Flax Straw Purchase

Please read through this carefully

PCE has been purchasing flax straw from farmers every year since 2022, with each year increasingly more flax straw being purchased than the last. If you’re interested in being part of our next round of flax straw purchasing, please read through this page and then fill out the form below. Thank you.

  1. LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION
    • We typically are purchasing in the southeastern Saskatchewan area but are open to talking with flax farmers from all areas. 
    • Bales are stored on the farmer’s property.
    • Transportation to the processing site can be done by the farmer or PCE will make arrangements.
  2. BALES
    • Bales must be at least 900 lbs, with 15% moisture content or less.
    • Bales must be rock free.
    • Minimal weed content
    • Round or large-square
  3. PURCHASING
    • ¼ paid on confirmation of stored bales and ¾ paid on confirmation of pick-up.
    • Transport payment is in addition to baling and based on distance.

FAQ's

How do I get a contract to sell PCE my straw?
Please fill out the form below to start the process. If you’re in the purchasing area you will hear from us and we will email you a contract. 

What if I am not in the purchasing area?
We hope you will consider storing your bales as we are projecting future flax straw needs. We can’t promise outright that we will buy them, but we are planning to ramp up production throughout the year. If you can bale and transport to southeastern Saskatchewan at a cost within our purchase budget, it is more likely we will purchase your bales. Please fill out the form below.

 

I didn’t grow flax this year but am considering it for next year.
Sign a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) agreement with PCE for next year. We contact farmers with ROFRs first when buying straw. Please fill out the form below and put ROFR in the message and we will send you one. It’s a flexible 5 year agreement that just says if you are growing flax, PCE has the first right to buy your straw. You’re not obligated to grow flax every year nor sell it to us.
