So does 98 shell like that? Mine is close, but decided to wait today, and possibly tomorrow to start cutting. Seemed like the main stem pods might want to shell if I wait too long? Just seemed to open easier than the pioneer varieties.

Bayer got serious with the neighbor . Going back 3 years lawyer contacting him tomorrow. Someone sent an email to Bayer.

Will never grow truflex 99 again shelled
Worse than rhe regular canola not pod
Shatter resistant. Had 2 crops so was
Waiting what a mistake I made.

Want to thank you for this tidbit of info. I went and checked mine closer, and it seems the bottom pods on main stem were close to popping, but the rest of the plant was fine. It is on a 700 acre piece, so haven’t finished cutting it yet, but definitely shells easier than other varieties. Seems you have to cut with about 20-30% colour change as opposed to 50-70% on other varieties.

7345 I think was the variety that was like that too. You wanted to cut on the green side or the top pods shelled bad.
