Kessel Wins Fifth Western Canadian Flax Championship
Albert Kessel, a Valley Centre district farmer, was presented the western Canadian flax championship for the fifth time at Brandon after entering an 18-pound Raja flax sample grown on a half-acre Elite plot on his South Biggar farm. The sample, sown in double rows 30 inches apart, also won at the Toronto Royal last fall, confirming Kessel as a leading exhibitor at the Royal Winter Fair, the International Fair in Chicago, and Brandon's winter show. He plans to enter Bettes barley and his own hybrid flax at the World Seed Fair in Moscow this fall. He notes the flax’s unusually large pod and acknowledges luck in producing the big flax through selection.
