Flax Bull Market?

[tweety]

Maybe u don't know how to grow flax. Like putting it after canola. Best let the real farmers grow flax bigyentil.

Given those yields and prices, flax has the edge here.

[Guest]

anyone try heat with glyphos in flax. ? I bet that would help harvest ability ? wished I would of tried some . and we are finding out varieties make a huge diff . Sorel is a real wrapping bitch to combine

[biglentil]

Actually Twitty my Flax on canola exact same groceries as Durum stubble was by far the nicest yielded 30.

[checking]

Some farmers are all wrapped up in what experts say about it following canola. Results tell a different story, but don't do that rotation, or you'll be sorel!

Not allowed to use heat.Looks to me the guys that sprayed headline have the harvest problems.It never matured.

[BreadWinner]

We used headline on ours. It matured nice and even. We decicated 1/2 but combined it all the same week. Yield was 37 bus/ac on 400 acres.

[Guest]

we used priaxor on a half section , but we left a 70 ac test strip . harvesting no better on untreated , but we did lose 4-5 bpa without priaxor

Then why did you say 20?

If you can grow 60 bu wheat there is absolutely no reason you can't grow at least 30 bu flax.

Burnt it off with addition of authority. Twitty I had perfect germ on 12 inch paired row with 50lbs Sorel and independant openers, 80lbs N and some S15. Was looking very nice, but took drought hard and went backwards for 3 weeks. Was already blooming when we got 1st rain, sprayed headline. It never completely filled in on durum stubble but on Canola stubble a thick full canopy. Worst profitability out of all my crops and I would have been done harvest 2 weeks sooner without it. Probably won't grow it again u can have it Twitty.
