The inTernaTional year of pulses is expected to increase the demand for puls-es in Canada.

“it helps the Canadian industry grow and it keeps our Canadian pulses compet-itive at farmgate, when we sell them,” said allison ammeter, Canadian chair of the international year of pulses committee.

ammeter said the United nations desig-nation will bring attention to issues such as nutrition, food security and environ-mental sustainability.

“as we increase the awareness of pulses, we increase the consumption of pulses, we’re going to need to increase growing pulses and that’s always a good thing for farmers,” she said.

ammeter said the committee plans to increase the awareness of pulses through activities that target specific groups, such as ag-in-the-classroom activities and lunch-and-earns for people in the dieti-cian and medical industry.

“For each individual target group, we have designed ways of showing them where pulses are a good fit,” ammeter said.

Pulse Canada chair lee Moats said the designation has big opportunities for the global pulse industry.

“We look back at some of the internation-al years that have occurred in recent times — quinoa is one of the ones (from) just a few years back — and we see what that kind of attention and focus has done for that crop on the demand side,” Moats said.

The year has significant potential for Ca-nadian producers because Canada is the world’s largest pulse exporter.

however, a designated year can also in-crease domestic demand because it helps show consumers the different possibili-ties for eating certain food, which increas-es demand.

“The potential is to kind of awaken their interest in linking their need for healthy foods to foods that we grow right here in Saskatchewan or in Western Canada,” Moats said.

increasing domestic consumption also reduces the need to transport crops to ex-port markets, he added.

“(international year of pulses) has this chance or this potential to just fast for-ward all of this effort to help pulses find their ways into the hearts and minds and

stomachs of consumers right around the world, but particularly in north america,” Moats said.

he said pulse associations hope the in-vestments they are making in health and nutrition research will continue beyond next year.

“We hope that all of those activities end up driving us in the future to the very best re-search that we can do, yielding results both in the short and long term.”

MUrray harTMan, an alberta agri-culture oilseed specialist, said consider-able work and money is devoted to the long-term implications of climate change, but more research is needed to show how farmers can cope with new weather pat-terns.

“From a farming point of view, that is practical and useful,” he says.

“What weather is going to be 30 years from now is not so important. What weather will be in three months, that is important.”

Farmers need better seasonal forecasts to assist in planning, he added.

“We can’t control the weather, but if we could predict the weather that would be the next best thing. Weather forecasts have a pretty bad reputation.”

For example, May to July precipitation forecasts should be available by april 15 to help plan for seeding. Farmers might also value how many days could be warmer than 30 C and when to expect the last spring frost.

other useful information includes snow pack depths and winter temperature min-imums to help determine whether crops such as winter canola might survive.

hartman said other research should start looking at how to capture the benefits of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Farmers need to know which plants do better when there is more carbon dioxide available and how might they respond to nitrogen. Some may have stronger root systems and greater nitrogen uptake if more carbon dioxide is present.

ray Garnett of agro Climatic Consulting of Winnipeg said getting as specific as farmers might like is a tall order, but offer-ing forecasts over a large area is easier.

he works with private clients on season-al forecasts and will be releasing his next

prediction in December. environment Canada provides seasonal

forecasts. however, this year it predicted above normal early spring precipitation for the Prairies, when in realty the oppo-site happened and drought prevailed across the West.

The government department uses a global circulation model on a super com-puter to make long-range forecasts, but it cannot simulate clouds or stratospheric wind reversals.

Garnett takes a different approach. his forecast includes an analysis of glob-

al phenomena such as the Pacific decadel oscillation. ocean movement and sea sur-face temperatures can affect climate, and the current conditions are indicating a mild prairie winter.

he also monitors solar activity and the

Madden Julian oscillation, which is a 30-to-50-day event that can affect West-ern Canada’s climate.

Sunspots run in cycles, and the world is in year eight of the current cycle, in which there is less activity. The current cycle has already lasted longer than the usual 11 years of quiet and flare ups.

“on an annual basis with low sunspot activity, the Prairies are wetter than nor-mal,” he said.

Cosmic rays provide a cloud seeding ef-fect when the sun is inactive and cause more rain.

Drier weather occurs during periods of high sunspot activity.

Garnett is also anticipating a cooling trend because of low solar activity.

rebellion breWinG didn’t know what to think last year when aGT Foods and in-gredients approached it about making a beer with lentils, but it was intrigued.

