Canola Yield with 3” of rain or less?

[Stormin]

same here
guy west arb said 15-20, but a lot dryer
how far are you from us ?

15-20 last year, except it was a flood and most drown out. I'll take the dry year. It'll be much easier to harvest...I hope.

3 inches of rain? Are you talking just this year or the last 2?
Combined?

This year only. Last year we were drowned out and averaged out to 12bu.

Big swaths.
Pods small like Turdo's Brain..

That is a real pretty swath.👍 I’m glad I don’t have any canola along pavement this year…………

That’s Canola, looks pretty good for this year. How anything survived is a miracle. Good farmrs out there👍✅

12 isn’t bad, after four years of drought you don’t get anything, 0, like a big goose egg.

I know most of you hate Dekalb but this new one has potential.
4.5 inches of rain on it..

Did you put the same inputs in to get that 0 we did to save the 12? How about the battle to get it off?

Net result is crop insurance, one cost more to get.

It’s pretty hard to answer about the inputs because I don’t know what your inputs are.

Nobody’s grown 20 or 30 bushel crops on 3 inches of rain, sounds like your crop probably used 15 or 20 inches of moisture, pretty soon the water table drops and all you have is dust, dust doesn’t grow anything, even the earthworms are so far down they’ve forgot which way is up.

Anyway I was a half crop and half cow guy but it’s pretty much all cows around here, most of my land is better suited for cows.

Partners I’ve never seen a crop that looks that good down south let alone on a dry year, I’ve never been up north much and never in the summer, I’ll need a good road trip someday.

What was the seed date on that? Looks later and maybe ducked some of the heat dome during flowering especially that first 2 weeks in july.

I’m talking chemical and application as weed control becomes a real problem when it’s too wet and it’s just a pain fighting in the mud for that 12 bu and dealing with the mess after.

I don’t doubt we used that much moisture but we have heavier land thus the flooding issues. We always get 6-10ft of snow through winter and it stays and pools for an extended period in spring which helps quite a bit with a recharge so I’m not too concerned with usage this year.
