A dry pea grower in Central Nebraska says producers who aren’t diversifying their operation with specialty crops could be missing out on ways to improve their bottom line.
Logan Govier of Broken Bow tells Brownfield, “It’s a new crop and people aren’t used to it and it sometimes is hard to think out of the box and change.”
He says dry peas are planted in low water use areas. “In our area, corn and soybeans are well established and that’s what everybody has the equipment, infrastructure, it’s a little bit of a struggle to break into a crop not too many people know about,” he says.
