We had two quarters of 345. One quarter was 60ish and the other 55. 233 this year seemed to yield the same. Lodged quite a bit more than 233. Big healthy looking plants all year and seemed to show more vigour. Will probably give it another chance next year. 233 will still make up for 90% of the canola for us.

Has any farmers tried L340 or L357 this year. L357 is suppose to be a replacement for L252. Also what are your thoughts on Nexera canola or Cargill S VICTORY canola series. I have tried them all through out over 20 years of farming and have gone back to commodity canola because of higher yields and more freedom of marketing and I am in control of delivery periods. When I was younger I thought I was ahead but I slowly realized the small premiums offered or changes or untimely delivery windows are not increasing cash flow. Has any farmers been overwhelmingly happy with special canola contracts and if you have what speciality canola is your favorite.

Here is probably as good a place to post canola trial results as any. Did not have L345PC in this one, last field is split so hopefully get a good comparison next to L233P there. Trial was a full mile strip, I did half of it yesterday(several small showers so didn't want to start other side if I couldn't finish). Full cut with 40' head into standing crop. All varieties has some pod drop over the hills, PV660 was leaned over pretty good and other two were leaned in patches. Dekalb 82SC 69.5bpa Proven PV660 62.1bpa Invigor L233P 73.6bpa Took sample and will do moisture and roll out for green maybe later today.
I also did a 120' sprayer pass of Carumba across this section of L233P canola at bolting. You could see it was standing perfect from a mile away. Probably a good 5bpa increase there and much easier to harvest.

Mind telling us what that 120' sprayer pass consisted of Very nice yields SWMan. How much N is that requiring? I'm always a little gun shy of having canola go down with too much N.

Oops, must have got distracted there, I will edit the post but the sprayer pass was Carumba. This particular field got 150# of N applied right before seeding into corn stubble. One could argue that this field should have had some leftover N from the corn because it didn't hit it's yield target, although soil tests didn't indicate that. I have put as much as 200# of N on before, why is too much a concern?

Swman. When you put 200# of N on corn. Did you see a difference in yield?

Swman. When you put 200# of N on corn. Did you see a difference in yield? The first year I grew corn it was a heck of a crop, since then we haven't got enough rain to hit target yield. I would generally say a well fertilized crop handles stress of all sorts like drought/wet/etc, but I can't give you a specific number on what the last 50# of N did. I did cut back on N this year because of applying right before seeding and logistics of getting a crop in quick, and I am surprised at what we got out of it. Maybe I have been putting on extra in recent years...

Nothing wrong with building the nutrient land bank! I know of farmers who pay high land rent and strip the land clean of nutrients when they are done. Especially phosphate is important not to deplete or cut back on, at least nitrogen you can rescue a crop in season. I to believe a well fertilized crop can withstand stress on the crop.

Got my other trial off today. Two replications, half mile into standing crop. L233P 56.8bpa and 56.3bpa L345PC 50.4bpa and 49.7bpa
Both were leaned over fairly good, could not tell any difference in that regard. The field was split almost 50/50 between the two varieties and watching the yield monitor the L345PC never did hit the numbers of the L233P.
I know what I am booking for next year!

Thanks for the trial info! Would you say that was on a fairly average year, or did the L233P have an advantage because of a drier year?

Thanks for the trial info! Would you say that was on a fairly average year, or did the L233P have an advantage because of a drier year? You're welcome. Not sure what to say on the average year though. Field was unworked corn ground, drain tiled in early June, deep banded with N and protilled and seeded next day. 3.5" of rain total on season but went into year wet. So it was a dry year and would have benefited from some extra rain for sure. I didn't notice any real difference in flower timing or maturity either, so I doubt the late season dryness had a major factor in trial results. I was told L345PC is weaker on blackleg, that would be my concern because we have seen blackleg be an issue here before(most notably with L150).
