I’m looking for some advise from my northern friends. After talking at farmer2farmer I’m considering trying to raise some field peas or chick peas in central Nebraska as a short season crop. Might be able to get a little more cover crop growth late season that way. Tell me honestly if it is a dumb idea or might work! What are expected yields and prices? Any info is appreciated!

Puris seed is costly but they do full production contracts. You have to store peas on buyers call up to year. They are very strict on soy residue as well. Yields are similar to wheat. Good way to add rotational crop. There are pea processing plants in Texas and Kansas that brokerage firms sell to. Talk to your FBN rep about these markets.
