24 cent red lentils

[GDR]

From a guy that knows nothing about lentils, is there a reason that they sell by cwt? Is there no standardized bushel weight?

Do they fix nitrogen comparable to peas?

At the 24 cents you are talking about are they profitable? What are normal yields?

They fix N like peas!
They are more profitable at .24 then .20 is all I’m going to say.
Yield is like anything .... you need moisture.

They were great in their hayday. 20 cents and thirty bushels was gravy train in 1980. No flex headers and open Versatile swathers and we thought we were partying, even with grasshoppers in our teeth and bleeding knuckles from fixing teeth. 👍 Now its too easy and they are overproduced. Just my HO. I’ve just pulled my helmet on.
