Canadian Seed Growers’ Association 2012 Annual General Meeting

Calgary, Alberta July 12 & 13, 2012

The meeting opened at 8:00 a.m. Thursday, July 12 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino, Calgary, Alberta. Gerald Girodat, president of CSGA welcomed everyone to the meeting. President’s Report – Gerald Girodat Firstly, I would like to thank the staff of CSGA for the past two years of my term as president. I want to ensure the membership that we have good conscientious people working on our behalf. Change will be coming as we have definite dates for retirement in the range of one to three years for several staff members and it will be a challenge for the executive and Board to find equally qualified replacements. Again, your Board had a full agenda for our Board meeting this week with reports and recommendations coming from our various committees. You will be hearing from the different committee chairs as our meeting continues. With support from the Board, staff continues to find ways to modernize and streamline operations. I wish to thank Doug Miller for his work in improving the on-line application process. Electronic data transfer will continue to be a priority of staff and the board. Several different processes are already underway and I am sure that there is more to come. Of course, the shoe has finally fallen with regard to CFIA’s role in field inspection and it is now the big talk in the seed industry. CSGA is looking at three different alternative service delivery models and there have been plenty of discussions around these models within our Board, Branch Boards, and various other groups such as the Seed Sector Value Chain Round Table. I believe it is important that we as seed growers, through our Associations, develop a clear and consistent message as to the model we would like to see and that we can work with the CFIA to deliver and maintain that model. In my term as president, we have talked about change within our industry and whether change within our association is needed to meet the needs of the future. These talks have taken place at the CSGA Board table, at Branch Board meetings, at facilitated sessions with the CSGA and Branch executives, and at committee meetings of our White Paper Committee. Five main goals were developed as a result of these discussions and action has started on accomplishing some of these goals. For example, under the goal of laying claim to the Certification System testing, new technology has started with the use of the Smart pen and paper in the field during seed crop inspection. A pilot project is underway in southern Alberta this summer. The goal of reviewing and assessing the governance structure of the CSGA Board is on- going and at the last facilitated session in March, we developed several options to the structure and size of the Board. These options will continue to be discussed at the CSGA Board, Branches and with the membership. But if any changes are to be made that require by-law changes, decisions should be made soon so these changes could be made prior to 2014. This is when the new Non-For-Profit Corporation Act takes effect. We continue to see a decline in membership in our association however, inspected acres remain fairly constant. This is a trend that is likely to continue as fewer growers take on more acres. What affect changes in inspection services will have on growers remains to be seen. However, it may be the tipping point for some. This will be my last report to you as president of this Association. I will be leaving at a time when many new issues and challenges face this Board. It is my opinion that we have many good people, both on staff and within our boards and that these challenges will be met.

these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the

preceding year.

À notre avis, les états financiers donnent, à tous les égards importants, une

Jim Baillie – Board of Directors’ Report

1.1 Anticipate changes (and opportunities) and ensure we continue to

maintain flexibility and responsiveness in CSGA seed crop

production standards requirements. On-going

1.2 Utilize DNA testing within seed certification related only to process

verification and to additional certification requirements. On-going

1.3 Recognize when molecular testing is used, (for varietal purity), a

different standard applies. On-going

1.4 On a pilot scale basis, test new technology (e.g. the Smart pen and

paper) in the field during seed crop inspection. Being done in 2012

1.5 Establish the electronic data

transfer standard and format for

seed crop inspection.

Being done in 2012

1.6 Develop contingency plans for

dealing with future possible changes

in CFIA delivery of seed field inspections.

Now on-going

Goal #1:

Lay claim to and own the Certification system

2.1 Facilitate on-going contact and enhanced engagement with contract

growers by CSGA and the Branches. No action taken

Goal #2: Engage the Contract Growers

Goal #3: Build a Contingency of Support

3.1 Assess why the 2012 end-user CIGI program did not have any

registrants and determine the merits of such a program continuing.

Not yet completed. Program postponed to 2013-14

3.2 Work with seed distributors and Branches to identify new

testimonials of Certified seed use in identity preserved programs.

On-going

Goal #4: Build Public & Political Support

4.1 On a regular basis, (at least annually), create opportunities to meet with Federal Ministers. No action taken

4.2 Encourage Branches to meet with Provincial Ministers under a similar strategy and cooperative/constructive approach. No action taken

4.3 The role and mandate of the E&P Committee should be reviewed from the standpoint of perhaps redefining (or clarifying) its role as one of education and advocacy related to the process of seed certification system. (traceability, quality assurance, food safety, export promotion?) On-going

5.1 CSGA needs to be prepared to review its governance structure, mandate and scope if a merger with CSI is considered at some point in the future. No action taken

5.2 Recognize, in any form of merger, the importance of preserving “Canadian Seed Growers’ Association” as a legal entity. No action taken

5.3 Structure committees in a manner that provides the best level of expertise for the mandate of the committee. On-going

5.4 Amend the current by-laws to reflect the election of Directors in compliance with the new Act. Under review

Goal # 5:

Review Governance Structures

What is Certified seed?

Option 1: The status quo

• 13 seed grower Directors elected at Branch Annual Meetings

• 9 provincial government representatives appointed by their Ministers at CSGA’s invitation (currently 8 as Directors and 1 as an advisor)

– 1 President (currently ex officio)

– 1 past President (currently ex officio)

– 1 Executive Director (currently ex officio)

• 1 plant breeder advisor

Total of 24 Directors and 2 advisors

Goal # 5:

Board Size & Governance Structures

Option 2: Separation of Directors and Advisors

• 13 seed grower Directors: nominated at Branch Annual Meetings

• Up to 4 appointed by Board of Directors (could be the President & up to 3 others)

Total of 13 to 17

• One provincial representative from each Branch would be appointed as advisors. In this model, the Board size is reduced but the size of the meeting (with advisors) is unchanged.

