Conventional Canolas 'Round the World

[jazz]

No need to go around the world to access conventional Canola. I bought this stuff for $3 a pound this spring. Seemed to grow good, still waiting on the rain to harvest it though.

I see they let you reseed it for one yr after. Whats the in crop chemical program for it?

I'm comparing apples to apples.

Europe grows a lot of spring OSR... And What I'm comparing is spring OSR to spring canola.

Winter **** in Europe routinely yields 30-40% more than spring seeded.

Spring seeded, conditions in southern AB and Red River Valley of Manitoba are very similar... Seed end of april / beginning of May, Harvest end of August/ September...

How much rain does the Red River valley get? We got 7/10's of a F#%$*g inch on the crop after seeding this year. I have always been under the impression that Manitoba got a lot more rain then we do!

The seed grower will only recommend Edge, but I sprayed about a quarter of the acres with Solo and it never missed a beat. It has Clearfield parentage.

7/10 doesn’t do anything really. That is very depressing Oofty. We got 8-10.5 inches in 5 days between May 25 and June 5, it drowned a few hundred acres of lentils, then we didn’t get any rain the rest of the summer until last few days. At least the dry crop is in the bin. A bit of soggy bog still out. That’s the only consolation.