“We did a lot of research on it, what we could find, and there wasn’t much done with lentils in regards to beer … anywhere in north america or the world for that matter,” said Jamie Singer, president and brew master of the regina brewery.

aGT came up with the idea of bringing beer and lentils together because it want-ed to develop more interesting and inno-vative food products using pulses.

“i think it’s through innovative and cool projects like the lentil Cream ale with re-bellion that hopefully is going to raise the profile of lentils from Saskatchewan,” said omer al-Katib, director of corporate af-fairs and investor relations at aGT.

The United nations declared 2016 as inter-

national year of Pulses and having a greater variety of pulse products on the market, even in beer, is one of the goals for the year.

aGT provided rebellion with its King red lentils, and after a few test batches the brewer found the right recipe with 20 per-cent of lentils mixed with malt barley.

The light beer has four percent alcohol content, has a pale straw colour and a haze from the proteins in the lentils.

“it’s got that sort of nutty earthy taste some would say is a result of the yeast in conjunc-tion with the lentils themselves while also giving out a bit of a citrus-like flavour in ad-dition to the earthiness,” Singer said.

rebellion launched its lentil Cream ale nov. 4 at louis’ Pub on the University of Saskatchewan campus. Distribution is currently limited to the pub and the brew-ery in regina.

“We’ve had a lot of positive feedback, not only from the people drinking it here but from even the rural community, the farm-ers that actually produce this,” Singer said. “There’s several that are coming in here and saying, ‘hey, when can we get this out in our area?’ ”

one of the goals for the Canadian com-mittee organizing events for international

year of Pulses 2016 is to encourage con-sumers and food processors to think of pulses not only as a whole food in soups or stews but also as an ingredient. Pulses can be milled to produce flour and further pro-cessed into components such as protein.

The committee is planning a two part Pulse ingredients Workshop Series for next year.

The first part, called Practical Use of Pulses in healthy Foods, will be held in Winnipeg april 26-28

“The first part of this training series we’re doing is at (the Canadian interna-tional Grains institute) and it will be teaching the participants on the various ways of milling pulses,” said allison am-meter, Canadian chair of international year of Pulses 2016.

“There are several different methods you can use in order to get what you want from the pulse flour.”

The second part will take place in Saska-toon Sept. 21-23 and will be hosted by PoS bio-Sciences and the Saskatchewan Food industry Development Centre. it will focus on how to get pulses into various products.

Grain CoMPanieS are devising mar-keting solutions for canola treated with quinclorac and trying to keep it out of shipments destined for China and Japan.

Quinclorac is the active ingredient in Clever, a herbicide to control cleavers that was sold by Great northern Growers this spring and applied on up to 1.2 percent of Canada’s canola.

The company received Pest Management regulatory agency approval for the prod-uct May 29 and decided to sell it to growers despite the lack of established maximum residue limits (Mrls) in China and Japan, Canada’s two biggest export markets.

Grain companies initially said they would not accept quinclorac-treated canola but have since softened their stance because some of their biggest and longest standing farmer customers used the product.

“Some companies decided they would try and work with those farmer customers to find outlets for it,” said Wade Sobko-wich, executive director of the Western Grain elevator association.

he said segregation programs are not in-dustry-wide; they are only occurring with

certain companies at certain locations. “i continue to hear about farmers and get

calls from farmers who are unable to de-liver quinclorac-treated canola,” he said.

The segregated product is sold to mar-kets where Mrls are in place: Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Sean Cooper, head of corporate develop-ment with Great northern Growers, is pleased that many farmers are able to sell their quinclorac-treated canola.

he believes a similar system should be implemented next year so that growers can boost yields by controlling cleavers in their fields while still having a market for their crops.

“it may be difficult, but it’s far from im-possible and it’s clearly being done al-ready,” said Cooper.

however, grain companies and the Canola Council of Canada do not want Clever or any other quinclorac product on the market until Mrls are in place in all key export markets.

The council had asked Great northern Growers not to commercialize the prod-uct this year.

it says responsible introduction of pesti-cides is crucial to maintaining an efficient grain handling and transportation system, while segregation and testing bogs down the system and adds unnecessary costs.

“Very soon you’ve got an inefficient and very expensive canola industry,” said council president Patti Miller.

however, the real big threat is what hap-

pens if quinclorac-treated canola gets on-to a shipment to Japan or China and is found to exceed their tolerance levels.

That would require rerouting a 60,000 tonne vessel containing $33.5 million of canola damaging Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier .

