Canola seed suppliers are happy. Now they do not have to look at such a large stack of inventory this winter.

Which companies are covering seed for re-seeding?
What companies are covering spray for flea beatles since seed treatment isn’t working?

So let me get this straight....guys go out with freezing temperatures to seed early ....the insecticide wears off and the seed gets froze off and they are better off re-seeding free seed???


Why not wait and do it once without the extra headaches of spraying free spray or reseeding free seed?????

The equipment and fuel costs are not free ...are they????

Or would a seed tax fix this lack of quality seed and seed treatments....maybe canola seed is too cheap. (Maximum Sarcasm Level) 😂

Perhaps crop insurance needs to implement an minimum seeding date on canola? seems later seeded canola always does better around here?

The most beautiful lentil fields around here this year are the ones seeded April 15 on Canary stubble burnt black. The black soil held the heat and lentils are 3 inches tall with 7-8 branches. You see Bucket every dog has his day. Seems farmers are all just experimenting. With about 100 days to grow a crop, we are never sure which hundred days they are. Depends on early frost in fall or late frost in spring.

I think lentils can withstand more frost than some other crops....first they start at a depth greater than canola...and they have built energy to emerge....

April 15 lentils would have to with stand a couple -9 nights in early may and a -6 a few nights ago. Not something I want to take chance on.
