Meal and fiber values of oilseeds

Casey Hoy's picture

I've been looking into the additional uses of various parts of the oilseeds under consideration, including various uses of the oil, feed value of the meal, and value of the rest of the plant.  We will want to consider the cooking and other values for the oil, so for example flax might be useful in specialty finishes for the wood products industry in the area in addition to fuel value.  The publication on meal value of camellia also included information on flax seed, and the link wasn't working in Joel Hunter's message so I've uploaded the file to the Penn State publications folder.

Hannah Whitehead, recent graduate of University of Chicago, will be working for us on the oilseeds project this summer.  She's been added to this online group and will be looking over the background materials we've posted.  We'll have her formally hired as soon as our HR office can wade through the paperwork.  Welcome aboard, Hannah!
