The round bales are definitely flax. They must sit for several years to partially break down before they can be processed. There are several plants here that process the bales to remove the Tow (fibres) from the shive. The tow is rebaled and shipped to the US for further processing into things like cigarette paper. The shive is sold for cattle feed. I sometimes work part time for as an Engineer for a small consulting firm and we designed a mobile and a stationary plant for one of these companys.

As for canola straw, I believe it is as rare as hens teeth. It shatters and comes out the back of a combine like dust.
