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 2026, the Council's 29th year of CPC management, research trials include: 1) variety and systems comparison; 2) nitrogen rate and timing; 3) canola sulfur rate; 4) Insecticide seed treatment; and 5) canola fertilizer rate form trial.
The 2026 Field day was held Wednesday, July 8 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 2026 CPC was located on on Magnusson Farms, west of Roseau (from the intersection of Highways 310 and 89, travel 3 miles west, then continue north on 360th Avenue for 0.3 miles.).
