R-CALF lawsuit takes aim at Canadian beef

New mindset needed?

Earls is just the ‘tip of the iceberg’

Protectionist ranchers’ group says checkoffs promote ‘less safe and less wholesome’ imported beef By JENNIFER BLAIR AF staff

Consumers are starting to call the tune about how cattle are raised, and the sector needs to respond, say industry observers

group of cattle ranchers is suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture, claiming their checkoff dollars are being used to promote Canadian and other imported beef. The Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America — best known as R-CALF — also claims imported beef is “less safe and less wholesome.” But the lawsuit filed earlier this month is “a fairly typical R-CALF action, accompanied by pretty typical R-CALF rhetoric,” said

onsumers are demanding sustainable beef and many want it sooner rather than

later. That’s a key lesson from the Earls Restaurant controversy — and evidence producers need to change their thinking, say experts. “The first thing the cattle industry has to do is stop believing that there is no money to be made with niche markets. There is money to be made,” said Sylvain Charlebois, one of Canada’s most well-known experts on the food industry. “The second thing the industry has to do is come up with a strategy. Define what sustainable beef means and execute a strategy as quickly as possible.” Earls’ controversial (and since reversed) decision to source Certified Humane beef from the U.S. shows that consumer trends move quickly — but the beef industry has trouble keeping up, said Charlebois, dean of the faculty of

Horses and pets not forgotten in Fort McMurray rescue effort There was an overwhelming effort to rescue and care for horses and pets in the wake of the devastating fire By ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF

he outpouring of support for people displaced by the Fort McMurray wildfire was overwhelming — and so was the effort to rescue and care for horses from the area. Krista Critch was one of many volunteers who dropped everything to help save horses and pets at the height of the crisis. She had driven up with supplies in her livestock trailer to Boyle in North Central Alberta, where family members were staying in campers after being evacuated. She had been unsuccessfully trying to hook up with an animal rescue effort. When she got up north, she met others who shared her concern, and they all immediately sprang into action. “We went up to help and ended up meeting up with a bunch of people there and we all teamed up and kept hauling,” said Critch, a mule breeder from north of Vermilion who is originally from Newfoundland. Volunteers working under the direction of the Alberta SPCA co-ordinated a dropoff pasture for horses at the juncture of Highway 63 and Highway 881. Critch connected with organizer Holly Plunkett, owner of Plunkett Ranch & Rescue in Alix, who had gone up north to arrange foster homes, feed donations, and horse transportation. “There are lots of people involved with the rescue effort,” said Critch. “In the beginning, I was just communicating with three or four people, but then there were about 50 people. There were actually too many to help with the animals, so they just asked some people to step back and let a few people organize.” There weren’t a lot of horses in the area — a survey by Alberta Farm Animal Care put the number of horse owners with acreages at 15 and the city’s one large stable, Clearwater Horse Club, had already been evacuated. But the volunteers knew horses would be a major challenge for overworked emergency personnel since they don’t often have training in handling large animals. “That’s part of the reason why so many horse people got involved,” said Critch. “We knew that the horses were going to be moved.” Critch didn’t get close to the fire zone, but didn’t have to. “Wherever they would let us go, we went,” she said. “We didn’t have to go into the city. People were loading the horses out and then I would switch the horses into my trailer and get ready to drop them off and change it up to make it go a little quicker.” Some horses had been set free and were wandering around loose. Critch managed to catch three of them and bring them to the drop-off pasture. One of the owners was waiting there when she arrived.

A group of truck lovers called Western Canadian Powerstrokes helped haul trailers and rescue horses from the Fort McMurray wildfire. PHOTO: Rhonda Bignell “We got to witness one reunion,” Critch said. “I think the other two have been accounted for and their owners have been found.” There were people riding around back roads, catching horses, and pulling them out. “I had one friend who rode her horse through town (while she was getting out) and she ended up catching five more horses,” said Critch. She is not sure how many horses have been rescued from the city. She has 11 at her ranch, her friend has seven in Tofield, and there were dozens in the drop-off pasture. Critch also rescued seven dogs, which she delivered to the Edmonton Humane Society. “We had a truck full of dogs,” she said. “I was driving and there was one person in the passenger seat and one in the back and we just hoped the dogs got along. They did. They rode pretty good.” They were also exhausted by their ordeal. “By the time they got into our car with the AC on, they just slept the whole way,” said Critch. “There was one lab-cross that wanted his head out the window the entire time, so we just let him.” Critch is keeping the rescued horses on two of her quarter sections, free of charge. “We’ll keep them as long as need be,” she said. The Alberta Equestrian Federation has

Food processing could be the next Alberta advantage

Scrapping ALMA a mistake?

Despite hundreds of millions of investment, agri-food processing in Alberta is just ‘muddling along,’ says entrepreneur

But that creates “discomfort,” Bouma added. “That’s going to take some courage and some leadership and some political will to make it happen.” And those changes will have to happen on both a provincial and federal level, said Makowecki. “The fundamental thing we need to do is have a government say, ‘This is a strategic industry that we want to put resources into.’ They have to make that statement,” he said. “Without that, we’re just sort of molecules bumping into each other.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Narrow margins

Alberta’s agri-food processors have been reasonably successful in growing the domestic food processing industry, said Makowecki. “But I think we could be so much better if we began to be much more serious and strategic about it,” he added. In a business with very narrow margins, success “really boils down to some very simple numbers.” “We take all our competitive input costs, shake them in a bag, and then ask, ‘Are we making money at the end of the day?’” said Makowecki. “In food processing, we always have to look at our costs. Alberta has some strengths, but it has some weaknesses, and the strengths have to outweigh those weaknesses in terms of their competitive costs.” Food processors only make between three and eight per cent net profit, he said, and because Alberta is “a long ways away from markets, all our costs have to be more competitive than other areas that are closer to markets. It’s that simple.”

Government needs to be ‘more serious and strategic’ about fostering an agri-food processing, says Joe Makowecki, president of Heritage Frozen Foods, a major purchaser of Alberta potatoes, flour, and canola oil. PHOTO: Heritage Frozen Foods

“Logistics have to be excellent in Alberta, and the costs have to be excellent,” he said. “If you change any of the numbers — electricity, water, labour, logistics — that goes right down to the bottom line and makes you less competitive. In food processing, every dollar counts.”

Big potential

But agriculture could be a “big engine” of economic growth, said Bouma. “Agriculture and food is a major industry, a significant economic contributor, and by far the largest land user,” he said. “And it has the opportunity to be an even greater contributor to economic growth.” Across the livestock value chain, for example, the beef and pork industries account for around 95,000 jobs, he said. “If the beef industry was able to achieve relatively modest growth and get back to two million cows, that would generate another 60,000 jobs, so we’d go up to 156,000. That’s a big number,” said Bouma. “If you applied that same template to the entire food-processing sector, we’re talking significant growth — probably a total of 100,000 jobs to the economy. “That would really address a lot of the employment concerns that are surfacing.” With the energy sector in another downturn, people are realizing that agriculture and food “presents considerable opportunity,” he said. “I’m a real believer that Alberta could be a preferred supplier in some key growth markets, like the Pacific Rim. But that takes hard, focused work. We really need to be trying to be very focused in terms of what that strategy is going to be, rather than a generalist approach.”

“The amount of food and beverage shipments that are coming out of our sector relative to the value of farm gate receipts had a ratio of 1:1 in 1995 and is still 1:1 here 20 years later. “We haven’t moved the needle at all. That would suggest what we’re doing isn’t working and that we have to look at it differently and approach it differently.” Makowecki agrees. “We really don’t have a co-ordinated strategy that we’re moving forward to,” said Makowecki. “If we’re going to build a larger industry and a more competitive industry, we have to move in the same direction.”

Industry-led approach

Both government and the entire agri-food processing sector need to recognize that “the approaches we’ve taken haven’t been terribly successful,” said Bouma. “If you look at what’s happened over the last 20 years, there’s been hundreds of millions of dollars put into programs and incentives to try to get people to modernize, upgrade their equipment, do market research, or develop their products, but it hasn’t really materially changed the ratio of value-added to farm gate production,” he said.

he dissolution of the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency in last month’s provincial budget may be a step backward for Alberta’s agri-food processing industry. “I know ALMA was able to move fairly quickly in terms of responding to both opportunities and concerns and really apply resources in a very forthright fashion because of the way it was structured,” said Jerry Bouma, of Toma & Bouma Management Consultants. In 2014-15, ALMA put $9.5 million into 76 projects related to agri-food processing, including ones for automation, efficiency, and product and market development. And while those monies may still be in the budget, an arm’slength agency like ALMA is still needed to manage those investments, said Joe Makowecki, the founding chairman of the agency. “It’s disappointing that they’ve decided to dissolve ALMA,” said Makowecki, president of Heritage Frozen Foods. “I think there’s very little money they’re going to save. The number is around $3 million, and that’s a very small number when you look at the economic benefit ALMA was providing. “I wouldn’t have got involved if I didn’t think there was a need for that.” Makowecki would like to see the provincial government reconsider its decision to bring ALMA in-house. “Governments do make mistakes from time to time, but you can always reverse those decisions.”

ne year after a call to build Alberta’s agri-food processing sector, not much has changed. “Everything has stalled,” said Jerry Bouma, co-founder of Toma & Bouma Management Consultants. “We have a new government and the formation of a new ministry. Any time you have a restructuring — both politically and bureaucratically — it takes awhile for entities like that to get their legs under them.” Last May, Bouma presented a Food Research Project Framework at the Conference on Food and Innovation in Calgary that highlighted the potential of agri-food processing if a “very targeted, strategic approach” was adopted. But that hasn’t happened. While the fledgling NDP government supports agri-food sector growth “in principle,” he said, but right now, it’s low on the priority list. “They don’t have a strong rural base or understanding of agri-food issues,” said Bouma. “And, probably more importantly, they’ve had so many other things they’ve had to deal with that I don’t think this has become much of a priority. “They understand there’s an opportunity, but beyond that, I haven’t seen any evidence of growth.” That growth has been “slow,” said Joe Makowecki, president of Heritage Frozen Foods, which produces 500 million Cheemo perogies a year and is a major purchaser of Alberta potatoes, flour, and canola oil. “I’ve been in this a long time, and I’ve heard a lot of governments over the past couple of decades,” said Makowecki. “We get starts and stops and ad hoc initiatives. We’re muddling along and hoping that something good will happen. But at the end of the day, (government) needs to think about the industry as investors and create a competitive climate that’s going to ensure that food processing continues to grow.”

