Progress !

The Canola at Norquay had a good summer and now it is ready for a trip !  It will take a trip through Rock's combine getting it to come out of its shell and into the hopper of the combine and then a truck and then a grain bin at home or a nice longer ride to an elevator !.  Sometimes it even goes directly to a Canola Crushing Plant where it gets all the oil squished out of it ( usually about 43% of that little seed is oil ! )   the oil goes to so many uses and the meal ( the part of the seed that is left after being crushed goes most often to animal or poultry feed rations....  Here's Rocks combine doing its part ... one seed at a time ,,, row by row ... adding up to a really big deal !    Yield was tremendous on this field going about 58 bushels per acre !   Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice !
