    Fun fact of the day .....

    Organic peas .....

    No disrespect to Hobby or other who do a good job 👍

    But this is the kind of train wreck that affects all fields within at least a 1/2 mile of this ....

      Peas? If all peas looked like that, we’d solve the over-supply problem 👍

        Just curious, how do you establish that it was intended to be a pea crop? I only ask because it is not immediately obvious from the picture. Perhaps those other species in combination were the desired species, and it is a bumper crop?

          There is an organic farm close by that I drive by occasionally. Does a good job, has some thistles in one barley crop, and some alfalfa in another, but decent crops, and some really good hay this year. But something odd I noticed in the barley with alfalfa, is there are definite stripes of alfalfa, not random patches. and the crop itself has very definite stripes of better vs. worse. Which is quite common with fertilizer and either spin spreaders making a poor pattern, or air seeders which all seem to have sections with more and less. Same with alfalfa, nice straight strips look a lot like sprayer skips...

              Is it possible to grow peas organically ?
              Seems hard enough with weed and disease control
              It is a serious question , hobby , anyone ?

                One feller here tried organic alfalfa seed production
                The plant bugs didnt leave enough to bale
                Maybe worse here cause of all the seed production?

                  I've seen it done... most guys here seed it and if its clean it gets combined, and if dirty it gets plowed down for green manure.

                    I keep hearing about these legendary organic farmers "who do a good job". Sighting one of these is right below "sasquatch" and "ogopogo" on my bucket list!

                    Incidentally, that looks like my organic neighbors field of lentils.

                      I often say dirt must be 90% weed seeds. If you leave it untouched it is sold weeds.

                          But look at the diversity and the synergy that diversity creates for each species.

                          Our peas are no screaming hell.

                          Gotta wonder who is further ahead.

                          We are actually combining this afternoon, after 1.42 inches of rain YESTERDAY. Ghetto farming at it's finest!
                          Muddy tires. No splits or cracks. Retaining good color. Aeration.

                          Life is grand...lmfao!

                            Have an organic neighbor with peas this year. They actually look pretty decent. Wild oats for sure, but not till after the rain, at which time the peas were well established.

                            My best road guess would be 25 to 35 bushel.

                            18 buck a bushel. Should do ok.