“That’s why we get so excited,” said Miller. China has a zero tolerance policy, while

Japan’s fall-back position until its Mrl is established is 10 parts per billion.

Japan is expected to implement a two parts per million Mrl by the end of February.

Miller said China’s process for establish-ing Mrls is confusing and unpredictable.

Sobkowich said China is working through Codex, which is expected to take another two to three years.

he said there is something wrong when a company like Great northern Grain rushes a product to market but does not bear any of the risks or costs associated with its actions.

“That’s part of the problem that we see here is that he who stands to benefit should be he who bears the risk,” said Sobkowich.

Cooper said cleavers are a problem on 10 million acres of canola, yet grain compa-nies would rather wait another three years than implement an identity preservation system for quinclorac-treated canola.

“i think these grain companies would do best to find a solution instead of saying, ‘wait, wait, wait.’ ”

The CPT system includes both small plot and large field scale trials. Results for 2015 are based on 29 small plot trials and a number of field scale trials across the Prairies. Further information and variety evaluation tools are available online at www.canolaperformancetri-als.ca.

Site distribution is based on seeded acres in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

The small plot system ensures that:

» All varieties are treated with appropriate commercially associated herbicides and seed treatments.

» An independent third party representative inspects all trials.

» Varieties are in blocks based on maturity. That way, harvest occurs at the appropriate time to minimize harvest losses due to maturity differences.

Field scale comparisons add extra perspec-tive for assessing consistency in variety per-formance. For field scale plots, two or more varieties were compared at each site, and each site had a common check, 5440. Comparisons are based on harvested strips of 0.5 to 1.5 acres each. Field scale data is not necessarily replicated in all cases, but the data presented has been audited to make sure it complies with CPT protocols.

CV – For coefficient of variation (CV), the lower the CV value, the more reliable the test. For example, if comparing results from two test

locations, one with a CV of 4% and the other with a CV of 8%, the test with the CV of 4% can be considered more reliable. There is always variability in research trials. The key is designing and managing experiments so CVs stay within a reasonable range. For the CPT, experience has shown that CVs below 15% indicate good test reliability.

LSD – The least significant difference (LSD at a 5% level of statistical significance) for each dataset indicates whether differences between varieties are statistically meaningful. Varieties should only be considered different in yield performance if the numerical difference between them is greater than the LSD value.

Using the sample table below, if the LSD is 5.0, varieties A and B are not statistically different, B and C are not statistically different, but A and C are statistically different. in the yield graphs for each season zone, LSD for each variety group is given on the left.

Results are organized by short, medium and long season zones. CPT uses the Western Canada Canola/Rapeseed Recommending

Committee (WCC/RRC) season zones, which are based on typical frost free days, growing degree days and soil type. Grey wooded soils, for example, are in the short season zone. See Table A for specific num-bers for each zone.

Small plot and field scale data will be presented separately in the fol-lowing tables. For more detailed performance results, growing condi-tions and production details for specific trial sites, use the online CPT database at www.canolaperformancetrials.ca.

The tables include yield, days to maturity, height and lodging scores for each variety. Lodging scores are between 1 and 5, with 1 being no lodging and 5 being completely lodged.

Gross revenue is based on yield multiplied by $10.87/bu. This is based on $478.30 per tonne, the March 2016 futures close on Oct. 1, 2015 and a 50-pound bushel weight. Premiums are included in the calcula-tions for specialty market varieties.

in the tables, varieties are listed numerically and alphabetically, starting with Clearfield (CL) varieties, followed by Liberty Link (LL) and Roundup Ready (RR).

Each zone and small plot location is identified on the map. Use the map to identify your growing season zone and trial locations closest to your farm.

To evaluate yield potential, look at all small plot and field scale loca-tions in your growing season zone and the average yield for your zone. Consider other information such as maturity, lodging resistance and cost.

rUSTy Penno has a passion for food and spends a lot of time thinking about it.

“i dream cooking,” said the Dakota Dunes Casino execu-tive chef who has incorporat-ed canola into dishes as di-verse as sorbet and salads.

he said canola, widely grown on the Canadian Prairies, is a versatile ingredient that can be used in frying, cooking, roasting and baking in addi-tion to marinades.

anthony McCarthy, execu-tive chef at the Saskatoon Club, prides himself on using locally produced ingredients like canola in his menus.

