Combining Dry Field Peas


We have been combining for the last several days. We finished Elna's mothers place on Tuesday. We had malt barley there that was badly hailed, about 60%. We hauled it home and dried it as was still tough but starting to shell out and fall on the ground. We then moved to our yellow pea field and did that. These peas yielded quite good and they were dry so we could put them straight in the bin. These peas will be sold for split pea soup and may even be exported out of Canada as peas are great source of protein in many countries around the world. Pictured is Elna, standing in front of her combine just before finishing the field.
