Farmers exploring winter camelina as a new revenue opportunity now have access to an important new safeguard during their early years of production. MBOLD, together with Cargill, Compeer Financial and Aon, is launching a pilot Winter Camelina Moisture Program to provide financial compensation to growers when abnormal moisture conditions cause losses during key planting and harvest windows. The program is available at no cost to eligible U.S. farmers growing winter camelina under contract with Cargill during the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 crop years.
Traditional crop insurance generally requires three years of production history, creating a gap for farmers who want to bring winter camelina into their rotations. This new program helps bridge that gap by offering financial compensation to growers for losses due to poor moisture conditions. By reducing barriers for early adopters, the program supports continued momentum toward scaling winter camelina as a viable cash crop and scalable feedstock for renewable fuel and animal feed markets.
Providing farmers with a safety-net against extreme moisture conditions as they adopt and optimize winter camelina production is just one of the many barriers MBOLD and partners are working to remove on the path to meaningful scale.
