The Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Podcast

As the use of cover crops continues to grow across Illinois and the country, non-traditional crops are being researched and explored as potential cover crops including camelina. Hear from Joel Gruver, Professor of Soil Science and Sustainable Agriculture at Western Illinois University, about camelina as a cover crop and his research. Gruver has spent the past 16 years taking the science and translating it into understandable, memorable ideas for both students and farmers. His primary focus is on organic cropping systems and addressing production questions. Gruver is also conducting research on the use of camelina as a cover crop.
