Jeez , that is disheartening
Feel for you , a guy does everything right only to be kicked in n the nuts by the big fella
We had some (not basf) last year that turned out to be 5% germ
How the *** does that happen ?

That just sucks. For what we pay for seed you’d think they’d back you up but it’s becoming apparent they’re no better than a common csucker. Bite the hand that feeds. BASF will be getting out of canola seed business before they eat crow and come good. It’s a shame but some’s pride is more important. Sad when the chemical you breed the seed to be resistant to is sketchy as to its efficacy and you have to add a group 1 grass killer to finish the job, and they expect the same price as roundup ready canola seed. Even clearfield canola is as bad for cost and subpar chemical.

If you have a claim and take it out of production they are off the hook for yield loss….

Thanks they didn't tell us that but a friend in the industry had told us that.
I've never had anything like this happen in decades of farming and I frankly have no idea if BASF will own this or not. I do know I couldn't look at as many acres of that crap as I've got all summer and the field we pulled needs organic matter on it after peas 2 years ago and last year's drought.

There was big problems with that 340 and 345 starting already last year. One variety had high green count on our neighbors land and it was harvested dead last waiting for it to cure. The other variety apparently didnt make 20 bu when the 233s and 357s were making 50bu.

So they put it right back on the market. Figures.

99sc looking fine to..

This really sucks! For the money we pay for that crap seed its sickening that it won't grow.

Used to be we would pay a $1.00 per lb. or $55.00 for a treated 25kg bag and that cheap seed would jump out of the ground in 3-4 days and grow. Hardly ever sprayed flea beetles back then neither.

Canola has turned into one big scam!

100% agree however that doesn't help or cover a guy for this yr's eventual hit he will take. And the free hat won't cut it.

FYI I don't grow invigor but still doesn't sit right.
