Under the one time Nexera™ Canola Healthiest Profit Challenge™, just seed a recommended Nexera Canola hybrid beside your commodity canola hybrid, including InVigor®, Roundup Ready®, or Clearfield® hybrids, and if you don't make more money by growing Nexera Canola, we'll pay you the difference plus one additional bushel per acre of canola for your time … it's that simple.
