NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center Director Randy Mehloff says this year’s canola crop looks pretty good. “Probably about three weeks ago, we saw the canola start to flower and the rule of thumb here is the longer your canola flowers the better your chance for a higher yields.” The recent heat may be a problem. “Unfortunately, a lot of canola here was in full bloom so I’m suspecting that the hot weather might have shut down the flowering a little earlier than we thought.”
