Exactly. Good to see you are catching on. lol.

Flax is a very rewarding crop to grow, my favorite out of them all for some strange reason, think I enjoy the challenge of it

How do you handle the straw?

I used to bale some for the beekeepers for windbreak.

Flax acres went down a lot here when the processors stopped comming for the straw.

bunch it and burn! Works good as long as you start bunching the straw within a couple days after harvesting, or eles it doesn't bunch near as well and wants to roll out. This yr had a good buddy bale it and take them for their moo moos which made life easier.

yrs ago when we were flooding out, the rm bought a wack of bales and piled them along the ditches to stop the water from eroding the roads. Worked good in the short term but today we have still the flax bales which act as hotels for the larger rodent population that now stays extra cozy over the winter yrs.

we hitched our flax buncher to an old round baler that had the chamber/belts removed.. so really all it is,is a pickup with a very strong frame to hitch the buncher to.. works like a damn, doesn't matter how long the flax rows are on the ground.. u can travel as fast as u dare or as fast as the pickup allows...

I would be interested in selling mine.. last year was the last for flax
