Armchair economist

t’s been said that anyone who thinks about economic forecasts for more I than about a half an hour a year is wasting their life. A professional economist told me that, and what she was getting at is the intrac- table nature of economics. Even the experts can’t agree on what’s happening, or has happened, never mind what will. The best forecasts are at best informed Gord Gilmour opinion. Editor Yet despite this, I will confess to hav- ing an outsized interest in the field. If money makes the world go around, I have a fascination with the machinery of that system. Somehow over the years I have developed opinions on esoteric topics like monetary policy, interest rates and the role of central banks in the economy.

FARM COMMUNITY Continued from page 1 families experience when a farm partner is suddenly gone. There were 2,000 acres to har- vest, none of which had been swathed, on the farm near Ste. Elizabeth. And the farm’s hog- shipping cycle was set to start — there were 2,000 hogs to ship to Maple Leaf in Brandon. Penner was immediately and completely overwhelmed. “So many shocks come at you at once,” he said. “The farm was set up where I had my jobs and he had his jobs and we’d done it for so long we didn’t have to talk a whole lot about who was doing what,” he said. “And like I said, we’d always known what each other was doing, and we’d get done what needed to get done.” Yet, in the hours that would follow, Penner would learn he wasn’t the only one wondering what would happen next.

‘We need to do something’ Nearby, farmers Harold Janzen and Art Enns sat on Art’s back- yard deck the evening of the accident, talking over what had happened that day. Janzen’s wife and daughter had come upon the accident right after Udo Penner was a great friend and neighbour, say those who came to the aid of his son this summer.

The impact of La Niña, when waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean cool after a phase of El Niño, is not as severe — but the weather pattern has also been linked to floods and droughts. “EL Niño has caused primar- ily a food and agricultural cri- sis,” FAO director general Jose Graziano da Silva said at a meet- ing of UN agencies in Rome to discuss the impact of El Niño in Africa and Asia Pacific. He said almost $4 billion was needed to meet the humani- tarian demands of countries affected by El Niño. The United Nations has called on governments and the inter- national community to increase efforts to boost the resilience of “highly vulnerable” communi- ties who are struggling to feed themselves, as well as to help them prepare for La Niña. Macharia Kamau, UN spe- cial envoy on El Niño and cli- mate, said a failure to adapt to the “new normal” of increasing climate-related emergencies like El Niño and La Niña would threaten progress on UN devel- opment goals. Weather forecasters in Japan, Australia and the United States predict a 50 per cent to 75 per cent chance of La Niña develop- ing in the second half of 2016.

Parasites could be costing you big bucks without you even realizing it Infected cattle often look healthy, but their daily gain might be up to half a pound lower than it should be

By ALEXIS KIENLEN STAFF/CALGARY

ittle is known about the impact of parasites on L Canadian cattle production. But one thing is sure — resistance to the medication used to treat these parasites is growing. “There’s a lack of local informa- tion and a lack of information on parasites in Canada. That’s a prob- lem,” John Gilleard, professor of parasitology in the University of Calgary’s School of Veterinary Medicine, said at last month’s Canadian Beef Industry Conference. Parasites live in the gastrointes- tinal tract and produce eggs which are passed in the feces. These eggs develop in the pasture, and are reingested when animals graze. These parasites cost Alberta’s cat- tle industry tens of millions of dol- lars a year — and perhaps quite a bit more — in lost production and treatment costs. For all of North America, the bill is estimated to be more than $2 billion annually. Cold winters kill some parasites

U.S. agency reduces the last round outlook for La Niña in 2016-17 NEW YORK/REUTERS / A U.S. government weather forecaster reduced its out- look on Sept. 8 for La Niña conditions to develop during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter of 2016-17, saying neutral conditions were more likely. The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), an agency of the National Weather Service, said in a monthly forecast there was a 55 to 60 per cent chance of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-neutral conditions. The CPC had said last month that La Niña condi- tions were slightly favoured to occur. La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equato- rial Pacific Ocean. It tends to occur unpredictably every two to seven years. Severe occurrences have been linked to floods and droughts. Environment Canada has previously said La Niña, dur- ing the winter, is often linked to above-average precipita- tion in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec and Three combines race to the finish line in a Manitoba field as harvest is in full swing across the province. photo: suzanne paddock colder-than-normal tem- peratures on the Prairies.

Somebody should speak up.

Somebody should set the record straight. Somebody should do something. Well I’m somebody. You’re somebody. Everyone in ag is somebody.

So be somebody who does something.

Somebody who speaks from a place of experience, with passion and conviction. Somebody who proudly takes part in food conversations big or small, so our voice is heard.

