  I should have added in my previous note,  some other info,  in regaurds to Canola in particular,  there are really 2 types here in NA.  Up north they plant a spring Canola.  If using a seed coated Neonic,  most of the time it gets close to full season protection. Reality is late in the plants life the pset don't hurt yields  enough to warrant control.
Further south,  such as OK and KS,  its winter Canola.  Planted actually right about now.  Seed germinates and makes a good root for spring emergence.  Those have litteraly no systemic pesticide left come spring,  and often get a foliar spray just before bloom of Warrior or Capture.  These can be a problem for pollinators, as in may cases there are "some blooms" showing already.


General information,  here stateside we have been light on canola production quite a bit due to no processing plants.  Several have cropped up lately including a new one in Louisville KY,  which has made canola a bit more attractive for Midwest farmers.  Of course the increase in supply has depressed the price from 13.00 a bushel in 2012,  to around 7  in 2015.