Goal # 5:


Certified seed provides:

Option 3: Scaled – Down Version

• Seed grower Directors: 1 nominated from each Branch

• 3 provincial government representatives (maintain 9 provincial reps for representation on Branches)

• Up to 3 appointed by Board of Directors (could include the President & up to 2 others)

Total of 11 to 13

Goal # 5:


The Seed Certification Process

5.6 Consider modifying or eliminating the past President’s or the 2nd vice President’s position from the Board and Executive Committee. No action taken

5.7 The following recommendation was not considered (neither rejected nor approved): If the only reason to change the fiscal year is to have a meeting of members at a different time of the year, recognize a meeting of members can be held at any time. Hold a special general meeting rather than trying to move the fiscal year. No action taken

Goal # 5:


The Seed Certification Process (cont.)

5.8 The new Canada Not-for-Profits Act may result in the need for further consideration being given to:

Call for nominations from each Branch in November. Nominations are made at the Branch Annual Meetings during the December through February period. Close nominations March 1st. Under review

Reduce the membership categories to 2 and have only Regular and Affiliate members. Under review

Drop the Associate member category. Move Honorary Life and Robertson Associate categories out as membership categories and into an Honorary Recognition area of the amended by-laws. Under review

Goal # 5:

Review Governance Structures

Executive Director’s 2010-2011 Report

Disposition of 2010 Resolutions

Resolution #6:

That after current commitment in Research and Development (R&D)

are paid out no more R & D will be approved.

A sub-Committee of the CSGA R&D Committee had been established in late 2009

to review priorities and R&D program structures. This sub-Committee reported to

the November 2010 CSGA Board of Directors’ meeting. Only two on-going

research projects were approved for 2011-12. No R&D program and budgetary

decisions were made beyond 2011-12.

R & D Committee 2011-12 Activity

No new projects have been approved since July 2010

Year 2 of two projects were completed in 2010-11

When final reports are received, abstracts are posted to the CSGA web site

No “research fund” exists within CSGA budget

Will look at new research projects that relate directly to seed certification

standards on a case by case basis

Committee membership structure streamlined & downsized

* Chair person * AAFC rep

* Plant breeder * Standards & Circ. 6 rep

* Executive Committee rep

* CSGA reps to WGRF & PGDC

R & D Committee 2011-12 Activity

Received the final report and added abstract to website concerning:

Characterization of Ergot Resistance in Durum Wheat and Development of Molecular Markers for Aiding Selection of Ergot Resistant Breeding Lines Dr. James Menzies, AAFC, Winnipeg MB

The Circular 6 Committee requested that the R&D Committee consider: That validating the accuracy and confidence of present crop inspection reporting procedures be a CSGA research priority.

R&D considered the request in conjunction with technical reports from the OECD seed scheme. R&D developed a two phase research proposal and recommended to the Board of Directors through the Executive Committee that phase one be initiated.

Going Forward

ALTERNATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY

Alternative to what? Official inspection by independent, 3rd party inspectors trained and certified by the CFIA.

Currently, most crops are officially inspected. Hybrid corn and hybrid canola have been the exceptions.

Currently:

CFIA has authorized 4 developers of hybrid corn varieties to inspect their fields producing Certified hybrid corn seed crops.

CFIA has authorized 1 seed lab company to provide seed crop inspections on Certified hybrid canola fields contracted by companies developing hybrid canola varieties.

In 2011 & 2012, a pilot project has operated in Ontario for inspection, by a soybean variety development company, of soybean seed crops assigned to that company.


Three models exist for ASD:

1. 1st Party (self inspection by the seed producer) e.g. hybrid

corn

2. 2nd Party (inspection by the company assigned the CSGA

crop certificate by the seed grower) e.g. soybean pilot project

in Ontario

3. 3rd Party (independent) e.g. hybrid canola


1st Party Model: • Inspection is carried out by the seed grower responsible for

the production and management of the seed crop and all

related financial matters.

• Hybrid corn inspections are a current, working example of

this model.

• Requires a documented quality management system

regularly audited, or verified by a recognized 3rd party.

• Requires variety verification seed testing

capability in the year of production.


2nd Party Model:

• Inspection is carried out by the company (the assignee) to

which the seed grower has assigned the CSGA crop certificate.

• In Ontario, a pilot scale model with one company operated in

2011 and 2012 for soybeans seed crops assigned to that

company (the variety developer).

• Requires a documented quality management system regularly

audited, or verified by a recognized

• 3rd party.


3rd Party Model:

• Inspection is carried out by an inspector who is independent

of the seed grower and the assignee.

• Hybrid canola seed crop inspection is a current, working

example of this model.

• Requires a documented quality management system

regularly audited, or verified by a recognized 3rd party.


In all three Models:

• The ASD provider meets CFIA criteria for that

authorized seed crop inspection service model

including audited conflict of interest/code of conduct

requirements.

• The ASD provider adheres to CSGA requirements

for seed crop inspection reporting.


There are Pros and Cons:

• Conflict of Interest is a potential issue, even if only perception,

in any model other than independent 3rd Party models.

• The trend for more and more seed fields to be assigned could

make the 2nd Party model attractive on a lot of acres.

• All models are likely to have additional costs

compared to current crop inspection fee levels.

• Timeliness of inspections and

information transfer should be

enhanced.


There are Pros and Cons:

• The future is likely characterized by less uniform delivery across the country. Inspection fees will likely vary across Canada and the type of ASD model available for seed crop inspection could also vary by crop kind.

• Developing an independent, national, 3rd Party ASD model before 2014 is likely not possible.

