I am not sure braveheart. Canola was the cinderella crop and profits may have been taken away. In the past we here grew as much canola as possible. Then rr and ll allowed us to grow more tighter rotations. Newer varieties kept the tighter rotations. Canola was a hit cause it makes so many seeds per plant. We should not allow wheat et al the same as canola cause then we will be spending 100 per acre on seed across the board.

Also brave its all global. We need to keep up with everyone. Why do we pay the lions share?

Remember when brazil and argentina outlawed gmo but grew it anyway. Now a lot of our canola is multiplied everywhere but here, on kauai our seed supliers would get the boot if they did not pay out the hawaii govt. Probably costs us a couple dollars per lb. But we pay it.

The canola companies ramped up investment after seeing the success of Bayer selling out year after year and cranking seed prices accordingly - they all followed suit after that. We farmers tipped our hat 15 years ago. Was it better ?? We had to have it at any cost and the market responded. Every seed company followed Bayer's footsteps - full tilt, good bad or otherwise.

And they are in kauai whose residents all want to burn the crops before spraying season. How good is all that?