“it’s a very good oil to carry flavours without having its own distinct flavour,” he said, noting how other oils can be

tasted in the food regardless of what else is added.

he uses it in dressings and vinaigrettes, adds it to cakes to add extra moisture and injects it into lean cuts of meat for fla-vour and extra fat.

he also uses a cold pressed canola powder blend as a gar-nish in appetizers.

“The advantage is the guest wow factor,” he said. “it’s something different and fun.”

other advantages to canola include its affordability when compared with other avail-able oils on the market.

both chefs also say canola flowers from unsprayed fields can also be incorporated into salads with microgreens.

Penno likes the punch of fla-vour and the yellow colour.

he said the flowers have a sweet nutty asparagus-like flavour in his vegetable cu-

Chefs CReAte fine Cuisine with CAnoLAcumber roll appetizer. he also served them in an herbed cream cheese with pea shoots and local greens.

Most of his recipe innova-tions come through trial and error at work and at home and from learning from others.

Penno said his commercial kitchen made the switch to canola from vegetable oil be-cause it is better for frying, has a high heat point and is more

stable. That means the ever popular french fry he sells is less greasy and crispy because it absorbs less.

While chefs enjoy its versatil-ity, consumers and home cooks are embracing it as heart healthy oil.

Shaunda Durance-Tod, a reg-istered dietician with the Cano-lainfo Program, said canola oil is the lowest of the common cooking oils in saturated fat.

Commercial kitchens are switching to canola from vegetable oil because it is better for frying, has a high heat point and is more stable

it is high in unsaturated fat and omega 3 fat, she said, not-ing how it can carry health claims on food labels in Cana-da and the United States.

“you don’t need to have a bunch of different oils in the cupboard and it has a health nutritional profile and its ver-satility make it a pantry stand-by, she said.

Durance-Tod said canola may also play a role in manag-ing cardiovascular disease and diabetes, she said.

She said new research at the Toronto General hospital has focused on the role canola oil plays in controlling blood sug-ar levels in diabetics. it may re-late to the monounsaturated fat content, she said.

Durance-Tod said canola oil

consumption may help with reducing fat accumulations in the body.

“it’s healthier to have it dis-tributed away from the belly,” said Durance-Tod.

While low fat diets were pro-moted in past years, she said people replaced fat calories with simple carbohydrates like white bread.

“Those calories are not nec-essarily a healthier alterna-tive,” she said.

Current recommendations lean toward choosing healthi-er fats instead.

“Choose healthier fats rather than low fat. it’s not the quan-tity as much as the quality,” she said.

in 2006, U.S. farmers seeded 1.04 million acres of canola. This year, they seeded 1.79 million.

That statistical snapshot is positive, but the underlying story is more complex.

north Dakota is by far the leader in U.S. canola production.

however, a U.S. Department of agricul-ture graph of harvested canola acres in north Dakota shows acreage growth has been flat since 2000. The graph bounces up and down but mostly ranges between one and 1.3 million acres.

Soybeans, in comparison, have explod-ed in north Dakota over the last 15 years. bean acres in the state were two million in 2000 and 5.9 million in 2014. north Dako-ta is now the fourth largest soybean pro-ducing state in america.

Soybeans snatched most of their acres from wheat in the state, but that rise also cut into canola’s potential.

Canola proponents hoped north Dakota acres would eventually reach two million acres.

ryan Pederson, who farms near rolette, n.D, said two million acres might be un-reachable because many growers are choosing soybeans over canola.

“Unless we see some shift in beans … it’s going to be tough to get many more acres,” said Pederson, secretary-treasurer of the northern Canola Growers association.

Pederson said soybeans are preferable for agronomic reasons. beans fix nitro-gen, reducing input costs, and are har-vested a month later than canola.

“all of the small grains (come off) at the same time,” he said.

“it’s always nerve-racking, not knowing if we should get the wheat done or go after the canola.”

U.S. canola acreage has increased over the last few years, mostly because of win-ter canola in oklahoma.

Many farmers in oklahoma, southern Kansas and northern Texas have grown nothing but winter wheat for decades, but over the last five to seven years dozens of producers in the southern Great Plains have experimented with canola as a rota-tion crop. Canola, sometimes called okanola in the region, quickly gained traction, and acreage hit a peak of 340,000 in 2013. Canola advocates expected acres to expand dramatically, possibly hitting one million.

nature put the brakes on those ambi-tions. Drought and unusually frigid win-ters hammered yields and cooled produc-er enthusiasm.

