@JesseMeyerLMGP @canolacouncil Storage will be really important as alot of the green material will separate with the chaff and can cause heating in pockets.

[Shawn Senko @senkoccc]

@JesseMeyerLMGP @canolacouncil I see Jay has already posted our link to the article on this. At this time of year weather conditions will really impact how a harvest aid app works, it can still be beneficial in drying down flowers and other new growth.

[Shawn Senko @senkoccc]

If your looking to measure losses the canola calculator https://t.co/tFzR7sQJEs makes it easy, Just remember you will need a measuring device, a compact battery scale like this can be picked up at Canadian tire for $29.99. Any thing measuring in ml or cc also works.

[Canola Council of Canada @canolacouncil]

Canola seed losses before or during harvest can be caused by pod shatter or pod drop. Note the difference shown in our new illustration. You can also use our Combine Optimization tool to help reduce losses: https://t.co/0iGIVQ1jDi

@hugewalleye @WardCCC With the wind mixing the air the low areas might not see that cold air settling in. Frost damage is always hard to predict

@gustgd @CanolaGrowers @SaskCanola The work by Harker and Blackshaw show it best to leave it in the fall, as anything on the surface has a chance to degrade or be eaten by predators. Buried seeds may sit dormant and cause issues in subsequent years.

[Shawn Senko @senkoccc]

@hugewalleye @FarmRanger82 @WardCCC Also need to watch the pods if they are still green, if they begin to bleach after the frost they may be at risk of splitting open.

[Shawn Senko @senkoccc]

@hugewalleye @FarmRanger82 @WardCCC 30-40% still is above 20% moisture, so there is a chance of some green seed issues, it will depend on severity of the frost.
