love the idea of using their smartphone to read cattle tags but conditions in the field call for hardy equipment.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Associa-tion technical services director Mark Klassen was up to the chal-lenge and after the CCA undertook a producer survey and developed a series of prototypes, he said a tag reader powered by smartphone will be available by the end of this year.

It wasn’t easy.“The first challenge that we had

was, producers wanted something that would fit into their Carhartt overalls but yet it needed to read the same range as a bigger reader,” Klassen told those at the recent Canadian Beef Industry Confer-ence.

That related to antenna size. Problem solved. But that was only the beginning.

“Folks said it can be awful loud in the cow-calf environment at times and … we can’t rely on beeps. Let there be lights, they said, and we gave them lights.

“And then they said, well, some-times when we have the reader turned a certain way, we can’t see the lights on that side. So we put the lights on both sides.

“And then they said sometimes we’ve got the big gloves in winter, and they cover the lights. And so we then put on vibration feedback.

“And then they said, sometimes

we’ve got really thick gloves and sometimes we’ve got thin gloves, so we need to adjust the vibration.

“And then they said sometimes we might leave that device in the pasture, or drop it, and we need to be able to see it and find it again. And so we made it a very distinctive colour, orange.

“And then they said if we did drop it, what happens if it was in the water? And so we made it water resistant. We have no buttons to speak of and we’ve used aircraft sourced connections for your

power port.“And then they said, well jeez, it

would be nice if it wasn’t going to drop at all. We need a place to con-nect our break-away lanyard. And so we put one of those on.

“And then they said, well, some-times we’d like to have it on our wrist and sometimes we’d like to have it on our neck, so we need one on the top and the bottom. And so we did that.

“And then of course software has to be as good as the reader, so we got feedback on that.”

Klassen said the phone interface is sometimes too small, so a desk-top version was developed for both PC and Mac. If there is no cellular signal for the phone, as is possible in far-flung pastures, the data is stored locally on the phone.

“But then if your phone got dropped and your horse stepped on it, you would potentially be out all your work, so we also stored it in the cloud. That way when your phone gets lost, your data doesn’t.

“And it also enables us, if you’ve got a member of the family or an

employee that has a phone and you enter something on the phone, it automatically goes to their phone, so everybody is in sync.”

Price for the readers will be set by the company who makes them, said Klassen, warning that there is always a tradeoff between features and price. Companies capable of making the units have been told what the CCA thinks the market will bear, but he did not cite a num-ber other than to say “we really have tried to keep the price down.”

The plan is to commercialize the units at the end of the year and have an application for iPhones avail-able in early 2018.

The effort that went into develop-ment of the readers prompted for-mer CCA president Travis Toews to jokingly remark on producers’ many requirements.

“I was amazed at where that read-er has gone. It’s confirmed my sus-picions that most cow-calf produc-ers are largely deaf and partially blind.”

CATTLE TAGS

Mission accomplished: Tag reader designed for producers

“Though it’s really unlikely to get this allergy, it’s something we should all be aware of. If you see one, you should identify and sub-mit it.”

Dergousoff agreed that it’s not something we need to be afraid of, but noted “we can’t ignore the risk in the future.”

Currently, the Public Health Agency of Canada is studying how Lone Star populations might move north as the climate warms. The agency plans to identify locations

in Canada where the ticks could survive, and it expects to publish results sometime in 2018.

“To date, we have detected small numbers of individual lone star ticks in the environment in several provinces,” said Maryse Durette, a spokesperson for the agency, in an email. “However, the risk of expo-sure to these ticks is very low and, as a result, development of an allergy from these bites would also be very low.”

As for cattle producers, Dergou-

CALGARY — The rows of steaks, roasts and hamburger in the gro-cery store meat case are near the end of the beef food chain. But what does that final link, the con-sumer, want from the array?

They want it free of added hor-mones, for one thing, says former Costco merchandising manager Claude Gravel.

“Hormone-free beef, it’s a big one,” Gravel said about consumer concerns regarding meat. “People are scared to hell about hormones in their product.”

During the recent Canadian Beef Industry Conference, Gravel empha-sized that he no longer speaks for Costco.

