A great grain crop or forage mixture component.
Yellow peas are a great non-GMO protein source and are becoming more prevalent in feed rations with protein percentages ranging from 21–25. They contain high levels of carbohydrates, are low in fiber, and contain 86–87% total digestible nutrients, making them an excellent livestock feed. In spring or fall, sow 5 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (200 lb./acre) alone, or 3 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (120 lb./acre) mixed with vetch and/or oats, winter rye, or ryegrass. Harvest for grain at 16–18% moisture or when the seeds are hardened and fully mature. Organically grown. Avg. 3,000 seeds/lb.
