Our latest edition of CanolaTV finds Ron Hays talking with Heath Sanders of PCOM at the canola plots established in Oklahoma County by PCOM- just north of their new plant location. Recorded on Friday March 9- Sanders says that many canola fields in the state of Oklahoma never turned brown during the winter season- and that researchers suggest that winter canola that stays green over the winter season will often end up producing higher yields.
Sanders says that they planted varieties that have different maturities- and that the earliest canola in these fields are beginning to bolt and will be in bloom in a matter of just a few days. Statewide, Sanders believes that much of the canola planted this past fall is in fairly good condition, although he has concerns about the acres in west central and northwestern Oklahoma, where it remains in a minimal drought rating.
