Feeling Like You Missed The Boat On Canola? Jeff Scott Explains How To Avoid That

Feeling Like You Missed the Boat on Canola? Jeff Scott Explains How to Avoid That
 
Veteran canola farmer and president of the Great Plains Canola College and the US Canola Association, Jeff Scott of Pond Creek, Oklahoma says with this year’s crop doing so well in the shadow of some disappointing years past, some farmers are feeling like they’ve missed the boat.
 
“You have got to ride the ups and downs,” Scott said. “A lot of guys last fall bailed out and didn’t plant canola. They just said they couldn’t grow it anymore. Now you’re hearing “Gosh why didn’t I plant it; why didn’t you push me to plant it?’”
 
Scott says that’s exactly why he stresses for farmers to start a rotational system - and stick with it. He says that way, when a good year does come around, you can take advantage of it.
 
“You’re going to have ups and downs with it just like you are with your wheat, your cattle or anything that you grow,” Scott said, “but get an integrated system and stick with it.”
