Proven Winter Canola Hybrids for North American Farmers

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

Chomping through Rubisco Seeds High Oleic Canola on a nice June evening in Kentucky. Double crop soybean planter close behind. Non GM high stability cooking oil locally grown, a win for farmers and consumers. Yield 3000+ :)
Oil yield 175 gal/ac, soybeans should add 60 gal more.

Overcast skies & a pleasant spring day at 4000+ feet elevation in IDAHO to visit with farmers and observe 100 bushel + commercial winter canola & new experimental hybrids. #rubiscoseeds #pnwcanola #universityofidaho

20 + Years of Commercial Production & Winter Canola Germplasm Evaluations in US Midsouth and Southeast. Vital for profitable and sustainable winter canola production. Lighter colored plots are ultra early hybrids for even earlier double cropping of cotton or soy. #rubiscoseeds

@McLean_Scott86 @JohnFluttert Looking forward to making your acquaintance John.
Best wishes in the new role.

@AdamJPfeffer @DCHighlander @megnmoran Nice looking crop Adam

@SmithDnksmitty Looking good Don

@alabamaED @talbotlabTSL Are fields being surveyed to quantify extent of this serious issue. We worked with significant acres of winter canola in those regions 10+ years ago and did not have such issues. However, unlike now, growers had diversity in genetics and local expertise in wm epidemiology.

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@SmithDnksmitty They certainly didn't hang about on getting going again Don.

@alabamaED @CropNetwork Hello Ed, Is your picture current from North AL?

Early November snowfall on Rubisco Seeds High Oleic Winter Canola in Kentucky. Excellent no till establishment following soybeans. #kinze, #highstabilityfryingoil

@megnmoran @Cribit_Seeds Nice pic Meghan, best of fortunes in the new career

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@JoshBoersen Lots of sunlight getting turned into sugars there! That one close up plant looks good anyway, growing point appears to be set low, enough leaves on there now though, growth much be slowing some right?

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@rhofford We use/ have used pretty much all the different options of seed applied insecticides. Fast growing w. canola in warm soils helps on one hand but also results in fast dilution of insecticides but really it is the heavy numbers of flea beetle coming off s.canola is the main problem

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@JDubbs1973 @rhofford Hi Jason, yes these CR res/tol backgrounds are being pursued.

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@rhofford Pretty good growth for that period. Winter canola fields are a prime target for flea beetles migrating from spring canola fields is what we observe further south. Takes robust management inc post emerge treatments. Keeping a close eye on RNAi tech you guys are working on

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@melochesy @page_er Both looking pretty good here. The ability of hybridized canola to take advantage of space never ceases to impress. Lateral roots often will have traveled from row to row on these wide rows at this time.

@JDubbs1973 @rhofford Hi Jason, Mercedes is from Rubisco Seeds, not Winfield.

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@bealsburg Sounds good Jesse, looking forward to hearing how that all turns out.

[Brian Caldbeck @RUBISCOSEEDS]

@AMillershaski Nice looking seedbed prepared, what was previous crop?
