Manitoba agriculture expert John Rogalsky explains rapeseed shatters readily when ripe. Swathing should start at 20 to 25 percent brown seed, with green pods predominating, and high humidity to curb losses if overripe.

Fall rye fertility mirrors cereals. nitrogen with seed should not exceed 40 pounds per acre, with 23-23-09 providing about 40 pounds nitrogen and phosphate. A soil test is essential. consult local agricultural representative.