s it time for a fundamental rethink of Canada’s agriculture trade policy? That simple question is, these days, tantamount to heresy in the agriculture sector, long preoccupied with trade issues. However, a new policy note from the independent research group Agri-Food Economic Systems in Guelph, Ontario, suggests it might be worth asking. The research team, led by respected agriculture economist Al Mussell, dove into the data to get a better handle on what has actually been happening behind the rhetoric and headlines. What they found was, frankly, more sizzle than steak. Take the issue of agriculture subsidy levels, for example. One of the stated goals of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture was the reduction of subsidy levels. After more than 20 years, about the best one could say is they haven’t grown. The researchers looked at the available data on “producer subsidy equivalents” (PSE) from member states of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for the period of 1986-2014, the last year complete data was available. They found that in 2014 PSE levels were roughly US$240 billion — essentially unchanged from 1986. That’s not to say nothing changed. There was a fair bit of shifting around going on, especially out of the categories considered most trade distorting, such as subsidies directly related to production. It’s also worth noting that the figures aren’t inflation adjusted, so subsidies as a proportion of farm receipts did fall. But contrary to what everyone predicted

at the time, there was no sizable reduction in the subsidies. “Based on support estimates by the OECD, it is hard to argue that support for agriculture has really declined much since the WTO agreement in 1995,” noted Kamal Karunagoda, a co-author of the paper. “The structure of support has shifted away from agricultural subsidies regarded as most trade distorting, but countries have been very creative in designing new subsidy programs.” The authors also noted current global agriculture trade policy remains rooted in the “three pillars” of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture: market access, domestic support, and export competition. This was all based on studies from the 1980s and 1990s. In the meantime, there’s been considerable changes in global agriculture production and trade, which have created new issues. Some are entirely new, others were always there but have only become more visible as tariffs and export and production subsidies have been scaled back. There are tax breaks and subsidies at the state, provincial or municipal level, for example. There’s lingering price suppression from the remaining direct and indirect subsidies. There are resources that are strategically underpriced, such as water or hydroelectricity. There are issues that are artfully ignored, such as environmental degradation or the costs of providing environmental services to the rest of society. There are also wildly differing labour standards and animal welfare standards, just to name a few. All are now, or are becoming, market access issues not covered by the existing model of global agricultural trade. “Agricultural trade has evolved significantly since the 1990s — today we worry

about natural capital, labour standards, and competing claims/measures related to sustainability in foods. These all impact agricultural trade, but were not contemplated in the trade policy framework,” said co-author Douglas Hedley. A final, and perhaps even more concerning, issue is that the current framework largely ignores a lot of countries that weren’t an issue back when it was set, but certainly are now. The OECD figures noted there are countries — many of them emerging agriculture powers — where subsidies have in fact been rising quickly. Between 1995 and 2014, Russian agriculture subsidies grew by 33 per cent annually. During the same period Brazil saw annual growth in subsidies of 26 per cent, Kazakhstan 25 per cent and China 22 per cent. That’s been less problematic in recent years because of higher prices for agricultural commodities, but that seems to be changing too, according to Mussell. “In the immediate future, an escalation in global agricultural support can be anticipated, given lower farm prices,” Mussell said. “Without a better framework to assess domestic support, it will be increasingly difficult to address the skeptics.” He ended by calling for a more meaningful structure that would better support Canadian interests. We take pride in being a trading nation and have over the years taken great pains to ensure we’ve been compliant with our various trade obligations. In light of these new facts, however, it probably is time to take a long, hard look at what our trade goals are, and how we can get from here to there. gord.gilmour@fbcpublishing.com

ith little fanfare and barely a nod of public acknowledgment, the world of food turned upside down April 13 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture informed a Penn State University plant pathologist that the “white button mushroom” he developed by removing some of its genetic material is not a genetically modified organism (GMO). As such, USDA declared, the new mushroom will not be “regulated” by USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). This was not some bureaucratic hairsplitting by some little-known government agency. In fact, it was just the opposite: This is a hair-onfire decision that will remake food as we know it. This little white mushroom, however, is unlike any mushroom the world has ever seen. Through a gene editing process known as CRISPRCas9, Penn State researcher Yinong Yang made “small deletions in a specific gene” so the mushroom “stops production of a specific enzyme that causes mushrooms to brown.” The result, explained Penn State

after USDA’s official blessing, is “a mushroom with longer shelf life that resists blemishes caused by handling or mechanical harvesting — but without DNA from a foreign organism.” And that’s the difference, says USDA: Yang didn’t add genetic material to the mushroom from a “foreign organism such as bacteria or other plant species.” Instead, he removed the fraction of the mushroom’s own genetic material that causes unsightly browning to create his new, non-GMO mushroom. That’s possible because of CRISPR, short for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.” This “tool” can focus on an exact spot on the genome to “delete or replace specific DNA pieces, thereby promoting or disabling certain traits.” This ability, though, raises a paradox: Is the mushroom, as USDA says, an unregulated, non-GMO food because it contains less of its own DNA and no added DNA or is it a different kind of Frankenfood — Frankenfungi? — as GMO critics say because, in fact, its DNA has been altered? Yang, the mushroom’s developer, welcomes that debate but prefers

it to be less a food fight and more a food “goal,” a clear indication of what he — and most of the scientific farm and food community — would like to see. “There’s too much divisiveness and hostility between pro- and anti-GMO camps,” he offered in a mid-April, Penn State press release. “I hope development of the new technology will facilitate rational and productive dialogue… with a common goal to achieve food safety, food security, and agricultural and environmental sustainability.” There may not be much time for any discussion rational, productive, or otherwise. Less than a week after the USDA-Penn State announcement, DuPont Pioneer made public plans to market (by 2021) a waxy corn hybrid developed through its use of the less-is-more CRISPR gene editing technology. Other CRISPRinspired research is already directed at drought-resistant corn and wheat. What’s next? “Pigs that reach market weight faster and cattle that produce more tender meat (and more of it),” guesses the not-for-profit Center for Food Integrity in an April 6 blog post titled “Technical Advances Need Transparency.”

Also, the blog notes, be on the lookout for “Hens that produce only female offspring (that) would do away with the need to euthanize male chicks.” But that’s just the tip of the CRISPR iceberg. Toss drug research — especially gene therapies for cancer treatment — into the discussion and CRISPR may be the biggest, life-changing tool to hit mankind since the invention of the wheel. Where will this new wheel take us? Can its plant and animal transforming magic serve both today’s industrial Big Ag and tomorrow’s sustainable ag? Will the market’s singular drive toward short-term profit shortcircuit the long-term complexity of our global ecology? Is there a moral line that CRISPR should never cross? If so, where? Answers to these tough questions — there will be many more — can’t come from government regulators like USDA. They need to come from you and me. We should talk.

We can’t turn a blind eye to abuse Domestic violence and animal abuse do take place on farms in our province, and both must be reported By BRENDA SCHOEPP AF columnist

2012 report called The Cruelty Connection looked at whether there was a relationship between animal abuse and domestic violence in Alberta. And there was — people who committed crimes against animals also committed crimes against people. The project (a collaboration between the SPCA and the RCMP) found that in 85 per cent of cases when the abuser threatened to harm an animal, he carried that threat out. This ranged from breaking legs on food animals and pets, hanging, drowning, beating, starvation, isolation and painful slaughter, as well as torture. So when a person holding his family hostage said he would harm the animals or pets, he usually did so. If that was not enough, there was a certain mind game involved where the crime was committed in front of the children. Again 85 per cent of the time — often driven by fear of leaving home — the family pet was usually the victim. The report found that abused or

oppressed women on farms are reluctant to leave because they have to leave the animals behind. If they have access to transportation and are not being watched, they can get the kids in the car and maybe the family dog. But it is hard to get the cat, chickens, geese, sheep, cattle, and horses in the same vehicle. The concern of the welfare of the animal is so great that it keeps families at risk — 59 per cent of women said they endured spousal abuse rather than leave their animals. In the Cruelty Connection report, the authors were astounded to discover that basic animal welfare was misunderstood and most certainly underappreciated. The connection between human and animal welfare was very deep and the report urges us to consider the importance of the continued work with food animal welfare programs. On larger farms, because of their access and public transparency, codes apply and audits are necessary. That does not mean that family violence does not exist on larger farms, but these sorts of programs often do not get to isolated farms where women, children, and animals are marginalized. And when people are marginalized, so are animals.

I heard this first hand when talking about animal welfare to children ages nine to 18 years. They did not consider intermittent care of food animals or even the stoning of the family dog to death wrong, because it was part of their everyday life. It was “just Dad’s way.” Animal welfare research has highlighted the importance of touch and of voice when handling animals. How we speak to and handle animals not only affects their emotional well-being, but also their production. Other research has documented the “profound difference” on production and behaviour when food animals were exposed to familiar faces and actions. It found a disruption in the human family can often spill over into a disruption in the emotional and productive state of the animals in our care. We have said before on these pages that society lumps animal welfare and human rights in the same camp — and this is well documented. What they may have not realized, and nor did agriculture, was just how deep those two are related. The director of dairy stewardship at one of the largest U.S. dairies reminded us at a recent live-

stock care conference that “poor animal welfare is unsustainable” — a statement most folks would wholeheartedly agree with. Very few wake up in the morning with an intention to harm or create suffering. Rather we work toward the care and comfort of our animals at all times. It is in their best interest and in ours — as farmers or pet owners. But human beings make mistakes, and they can often arise in that constant quest for ultimate performance. This results in infertility, woody breast, laminitis, and a host of other sources of pain for both the animal and the caregiver. We need to revisit the cost of single-trait selection, which is not a sustainable practice and impacts the bottom line. And there are often simple ways to avoid complex problems. A poultry expert at the same Alberta Farm Animal Care conference said that in designing housing, we need to remember “these are ground birds — going up causes stress.” It is our duty as farmers to ensure that we train, respect and care for those who work on our farms and this is very critical for family. Everyone on the farm should be empowered to do the right thing and no one should be

pressured to accept a practice just because it is ‘Dad’s way.’ In other words, the key to the creation of a safe and wholesome environment for people and animals on our planet is culture. We do not turn a blind eye to animal suffering nor should we to human suffering — both are a grave injustice. You can report animal welfare concerns by calling Alberta Farm Animal Care’s Alert Line (1-800506-2273) and animal abuse by calling the SPCA (1-800-455-9003 or 911).

Farmers’ indignation won’t stop consumers from demanding change Denying there’s any room for change on the farm is a short-sighted strategy that ignores new opportunities BY STEWART SKINNER Modern Farmer Project

witter has killed civil discourse. Limits of 140 characters make having a discussion about complex topics like food production next to impossible, but for some reason it has become a platform of choice for exchanging ideas. I have watched many of my fellow food producers howl when A&W, Subway, and other food businesses work to create supply chains that go beyond the base standards laid out by the CFIA and various provincial regulations. From time to time, I will wade into the fray and often my view is rather unpopular among my counterparts. Rights of the individual are very important to me; it is part of why we live such wonderful lives here in Canada. Our rights are respected and protected by a series of laws and ultimately, our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. For me, there is a logical extension to businesses. When a company in the food industry makes a decision it feels is best for the health of its busi-

ness, I skip over the indignation and go straight to looking at what new opportunities this opens up for growers. We can bluster all we want, but this trend will continue and we will see greater segmentation within our food industry. This is a large part of why we are working to start up a certified humane production loop to produce pigs. We weighed the options available for growth of our business and this avenue offered long-term price stability in one of the fastestgrowing segments of the protein market. We don’t think the pork we will produce is ‘better’ and I will admit that I don’t like the way the label implies commodity pork is somehow now ‘inhumane’ because it is not. Regardless of the production system, farmers care for their livestock, ensuring that animals’ needs are met and the grocery shelves are always full with safe, affordable food. That said, a growing segment of consumers have said loud and clear they are concerned about animal welfare and they are willing to pay a premium for an audited production system that adheres to specific requirements. We have made a decision to take part.

