    Wash them well, cook 'em in edible oil, put a bit of salt on 'em...eat 'em like shrimp. In Africa regarded as a treat.

      We used lumiderm on most of ours.
      Between the frost and cutworms , some guys won't have much left - the next few days will tell the tail .
      Thanks for the heads up , I will get guys checking ASAP

        Furrow, we used Lumiderm on some of ours as well. Do you know how long it lasts?

          Label says 35 days after planting. But pretty sure the effects last much longer by controlling early.

            Hopper is right - control can be as long as up to bolting

              I'm worrying more on peas and beans than canola personally.... we have lumiderm on all of it.

                lumiderm on all of it also. but it sure gets tricky looking for damage on a frozen field . pricks eat it underground , we caught bad one time watching frost damage and they were rating it at the same time. they sure like flax too

                  Flax and peas have never shown economic damage here. Peas tend to regrow and flax typically branches out enough. Never seen a bare patch like canola then again something to watch.

                    well I can tell you we lost about 15 -20 ac all in strips on 2 quarters each , he'll of a mess , should of sprayed it a second time . I have had lots of canola come back. our flax did not ! I was watching it but there was so many they really done lots of damage . watch your flax very carefully . another time we had flax under seeded to alfalfa . the cutworms cleaned the flax off in big areas , all that was. left was alfalfa . those 2 quarters of flax is the reason we have lumiderm on every acre of canola , wished it was on the flax also
