Canola TV - Planting Dates with Gene Neuens
Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:34:45 CDT
In this newest edition of Canola TV, we talk with Gene Neuens of Producers Cooperative Oil Mill about the planting window currently open for producers wanting to plant canola. Many farmers have seen rainfall over the past few days and it is causing a change in attitude across the state and making the window of opportunity to plant canola even better.
Neuens says crop insurance has played a key role in planting canola for the 2012 crop year. Many producers have already signed up for crop insurance on their canola fields, with almost two to three times more than in the past says Neuens. However, Neuens says they are still expecting around 200,000 acres of canola to be planted, which is more than double last year.
Neuens adds that farmers across the state are accepting the fact that canola is a good crop and it is viable and economically feasible for them to plant canola now.