However, after 43 years in the meat industry, he has seen the need for changes.

Other countries produce beef without the use of growth-promot-ing hormones, he said. The same should be possible in Canada, whether as a niche or on a larger scale.

“Customers are asking a lot of questions about the hormones and antibiotics, but they don’t really understand. And even if we have the scientific data to tell them it’s safe, it’s good, it’s nice and it’s great,” con-

sumers increasingly don’t trust the science.

Bryan Gudjonson, director of fresh meat for Save-On-Foods, said the issue of added hormones in beef is all over social media but otherwise it’s not a factor.

Not yet, anyway.“I don’t hear a lot of customers

calling and asking me personally about it. There probably is a bit of a movement where eventually we’re

going to have to offer something like that, but right now I don’t hear a lot about that.”

Growth enhancing technology in the form of added hormones in feeder cattle has been proven to improve feed efficiency and aver-age daily gain.

Less feed means a lower environ-mental footprint. Higher gains mean more beef can be produced with fewer animals.

A June report from the Beef Cattle Research Council said hormonal implants provided an increase of 14 percent in average daily gain and improved feed to gain by almost nine percent.

The report acknowledged con-sumer concern, as well as the Euro-pean Union’s trade barriers against beef produced using added hor-mones.

“There is currently no Canadian

estimate to demonstrate the po-tential impact of the loss (of growth enhancing technology), as well as the potential impact from their elimination in terms of increased EU trade and consumer willing-ness to purchase,” read the BCRC priority area review on feed grains and feed efficiency.

“There is also a need for a nation-al technology transfer program aimed at the public that promotes their safety, environmental, eco-nomic, production and societal benefits. Research that looks at the alternative products or manage-ment methods is also needed.”

Years ago, I wrote an article on the negatives of hot-iron branding and got more

letters to the editor than I have since.

Please read this one and see if this makes sense to the cattle industry.

More and more, especially in purebred herds, you see cows and bulls with freeze brands. These may be just the herd letters or could be the actual identification or tat-too of the cattle.

One reason freeze branding has become necessary in purebreds is because of black cattle. Tattoos are hard to read in black, older cattle. With the cattle industry having only black and dark green ink avail-able, producers need another form of permanent identification in case tags fall out.

The industry has never come up with a yellow, red or white tattoo ink that works on darker cattle, however DNA hair testing is avail-able if needed.

Freeze branding is a very visible and permanent form of identifica-tion. It involves a process generally

done by experienced people and they treat it like a business. With dry ice and things like methanol to prevent cold irons sticking to the skin, the end result is a very visible brand.

When the skin is frozen, the hair grows in white. The thing I was most impressed with when watch-ing this procedure was the lower level of pain.

There is very little struggling in animals while it’s being adminis-tered. There are no vocalizations and very little in the way of skin peeling or wounding.

There are no big open wounds like one may get with hot-iron branding so the issue of flies both-ering the wound are minimized.

The hair is always clipped to improve contact between the iron and skin. Irons are put on animals for an exact time period. If contact is broken between the iron and the skin, that extra time lost is added on.

We need a researcher studying pain and animal welfare to look at freeze branding versus hot iron branding.

With hot-iron branding, produc-ers use NSAIDs on the bull calves that are also castrated at branding but most have also realized the benefits to heifers of painkillers that are hot iron branded.

In my obser vations of both methods of branding, if I were to call hot-iron branding an eight of 10 on a pain scale, I would have to

say freeze branding looks like a two.

Pain researchers would be able to quantify this more accurately, but visually it appears to be far less painful.

Researchers have maybe avoided the branding situation because it is a difficult one. It is not mentioned in the beef code of practice and the bison code states no branding for herd identification is allowed. I have also not seen it in the verified beef production manual.

Professionals experienced at freeze branding are calm when handling cattle so the animals walk quietly out of the chute. The calmer the handlers get the cattle into the chute, the easier they are to brand.

Commercial producers should seriously consider freeze branding, which would be done on essen-tially yearling heifers before breed-ing when all the heifer replace-ments have been selected.

