Canola the Retarded Sister of Soybeans!

[sewen]

How can they claim L150 has excellent
standabilty I had plants that were 4 1/2 feet tall
but when you walked into the field the crop was
half way between your ankle and knee. I guess
my L150 had excellent layability.

[jensend]

so everybody squeezed up rotations to create the perfect conditions for a disease outbreak, aster leafhoppers blew in from the south and it's the seed companies' fault. classic. who gets the blame for the humid summer - the liberals or ndp?

[fjlip]

Yes weather was the major influence in canola crop this year, however some varieties are total losers. Dekalb 7345 on adjoining quarters with 7375 and 5440 is half the crop, thin, flat on the ground.
All had same weather, fertilizer, weed free start.
Any one use Backtrack Investigations?

[hobbyfrmr]

Jensend, you are onto something here. The farmer fully aware bought the seed, fertilizer, planted it, did not spray enough for disease and/or weeds and now its someone else's fault! Next thing you know, crop insurance is going to "make" them combine it!
I think there will be a healthy payout from Agristability, that program the farmers were complaining about how the big investor neighbors are screwing. From the sounds of all the historic big canola yeilds, margins should be high and a payout will come. Everything will work out fine, and next year's canola seed will be purchased before the snow flies. I agree that new wheat market will help rotation, but farmers are addicted to canola.

[freewheat]

Hobby farmer I agree 100%. There should be
FANTASTIC margins if the yields of some of
these areas were what they were said to
have been. And crop insurance is also
there. They should also have healthy crop
insrance yield coverage. If they base
their year on anything more than their
coverage levels, I guess the seed
companies should sover the difference...

[crusher]

Canola has made lots of combine, land and drill payments....and will continue to do so in my area. Wheat, not so much. See what the future holds.

Saskatchewan, the retarded sister in
Canada LOL!

[SASKFARMER3]

Jensend and hobby your both Fricking nuts. What
I am saying is the new varieties that we pay a
fortune for are good for shit. We have been at the
canola game for almost 50 years and the new
super duper varieties are shit. Promis the world
and leave farmers with shit. Again this notion
nothing was done by the farmer to control disease
etc. what a crock of shit. Most in this area gave
every crop every Fricking thing out their and the
dog fu$&er who did nothing in some cases is
getting a better crop. Yea even my ESSO agent
has a 7 and that half had every thing imaginable.
So back to the topic seed companies took a crop
jacked seed price for profit for them and bred a
retard.

[SASKFARMER3]

Ment to say my esso agent didn't miss a Fricking
thing and his l150 is a twisted mess. Also WD40
the retarded sister of confederation is Quebec!
Alberta is just the town pump. Havea great
Fricking day!

[jensend]

and as long as you want to chase the latest unproven technology you might make the odd bad buy. seems like everyone's to blame but your choices. who knows, maybe last year you were singing the praises of the same variety. the csr's with their beer and wisdom have you convinced there's nothing that can't be beat by the chemical shed. every management plan has vulnerabilities and this year proved that in spades. is anybody going to look at the varieties that came out five years ago and maybe did better this year? i doubt it because you might lose 3 or 4 per cent in yield.

[SASKFARMER3]

Explain why I'm now Swathing 5440 which is 4 to
five year old variety, yes seeded later but it
standing nice, virtually nothing for sclerotina aster
yellow min and by the way it's poded way better
plus the size of pods bigger, unless a hail storm
should kick L150 s ass by double. See again
explain why you just can't face facts not BS like
the CWB did with us on HRS. We're paying to
much for seed and disease control that's just not
cutting it. Or are you really a chemical rep just
snooping around. Most of the shit out their works
in the Canola dome.

SF3,

You are getting as happy as Burbert.

Has he been sharing his pills with you?

Cheers!

[sumdumguy]

So many decisions in ag today. Expensive
decisions.

We have no choice but to trust the information
provided by research material. It is just possible
that none of the scads of Ag Can inspectors is
asking for proof of claims and so the onus is on
the farmer to test it himself at his own expense.
Its great to have a site like this where our test
results are shared.

[Burbert]

Ag Can crap is goin by the boards anyways.
Ritz and Harpskie are downsizing gag,
makin us all each and ever one more
responsible fer our own destiny. Haven't
ya heared Angristablity is changin fer the
worse, gobermont inspections are a ting of
the past. After all we now got our level
fields to marketeer as we please.
Whinning and snivellin don't get er done
any more. Heil Harper!

SF3,

For an industry with $10B income to growers... Canola has been a life saver for the vast majority of us.

RR Tech worked super for us this year... never have had cleaner Canola crops... only one 3/4le app in crop with some lontrel. We made sure the fields were totally clean on emergence with clean start... wow...no frost... great stands.

Cheers
