Bioengineering the highest yielding plant seeds

About Us

The Pennycress Company is an agricultural biotechnology startup based in Lincoln, Nebraska. Our mission is to make agriculture more profitable and sustainable by bioengineering pennycress seeds and connecting the supply chain from farmer to biorefinery. Pennycress is a winter oilseed crop that farmers can grow between corn and soybean seasons - helping farmers earn extra income and improve soil and ecosystem health, while providing a low-carbon feedstock for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
