New Safflower for MontanaBOZEMAN - Sep 13/01 - SNS -- Safflower growers in Montana and the Dakotas will have a new variety available which promises to produce a healthier oil and raising hopes amount growers of obtaining premiums from the market. Montola 2004 is the new variety's name. It joins Montola 2000, 2001, 2003 and the industrial variety named Morlin in a suite of varieties that have special nutritional and industrial characteristics. Neil Turnbull of Montola Growers Inc. in Culbertson says the company, which licensed U.S. rights to Montola 2004 from MSU, contracted about twice as much safflower acreage in 2002 as in 2001 and expects to increase contracted acres substantially again next year. "We're seeing a growing acceptance in the market for Montola safflowers and a growing understanding of their special properties," says Turnbull.
