Flax is an oilseed crop, meaning there is oil inside the seed. Flax is mainly grown for the oil, but it’s also produced for food, fibre and straw. Flax in Manitoba is grown in black soils. Flax isn’t vulnerable to many of the diseases that harm cereals, pulses and other oilseeds, making it a profitable alternative for farmers.
