Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate flaxseed marketing storage operations at country elevators at various locations with present methods and practices, and to examine changes that would benefit farmers, industry, and consumers by increasing the efficiency of storage. Data relating to assembly, grading, storage, and suitable flaxseed storage capacity were obtained from 265 elevators in North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Of the 265 schedules, 220 were completed through enumerator contacts with the elevator manager and the remaining 45 schedules were returned by co- operating line company elevators with headquarters in Minneapolis. The survey of the 1955 flaxseed crop was conducted during the summer months of 1956, although the study includes supplemental transportation data for 1957.
