Background:
Interest in pea production is growing as the Roquette Pea Processing plant resumes construction in Portage la Prairie. Although they currently do not expect to be up and running until the second half of 2020, now is the time to be looking at the possibilities that will soon be opening up to farmers. This demonstration was intended to showcase different green, yellow and maple varieties. Unfortunately the yellow varieties had to be discontinued due to poor establishment.
