Oklahoma State University, the Great Plains Canola Association, and the Oklahoma Oilseed Commission will host a regional winter canola meeting in Enid, OK on Aug 14.
Josh Bushong, OSU Extension Area Agronomist said the meeting is an an opportunity to learn about canola variety performance from the past year, as well as future varieties. Specialists from OSU Research and Extension will share their experiences working with the crop. He said production management topics such as pre- and in-season nitrogen applications, winter survival, and harvest management will be discussed.
Bushong notes that questions related to marketing the crop are still a critical topic. He adds that attendees will be able to hear from an experienced grower panel.
Bushong said that “with canola acres up the past couple of years, there’s a lot of interest in how the crop performed. Learning from experiences will set the stage for a strong start to the next growing season.”
The Aug. 14 meeting is in Enid, Oklahoma at the Chisholm Trail EXPO Center (111 W Purdue Ave). The meeting will begin at 10 am.
A meal will be sponsored by the Great Plains Canola Association and industry partners. To RSVP for the Enid meeting, please contact Ron Sholar at 405-780-0113 or jrsholar@aol.com, or Josh Bushong at 405-361-6941 or josh.bushong@okstate.edu.
