Northern Canola Growers Association Executive Director Barry Coleman is reporting good yields across most of North Dakota. “A few areas in the southwest where they ran short of moisture in some limited areas, yields are down below 2,000 pounds; most of the yields are between 2,200 and 2,600 pounds.” Lower yields were also seen in the Towner County area in north-central North Dakota. A much better scenario is being seen in the Bismarck area. “Here in Burleigh County, a lot of growers had really good success with canola, 2,400 to 3,000 pound yields.” With harvest continuing, Coleman estimates yields to average in the 1,900 to 2,000 pound range statewide.