• Consumer confidence and acceptance could drop as we move away from the independent, 3rd party model

and business risk could increase.


How the Future is Likely to Look:

• Seed growers are likely to have more than one model working on the inspection of their fields. That means:

Seed growers will have different inspectors for different crops, depending on the models operating.

• Seed growers are likely to pay more because fees are likely to increase and to vary – no longer will

there be one fee across Canada and across all crops.



• Without a national ASD provider, it will be the seed grower’s responsibility to identify the ASD provider(s) and arrange for inspection(s). That means:

Inspection fees are likely to be paid directly to the ASD provider rather than submitted to CSGA.

CSGA administration will become more complex depending upon the number of ASD providers in operation.

Small acreage crops and regions are likely to be hardest hit in terms of the increase in cost of seed crop inspection.




• As we move away from official seed crop inspections, customer confidence and acceptance could be impacted.

A decline in confidence and acceptance could occur as we move from 3rd party to 2nd party to 1st party.

• Business risk could increase as we move from 3rd party to 2nd party to 1st party models.

• How inspection fees are established will vary. We may see acreage fees, field fees, visit fees and/or mileage fees. There will be no standardization nor harmonization.

* At this time last year, 160 growers applied online.

2012 Remote Data Collection Pilots

Background

• This summer, CSGA will be hosting two (2) remote data collection pilot projects:

• Smart Pen / Smart Paper Pilot in Lethbridge, Alberta

• iPad Pilot in Southwestern, Ontario

• The purpose of these pilots is to develop and test electronic crop inspection

reporting tools, which may be used by inspection services in the future

Smart Pen / Smart Paper

• Considered to be a “low-high tech” option

• Looks, feels and writes like a normal pen

• Contains a digital camera and an image microprocessor which records pen

strokes

Digital Camera

• Infrared light is used to make the unique “fingerprint” dot matrix pattern visible to

the digital camera

• Camera is able to capture up to 100 images per second

• Camera does not record the actual ink, but rather the unique “fingerprint” dot

matrix behind the ink.

Smart Paper

• Each smart paper sheet is unique

• Up to 70 trillion unique fingerprints

• Unique pattern is assigned at the time of printing and can be done on most paper

stocks/formats

• Pre-populated data (grower, field and variety information) can be applied to each

smart paper sheet at the time of printing

• Can be done locally, as opposed to centrally (District offices vs. CSGA office)

• Memory is used to store the “carbon copy” of the crop inspection report

• Each smart pen is capable of holding up to 200 one page forms

Memory

Getting Crop Inspections off of the Smart Pen

A “carbon copy” of each crop inspection report is stored in the smart

pen until it is transferred to CSGA

This transfer can occur in two ways:

a) With a unique desktop cradle

b) Via Bluetooth to a smartphone and then to the CSGA over a

mobile network.

In either option, the crop inspection report

is stored permanently at the CSGA for

future processing (i.e. being sent as an email

to the seed grower, CFIA and CSGA) and

ultimately appraised by CSGA.

Smart Pen / Smart Paper Pilot

Who is involved?

• Seednet: independent seed growers in Southern Alberta all located within

the Lethbridge CFIA district.

Smart Pen / Smart Paper Pilot

Who is involved?

• Seednet

• Lethbridge CFIA District Office

• Nine (9) inspectors in total;

What are the initial savings?

• Eliminate the expensive three form crop inspection report;

• Eliminate postage costs (over $1.00 per crop inspection report);

• Potential to reduce lag times (average is 14 days)

iPad Crop Inspection Report Form

• Hardware is developed by Apple;

• Software is developed by Expedata;

• Input methods include printed and cursive handwriting, checkbox and radio

button input, option lists for easy selection of common items, visual inputs

such as a date and time wheels, and a virtual keyboard; and

• Contains a digital camera and has GPS capabilities

iPad Crop Inspection Report Form

Who is involved?

• Pioneer Hi-Bred – Soybean Production

• 9 Pioneer inspectors

• London & Chatham CFIA District Office

• 2 CFIA inspectors

What is the scope?

• All crop inspection data will be transferred electronically; and

• Soybean seed crops assigned to Pioneer and planted with Foundation or

Registered status seed are eligible to be inspected with the iPad (number of

fields has yet to be determined);

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des

producteurs de semences

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association

– l’Association canadienne des producteurs de semences, which comprise the statement of financial

position as at April 30, 2012, the statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for

the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other

explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in

accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as

management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We

conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those

standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures

in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or

error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s

preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that

are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as

well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our audit opinion.

2

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des producteurs

de semences as at April 30, 2012 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the year then

ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Report on Other Legal Requirements

As required by the Canada Corporations Act, we report that, in our opinion, these principles have

been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

RAPPORT DES AUDITEURS INDÉPENDANTS

Aux membres du Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des

producteurs de semences

Rapport sur les états financiers

Nous avons effectué l’audit des états financiers ci-joints de la Canadian Seed Growers’

Association – l’Association canadienne des producteurs de semences, qui comprennent le bilan

au 30 avril 2012, et les états des résultats, de l’évolution de l’actif net et des flux de trésorerie

pour l’exercice clos à cette date, ainsi que les notes, qui comprennent un résumé des principales

méthodes comptables et d’autres informations explicatives.

Responsabilité de la direction pour les états financiers

La direction est responsable de la préparation et de la présentation fidèle de ces états financiers

conformément aux principes comptables généralement reconnus du Canada, ainsi que du

contrôle interne qu’elle considère comme nécessaire pour permettre la préparation d’états

financiers exempts d’anomalies significatives, que celles-ci résultent de fraudes ou d’erreurs.

