Winnipeg plant gets $100M in federal financing to pull protein from peas, canola

[bucket]

A steak is cut and cooked ...hamburger ground once...and cooked....


How much processing goes into grinding out the protein from peas and canola...

And where is the premium for protein in either peas or canola????


I know...dumb questions...

In the last Western Producer, croplife Canada article about herbicides and mrl’s. On field peas not supposed to use diquat(reglone) for desiccation because of very low mrl’s in the U.S. They also said to check with your grain buyer before using glyphosate. So I am curious what this new plant will require and where I live in central Alberta basically impossible to harvest peas without desiccation. Tried swathing once and the wind had a hay day. Cut my yield in half.

And the varieties today are not bred for swathing...they are made to be straight cut.

So the question no one is answering is what are rhe standard levels for protein in these crops? Have we been getting screwed? Is that why we’re going this direction or is the standard going to be set high and we ll all
Be getting a discount? Who’s gonna pay the trucking? Why isn’t it built here in sask?
Can’t see any kind of premium paying the trucking cost?
