Canola

Much thanks to Tom Chastain and OSU for a rousing seminar on winter Canola as a rotation crop in grass seed land. Seems as though it should fit the Williamette Valley rather well.

The seminar was well attended. Several speakers talked about the mechanism for turning seeds into oil - something dr. lenny did not really grok.
The local poor mans crop here is Scotch Broom - a notorious 'noxious weed' that 'must' be eradicated. The local rich mans crop might work as well.
