We acidentally brought the whole town out for a sight seeieng trip one evening.
As flax straw won"t breakdown for ploughing and nobody wanted it for straw bedding. We pushed 25 acres of straw up into a dozen piles. The piling was finished shortly after dusk. Then we lit the straw......................
The whole field was lit up as bright as an overcast day but orange in colour. The heat could be felt hundreds of yards away.
That was in the days before there were burn permits etc. The following years we made certain the combine"s straw chopper was functional.
