Canola TV- Canola Crop for 2011 Update with Heath Sanders
Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:45:47 CDT
In the latest edition of Canola TV, Heath Sanders, Producers Cooperative Oil Mill, gave us an update on how the canola crop finished up for the 2011 crop year. Sanders says there was a good range of canola this year but some producers were disappointed with their crop, which he says was dependent on if there was an early rain in their area.
However, many producers like how the canola did compared to their wheat crop. Sanders says producers really need to take pencil to paper, sit down and run the numbers when comparing their wheat and canola crops.
Producers need to start preparing for the 2012 crop season, which Sanders predicts up to 150,000 to 200,000 acres of canola planted for 2012. To prepare for the next crop year, Sanders says producers need to keep their fields clean, work the ground if they can and prepare the seedbed, begin looking at crop insurance, and really prepare as if it is going to rain.
