Heat on Canola

[Klause]

Guys we straight cut all our canola. However only the stuff treated with HEAT heated... on top of that it's bizzare... by the time I got to Foam Lake oil was dripping out of the trailer. It doesn't even smell burnt it smells like hot canola oil... Was remarked at Milligan on that, and the fact they can't test moisture in it because of all the oil. The seed is completely black inside and out no reddish color, but pretty much every seed is split.

Something in that chemical causes this, and it's not the first time they've seen it at Milligan this year....

Sounds like a weird one but good you moved it out already.
It might be worth a phone call to BASF.


What was the temperature of the heated portion?

[Klause]

87 degrees celsius when we unloaded!

straight cutting canola is a lot like anal sex. everyone has heard about it, lots want to try it, some say its great. Usually you end up with a great big mess and then wonder why you ever though it was a good idea.

DISCLAIMER:
I had a few beers to self medicate a really sore shoulder....

Just did a week in Mexico for under $2,000 for 2. Klause maybe you can still go even with heated canola.

[sumdumguy]

I can turn that $2000 into $5000 in Las Vegas for you.

Tmryfield, LOL! That's hilarious.
I am surprised you would ever admit to .....straight cutting canola.

Why would a person phone BASF ? Pre buy for next year? Get a "hot discount."
They don't give a **** about you, it's the farmers fault his canola heated. He didn't (describe best management practice here ) . It was harvested too hot, too cold, too dry, too wet. It was sprayed when it was too hot, too cold, too dry, too wet.

Good observation by Klause, but the chemical companies will place responsibility squarely onto the farmer and then ask him if he wants to pre buy for next year because there is going to be a shortage.

Shitty luck Krause. Is this heat another chemical residue issue from companies too.

You used a product called heat , it obviously worked.

Heat works like cocaine. Use some and it hits quick and blows things away but after 10 minutes it effects disappear. Then you feel glum and need more. It's a shitty chemical; both it and coke. I used heat and glyphosate post harvest and pre seed and didn't care for it. Sure it grinds things down but it doesn't kill. It works like Infinity. So much rr canola in the wheat this year. Some guys used heat at dessication and ended up going back in with something else cause it didn't do anything.

Used Heet mixed with glysophate as a burn off prior to seeding RR corn for grazing, Excellent results gave corn the jump it needed to get ahead of volunteer canola. Better alternative than cocktail of chemicals that is used in corn country.
