The canola harvest in North Dakota is in full swing with continued reports of excellent yields. Canola growers have reported good canola yields in North Dakota, with typical results of 2,200-2,600 pounds per acre with some reports as high as 3,000. Canola quality is not an issue as more than 90 percent of the crop is rated No. 1 canola. There have been some reports of late season feeding by several insect pests, but those reports have been very limited.

It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
