We've grown flax for years: we swath. The straw we chop or bale, done both.
If at all possible combine on a hot day, but always seed the stubble on a hot day.

A few years ago we switched to swathing our flax and haven't straight cut since. Swathing gives us the ability to chop the straw, even on irrigated fields.
With swathing we can usually combine the flax right after the wheat is off. Before we were waiting a month at times for the straw to dry
