Over the weekend I was in Great Falls, Montana and I was able to check out the Northern Pulse Growers Association Montana Pulse Day and Trade Show.
The potential for pulses in Montana and North Dakota is strong based on the geographical similarities to Western Canada alone. Obviously with the increase in growth of pulse consumption globally pulse acres have room to expand over the long term in regions of North America that are not suitable to corn, canola and soybeans.
I had the chance to visit pool side with Beau Anderson, Chairman of the NPGA about the pulse industry south of the border, how American and Canadian farmers and researchers collaborate on the benefits of the pulse industry long term and what the future looks like for his group.
