Premium Cups For Flax At Colorado Fair
Farmers in Weld county and surrounding areas champion flax growing with a state fair premium for top exhibit and two silver cups worth about 50 dollars each awarded by L T Minehart of the Colorado Flax Development Bureau for best sheaf and best half bushel. Weld county leads in flax acreage near 5000 acres with strong dryland yields. The flax seed oil may spawn a local milling effort, and the crop this year could bring Colorado farmers about 300000 dollars, with Weld county likely to reap a major share. Farmers are moving toward specialized flax production as the favorable season continues.
