Project Code:

CARP SCDC 2010-1

Final Report:

July 2010

Summary:

In 2009, weather conditions during the cropping season delayed canola development and fall harvest into October and November. Delayed harvest and high moisture conditions raised concerns about storage, leading some producers and organizations in north-central Saskatchewan to test the potential value of storing canola in grain storage bags. Through project monitoring and testing, previously known recommendations were confirmed and more information was gathered about the use of grain storage bags.
