Winter Canola
Report from Abilene, Kansas, Talmadge area…Split fields comparing
with Winter Canola in rotation.
In drought
conditions. Very low rainfall in the growing season since October (
2 inches)….Winter Wheat yields jumped almost 135% to 145% in side by
side field strips with previous crop Winter Canola as compared to
soybean previous crop.
Winter Canola
leading the rotation allows the following winter wheat crop to
improve yields at least 10 bushels in the 38 bushel per acre range.
Most likely winter
wheat was able to harvest more moisture and nutrients with a
stronger root system. Winter Canola helped in the suppression of
nematodes and allowed more moisture to penetrate into the soils as
confirmed by the University of Idaho.
Yield data
upcoming at Colby, KS, Dec. 5, 2018.
Improving Agricultural Economics with a change in rotation.
Raising a crop that has demand.
In the United States,
Winter Wheat producers must overcome wind and water erosion in their
production areas.
About 90% of the erosion in the PNW is coming from Winter Wheat
Production.
Many producers just don’t understand where the problem is coming
from.
The plant breeders and engineers have found a solution.
It is often difficult to get a good stand. Moisture is always a
problem, too much or too little.
Is the Winter Wheat crop genetically prone to not compete in the
environment?
Is the Winter Wheat not vigorous enough to out compete the
elements?
Perennial wheat would really help.
A
poor stand and seeding very deep results in Wind Erosion at Hugoton,
KS.
This is the heart of the Great Plains Dust Bowl of the Dirty
Thirties.
The good topsoil is gone.

Deep seeding for moisture in
deep furrow tillage system.
A good waste of soil every time. This techniques goes back more than
100 plus
years.

Planted at 1
inch depth without water injection on a Chemfallow system at
Hugoton.
Seed Row Saturation or water injection will allow for 95% stands in
4 days at 90 degrees F planting temperatures.
New seed sensor technology
using a 10 eye sensor resolves the need for seed problem. Winter
Canola and sugar beets share similar problems requiring a special
memory based multi-sensory capable of
reading 180,000 population at less than 3% variation as reported by
Erron Frank of Kirk, Co.

The cover of the
cropland with winter canola will dead stop wind erosion in SW
Kansas. Winter Canola early and warm soil seeding date allows rapid
advancement of the crop.

Raising New
and Advanced Hybrid crops with no herbicide labels requires even
emergence to beat weeds.
This Seed Row Saturation system leverages the crop to germinate it
also works in Organic farming.
Sesame Seed
has a good future with SRS. Dale Bathurst at Abilene, Talmadge, KS.
11
An early June
planting of Sesame at Talmadge, Abilene, KS.
SRS in row at 40 gallons was barely adequate to produce this
marginal stand.
The recommended per acre rate is 50 to 65 gallons per acre on 30
inch spacing.
All plants
must emerge together. And it obvious the emergence was not quite
uniform at 65% of required flow rate.
12
Chemfallow
established Sesame with SRS. Emergence in 4 days at 65%.
A low end rate of 40 gpa shown.
For sure 50 to 65 gallons per acre
required.
Seed Row Saturation is required with soil temperatures above 70
degrees F.
Adequate water must be applied to have all plants emerge in 4 days.
A western phenomena of raising crops from the Missouri River to the
Pacific Northwest.
In western areas it may not rain for 50 days after planting in the
summer months.
Herbicides and growth regulators require even and uniform emergence.
Cotton is another crop that respond to SRS. Cost is about $6.50 per
acre.

The Germination Trigger.
How do get a No-till stand in Kansas Soybean production.
Seed Row
Saturation, Soybean Production. SRS reviewed at 20, 30, 40 and 50

14
Adequate
Machinery is required, 2,500 gallon trailer tank, and PD pumps with
a good manifold and delivery method. Exactrix SRS tubes help.
15
Simple
to set up, Looking Glass manifolds allow sectional control….application
at 1% CV is critical for new germination materials like ZnSO4 and
hydrogen peroxide.
16
Dual tubes required at 65 gallons per acre on 20 inch spacing. No
splashing on the planter is allowed with MGPA.
17
PD
pumps from Exactrix require less than 3 to 5 gallons per minute of
hydraulic flow. The hydraulic flow control valve is key to using
very little oil flow so the planter hydraulic circuits can work
properly.
Exactrix systems do not use
Pulse Width modulation, the Exactrix hydraulic system is the
standard of the industry Load Sense with Pressure Compensation
circuits. A power head valve is required to reduce oil flow to 3
gallons nominal per minute.
Exactrix uses four cylinder pumps that are usable on 30 to 50 foot
planters at maximum 50 gallons per minute.
The six cylinder pumps are useable on 40 to 80 foot planters at 70
gallons per minute and 108 gallons per minute.
18
Looking
Glass Manifolds handle high water flows and.
Allow sectional control. Line
filters can be installed but are not normally required. Large final
filters are not required so long as recommended stimulants, and
certain commercial fertilizers are used. The manifolds offer 1% CV
of application with visual indication of flow.

Dual tubes
required to make even and non-splashing delivery.

Abilene. “
He was a rank of captain for 12 years due to the Great Depression.
He was well prepared by General Fox, Pershing and McArthur.
He rose to highest rank due to his Operation Torch outstanding
leadership where he defeated Rommel’s Africa Corp.
Operation Overlord was recognized as his greatest achievement and
resultant highest regards for the success of D-Day.
Rated in 2018 as our 5th greatest POTUS.
Military Life helps, 22 previous presidents had military careers of
which 9 were generals in the US Army.
In his class form West Point of 1915, 59 generals evolved. The 1915
class is “the class the stars fell on”.
