How many days to grow a canola crop in your climate?

Not far from you east of red deer. Canola swatting started here in last week. I started yesterday maybe a day or two late Liberty L-241 C. Peas started combining over a week ago for one day hasn't stopped raining long enough to go back at it. Malt barley is ready to swath but ground is to wet, I imagine it is all chatted now. Started desicating CPS wheat Saturday only green is in the hollows. Finished seeding about May 14 this year. Canola would have been done by about the 9th, probably 7-10 days earlier than usual.

Seeded may 16 th.

East sask.

All our cereals get sprayed or they would stay green till freeze up.

Things are very slow to change in this cool cloudy weather. East of Edmonton the canola is just starting to hit the ground, peas are not harvested yet and lots of late seeded barley needs at least 3 weeks. Some frost around the area particularly to the northeast this morning.

We seeded the same as u and that canola has been swathed a week now. Hopefully can harvest it next week. How much N and P do u put on your canola?

I see posts of people already swathing and combining canola, and moisture in the 8's or 6's. I know I live in a cold wet place with the least heat units of the prairies, but it is still hard to believe the difference. Starting seeding canola on May 9, and it is still completely green to look at, leaves are still green, even bottom pods don't show any seed colour change. And this is supposedly short season varieties. Was out of the ground in under a week, never looked back. mostly quit flowering by early Aug. I don't expect to be doing anything with it until October, 150 ish days, last year was more like 180 days or more. I'm tickled pink to ever get moisture as low as 10%( and paranoid about storage at that) 6% would be a dream. So how many days to maturity where you live, and what season length variety?

My CPS wheat seeded before the Canola is still visibly green also. But this summer has been exceptionally cool, after an exceptionally early warm dry start to spring, I've been wearing long johns off and on since early July. I don't think our daytime highs are significantly lower than other points at this latitude, but the lows are much cooler.
