[AT] crops

[Larry D. Goss]

Sounds like it might be a cousin to rape.  Is it?  We saw miles and
miles of rape being grown all over France and Germany while traveling
there.

Hi John
There seems to be a long delay to some of my posts appearing but I will
try
and see when this one appears.
Linola is actually a crop unique to the Agricore grain company and can
only
be grown under contract to them as far as I know. If you have ever seen
flax
then you will know what linola crops look like. The seed of linola is a
different colour, golden, as opposed to the dark brown flax seeds.
Yes, its an edible oil used for certain types of margarine and cooking
oil.
I baled about 850 bales off that 20 acre patch that I swathed so it was
heavy.
It gave the old 730 Case a good bit of exercise running the baler for a
couple of afternoons. That manual steering sure gives the arms and
shoulders
a workout too.
 Not too much good seed in the heads of this crop due to the frost
damage..
Still I might try combining some of it just to see.
