Charlie, I guess it depends on whose farm what the yield is. I hear talk 
of 50 and 60 bushel per acre canola but with my methods I am well 
impressed when I see 40 bushel per acre.
I hear canola was always a good source for honeybees. Nowadays I guess 
some people get all hyper about canola being genetically modified 
(roundup ready) and might have some issues about it. I wonder how the 
bees like the flax flowers? Plenty of those around here this summer.
