$20 Canola is too Cheap

[ColevilleH2S]

My Canola has started to flower again. Maybe this second crop will out yield the first

Have some flowering too, hope to get it picked up soon and then spray before it becomes a mess.

Regardless of Canola $20+ next year I have a feeling there will be alot fewer canola acres on the gumbo next year. Unless there is a meaningful recharge of the subsoil moisture I know there will be fewer on this farm if any at all and I know I'm not alone.

The thing is planting canola won’t cost that much more than planting durum at $22 per bushel or 60cent lentils.

Not dealing with establishment issues and not supporting the biotech giants ....priceless. Would not surprise me if we see another big jump in canola seed price for 22.

We noticed dry burnt out areas by far worst
Low areas with better yields there is very little , most varieties the same in this area

Ran out a sample in 2 fields a few days ago, thought we were cracking the canola. On closer inspection it was indeed sprouted canola. Looking earlier in the year I had observed sprouted canola in the pods.

How will this affect storage?

Exposed oil , even low amounts , will heat very quickly even if dry and or not on air

If shes 20 bucks, then I think thats enough premium to let it be someone elses problem.

Last thing this year needs is a bunch of storage and heating troubles.

Unfortunately that is reality.
At today prices if one has canola contract or not , and you see much for sprouting , agree let the elevators deal with it unless you have extra aeration and time to babysit canola on farm storage

I have heard of bins crusting and starting to heat within 24 hrs

Never been a better year to get the tops off the bins

furrow I am seeing a tiny fraction of this sprouting in the canola. Maybe under 0.5%. Testing dry 6-8% moisture. Blowing it down before going into storage. This going to be a problem? What's safe threshold for sprouting? This is all new to me.
