The article is behind a paywall. But the picture description that was available is referring to double crop canola in Tennessee and kentucky. After soy or cotton.
Average daily highs in Jackson Tennessee in August or 32°. In September 29°.
Sounds like perfect conditions for canola to be flowering in.

Every spring the market gets excited about Frost in the wheat belt.
Which almost always end up being much Ado about nothing, given winter weeks Frost tolerance.
I wonder if canola will be as forgiving? Rhetorical question

The only reason they would be increasing canola acres is to fill that market. If that market doesn't materialize, I doubt that the acres will happen.

I have a hard time believing this.
Western Canada has some of the most experienced canola growers in the world , in a relatively cool season climate. And it’s is a struggle more times than not
Just can’t see novice growers in a non cool season climate remotely have success with canola unless it’s winter canola
just my thoughts

Seems different parts of the USA have played around with canola for years but it isn’t on their radar like corn beans or wheat. Winter stuff maybe but spring I’m doubtful. Remember guys talking online from northern states and their yields stated were abysmal compared to ours.

With the pod seal varieties farmers down there they could use existing equipment. Most don't know what a swather is and some young pups up here don't either. Help break up rotation to control disease problems . U.S. guys likely wonder how we grow soybeans up here in the snow banks .
