In Georgia, Nuseed Carinata harvest is underway in the southern United States, starting near Tifton, Georgia. Nuseed has been working with growers in Florida, Georgia, and Texas to increase the sustainable contract production of the non-food oilseed for processing into certified sustainable lower carbon bioenergy feedstock and non-GMO meal for a traceable plant-based source of protein.
Nuseed Carinata has been a great fit for the southern states as a cover crop to help with soil health, soil moisture retention between seasons, and setting up the grower’s primary crop up for success. Nuseed Carinata is a harvested cover crop, so growers also benefit from a secure contract with a downstream market.