Some producers may be able to eliminate branding of steers and non-replacement heifers. It is kind of a shame and lots of work to brand cattle going to slaughter in the next year.

As well, it would be nice if finan-cial institutions or feeder associa-tions did not require branding because hair samples can be tested for DNA to solve rare disputes.

Hot-iron branding decreases hide quality and it’s likely freeze branding does as well. Producers

should try to brand on the hip. Also, the smallest irons possible are recommended, especially with hot iron branding.

We need more research into the pain differences between the two branding procedures.

NATURE’S DESIGN OUR TECHNOLOGY

THE POWER OF THREE

LIVESTOCK THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 63


When it comes to adopting new technology, ranchers aren’t warm-ing up to solar and wind power as quickly as they are to other tech-nologies — and the reasons why vary widely, according to special-ists .

Statistics Canada data from the 2016 Agriculture Census highlight what technologies ranchers bring in more readily as part of their operations.

The agency calculated the num-bers by using what it calls an adop-tion rate, which determines how many Canadian beef ranches have brought in new tech.

As it turns out, only 5.9 percent of those operations have adopted solar power and only 0.8 percent have brought in wind.

On the flip side, ranchers were quick to adopt smartphones or tablets, with about 40 percent of farms using them. Computers and GPS mapping also scored high, with adoption rates of slightly more than 50 percent and about 25 per-cent, respectively.

However, the numbers don’t specify what kinds of solar-pow-ered equipment, such as water pumps or electrical fences, pro-ducers are bringing in.

New tech is supposed to make life easier by saving producers time and money, so why are many so slow on solar?

There are many reasons.For one, cattle producers are cau-

tious with new technology, said Marianne Possberg, a beef produc-tion specialist with the Saskatche-wan Cattlemen’s Association.

“If they know the current prac-tices are working and the alternate practice is unknown and might hurt animals, they are less likely to

adopt something new,” she said. “If there’s a power outage, some

aren’t sure whether there will be enough electricity or not for water-ers or electric fences, which might affect the health of their animals.”

She added that producers are becoming more comfortable as better technology becomes avail-able.

“Some of them have been showed a portable watering system that’s been working quite well,” she said, referencing a recent tour conducted by Ducks Unlimited and Saskatch-ewan Agriculture.

Cost factor

Still, governments could make grants more available, said Richard Gerlach, owner of Waterboy Solar in St. Albert, Alta.

He referenced Alberta’s On-Farm Energy Management program, which became available to produc-ers in February 2016 but has since stopped accepting applications because provincial officials are asking for more funding.

“When (grants) change, people get tired of that because many only like to buy when they know they’ve got a grant,” said Gerlach.

There’s also perception that some solar-powered pumps have been unreliable in the past, he added.

“A lot of people sold a lot of stuff that didn’t work so well and it’s because they didn’t know better or didn’t care. Some also thought it was magic but didn’t understand it,” he said. “But it does work well if you understand it.”

Possberg said if ranchers experi-ence issues, the word soon spreads and before long many become skeptical. But that also holds true for when they have good experi-ences with equipment, she said.

Quentin Stevick, a rancher near Pincher Creek, Alta., agreed that ranchers must have a good under-standing of the systems and con-tinuously work with them.

“Although it may be energy free, it’s not labour free,” he said. “I have to check them every day, and if I’m not here, someone else has to check them because some of strangest things can cause them not to func-tion. Cost is certainly a factor, too.”

He chose solar for two reasons: He can’t get power far out on the pas-ture and he wants to be environ-mentally sustainable. It’s part of a larger push to “leave this world bet-ter than when I got here,” he said.

“I walk my talk, and I use the cat-tle to harvest that grass to cycle the nutrients and put it back on the lands through urine and manure.”

Despite the slow uptake, there may be a shift coming.

Possberg said more cattle pro-ducers are starting to bring in solar technologies.

“From an anecdotal perspective, they are,” she said, noting that Sas-katchewan Agriculture’s Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Pro-gram has helped with the increase.

“But every farm has their own reasons for adopting and not adopting. It’s a large industry and you can’t speak for everybody.”

