# 2016 in review: The long harvest | Canola Council of Canada

> The Canola Council of Canada's 2016 review describes a season with early growth and record yield potential, undermined by sclerotinia stem rot and a long, wet harvest delayed into November. Final figures show 20.0 million seeded acres, 19.2 million harvested, a record 42.3 bu/ac average yield and 18.4 million tonnes production.