“instead of 1,000 acres, they (growers) may be planting 500,” said bob Schrock, a canola producer in Kiowa, Kansas.

a proposed canola crushing plant in enid, oklahoma, was cancelled earlier this year when the company abandoned the project over supply concerns. The plant likely needed 500,000 canola acres in the southern Plains.

Seeded canola acres in oklahoma have plunged since 2013, from 270,000 in 2014 to 150,000 in 2015.

in spite of the allure of soybeans in north Dakota and diminishing grower confi-

dence in oklahoma, there are bright spots for canola in america.

Producers in southwestern north Dako-ta, a hot and relatively dry region of the state, are having success with the oilseed and acres are on the rise.

Jon Wert, northern Canola Growers as-sociation president and a producer in the southwest corner, said farmers in the re-gion are desperate for crop diversity.

“This area has traditionally been (noth-ing but) wheat,” he said.

“That’s why the canola is taking off be-cause we’re limited with what crops we can (grow) in rotation…. it just really fits for breaking the disease cycle.”

Winter canola may also have a future in the U.S. Southeast in states like Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Kentucky.

Many farmers in the region double crop. They grow soybeans in the summer and winter wheat in the other half of the year. in the 1980s, agronomists in the region

promoted winter canola as a viable rota-tion crop and an alternative to winter wheat. a few producers latched onto canola but they abandoned the oilseed when local markets disappeared in the 1990s and 2000s.

The absence of local buyers changed about five years ago. entrepreneurs in Georgia invested in canola crushing plants, creating new demand for the spe-cialty crop.

“We’ve always been able to grow canola in South Carolina, but we didn’t always have a market for it,” said Trish Dehond, an agri-culture extension representative for Clem-son University in South Carolina’s Darling-ton County. “now we have a market for it.”

The U.S. Department of agriculture doesn’t report on canola production in the southeast but anecdotal evidence sug-gests acreage is increasing.

manager of pulse flour, mill-ing and food applications at the Canadian international Grains institute, said CiGi’s researchers have found that pulse crops can be blended with other ingredients to cover the taste.

“We found that up to 30 per-cent inclusion, without doing any other modification, we still get acceptable flavour profile and texture from prod-ucts that contain pulses as in-gredients,” Maskus said.

CiGi has also found that dif-ferent pulse crops can be mixed to balance out their flavours.

“What we’re finding is that, say, a pea has very strong pea flavours and grassy kind of fla-vours, but when we comple-ment that with even using a lentil flour, which has more

peppery and savory notes, that can sometimes help balance out the flavour,” Maskus said.

Margaret hughes, vice-pres-ident of sales and marketing for best Cooking Pulses, said the increasing demand de-mand for pulse crops in the food processing industry can benefit producers. Canada is the highest exporter of pulses in the world.

“Keeping products home and putting them into (products) like the Dare crackers, getting better nutrition into people means better health and it also means more jobs at home.”

More products with pulses will make their way onto store shelves as demand for pulses grows, she added.

[email protected]


The PoPUlariTy of pulse crops in the north american food market has been steadily growing.

This growth has forced the food processing industry to work hard to make advance-ments to allow it to feed that demand.

“it kind of went from (pulse ingredients are) under uti-lized, what can we do, (to) what familiar foods are there where we can incorporate pulses?” said robert Tyler, a food and biosciences professor at the University of Saskatchewan.

Pulse crops have gained a greater foothold in the north american market as the health trend surged in popularity in the last 10 years.

Consumers know that beans, chickpeas and lentils are healthy so they want to in-clude those ingredients in their diets, said Shannon hood-niefer, vice-president of innovation and technology at the Saskatchewan Food in-dustry Development Centre.

“Pulses are high in protein

and fibre, for example, com-pared to cereal crops, wheat, barley and oats,” she said.

“Pulses have about 10 per-cent more protein than the ce-real crops.”

hood-niefer said studies have also found that pulses help reduce bad cholesterol. as well, they are considered to have a low glycemic index car-bohydrate, so they are digest-ed and absorbed faster than other crops.

hood-niefer’s lab and other food processing companies have been working for years to add pulses to food.

“(There’s) different wavy chips, flat breads and other snacks,” she said.

“We’ve pumped hummus inside of a crispy shell biscuit and it was really quite deli-cious, but we’ve also put puls-es in bars, like a granola bar type thing.”

however, pulses have a dif-ferent taste, which poses a challenge for the food pro-cessing industry. north amer-ican consumers are accus-tomed to certain tastes, such as wheat flour.

