Nine out of 10 growers said harvesting their crop was ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’*
Here’s what real growers say...
“Absolute breeze, varieties have come a long way.”
“I grew Linseed years ago and it wrapped, newer varieties don’t wrap.”
“Easier to cut than Barley.” *
When originally grown as ‘flax’, Linseed stems were valued for their high fibre content. Great if you want to make linen - not so great if you want to harvest the crop for oil.
Working in conjunction with Premium Crops R&D, our plant-breeding partners select varieties for both oil yield and a lower fibre content.
The result of that hard work is the development of ‘EasyCut’ varieties which offer:
• Shorter stems with shorter fibres
• Up to 25% less fibre content
• Early maturity for a wider harvest window
A short stemmed, medium/early type that produced very high yields in 2022 trials.
First introduced in 2020, Empress is the next in a long line of successful ‘EasyCut’ varieties from Linea Semences.
