    Though I don't know your area intimately, I would hazard to guess that appearances can be deceiving. In that perhaps they are growing canola on canola for cash flow. All just to try to service the huge debt just to impress their organic neighbours.

      Sounds like a recipe for disaster! Anyone recall the Irish potato famine?

        It is a highly competitive and very productive area. They need not work to impress me! I noticed this year my most sensible neighbor has started the canola on canola rotation. I am pretty sure the farmers grow some kind of utility wheat. They go for yeild instead of protein content. The wheat crops here are completely even. There is no room for another head of wheat in them! So they should make money on wheat as well
