Canola producers can lose up to five bushels per acre – perhaps even more – if the combine isn’t adjusted properly. Here are tips to measure combine losses and make adjustment to limit those losses, putting more canola in the bin and reducing the volunteer canola seedbank in your fields…

While doing harvest disease scouting, why not do a plant count at the same time? Compare final plant populations for each canola crops to its days to maturity, evenness, harvestability and yield to determine your favourite plant density this year…

Canola fields swathed at 60% seed colour change (SCC) on the main stem can yield 8% more than fields swathed at 30% SCC. Run yield and profit scenarios for your own canola…

Clear patches of canola plants that are yellowing prematurely could be diseased. These are obvious places to start a pre-harvest disease survey. Clubroot continues to spread into new areas, so this disease is one possible cause – even in fields with a clubroot-resistant variety. In addition to the obvious patches, check a few random areas in the better producing parts…

If the priority is getting the crop in the bin (not maximum yield), swathed canola can be ready to combine earlier than standing canola...but swathing early does not necessarily mean combining early…

Default to waiting. Don’t make a snap decision to swath. Before taking any harvest action, start with this sequence…
