Farm Service Agency Encourages Growth Of Camelina

If you farm or own land in these three states – California, Washington and Montana – the USDA Farm Service Agency has an important message that you’ll want to hear.

They are encouraging the growth of camelina through FSA’s Biomass Crop Assistance Program. BCAP for short.

Camelina is a seasonal grass that is highly sought-after for biofuel, especially by the air transportation industry and the military.

Specific counties in California, Washington, and the entire state of Montana are eligible to participate in the program.

The deal is this: the Project Area is seeking several thousand acres of land to be converted to camelina production. The Project Sponsor and you must come to an agreement to participate in the program for five years. It’s a contract.

For more information, contact your local FSA office, or go online to fsa.usda.gov/mt and click on the link to State Offices.

Grow camelina. You help the nation and they will help you.
