At the end of October,
we showed you the camelina sowing work. After months of caring for the crop, mainly aided by a fairly good amount
of rainfall, the camelina is now ready to be harvested. With camelina, we
start the 2024 harvest season . This season looks promising, as the weather
has been favorable throughout the winter.
Regarding to camelina, it’s important to note that it is harvested with a
combine harvester, making the process straightforward. The care and labour
required for this crop is similar to those for pulse vegetables. Our
yields have been around 1,000 kg/ha , which is quite a good result. This was
our first year sowing camelina, and the experience has been positive. It is
now an additional crop to be considered, aiding us in the crop rotation we
need to implement annually. The
Camelina Company
provided us with the seed and now they buy the production as well. All this is
fixed in a contract.
We will be adding photos of the harvest of our various crops: barley, wheat,
triticale, and pulse vegetables (lentils, etc.).
Finally, I would like to wish all farmers a successful harvest season with
good yields. If any of you would like to share your work with us, we look
forward to receiving your comments and photos.
