Double-cropping soybean with winter wheat or canola is common in the Southern U.S. However, the shorter growing season in the Upper Midwest does not permit this cropping strategy. New interest in domesticating the early maturing oilseed, pennycress, and renewed interest in further improving the ancient oilseed, camelina, led researchers to test the feasibility of relay-cropping these oilseeds with soybean in Minnesota.
