Canadian County Canola Averages Over 35 Bushels Per Acre- Take a Look at These Harvest Photos!

Canadian County Canola Averages Over 35 Bushels Per Acre- Take a Look at These Harvest Photos! Winter Canola Harvest continues- and the results being heard are tremendous. These pictures are courtesy of Brad Tipton, OSU Extension Ag Agent in Canadian County. Tipton is extremely excited, as is his farmers, about this crop that seems to offer a chance to not only clean up wheat fields dramatically from the cheat, wild oats and rye that have taken over many fields in central and southern Oklahoma.


Brad Tipton writes as an explanation for these photos- and in general what he has observed about the 2010 Winter Canola crop in his county:


"The 'tale of the tape' is in on the majority of winter canola yields around Canadian County. The best field so far has been 40.3 bu/ac while the lowest low yield reported was 29.6 bu/ac. Thus far, I have gotten reports on 650 acres of the county's canola production. Here are the yields growers have reported by bushel per acre on 650 acres of our production: 40.3 on 30 acres, 39.8 on 160 acres, 39.4 on 80 acres, 38.2 on 75 acres, 35.7 on 90 acres, 30 on 85 acres and 29.6 on 130 acres.

"Our yields reported by Canadian County growers averages out to a solid 36.2 bushels on these 650 acres reported into the office. The field with a 30 bu/ac average had some slight hail damage or it likely would have been in the mid-thirties. The five growers reporting their yields to me indicated they all intend to increase canola acreage on their farms this fall.

"Attached are images of the best no-till winter canola field I have ever observed. This field has been in no-till for four years and yielded 35.7 bushels per acre of canola following wheat in 2009. The grower indicated this field contained limited amounts of wheat residue because of the severe injury caused by freeze damage in April of 2009."
