Canola Yields!

[shtferbrains]

How many acres were poor last yr.
That is one thing I hadn't considered.
Will know much better in 2 wks

Walked into a canola field that is probably a week away from straight cutting, one thing I noticed after shelling out a hand full of pods and chewing the seeds is the lack of oil in your mouth, its more like chewing the meal after it's been rolled.
This crop might do 10 - 15 bu.

Made one up and down with the swather. Its worse than I even thought. Won’t make 10 bpa. Canola tastes like shit. Guess sell mine before they all take notice....

I really wish the white combine comes before I waste anymore time on this year....

Here is our earlier estimates

results are in, 40bpa. Bring on the dislikes.

Surprised, looked like 30bpa max. We had 5" of rain from May1 to Aug15 (start of swathing) which is a little over half of normal. So drought didn't hit hard here like in other places.

The round is on you!

We have a MAX number, any other bids? 33 whole farm average here...25-35 quite typical in area.

Good for you it's nice to hear good news stories.

I'm in haha. It's amazing how much the plants can produce when they look like they're really struggling. Seems we had 1/3rd of the plant mass compared to the 50-60bu crops in years past.

Other surprise was 35bu/ac out of a thin stand of 18-24" high faba beans. That's short a bushel or two of header loss, plants were so short the pods would burst open on the d****r and bounce seeds back out ahead of the knife.

I have to give credit to carryover subsoil moisture from the excess of last year. Doubt we'd have the same yields next year with an identical weather pattern.

Well, canola close to home averaged 28. Further away it got hailed on late July. It made 10. So close to home was 70% of average and farther away was 25%. Did I mention further away was a fancy new variety that can’t take stress compared to the older variety I grow? I’ve seen it worse but never had this much invested like today. Lucky we have decent prices for the time being. I wonder how black fallow fared if that still exists.
