Nexera Canola

[dwillms]

Has anyone had any experiences growing nexera canola. I'm thinking of growing some but have heard both good and bad reports.

2004-nexera 30bu, 6-8% green
2004-RR 35bu, no green
netted close to the same decided to grow it again

2005-nexera 30bu, 40% green
2005-LL 40-60bu yields 6%green
sold my LL anywhere between 5.25 and 6.00 and due to timingof delivery on my nexera got around $7.00 luckily. Still though the LL still netted better and is all we grew this year.

no green in either one but the green count was really high in 04 in our area too.

I am not growing nexera again mainly because they cut the premium and I don't like how line companies play games with special basis numbers that dilute premiums and because of delivery limitations.
