In our newest edition of Canola TV, Heath Sanders with PCOM joins us as we talk with him about the 2012 Canola Plots that are in the ground and growing across western Oklahoma. Sanders tells us that a total of 11 plots have been planted by OSU extension with the help of a grant by the Oklahoma Oilseed Commission.
Sanders tells us on Canola TV that "for the most part, the stands are there" and that the plots will be a great resource this spring for farmers to see various varieties and cropping practices for winter canola here in the southern plains. Int he 2012 plots, there are a total of 8 RoundUp Ready varieties- and a boron/sulfur study as a part of the replications of those varieties.
Sanders says that we continue the learning process of how to grow canola in the southern great plains- and each growing season, we seem to get just a little better.
