And, as is often the case, the story had to be condensed to a size that fit the contraints of a weekly tabloid newspaper. We also made the decision to give CGC administrators oversight in how their story will be told. After all, when you’re celebrating a 100th birthday, you should get to have some license in such matters. But history also speaks for itself, and the Canadian Grain Commission’s story is a proud one. The commission was born of a need to provide some Moving beyond supply management checks and balances in Canadian grain marketing. Then, as now, this region was seen as a vast sea of opportunity.

The Manitoba Co-operator | April 5, 2012 5 COMMENT/FEEDBACK Foreign traders vying for piece of North American grain-handling sector The urgency to operate in the United States or Canada has grown because of increasing global demand for crops

By Tom Polansek and Rod Nickel chicago/winnipeg / reuters

or decades, the world’s leading grain traders like Cargill and F Bunge enjoyed an unparal- leled advantage: their smaller North American competitors lacked the flexibility and diversity of a global operation, and their foreign rivals lacked access to the biggest and most stable exporters in the world. That’s about to change. Large U.S. and Canadian grain companies that have come up for sale are offering Asian and European traders like Glencore and Noble Group a rare chance to secure a foothold in the market. They are jumping on the opportunities in hopes of expanding operations and profits in the low-margin, high-volume business of grain handling, creating unprecedented new competition for traditional players on their home turf and the largest wave of consolidation in the industry since Cargill bought rival Continental Grain in the late 1990s. The urgency to operate in the United States or Canada, countries that account for more than a third of the world’s corn and wheat exports, has grown because of increasing global demand for crops. Other producers like Argentina and Russia have frustrated grain traders in recent years by curbing exports and bringing in disappointing harvests. “If you really want to have an origin for corn, wheat and soybeans, the U.S. is the place,” said Harold Reed, chief operating officer of The Andersons, an Ohio-based grain and ethanol company.

The place to be International traders, well aware of demand pressures, “see the U.S. and Canada as the one sound photo: kathlyn hossack anchor that just doesn’t ever go away,” Reed said. “The government is reliable, the export program is makes it even more critical for com- Dreyfus has considered mergers cerns.

It also attracts tiny parasitoid wasps to provide a second line of defence for crops by laying eggs in the aphids. “(It) eats the aphids from the inside out so it takes out the population on the crop,” Pickett said. “We are providing a totally new way of controlling the pests that doesn’t rely on toxic modes of action,” he told a media briefing. The wheat has been modified using a gene found in peppermint plants, he added, although the smell was more like Granny Smith apples and too faint to be detected by humans. Pickett said the field trials, at Rothamsted’s research facility in Hertfordshire, used a spring-planted variety of the wheat cultivar Cadenza. He said the approach could eventually be used to protect other crops and flowers from aphids. There are no other GM wheat trials currently being conducted in Britain although there are two involving GM potatoes. T:10” Pete Riley, campaign director for campaign group GM Freeze, which opposes use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), said he had several concerns and believed there were better alternatives for controlling aphids. “There are natural alternatives with which, if you design your farm right with plenty of cover and food for predators and parasitic wasps, you can control aphids pretty effectively and that has been demonstrated in the U.K.,” he said. “We don’t see any need for this technology other than it is potentially more profitable to do GM than to tell farmers how to create the right The complete solution.

OHis interest kindled by a visit to Thailand, Lorne Heshka has been growing and photographing orchids for the last 20 years. He took part in the Manitoba Orchid Society’s 2012 Annual Orchid Show & Sale at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory this March. “The people in Thailand took me to an orchid butterfly house, and I said, you go look at the butterflies, these flowers really intrigue me,” he explained. “My eyes lit up when I saw those orchids, and when I left Thailand they gave me a bunch to bring back.” Heshka, also a past president of the Manitoba Orchid Society, said it was the best thing that could have happened to him.

While there are certainly differences in cost, it is most important to select a system that meets a producer’s individual objectives without compromising performance.

Dry weather now main concern for European grain farmers PARIS / REUTERS / Grain farmers in western Europe are keeping their eyes on rain forecasts as concerns mount persistent dryness could further cut yields following an unusually cold winter. In France, ground- water levels are below normal after a dry February accentuated a lack of rainfall since the autumn. However, dry weather has allowed French farmers to sow spring barley and spring wheat on damaged fields worst hit by freezing weather. An estimated 700,000 hec- tares, or eight per cent of winter grains and oilseeds, may need to be replanted. In Germany, arctic- style weather earlier this winter may have damaged grain crops more seriously than expected, but the rapeseed outlook remains positive and the harvest may rise 26 per cent from last year. British crops are in generally good condition but in Spain, the driest winter in 40 years will cut yields of winter grains by 30 to 60 per cent.
