I hope you were snooping in the neighbour's field or picked a low spot. Always something to deal with.

No time for snooping here
Neighbour shared picture , it’s several fields
Does show how cold it was . Not just low areas

To tell what damage is on that Canola seed, do a crush strip.

If the damage is brown in the cotyledon… sprout heated damage… white seeds are most often indicating heating not frost damage.

Too immature canola seeds…to see what the green seed damage will be when they are mature…. But heating damage and sprouts are indicated earlier…

Blessings and wisdom…. Straight cutting can lead to heated / weathered kernels… which are discounted far more. More than A half a percent damage can be downgrade …for human consumption crush markets.

You had me concerned, furrow. A suit goes with that hand, not a farmer. You could eat off that hand! Glad you clarified ownership!
