Canola Flowering, wow,,,,

I say get out of your vehicle and walk into fields and check thats better than the 120 km drive by.

Two weeks to three flowering usually gives best results.

10 days is usually shit.

a lot of it where there is rain is a lack of fert . last 2 years really depleted the land around here . hear canola has been blooming 3 1/2 weeks still going strong . L230 won't go as long . looks like 130 lbs N won't cut it this year

Bingo👍

My four legged self propelled harvesters will turn it into cow chow. We’ll burn the brush piles this winter and a couple more years of grazing and disking will get it smooth enough for pasture. A few rocks to pick/dig out as well.

My mom calls it “free land”. Aside from the D8, fuel bill, and a bunch of time I guess it kinda is😎

Sweet! We’ve done the same thing as well. Some real rocky stuff we just floated after brushing and helicopter sprayed a year or so later when bush come back.

good points about the wind causing earlier flower drop, as we certainly been having plenty of wind. Hopefully though, pollination has been successful, maybe the wind will make pollination better than ever.
We'll know in a week or two when we can see how it's poding out. Fingers crossed till then.

Case
You mentioned l230 not so good?
Any ideas why?

Does seed get tested for blooming and seed set or just true to type, germ and cleanliness? Can last year production in dry conditions affect this years seed?

[GOODRUM]

I'm not sure, the invigor brand won't disclose the vigor results of the test to me.....go figure apparently it's not required by law to sell certified seed

Likely because it’s so cheap. 😂

Do the seed treatments cause issues with water absorption and germination when it’s dry?
