Seeds of Change: How Camelina can Boost Crop Systems - RDA 409
Update: 2025-04-15
Description
Camelina is quickly emerging as a flexible, resilient alternative for producers looking to diversify rotations beyond wheat and canola. As a member of the Brassica family, this oilseed crop offers exceptional adaptability to various soil types and tillage practices, making it a strong fit for the Southern Great Plains. With planting windows that span fall and spring, camelina provides producers with a safety net when wheat planting is delayed or fails altogether. Plus, its early harvest timing means it's out of the field before wheat comes off, freeing up time and equipment.
What makes camelina even more compelling is its guaranteed market—thanks to Shell Oils, which processes camelina into sustainable aviation fuel. For growers, that means peace of mind and profit potential in a volatile market. With its small seed size, minimal input needs, and in-season agronomic support, camelina delivers a smart, sustainable solution for building a more flexible and future-ready cropping system.
