Straight Cut Harvest Method Being Used for Winter Canola in Cotton County- Check Out These Pictures

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 6:20:15 CDT

Straight Cut Harvest Method Being Used for Winter Canola in Cotton County- Check Out These Pictures Winter Canola Harvest continues in southwestern Oklahoma- and our thanks to Jimmy Kinder of Walters for some tremendous pictures of his dryland Canola that is in Cotton County- just west of Walters. They have elected to harvest the Canola seen here with a straight cut. That means they are not pushing or swathing- but taking a combine and cutting it in one pass across the field. There has been concern about shattering in previous years using this method- so we will be interested in hearing from him on how much shattering actually occurs in his fields.



Jimmy Kinder says they are just starting- so no actual yields as of yet- he is expecting a 1000 to 1500 pounds per acre.
