Texas producers evaluating more alternative crops Sunflower, canola among crops

20.05.12

Dr. Rob Duncan, AgriLife Extension small grains specialist, told attendees at the recent Texas Plant Protection Association conference in Bryan that crops such as canola and sunflower are receiving more attention by farmers. These represent alternative crops that can be incorporated into a traditional crop portfolio of cotton, corn and sorghum, he said.

Flax and camelina are also getting some attention, but to a lesser extent, he said.

“Sunflower is a crop that both Texas AgriLife Research and Texas AgriLife Extension Service are doing lots of work (on),” he said. “Farmers who are incorporating this into their crop rotation are seeing some positive economic benefits.”

Castor was another crop Duncan discussed and one that is in high demand for manufacturing various products such as specialty lubricants and plastics. “We currently import 100 percent of our castor oil. This is a market we could definitely take advantage of in Texas,” he said.
