In 32 years I can count on three fingers or less the ones that were a cakewalk. Best years were lucky flukes but never were they awesome growing wheat and durum because of a bad acronym starting with 'C'. That's why we educated our sons, so they don't need to wreck their necks looking foe clouds.

Yup those young guys are so informed that on the radio I heard only 50 percent of canola seeds survive .... now do the math on the seed costs.

-4 and colder here this week. There's gonna be some wrecks canola stays in bag till 17th of may then go hard

more often then not it freezes around here last week in May . how do you beat that ? straw management is the key . canola will take a lot of frost if ground is fairly black

Lots of canola gets froze out around here. Some say it can take 6 degrees of frost if it's been hardened in ie. cold soil, previous cold during germination. If temps have been warm and it pops then gets even -1 it'll get whacked opposed to something with cold experience. Black soil I've seen with my own experience will help but really if it isn't hardened up it'll die like flies from Raid.

-5 for tomorrow night here. Frost almost every night this week. and a lot of people seeded in April.

A -4 with lots of dew - not bad , -4 with no dew or recent rain - very bad .
