Product
- Field peas are used as protein concentrates, in the form of silage, pasture, hay, or grain. Some people are drying them and pulverizing them to use as home made fertilizer.
- Grown in a mixture with oats, barley, or triticale they yield tons of silage. The small grain makes the peas stand more erect which makes the crop easier to harvest.
- A mixture of 50 lbs. peas and 2-1/2 bu. of oats can be seeded with clover or alfalfa as a companion crop. The stand reduces weed competition and allows for 1 or 2 alfalfa cuttings following the harvest.
- Harvest is recommended when the field peas are in full blossom just before the small grain heads out. However, due to weather conditions a lot of it gets taken later... when the peas are far enough along to eat and still folks are pleased with the results.

Organic Australian Winter Peas
- Fall Seeded Cover Crop that can be used for Grazing, hay, and a green manure plowdown.
- Great for deer plots!
- Austrian Winter Peas will make a great food plot or addition to a mixture planted in the fall to attract deer. Highly favored by whitetails, these fast growing peas will attract deer to a plot soon after germination making them a favorite of bow hunters.
- This ground-hugging pea germinates and grows better in cooler soils than most legumes and withstands temperatures to at least 0 degrees F.
- It is a good weed competitor, does well in heavy soils, and fixes 70-125 lbs. of Nitrogen per acre. It matures early, attracting beneficial insects to the growing area at the start of the season. It is a good protein source in forage mixtures.
- In most areas, sow in early to mid-fall on well-drained soil. Blend with small grain to maximize forage potential. Seed at 70-120 lbs./acre.
- Austrian Winter Peas perform poorly under low light conditions so interseeding into corn does not work well.

Management
- Peas do best in cool, dry conditoons.
- Plant them as early as possible, even before oats if you can, on well drained soil.
- Plant them 1.5 - 2 inches deep. Too shallow and they can dry out and die before or during germination. Peas require more moisture than most seeds to get them started.
- Peas are slow to establish and need to be drilled deep. Using inoculant on ground that hasn't had peas for five years or more.
- Seed at 150 lbs per acre.
- When seeding for forage, seed at 100 lbs per acre.
- When companion planting, plant, Oats or Barley, two weeks later and shallower than the peas.
- If seeded after April, seed all companions at the same time.
