The Case for Flax

[farming101]

Basket case??



Sure doesn't look like more acres are needed this year but that is the forecast.

One of the reasons we cut flax out of our 2016 cropping plans....

The seed dealers round here say flax is hardly moving. Last year it yielded like crap, the price is not hot, and its looking dry. Im not growing it this year but instead locking the bins.

Can't even follow the very rules and regulations enacted to protect them! UPOV@its-finest. Crucify him....

So much for "reconstituted" breeders seed....

We will plant flax again....from seed grown in the height of the triffid crisis, untested. If he didn't care why should I?

As the new rules pass down to making commercial growers liable, do you think the system is capable of protecting farmers from misrepresentation as your grain moves forward, leaving you liable for all costs?

The omega 3 hype has been replaced by the gluten free hype. Flax hurt, wheat hurt all in one fell swoop.
