Seed Pea Production Expands in Montana Farms
Montana seed pea production grows beyond Gallatin Ravalli and Carbon counties with 20000 acres last year yielding about 650000 dollars.

Prices range 2.25 to 8.50 per 100 pounds for canning varieties and 2.50 to 5 for garden types as experts advise fall plowing and smooth seed beds for best germination and yields.