Tyler said there are ways to re-duce the flavour, such as boil-ing pulses or using an extruder, but researchers have found problems with the products once they have been extruded.

“over time there can be some reversion of flavours, so we’ve been surprised once or twice already when we thought we had this wonder-ful deflavoured product but over it’s shelf life some of that flavour came back,” he said.

“it might have even been dif-ferent flavours.”

Prairie FarMerS will have to increase their water use efficiency if they are to achieve 100 bushels per acre in dry land canola production, says Phil Thomas of agri-Trend.

The company recently announced that the first contest in its new agri-Prize initia-tives will be Canola 100, in which the first farmer to achieve yields of 100 bu. per acre on a non-irrigated 50 acre plot will win the use of a fleet of John Deere equipment for 100 hours per machine, including a tractor, seeder, sprayer, swather and combine.

Thomas said some canola producers are becoming better at using crop-available water, and 100 bu. per acre has become a realistic goal.

Canola producers achieve an average of three bu. per 25 millimetres of available water, which includes water in the soil profile and rainfall.

however, Thomas said he has clients that yield up to seven bu. per 25 mm of water.

“if you’ve got a soil profile that’s down four feet (1.2 metres) deep, and it’s, say, a silty clay loam, and you’ve got nine inches (23 centimetres) of water in it at the start, the first four (10 cm) go to produce the manufacture base of the plant and the rest goes to yield. add rainfall on top of that, you’re only looking at seven, eight inches (17 to 20 cm) during the growing season to hit 100 (bu.),” Thomas said.

he said producers are already achieving 80 to 90 bu. per acre with dry land produc-tion, and irrigated canola should be tar-geting 100 bu. per acre. he has seen yields as high 171 bu. per acre in a controlled set-ting, he added, which proves canola has the genetic capability of reaching the 100 bu. target.

Making all the required plant nutrients available when they’re needed is the key to maximizing crop-available water.

“The biggest factor is fertility,” he said.“have a balanced fertility in their diet

and away they go. if they are missing one of those ingredients, whether it be a mi-cronutrient or macronutrient, it makes a huge difference on how efficiently they use water.”

Thomas said all the inputs needed to achieve 100 bu. per acre can be applied in a single application with a side or mid row band, and producers won’t have to use ad-vanced efficiency products.

Producers who have a water deficiency in the soil profile when seeding may want to split the fertilizer application because the crop won’t use the plant nutrients without adequate water.

“We can approach it in a two stage ap-proach or a three stage approach,” he said.

“i’ve walked fields where people were

looking at it really from a hydroponic standpoint. if i get the rain. i put more nu-trients on, if i don’t get the rain i don’t,” Thomas said.

he wouldn’t predict which prairie grow-ing region will first reach the 100 bu. tar-get, but he did say it will need 190 mm of rainfall during the growing season, which lots of areas on the Prairies receive.

The contest will run in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Producers will also have to detail crop infor-mation, including crop inputs and weather information, on agri-Data, which is an on-line data platform owned by agri-Trend.

if at the end of the three-year competi-tion no producer is able to achieve 100 bu. per acre, the competitor who had the best yield will win the use of the fleet of John Deere equipment.

The rules for the Canola 100 contest are available at agriprize.com.

oCTober is a busy month for Joy agnew.as the grain storage expert with PaMi —

an agricultural research and innovation institute based in humboldt, Sask., —agnew receives dozens of phone calls and emails from farmers who have technical questions about grain drying and grain conditioning.

agnew spoke to The Western Producer in mid-october about grain conditioningWP: Do most farmers understand the

difference between grain conditioning and grain drying? Agnew: no…. The confusion is the mis-

understanding that aeration is the same as drying. it’s not.WP: What is the difference? Agnew: aeration is what (causes) condi-

tioning, or making the temperature distri-bution in the bin uniform. Drying actually removes moisture from the grain. The fundamental difference between the two is the airflow rate. The more air you put through the grain, the more likely you are to achieve drying….

So 0.1 cubic feet per minute (of air flow) will result in aeration or conditioning, (but) 1.0 c.f.m. per bushel is required for drying.WP: are natural air drying and aeration

two different things? Agnew: yes. natural air drying is the

higher airflow rate, resulting in moisture removal. aeration is just conditioning.WP: What should farmers do first, condi-

tion the grain or dry the grain? Agnew: That’s kind of the ongoing de-

bate right now…. aerating when the out-side temperature is cooler than the grain, say 5 or 10 C, that will help get the grain in a safe store condition no matter what moisture content is. even if it’s a little bit tough, if you can cool it, it will be relatively safe to store.

