I never heard of this oilseed before, but ran across an article how it is being looked at as a low input
crop that can be grown with no tillage, or herbicide and produces an edible oil and also valuable as a
bio diesel source.

It is highly suited to the upper midwest states like SoDak, Nodak and Mn. That got me thinking if this
took off as a viable crop what the nectar potential might be for beekeepers in this region. Its from
the Brassicaceae family which includes mustard and rapeseed so one would think it might be a
nectar producer. Anyone have any information or experience with this plant?