The larger issue at play for me is how defensive agriculture has got as an industry. Case in point, recently I got into a back-andforth with an author who published a blog criticizing animal behaviourist Temple Grandin for an article in which she shared her concerns surrounding the long-term implications genetic selection for higher production is having on dairy cow longevity. I have serious issues with someone going after one of animal agriculture’s strongest advocates in the public eye because she had the audacity to say that everything is not perfect on the farm. He cherry-picked quotes and sprinkled in some anecdotal evidence using Gigi, the nine-year-old wonder cow. My former thesis adviser had a saying, “An n of 1, a study does not make.” Trying to use one cow as justification Grandin is wrong is misleading when we know the average age of a dairy cow has declined as productivity has increased. Peer-reviewed research published back in 2005 highlights this phenomenon. A long-term study of Holstein cows in the northeastern U.S. showed 80 per cent of cows lived to 48

months in 1957. By 2002 this had dropped to 60 per cent. Switching to our farm, I will be the first one to admit our longevity of sows has a negative correlation with productivity. In 2012 we weaned an average of 21.84 piglets per sow per year and our average parity (pregnancies per sow) on the farm was 2.98. In 2016 we are weaning 29.91 piglets per sow per year and our average parity has decreased to 2.6. Does a reduction in longevity equate to poorer welfare? I don’t think it does. Our animals are better cared for than ever before, they’re just not staying on the farm as long. However, we do need to consider the long-term ramifications of basing much of our genetic selection on productivity traits. We as food producers need to come to grips with the fact we are not perfect and in this world of instant communication, the drive for transparency in food production will continually intensify. The odd thing is, I think we all know we are not perfect but for some reason most of us are very defensive. My guess is much of the anger is rooted in the fact we are doing

a great job of producing more food while greatly reducing the environmental impact of our production. All we want is to be left alone to continue doing what those who came before us did, feeding people. Rightly or wrongly, this simply isn’t an option and as long as there is Twitter, Instagram, Insert New Social Media Platform Here, and full grocery store shelves, we are going to face continued scrutiny around our practices. Each generation of food producers has had to grapple with new challenges. Maybe ours is learning to accept non-farming people will play a significant role in shaping how we grow food. Michael Von Massow, a professor and researcher at University of Guelph, who has researched animal welfare and consumer perceptions put it well in a recent column in the Globe and Mail: “We can talk all we want about the safety and the science, but if we can’t convince consumers, producers must find other markets or change their practices.” Stewart Skinner farms near Listowel, Ontario and blogs about his life on the farm at https://modernfarmer. wordpress.com.

BEEF } from page 1 management at Dalhousie University. The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, formed in 2014, is reviewing the criteria developed for McDonald’s “verified sustainable beef,” but isn’t expecting to complete that job until 2017. That means it will be 2019 before cattle raised under those protocols head to slaughter. “Consensus building has been challenging for the roundtable — the first thing we need to do as a country is agree on what sustainable beef actually means,” said Charlebois. Dave Andrews, a Brooks rancher and well-known figure in the beef sector, agrees the process may be moving too slowly, but he’s not going to fault the roundtable for that. “It’s a big project,” he said. “I’m not critical of the roundtable for being too slow. Resources are finite and it’s not inexpensive to develop a program like this.” Andrews is one of the authors of the seminal 2014 “straw man” report that urged the beef industry to work together to capitalize on Canada’s ability to produce high-quality beef. That included a call “to provide both domestic and international customers with a dependable supply of quality beef that meets their specific needs and expectations.” But so far, the market signals for specialized beef programs for companies like Earls have not been “vigorous” enough, he said. “This is a market-based industry — it responds to price signals,” said Andrews. “I don’t think that the market opportunity has been clearly demonstrated to be profitable at this point in time. “It’s not that hard to do if the price signals are there.” Producers are “looking very carefully” at the market potential, but so far the number of buyers like Earls is few and far between, he said. And while Europe is a potentially lucrative market and

“The first thing the cattle industry has to do is stop believing that there is no money to be made with niche markets. There is money to be made.” Sylvain Charlebois

wants beef raised without growth promotants, it imposes tariffs and quotas to keep out imports.

Looking ahead

But ranchers like Colleen Biggs are already doing what Charlebois recommends by chasing niche markets. The high prices for cattle in recent years shouldn’t lull producers into a false sense of security, said Biggs, who produces ‘natural’ beef with husband Dylan at TK Ranch near Hanna. She likens the cattle business to the oil industry, and fears what would happen if prices suddenly plummeted. “We’re doing OK right now, but heaven forbid… we had some strong years and the market has just one direction to go now,” she said. “That’s the primary reason we got involved. We couldn’t survive in the industry by just selling our calves in the fall. There wasn’t enough cash. The more markets we have for our livestock, the

more stable the overall agricultural industry will be.” The Biggs, who will soon be opening their own abattoir near Calgary, raise grass-fed beef, lamb, and pasture-raised pork under the Certified Animal Welfare label, which is even more stringent than the Certified Humane brand. There is an opportunity for beef producers to come together to market naturally raised animals, but there’s a major roadblock, she said. Raising, assembling, processing, and certifying cattle under special protocols isn’t difficult, but things fall apart when the meat goes further along the value chain, she said. For beef to retain its certification, warehouses and coolers need to be federally inspected and certified as well. Andrews agrees that’s a problem today, but said it can be overcome with the right technology. However, that will take a change in attitude, he added. “What producers need to understand is they (retailers, restaurants and customers) are not just buying meat anymore,” he said. “They’re actually buying cattle from primary producers. They’re buying cattle from me indirectly. They’re not some shadowy retailer way out there at the other end of the value chain. They’re coming down to my place and they’re looking for cattle to satisfy their consumers. “That’s what producers need to get through their heads.” Neither A&W’s move to “better beef” or Earls’ decision should be viewed as a “one-off,” he warned. “You can bet your boots it’s not — this is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Andrews. “As cattle people from the rancher right through to retail, we need to understand what it is that will drive consumers to buy our product. “And we need to make sure that we can supply what it is they want.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

That’s the perspective it’s taking in this action and that it’s consistently taken as an organization.” The group alleges the USDA’s $1-per-head checkoff is being “unconstitutionally used to promote international beef, to the detriment of U.S. beef products and producers.” “The checkoff’s implied message that all beef is equal, regardless of where the cattle are born or how they are raised, harms U.S. farmers and ranchers and deceives U.S. citizens,” R-CALF chief executive officer Bill Bullard said in a news release.

Not another COOL

That allegation is patently false, said Smith. “Our production practices are at least as good as those in the United States, and our regulations here — especially in the area of traceability — are significantly stronger than in the United States,” he said. The lawsuit comes just months after the repeal of the U.S. countryof-origin labelling (COOL) law. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association spent seven years and nearly $4 million fighting COOL, which it said cost beef and pork farmers about $8 billion in reduced exports and lower prices. R-CALF was a major player in the lobbying effort to implement COOL, but Smith said he’s not expecting the lawsuit to have a major impact. “There’s always a risk when you hear the kind of rhetoric that you hear from R-CALF, but as an organization, it certainly seems to have lost a large amount of its influence,” said Smith. “It was more worrisome for our industry when it had more influence. It’s not without influence, but it certainly doesn’t have the influence it had even 10 years ago.” Moreover, the “vast majority” of U.S. cattle producers recognizes that international trade is good for the beef industry, and realizes R-CALF’s allegations distort the truth, he said. “It’s a very protectionist organization,” said Smith. “R-CALF is trying to justify the fact that it doesn’t want trade in beef.” jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Identify the risks and take steps to protect your farm or ranch There are a number of things that can — and should — be done to minimize the impact of fire Alberta Agriculture and Forestry release

here are several things you can do to minimize the impact of fire. “In a lot of cases, it’s like a risk management process,” said Brad Andres, director of emergency management services with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “Ask yourself about on-farm safety and identify the risks that could really affect your operation.” Being prepared with an emergency action plan is a wise investment, he said. “The information in an emergency plan that is specific to each individual farm operation will help to ensure the safety of family members, employees and livestock, and have the added benefit of minimizing financial loss and property damage.” When it comes to wildfires and livestock, there are three options, said Andres. “You can shelter in place for as long as it is safe, you can try and evacuate your animals to a safer area, or, as a last resort, you can free your animals and let them fend for themselves.” If you are planning to evacuate, it will require a lot of time and resources. Animals may need to be herded to another piece of nearby property or loaded on transporters and moved to a more distant location. “The challenge with evacuation is that you will have to make the decision to do so a long time before the fireman is knocking on your door telling you to leave,” he said. When the firefighter does come and there is no time, freeing your animals may be the only option you have. “Open the gates and give the animals a chance to survive on their own. Give them access to areas that have food, water and space to allow their instincts to help them avoid the fire. At this stage, you are evacuating and protecting your family first, so you can come back later and fix things up or rebuild, depending on the damage.” There are some excellent mobile sources for further information, said Andres. “There’s a wildfire mobile app that will give you up-to-date information on fire bans and current fires in your area. As well, the Alberta Emergency Alert app is another communities use to post evacuation and warning instructions.” The Wildfire Mobile App can be downloaded at http://open. alberta.ca/interact/albertawildfire. The Alberta Emergency Alert app can be found at www. emergencyalert.alberta.ca (click on the Sign-Up For Alerts tab). Additional information can be found by going to www. agriculture.alberta.ca and searching for ‘wildfires and livestock.’

The yard

You can also take measures to help fireproof your yard. “This means looking at your operation and building zones of protection,” said Andres. “You can do simple things like cutting the grass and getting

rid of the underbrush. Doing so will remove fuel from any fire approaching your buildings or even stopping small fires in your yard from growing.” Those efforts should include pruning branches; cleaning dead leaves out of gutters and under porches and decks; and situating the burn barrel away from trees and other combustibles. Having ample water on hand is another way to manage fire risks. “This is especially important in dry conditions,” said Andres. “You need enough water to put out a small fire or soak down your yard in the event of fire coming from the outside.” It’s also vital everyone in the operation knows what the plan is, he said.

“Often when a fire hits, not everyone is at home. That means everyone needs to know at least the critical parts of the plan. What are you going to do when it’s time to evacuate? Turn the power off, open the gates to let the animals run out into the pasture, and then make sure everyone leaves.” Also, follow the instructions of local authorities, he added. “They are there to protect you. When they say it’s time to evacuate, do so. If they say it’s time to shelter in place, do so, but think through your plan and prepare to evacuate if need be.” You should also have a list of emergency telephone numbers that includes employees, neighbours, veterinarian, poison control, Alberta Farm Animal Care,

Photo: Thinkstock local animal shelters, and transportation resources. Include an out-of-town contact person who is unlikely to be affected by the same emergency. Make sure that everyone on the farm knows where this list is.

New research facility is for the birds

wildfire sunset

A University of Saskatchewan facility will let researchers study bird health and the environment with possible human benefits BY LESLEY PORTER

University of Saskatchewan

ust like the canary in the coal mine, wild birds can tell us a lot about our environment and how it could affect human health. University of Saskatchewan biology professor, Christy Morrissey says watching birds for problems could help locate issues that may affect human health, one of the driving forces behind a new research facility. “Everything is magnified for them,” Morrissey said. “They’re smaller, their lifespans are shorter in many cases and they are so dependent on their environment.” Spanning close to 350 square metres, the facility has six indoor bird rooms and 12 outdoor enclosures, capable of holding a large variety of bird species such as songbirds, waterfowl and raptors. It is one of only two such facilities in Canada capable of advanced research on birds, as well as the only facility of its kind dedicated to the studies of avian wildlife ecotoxicology and medicine. “Most of our research capacity is on aquatic animals, so we have a lot of that,” she said. “We have an animal care facility mostly for small mammals to do health research, but no dedicated space to work on wildlife and no dedicated place to work on birds, other than poultry. “The whole concept of the facility is to do multidisciplinary research on wild birds — that could be anything from ecology and migration studies to toxicology work and veterinary medicine.” Birds have a long, storied past as being excellent indicators of environmental conditions, Morrissey said. Like the proverbial canary in a coal mine — where the bright, chirpy bird would accompany underground miners and cease to sing once the air became too toxic — birds still act as indicators of the health of the environment and potentially the health of the environment to support humans as well.

Take precautions to minimize risks of tick exposure Blacklegged ticks are known to carry three serious illnesses Staff

Blacklegged ticks (or deer ticks) are most commonly found within and along the edge of forests and in areas with thick, woody shrubs. Photo: Thinkstock

ay is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and people need to remember that tick-borne diseases are completely preventable. People can protect themselves by performing regular tick checks after spending time outdoors, knowing where blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) are located, minimizing the risk of exposure, and recognizing the signs and symptoms of tick-borne diseases. These precautions will help protect against Lyme disease, as well as anaplasmosis and babesiosis, two newly emerging tick-borne diseases. Blacklegged ticks, which can carry anaplasmosis, babesiosis and Lyme disease, are most commonly found within and along the edge of forests and in areas with thick, woody shrubs and other vegetation. Blacklegged ticks are found more often from early spring through late fall.

