Do specialty oil canola plants freeze easier than regular canola?

[poorboy]

Had a -2 frost a few days ago and almost every field around of Invigor L258HPC is wiped out and the Invigor L340PC fields are hardly touched. All seeded side by side with the same drill on the same days.

The Invigor L258HPC is the healthy oil. Wondering if there might be issues with some varieties being less frost tolerant than others?

Mostly cotelydon to 1 leaf.

New invigours have been bred up into GMO Frankenstein monsters.

They will be the first thing growing right after Putin drops the big one.

What was seed size difference ?
Where was country of origin on seed tag ?
Just curious.
I have seen significant differences in conditions like this over the years

Nexera is usually a wuss around here. Flea Beatles thrive on it

must say its nice not having to watch that shit take a month to look decent

With the higher oil content it seems to start heating easier in the bin as well.

Just me, but I've always felt the premium never quite covers the potential risk. In my mind proven out over time.

I agree. From lower yield, lower viger, lower drought and flee beetle resistance, difficult delivery windows, the odd load rejected for being out of spec which should be impossible, to not curing and having 4% green despite shelling out while you swathed. Someone else can grow it.

Which seed cost more?

The more expensive it is, the quicker it dies. That’s why volunteer canola can survive the apocalypse.

I grew nexerra 3 years. First year through a particular elevator company which will remain nameless and a dreadful situation, and other two with ADM in lloydminster. Honestly have to say ADM had it set up quite well and delivery wasn’t a problem nor selling the overage at the premium price. At the time it was $1.25 premium and seed cost was $1.25 premium over regular non nexerra. Last year I grew nexerra it yielded 5 bu better than my other stuff. Never grew it again because I like ending on a high note. Next years after that the seasons did not cooperate with nexerra.
