| No, but growers are few. Current price is over $13.85/bushel for Canola. Oils, Butter replacement, Biodiesel are products of. |

I was thinking about canola as double crop with beans… Over winter them, harvest them late May/ early June and plant short season beans right behind the combine. Not that I don’t farm but my dad does. Problem with canola here is we don’t know of any elevators that take it… I do think it would help with diseases and bugs though. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

CAnadian Oil Low Acid, specialized hybrid of rapeseed. Heavy on the CAnadian, they grow it up there by the county. If they can make a go of it, good for them, truly. My point was, there are few growers around because there has to be a market and logistics and maintain a price that pays. Once “everyone” does it it will be the same as everything else. Black beans was that magical crop around here a few years ago. Canola was talked about and came and went quickly. Same for sunflowers. Reminds me of ‘jay’ and his sugar beet comment a while back. “You’d think it would be big business”. Guess what, it’s already as big as it needs to be! Good luck to them. |

When spoke with Niece’s hubby and his Mom was added discussion of places like Loesch Farms where I grew up, long gone. They raised fruits and veges not row crops and not of garden size but massive acreage. Had a sales shed the size of most livestock open auction buildings. They had locals by the car loads and sold most every raised product they produced, bigger clients as local grocers received truck loads. All the ground they used for this is now row cropped, kids decided was too much work to raise so much stuff. They made good money and now the kids whine need more subsidy. Used to be diversity, some how that went in the trash. |
