Maybe A Few Peas

I had a large producer in today booking treatments for peas. Just a 1/2 section, ( small for them) , but enough to get me looking at the pulse markets. I always like peas in a rotation. Pulses make for good rotations away from cereals and oilseeds. They add nitrogen to the soil and break disease cycles ( somewhat). In our area pulse crops allow more use of group 2 wild oat herbicides another nice break in herbicide rotations.
