    Alert: Sudden rise in heated canola

    Heated canola, the brown burned seeds, mean an immediate downgrade.

    Some canola growers have reported rising temperatures in their canola bins. Growers are encouraged to check all canola bins as soon as possible. Heating can start small and go unnoticed for days and perhaps weeks. Cooling the bin and stopping this early heating now can save a lot of money in lost grade and lost delivery options.

    Agronomy for November

    Sampling canola

    Pre-winter bin checks. This is the month to make sure stored canola is stable heading into winter. As outside temperatures drop below zero and stay there, canola growers want to make sure canola has cooled throughout the bin.

    Market options for high-green canola. When shopping around for buyers, make sure your sample represents the canola you’ll deliver. And keep looking. If one location won’t take your canola, another might.

    Nutrient planning for 2015. Soil sampling late in the fall will provide a close representation of nutrient levels at seeding next spring.

    Seed decisions. Results from the 2014 Canola Performance Trials are being checked and approved for posting at www.canolaperformancetrials.ca and in the CPT 2014 booklet.

    Time for November bin checks

    Bins Lanti

    This is the month to make sure stored canola is stable heading into winter. As outside temperatures drop below zero and stay there, canola growers want to make sure canola has cooled throughout the bin. This is also a good time to assess whether your storage measures up. Is it time for a heated air system, or a dryer? For more on storage considerations, we have archived videos on floors, fans, bag storage and other presentations from the Canola Council of Canada Storage Clinic in Brandon in 2012.

    Be safe when handling grain

    Grain walls can let go quickly. Pick at them from outside the bin with a long pole. Source: Safe Farms, Manitoba

    Please be careful when climbing grain bins to open hatches or probe them, when using grain handling equipment, and while transporting grain.

    And certainly try to avoid entering bins to help improve grain flow and break crusting. Manitoba’s Safe Farms program provides the following tips on how to control the hazards from its “Flowing Grain Entrapment” factsheet….

    What to do with high green canola

    Crush strips canola grade

    Step one is to know the green count. When shopping around for buyers, make sure your sample represents the canola you’ll deliver. Loads have been rejected because the canola delivered didn’t meet the specifications indicated in the original sample. The Canadian Grain Commission has tips on how to take a representative grain sample.

    Dan Orchard on N soil tests

    Dan Orchard

    Nitrogen is quite mobile in the soil, and amounts can fluctuate year to year and depth to depth. Although some growers have success by using removal rates and target yields when making N decisions, a soil sample can be a great indicator and a good way to ensure intended rates aren’t too high or too low.

    When determining how much nitrogen to apply, there are a couple of important factors growers should look at….

    Late soil sampling

    Fall soil sampling. Photo credit: John Heard, MAFRD

    Microbial processes in the soil slow down as temperatures cool. Therefore, sampling late in the fall will provide a close representation of nutrient levels at seeding next spring. Fall soil tests give growers time to process samples and get results and recommendations. That information can be used to develop a fertilizer program for this fall or next spring.

    How to reduce fall N fertilizer losses

    A risk with fall application of nitrogen fertilizer is that denitrification and leaching will remove a large percentage of the applied fertilizer before seeding starts in the spring. This is a legitimate risk, as losses compared to a time-of-seeding application can be 30-40% in moist and warm conditions. To reduce this risk…

    Seed: Quality standards and storage tips

    Germination test small

    The Canada Seeds Act requires that all certified seed meet minimum standards for germination on the day it’s sold. Whether seed is grown this year, last year or the year before that, certified No.1 canola must have 90% germination or better at the time of sale. Certified No.2 must have 80-89% germination. The seller is responsible to make sure seed complies with the grade on the tag.
