Canola in the states is generally talked about in CWT (both yield and price). Canada is bushels or MT and price can be either or as well.

“invigor canola seed was $800+ a bag at one retailer this spring which would be $80/ac seed cost roughly when using an air seeder.

ABOUT 4.4 lbs per acre of tiny seed needed .....You never want to be that guy who loaded several hundred acres of canola seed in his drill and got the seed meter speed and settings wrong.... and make a round or two and find out your drill seeded it all out in the second round.....
I know of 17,000$ in seed wasted that way. (no, not me, not yet anyways)


I plant canola with a planter at 250k/ac. with pioneer canola that’s been anywhere from 2.4-4lbs/ac. I don’t know if I will plant any invigor just based on seed cost alone. I only put about 80ac worth in the planter at a time for that exact reason.
