Options For Seeding Canola In Wet Conditions

May 16, 2017
 
For some farmers in some southern parts of Western Canada, seeding is starting to wrap up.
 
But others are still have the challenge of getting last year’s crop off, all while trying to get this year’s crop in the ground.
 
We talk to Brittany Hennig, agronomy specialist for the Canola Council of Canada, about what options farmers have with all the wet conditions they have been facing.
 
“In Alberta, the report came close to a million acres that are still unharvested, and this was about a week ago,” notes Hennig.
 
She says that broadcast seeding is an option, but adds producers should wait it out for awhile before they start to panic and choose the less reliable option.
