Participants
Accomplishments
- Large datasets on production best practices have been developed from the northern plains ad southeast US regions
- The multi-state meetings have enabled data sharing across regions leading to future collaboration
- New areas have been added to the SE scope, new locations for advanced yield trials etc.
- Commercial production of carinata is the SE; 2017-18 is the 4th year of commercial acreage
- Much focus is on supply chain establishment, infrastructure development in the region to support large scale adoption among producers
- Risk mitigation for all stakeholders has to be the key focus going forward specifically risk involved in production
- New improved carinata lines are key to increased cold tolerance for winter production, high yield and early maturity (for winter production)
- Multi-institution bioenergy CAP funded; this is being leveraged for current and future collaborations