Somebody who tells our story, before someone else does. Be somebody who does something. Be an agvocate. Somebody who builds consumer trust so our industry can meet the demands of a growing, and very hungry, world.

Somebody who shapes people’s relationship AgMoreThanEver.ca with agriculture. It can be done.

But it’s a big job that takes co-operation, patience and respect for every voice in the conversation. We need to build lines of communication, not draw lines in the sand.

Be somebody who helps everybody see Canadian agriculture as the vital, modern industry it is. Somebody who helps everybody see people in ag for what they are – neighbours, friends and family who share the same concern everyone does: providing safe, healthy food to the people we love.

Our point of view is important. Our story is important. And people want to hear what we have to say. So be somebody who takes, and makes, every opportunity to share it.

I’m somebody. You’re somebody.

Together, we can tell everybody. 24 The Manitoba Co-operator | September 15, 2016 Indian scientist develops GM cotton after success with mustard The development lends ammunition to the Indian government who has told Monsanto it wants to see royalty cuts

By Isaiah Esipisu NAIROBI / Thomson Reuters Foundation

frican countries that took early action in the past decade to invest in agriculture have reaped the A rewards, enjoying higher economic growth and a bigger drop in malnutrition, a major farming develop- ment organization said Sept. 6. In a report, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) said: “After decades of stagnation, much of Africa has enjoyed sustained agricultural productivity growth since 2005.” That has helped push down poverty rates in places like Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, it added. Countries that adopted the policies promoted by the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) not long after it was created by African Union governments in 2003 saw productivity on existing farm- lands rise by 5.9 to 6.7 per cent per year, the report said. That helped spur a 4.3 per cent average annual increase in gross domestic product (GDP). By contrast, states that sat on the sidelines saw farm productivity rise by less than three per cent a year and GDP by only 2.2 per cent, said the Africa Agriculture Status Report 2016. “The last 10 years have made a strong case for agri- culture as the surest path to producing sustainable eco- nomic growth that is felt in all sectors of society — and particularly among poor Africans,” AGRA president Agnes Kalibata said in a statement.

BY DAVID LAWDER New York/Reuters

acing deeply entrenched differ- ences and political headwinds, F the top negotiators trying to reach a sweeping U.S.-European free trade deal avoided agriculture, public procurement and other thorny issues in talks during the last week of April. Instead, Assistant U.S. Trade Representative Daniel Mullaney and European Commission lead negoti- ator Ignacio Garcia Bercera said on April 29 they concentrated on less controversial areas such as small and medium enterprises and technical language. But both insisted after their 13th negotiating round in New York that they can still reach a deal this year before U.S. President Barack Obama leaves office in January. Mullaney said concerns over a June referendum in Britain over whether to leave the European Union would not slow efforts to reach a deal to boost trade, investment and job growth on both continents, and nor would anti- trade rhetoric from the U.S. presiden- tial campaign trail. “We’re confident that we can achieve that kind of an agreement and that when we do, later this year, it’ll be an agreement that the public on both sides of the Atlantic can sup- A worker walks in a special room where Parma hams are hung to dry in Langhirano near Parma.

European Commission agricultural negotiator John Clarke shot back that Europe would fiercely defend its geographical indications, including Asiago, from U.S. imports. “You will certainly not be able to export Asiago from the (U.S.) to Europe. That’s absolutely impossible,” Clarke said. The services sector remains another problem area, with U.S. officials insisting Europe drop exclusions for some 200 sectors, and European offi- cials frustrated at the U.S. refusal to open up its coastal maritime transport sector. The EU’s Garcia Bercera said he was mindful of the public debate in the negotiations. “We believe that the task is to con- BKT Tires (CANADA) Inc. vince public opinion in Europe and Tel: AG/IND 905-641-5636 the United States that trade agree- AG/IND 604-701-9098 ments are instruments to better man- age globalization,” he said.

The Industrial Revolution began around 1750 in Britain, with a surge in the use of coal to power factories, ships and railways, and gradually spread around the world. Greenhouse gases at the time were only a fraction of those now blamed for trapping exces- sive levels of the sun’s heat in the atmosphere, stoking more droughts, floods, heat waves and rising sea levels. “Our findings show that the climate can respond very quickly to changes in green- house gases,” lead author Nerilie Abram, of the Australian National University, told Reuters of the findings published in the journal Nature. The scientists detected a rise in temperatures in the 19th cen- tury by studying the growth of old trees, corals, the makeup of lake sediments and air trapped in ice cores in Antarctica. Their computer models showed that natural factors — such as changes in the sun’s energy output or the Earth’s orbit — could not fully explain the One thing’s invigorated in the neighbour’s warming trend. field: the cleavers.

