Winter Camelina Field Event

Winter camelina is a rapidly-maturing winter oilseed crop that provides cover crop benefits to soil, water and rotational benefits to farming systems of the upper Midwest. Winter camelina has been gaining attention as a valuable source of biofuel, specifically in producing a low-carbon jet fuel.

Join experts and local farmers to learn the basics of winter camelina production, the current crop market, and to have your questions about growing winter camelina on your operation. Discussion will be followed by a field walk to see a mature crop. This event is free to attend and does not require registration in advance.
