You guys got used to 50+ plus canola !!!
Forget how good you had it while rest of us in drought land struggled to break 20 for several years
Really turns a guy off a crop when you are losing big money per ac

Big canola country up there for sure always was jealous of the stands and how thick they looked
Using scic isn’t fun either. No money in that and now your premium is thru roof with less coverage
We doubled canola acres this spring as pulses just aren’t working out not that $12 canola does 1 big rain and they are all dead. Have to much disease in the soil now from poor rotation choices. Lentils durum lentils
Might have to think about barley

Is there any thoughts that Canola prices might increase with the new Canola plants being built and expanded?

Possibly reducing crush margins and passing more revenue back to farmers.

Some experts are saying that the China problem will drop prices significantly and are recommending farmers think twice about growing canola next year.

Bigger combines mean bigger headersView attachment 287223
Big headers are great when conditions are nice and dry, things come to a quick halt when it gets tough! Running a 50’ MD on this 10.9 and I was cursing it the other night in some soft white at 0.8 mph. But 4.8 mph this morn tho in tinder dry oats!

Can you even see the end of that fuggin thing from the cab?
At 61 feet in the dark and dust you'd never be able to see it, even with the 50's if you loose guidance for some reason it gets nearly impossible to operate efficiently at all

How long till they have to put cameras on the ends so you can see what’s happening over there?