Responsabilité des auditeurs

Notre responsabilité consiste à exprimer une opinion sur les états financiers, sur la base de notre

audit. Nous avons effectué notre audit selon les normes d’audit généralement reconnues du

Canada. Ces normes requièrent que nous nous conformions aux règles de déontologie et que

nous planifiions et réalisions l’audit de façon à obtenir l’assurance raisonnable que les états

financiers ne comportent pas d’anomalies significatives.

Un audit implique la mise en œuvre de procédures en vue de recueillir des éléments probants

concernant les montants et les informations fournis dans les états financiers. Le choix des

procédures relève de notre jugement, et notamment de notre évaluation des risques que les états

financiers comportent des anomalies significatives, que celles-ci résultent de fraudes ou

d’erreurs. Dans l’évaluation de ces risques, nous prenons en considération le contrôle interne de

l’entité portant sur la préparation et la présentation fidèle des états financiers afin de concevoir

des procédures d’audit appropriées aux circonstances, et non dans le but d’exprimer une opinion

sur l’efficacité du contrôle interne de l’entité. Un audit comporte également l’appréciation du

caractère approprié des méthodes comptables retenues et du caractère raisonnable des

estimations comptables faites par la direction, de même que l’appréciation de la présentation

d’ensemble des états financiers.

Nous estimons que les éléments probants que nous avons obtenus sont suffisants et appropriés

pour fonder notre opinion d’audit.

2

Opinion

À notre avis, les états financiers donnent, dans tous leurs aspects significatifs, une image fidèle

de la situation financière du Canadian Seed Growers’ Association – l’Association canadienne des

producteurs de semences au 30 avril 2012, ainsi que de ses résultats d’exploitation et de ses flux

de trésorerie pour l’exercice clos à cette date, conformément aux principes comptables

généralement reconnus du Canada.

Rapport sur les autres exigences légales

Comme le stipule la Loi sur les corporations canadiennes, nous déclarons que, à notre avis, ces

principes ont été appliqués de la même manière qu’au cours de l’exercice précédent.

CANADIAN SEED GROWERS' ASSOCIATION - ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES PRODUCTEURS DE SEMENCES Notes to Financial Statements Year ended April 30, 2012

The Canadian Seed Growers’ Association is a not-for-profit organization incorporated as a

corporation without share capital under the Canada Corporations Act. The Association provides

seed pedigreeing services of field crops, in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection

Agency, to over 4,000 seed growers across Canada.

1. Significant accounting policies:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted

accounting principles and include the following significant accounting policies.

(a) Basis of accounting:

The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions for not-for-profit

organizations.

(b) Revenue recognition:

Revenue from fees and sales of production reports are recognized when the services are

provided or the goods are sold. Contributions received for the purchase of capital assets are

deferred and amortized into revenue at a rate corresponding to the amortization rate of the

capital asset purchased.

(c) Financial instruments:

(i) Investments:

Investments are designated as held for trading and are recorded at fair value. Fair value

is determined at quoted market values. Sales and purchases of investments are

recorded on the settlement date.

(ii) Other financial instruments:

The Association has classified accounts receivable as loans and receivables and

accounts payable and accrued liabilities, grants payable and inspection fees payable as

other liabilities.

Upon initial recognition, these financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets and liabilities are measured at

amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization.

(d) Capital assets:

Furniture, computer equipment and software are stated at cost. Amortization is provided on a

straight-line basis using a rate of 10% per annum for furniture and 25% per annum for

computer equipment and software.

8

CANADIAN SEED GROWERS' ASSOCIATION - ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES PRODUCTEURS DE SEMENCES Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Year ended April 30, 2012

1. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(e) Pension costs and obligations:

The Association has a defined benefit pension plan covering some of its employees. The

benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the best

three years of employment.

The Association also has a defined contribution plan providing pension benefits to its

employees. The cost of the defined contribution plan is recognized based on the

contributions required to be made during each period.

The cost of pension benefits earned by employees is determined using the projected benefit

method pro-rated on services and charged to expense as services are rendered. The

actuarial valuation reflects management’s best estimate of the pension plan’s expected

investment yields, salary escalations, member mortality, and retirement age. Market related

values are used for valuing pension fund assets.

The difference between the cumulative amounts expensed and the funding contributions is

reflected in the balance sheet as a deferred charge or liability as the case may be.

The pension fund is funded in accordance with legal requirements and standard actuarial

practice. Assets of the pension plan are used to purchase life annuities for employees on

retirement when benefits under the plan are increased. Additional annuities are purchased

for retired employees.

(f) Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted

accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect

the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and

liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and

expenditure during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

9


2. Deferred pension charges:

The latest actuarial valuation was performed as at December 31, 2009. The latest extrapolation

using current assumptions was performed at April 30, 2012.

The reconciliations of the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan to the amount

recorded in the financial statements is as follows:

(a) Plan assets:

Pension benefit plan 2012 2011

Fair value of plan assets $ 3,306,497 $ 3,566,709 Accrued benefit obligation (4,735,362) (4,186,357) Funded status – plan deficit (1,428,865) (619,648)

Balance of unamortized amounts 1,428,991 609,706

Accrued benefit asset (liability) $ 126 $ (9,942)

Change in plan assets: Plan assets at fair value, beginning of year $ 3,566,709 $ 3,287,105 Actual return on plan assets (207,033) 304,758 Employees’ contribution 27,091 32,383 Employers contribution 89,119 136,443 Benefits paid (169,389) (193,980)

Plan assets at fair value, end of year $ 3,306,497 $ 3,566,709

The defined benefit pension expense for the year was $79,051 (2011 - $93,339) and is

included in employee benefit expense shown in the schedule of general administration

expenses. The employer contributions were $89,116 (2011 - $136,443) resulting in net

difference of $10,068 (2011 - $43,104), being the change in the accrued benefit liability.

