    Canola and peas and depending on yield and grade hard red wheat only profit centres in our area. We live close to a malt plant but less than 40% success rate so waste of time imo. In our area some faba beans grown as well but at 5.75 a bushel not very profitable. Still debating between hrws or CPS wheat. Prefer CPS as it stands better, yields better, holds grade better and seems to get less ergot but it is worth much less this year. So 35% canola, 30% wheat, 25% feed barley and 10% peas. I know feed barley is a loss leader but in our area peas or wheat only real alternative and I prefer barley straw for the cows.

          Keeping the ship on same course and add a few more soybeans .
          about 1/3 rotation , canola/wheat/peas with a feild or 2 of soybeans.

            Always think about trying peas or soybeans but by time you figure in having to roll the land after seeding and do something different with straight headers and conveyors instead of augers it just doesn't pencil out for us.
            So that being said, we will most likely do the usual here being half canola half wheat.

              If canola price tanks.
              There will not be many net dollars in any crop.
              Grow what you like.results will be the same in the end.
              Lots of malt bly accepted in this area last yr?

                The problem I see and it was starting last year is price drop in some commodities. We discussed what would happen if the world grows another big crop?
                Our lower dollar saved us somewhat on grain prices but on some inputs and equipment wow!

                  If it starts to dump snow or early May rains, we will not have to worry about seeding much of anything..

                      SF3 you stated two wks ago your canola acres were going to be lower this yr. If my memory serves me correct the number from last yr is on par with your plans this yr.