CALGARY — Preliminary results from a 2016-17 beef carcass quality audit show fewer horns, more tag, more liver abscesses and about the same number of brands compared to the last audit in 2010-11.

Mark Klassen, director of techni-cal services for the Canadian Cat-tlemen’s Association, gave early results of the audit Aug. 16 at the Canadian Beef Industry Confer-ence.

The audit involved examination of 30,000 beef carcasses.

An estimated 93 percent of the animals were polled, compared to 88 percent in the last audit five years ago. Horns tend to cause meat loss-es from bruising and extra labour so an increase in polled animals is considered a positive development for carcass quality.

An estimated 79 percent of car-casses carried tag, the term for vis-ible dirt, mud or manure on the hide. That is slightly higher than the last audit when 74 percent had tag. Presence of this material slows the slaughter line at plants and could increase the risk of fecal con-tamination on the meat.

“Livers are one we’ve been watching for awhile,” said Klassen, as he told producers that an esti-mated 18 percent of carcasses had “significant abscesses.”

“That’s higher than 10 percent in 2010-11 and that’s higher than the previous audit as well, so there’s been a steady trend upwards,” said Klassen.

“There are some reasons for that. It’s not an easy issue to address but it does have consequences espe-cially at the packing side.”

About five percent of carcasses had visible injection site lesions, slightly higher than the two percent

seen in 2010-11. However, there were fewer lesions found when internal primal cuts were exam-ined.

“Over the longer term this does reflect an improvement,” he said.

Brands reduce the value of cattle hides because the branded area has to be removed. About 13 per-cent of cattle examined in the audit carried brands, which is the same level as five years ago.

The recent audit revealed fewer cattle with bruises, some 36 per-cent compared to 43 percent seen in 2010-11. Fed animals tend to have fewer bruises than cows.

Klassen said carcass weights in Canada tend to be heavier than those in the U.S., by 22 to 77 pounds in recent years. Canadian carcass sizes show a steady upward trend, which has allowed beef production to be maintained despite having fewer animals.

After compiling all data from the last audit in 2010-11, Klassen said auditors calculated the cost of car-cass quality defects at $61.80 per head. The same calculation will be made for the most recent audit once the numbers have been final-ized.

NAME EXCH CLOSE LAST WK





NAME EXCH CLOSE LAST WKCHICAGO, (Reuters) — Burgers made from plants instead of ani-mals are capturing more space on U.S. barbecue grills this summer, fueling sales in the niche products that could reach $5 billion globally by 2020.

Plant-based meat foods are now available that include beet juice for colour and canola oil to simulate fat. These changes are not only pulling in consumers but also one of the powerhouses in traditional meat production — Tyson Foods Inc .

Tyson jumped into the sector last October when it bought a five per-cent stake in California-based Beyond Meat.

Tyson’s chief executive officer Tom Hayes has said demand for plant-based protein is growing a little faster than for animal-based.

That trend was in evidence at a recent picnic of the Christian Tab-ernacle Church - a small primarily African American congregation in Chicago’s western suburb of Roselle.

Five grills seared veggie burgers alongside summertime meat sta-ples : r ibs, bratwurst and hog dogs. Church member Doug Parker said vegetarian foods were

added to the traditional mix two years ago to address the rise in youth obesity.

“I had to make a lifestyle change and I like the veggie burgers a lot. They’ve come a long way from a time when they tasted like vegeta-bles,” said Parker, who has cut back on meat since being diag-nosed with type 2 diabetes eight years ago.

The U.S. summer grilling season, which runs from early May to Sep-tember and includes three holi-days, is a key sales period for burg-ers, ribs, steaks, and now alterna-tive meats.

The period accounted for $23.74 billion of retail meat revenues in 2016, according to Nielsen Re-search, when total meat revenues were $76.43 billion.

Agents for change

Alternative meat producers are targeting millennials and Genera-tion X, people between 18 to 50 years of age, according to Chicago-based consumer research firm Technomic.

These consumers tend to care more about the food they eat and are also willing to spend more on

their choice, said Michele Simon, executive director of the Plant Based Foods Association.

Nielsen data showed millennial a n d G e n -X h o u s e h o l d s a l s o accounted for 45 percent of the dol-lars spent on meat last year.

