    I have a hard time believing this.
    Western Canada has some of the most experienced canola growers in the world , in a relatively cool season climate. And it’s is a struggle more times than not
    Just can’t see novice growers in a non cool season climate remotely have success with canola unless it’s winter canola
    just my thoughts

      Seems different parts of the USA have played around with canola for years but it isn’t on their radar like corn beans or wheat. Winter stuff maybe but spring I’m doubtful. Remember guys talking online from northern states and their yields stated were abysmal compared to ours.

        A bigger pie is always better

        Even though they would be growing winter Canola, some of the technology investment would cross into our crop. This would be a good thing. More eyes and money on clubroot, blackleg, fleabeatles...

          With the pod seal varieties farmers down there they could use existing equipment. Most don't know what a swather is and some young pups up here don't either. Help break up rotation to control disease problems . U.S. guys likely wonder how we grow soybeans up here in the snow banks .
