#63: A Canola Deep Dive: The Agronomy Behind the Margins

In this episode, Sean Nettleton is joined by Josh Messer to break down canola as an emerging and profitable alternative crop for growers outside its traditional regions. They dive into what makes canola unique agronomically—especially its non-mycorrhizal nature, early phosphorus demand, and heavy sulfur and potassium needs—and how those traits change fertility, rotation, and management decisions. The conversation blends practical field experience with deeper nutrient-cycling insights to help growers decide if canola fits their operation. Listen now.
