[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 4294310, member: 166"] I gorw the spring variety because it does have good weed control opportunities (no blackgrass here to speak of but brome, wild oats and plenty of broad leafed weeds). We've also seen lots more red list bird species in there & get several nests of lapwings fledge successfully too. I've had better wheat after spring linseed than after osr. The preceeding crop was turnips so the later sowing suited my grazier. I'm not convinced spring linseed really suits the Claydon though the twin tine kit might help the row spacing. Beans seem to suit the drill better. I'll post up my gross margins for both spring beans & spring linseed once I've got everything in the shed. I have no plans to grow winter linseed - higher costs not necessarily offset by a higher yield & all the downsides of a winter crop. Grass weeds, winter kill, lodging risk, harvest clash early season though drilling fits in with the gap between the end of cover crop sowing & wheat. I never say never & the thought of growing winter linseed and harvesting it in early August is not entirely unpleasant as long as I can get it before my spring barley is ripe. Edit; The best person to ask about winter and spring linseed with a Claydon drill is [USER=315]@Daniel[/USER] [/QUOTE]
