The value of natural capital

t’s hard to imagine that just one year ago, many areas of the province still had too much moisture. True, some farmers, such as those Ialong the Assiniboine River downstream of the Shellmouth Dam are still suffering from too much water. But the story for the rest of the province this year is all about the other “D” word: drought. Until a week or so ago, it looked like the Laura Rance worsening situation sweeping across the Editor U.S. would spare the Northern Great Plains. As of last week, more than half of all coun- ties in the United States had been designated disaster areas by USDA, mainly due to drought. With early-seeded crops in the bin in good shape and poised to cash in on the record prices, attention here has now turned to the crops still reaching maturity. It’s becoming apparent that even a good shot of rain won’t be enough to prevent yield losses for soybeans, corn and some of the other specialty, high-value crops farmers here were counting on. With groundwater reserves becoming scarce in some areas and river levels dropping, even irrigation supplies are looking You can’t manage what a little sketchy. It’s unfortunate, but predictable. Scientists have been forecasting this kind of feast-to-famine moisture scenario in you won’t measure climate change models over the past decade.

Since the WTO ruling was released, Canadian officials have discussed the handling of the issue with the CCA, the Canadian Pork Council, the Canadian Meat Council and other interested industry groups. There has also been a lot of discussion among the three governments as well. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says Canada wants an end to the discrimination against its livestock and meat products as soon as possible. Since the start of COOL’s labelling and tracking sys- tem in 2008, Canadian live- stock and meat sales to the U.S. have dropped by about 50 per cent. Canada tried con- sultations with the U.S. in 2009 and when that failed to resolve the impasse, took the issue to the WTO. COOL has cost hog produc- ers at least $1.4 billion during the last five years while the CCA says beef producers are losing about $150 million a year because of it.

The initiative started a few years ago when Steve Larocque, a farmer interested in controlled-traffic farming, began looking at vac- uum planters for seeding canola. Then last fall, a group of producers approached a Monosem dealer in Lethbridge and asked for a small planter for trials to test different row spacing and seeding rates. One of those growers, Craig Shaw of Durango Farms near Lacombe, tried a vacuum planter on his fields this spring. Craig Shaw, operator of Durango Farms, explains a vacuum planter at Controlled-Traffic Farming Day near Lacombe.

The commissions can now col- lect refundable checkoffs to fund research, marketing and promo- tion. They began operations on Aug. 1. The Alberta Wheat Commis- sion will represent the interests of 11,000 wheat producers of all seven classes of wheat grown in Alberta, and is the first all-wheat commission in Canada.

The esti- mated $3.5 million annual rev- enue raised through the service charge will fund research, mar- ket development activities, policy and advocacy initiatives, as well as educational opportunities.
