I can remember when almost every farm had a gravel pit. However, I got to
SHOVEL the gravel into a home made dump trailer, which was so high, I could
not see into it.

Flax is one wiry and tough customer and the straw is nearly indestructible.
I can't ever say I have considered it hard on the soil though. I always
plant RR canola on flax stubble the following year and it turns out great.
This year's flax is looking like it will be a heavy crop standing tall and
thick. I didn't like driving through it but really needed to get to that
gravel pit.
