1999-2001 Effect of Seeding Date on Canola Yields as Reported by Farmers

The information in the attached charts shows three years of data (1999-2001), so farmers can review seeding date performance under varying weather conditions. The actual weekly frequency of seeding is shown for each crop, and producers can see the "normal" date as well as how many manage to seed early. Management and environmental influences have not been standardized in the data, so caution is advised when interpreting the graphs.
