Canola Yield with 3” of rain or less?

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.

Most of us guys who have seen 0 to 15% of normal yields live in an area that has probably never lost a crop from fighting excess rain all year. I would think that excess rain resulting in a crop disaster would be much, much worse that a severe drought, unless you are a cattle/sheep guy. Usually grass around for feed when its wet.

Any disaster that hurts ones financials and adds stress is a problem.

People who have lived through the droughts and know how helpless you feel when the crop can’t make anything. That desperate longing for clouds, heavy black dumpers and then you hear guys cursing the rain because they are getting flooded out. . Next year surely will be better than this dry oven. 👍