(b) Pension plan assets:

Plan assets are invested in the following securities at April 30, 2012:

2012 2011 Cash and cash equivalents 3% 3% Bonds and GIC’s 34% 35% Canadian equities 29% 31% Foreign equities 34% 31%

10


2. Deferred pension charges (continued):

(c) Assumptions:

The significant assumptions used in accounting for the defined benefit plan at April 30, 2012

are as follows:

Pension benefit plan 2012 2011 Accrued benefit obligation as of April 30: Discount rate 4.35% 5.00% Rate of compensation increase 3.10% 3.10% Benefit costs for year ended April 30: Discount rate 4.35% 5.00% Expected return on plan assets 6.10% 6.35% Rate of compensation increase 3.10% 3.10%

3. Commitments:

The Association rents office space and equipment under operating leases which expire from May

31, 2015 to October 31, 2017. The minimum annual lease payments for the next five years are

as follows: 2013 - $102,079; 2014 - $102,079; 2015 - $102,079; 2016 - $26,024; and 2017 -

$4,080.

4. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities:

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, grants payable, inspection fees payable and

accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short

periods to maturity of these items or because they are receivable or payable on demand.

Investments are recorded at fair value.

The Association believes that it is not exposed to significant currency risk arising from its financial

instruments.

The Association’s interest rate risk relates to its investments in bonds. The Association’s credit

risk relates to its investments in bonds and collectability of accounts receivable.

11


5. Capital disclosures:

The Association considers its capital to consist of its net assets. The Association’s overall

objective with its capital is to fund capital assets, research and ongoing operations. The

Association manages its capital by establishing restricted net assets for research.

The Association is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and its overall strategy

with respect to capital remains unchanged from the year ended April 30, 2011.

6. Investments:

Investments are composed of the following securities at April 30, 2012:

2012 2011 Short-term investments $ 354,524 $ 559,390 Long-term investments:

Corporate fixed income 894,536 1,386,596 Government fixed income 868,452 – Equities 99,454 –

Total Investments $ 2,216,966 $ 1,945,986

CANADIAN SEED GROWERS' ASSOCIATION - ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES PRODUCTEURS DE SEMENCES Notes afférentes aux états financiers Exercice clos le 30 avril 2012

L'Association canadienne des producteurs de semences (l’ « Association ») est un organisme

sans but lucratif constitué sans capital-actions en vertu de la Loi sur les corporations

canadiennes. L’Association offre des services de lignage des grandes cultures, de concert avec

l’Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments, à plus de 4 000 producteurs de semences au

Canada.

1. Principales conventions comptables

Les états financiers ont été dressés selon les principes comptables généralement reconnus du

Canada et les principales conventions comptables suivantes.

a) Méthode comptable

L’Association applique la méthode du report pour les organismes sans but lucratif pour la

comptabilisation des apports.

b) Constatation des produits

Les produits tirés des honoraires et de la vente de rapports de production sont constatés

lorsque les services sont rendus et que les biens sont vendus. Les apports destinés à l’achat

d’immobilisations sont reportés et amortis à un taux qui correspond au taux d’amortissement

des immobilisations achetées.

c) Instruments financiers

i) Placements

Les placements sont classés comme étant détenus aux fins de transaction et ils sont

constatés à leur juste valeur. La juste valeur est déterminée aux cours du marché. Les

achats et ventes de placements sont comptabilisés à la date de règlement.

ii) Autres instruments financiers

L’Association a classé les débiteurs au titre des prêts et des montants à recevoir, et a

classé les créditeurs et charges à payer, les subventions à payer et les honoraires

d’inspection à payer au titre des autres passifs.

Au moment de leur comptabilisation initiale, ces actifs et passifs financiers sont évalués à

leur juste valeur. Après leur constatation initiale, ces actifs et passifs financiers sont

évalués au coût amorti selon la méthode du taux d’intérêt effectif.

8

CANADIAN SEED GROWERS' ASSOCIATION - ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES PRODUCTEURS DE SEMENCES Notes afférentes aux états financiers (suite) Exercice clos le 30 avril 2012

1. Principales conventions comptables (suite)

d) Immobilisations

Le mobilier, le matériel informatique et les logiciels sont comptabilisés au prix coûtant.

L’amortissement est calculé selon la méthode linéaire au taux annuel de 10 % pour le

mobilier et de 25 % pour le matériel informatique et les logiciels.

e) Coûts et obligations au titre du régime de retraite

L’Association offre un régime de retraite à prestations déterminées qui couvre une partie de

ses employés. Les prestations sont fondées sur les années de service ainsi que sur la

rémunération de l’employé pendant ses trois meilleures années.

L’Association offre aussi un régime de retraite à cotisations déterminées, qui verse des

prestations de retraite à ses employés. Le coût du régime à cotisations déterminées est

constaté en fonction des cotisations devant être faites au cours de chaque période.

Le coût des prestations de retraite gagnées par les employés est calculé selon la méthode de

répartition des prestations au prorata des services et il est passé en charges à mesure que

les services sont rendus. La valeur actuarielle reflète l’estimation optimale par la direction du

rendement des placements du régime de retraite, de l’augmentation des salaires, du taux de

mortalité des participants et de leur âge à la retraite. L’actif du régime de retraite est valorisé

à la valeur du marché.

L’écart entre les montants cumulés passés en charges et les cotisations est présenté au

bilan à titre de charges ou de passifs reportés, selon le cas.

