Young Farmers Get Help.

Young Farmers Pay Attention.
The grey beards figured it out over their lifetime.
The young producers get all the benefits.
Winter Canola is the Wonder Crop of the Great Plains and the PNW.

 Jack Brown’s staff provides valuable information on Canola.  

• A big increase in net dollars for present and following crops.  
• Water infiltration into the soil is 3 times faster with measurements made following Spring Canola on Winter Wheat as compared to Spring Wheat on Winter Wheat.
• In fact Winter Canola is even better news than Spring Canola, at 4 times faster water infiltration.
• Thus the solution is simple, better yields from Winter Canola become even better understood.
• Is it fumigation? Is it nitrate harvesting? Is it nematode habitat suppression?

The power of a Canola winter crop rotation is well known. 

Exactrix helps with SRS and injection of water in July and August.

• SRS is the next chapter. SRS, Seed Row Saturation, beats your expectations every time.
• Proven in the 80’s with Yielder Drills in steep Palouse slopes.  
• Seed Row Saturation allows expensive seed to be more efficient. Assures a stand every time.
• Allows future undiscovered crops to be planted with good results at low risk.

Dwarf Essex, Winter Rape, summer 1983 seeded with a Yielder Drill on paired row 5/15 (avg. 10 inch) and Seed Row Saturation at 150 gallons per acre.

• Weed Control, Fall applied Chemhoe, PPG-135, For control of winter annual grass and minor weakening effects of winter annual broadleaf species.
• Field wide average of 5,500 lbs. per acre with Yielder Paired Row placement. 
• Exposed Paired Rows showing following the harvest pass.
• Hybrid Winter Canola can outcompete Dwarf Essex Winter Rapeseed thanks to advanced plant breeding from Europe.  
• Open Pollinated varieties should always be compared.

Hybrid Canola or Open Pollinated, Winter Canola can be singulated for top yields at low cost on 30 inch rows.  

• Follows Soybeans in the world market.
• A world market, not a thin market, and regulated by the Winnipeg Canola Exchange, ICE, in North America.
• Hedge your bets with outstanding 38% to 45% oil content and the double lows.
• Totally functionally with TAPPS Thio-Sul raising yields 13 per cent when banded into the growing Winter Canola.
• Winter Canola is ideal for PNW and the Great Plains.   Followed under priority by Exactrix with engineering and chemistry updates weekly.
• Totally insurable at 30 inch row spacing in Variable Rate, Site Specific planting.  
• Higher yields follow, more moisture is stored every time.
• In 2017, 12 engineering and chemistry updates from Exactrix, KSU and now additional reports from Furrow Magazine.

A Land Grant priority to help stop or limit erosion on the Palouse and the Great Plains.

From the days of Dwarf Essex, which was considered thee tool to control erosion on steep Palouse hillsides and shallow soils.  

Plant Breeders hold the key, is there a better crop?
