Built around your rotation
You know your rotation better than anyone. Camelina doesn't ask you to change it.
It grows on rotational or available acres — the ground between your primary crops — without competing for your best land or your attention during your busiest season.
For growers looking to add revenue without adding risk, camelina is a real crop with a real, contracted market.

Frequently asked questions
Is crop insurance available?
Yes. Beginning with the 2026 crop year, USDA RMA made camelina crop insurance available nationwide through written agreements. Coverage is available only for camelina grown under contract with a processor. Talk to your VISION agronomist or a crop insurance agent for details on your area.
How does the Guaranteed Offtake Agreement work?
We guarantee purchase of all grain produced under contract, at competitive, transparent pricing — backed by strong partnerships across the value chain.
How is storage and transportation handled?
We partner with storage locations nationwide. Growers are responsible for transportation to their closest location.
Can camelina follow wheat or other cereals in rotation?
Yes. Camelina fits well behind cereals and is commonly grown in rotation with wheat, barley, and other small grains.
What happens if I get an early frost after planting?
Camelina is frost-tolerant and germinates at soil temperatures as low as 39°F, so an early cold snap after planting isn't typically a concern the way it would be for less hardy crops.
Does camelina need pollinators?
No. It's self-pollinating, with a brief 2–3 week bloom period.
What herbicide carryover should I watch for?
We have and are developing leading camelina varieties suited for your geography including tolerance to herbicide carryover. Talk to one of our agronomists.
Should I rotate out of camelina or other Brassica crops?
Camelina is best suited as a rotational crop.
What if my seed comes in too wet at harvest?
See our harvest guide or talk to one of our agronomist.
Do I need special equipment to grow camelina?
No. All conventional small-grain equipment and tillage practices are compatible with camelina. Your VISION agronomist will provide guidance tailored to your setup.
