About this listen
This week on the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, we dig into an exciting alternative crop with real potential for Southern Plains producers—camelina. Host Dave Deken is joined by Amanda Duvall and the Red Dirt dream team—Dr. Josh Lofton and Dr. Raedan Sharry—for an eye-opening discussion on how camelina is reshaping crop rotation conversations. From its weed control benefits and wide planting window to its growing market in sustainable aviation fuel, this oilseed crop is gaining serious ground.
Whether you're battling failed wheat acres, chasing new income streams, or simply exploring agronomic flexibility, camelina might just be your new go-to. Amanda breaks down the crop's adaptability to various tillage systems, its drought tolerance, and how it integrates with grazing and cover crop strategies. With harvesting before wheat and low input requirements, it’s a crop that offers profitability without complexity.