“Within the animal protein sec-tor, plant-based meat companies are targeting the next generation that is emerging as change agents,” said David Henkes of Technomic.

“It’s a cohort that’s going to shake things up even more.”

The meat substitute market is now tint but could reap $5.2 bil-lion in sales by 2020, according to Oregon-based All ied Market Research, an 8.4 percent rise from 2015. U.S. companies such as Beyond Meat and MorningStar Farms, owned by the world’s larg-

est cereal maker, Kellogg Co, are leading the charge.

Rather than triggering a complete meat-lover conversion from tradi-tional grilling fare, plant-based makers are looking for a fusion of both worlds.

“It’s not about elbowing the burg-er off, it’s about finding our place next to it,” said Mel Cash, brand manager director at Kellogg.

Beyond Meat has persuaded retailers like Safeway and Kroger-owned stores to sell its plant-based burger patty side-by-side in the grocery aisles with real ground beef products.

Beyond Meat chief executive offi-cer Ethan Brown conceded there are still differences between a ground beef burger and the com-pany’s Beyond Burger product, but the company’s researchers are nar-rowing the gap.

“It would be unrealistic to think that we can, in less than a decade, bypass the animal and perfectly build it from plants,” he said.

“However, we are deeply encour-aged by the scientific path we are on, and over time see no funda-mental obstacle to creating meat directly from plants that rivals the choicest of cuts,” said Brown.

Certain issues within the transition planning process might cause difficulties for

some families. These challenges are often referred to as the ‘soft’ issues. They can be more difficult to deal with than the ‘hard’ or con-crete issues such as taxation.

I recently was in a farm family meeting about transitioning own-ership and management when a couple of common challenges arose.

Fair versus equal

Equal is not always fair and fair is not always equal.

This principle applies to the dis-tribution of estate value, owner-ship and management transfer and the division of labour.

Parents often find it difficult to come to terms with treating their children fairly through the imple-mentation of the plan, sometimes becoming stuck when trying to treat children equally.

Equal is virtually impossible unless all assets are converted to cash, which would mean that the farm is sold outright.

In transition planning, fair and equal only has to make sense to the retiring generation. They’ve taken the risks and built the business to where it is today. They should get to decide what they want to do with it.

That is easy to say but not so easy to do.

Each family should work to find a balance between fair and equal and to understand what it means to them. It’s possible to arrive at equi-table arrangements but this prin-ciple is different than trying to achieve an equal arrangement.

Interestingly, the siblings of the family I was meeting with, were significantly more concerned about ‘fair and equal’ when dis-cussing work-related expectations than they were with money.

They trusted that their share of the estate would be fair. But their own family situations were differ-ent. Their children were at differ-ent ages and spouses had career aspirations outside the farm.

The discussion moved to what the work expectations were. Dis-cussion was robust. Consensus and agreement tricky.

The issues became more involved as the discussion proceeded.

It moved to include discussion

about priorities. Was their farm a ‘business first or family first’ orga-nization?

They agreed to continue with the discussion, and as part of the pro-cess to come to a satisfactory con-clusion and outcomes, to develop a comprehensive list of what the work expectations were and how individuals were going to be held accountable.

They acknowledged that their situations were not static and rec-ognized the need to make sure that they adjust expectations as things changed within the farm and with-in their family units.

The discussion led to other, relat-ed issues such as entitlement.

Entitlement

Feelings of entitlement are com-mon in transition planning. It’s often difficult for children and sib-lings to openly share their opinions on entitlement, either because the opinions are not well thought through or because they simply are not comfortable in voicing them.

I think statements like “this is what I think I should get” can sound greedy and in fact, likely are contrary to core values held within the family.

The discussion within the family about fair and equal in terms of work expectations spilled over to entitlement.

One of the siblings said they expected that if they worked more,

they should be entitled to a differ-ent share of certain aspects of the estate. It was clear that the com-ment was not made from a greed orientation. It wasn’t tied to any financial value.

The logic provided was that “if I work more, then I should be enti-tled to something in return.”

