Field Day


Field Day 2023 will be held Wednesday, July 19 at Northern Resources Co-op.

The Council's Field Day offers growers a guided tour of the research trials involved in the Minnesota Canola Production Centre (CPC). Hosted by the CPC site agronomist, the tour features a comprehensive, in-depth look at the year's research trials. For 2022, the Council's 25th year of CPC management, research trials included: variety and systems comparison; seed shattering; micronuntrient fertility management; Roundup resistant weed control with an integrated soil and post emergence weed control systems; and evaluation of novel seed treatments for enhanced flea beetle control. .

Field day was held Wednesday, July 20 along with the always popular Canola Hackers Golf Scramble. The CPC tour began at 9:45 a.m. and was followed by a burger basket lunch at Oakcrest Golf Club. The Canola Hackers Golf Scramble began at 12:15.

The 2022 CPC was located on Magnusson Farms west of Roseau, MN.
