Furrow I notice you mention very few clubroot varieties, not popular or not necessary in your neck of the woods? That is all I grow. I did not try 345 this year but my neighbour did, grew a very heavy stand on pea stubble but it doesn’t appear to stand any better than the 234 right next to it. I grew 234 and 255 last year, 255 stands much better. This year 255 and 1 field Brevant M10 if my memory works. As for swathing or straight cutting, much prefer straight cutting if I can goes through the combine so much better imo. If you grow RR varieties swathing is mandatory imo.

Every variety is clubroot that we grow , maybe your not up on other brands varieties.

Bayer / BASF not the only game in town on liberty anymore...... Not by a long shot

We had a gusty 70+ kmh wind here yesterday. The $250k swathers might be sitting on the lots for a while yet.

Just about everyone here has made the committment to straight cut come hell or high water. Chem assisted of course.

The majority seem to be straight cutting all crops including canola. Major shift in harvest in this cool wet area.

actually , they have fallen behind big time , nearly out of the game

I wish them good luck and their crops mature before the snow hits
Some Guys that were dead set in straight cutting here and north the past two years literally destroyed their combines trying to straight cut dead ripe canola 4-6 in off the wet muddy ground .
Everything in moderation, it applies to everything in life

Furrow I certainly am an invigor fan, 233P is pod shatter resistant but not clubroot according to BASF website. The Brevant variety I mentioned is a non invigor liberty link variety. As far as Dekalb, Canterra, Pioneer you would certainly be correct that I pay little attention to their varieties.

233 definitely a good variety 👍
But should not be grown here
Clubroot varieties should be extremely considered here .

You have me curious now, what company has the best canola now in your opinion? What variety?

[Guest]

we have had such good luck with pioneer 501, it just jumps out of the ground and never looks back
would of been the third year , but it got hailed this year . i just find 233p too slow and temperamental , not like an invigor
the 5440 and 230 were the last good ones
and basf is way over priced compared to pioneer .
every area different but pioneer seems to excel here
we grew a lot of their 45h76 clearfield before , which was also a very good canola
every summer there is a thread on here about people questioning the slow progress of their 233p

Case how is the pod shatter on that variety though? 233P is a lazy temperamental crop for sure but the pod shatter is outstanding. last yr we swathed some down before the snow and picked it up this spring, no yield loss.

we always cut it , never seems to shell , not rated pod shatter though. i think its just below the magic number, furrow would know
they do have a new pod shatter hopped up 501 next year, i think
i just don't have the patience to watch cutworms and flea beatles knaw on that 233 cause its so slow
230 was such a good variety for here
