Very well done video. Is 40Bu average? I thought most canola down that way was straight cut? Most still swath up here. There are a few good varietys that wont shatter. Most Canola around here will run around 50bu. Wish we had Winter Canola. Make spring somewhat easier.

Thank you for the comment. 40 bu is a good number and will vary both sides of this depending on moisture and temperatures during seed fill. There are an increasing number of guys who wish to straight cut although this continues to be countered by prevalence of older shatter prone genetics from many seed suppliers. Where are you located?
