Judging by conversations with farmers across the prairies, social media, and conferences, 2016 is the year of straight-cut canola. Not long ago, canola straight-cutting was a fringe activity but it appears to be going mainstream. Increase in canola straight-cutting is due in part to tailored hybrids, growers learning from each other, and a focus on lower operating costs.
The #selltheswather hashtag on Twitter has been quite active with some great retro swather pictures and growers legitimately moving to straight cutting across their farms.
And you could WIN a Super GuideTM Tracker fishing boat!
