Pacific Coast Canola is building a canola crush facility in Warden, Washington.
The plant is designed to crush over 350,000 metric tonnes of canola seed annually, to produce
300,000,000 pounds of canola oil each year.
First crush January 2013.

projects with funded totaling $55,906. The remainder was dedicated to funding
four second year projects that were carryover funding obligations from FY2011 totaling $74,256.

Trans fats raise the LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol that increases your risk of coronary heart disease. That is why we use non-hydrogenated zero trans-fat oils for frying Idaho potatoes.

Conclusions
Most fatty acids were environmentally stable over different locations.
Linolenic acid showed significant Genotype x Environment interactions.
No difference between early and late plantings in fatty acid profile.
HOLL’s and LLIN’s with good seed yield and fatty acid profiles were identified.
All lines will be re-tested in 2013.

Investigating the Timing of Forced Lodging on Yield and Quality of
Winter Canola
![Page 24: 2013 Research Update](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051518/568c46ce1a28ab49168b52a5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Background
• The preferred method of harvesting winter canola in eastern Oregon is forced lodging “pushing” followed by dry down and combining
• Canadian work suggests that pushing can be done as early as the end of flower drop, if this is possible winter canola harvest could be done up to two weeks earlier
![Page 25: 2013 Research Update](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051518/568c46ce1a28ab49168b52a5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Treatments1. Push @ end of flower drop (early) 71-72
2. Push @ between 50-75 (mid)
3. Push @ first brown seed (1st brown) 80
4. Swath @ 15 % brown seed (swath) 82

Conclusions• Pushing early did not hasten harvest
delayed combining.• Early pushing and swathing reduced
yields compared to pushing at Mid and 1st brown seed.
• Seed size increased with later “pushing” and swathing.
• Oil content increased with later “pushing” and swathing.

Recommendations
Window for “pushing is 50-75% pods @ full size to 1st brown 75 to 82

This study has already generated great interest from the farming community. Early planting winter canola will offer wheat-fallow growers a much needed alternative crop in their rotation which will reduce effects of mono-culture cropping, diversify farm products and allow more profitable and sustainable farm practices. This group has built a long standing relationship with canola growers in our region and growers will likely be willing to adopt ideas that arise from this research.

PROBLEM TO BE PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSEDADDRESSED
•The effects of canola residue on soil quality are unknown.•Canola residue breaks down faster than wheat, and enough residue must be present to protect soil from wind erosion.•There is a need to characterize crop cultivar decomposition to aid growers in variety selection for conservation farming systems.

Methods:Methods: Soil QualitySoil Quality
• Evaluate effect of canola on soil quality.– Winter wheat-canola rotation studies.
• Lind and Davenport, WA.– Soil quality analyses will include:
• Bulk density, soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic C and N, aggregate stability.
• Microbial biomass, respiration, β-glucosidase and dehydrogenase enzyme activity, microbial community structure through phospholipid fatty acid methyl esters (PLFA).

SOIL QUALITYSOIL QUALITY• Except for bulk density, soil quality indicators
responded to canola in rotation. • Enzyme assays more sensitive than soil organic
carbon or microbial communities.• Canola increased soil enzyme activity and
decreased soil C.• Effects on microbial community and C substrate
utilization were small and inconsistent. • Long-term studies are needed to determine benefits
of canola in rotation.

Canola residue Canola residue characterizationcharacterization
• Winter canola residue is lower in NDF, ADF, ADL and C/N than spring canola.
• Canola residue traits differ with location.• Canola cultivars differ in their fiber characteristics.• Further study is needed to confirm differences.• NIRS was able to predict canola residue
characteristics.• Decomposition studies are ongoing.
