Word on the street this morning ..

45H 33 hit 115 bus/AC on the weigh wagon
Field ave 90 plus Raymore area
This canola crop was foliar top dressed a few times on top of 75--25-25-20 I think

It would be interesting to see how it harvested. Last year we had 100 acres of L252 that went pretty close to 70. It was very difficult to harvest being tall, lodged, tangled, massive stalks, and just tons of material. A different variety might be better?

Yea typical weigh wagon trial guy shows up you pick a swath and they weigh it tried once on a half mile road allowance yes it's possible! I personally don't give a **** what the weigh wagons said it's what the half or section averaged or section! Any thing under a 100 acre plot doesn't say much! Even our 40 acre plots don't mean much. But it's sure good for seed sales! Raymore will be wall to wall 43! Ha ha

[farmaholic]

Not even in my wildest dreams...

[furrowtickler]

It was weighed twice and average is over 90
Easy there s/f take a breather - if you think it impossible you have a closed mind .

If those numbers are correct, we will be buying some seed..

[vvalk]

Furrow. Not saying you aren't right but I have seen so many trials where the trials weighted on a wagon yield 50 bus and the whole field around the trials yield 40. Same fertility and farmer .You can weigh 5 times 90 bus average on every single acre of a large field. Call me closed minded then

[wmoebis]

Partners that is exactly the way they want farmers to think and why 3rd party/public testing is important info.
Good business!

[SASKFARMER3]

Again what was the average on the section I don't give a shit what the weigh wagon said! If you have 10000 acres if canola and produce 960000 bus that impresses me. I want that variety, but I bet this field averaged close to 9600 bus on a quarter that's possible but 16000 that's not here yet.
Again perfect conditions can create a great crop was their 35 years ago with old Rec. oh what we could of done with not till and huge Fert

[wakopa]

Test plot near me did 49 but the whole field did 39.

[MBgrower]

Why is it every seedco's local trials claims their variety was the top yielder? Published Crop insurance data is what i go by.

[furrowtickler]

Easy there guys - I know full well single swaths don't relate to field averages . Just passing on an interesting weigh I heard today - don't shoot the messenger . If he does or did average 90 ish - that's the real impressive thing I get from it. But it interesting to watch the reactions here , some curious some furious.

[STR1]

With rumours of yields like that canola should be $6.00/bus in no time!!!

[HappyFarmer]

I'd believe it. I had a 1/4 of h33 but it froze out in the spring. Sounds like it's done well this year.

PHI canola won hands down on this farm again this year. Awesome stuff, except for the Clearfield 45h76. They can get rid of that one as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know why you guys are furious at furrow. He's saying the trial is higher than the field. Make sense right?

I would doubt a 1 year fertility plan would get that yield though.

[Partners]

The neighbor did a Dekalb test plot..His yield was just over 60 b/a..

Yet when he was combining across the road from us, we timed his hopper and it was running approx. 40 b/a..same as ours...
