Wheat, shelled corn and rice are the most popular grown cereal grains and rapeseed (canola) is the most popular grown oilseed in the world. Thorough literature surveys reveal that a large number of publications contain EMC/ERH data for these grains and oilseed. From these publications, experimental data points are extracted, forming data sub-sets suitable for evaluating the isotherm equations. ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are valuable products because of their involvement in several aspects of human health. Market demand for most PUFAs is growing continually and current sources are considered insufficient for satisfying this demand; alternative sources are actively sought after. Oilseed plants can be a potential source of PUFAs if they are appropriately gene engineered. Most o...

This study assesses the reported farm income crisis in Canada and uses farm financial data to illustrate the importance and impact that management skills and practices have on farm income and net worth. For grain and oilseed farms, large farms produce higher revenues per hectare and achieve economies of scale on operating expenses, interest and depreciation, making them significantly more profi...
