Thanks for the link, but I already had it Most of the info on Camelina is outdated or not applicable to my area. I've got a friend of mine that was so pumped about Camelina that he planted 1,000 acres of it. We had 2 days of below freezing weather in mid April that killed off his planting! Nobody told him that it's susceptible to late spring frosts.............It may be a viable crop for some areas, but Canola is still a better crop for this area.