La capitalisation du régime de retraite est conforme aux exigences légales et aux méthodes

actuarielles normalisées. L’actif du régime de retraite est employé à l’achat de rentes

viagères au profit des employés au moment de la retraite lorsque les prestations du régime

sont majorées. Des rentes supplémentaires sont achetées au profit des employés retraités.

f) Utilisation d’estimations

La préparation d’états financiers conformément aux principes comptables généralement

reconnus du Canada exige de la direction qu’elle fasse des estimations et qu’elle pose des

hypothèses qui auront une influence sur les montants déclarés de l’actif et du passif, sur la

présentation des actifs et des passifs éventuels à la date des états financiers et sur les

montants déclarés des produits et des charges pour la période. Les résultats réels pourraient

différer de ces estimations.

9


2. Charges reportées au titre du régime de retraite

La dernière évaluation actuarielle est en date du 31 décembre 2009. La dernière projection

fondée sur les hypothèses actuelles est en date du 30 avril 2012.

Le rapprochement entre l’état de capitalisation du régime de retraite à prestations déterminées et

le montant constaté dans les états financiers s’établit comme suit :

La valeur comptable de l’encaisse, des débiteurs, des subventions à payer ainsi que des

honoraires d’inspection à payer et des créditeurs et charges à payer se rapproche de leur juste

représentent des montants à recevoir ou à payer à vue.

Les placements sont constatés à la juste valeur.

L’Association estime ne pas encourir de risque de change important relativement à ses

instruments financiers.

Le risque de taux d’intérêt de l’Association correspond à ses placements dans des obligations. Le

risque de crédit de l’Association a un lien avec ses placements dans des obligations et à la

possibilité de recouvrer les débiteurs.

2012 ROBERTSON ASSOCIATE AWARD RECIPIENTS

This award is presented to those members who have fulfilled with commitment

and success their obligation to the Association

Robertson Associate Award

Guy Crépeau

St-Hugues, Quebec

Born in Saint-Hugues, in 1959, from farming parents, Guy was the youngest of four children. His parents, Janille and Onil, initiated him early to the production of pedigreed seeds, being themselves growers and processors of this class of seed. In 1981, Guy received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from McGill University (McDonald College), and was gradually entrusted with the management of the family business, with his father as consultant. Having acquired a taste for professional development, Guy was certified by Agriculture Canada and became a germination analyst for large seeds in 1983. He operates a laboratory accredited by the Canadian Seed Institute. In 1985, Guy married Liette Gendron, who has been working with him in the operation of the business since 1990. Guy has been a seed grower since 1980, and added Select seed a few years later. He owns 600 acres of beautiful arable land, where he grows oats, wheat, barley and soybeans. He operates the Semences Crépeau Inc. seed screening centre. This company is very active in pedigreed seed processing in Québec. Today, they process an average of 5,000 tonnes of seed per year. Thanks to the seed production development and education efforts, they can count on elite growers for the


multiplication of seed. In spite of his busy schedule, Guy is involved in many organizations. He continually learns through his involvement in municipal organizations from the community. From 1988 to 1996, Guy was a member of the Secan Association Board of Directors. He is the Director and Chairman of the Association des conditionneurs de semences pedigree du Québec since 1984. Guy also took part in the development of the Canadian Seed Institute’s technical manual at the time of its inception. He has been a Director of the Comax co-operative since 2009. Guy has been involved on many committees.



Lorne Hulme MacGregor,Manitoba

Lorne Hulme was born and raised on a farm in MacGregor, Manitoba. From 1977 to 1980 Lorne worked as an agricultural loans officer. In 1980 he became involved with the 4th generation family farm. During his early years of farming part-time, he was employed by a national accounting firm in Winnipeg. After 7 years of service, he became the general manager, and continued in that role for 5 more years. Upon the death of this father, he came home to operate the farm full time. In 1992 Lorne made the decision to become a seed grower and planted his first pedigreed crops. The following year a seed processing plant was built on the farm. Over the years there have been various changes and upgrades to the seed business. In October of 2011 plans began for the construction of a new seed cleaning plant. New cleaning equipment is to arrive this July and the plant should be up and running by the fall of 2012. Lorne manages the farm for slow and steady growth. He believes in growing many crops and being diversified. These methods are used to minimize the risk that is inherent in grain production. Crops produced are wheat, barley, oats, corn, canola, hemp, sunflowers, soybeans and edible beans on 5,000 acres of cropland. Approximately one third of the acreage is for pedigreed seed production. Most of the seed is processed at the cleaning plant located on the farm. Lorne has also been involved as a director with many organizations such as Manitoba Pool Elevators, Keystone Ag Producers, Canterra Seeds and presently the Portage Co-op. In 1997 Lorne became a director for the Manitoba Seed Growers’ Association. He maintained his position on the board until 2005 during which he served two years as Association President. During the time of his presidency, Manitoba hosted both the


National CSGA Annual General meeting and an Interprovincial meeting. Lorne always has and continues to enjoy his involvement with other seed growers. He considers seed growers to be the leaders in their communities. He believes the interaction and networking with his fellow growers have made him a better seed grower, farmer, and community person. Lorne has been married to Liette Lavergne for 19 years. Together they have raised three children; Janelle, Alexa and Jared. He takes pleasure in spending time with them and being involved in their various activities. In his spare time he enjoys motorcycling in the summer and riding his snowmobile in the winter.



