YELLOW PEAS
In partnership with Equinom, Peterson Farms Seed is contracting for ultra-high protein, yellow field peas in a profitable, take-all contract.
Here are the basics:
- Ultra-high protein. Our pea varieties are bred specifically to be protein powerhouses, with supercharged protein content prime for food processing.
- Powdery Mildew resistance. Originally bred for Canadian production, all Equinom pea varieties carry resistance to powdery mildew.
- Semi-leafless, good harvestability. These peas will be standing tall at harvest, making it easier on you, and the combine.
- Closed-loop, take-all contracts. From seed to elevator, we’ve got you covered! When you contract field pea acres, you are buying a Peterson Farms Seed product, processed and prepped in our Prosper, ND plant before delivery to you. The take-all contract means every bushel that meets minimum contract requirements will be trucked out, by us, to its final destination.
- Profitable contracts. Looking for a reason to give peas a try? This is your opportunity to add value to your farm’s bottom line. Contract specifics are now available.
- Agronomic benefits? Check. Peas are a great opportunity to diversify your operation. Like soybeans, peas fix nitrogen and can provide a nitrogen credit for next season. And because field peas use less water than wheat, soybeans, and corn, they are great to have in a rotation before corn to preserve subsoil moisture.
