-2C all night here...rain forecast Saturday to mellow fall fields for N application.

Also some deliveries turned back the last week that were harvested at 5 and hot days.

It must be because the terminal feels guilty stealing 5% of the value. Sry but I find that hard to believe unless there was some other issue.

I did an experiment. Same canola field, 2 different samples. One tested 10.2% moisture, the other tested 6.4%. I did a bushel weight test on both using a half litre cup and an old fashioned beam gram scale. The 10.2 was a 51.2 lb. bushel, the 6.4 was a 52 lb. bushel. I was very surprised.

Makes sense, higher the moisture the lower the test weight will be. Picture the old circular batch dryers, as it dried the grain level would go down.

Difference between L340 and L345. For pod drop in these winds .

Can’t really tell from your post which had better pod integrity. Realistically both are are not included in BASF’s 2025 lineup, I am guessing because they only have first gen. clubroot protection. My money is on 345 having better pod integrity.

We had 345 and 340. Some pod drop from the 340 and lower yield. Had a pioneer variety in that was supposed to be shatter something and it ended up on the ground when the pods were still green. Immature seeds, loss was quite high. 345 would be choice for next season, will be pissed if not available. Did not look at any others.

Both there

L356 shells/pod drop much worse than L340
