Spring Linseed – The Alternative Break Crop Harvesting Linseed is “An Absolute Breeze” ** When asked ‘How would you describe your experience of cutting your Linseed crop in 2017?’

9 out of 10 Linseed growers said it was ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’.

By far the most frequent advice given by those growers was to ‘Use a new knife on the combine’ and to ‘Pick a good day and be patient’.
