Good move S/F

After a parts run today, I'd say most of the peas are harvested here in the n.e. At least from my hyway road tour. IMO for the bulk of the pea harvest to be done by the end of Aug. seems early for me...

Tipsy,

Did my first field of Yellows!

Sure will plant more next year... wishing I had more peas and less flax!!! Pea yield likely will be more than our CWRSwheat... and worth way more!

Only wish all pea harvests could pick up and be this easy... best pea harvest ever for Combine and field finish for next year !!!

Good to hear. Yellows when they grow and make a nice stand are great to harvest.

Every time you pull back in from the headland turn you can hear them in the combine.

It becomes musical if you are not listening to the radio. And even better I'd they are yielding well and going direct to the elevator.

Tom4 looks like they can tolerate more heat and dry conditions cause I know they don't like wet n soggy?
Good luck with the rest of your harvest!
