Basf is the worst around here by a country mile

Only reason we seed invigor is mostly for the pod shatter trait. They seem to be better than other varieties at that, but I havent done any testing either. Maybe the other varieties have caught up.

My rep was talking some Canterra 4000 variety has better seed size and vigour.

Yes caught up and passed it. Dekalb very good. PLUS the roundup kills, NOT JUST burns tops off.
No reason for Invigor at all.

There are a couple reasons I like Liberty Link canola.

While no doubt Liberty is a desiccant but it does reduce my use of glyphosate.

You can spray LL canola with glyphosate and straight cut it.

If those years that are dry early with late rains and you get volunteer canola in your wheat you can do a glyphosate pre-harvest and you don’t have green canola in your wheat.

In the past I had green seed issues with Dekalb varieties, never had that issue with Liberty link.

I do think RR varieties have closed the yield gap though.

I have learned most from simply doing , and sharing info with other farmers . Still learn more everyday and pass on as much as I can to the next generation now my nephew. None of this is taught in ag school or from a book . Simply boots on the ground and watching and listening what others do right and wrong .
Every year has its challenges. We were sitting good last year about this time then the taps turned off completely. Mother Nature still rules the roost

Furrow do you think there will be a yield drag with 15 inch spacing on cereal crops? I do think the new seedmaster would be a fantastic canola drill but do you think there is an advantage over the traditional 12 inch seedmaster?

Yup absolutely too wide in my opinion. But it was here , they wanted to try it and we were willing on 40 ac .
But here is the kicker , Dutch is working on a paired row tip for that SR drill . So then in a year or two it may well be feasible.
Could not pass up the opportunity to try on both wheat and canola.
You never stop learning or passing on info , when you do it’s time to call RB

Or if you live in a fantasy land were you average 50 bus canola, never have frost issues , never have flea beetles, farming is easy and you live in a very closed world .
But that’s not a reality for 80 to 90 % of Western Canada

Plus for many reasons, we wanted to try side by side with Horsch planter
It was a 2 for 1 deal so we made time
Curiosity more than anything

Furrow, you're the only guy on here posting trials. My hats off to you. Keep the information coming, us small time guys really appreciate it. Thanks.

The one advantage of the Seedmaster would be being able to apply all the fertilizer and seed in one pass. The Horsch requires a separate pass for the majority of the fertilizer, correct?
As I said I do think the new seedmaster is an interesting machine.

Yes that is a big disadvantage on the Horsch and a huge plus for the SM

Always on my mind! LMAO!

Corn 🌽 plots , 14 varieties there. 7 early and 7 mid to late maturity.




Soybeans, just 2 early varieties
