Rosemount Research and Outreach Center

The winter-hardy oilseed crop known as winter camelina is drawing increasing interest across Minnesota for its ability to protect soil, provide an additional revenue stream for farmers, and serve as a potential feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel. To support ongoing research and collaboration around this emerging crop, the Rosemount Research and Outreach Center recently hosted a field day organized by the University of Minnesota Forever Green Initiative and its partners. 

On August 13, 2025, the Rosemount Research and Outreach Center (Rosemount ROC) welcomed farmers, researchers, students, and community members to its annual Field Day—an event that celebrated agricultural research, sustainable practices, and the power of collaboration between the University and the wider community.

The Rosemount Research and Outreach Center (Rosemount ROC) completed harvesting camelina, a resilient oilseed crop gaining attention for its potential in sustainable agriculture and biofuel production.
