High-moisture canola: On-farm experiences

Canola Watch prefers to base its information on scientific research, but we don’t have a lot of information on these 2018 experiences: drying and storing very high-moisture crop, handling high-green canola. This survey is designed to collect on-farm experiences that we can share with readers. Agronomists and retails can provide answers based on their clients' experiences. We will not use any names.

1.What is the highest moisture canola you’ve ever harvested?

Always 10% or less

Up to 12.5% (tough but not damp)

12.5%-15%

More than 15% but less than 18%

Over 18%

If over 18%, how high?

2.How do you dry and store high-moisture canola?

3.What were the challenges with handling high-moisture canola?

4.For canola, what is the highest moisture content you would consider harvesting and why?

5.What is your conditioning/drying system? (Fan size, fan type, bin size, energy source, etc.)

6.How would you improve your conditioning/drying system to handle conditions like 2018?

7.What is the highest green count you’ve ever harvested?

Always less than 2% (No.1)

2% to 6% (No.2)

6% to 20% (No.3)

If more than 20%, what was the percentage?