Symptoms of babesiosis can start one to six weeks after a tick bite and may include non-specific flulike symptoms.

The smaller nymphs are difficult to see and are most abundant during late spring and summer. Blacklegged ticks found within these risk areas are more likely to carry the agents that cause anaplasmosis, babesiosis and Lyme disease. While blacklegged ticks can be found outside of these risk areas, the risk of tick-borne disease transmission is lower. Limiting exposure to potentially infected blacklegged ticks is the key to tick-borne disease prevention. Reduce your risk of tick exposure by: • A pplying an appropriate tick repellent, following label directions, on exposed skin and clothing; • Inspecting themselves, children and pets after spending time outdoors; • Removing ticks as soon as possible from people and pets; • Staying to the centre of walking trails; • Wearing long pants and longsleeved shirts; and • Keeping grass and shrubs around homes cut short to create drier environments that are less suitable for blacklegged tick survival.

Symptoms of anaplasmosis can start five to 21 days after a tick bite and may include fever, chills, headache, joint aches, nausea and vomiting, often in association with blood abnormalities and/or liver abnormalities. Anaplasmosis can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Symptoms of babesiosis can start one to six weeks after a tick bite and may include non-specific flulike symptoms such as fever, chills, sweats, headache, body aches, loss of appetite, nausea or fatigue. Babesiosis can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Symptoms of Lyme disease can start about three days to one month after a tick bite, often with an expanding rash which then fades. Early symptoms can also include headache, stiff neck, muscle aches or fatigue, fever, chills and swollen lymph nodes. Lyme disease can be successfully treated with antibiotics and treatment is most successful in the early stages of infection. In Alberta, the provincial Health Ministry has a ‘Submit a tick’ program, and anyone finding a tick on themselves, others, or pets is asked to take it to a provincial environmental health office or to a veterinarian. All blacklegged ticks will be tested to see if they carry the bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, that can cause Lyme disease in humans. Results of this program will help Alberta Health monitor for changes to the risk of Lyme disease in Alberta. In 2014, 1,376 ticks were submitted and nine tested positive for Borrelia burgdorferi.

The numbers are big in Canadian ag

Wheat news is bearish

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has released the Overview of the Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food System. It says the sector generated $108.1 billion of GDP, (6.6 per cent of Canada’s total) in 2014 and provided one in eight jobs in Canada (employing over 2.3 million people). Canadian export sales grew by 12 per cent over year-earlierlevels to $51.5 billion, giving Canada a 3.6 per cent share of global exports. The food and beverage-processing industry continued to grow, and the value of its shipments almost doubled between 1995 and 2014 to $103.4 billion. — AAF

The market expected bearish wheat news from the latest USDA’s new-crop supply-anddemand report, but it was worse than expected. USDA projected world wheat reserves to climb to a record 257 million tonnes by the end of the 2016-17 marketing year — a couple million tonnes more than expected and 15 million tonnes larger than the current year. But if China is removed from the mix, the global wheat balance sheet for the new crop year tightens. China, the world’s largest producer, is expected to harvest 130 million tonnes in 2016-17. But it hardly participates in global wheat trade. — Reuters

Canola futures go for a wild ride during a chaotic week The Prairies’ weather could swing markets either way By Phil Franz-Warkentin

eatbelts were mandatory for those following the canola futures market during the week of May 9-13, with the July contract moving up, down and up again within a $40 range. The biggest move came on Tuesday, May 10, following the release of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s monthly supply/demand report. The numbers were deemed as bullish for soybeans, with a downward revision to the old-crop carry-out projection and an even tighter forecast for 2016-17. Beans rocketed higher and canola did the same. Both old- and new-crop canola shot to fresh contract highs on Tuesday, but overbought warning bells were quickly sounding and prices were right back where they started by Thursday’s close. With the profit-taking out of the way, canola could resume the slow upward trend in place over the past two months.

The underlying fundamentals remain relatively supportive, with solid end-user demand and expectations for tightening ending stocks, but it will now likely take an outside catalyst for canola to retest its nearby highs. The weather is one such factor being closely watched these days. Some areas of Western Canada, especially Alberta, remain on the dry side and are in need of moisture. Nearby forecasts call for widespread rains from May 18 to 20, which would be bearish if realized. Meanwhile, much of Saskatchewan and Manitoba already saw welcome precipitation over the past week. However, that moisture came in the form of snow and freezing temperatures in some cases, and the risk of a spring frost is still a strong possibility in the middle of May. Beyond the Canadian weather, much more attention these days remains on crop conditions in the U.S. and South America. Soybean production estimates out of Argentina have been downgraded

due to excess moisture. In Brazil, dryness is the issue hurting crop prospects there. Brazil was also in the news for all of the wrong political reasons over the past week, as the country’s president, Dilma Rousseff, faces impeachment. The political uncertainty led to swings in the Brazilian currency. That, in turn, influences the export market for both soybeans and corn, making movement out of the country more or less favourable, depending on the exchange rate that day. Soybean and corn futures at the Chicago Board of Trade both moved higher during the week, but soyoil was down. Wheat is trading on its own news, with Chicago and Kansas City winter wheat contracts moving up in sympathy with corn despite the relatively bearish global supply situation. Minneapolis wheat was a bit more subdued, with prices holding within a very narrow range over the course of the week as the North American crop is still being planted.

Fertilizer prices set to rise, says industry expert A rally in commodity prices and currency factors could push up prices in coming months By Dave Sims

Commodity News Service Canada

rise in prices for soybeans and other crops could make fertilizer more expensive in the coming months, according to a major player in the industry. In the May market report from the Mosaic Co., the company credited the rally in agricultural commodity prices, the strengthening of key currencies and various Indian subsidies and Brazilian political dramas as helping raise the prospects for a rebound in nitrogen, phosphorous and potash values. “We’ve seen a big rally in soybean prices and we’ve seen decent increases in many of the ag commodity prices that we think underpin good demand prospects,” said Michael Rahm, vice-president of market and strategic analysis with Mosaic in Minnesota. Fertilizer usage north of the border is keeping steady according to two prominent producers on the Prairies.

“Fertilizer isn’t cheap, but prices have been flat through most of the winter,” said Doug Chorney, a former president of Keystone Agricultural Producers who farms north of Winnipeg. “I bought most of my fertilizer in the winter and prices have not changed dramatically since then.” Another farmer says despite excessively dry conditions in Alberta, he hasn’t seen anyone cutting back on fertilizer usage this spring. “I think it’s pretty well the same; people have bought stuff earlier and they’re using it, hoping that they can get enough rain to use it up,” said Lynn Jacobson, the president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture who farms near Enchant. Looking at the second half of the year, Rahm said other factors could also boost demand and strengthen the market. Chinese potash contracts, uncertainty in Brazil and India’s apparent plan to purchase phosphate later than normal are two of the main ones. As well, the effects of a potential La Niña weather system on growing areas must also be considered.

pHOTO: thINKSTOCK “If La Niña comes about sooner than expected and you get a bit of a growing problem with the North American growing season that could provide additional fireworks in the ag commodity complex and could be the biggest swing factor,” he explained.

Recovering oil prices and appreciations in major currencies, most especially the Russian ruble, are also supportive for the fertilizer market. “That rebound in (Russian) currency, coupled with domestic inflation prices, is beginning to pinch or squeeze margins,” said Rahm.

But he stresses the ag commodity complex is what they’ll be watching most carefully throughout the summer. “The Northern Hemisphere growing season will be key to watch, as will weather in June, July and August.”

Changes to traceability database

Conference focuses on infectious diseases

The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency has enhanced the Canadian Livestock Tracking System database. The agency has enabled system users to submit an Import event for any foreign country tag ID numbers. The supported format is 15 digits in length, starting with the country code. Since current regulations only permit the farm of origin to age verify an animal, a final owner may receive less than market value for an incorrectly ageverified animal if a birthdate entry is in the database. The system now sends a digital alert designed to prevent duplicate birthdate data entry reporting on the same tags. — CCIA

The University of Calgary Faculty of veterinary medicine’s annual Beef Cattle Conference takes place June 16-17 in Calgary. This year’s focus is on infectious disease diagnosis and control, including overviews of diarrhea, respiratory disease, and other diseases; biosecurity; vaccination; and preconditioning. There will also be workshops on managing pre-weaning diseases, infectious lameness in the feedlot, and administering veterinary pharmaceuticals. Program details are available at www.vet.ucalgary.ca/beef, by emailing beef@ucalgary.ca or calling 403-210-6420. — AAF

Does the ‘appetite gene’ make for better cattle? A genetic mutation in cattle makes gains with a little help from its friends BY JEFF MELCHIOR

“The more we researched leptin, the greater our interest.”

AF contributor

omewhat controversial in the early days of cattle genetic coding, leptin — a hormone that regulates appetite in animals and humans — is making a comeback among some cattle breeders. The difference this time is its common inclusion in a broad panel of beneficial genes tested in cattle, said Stephen Moore, a leading researcher in the field of genetic coding in cattle. “When we do genetic association studies for a number of different traits — marbling or fattening, for example — leptin is one of these genes that keeps coming up time and time again, along with genes such as the Growth Hormone Receptor and Insulin Like Growth Factor,” said Moore, a former University of Alberta professor now at the University of Queensland in Australia. “They’re essential in a complex interaction of genes that affect a lot of different traits but they don’t do it on their own.” Leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells that essentially tells the brain when to stop eating. There are more than 20 mutations of the gene in cattle, and all can create subtly different effects, said Moore. The fully mutated version in the single gene test of the leptin gene (genotype TT) has been associated with better back fat growth, higher dairy production, and improved feed efficiency. The value of these mutations in leptin for breeding programs has been debated in the cattle genetics research community for some time, said Moore. Some argue that the difference in animal performance is significant while some say otherwise. But with most testing for leptin now done as part of a broad panel test for a wide range of genomics — as opposed to the older single gene test — it’s become clear that leptin mutations work best when considered in the context of other genetic variations. “With most single gene tests we only see a small amount of variation in a trait such as fatness or growth rate,” said Moore. “When many mutations in many genes are tested, much more of the variation can be explained.”

Panel tests offer breeders more accurate predictions when selecting for various traits, he said. “Leptin may form part of a much larger panel of up to 700,000 mutations in some cases. Depending on the breed, they can predict a whole lot of traits with pretty good accuracy. Depending on your bull or your cow herd’s key performance target, you might want a bull that is good for one particular thing and you can make that choice based on these genomic predictions.” Panel testing has also changed the game when it comes to the turnover of highdemand bulls. “It’s transformed the bull breeding in dairy cattle like you wouldn’t believe,” said Moore. “Five or six years ago, you had these elite Holstein bulls — Goldwin was the big one in Canada. He was still the drop bull four years after he died with producers still using his semen because it took five years to get accurate genomic predictions for him. “With this newer technology you get an accurate estimate of the bull when it’s one year old. What that’s done to bull breeding in dairy cattle is you have a one-year-old bull that’s the top bull and you collect semen from that bull, but next

year you find a better bull. You don’t have to wait five or seven years to get an accurate prediction. The bulls are turning over much more quickly.” Still, the research on leptin is unclear when it comes to efficiency. Moore and his associates from the University of Alberta have tested the relationship between leptin and residual feed intake (RFI), which is the difference between an animal’s actual feed intake and its expected feed requirements for maintenance and growth. “Efficiency is different things to different people, so we tested the RFI trait which is a measure of efficiency that is not dependent on growth rate,” said Moore. “It’s a trait that’s important in your cow herd — you want cows that are low maintenance and having calves that go to the feedlot. The problem is all the RFI measurements have been measured in a feedlot and not in the cow herd because it’s very difficult to measure feed intake on pasture.” For that reason, Moore said it’s difficult to determine a direct connection between leptin and RFI. “Leptin came up in some of those studies. It was there, it’s important. But as to how it’s affecting the whole suite of genes in feed-to-gain ratio or residual

feed intake we don’t know. We haven’t established those pathways.”

