what the canola industry has learned from the clubroot situation

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes I agree farmers should do their part but isnt it funny how seed companies started the process. And funny its only showing up on the plots.

Seed companies and gagbusiness, conspiring
to make money? Now come on, really!
There are no cheating and crooked tactics
being employed they are all framers
friends. After all, they need us, we
don't need them, (that has a familiar ring
to it, doesn't it). Hell I heard that gag
business, hires planes ta fly over framers
fiels, and throw out wild oats, during the
off season............

everyone loves a good conspiracy. You must be joking to think that all this falls on one agronomist with mud on their boots. Come on guys....

What is the difference between a pair of
dirty rubber boots and a piece of dirty
equipement???? Nothing in my eyes-- They
both have the ability to contaminate.The
vets will always scrub their boots before
they leave your yard or they should.

Shaney,

Just like how cleavers got spread around. Do you remember how that happened?

Ever see an airplane fly over?

Between the: geese, ducks, moose, deer, gophers, foxes, badgers, cougars, bears, wildcats, domestic cats, dogs, coyotes, hawks, owls,... mice, rats, skunks, porkypines... quaders, snowmobiles, pipeliners... ag tours, farmers, farm livestock... wind, rain, farm equipment, trucks, seed, straw, hay, and feed...

We really should blame it on the summer student! In our area it was blamed on a plot drill.

What about the Army tracking clubroot between Namao and.... the list can go on for ever!!!

The biggest spread of weed seeds is by gravel/dirt/clay/fill and construction equipment spreading them everywhere.

Since
the triffid gm event got into all our existing breeder seed...without human help... (wink wink nudge nudge) its obvious the clubroot spore is everywhere already.

Why is this such a big deal when Europe has been dealing with this for half a century?

Shaney you have a lot of common sense so I like all your posts. Anyone got any insight or seen any studies on cutworms in Canola? I have a thinking that a lot of the cut worm problems that we have in our area are the result of growing glyphosate tollerant canola. as when one grows wheat or any other crop or summerfallow the next year and desicate with glyphosate the glyphosate tollerant volunteer canola does not need much leaves a food sourse for the cutworms in the fall. Causing a cutworm problem.

[Hopperbin]

Tom don't get us started on your certified seed. Especially when we can still remember cleavers in our certified canola seed.

Rats in Alberta! Finally found an Alberta farmer honest enough to admit he has seen one.

Hopper with cutworms how about the bs no more
lindane seed treatment for canola. Worked to stop
bugs for years.
