Do to the lack of posting being done that would tell me that everyone is either getting sick of you asking this all the time or is not worried about it. I would say that canola will be the crop of the future but you got to have buyers in the south first which they are trying to establish asap.

Hard to call anything the "crop of the future" when it is already here now.

Well, over the past few years I have planted several pliers and hammers so I think I can honestly say, no better than they grew, they won't be the crop of the future. As for as "outyielding corn". let's venue another course. Of course corn will yield high. Of course, you need to pump enormous amounts of water and nitrogen to it to pull this off. lets start to think on a conservative scale more. Nitrogen prices are through the roof and are not slowing down. Energy costs are increasingly rising so whether your irrigation is on electricity or a gas or diesel or natural gas engine is running it there are more inputs. Water in the midwest "here" has almost more value than an oil well. With that said there is increasingly struggles with states over water rights. I'm speaking mainly now of the ogalla aquifer. In states that have high rainfall, then there is an issue of what to do with the extra rainfall and the extra costs of tiling land comes in. What would happen if we could make a drought resistant corn that would do "well" under avg water and avg nitrogen conditions and save on the input costs. VS. Pump the ground full of water and nitrogen and brag how big the yield was at the coffee shop while all the time the only thing happeing is shuffling dollars. Can corn do thatIJ Maybe the clearer question that needs answered, can Producers do thatIJ
