Pea Harvests Has Began! East Sask!

This year the later fields look better in all crops, but for the most part the peas had heat blast on the blossoms reducing the number of pods that developed to 3 to 4 pods per plant, from a potential of 7 to 9.

First field done min geese damage and only three little sloughs no flood damage. If the rest are like this our best yield ever. Their nice I'm pleased.

So SF3 congrats and good for you and your farm. I will assume that your best ever is 60 plus. Letting everyone know your yield here in Agriville won't hurt prices. I hear the trade is so short peas the traders are chewing their nails off hoping to get their cheap contracts in to fill empty waiting ships before they have to bite the bullet and start paying $10 to meet commitments. The pea crop in sask and alberta sucks bad and you are in a very fortunate.

We are filling the early contact I did last winter and binning the rest, then moving on to other crops. Lots look to be maybe upping the pea acreage next year in this area. Time will tell what looks good one year can be a shit show the next.

SF3,

Which variety are your yellow peas? How well did they stay up for cutting? Did they end up nice and round and cure out without green imature downgrading coloured seeds?

Meadows it will be our last year for seeding all the peas to these as we are moving to Amarillo's. or another one. They were standing awesome until the two inches and then two more last weekend. Now about a foot of crop lodged. Yes their a 1 and doing nice. Heat was not a problem for us or lack of moisture. Cracks are min.
