S Oats or S Linseed

Adeptandy · Mar 24, 2021

Between the devil and the deep, have Oats and Linseed to drill, but a field of OSR that was destined to be sprayed off has got to the stage its now worth keeping. So need to cut one of the crops areas.
As I've grown neither in the past its a coin toss unless the collective wisdom of TFF can guide me to a better choice

Massey combine.
Linseed

Definition of masochist.

No longer a MF combine, possibly a rotary Class

Wow. You'll age half as quick now.

I grow spring oats and linseed. Prefer oats but neither tricky.

Linseed

Only because I have Oats and don’t want the market swamped

The following crop might be a consideration.

It would be unusual to be anything other than wheat, but you're right about what that could mean for drilling date and the window for cultivations if it's heavy land.

Its not heavy and will be DD wheat in both instances.

Linseed then.

At worst, you can sort linseed with a mower and some swan vestas. Flat oats DD into is going to be pure gash.

Sound advice nonetheless

I thought a mighty Lexion would do anything, will I be disappointed its not a MF

Possibly!!!

Claas rotaries and linseed don’t always mix well

Narrow body models especially

I'm growing both. Neither will make me rich. Next years wheat will be better after the linseed though, particularly if DD.

Tbh both crops can be turned from ace money to total tits-up. But dd into oats? No thanks.

Wheat doesn't seem to thrive in a lot of oat trash..
