Name the Peril - Talk About Yield Loss

[ajl]

Thought this was going to be a yield peril of the day thread. That way we can go through all 5000 different ways we can lose yield farming here in the asshole of creation. Have lost canola due to gophers. They just eat everything above ground at night. Tried peas and canola intercrop one year: gophers (Richardson ground squirrels) ate all the canola next to their burrows but left the peas alone.
