Farmgate Market Prospects: Flax Market and Outlook with Jamie Woodrow, Rayglen

Seems like a unattractive crop option this year after listening to the rayglen trader.

We don't see flax being competitive with our other cropping options.

Does it still fit for others? Can it yield enough to make you some money?

On my farm flax and canola come out with the same margin

[mustardman]

Mostly due to lower fert bill and especially due to the $60 an acre Less for seed. Oh and flax doesn't get attacked by every bug and disease in the book. Can be a pain to harvest some years though

Little to no flax here. A couple diehards though that can do a good job of it. Tried it once myself but the cleavers made a mess of it.