The problem with that is as soon as the grain mass becomes cool, it becomes very difficult to dry. ideally, remove moisture first and then (aerate) to get it both dry and cool.WP: Why is it important to even out the

temperature in the bin? Agnew: if you have a temperature varia-

tion within the bin, you will also have a

moisture variation within the bin…. if you have an area of higher temperature, that area can hold more water…. if you have temperature gradients, of differences, you’re going to have convection…. as the air moves around and changes tempera-ture, it (the grain) could be gaining or dropping moisture.WP: how is grain different from other

stored materials? Agnew: The grain is technically still

alive. There is microbial activity happen-ing within the grain that is generating it’s own heat and moisture. you also will have temperature gradients due to the grain mass itself. a good chunk of the grain is near the edge of the bin …. and a good chunk of the grain at the core of the bin, insulated by the rest of the grain.WP: how long does it take to condition

stored grain? Agnew: There are all kinds of rules of

thumb that you need something like 12 hours of fan operation to even out the tem-perature distribution.WP: Why is it necessary to condition dry

grain, or monitor grain bins throughout the winter? Agnew: The grain is still alive, especially

in the cases of canola and some of the puls-es. The kernels are still respiring and pro-ducing their own moisture and heat. you could put it in the bin cool and dry, but that microbial activity has its own agenda.WP: Why is PaMi studying storage of

straight cut canola seeds? how is it differ-ent from canola harvested from a swath? Agnew: it all comes down to variability

of seed maturity. Swathed canola, you kill the plant and theoretically speed up the maturity of the seeds. The seeds are likely to be more uniformly mature when you combine. if you’re straight cutting … you could have more green spots…. That’s go-ing to (influence) the prevalence of hot spots in the bin. Green seeds have higher moisture content and they’re more likely to heat or have the microbial respiration that causes heat and moisture.WP: on PaMi’s website at pami.ca, there

are charts on the equilibrium moisture content of air, which can be used to predict how ambient (outside) air will affect the moisture content of grain. Should these charts be posted in a machine shop or next to a grain bin? Agnew: Definitely…. There are also

some really cool tools coming out online and available for apps. There’s one … that is basically a five-day equilibrium mois-ture content forecast. rather than having the chart there and deciding based on the current conditions, you can plug in your location to this app, plug in the grain type … and it gives you equilibrium moisture content forecast for the next five days. you can decide whether the next five days look reasonable to turn on your fans or not.

one oF The WorlD’S largest soup com-panies is embracing pulses in a big way.

“We’re definitely excited about the promise pulses have,” says John lillard, senior technologist with Campbell Co. of Canada.

“i’m a big proponent of it, and i’m going to continue promoting it at Campbell’s.”

lillard decided to shift to more of a plant-based diet a year ago after learning more about pulses.

“i shed 20 pounds. i feel better every day. i have more energy. That’s really the rea-son i’m passionate about it and really wanted to promote it at Campbell’s,” he says.

Campbell’s has a long history of using pulses. its habitant French-Canadian Pea soup, which it has produced for 100 years, contains 15 percent yellow peas.

however, the company has lately been using a lot more pulse ingredients in prod-ucts such as nourish, a complete meal that uses pea beans designed in conjunc-tion with food banks.

last year, the company launched its homestyle rustic lentil soup, which con-tains 25 percent red lentils, the highest pulse inclusion rate of any of the compa-ny’s soups.

“it’s not too spicy, not too extravagant. Kids would enjoy it,” said lillard.

he helped develop the company’s Mo-roccan Spiced 8 Vegetables & Chickpea soup, which contains five percent chick-peas and lentils.

The company is also coming out with a new healthy request line of soup in au-gust that contain six to 10 percent pulses.

The soups come in 33 flavours and contain no preservatives and artificial colours and flavours.

“This is the first line where every single soup in the product line has a unique pulse in it,” said lillard.

Campbell’s has been contracting pulses for two years to get enough product for the healthy request line.

lillard said close to 100 percent of the pulses used in Campbell’s soups are bought from Canada, but it does require back-up suppliers in case there are prob-lems with the Canadian supply.

