What ever happened to that thing where us farmers put our yields of different crops into a listing a

[Hopperbin]

We would put acres planted and yield. Just wondering what happened to that, cause it could have been a good tool to warn agains l150 canola or some other variety good bad that we pay big bucks for.

[Hopperbin]

Could it be a fit for agriville to assist in something like this. WGRF?

Talk to those who seen it, grown it or had it it plots, not some 25 yr old univ grad or some flunky line company sales guy talk. Or the worst ever - Bayer b/s.
Not pickin on you hopper but 70% of canola growers do not do their homework, yes my 2/3rds 1/3 rds b-s. 70% buy on the best deal,programs of the day, always have. Talk to guys that have grown it, been there and done it. And it matters not what seed company ....
73-45 was a good example, good yeilds in ideal conditions with no diseases presure.....
L150 was known for having weak legs from the start if you konw who ask. L130 different story.

I am paying more attention to the neighbours now, l150 was pretty new last year I suppose your a bit more on top of the varieties than I am. Nothing wrong with some sort of database to put our varieties yields municipality acres of each etc etc into a data base so that we can see what is happenning on a much larger scale. I don't have enough neighbours and or time to call and talk to and try to jot it all down on all the different varieties out there. Think this is much easier.

[Hopperbin]

This has been done in the past or maybe is still around that I don't know of. I am willing to contribute to be a member. Farmers fields are the best test, sure there was some seed growers bragging up new varieties at the time but it showed up on the acres grown so one knew to be cautious. It was a good system.

L150 has problems its had since it was
introduced.

[Hopperbin]

Ya but a lot of farmers got screwed this year that maybe could have had a heads up. I had plants that were laying flat on the ground I don't need to be reminded that its not a good stander. I want to know before hand cause the specs were that is stands straight.

[Hopperbin]

What about the barlies? Are they getting accepted for malt? What is the days to maturity? How is the fusarium? This is all questions us farmers should be answering ourselves.

[Hopperbin]

So much info fertilizer used. Protiens. Oil content, etc. Can be used to compare different crops like barley to wheat to canola to flax etc.

[Hopperbin]

Date of planting to yield etc.
