Yellow Peas

[jake550]

Is there any seed available in eastern Saskatchewan?

We haven't grown peas in years but with $9.50 new crop contracts availble for August/September it's getting tempting.

Ronski,

Your numbers seem more in line. At $9.50/bu I wouldn't be fooling around with skimping inputs.

Seed 45
Inoculant 12
Fert 27
Treatment 7

Preseed total 91

President emerge 12
In crop grassy 6
In crop broadleaf 18
In crop foliar 8
In crop fungicide 32

In crop total 74

Preharvest 12


Total variable 170.

9.50 x 40 is 380 minus 170 is 210.


First you don't grow 60 bu every year and inexperienced grows definitely won't.

Second you don't contract your whole crop so what's the rest gonna be worth?

Be realistic guys

Cole,

All the best... try some of both... so you don't have so much at risk. 30bu was a long term average... and dryer years give better quality... steal them like malt barley.

Merry Christmas!
