I figured that was the case it was irrigated. But the early dryness and heat did chop 20% or more from yield. We just finished first field of peas and worked it late last night it has three months to sit and take in moisture plus rot.

my conventional neighbor's peas were so flat last year thry windrowed the crop with hay rakes.
There was some shelling, my view it looked like a reseeded crop uniform across the entire field. My guess the losses would be 4 bu/acre, rakes and combines together.
They ran a lemken over the stubble then let it be. The shelled peas germinated and grew for 6 weeks the entire field turned green. The other neighbors that did not see the harvest methods were laughing and criticizing how much the John Deeres threw out. I viewed it as a nitrogen recapture. Why not! They have the best wheat crop around this year. But , hey, its always best to criticize the neighbors. Farmers are very good at that.

Cheap cover crop, hobby. Yeah, I have stuff happen on my farm that people who did not actually see happen probably laugh at. Thankfully, so much of my land is not by major roads. You know what happens though: Your highway land or super grid land sucks, and those hidden away pieces are real gems, and no one sees the amazing crops. Just the mistakes. lol
