  Each of these flax pods contain eight flax seeds. Each pod starts as a periwinkle blue flower, which falls off the stem and turns into a pod with seeds. Fields of Agape's flax fields are a beautiful array of the blue flowers in the early part of growth.

  The first two years that Anna and Keith Welch grew and harvested flax and small grains, they used this harvester, which is like a combine that runs behind a tractor.
