Technical Feasibility of Small-Scale Oilseed and On
This article investigates the technical feasibility of small-scale oilseed production and on-farm processing of livestock feed and biodiesel based on data from two Vermont farms experimenting with these enterprises in cooperation with University of Vermont (UVM) Extension.

Small-scale Oilseed Processing Guide. Online Version (Free): Download File. Oilseed crops present an opportunity for farmers in the Northeast to diversify with a crop typically grown in the Midwestern and Great Plains regions. Many of the crops are adaptable and have been grown in the Northeast--some for a number of years, and others only
Goals / Objectives The overall goal of this project is to analyze the economic feasibility and market potentials for farm-scale oilseed and biodiesel production in Vermont with a focus on the demand factors and provide information and recommendations to farmers, entrepreneurs, policymakers and communities. Five specific objectives are proposed to accomplish this goal: (1) To continue the

Safe and Profitable Oil Production Fact Sheets Edible oils, which are oils used for salad dressing, deep fat frying or pan frying cooking methods, are often produced by large-scale processors. But Penn State University and the University of Vermont have been working together to create easily accessible information on edible oil production for

Although modern refrigeration systems are generally used for large scale, longer-term storage of these crops some enterprises seek lower cost and high energy efficiency options. We recently completed a series of small scale oilseed press evaluations related to on-farm oilseed processing. The University of Vermont. Burlington, VT 05405
FARMDATA is an online system for tracking and reporting crop production data, particularly for organic vegetable growers. The system can be used for keeping records on seeding, transplanting, harvest, cover crops, compost, fertilization, irrigation, pest scouting and spraying activities, packing, distribution and customer invoicing.

Oilseed Processing for Small-Scale Producers ATTRA. However, getting the oil to commercial food grade may be an important step in oilseed processing if your market demands it. For example, restaurants require oils that have a relatively high smoke temperature and may or may not want the taste of the natural oil. Get Price
- How does Vermont's oil industry work?
- The oil is sold into the food sector and for livestock feed, and the oilseed meal (also a feed ingredient) is sold to local dealers and farm direct. “This business model will have a direct impact on the number of Vermont farms earning a profit by growing oil crops in their rotation.
- How do you extract oil from oilseeds?
- Supercritical fluid, water and enzyme-aided water extraction processes are of interest for specialty and gourmet oils production. Solvent extraction refers to preferential dissolution of oil by contacting oilseeds with a liquid solvent. This is the most efficient technique to recover oil from oilseeds.
- Does borderview farm lease acres to UVM extension?
- Borderview Farm leases a number of acres to UVM Extension for various oilseed crop field trials, including soy, sunflower, canola, flax and camelina.
- What are the three main oilseed crops?
- Although there are many oilseed crops, the primary three include soybeans, sunflower, and canola. Sunflower and canola have oil content over 40% of total seed weight. Soybeans have relatively low oil content, often below 25% of total seed weight.
- How can we explore bioenergy potential in Vermont?
- A first step in exploring bioenergy potential is to connect with nearby farmers over interest, equipment, and land. In Vermont, the Food System Atlas provides a searchable mapping interface for farmers to find one another based on location, key word, or farm category.
