Pea Growing Rising as Promising Industry in Montana
The Bitter Root farmers push pea cultivation as a profitable crop yielding 20 to 25 bushels per acre at 2 to 3.50 dollars per bushel.

Experiments by United States Department of Agriculture chemists suggest flax straw from seed could be turned into paper and fiber board, potentially increasing Montana flax profits by about 25 percent.