Edwin Kiffiak Foremost,Alberta

Edwin Kiffiak was born on September 3, 1942in Coadale Alberta. He spent most of his childhood on the family farm south of Legend Alberta. Ed went to school in Foremost and upon graduation in 1961 he worked in Calgary and took night courses at Mount Royal College. In 1963 he enrolled in the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Geomatics faculty and graduated in 1965. Following graduation he accepted a position with an engineering and legal survey firm in Whitehorse Yukon Territories. He remembers this time of his life when he had great appreciation for the explorers and adventurers that had preceded him, how they dealt with the cold, the isolation, and basic everyday survival. After four years in the North Country he felt in need of an extended holiday. Ed and a fellow working associate hopped in a Volkswagen van, departed Edmonton and went travelling. They drove to Eastern Canada, down the Eastern United States seaboard and then south to the tip of Tierra del Fuego in South America. One year and forty-eight thousand miles later they returned to Alberta! On the first leg of the trip, in Guatemala in Central America , he met his wife, Karen Bowser of Orinda, California. He then spent another two years of legal surveying in Calgary before returning to the family farm in 1972. On October 7, 1972 Karen and Ed were married and made their home on the Kiffiak farm. They raised three children, two daughters and a son. Their first daughter, Rachelle, passed away at the age of 15 in an automobile accident, second daughter Carolyn is married, living in Lethbridge, and teaching at the Lethbridge College. Their son Nathan is 18 years old and is graduating from Foremost High School this year.


When Ed started farming he became interested in the seed industry, and with the help and encouragement of some prominent local growers he started his first seed production in 1974. Ed remembers the help and advice he received from Russel Greeno and Lenard Haney as he started a probation plot of Wakooma Durum. He became a Select seed grower in 1979. Over the last 40 years he has seen tremendous changes in the seed and farming industry. Ed started with a 28 foot IHC press drill, pulled by a JA Case open cabbed tractor, and harvested with an 18 foot Massey Harris open cab (no cab) combine. Not sure of the number of different kinds and varieties grown Ed is sure it would be in the hundreds, they have grown cereals , oil seeds , pulses and grass seed. Living in a small community gives rise to opportunities and obligations to participate in local enterprises and endeavours. Ed was on the board of many organizations; Hoping Rural Electrification Association, United Farmers of Alberta, Etzikom Water Organization and school and church organizations. In support and promotion of the seed industry Ed was a board member and chairperson of the AgExpo seed fair for 28 years and currently is a board member on the Foremost Coop Seed Cleaning Plant. Church and family are very important to Ed and have been a large part of his life. He has been a member and has held various board positions on the Foremost Evangelical Free Church over the last 40 years. My highest regards, respect and love go to my family, especially my wife, Karen, for her support and ongoing love and commitment.



Larry Kitz Two Hills, Alberta

Larry Kitz was born in Fort Saskatchewan and moved at the age of six with his family to a farm near Innisfree in 1965. From his father Joe and mother Anne, Larry immediately took an interest in agriculture and began farming in 1979 growing his first certified seed crop in 1983. He currently farms with two partners, brothers Garry and Terry who “hold down the fort” when Larry is at meetings and conferences. The farm has grown to encompass over 10,000 acres and a 4000 head feedlot. In 1981, the farm applied minimum tillage practices to reduce soil erosion and better utilize soil moisture. 1988 found Larry visiting Southeast Asia and Australia with the Canadian Seed Growers’ studying farming practices in the Pacific Rim. While there, he was introduced to the first lines of Roundup Ready canola in research trials. In 1991 with Rob Saik (a.k.a Steve Stubblejumpski) and Randy Saskiw (Omex) he co-founded “Cropmasters” a producer group that hosts meetings and tours focused on crop production, marketing, and conservation in Northeastern Alberta. In 1992 he married Sheila and they are raising two children, Kassandra and Alexander. Kassandra is heavily involved in dance with groups from St. Paul to Edmonton and is contemplating teaching dance this fall. Alexander continues to play minor hockey leading the Vegreville Wranglers to one of the best seasons in years as captain. Alex has been selected to play for “Top Guns Canada” in Prague, Czech Republic this August at an international tournament and yes, Larry will be attending.


In 1996 Larry became a director to the Alberta Branch of the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association and after serving ten years, he spent a short time representing Alberta at the National Board in Ottawa. He has chaired the Seed Industry Partnership (SIP) consisting of the seed growers’ and seed plants for five years. SIP is the main thrust behind ACES. The year 2000 found Larry appointed by the Honorable Shirley McClellan Minister of Agriculture to the Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (AESA) Council for six years, the last year as Chair. In 2004, Larry received the Premier’s Award of Excellence from Premier Ralph Klein, and in 2005 received the Emerald Award for the work AESA has done to promote environmentally sustainable best management practices to farmers. Larry was also honored in May 2005 when His Majesty Prince Philip awarded him “The Duke of Edinburgh Habitat Conservation Award” in Regina celebrating the 100th anniversaries of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 2008 Larry created “FieldPro Custom Services” a trucking and mobile mechanical service company serving the agricultural and oilfield industries and continues to manage it today. For the past 10 years Larry has hosted a “Farmers’ Day Golf Tournament” the second Friday every June. Larry enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, and spending quality time with family (hauling them to hockey and dancing) and working with producers to improve their bottom lines.



Herbert & Helen Kletke Teulon, Manitoba

Herb Kletke was born in Rosenfeld, Manitoba, on July 20, 1934. The family farmed in

Rosenfeld until 1944 when they moved to Teulon to continue grain and livestock

farming. Herb joined the 4-H Seed Club in 1949, and his interest was piqued when the

Club was eligible for different varieties of seed to be grown and multiplied by 4-H

members. One of the first varieties was Herta – a two row barley that originated from

Sweden. The members were allotted one bushel of pedigreed seed. They did

multiplication for two years and then sold seed to some local farmers. Some of the early

varieties beside Herta Barley were Selkirk Wheat and Rodney Oats. This was truly the

beginning of Herb’s interest in farming and being a seed grower.