Sold on leptin testing

While the scientific debate over leptin isn’t settled, Lon Carlson and Lorraine Beaudin swear by it. The owners of Carlson Cattle Company, a purebred Red Angus and Gelbvieh operation located near Magrath, have been testing for leptin in their herd for the past 10 years, using only bulls that have been tested 100 per cent positive for the TT mutation in their program. Although Carlson Cattle Company uses the single gene test for leptin, Beaudin said they test for a number of other genes linked to specific traits as well. “We test our herd sires for other traits that (genetics information supplier) Quantum Genetix has identified, such as rib-eye area (IGF2), tenderness (PMCH), stress (CrH4), and more recently POMC which is linked to feed efficiency and rate of gain.” “Our interest in the leptin gene started when Lon worked with several feedlot owners and operators who were interested in leptin,” said Beaudin. “The leptin program was being introduced to the feedlots through Quantum Genetix

as a means of selecting cattle for slaughter based on their DNA and condition score. “Lon found this of interest and felt that testing and breeding for leptin would be beneficial in the seedstock industry since the positive bulls could then only pass on the leptin mutation to their offspring.” “The more we researched leptin, the greater our interest,” added Carlson. “What impressed Lorraine the most was the empirical research linking leptin to improved milk production, primarily in dairy cattle. “To have a DNA marker that is proven to increase ADG (average daily gain) and milk production in cattle could only be a positive addition to our program.” The Carlsons have been seeing improvements in average daily gain in their herd for some time. “We first noticed this when our four kids’ 4-H steers were consistently in the top end of the 4-H club,” said Beaudin. They are just beginning to explore the relationship between the TT leptin mutation and RFI, said Carlson. “In our most recent RFI test, six of our bulls were tested against 24 other bulls,” he said. “Four of our bulls were ranked in the top five. In that test, two of the bulls were 100 per cent leptin and two were 50 per cent. The top-ranked bull was 100 per cent leptin and the next two bulls 50 per cent leptin.” The same test also measured average daily gain, with 30 bulls averaging 3.26 pounds per day. But once again, his bulls stood out, said Carlson. “Three bulls out of the 30 on test had an ADG of over four pounds per day — and all three were ours, two of which were 100 per cent leptin.”

Keep score when it comes to your soil health The Visual Soil Assessment scorecard can help producers identify whether their soils are degrading Proper rations, location, and salt additives are key to managing mineral intake of cattle gone to pasture. Photo: Jennifer Paige

Find the right balance for mineral consumption Consistent monitoring, proper salt use and location are all key to ensure minerals and supplements are effective BY JENNIFER PAIGE Staff

M inerals and supplements are necessary tools in cattle production but how do you ensure the herd has what it needs while avoiding expensive waste? Animal nutrition expert D.J. Woodward says striking that balance means monitoring, proper rations, and appropriate salt use. “Cattle have to consume minerals in order to have all of the health benefits that we know that their rumen microbes need,” said Woodward, regional manager for ADM animal nutrition in Lethbridge. “Overconsumption for long periods will be costly, with little or no benefit, and underconsumption can create deficiencies.” Focusing on free-choice minerals, as they are the most commonly used, Woodward provided tips for producers during a recent Going to Grass online presentation sponsored by United Farmers of Alberta. Before starting out with a new mineral program, he recommends a feed analysis to determine what minerals need to be supplemented. “Cattle require macro-elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, potassium and salt,” Woodward said. When selecting a mineral product, consider the form (block or meal), formulation (salt content, added carriers and sweeteners), and concentration (number of cows per tub and distribution in the pasture). A common mistake is having an improper number of cows per tub. He recommends aiming for 15 to 25 cows per tub. “If we have 100 cows on a single tub, that tub is hardly going to get a rest between cows. There is going to be a lot of saliva left on top, which softens more of the top layer and the top inch of that tub will be very soft,” said Woodward. “The cattle will literally be able to lick chunks of it out with their tongue as opposed to having to work a little bit to get at it.” If using feeders, he suggests one for every 40 to 50 head, and leaving adequate space between them to avoid congestion.

Expect variations

When starting out on a new mineral program, producers should give their herd enough time to

level off on consumption before making any changes to management that would affect intake. “We need to be patient and wait the 21 days for cattle to acclimate to the new product,” Woodward said. “Sometimes they will start very slow, sometimes they will start very aggressive, every cow herd is different so we need to allow that three-week time period.” Once the mineral program has been established, don’t be surprised if you still see intake variations, as consumption levels can change for a number of reasons including change in season, temperature, forage quality, pasture rotation, and environmental events. It’s important to monitor mineral disappearance in order to have a good understanding of the daily feeding rate and properly judge intake tolerance. “On any free-choice mineral, you should have a 25 per cent intake tolerance, plus or minus.” Salt is considered to be the main driver for mineral intake and can be used to control intake levels. “Salt is the only mineral that cattle crave,” Woodward said. “I tell producers all the time to use salt as both the brake and gas pedal for consumption. We can take it away to increase consumption or we can add additional salt to slow cattle down on the mineral.” Most free-choice minerals contain 15 to 30 per cent salt or sodium and in cases where cattle may be underconsuming, additional salt offerings, such has free-choice salt blocks, should be taken away to encourage cattle to get their salt from the minerals. For herds that may be overconsuming, move mineral feeders or tubs out of high-traffic areas. This can also be beneficial to increase traffic in areas of the pasture that are being undergrazed. “The cattle will chase these tubs,” Woodward said. “They will go and eat the tub and then typically graze around the tub, so it is also a way to better distribute the cattle throughout the entire pasture.” For underconsuming herds, consider removing any added medications for a short period as these may cause bitterness when starting out, or switching to a lowsalt formula, as this will require more consumption to quench the cattle’s salt craving. jennifer.paige@fbcpublishing.com

n upcoming Foothills Forage and Grazing workshop will feature a soil health expert from Down Under talking about what’s going on down underground. “The workshop is an introduction to the role of soil health and microbiology in building forage quality and pasture quality,” said Nicole Masters, director of Integrity Soils in New Zealand. “It’s going to be helping ranchers as they define some of the dynamics in their soil and common issues with parasites or weeds. They’ll look at what’s driving that from the ground up.” Ranchers tend to know “an awful lot about pasture, but not a lot about the soil,” said Masters, who will be speaking at the June 24 workshop in Carstairs. “If they can understand more about the soil dynamics, it gives them more tools and more opportunities for forage improvement,” said Masters. “Soil health is something producers need to be focusing on if they want to be a profitable business into the future. We need resilience when it comes to soil health. “Everything comes back to soil.” That’s especially important in a drought year, she added. “Healthy soils will act like a buffer and a sponge,” she said. “We can hold a lot more moisture in healthy soils, and in the growing season, it’s going to act as a buffer against temperature extremes. They’re cool in the middle of summer and warm in winter. “What we’re trying to build underground is that buffer from extremes so that we can grow a pasture that’s not stressed.” Ranchers often don’t realize that their soils are degrading, she said. To evaluate that, Masters uses a Visual Soil Assessment scorecard, a tool developed by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization.

“The soil will give you signals earlier than the pasture will. So if you can pick up that the soil is degrading, then you can do something about it,” said Masters. “I don’t know if it’s your greatest weak spot, as it is in some other countries, but there’s an awful lot of soil being lost.” The scorecard helps producers identify whether they’re losing soil and what they can do about it. “It has some dynamic measurements for how healthy the soil is right now, and whether the soil is improving or degrading,” she said. As a first step, producers need to be looking for “visual signs” that the soil is in good shape — things wsuch as crumb structure, water movement through the soil, mycorrhizae levels, and colour. “We’re looking for how much carbon we’re holding on to, and that shows up as that lovely darkbrown humus colour,” said Masters. “We’re wanting our soils to look like they’re gorgeous fluffy chocolate cake. If it’s not, we need to look at what we can do about it.” For most ranchers, improving soil degradation comes down to discovering their “limiting factors.” “On different ranches, there will be something that is inhibiting mycorrhizae or damaging soil health. It’s going to be on a case-by-case basis,” she said. “We need to look at how we can use the rangeland and the animals to improve soil health instead of degrading it.” And building your knowledge base is “a good place to start,” said Masters. “Go to workshops or talk to people who are already well on track,” she said. “That’s the joy of getting to listen to people from different parts of the world. They bring different experiences and perspectives. “There’s a lot of options out there. Don’t think that there’s nothing that can be done.” For more information about the workshop, go to www.foothillsforage.com. jennifer.blair@fbcpublishing.com

Your neighbour’s unused grass could be a lifesaver

MOONLIT WALK

Reducing the fuel load on ungrazed areas could be a win-win for everyone Alberta Agriculture and Forestry release

f you’re facing a feed shortage this spring, perhaps a neighbour could help. “Not every square foot of land in Alberta is farmed,” said provincial beef extension specialist Andrea Hanson. “Perhaps there’s a neighbour whose land borders yours and he or she doesn’t have cattle to use the grass or getting their cattle to the area isn’t practical. If so, with the addition of a gate and some perimeter fencing, you can have some extra feed this spring and/or in the fall.” Typically, these ungrazed areas have a lot of old thatch or grass from previous years’ growth that will protect the new growing shoots from being overgrazed. “Grazing these areas now and leaving your pastures that may need some extra time would be a wise plan for the longevity of your pastures,” said Hanson. “Using these ungrazed areas also reduces the fire hazard from the buildup

of old grass and larger fuel source. This is a benefit to all in the community.” There are several factors to consider, including fencing and watering costs — and what the grass is worth. “Old smooth bromegrass has very little feed value while native and some other tame plant species hold their nutritional value much longer,” she said. “Depending on the relationship with your neighbour, just reducing the fire hazard for the area may be compensation enough, not to mention the increase in soil health that grazing animals provide.” But make sure your cattle behave themselves and don’t end up trampling your neighbour’s crop. “The saying ‘good fences make good neighbours’ applies at all times. If you can keep the cattle happy and contained in these underutilized areas it can certainly be a win-win for both parties when spring grass is at a premium, or to extend your grazing season in the fall.”

Cattle markets take a downturn U.S. herd expansion and a rising dollar mean the Canadian cattle market is taking a hit, says Anne Wasko By ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF

anadian cattle prices are headed for a downturn and they’re going to stay on the low side for the next two years. “The wheels are coming off the bus,” said Anne Wasko, market analyst with Gateway Livestock. The downturn is partially due to the recent increase of the Canadian dollar. “This isn’t a slow progression — it’s an instant progression with a very large impact,” said Wasko. “We have lower cattle prices in the United States, we have a higher Canadian dollar, and we have a weakening basis; three negative impacts that have all come into play in a very short period of time, with a very limited time to respond and react.”

