Un cut linseed

[Oscar]

Had to deliver a load of hay about 18 miles from home in an area that I know and contract spray in but have nt been that way for 4 months and was very surprised to see a couple fields of un cut linseed and two more which were partly done ! Still standing but would think its a write off . Any other un cut combinables around the country ??
PS there is also 20 acs of straw in rows [ if you can call it that] in another direction I pass often !

would that be due to the fact it's rained every day since august

ITS not late for linseed yet.

Not had to do it for a very long time but I have ploughed straw in that was never baled.

Seen linseed being cut on way to Cheltenham New Year’s Day racing before. If it were mine I’d be tempted to try to salvage something

Presumably late linseed combines fairly easily and the straw chops ok?

We had some left late one year but it was scrap, growing in the pod.

I doubt it.....

No
The grain gums up the combine as the seed cspsules dont dry

 

[glasshouse]

I did have a plan to mow it, bale it and leave it in a shed till it dries and then put it through a combine somehow

Thought perhaps the straw rotted a bit and became less stringy..

I have twice baled straw in feb, still in swathe, headland got baled when combined, completely untouched and bone dry. 1 field, I had to get a contractor to finish, due to the brittleness of the straw, when baled, some of the bales collapsed, belt baler - fine.