Helen Kletke, nee Holmstrom, was born in Teulon, Manitoba, on July 26, 1933. She

grew up in Inwood on a mixed farm. Helen became a member of the Inwood 4-H sewing

club and entered many competitions.

Herb and Helen were married in 1956 and began farming in 1959. In 1960 they became

members of CSGA and a short time after were growers of Select seed. They had two

sons, Darrell and Glenn. Darrell was killed in a car accident in 1977.

The Kletke’s have been growing, processing and retailing seed for decades from their

Teulon location with their son Glenn and his wife Maureen joining the operation.


They are founding members and or shareholders in most grower owned seed

distribution companies that have developed in western Canada.

They have been long term seed processors, running multiple lines of equipment

dedicated to processing both the traditional local crops as well as a significant amount of

forage seed from the local Manitoba Interlake region and beyond. Forever looking for

new opportunities with improvement and innovation, the Kletkes developed a

technologically advanced seed coating plant that treats a good portion of western

Canadian canola seed. Herb’s continuing interest in both new varieties and new crops

has made Kletke Seed the nucleus for a lot of new opportunities for local producers in

their area. Many new varieties were introduced to the region from initial Select seed

production that took place on the Kletke farm.

In the 1970’s the Kletke’s started negotiating better prices for chemicals for the farm, and

almost before they knew it, a full-fledged chemical business was in operation. This has

recently been downsized.

Herb and Helen were active members of the International Agricultural Exchange

Program for a number of years. Trainees came from Australia, New Zealand, England

and Scotland, and the Kletke’s are still in touch with most of them. In 1998 they travelled

to Australia to attend a trainee’s wedding, which proved to be a wonderful experience.

Due to their interest in farming, in 2005 they decided to travel to Brazil to see the farming

practices first hand, particularly relating to soybeans. This led to a trip to China in 2006

which really opened their eyes to the antiquated farming practices taking place there.

Both Herb and Helen are in their late 70’s but a love of the farm life and a desire to

accomplish more leaves no time for retirement! They are always busy looking for ideas

and approaches to diversify and be on the cutting edge of farming technology – staying

one step ahead and anticipating the future. The Kletke’s farm about 2,700 acres and

produce a wide variety of crops including wheat, oats, barley, canola, soybeans and

hemp. To manage both the farm and the multiple processing operation, the business

employs 5 part-time and 12 full-time employees.

Herb has a history of public service: a director of the Prairie East Sustainable Ag

Initiative, a Manitoba Pool member, Teulon Town Council, a founding member of the

Volunteer Ambulance, as well as all positions on the Lutheran Church Council. His

hobbies are fishing and spending as much time at the cottage as possible.

Helen is a member of the Lutheran LCW, the Teulon Ladies Curling Club and is a 50+

year member of the Teulon Women’s Institute. She also taught the Bethel Bible Series

for many years. Her hobbies are knitting, crocheting, needlework and reading.



Edward & Shirley Persely Bonnyville, Alberta

From an early age, Ed and Shirley enjoyed the outdoors and the farming lifestyle. After their marriage in 1959, they were seeking an opportunity to pursue a farming career. For several years, Ed assisted a farmer who experienced health problems. When this friend decided to sell his half section of land in 1966, Ed and Shirley purchased it and gradually added more land as it became available. They became pedigreed seed growers, enjoying all aspects of the industry, supplying a good share of the local seed market. Presently, they are the only registered seed growers in the Bonnyville area. They now grow 3500 acres of pedigreed and commercial crops of peas, wheat, barley, oats, and canola. Keeping up with the latest trends in agricultural production and technology, and being an asset to the community is important to Ed and Shirley. In 1997 they each received a certificate in agri-management upon completion of a 3 year program sponsored by the Ferguson Institute, University of Tulsa. When the need arose, they started an aerial spraying company which they operated for 7 years. Shirley taught school for 25 years and Ed was a refrigeration technician for over 30 years. They both support their church; Shirley taught Sunday School and Ed is still an elder. Eighteen years ago, they helped organize the Canadian Foodgrains Bank Growing Project in which they continue to serve on the committee and participate in the field work. Ed served as a director of the Lakeland Regional Agricultural Association, the Bonnyville Historical Society, and the Bonnyville Municipal Seed Cleaning Co-op.


Shirley manages the farm financial accounting. Having their son, Forrest, involved in the farming operation has been an encouragement. Forrest was born in 1967 and in 1984 they adopted their daughter Tammy when she was 9 years old . Ed and Shirley are presently working through their farm succession plan. Tammy, has training in business administration, so she and her family have other career interests. Forrest and his wife, Bobbi, have chosen to be the successors of the farm. Two of their children enjoy helping with the field work. Producing quality pedigreed seed has been a priority in Ed and Shirley’s life. They are honored to receive the Robertson Association Award!


Margaret & Cecil Reisner


Cecil Reisner Limerick, Saskatchewan

Barry Reisner accepted the award on Cecil’s behalf.

Cecil was born in 1931 on the family farm at Limerick, Sk. The farm was homesteaded by his grandfather in 1908. He attended school in Limerick and later attended the University of Saskatchewan, graduating with a geology degree in 1952. Cecil started farming in 1949 with his father. He started producing Certified seed in 1969. Over the past 42 years he has produced and processed a large volume of quality seed and sold it at a fair price. Soil conservation is an important part of his farming practices. Cecil married Margaret Buchanan who had also attended Limerick school. They raised a family of four children who have given them great joy and entertainment.

Gail teaches music and lives near Limerick. Barry farms with Cecil and lives near Limerick. Debra is a medical Doctor and lives in Saskatoon Sk. Janice is a physical therapist and lives in Edmonton AB. They also have 11 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Cecil and Margie are happy to have spent their lives in a small, stable community where people help one another and also help with community projects.
