CANOLA on CANOLA...profitability or stupidity

[Farmforlife]

I know that most push rotations...myself included. But I have not and will never grow canola on canola. Club root will destroy the oilseed industry. Severe measures need to be put in place. Any operation doing this should have zero insurance not only and those fields, but should be denied crop insurance on every acre of their farm.

Canola on canola is nothing the real question is
Canola on canola on canola?

Canola on canola is all wrong....Entire canola ecosystems are collapsing....We are in the beginning of a mass canola extinction....

There is a field across the road from some land I rent and in the last 10 years it has had canola 8 of them. Nobody cares about clubroot, the local RM had a information meeting this spring and only myself, the reeve and the councilor and his dad showed up. You think 9 dollar canola is bad what til your only growing 30 bu or less an acre of it.

Do you mean every year or just two yrs and then something else for a couple yrs. I don't think that's a problem.

What percent of land in Western Canada is rented?
What percent of landlords have clauses in the rental agreement that state proper crop rotations have to be followed?
Once the land is infected it also becomes the landlord's problem. What is severely infected land worth? As rental property or if it's sold.

They say a clubroot infection isn't an absolute death sentence if it is "managed" with proper rotation and resistant varieties.

Supposedly not a problem here YET. Maybe the guys farming in the clubroot zones should chime in and explain their experiences.

Central Alberta is the hotspot, It would be good to get their opinion.

Grow all C varieties myself.
Not sure but think most here do.
No one I know does canola on canola.
I tried it once and didn't work very well.

At the very least crop insurance shouldnt cover canola on canola.

If price stays at 9 something.
No need to worry about canola in the rotation..
