Camelina

Thanks for the info. Sounds like any of these exotic alternatives we try in their infancy. I hate the thought of sinking a bunch into it to wait for a long time to recoup my money. It’s touted as cheaper to grow than canola but my math doesn’t see that. Prove me wrong please.

If you grow it on ground you fed on consider group 2 pursuit type products have virtualy zero control on lambsquarter/pigweed.

I would also want to have good perennial and winter annual control done in the fall.

As soon as you need multiple product going in the tank to do rescue weed control it blows the budget.

I visualize growing rap eseed in the 70's and we were thrilled to get Treflan that left some weeds that would cover the ground before you ever saw the stuff you seeded.

These niche crops should have the purchaser putting up the money for risk, how come the farmer always gets stuck with the loss.

I really don’t think I’ll bother with it until the market is more established. I can never live down trying flax.
