Do you use a drill to plant peas or is there some special equipment I don't know about? I'm talking dry peas that are used in some grain mixes.

You can use a planter to plant your peas with. It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly we used corn plate to plant them with. They were mainly used as a legume to enrich the soil, and we used an old A/C All Crop 60 to combine them with.

later days mate,

My experience is for silage- 2bu/a peas, 1bu/a grain. For dry bales- 1bu/a peas, 2bu/a grain. I use barley or oats. CDC Baler oats is great for feed(leaves are like corn, 1.5"-2" wide) I use my JD hoe drill for seeding peas. Works great, just make sure the feed cups are open enough so it doesn't crack the pea. As for swathing and combining, I seed a 3/4-1bu grain with the peas for support. You can swath with ease instead of pulling your hair out. I feed my peas, so the barley in the mix doesn't matter to me. Hope this helps you.

A drill will do it. I'm not sure of the seeding rate (bu/ac.) or row spacing (never grown them) but others here or a fieldman can tell you. The real fun might start when you combine them. Farmers here use a special straight cut header/reel to pick them off the ground. HTH.

Thanks Rob, that's a start! I'd like to hear more about combining, drying, and storing if you or anyone else knows how. Chances are I will be using an antique to harvest them since that is actually part of the goal here. I'm looking to grow things that I can actually use around the place and have a known market for the excess.
