Wich canola vaieties performed the best in your area? Pioneer Hy-Bred canola varietties did extreemly well here outyeilding the 5000 Invigors.
Now the Pioneer JRI elevators who can not sell top end Pioneer Hy-Bred varietites are putting presure on farmers to buy only JRI canola varieties in order to capture a small premium in the clearfeild market. The program is supposed to be buy, JRI canola varieteies plus chem and fert to capture this premium. But, farmers with any clearfield canola can cash in on this premium if they push a little.
Most of the major line companies are pushing hard to tie farmers hands with these premiums for "all" their canola business, seed, fert, chem. The problem is most of their(JRI, Cargil) vateities are average at best and premiums get lost in yeild loss. There is still a big advantage as independent producers to produce the best canola varieties for their own farms and market this canola when you want, to whom you want, and at what price makes sense to your opperation and not theirs. My 2 cents.
