Dave Mazier farms with his wife Cathy just north of Brandon, Manitoba. He is in the elevator where I work quite often and has taken an interest in Kernels ! This year he offered to be one of our real farmers by seeding 10 acres of Round up Ready Canola . It is a hybrid seed... Making it one of the higher yielding varieties. It is called VT 500... It has excellent lodging resistance. That doesn't mean it likes to stay away from hotels... it means it won't lay flat on the ground unless you drive over it ! It is also R to Blackleg. Blackleg could be a pirate but in this case it is a disease that robs health and yield from Canola plants.
He actually got it seeded May 26. It has had lot's of rain on it since but I am sure it will survive and thrive... Dave's farm name is Good Earth Farms ! How can we go wrong ! Stay tuned .
