Farmers are always working to increase their production, and now canola producers have a new challenge: the Canola 100 Agri-Prize contest, which gets underway this year.
Rob Saik from Agri-Trend says it's a big competition encouraging producers to push their yield. Saik says the competition calls on dryland farmers to produce a verified average of 100 bushels per acre on 50 acres of continuously seeded canola.
"The first guy to document that yield, 100 bushels per acre or more, will walk away with a set of John Deere equipment," he says. "So the winner will talk away with a John Deere tractor, air-seeder, high-clearance sprayer, swather and combine for use for a season."
