Guesses on the final numbers on Canola

Mine has been swathed 12 days ago and still green seeds very immature and wet. Not typical at all and not unexpected for the looks of the l150 not surprising shit looking stuff.
did a half mile up and back and thinking when the shit dries up its not good not going to be good at all.

What would your aster infestation be? Mine is like 20 to 50 percent so its bad.

Swathing 5440 today and getting better the later I
seeded. 1 st field harvested yesterday. Yellow
aster at 40 percent and then the two plus inches
twisted the shit out of it a month back. We gave it
everything. Yield by wagon 18.9. Can you say
WTF. I've being saying that all day. It was the
worst when Swathing but long way to even get
close to last years crop. It's starting to look like
2002 or 204 all over again. Truckers are real
lonely.

14.4 is my wag. Canola yielding from low I have heard of 30 to high of 42. Never picked up a field myself under 35. L150 haha great variety. Ran out of 5440 with 10 acres left to go this spring so did a side by side with L150. The 150 looked ranker, taller and leaned over and lodged more. Result 150 = 34 bpa while 5440 beside it = 41 bpa. Im not sure how we got the yields we are getting with no rain since June 21st and endless summer heat.

explain how you say 150 was a great variety? Sounds like a shit show to swath and yielded less.
