Camelina, IIRC, can be intercropped with wheat. Grow between rounds of wheat it makes use of land that would otherwise be fallow and protects the soil from erosion.

And what is the need for water and fertilizer, which is important to know if a feedstock for biofuel is sustainably viable. Camelina, as is mentioned here as a comparison, is not a sustainable source. http://www.best-alternative-fuel-sources.com/camelina-oil.html