“The point I try to make to producers is that this is a very quickly changing marketplace.” Anne Wasko

Feeders and backgrounders now have an inventory that is losing money and cow-calf producers are looking at a very different scenario compared to a year ago. The risk around the dollar probably could have been mitigated, but things changed so quickly that most producers were caught off guard, said Wasko. “I just look at the banks and the banks haven’t even called it right, so I don’t know how producers would,” she said. “The point I try to make to producers is that this is a very quickly changing marketplace. Our calves are being born today, but we’ve got a lot of moving pieces between now and the time we wean those cattle in the fall.” Things have been slowing down since 2015, but the Canadian industry was buffered from the effects due to the declining dollar. The cattle price cycle peaked in 2014-15 and the American herd liquidated after the severe drought of 2012. Prices have gone down since 2015 because there has been more cattle and beef available. The 2015 basis was strong, which meant Canadian prices were closer to the American price. “This happened because the Canadian packers wanted to send the message to keep Canadian cattle in Canada,” said Wasko. According to CANFAX, as of April 1, 2016, there were seven per cent more cattle on feed than last year in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Basis levels are currently returning to normal levels. The U.S. has expanded for the last two years and is up four per cent, while the Albertan herd has

remained stable since 2012 and might not expand this year. And these cattle numbers won’t help Canadian producers when price correction comes because American cattle drive the market. Producers will likely see a market that is turned upside down, and prices will be lower, even though the herd is smaller, she said. Jason Wood, provincial livestock analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, is a little more optimistic than Wasko. “The prices are stabilizing and prices for feeders and fed stock are still above the five-year average,” he said. “Overall, prices are still quite good compared to the five-year average.” Right now, it doesn’t look as though the prices will drop any further, he said. “If you look at the futures market, it looks like it’s fairly stable through the remainder of the year, but that’s open to a lot of ‘what-ifs’ in there,” he said.

He’s not sure if the herd will expand because more heifers were going to feedlots in March. “With those heifers going into feedlots, that reduces the likelihood of breeding stock being retained and reduces the likelihood of herd expansion,” said Wood. “This could be a one-off event and we’re still early in the year. There’s still a lot of time to go.” Last year there was a push to expand the cattle herd, but the expansion never happened because of drought. But Wood said cattle sell-offs during this time were smaller than expected. “We’re still seeing margins in the cow-calf sector that are quite good,” he said. “We’re still early in the year, so we could see moisture conditions improve. As we move forward, we’ll have to see what happens.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Flash floods follow drought

Asia food security fears resurface

After suffering from a prolonged drought, Ethiopia suffered flash floods last month that displaced nearly 120,000 people. Both the drought and floods are part of the global El Niño weather phenomenon, experts said. The drought has left 10.2 million people in need of food aid and aid agencies say that figure could rise to more than 15 million by August. Ethiopia’s total population is 90 million. Ethiopia was ravaged by famine in 1984 which killed hundreds of thousands of people but it now boasts one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies and experts say it is far better able to cope with a new crisis. — Reuters

Nearly a decade after a spike in global food prices sent shock waves around the world, Asia’s top rice producers are suffering from a blistering drought that threatens to cut output and boost prices of a staple for half the world’s population. World rice production is expected to decline for the first time this year since 2010, as failing rains linked to El Niño cut crop yields in Asia’s rice bowl. A heat wave is sweeping top rice exporter India, No. 2 supplier Thailand is facing a second year of drought, and No. 3 Vietnam is also parched, causing irrigation fed by the Mekong River to run dry. — Reuters

A look at the mechanics of truly severe thunderstorms Most thunderstorms last no more than an hour, but when the conditions are right, you can get ones that go on and on

BY DANIEL BEZTE

fter a start to May that made most people across the Prairies believe that summer had arrived early, a deep upper low and a large arctic high combined to bring temperatures crashing back down. This reminded us just why our part of the world has some of the most interesting and variable weather. The rapid swing in temperatures leads nicely into this issue’s topic: severe thunderstorms. Back in April, we talked about what it takes to form severe thunderstorms: heat, humidity, lift, and some way to vent the air at the top of the storm. This time we’ll take a look at what it takes to create a severe thunderstorm and turn it into a thunderstorm to truly remember. We have a hot, humid air mass in place, the air a few thousand feet up is very cold, providing for good lift, and we have a strong jet stream overhead providing the venting at the top of the storm. Everything is in place for a severe thunderstorm, but what can Mother Nature add to the mix to make things even worse? Probably the most important “extra” ingredient that can be added is to have the wind change direction with altitude. Remember that the atmosphere is three dimensional. That is, air can flow horizontally, but this horizontal direction can change as you move upwards. Why would this have an impact on our storm? To put it in a nutshell, this change of direction can cause the developing storm to rotate. Picture what would happen if you take a rising parcel of air and push on it from the south when it is at the surface. Then as it rises up a couple of thousand feet the wind switches direction and now blows from the east. Then a few thousand feet further up it is blowing from the northwest. What would happen to our rising parcel of air? It would get twisted, it would start to rotate. Remember also that if we can get air to rotate counterclockwise we have an area of low pressure. Air flows inward in a counterclockwise rotation and is then forced to move upwards. If we can get our severe storm rotating, we get a smallscale area of low pressure that helps the air to rise even more than it would without the rotation. The second thing a rotating thunderstorm can do is to nicely separate the area of updrafts and downdrafts. This is important, since the downdrafts, even with a severe thunderstorm, will eventually cut the updraft off from its source of warm, moist air. In a rotating thunderstorm, the source of warm, moist air is

This map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the 14-day period ending May 12.

maintained, giving these storms a long life and a lot of moisture to produce heavy rains. Another aspect to the storm that a rotating column of air can provide is tornadoes. While we still do not understand how tornadoes are formed, we do know that rotating thunderstorms can produce them. It is believed that rotating columns of air can get squeezed into a narrower shape. As this happens, the wind speeds increase eventually producing the tornado. Like most things in nature, thunderstorms rarely behave like the textbook says they should. Even when all the ingredients are there, no storms may form or sometimes some key ingredient is missing yet we get a really severe storm. This is what makes weather so interesting. Now, not every thunderstorm that

develops becomes severe. In fact, much of our summer rainfall comes from garden-variety thunderstorms, or what we call air mass thunderstorms. These storms, as the name indicates, develop in the middle of a typical warm summer air mass. Because they are in the middle of an air mass, some of the key ingredients for severe storms are missing. Usually, in the middle of an air mass, temperature will not decrease that rapidly with height. The wind will usually remain constant with height, and there will probably not be a jet stream overhead. Nonetheless, we can still have enough heat and humidity for air to rise and thunderstorms will form. Since these storms don’t rotate or have any way to vent the rising air from the top of the storm, they rarely last long. The accumulating air at the top of the storm will eventually fall

back down as a downdraft, and this will wipe out the updraft, essentially killing the storm. The whole process from the start of the storm to the downdraft killing can be anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. While these storms are short lived, they can give brief periods of heavy rain and the odd good gust of wind, especially when the downdraft fist hits the ground. These storms often provide us with just the right amount of precipitation when we need it during the summer. I hope you now know just a little bit more about the nature of severe thunderstorms.

More producers are not only insuring all of their eligible acres, but taking out maximum coverage By ALEXIS KIENLEN AF STAFF

t’s an uncertain world out there, especially in farming — and that has more Alberta producers taking out crop insurance. “We’re seeing more acres being insured by Alberta producers on crops — last year we were close to about 78 per cent of acres insured,” said Merle Jacobson, acting president of the Agricultural Financial Services Corporation (AFSC). Insured acres have grown steadily over the last five years. Even a couple of years ago, only about 72 per cent of the province’s total acres were insured. “This year, for 2016, we saw the largest increase (in crop insurance) we’ve seen for a couple of years, across the province,” said Jacobson. More producers have elected to insure all of their eligible acres, and more producers are purchasing the maximum level of coverage — 57 per cent this year, which is well above the usual level of about 50 per cent. “Last year, at the start of the year, it was quite dry and there was a lot of uncertainty,” said Jacobson. “It turned out OK — much better than people expected. “People are just looking around and saying, ‘We’re not taking as much risk this year. They’re just looking around and taking as much insurance as they can in case something should happen.” This year, AFSC has offered several enhancements to its programs, including coverage specifically for malt barley, which used to be covered under feed barley.

ritics say AgriStability is so complex, its biggest beneficiaries are the nation’s accountants.

The canola association has come up with an alternative risk management concept — whole-farm revenue insurance — it believes needs to be studied further.

“You can offer revenue insurance cheaper than you can offer price insurance and quantity (production) insurance separately.” Rick White

Is it better to save seed or buy certified seed?

As with all crop protection products, read and follow label instructions carefully. Member of CropLife Canada.

The recently released Overview of Certified Seed and Farmer Saved Seed study can help wheat producers choose the type of seed to plant. The report compares the costs of saving and cleaning seed to purchasing certified seed. “Based on the data, the results show that in only two out of the 10 years covered by the survey was certified seed a more expensive option than saved seed,” says Ryan Furtas, research economist. But farmers should do their analysis with their own data and take into account wheat prices and seed availability. The report can be obtained by contacting Furtas at 780-422-7095 or ryan.furtas@gov.ab.ca. — AAF

Last year’s prolonged dry spell has prompted more growers to take out insurance this year or up their coverage level. photo: Thinkstock coverage. As well, organic acres are now covered separately, and 28 producers have taken advantage of this offer. However, producers still aren’t insuring pasture and hay at the same rates as crops. Even though the number of insured acres of pasture increased by a million acres last year, only about 30 per cent of pastures are insured. Still, this is up from 25 per cent a few years ago.

Commodity producer groups have also played a role in boosting insurance uptake, and many have been talking to their members about insurance-related topics, ranging from program design, and lossadjusting procedures to premiums and coverage. This year, there have been 908 new applications for insurance,

Pulse research project shows soil benefits in 12-year experiment Combining pulse crops and soil-friendly farming practices looks like a real winner STAFF

ulse crops are playing an important role in building soil quality, especially when they’re combined with a host of soilfriendly farming techniques. That’s the finding of a 12-year study by researchers at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre, led by soil scientist Frank Larney. In the study, published in Agronomy Journal, Larney and company wrote that the crops fix nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with soil microbes — in this case bacteria — that live in their roots. The bacteria pull nitrogen from the atmosphere and then convert it to a plant-available form that’s readily available during the growing season. When the plants are harvested and the root system dies, the roots slowly decay, releasing the remaining nitrogen for the use of future crops. This sort of soil-building activity is very important, Larney said. “Soil is a limited resource, and we need to be improving our soil quality, or at least maintaining it, in order to keep growing food,” said Larney. Larney and his team went beyond this however, and examined a conservation package that included reduced tillage, narrow-row culti-

Beans cluster in narrow rows, protecting the soil beneath from erosion. Dry beans add value to the soil by taking up the plant nutrient nitrogen from the atmosphere and depositing it into the soil for other plants to use.

vation, cover crops, and manure compost to protect and bolster the soil. They avoided tillage as much as possible to avoid open soil. “You don’t want to have a bare soil situation because you’re losing moisture, which is very valuable in a semi-arid area for growing crops. And you’re also exposing that surface soil to wind and water erosion,” said Larney. Farmers can also plant dry beans in narrow rows to increase soil protection. Farmers usually plant beans in wide rows, and cultivate between the rows, which works up the soil and increases the risk of erosion. According to Larney, dry beans have now been bred to stand up taller,

They also used manure compost to bolster the organic matter in the soil. Year after year of growing crops can put a strain on organic matter levels. To combat this problem, Larney and his team added manure compost to the fields to try to replace the lost organic matter. With the large cattle feedlot industry in the area, manure is readily and widely available. “We produce a lot of manure and a lot of that is being turned into compost,” said Larney. “Many irrigation growers are quite keen on using compost on their land, and we found that we could improve soil quality over time if we applied the compost.”

making them better suited for narrow rows. Larney and his team also planted cover crops, which are useful for two reasons: They provide a protective cover over the soil through the winter months, and they use up any leftover nitrogen in the soil after harvest. If the soil was bare in winter, water and wind would steadily chip away at it, and might cause the nitrogen to move away. “Another name for them is catch crops,” said Larney. “They’re basically catching anything left over in the soil in terms of nutrients, rather than leaving them in the root zone where they could potentially leach into groundwater.”

“Soil is a limited resource, and we need to be improving our soil quality, or at least maintaining it, in order to keep growing food.”

and 711 cancellations. Most of the latter are from producers who are exiting farming or merging with another producer. Given that farm numbers continue to decline, that’s another sign that producers are worried about risk. “This is one of the few years where we’ve seen new applications exceed cancellations,” said Jacobson.

