Canola Comparison

[Klause]

So we had a quarter section, that we ran out of seed on, and figured we could do a great trial.

We did 140 acres of Dekalb 75-65. Then seeded 10 acres in the center of the quarter to 45H33.

Same fertility, same spraying.

It was straight cut... and we had a weigh wagon out. Took a cut of each variety on the edges of the trial, full length. 1.4 acres each cut, all four exactly the same distance.


45H33:
Cut 1: 43.58bu/ac
Cut 2: 47.67 bu/ac
Avg: 45.63

Moisture: 9.4%

Dekalb 75-65
Cut 1: 39.79 bu/ac
Cut 2: 35.67
Avg: 37.73
Moisture 9.2%


Difference:
7.9 Bu/ac (not corrected for moisture).


The 45H33 did slow the combine down by 0.2 MPH. It was noticable, but cut very nicely.

How much N did you put down on this field?

[Partners]

Same yield we got out of our Dekalb..7444..

The truth keeps coming and all the commercials in the world cant make up for lost yield.
Just saying good sales people get sales but field trials get results.
Like I said to my specialty canola dealer. Give me a quarter of your best seed and if it yields the same as my best liberty Ill switch to all specialty canola.
No takers yet.

The neighbor had L140 across the road and his combine hopper was full the same time ours was..Same yield ..Yet on his trial the Invigors made 60 plus..B.S. dot com to that one..

[sumdumguy]

I gotsta get me some of that h33, its the bestest ever! We have proof.

[SASKFARMER3]

Just like the last 10 years, 5440 had the next best field beat by 6 bu and it wasn't even on the best ground this year.
