Last 5 quarters L233

Hows that 233 to swath compared to L-252
Gonna grow a bunch of 233p next year but might chicken out and swath some. See how the conditions are next fall.

It lodges like a mofo on cow shit.

Quad it swaths nice, once we got done all the 252 i just went out in the mornings and swath till noon then went combining. Couldn't do that with 252. Only spot it would shell is if the tires drove over it and side in crop divider. under belly roller and it also doesn't damage the pods. Im sold on growing some but not going to bet the farm on seeding all wall to wall. We grew L140 a year before it came out till last year had some 233 and l140. this year all 233 and 252 with a token 1000 acres of RR. After all is said in done the RR probably is in its last year being sown on our farm. Dropping 100%.

We ordered 8 quarters next year and its our no panic swathing program.

Im not wasting my time going 2.5 or less then have canola thats any where from 6 to 12 moisture to deal with.

Heat from a plane also doesn't work.

Thanks for the info.
We grew L-140 last year and it was very hard to feed into header straight cutting. This year we grew L-140 and L-233. The 233 seemed a lot less like page wire and fed better. Figured it might be reasonable to swath just judging by how it straight cut.
The 252 we’ve grown since it came out and has always been easy to swath. But shells bad if you get behind swathing. That’s where these pod shatter varieties are very appealing. If you get behind swathing..... might as well become straight cut on those fields.