“Farmers know insurance,” said White. “Farmers like production insurance, at least on the crop side. They’re used to it. They understand it. It seems to work well for them. You can argue about the coverage levels or premiums but you do know what you’re covered for. It’s predictable.” Whole-farm revenue insurance would insure farm revenue, which is based on how much a farmer produces and the price received when it’s sold. “When you insure revenue you have price and quantity working together or against each other and that provides a natural hedge for the insurer as well,” White said. “So you can offer revenue insurance cheaper than you can offer price insurance and quantity (production) insurance separately.” It sounds like the Gross Revenue Insurance Program (GRIP), a federal program from the 1990s that was popular with farmers, but was accused of distorting planting decisions by its critics.

Cost sharing

Producers pay about 40 per cent of their coverage, the standard across Canada, with Ottawa picking up 36 per cent of the tab and the province 24 per cent. The outgoing chair of the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation recently slammed that arrangement, saying it encourages farmers to engage in poor practices. “Why should taxpayers be expected to pay insurance for those who have really incorrect farming practices? I don’t think that’s right,” said Frieda Krpan. “And I think now with climate change those things are going to come back to bite us in a big way. “Clubroot is an example and there are others. I think farmers who farm properly, who rotate well, who do all the things that have to be done — drainage and other farm practices — they are the people who should have the lowest rates.” Farmers should pay a minimum of half the costs, said Krpan.

But the program White wants studied is different, he said, because prices would be based on futures markets and therefore would be “more in line with reality.” GRIP was based on historical prices. GRIP also guaranteed revenue per acre rather than for the whole farm. The latter reduces the risk of payouts because a drop in revenue from one crop could be more than offset by higher revenue from another. “I think conceptually there are a lot of good reasons to look at this and get a lot of expertise around a table to try and detail it out and see if you can make it into a workable plan,” White said. “The concept is fine. It’s all in the design work… to see how to operationalize it.” Program insurance premiums and potential payouts would be known up front. “It’s bankable and it’s predictable and those are features we’re looking for in a good safety net program,” White said. “Right now the model we have, you hear more complaints than anything. We know we don’t have the ideal situation with the current AgriStability program.”

Whole-farm revenue insurance would be more predictable and less complex than AgriStability, says Rick White, CEO of the Canadian Canola Growers Association. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON The moral hazard would be low and it wouldn’t distort farmer decision-making, he said. “Farmers shouldn’t say, ‘It doesn’t work for me because I never got a nickel out of it,’” White said. “The government programs should be there to help the farm manager properly manage

risk. It’s not to be viewed by the farmer as an entitlement for government payments. “Predictable subsidies just get capitalized into land prices and the farmer is not better off in the end anyway, until you die and sell out, maybe.” allan@fbcpublishing.com

“For 2016, we saw the largest increase (in crop insurance) we’ve seen for a couple of years, across the province.” Merle Jacobson

But Jacobson said the current arrangement is fair. “When you compare the risk of what it takes to grow a crop compared to any other kind of risk, it’s probably one of the highest risks that there is,” he said. “This is why the government has chosen, across Canada, to provide that affordable premium that allows producers to offset their risk.” akienlen@fbcpublishing.com

Weed an enemy of disturbed soils Nominations sought for

Global Farmer Roundtable

By Dawnia Myshak Agricultural Fieldman, MD of Lesser Slave River

A World Food Prize side event is looking for participants

Noxious weeds

centless chamomile can be found across the province. Starland County, Parkland County, MD of Lesser Slave River, and Saddle Hills County are just a few of the municipalities with confirmed populations of this plant. Scentless chamomile is a prolific seed producer, with large, healthy plants able to produce up to one million seeds each. Plants have few to many highly branched stems and are known for their daisy-like flowers. Its flowers are occasionally confused with ox-eye daisy, but is easily differentiated by its fine, carrot top-like leaves. As the name suggests, scentless chamomile leaves have no odour when crushed.

Infestations are commonly caused by contaminated crop or forage seed and contaminated equipment. While this species does not compete well with healthy crops, it can still be very difficult to eradicate. Control is usually obtained by hand pulling plants. Chemical control is possible if plants are identified and sprayed early in the growing season. The fine fern-like leaves can

make chemical control difficult later in the plant’s development. This noxious weed is easily controlled if action is taken early, but control can become time consuming and costly later on. For more information on this or any invasive plant, contact your local Agricultural Fieldman (www.aaaf.ab.ca) or the Alberta Invasive Species Council(www. abinvasives.ca).

rganizers of the Global Farmer Roundtable, an invitation-only event held in conjunction with the World Food Prize Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa next October, are accepting nominations for farmers to participate. Canadian farmers are invited to nominate themselves or other farmers for this week-long opportunity to network and participate in the global dialogue around food issues. The Global Farmer Roundtable, which runs from Oct. 10-14, features a facilitated dialogue among global farmers to better understand and address the challenges of filling an increasing food and nutritional security gap. Through dialogue and time spent together they discover commonalities, share their challenges, discuss tools, technologies and strategies that can be adopted to meet these challenges, and are empowered to meet the demands of closing the food gap through shared work, message and mission. The farmers are challenged to discover the power of their unique viewpoint, refine their skills to communicate their story with impact and gain a platform to expand their circle of influence in the global food challenge debate. Nominees must be actively engaged in food production. Nominations close on June 3. For more information, please contact: Mary Boote, chief executive officer, Global Farmer Network at mboote@globalfarmernetwork.org.

HEARTLAND Three resources to read before buying land The high cost of farmland doesn’t leave room for emotion — or miscalculation Alberta Agriculture and Forestry release

arm auction sale season has begun, and a provincial farm financial specialist says a lot of retiring farmers are choosing to sell their land by public auction. “With interest rates remaining low and the majority of Alberta farms continuing to have a strong balance sheet, the demand for farmland purchase in Alberta remains robust,” said Rick Dehod. “With farm land prices continuing to appreciate, a well-researched financial and ownership plan will guard against ill-prepared land purchases, so do your homework before making a final decision.” Alberta Agriculture has three documents designed to help producers make the decision on a land purchase. These documents are: 16 Questions to Consider before Buying Farmland Why do you want to buy farmland? Land purchases should fit with your business plan and factors such as a planned expansion, bringing in a new partner, or

ensure control of productive acres. Is it a business decision or an emotional one? What is the farm business’s financial condition? Consider needed investments, expected expenditures, and crop conditions to determine if buying land is the best use for your cash, or if other opportunities would provide a better return. Be sure that the farm is financially healthy enough to handle more debt and a decrease in cash. Have you created a pro forma cash flow? It is important to confirm that the potential return will meet your goals and objectives, and that the farm can service the additional debt. Know the risk this purchase will put on your current equity. Given your revenue forecast, are you overpaying? Calculate how long it will be until you recoup your investment. Determine how much debt your farm can prudently service, and the total revenue required to service that debt. Be sure to stay within your limits.

A strong purchase plan will aid in making the purchase of land a good investment.” These documents can be found at www.agriculture.alberta.ca.

How to get a handle on farmland prices

arm Credit Canada’s recently released Farm Land Value Report and a database created by Alberta Agriculture can go a long way to helping producers establish a land value, says a provincial farm business specialist. “According to the new FCC report, Alberta’s change in farmland values was 11.6 per cent which was 1.5 per cent higher than the Canadian average,” said Ted Nibourg, noting the report is based on 245 benchmark farm properties across Canada. “It’s important to know that the farm property monitored consists of bare land representing the most prevalent Canadian land inventory agriculture class soils. FCC’s appraisers estimate market value using comparables of arm’s length sales. As land prices vary considerably across the country, FCC reports percentage changes rather than average price per acre in order to track trends in land valuation.” Alberta Agriculture has tracked land values and acres transferred in the province since 1996. Rather than tracking on a percentage basis, its data is presented in dollar amounts for each municipality and reported by Canadian Land Inventory (C.L.I.) class. The AF data also reports provincial average land values by C.L.I. class going back to 1970. “Both of these databases will give someone looking to establish a value on their land a starting point,” said Nibourg.

The provincial data shows many “peaks and valleys” in different municipalities. “Local factors, such as supply and demand or productivity issues, play into land valuation,” said Nibourg. “Anomalies in prices per acre also show up in the data. These anomalies show up mainly in price differences among various C.L.I. classes. It’s not uncommon to see higher prices for land in lower-classed categories. This is an indicator that values are not solely based on productivity but rather could be attributed to proximity to major centres or based on recreational value.” A useful method for arriving at land values that takes in productivity is capitalization analysis. “Capitalization value is determined by dividing cash rent by the Government of Canada benchmark 10 bond yield. At the time of writing the bond rate was 1.54 per cent. As an example, a piece of land yielding 40 bushels of canola per acre, 80 bushels of barley, and 55 bushels of hard red spring wheat would economically justify a cash rent of about $72 an acre. Applying capitalization analysis would give a value of almost $4,700 an acre.” Other factors affecting land values include buildings, improvements, size and contiguous property. Nibourg recommends hiring a qualified real estate appraiser specializing in farm appraisals. Lenders and law firms typically have a stable of appraisers and the Canadian National Association of Real Estate Appraisers is another source for finding one.

Canadian grain companies wary of unapproved GM crops Major American firms won’t handle GM crops not approved in major markets BY ALLAN DAWSON Staff

op U.S. grain companies have taken a hard line and are refusing genetically modified crops that haven’t been approved in major markets, while Canada’s grain industry remains more flexible. So far the Canadian companies are approaching the issue on a case-by-case basis, but that could change, according to Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association. The more flexible approach demonstrated how crop development companies have worked with the industry to date to address concerns, he said. “We have a reasonably good working relationship (with crop developers) on these issues,” said Sobkowich. “But that being said, this issue is going to get more complicated over time. We really need to turn our minds towards how we resolve these issues... because we are really dealing with them on a case-by-case basis and we are relying on the responsible commercialization policies of the life science companies. “They’ve been, so far, pretty good in making sure that market acceptance is in place, at least in the example of Xtend soybeans. Monsanto has been, so far, behaving in a responsible way.” The European Union has not approved Monsanto’s new Xtend soybeans that are tolerant to both glyphosate and dicamba, giving growers more weed control options. Members of the elevator association will not buy Xtend soybeans without EU approval.

Western Grain Elevator Association members are deciding how to deal with GM crops unapproved in major markets on a caseby-case basis, said association executive director Wade Sobkowich. PHOTO: ALLAN DAWSON Reuters recently reported many major American grain buyers have adopted the same policy for Xtend soybeans and other GM crops to avoid conflicts with buyers. In 2013 and 2014, China blocked corn shipments from the United States containing a Syngenta GM trait called Viptera that was unapproved in China. Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland each said the rejections cost them millions of dollars, and both have sued Syngenta for damages. American corn farmers are also suing Syngenta, alleging its actions lowered corn prices.