Children who have been work-ing on the farm will often feel entitled to a greater share of the farm and their parents’ estate than siblings who have not.

Siblings who have not been work-ing on the farm can feel entitled to their share through birthright. These feelings must be acknowl-edged, balanced and incorporated into the transition plan.

A first step is for all family mem-bers to develop and share goals and to come to agreement on what they are working towards – the vision for the future. What is it that they want to achieve personally, for their families and for the business?

Goals and vision help to set the foundation for transition plan development and implementa-tion.

They become the common inter-est from which to proceed with planning and help families work through challenging issues such as entitlement and fair and equal.

Richardson Pioneer Ltd. has bought two crop input facilities in northeastern Alberta.

The company is acquiring Webb’s Crop Services Ltd. in Vermilion and Agro Guys Inc. near Forest-burg.

Both are independent, full-ser-vice retail crop inputs centres that provide local customers with seed, fertilizer and crop protection prod-ucts. The acquisitions were expect-ed to close on Aug. 31 and employ-ees will join the Richardson Pio-neer team on Sept. 1.

The Alberta locations are the lat-

SERVICE CENTRE ACQUISITIONS

Richardson adds two Alberta crop centres to full service lineupest additions to Richardson Pio-neer’s growing network of retail crop inputs centres across the Prairies. Richardson acquired Crop First Agro in Grenfell, Sask., in Jan-uary and it is also expanding its network through new builds. It recently opened a new crop inputs location in Elrose, Sask., and con-

struction will be completed on a facility in Pasqua, Sask., later this fall.

Next spring, Richardson Pioneer will open another new crop inputs centre near Wakaw, Sask.

“We are focused on aggressively growing our retail crop inputs net-work across the Prairies,” said says

Tom Hamilton, vice-president of agribusiness operations.

“Whether through acquisition, building new or enhancing our existing facilities, we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our Richardson Pioneer network and offer our services to more cus-tomers in strategic locations.”

SAO PAULO (Reuters) — Bayer AG’s Brazil unit has been relying on barter for more of its agrochemical sales, swapping its products with farmers for a portion of their crops to keep business healthy as the country emerges from the harshest recession on record.

With accessible credit l ines scarce for Brazilian farmers, Bayer will use the barter operations to raise agrochemical sales to more than $300 million this year, said Eduardo Roncaglia, director of structured operations.

The volume of sales through bar-ter operations will represent up to 25 percent of the unit’s total sales this year, up from a mere one per-cent in 2013, Roncaglia said.

“This is an important tool for pro-ducers and distributors to manage risk. And with the credit restric-

tions in Brazil, we think it is funda-mental,” he said.

Bartering is a form of exchange that enables producers to reduce reliance on bank loans to finance the crop as they receive inputs such as agrochemicals from Bayer.

The strategy has also proven effective in times of excess produc-tion, which has lowered commod-ity prices. Those who locked in prices through barter exchanges in the last harvest had results 30 per-cent better, Roncaglia said.

Bayer does not receive the crops physically, but guarantees pur-chases as an intermediary between producers and trading companies.

Soy and cotton account for about 80 percent of Bayer’s agrochemical barter operations, but there are contracts involving other crops such as coffee, sugar, and corn.

Balance sheet bootcamp for family farm successionIn any family farm succession, there’s an emotional objective at stake and a financial one too. The emotional goal is to maintain positive family harmony after everyone shakes hands. The financial goal is to transfer assets between generations at a fair price for all parties while minimizing tax liabilities. The older generation needs a predictable, secure income to fund their future years. The younger generation needs to assume ownership and management of the farm business on terms that are sustainable. Valuation is key. If farm assets are under-priced, the older generation could find it difficult to maintain a comfortable lifestyle in the coming years. If farm assets are priced too high, the future viability of the farm could be called into question. Gwen Paddock, National Manager of Agriculture and Agribusiness for RBC®, believes that if each generation considers the needs of the other, an outcome can be achieved that is both emotionally and financially positive. “Beyond structuring the new owners’ banking arrangements, we can also contribute ideas on growing the farm business while managing risk,” says Paddock. “As you go through your family’s succession journey, we’ll be with you every step of the way.”
