The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of growing winter camelina as a cover crop after soybean in corn-soybean rotation and to measure the biomass production from camelina and its effects on corn yield and soil health. Findings suggest that it may take many years or much greater biomass production from the camelina cover crop to improve soil health. Research in this area will continue.
