Flax Seed Testing Urged To Prevent Poor Yields
Dr. R H Porter of Iowa State College Seed Laboratory warns farmers to test and clean flax seed before planting. Flax carries high weed seed risk, germination varies from 60 to 90 percent, and seed treatment improves germination and stands. Delays allow late weeds to flourish, risking yield and quality. Cows will produce more milk.
