Field Peas
Pisum sativum
Field Peas are 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 because Field Pea is marketed as a dry, shelled product for either human or animal food. Fresh peas are typically marketed as a fresh vegetable for human consumption. Field Peas may be inter-seeded with oats or spring triticale to improve the forage value of the hay.
