    I farm east of u freewheat and our snowbird variety was suffering a bit from the excess rain but now due to heat and drier conditions they look great. Flowering full bore and about waste high. We got ours from a seed grower in melfort. Will seehow they yield and how the marketing goes before we grow anymore.

      I have 1 quarter of florent seeded a bit late for fabas on May 16th. They look very good so far. They don't mind being under water for a while but there's a limit too. Definitely better than peas for moisture stresst. This is my third year growing them. Got 56bpa the last 2 years, could have been better last year but the dryer August was no help. Marketing is limited to a few buyers but feed mills love them for their high protein. They stand great but they are the last thing to be combined.