Bold yellow signs from global trader Bunge are posted at U.S. grain elevators barring 19 varieties of GM corn and soybeans that lack approval in important markets, Reuters reported. CHS, America’s largest farm co-operative, wants companies to keep seeds with new biotech traits off the market until they have full approval from major foreign buyers, Gary Anderson, a senior CHS vice-president told Reuters. “I think that would be the safest thing for the supply chain,” he said. CHS implemented a policy last year under which it will not sell seeds or buy grain with traits unapproved by importers. ADM is refusing GM crops that lack global approval. Cargill did not respond to Reuter’s requests for comment. Grain companies fear commercial fallout and financial losses, but the market won’t cover segregation costs, Sobkowich said. “We don’t feel that we should have to pay the segregation costs. And we don’t feel that the farmer ought to pay those segregation costs,” Sobkowich said. Grain company concerns aren’t restricted to GM crops, he added. Shipments can be rejected if they contain traces of unapproved pesticides. That’s why farmers need to be aware of the products they use. Grain trading would be enhanced if countries would allow the low presence of unapproved traits and pesticides so long as they have already been approved elsewhere, he added. “If we have an LLP (low level presence policy) in countries of import then that helps us if we get an inadvertent commingle,” he

said. “Then we are not out of contract or out of compliance for the country’s sanitary and phytosanitary requirements.” Monsanto was so confident of European Union approval it announced in January it would commercialize Xtend soybeans this spring in the U.S. and Canada. Some American farmers have already seeded it, but Monsanto hasn’t released it in Canada and won’t ahead of EU approval, said Monsanto spokesperson Trish Jordan. However, Monsanto will allow Xtend soybeans to be grown in Canada this year for propagation and trial purposes without EU approval, confident it will be approved before next spring, Jordan said. And even though the elevator association has said its six members — Cargill, Louis Dreyfus Canada, Parrish & Heimbecker, Paterson GlobalFoods, Richardson International and Viterra — won’t buy Xtend soybeans without EU approval, there are Canadian farmers wanting to grow the crop, Jordan said. “We are definitely hearing that in Ontario,” she said, adding that there are more weedresistance issues there than in Western Canada. “It is great new technology. But it is a moot point... because we’ve kind of got this commitment worked out with the trade... that we will not move anything into a commercial position... recognizing that they are a little antsy about having stuff that could be planted that is not yet approved.” Monsanto had expected 420,000 acres of the stacked-trait soybean to be seeded in Canada this year. “We are not likely to be anywhere near that,” Jordan said. allan@fbcpublishing.com with files from Reuters

Don’t delay scouting if you want to head off sclerotinia It’s too late to spray once sclerotinia appears, so use a checklist of environmental factors to calculate the risk BY SHANNON VANRAES Staff

pray for sclerotinia or give it a pass? That’s no simple black or white question, but one thing is certain — by the time you can see it, it’s too late. Scouting is critical as the disease relies on specific environmental conditions to flourish, including dense stands and elevated moisture levels in the crop’s canopy, said Anastasia Kubinec, an oilseed specialist with Manitoba’s Agriculture Department. “And you can’t tell that when you are driving by — you really do need to walk through it,” Kubinec said. “I think for assessing for sclerotinia application, scouting is very important because you do need that humidity and moisture in the canopy to have the infection take hold in the plant... if it is really dry, even if there is some infection the actual sclerotinia infection can dry up and then you don’t get the yield loss.” The spraying window usually falls when the plants are between 20 and 50 per cent in bloom. “You’ve got to go in and spray before you see symptoms in the field, that is why you have to go through that checklist of environmental factors and your practices to see if spraying is warranted or not,” said Justine Cornelsen, an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. The canola council offers an online calculator to decide whether or not to spray. However, Tim Gardner, a senior market development specialist at Bayer adds that the fight against sclerotinia should begin before seeds are even in the ground, when producers are still planning out their crop rotations. Having gathered questions about the fungus from farmers across the Prairies, Gardner said there are still myths out there about which crops can host the disease and which cannot. “Rotations are definitely another important consideration,” he said. “We are running crop rotations pretty tight on the whole... and the

thing is that sclerotinia is not just specific to canola, there are a lot of bridge rotation crops, it could be sunflowers, it could be peas, lentils, dry beans, all of the above.” The sclerotia bodies that cause the disease can also live in soil for as long as 10 years, said Cornelsen. “That’s why the recommended rotation if it is canola is at least four years before having it in field again,” she said. Some weeds are also hosts for the fungus, meaning even empty fields or ditches can hasten the spread of spores. As much as evaluating environmental factors is key in predicting and preventing sclerotinia losses, so too is the evaluation of economic factors. “It usually ends up boiling down to return on investment,” said Gardner. “Factor the cost of application — and obviously the product — then going out and leaving wheel tracks in the field. “I fully admit that there are years where I have seen just break-even numbers on it as well, and then the hard part about it is that I’ve also seen the hard years where people are losing up to 15 bushels per day per acre,” he said. Cornelsen offers a rough guide for the economics of spraying. “If you figure yield potential is over 30 bushels an acre it is just a safe insurance to spray,” she said, provided you have a high number of risk factors. Kubinec adds producers also need to calculate their margins carefully, looking at market conditions as well. “With 30 bushels per acre you have to know how much you are making per bushel too, if you’re only making $6 a bushel on canola — and I hope we never get there again — 30 bushels isn’t going to pay for it,” she said. “You may still have a little bit of sclerotinia in the crops, but it’s not the 50 per cent or the 80 per cent yield lost that guys were getting in the early ’80s when there were no products to use on canola.” shannon.vanraes@fbcpublishing.com

photo: Thinkstock menu items — but the same doesn’t hold true for lentils, Cutts said. “Potentially there is some interaction with lentil crops and grasshoppers. It will come down to numbers and weather conditions.” Numbers could take a hit, though, if there’s a major rainstorm at a crucial time, Cutts said. “If they were just hatching and there was a significant rainfall event, that’s when they are susceptible. Prior to that, heavy rain on eggs themselves typically doesn’t cause a lot of concerns.” Once the insects are fully grown, though, they can simply crawl up on a plant to escape water threats.

mild winter and a warm, dry spring have created some favourable hatching conditions for grasshoppers in Alberta, with the possibility of a severe outbreak in some areas. Higher numbers of grasshoppers are forecast for the region northwest of Edmonton and Peace River area, with potential for a severe to very severe outbreak in the North Peace. The problem is more muted in southern Alberta, where numbers are generally rated moderate to very light with the odd severe patch. “They’re (grasshoppers) not scared off by northern latitudes; (the) northern Peace has been dry, so that’s always a good recipe for population increases because that’s kind of what they thrive on, is those drytype conditions,” said Mark Cutts, a crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. “The potential for good hatches is there; even areas that are light may end up with good hatches.” As crops emerge, he expects the pests to move into cereal crops or another preferred food. Fortunately for pea growers, grasshoppers don’t count peas as their favourite

he Canadian Foodgrains Bank enjoyed another year of stellar support from Albertans — and every dollar of the $2.6 million raised in the province in 2015 was put to good use. “There is a lot of need,” said Terence Barg, one of the Foodgrains Bank’s two co-ordinators in Alberta. The organization, a partnership of 15 churches and church-based agencies, works in more than three dozen countries, but the Syrian refugees crisis has become a top priority. “We’ve been working in Syria since 2012 and we’re feeding people in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan,” said Barg. “Right now, there are over eight million people displaced within Syria and more than 3.5 million have left for neighbouring countries. They fled with nothing and have no way to generate an income to purchase food. They need food today and that’s why we’re doing food assistance.” Most of the money raised in Alberta comes from growing projects and there were 34 in the province last year. Those projects and two other events raised $1.74 million, with the remainder coming from individual donations. “All of our food assistance gets matched on a four-to-one basis,” noted Barg. “So what that means is that $1 donated equates to $5 because the federal government puts in $4.” The number of growing projects has been stable in recent years, with one or two new ones offsetting those that don’t continue — usually because they lose the land they’re renting. This year, there are new projects near High River and Neerlandia, although new is the wrong term to describe the latter. “Neerlandia had one of the first growing projects in Alberta, pos-

The generosity and commitment of Canadian Foodgrains Bank growing project participants is outstanding, says Terence Barg (right), shown here with Ken Pohl, organizer of the Farming with Horses growing project (and owner of this vintage John Deere-Van Brunt seed drill). sibly the first, and then a number of years ago, the land they were renting was sold,” said Barg. “But they decided to go again and found some land to rent, so we’re excited to see them going again.” There are growing projects in all parts of the province (a map of them can be found in the Get Involved section of www. foodgrainsbank.ca) and each one is a community effort. “Each growing project will have from four to 15 people involved — that will be the core and often there will be a number of other people doing the farming, fundraising, and those sorts of things,” said Barg. “What strikes me the most is the generosity of people and their commitment to the cause of feeding those in need. Some of these projects have been going for 15 or 20 years and those groups are continually working to keep the project going. They’re committed year after year — it’s not a one-off.”

New speech competition for young Albertans

he Alberta Young Speakers for Agriculture is holding an inaugural public speaking competition for Alberta youth to share their passion about the agricultural industry. The competition will be held during the Calgary Stampede on July 13 and offers youth ages 11 to 24 an opportunity to share their views on a topic important to agriculture. Participants must give a five- to seven-minute speech on topics important to the agricultural industry. The winner will receive a cash prize of up to $1,000 and be eligible to compete in the Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture competition in Toronto. The topics for the 2016 competition are: • What is the impact of public opinion on Canadian farmers? • How would you explain a GMO to a non-farmer? • What does the next generation of agriculture bring to the table? • How can we improve the media’s perception of Canadian agriculture? • Old MacDonald had a farm … But what about Mrs. MacDonald?

Border red tape hindering food shipping With so much food flowing across the border in both directions, it’s time to streamline how it’s done By Alex Binkley

“Drivers are no longer just truck drivers and need to operate a safe vehicle. They must have a knowledge and also the ability to handle food products.”

AF correspondent

arrying food across the border can at times be a major headache for transportation companies and their drivers. The agri-food sector generates a significant portion of the daily cross-border truck traffic, but there are major challenges, Stephen Laskowski, senior vice-president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, told the Senate agriculture committee recently. “The vast majority of these shipments is moved by truck,” he said, noting that in 2014, 89 per cent of the output of Canadian food processors flowed south to the U.S. Among the challenges truckers have serving the sector is a big stack of regulations in both countries, border crossings without 24-7 food inspection, a shortage of drivers and rules for livestock transport. Trucking companies have had to introduce preventive control measures to work with shippers to meet the regulatory requirements, he said. The Safe Food for Canadians Act and the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act rule on sanitary transportation of human and animal food “have a significant impact on our carriers’ operations.” Canadian carriers are working to become compliant with the American requirements, he added. The U.S. rule is one of seven fundamental rules proposed since January 2013 to create a modern risk-based framework for food safety. The goal of this rule is to prevent practices during transportation that create food safety risks, such as failure to properly refrigerate food, inadequate cleaning of vehicles between loads, and failure to properly protect food.

Stephen Laskowski

Canadian truckers say it’s time to ease the red tape and streamline food shipments across the Canada-U.S. border. PHOTO: THINKSTOCK “This means that when carriers load trucks, they have to know what they are doing,” Laskowski said. “What this means, then, is that drivers are no longer just truck drivers and need to operate a safe vehicle. They must have a knowledge and also the ability to handle food products.” About a decade ago, the trucking industry developed a food safety program “that would encompass HACCP’s basic process for addressing food safety issues.” Now known as Iron Apple, the program

ensures participating companies and their drivers are compliant with both the U.S. and Canadian rules. Having done all this, the trucking industry would like to see the two national governments ensure shippers don’t bring in a slew of different programs so shipping companies wind up having to “... comply with 20 different programs, instead of just one,” he said. He said an immediate issue that could ease trade would be making sure 24-7 food inspection was available at more points of entry and exit.

“The U.S. and Canadian government need to modernize the hours of operation of these agencies at the border,” he said. The U.S. has imposed border fees to recoup the cost of conducting agriculture quarantine inspections at U.S. ports of entry. “CTA believes that these fees are illegal,” he said. “Ottawa should be pressuring Washington to remove them.” The move to electronic log books for drivers may complicate the operations of livestock carriers in terms of providing proper care for the animals and meeting hours of service regulations, he noted. “An analysis needs to be done here because no one is going to advocate for reduced highway safety, but we do have to deal with the rights of the animals we are hauling,” he said. “It needs to be balanced.” He added livestock drivers have a unique professional profile. “They are part farmer and professional truck driver,” he said. “It is unfortunate because some shippers who engage these drivers really don’t respect the skill sets that they bring on.”
