Remember that winterkill is best rated as the winter canola crop begins to break dormancy and after the threat of further cold temperature loss has passed. Do not give up on a thinned stand too early as canola has a tremendous ability to compensate for stand loss!

Projects must focus on the on-farm, on-ranch or forest production of commodities and show reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission or carbon sequestration as a benefit. The project description specifically mentions cover crops, no-till and low-till among the projects favored for selection, but indicates they won’t be enough by themselves.
