    True. My thoughts:

    If you are only interested in strictly yield in terms of small plot brute **** fight of gentics only, buy bayer genetics.

    If you hate spraying blue smurf piss on only a sunny day and praying it works, find a roundup ready variety that you can spray at cotyledon and 4 leaf and again if you have to without breaking the bank and control some of those miserable weeds at the same time especially for direct seeders. Consider pea barley and wheat yields along with that canola yield in subsequent years. There are lots of varieties within one or two bushels per acre.

    Companies want to sell their own stuff and sell to their strengths using marketing not be lumped in together looking at only yield. Wow, like this marketing is unique to canola seed? Everything is sold this way.

    Net margin is more important then actual yield and good marketing like premiums play a role in that. And you wonder why Dow hasn't been on the PCVT much? Not the best yielder, but it may be the best netter.

    The companies are going to do their own trials regardless. Demonstration plots. Advancing new varieties. Go look at some company plots in your area. Be there for harvest day. Ask some questions.

    Thank goodness we have lots of varieties with lots of HT options to choose from. It breeds innovations and new technologies and the farmer again can benefit.

    Can PCVT be better? Yes. Does it need to be? Maybe it doesn't need to be at all. I know i don't use the info. But this sort of media release does make good television.
