Camelina sativa, an ancient European crop, has shown great promise as a valuable oilseed crop for production in our region. Camelina is a low input, dryland crop that appears to be more agronomically adapted and can be produced equally or for less in Montana than other oilseed crops such as canola and soybeans. The oil can be used to produce biodiesel and industrial products such as biolubricants and fuel additives. The meal can be used in composite wood and coal pellets. Acreage in Montana has rapidly increased from 450 acres in 2005 to over 50,000 acres in 2007.

The purpose of this project is to improve invasive weed management and
control methods on grazing lands. We aim to attain this purpose by reducing the likelihood of
invasion and improving the detection, reporting, and eradication of new weeds in weed
prevention areas with seasonal range riders, or ",weed scouts.", Weed prevention areas (WP As)
are weed-free rangelands prioritized for protection from invasive weed spread. Preventative
efforts to manage invasive weeds are successful and cost effective. We aim to improve weed
management on grazing lands by ultimately setting standards and guidelines that prioritize weed management in weed-free rangelands.

The objective of this project is to improve water and energy conservation. It will convert 5.8 miles of lateral ditches to pipeline and control and monitor flows through the new pipeline exclusively with solar-powered equipment. All gates and turn outs will be fully automated using the radio telemetry, which will be solar powered. It is the first in the Western Slopes of Colorado.
