Abstract
A method of making plates or profiled workpieces from annual plants such as flax, straw, hemp, rice, reed, sugar cane, cotton stem, includes the steps of pressing plant parts of annual plants into bales after harvesting and completely wrapping the bales with a liquid-tight, vapor-permeable sheet. The wraped bales can then be stored until further processing which can be effected without subjecting the bales to an additional drying operation. Unsuitable plant parts such as dust, foreign matters and the like may be separated after harvesting from the useful plant parts before the latter are pressed to bales and wraped by a sheet.