Last year, almost 200 nations agreed at a Paris summit to shift from fossil fuels and set a goal of limiting rises in average sur- face temperatures to “well below” 2 C (3.6 F) above pre-industrial times, ideally below 1.5 C. The Paris deal does not define pre-industrial. Temperatures this year, likely to set new records, are just over 1 C above levels in the 1880s, a widely used baseline in climate science.

BY JARRETT RENSHAW AND CHRIS PRENTICE NEW YORK / Reuters

.S. oil refiners, beset by the weakest profit margins in six U years, have been laying off workers, revamping operations and ratcheting up pressure on regulators and lawmakers to tweak the renew- able fuel program, whose costs have ballooned. The top 10 U.S. independent refin- ers look set to take a record hit on renewable fuel credits this year. They spent US$1.1 billion on the credits in the first half of the year, just short of a record US$1.3 billion in all of 2013. (All figures U.S. funds.) Refiners without operations dedi- cated to selling blended fuels to con- sumers, must purchase credits to prove compliance with U.S. clean- fuel mandates. These “merchant refiners” are required to blend biofuels like eth- anol with gasoline or other petro- leum products, or else meet those obligations by purchasing paper “credits” called renewable identifica- tion numbers (RINs) in an opaque market. Meeting these standards once cost just pennies a gallon. But costs have risen in recent years and become a pressure point for independent Pressure is growing from gasoline refiners to rethink the structure of biofuel mandates.

h e r e ' s l i t t l e d o u b t Hutterites have a long T agrarian history. Some time after settling in Raditschev, in northern Russia in 1770, they were taught to farm by Johann Cornies – whose role was similar to that of agriculture minister – by placing Hutterite young peo- ple on Mennonite farms. The Mennonites had arrived in southern Russia decades ear- lier, and were successfully “dry farming” in the Chortitza area. In 1874, the Hutterites immi- grated to North America. “We are farmers,” they told President Grant and he invited them to settle in Dakota Territory. For the next 40 years, they engaged in agriculture, producing grain, sorghum, broomgrass and silage corn, as well as live- stock, including milk and egg production. Harassed during the First World War for refusing to par- ticipate in the military effort, the Hutterites immigrated to Canada, settling in the Prairie provinces, where they contin- ued to farm and improve their Brennan School students from Elm Creek Colony gained greater insight into agriculture by participating in Agriculture in the Classroom programs last year.

Cut your food waste with a few helpful tips Too often perfectly safe food is being thrown away, as much as 90 billion pounds a year

BY JULIE GARDEN-ROBINSON NDSU Extension Service

“ id you eat the potatoes I gave you?” I asked my son. He has been living in an D apartment for a couple of months now. I had given him some large baking potatoes. I thought they would be the basis of an easy meal. Just scrub, poke a few holes and bake. I bought him a can of chili so he could warm it and add some shredded cheese. I was a mom with good intentions. He hesitated, then responded, “No, I didn’t. I guess I forgot about them. They had sprouts growing on them.” “You could remove the sprouts. Were the potatoes soft?” I probed. I knew where this conversation was going. “Yeah, they were really soft and had liquid coming out of them, too. I threw them,” he admitted. I probably wrinkled my nose at the thought of potatoes reaching that state. We have had a couple of post-vacation discoveries of rotten potatoes in the cupboard. We just followed our noses. When you are a college guy, time is limited and cooking usually is not your No. 1 priority. Waiting an hour for a potato to bake may seem like a waste of time when you could be hang- ing out with friends somewhere else. I guess I forgot to mention he could cook a potato in a microwave oven.

This Old Elevator

n the 1950s, there were over 700 grain elevators in Manitoba. Today there are fewer than 200. You can help to preserve the legacy of these Idisappearing “Prairie Sentinels. The Manitoba Historical Society ((MHS) is gathering information about all elevators that ever stood in Manitoba, regardless of their present status. Collaborating with the Manitoba Cooperator it is sup- plying these images of a grain elevator each week in hoes readers will be able to tell the society more about it, or any other elevator they know of. MHS Gordon Goldsborough webmaster and Journal editor has developed a website to post your replies to a series of questions about elevators. The MHS is interested in all grain elevators that have served the farm community. You contributions will help gather historical information such as present status of elevators, names of companies, owners and agents, rail lines, year elevators were built, and dates when they were torn down if applicable. There is room on the website to post personal recollections and sto- ries related to grain elevators. The MHS presently also has only a partial list of all elevators that have been demolished. You can help by updating that list if you know of one those not included on that list. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and will help the MHS develop a comprehensive, searchable database to preserve the farm community's collective knowledge of what was once a vast network of grain elevators across Manitoba.
