Devils Trumpit

[sumdumguy]

Did the government get rid of all the seed inspectors, too? Seed specs should be tightened up, right Tom?

[grassfarmer]

Oh I thought this was going to be about Donald Trumpit.

Most Bayer canola seed is produced in S AB where cleavers are unheard of. I am combining some of this seed today. The seed tag should give where is was produced. The first 2 numbers of the crop certificate are the year and the second 2 are the province of production with 80 denoting Alberta and 70 Saskatchewan.

2 to 5% cleavers? That came from the horses mouth? Give me a break. That one came from the other end of the horse. Thats just preposterous.
There's no way. FYI you are allowed 0% cleavers in canola. None !

We grow canola for seed. Cleavers are the biggest risk to a grower in a seed production field. There is zero tolerance to cleavers. If you have them, your field goes for commercial crush. If it's a small area, rouging is an option. 2-5% is bs

It's coming from somewhere.

Isn't some canola multiplied in other countries in the off season for production here.

I know I have gained many weeds since buying canola seed that were not common here before.

[Ronski]

Instead of growing the seed out why not roll it out? The cleaners shouldn't crush, what about Devils Trumpet? Faster than growing a thousand seeds.

Cleavers are a conspicuous admix and can be easily distinguished. I am not sure about Devils Trumpit. I have never seen seed yet.

The name is "Devil's Trumpet", not "Devils Trumpit".

Don't even sniff the plant or you'll be affected...especially TOM4CWB.
