Sustainable Oils, a producer and marketer of camelina-based biodiesel, has obtained sales contracts for its 2008 harvested crop, a press release said.

Company officials reportedly held discussions with Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer and other state officials on the progress it has made with the camelina crop in the state and across North America.

The company is in the process of receiving approval for feeding livestock camelina meal. It is working with members of the North America Camelina Trade Association. This move follows an Food and Drug Administration letter allowing the use of camelina meal in the diets of broilers up to 10% of the weight of the total ration.

NACTA is working with the FDA and the American Association of Feed Control officials to secure "Generally Recognized as Safe" certification for poultry and additional livestock species such as swine, beef cattle and dairy cattle.
