Description
Field pea is an annual cool season grain legume that produces a high-quality, high- protein crop. Field pea (also known as dry pea) differs from fresh peas in that field pea is marketed as a dry, shelled product for either human or animal food whereas fresh peas are typically marketed as a fresh vegetable for human consumption. Field Peas may be interseeded with oats or spring triticale to improve the forage value of the hay.
