Production Requirements Soil Types: Sandy and loam soils. Soils prone to crusting may drastically reduce germination Soil pH: 4.8–8.5 Recommended Rotational Crops: Corn, cereal crops Minimum Soil Temperature: 5°C–10°C Optimum Air Temperature: Prefers a temperate to semi-arid climate. Temperatures above 35°C may cause plant dormancy or pollen sterility Earliest Planting Date: Plant early, similar to […]
Production Requirements Soil Types: Well-drained soils, light to medium textured soils Soil pH: Acidic to alkaline soils Preferred Rotational Crops: Cereals Should Not Rotate With: Canola, dry edible beans, soybeans, sunflowers or buckwheat Minimum Soil Temperature: Has been broadcast onto frozen ground in early December under no-till conditions Optimum Air Temperature: 20°C–25°C Earliest Planting Date: […]
Production Requirements Soil Types: Prefers well drained soils. Reduced yields on extremely heavy or light textured soil types Soil pH: 6.0–7.5 Recommended Rotational Crops: 4-year rotation with cereals or corn Should not plant after: canola, edible beans, soybeans, buckwheat or sunflowers Minimum Soil Temperature: 4°C–6°C (seedlings are sensitive to frost) Optimum Air Temperature: 25°C–28°C Earliest […]
Production Requirements Soil Types: Well-drained loam, silt loam or clay loam soils are preferred Soil pH: >5.6 Preferred Rotational Crops: Corn, cereal crops Minimum Soil Temperature: 3°C Optimum Air Temperature: 10°C–27°C Earliest Planting Date: Early to late April Required Growing Season: 90–115 days Flax is a versatile crop that has been an ingredient in oil-based […]
