Green peas

[dave4441]

Furrow: SWW and SRW in your area out yielding peas; as you know - 2 to 1 in some cases
You cant afford to grow peas that close to Husky...
you can book $10.00 out to March/23 with Husky; $10.00 out to July/23 with Providence.
Pea acres should see a massive drop in acres next year.
Lots of guys saying screw it - I'm done with peas

What are they offering for 2023?

Haven't seen any pricing past July 23.
Are you posting 23/24 prices?

No and that's exactly the issue. Trying to state what grower will find profitable for 2023 is impossible today.

Nipawin area was one of the original areas to adopt peas back in the early 70's.
There was more peas here then than there is now.
Many near me have gone to a 3 crop rotation. Canola,Oats,and Wheat.
Probably more forage and clover than peas.
Cattle and peas have left this country for most.

What part of 2 bushels to one bushel did you not understand?
Or should I type slower?

Not that I am surprised but it is kind of sad to see the pea market die as that is the only way farmer had to keep the greedy fertilizer companies in line. Actually the story is that the export grain business is dying as all our customers are broke. Chna's economy is failing too. Grow soft wheat to fuel the car but it does take N. I have grown peas sporadically and the crop I had two years ago contributed to my best ever wheat yield on one field this year. Last years drought canola did not remove all the N.

The good news is that the government funded protein plants will get help to import cheaper peas , probably from Ukraine , because thats the way liberals do things.

Subsidizing the secondary industries while leaving the farmers with nothing makes zero sense to me.


Its like our farm groups that see interest free CEBA get extended while interest bearing cash advances are to be paid back in under a year.

Some guys don't see the problems or refuse to, until it finally hits their farm after they have blown generations of savings on new paint.

OOPs , i have said too much.

This goes against what I remember reading previously, possibly on this site. That the drier parts of western Canada are unique in that they can grow comparable yields of pulses vs. wheat, whereas in our consumer countries such as India, with their climates, they could get far far higher yields of cereals vs pulses. So therefore it was cheaper to import pulses and grow their own wheat. And in the meantime, wheat prices have gone up much more than pea prices. Shouldn't the disparity be even more true now?

Or does the world just have a glut of pulses because of the high fertilizer prices, and in responses to last years high pulse prices, and this glut has to work through the system?

But we need you Larry... you will prolong OUR mental health... unfortunately at the cost of yours (hopfully not) 😉
love the emails everyday

If the market don’t want em , we ain’t growing them . That’s my analysis 🤓
Greens have become finicky to grow , more susceptible to root rots compared to yellows and can be hard to move at the best of times .
