Then it's time to start growing Camelina.

Then it's time to start growing Camelina.

Smart Earth’s decades long breeding program has created the foundation for the world’s only elite varieties of Winter Camelina. It’s the Smart Answer to growing renewable fuel feedstock demand. Originating in the frigid Siberian climate, Winter camelina learned to survive in the coldest environments. This ancient oilseed can be planted in the fall. It needs a hard freeze during winter (vernalization) and starts growing again at the first signs of spring.

Offering competitive pricing and taking advantage of what many growers deem to be "oilseed offseason", this Canadian-grown crop is a great fit for your farm, if you are looking to:

✅ Reduce nitrate leaching in the soil. Camelina is an excellent scavenger of residual nitrate in the spring.
✅ Reduce nutrients losses by surface run off (P and N).
✅ Decrease soil erosion by keeping green soil cover in the spring.
✅ Find an annual winter crop that survives the winter in the northern Great Plain.
✅ Support threatened bee populations by providing early forage for bees at a time when nothing else is typically available.
✅ Find a crop that matures earlier, allowing it for relay and double cropping with soybean, early maturing sunflower, and forage sorghum.
✅ Inhibit reproduction of soybean cyst nematode (key as a cover crop in corn-soybean rotations)
