    Looking for Organic Canola

    Hi - We are potentially looking for a supplier of organic canola, and we would need approx 70 tonnes per month going forward.

    Any suggestions or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

      I thought all canola was organic.

      What is "inorganic" canola? Is it canola that does not have carbon or hydrogen atoms? I never heard of such a thing. Is it something that is mined instead of grown?

        its the volunteer stuff that grows years after in fields after farmers go broke from paying extremely high price per pound for canola seed. and need to grow a 30 to 40 bushel per acre crop to break even.

              Riders, that does not happen. Input Capital Corp has got your back with a financing and agronomy consulting package.

              Organic canola is quite rare. As Klause says, it has to be a non GMO variety. It has to be grown with some serious isolation from neighbours. There is chance of cross pollination from wind, water, wildlife walking through fields etc. it is grown on "bush" land where there is still trees on the headlands and fence lines.
              Most property lines are just shared by eyeball around here. Trees and fences are cleaned up and gone. Locals are dependant on canola profits to cash flow their farms, so there is a high frequency of canola planted every year. To each their own.

                Sorry that was not very helpful.
                My best guess would be to look at the Peace river area .

                  What is it worth? 30 bucks a bushel?

                    Maybe when the kuai resident and the babes against stuff get their way can buy from there. No wonder 9/10ths of the hawaian farm land is highly productive wasted land.
