U.S. Pea and Lentil Are Growing
WASHINGTON - Feb 27/06 - SNS -- Field pea and lentil area will continue expanding in 2006 in response to minimum payment guarantees offered by the U.S. Farm Program, says USDA's Gary Lucier of the Economic Research Services February Vegetables and Melons Outlook.
"Area devoted to dry peas and lentils remains on a strong upward trend in the United States, especially in North Dakota and Montana, where much of this year's expansion is again expected to occur," Lucier said.
"It appears likely that U.S. area seeded to dry edible peas (largely green and yellow peas) will surpass 1 million acres in 2006—exceeding last year's 808,000 acres and the 1943 record high of 825,000 acres. Although growing more slowly, area planted to lentils may also exceed last year's record high of 450,000 acres by about a tenth."
