Our flax was seeded in the last days of May and first couple of days of June(over 110 days). We sprayed it with headline and it seems to keep it green(the straw anyway) a long time. We sprayed a liter of glyphosate a week ago and the straw is still not dry, grain tests about 8.7 with some uncured seeds in the sample. We intended to straight-cut it. And we haven't been burning flax straw for afew years now but it doesn't come out the back of the MAV chopper very fine with it being so green(unsure how the Bourgault 3320 will handle it--next year will be the first year with it for us). Everyone remember the wind horror stories earlier this year? I really don't want to take that chance. Moral of the story: Patience is a virtue. I've never been accused of being virtuous before!!
