Good article.
I remember they have been talking about growing winter canola down in US South for years. Why has w canola not taken off before if it can make them 80% more than winter wheat?

There was canola production in Georgia about 10 years ago, but the local crusher shut down and that ended it. At that time they were growing spring types in a winter rotation, similar to Australia.

Winter canola production currently in the US is developing in the high plains regions, Nebraska.
