Am I mad considering it........?
I last tried linseed(Spring) in 1998 I and swore at the time we wouldn't grow it again after attempting to cut it and practically wrecking a near new combine when it wrapped around everything possible. It got topped in the end.
However , with OSR becoming a difficult to grow on a shooting estate who don't like the use of bangers or anything else that could upset the pheasants and partridges I need to look at alternatives. The sales brochure from Premium Crops makes me think the characteristics of linseed must have changed dramatically......,,??!!
Can it be direct drilled on shallow stoney soils
Do rabbits graze it
Are pigeons a problem
Can a New Holland CR combine cut it without a major problem?.
Anything else to worry about?!
Thanks
