    Canola Crisis, is it even worth growing?

    With tanking pricing, drought, disease bad yields does it make sense to keep Canola in the rotation?

    Sounds like a confirmation of my choice to increase canola acres next year.

      When did this site become YouTube for small farmers with old machinery. All these posts should be in the general site.

        Cows should be in the rotation

          Second thought, cows aren’t really a rotation thing

              Canola growing is a money pit. Not in a good way.

                  Foreward pricing some at what we think is a poor price at the time pays off in the end.
                  $16.75 sure looks good now.

                    Wheat in the CWB days was a total loser , just recently it’s back to being a complete dog unless your getting 100-120 bushels/ ac
