Field Day

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 2025, the Council's 28th year of CPC management, research trials include: 1) variety and systems comparison; 2) direct harvest vs swath/combine comparison of selected LL and RR varieties; 3) pre-harvest desiccation treatments for direct harvest; 4) pre-plant weed burn down treatments in no-till planting; 5) evaluation of current and novel insecticide seed treatments in canola; and 6) late-season flea beetle control and monitoring.

The 2025 Field day was held Wednesday, July 16 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 2025 CPC was located on Magnusson Farms, just across the road
to the west of Northern Resources Co-op (1504 Center St. West, Roseau, MN).