The company is also using pulses in its expanding line of snacks and beverages.

feed trait Makes canola better valueBy seAn PRAttSaSkatoon newSroom

a Canola breeDer has devel-oped a new trait that makes cano-la meal far more competitive with soybean meal.

Until now, canola meal has trad-ed at a 35 percent discount to soy-bean meal in markets around the world because of its inferior pro-tein levels.

Dow agroSciences has spent the last 15 years developing a trait through conventional breeding techniques that significantly boosts canola protein levels.

“We think we can change the value from being (65) percent of soy up to the range of about 85 per-cent of soy,” said Dave Dzisiak, commercial leader, grains and oils, with Dow.

“it really is a step change.”he estimates 90 percent of the

canola meal produced by north american crushers is sold into the California dairy market.

Dzisiak said the over-reliance on one market is unsustainable, giv-en the Canola Council of Canada’s target to produce 26 million tonnes of the crop by 2025, which is almost double this year’s esti-mated output.

“This meal has to find new mar-kets. it all can’t go to California in-to dairy cows. So this will open up new markets,” he said in an inter-view following his presentation.

The market for vegetable protein continues to expand. a recent ra-bobank report forecasts global demand for vegetable protein will be 37 percent higher in 2023 than it was in 2013.

Dzisiak believes Dow’s new canola meal can go head-to-head with soybean meal in hog and poultry rations.

ProDUCerS Who DeCiDe to grow faba-beans can’t ignore inoculation.

“it’s especially important to inoculate fababean because the rhizobia that will associate and fix nitrogen with them aren’t going to be in the soil already from past inoculations,” said Diane Knight, soil science professor at the University of Sask-atchewan.

Knight said producers are rediscovering fababeans because of their 80 to 90 per-cent nitrogen fixation, which makes them a good fit for crop rotations.

“Farmers are returning their residues to the soil, so nowadays with the direct seed-ing and much less tillage than they’re used to be, those residues that are left behind have nitrogen in them,” she said.

“So they supply nitrogen for decompos-ing and then that nitrogen becomes avail-able to the next crop.”

Dale risula, a pulse and special crops specialist with Saskatchewan agricul-ture, said the strain of bacteria used to in-oculate fababeans is rhizobium legumi-nosarum.

“it’s the same type of rhizobia that is used in pea, lentil and chickling vetch … but there are more fababean specific products that have been developed,” ri-sula said.

a few products are on the market for fababean inoculation, and others are waiting to e approved for use.

Monsanto bioag sells TagTeam for faba-beans, which is the only dual action inoc-ulant on the market.

“(TagTeam) is a granular inoculant, so that’s solid form that goes down in furrow with the beans, that has a dual action,” said Jon Treloar, technical agronomist with Monsanto bioag.

“So it’s got the rhizobia biological tech-nology in the bag, which fixes nitrogen, and it’s got the jumpstart technology pres-ent as well to solubilize phosphorus.”

Treloar said phosphorus is an essential component of the nodulation process and helps to build the crop’s yield.

baSF sells nodulator, the only fababean specific inoculant.

“The bio chemical signals that a fababean sends out this one strain of rhizobia specif-ically, looks for those and only infects faba-bean in the nodulation process,” said rus-sell Trischuk, baSF’s technical marketing specialist for functional crop care.

The peat-based inoculant contains rhi-zobia that affect fababean’s roots. The plant then forms a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria and turns the nitrogen gas into the nitrogen that the plant needs.

Xitebio Technologies is waiting for the Canadian Food inspection agency to ap-prove its Peasrhizo product for use on fababeans. it is already approved for use on peas and lentils.

Peasrhizo is a liquid inoculant that adds rhizobia to the soil to form a partnership between them.

“it’s adding in the fresh rhizobia at the proper levels needed on seed and then it’s also encouraging the beneficial bacteria in the soil, trading a partnership between those two, the introduced rhizobia and your good things, native things in the soil,” said Matthew Doering, research as-sociate with Xitebio Technologies.

loveland Products is also waiting for CFia approval for its establish Granular and establish liquid products for faba-beans.

establish Granular is a two-part system that uses inoculants and then lCo pro-moter technology.

“(lCo) promotes the start of nodulation so we get earlier inoculation, which causes increased germination and emergence,” said rae Westersund, plant nutrition and seed treatments product line manager at loveland Products.

The establish liquid is also a two-part system with the inoculant and lCo pro-moter technology, but instead of having lCo, it has flavonoids that signal for pro-duction of lCo.
