It's a new chapter for Ray Orb, as he is now adjusting to life after being the president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) for the last ten years, and twenty overall with the Board. Orb talks about what he has seen in his two decades with the organization, working with different levels of government, the key issues, accomplishments and regrets.Root rot in pulse crops has grown to be a devastating issue for growers across Western Canada, so a team of University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers and colleagues at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the National Research Council(NRC) led by Dr. Sabine Banniza (PhD) of USask's Crop Development Centre (CDC) is searching for ways to beat it.Banniza, a professor with the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, received more than $4.2 million from the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI) to uncover solutions for root rot in pea and lentil crops.As Banniza puts it, root rot in pea and lentil has become so prevalent in Western Canada it has caused growers to stop planting the crops in some areas.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kim Sauressig is a fourth generation farmer in Central North Dakota where he grows a wide range of crops including corn, wheat, durum, barley, soybeans, lentils, chickpeas and pinto beans. He also raised cattle until a few years ago when they decided to focus exclusively on crops. When not farming, Kim chairs the North Dakota Dry Pea & Lentil Council and has a seat on the USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council where he serves as the chair of the research committee. Kim shares his journey into pulse crops, what roles they play in his overall rotations, the value of associations like the USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council, and why he believes more farmers should consider including pulse crops in their crop rotations. “So we started seeding pintos and we were putting a little bit of “N” down. My agronomist called me and he got our soil test back from the laboratory and he is like, just drop your fertilizer. He said, “You don't have to put anything down.” And I truthfully, honestly think that that's because the lentils from the two years previous had fixated it in there. We didn't need it anymore.” - Kim SauressigKim highlights the many benefits of pulse crops that he has experienced including their nitrogen fixation capabilities and their efficiency with water use. Through his work on the North Dakota Dry Pea and Lentil Council and the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council he has expanded his personal network to include many agronomists and research scientists that have really helped him not only fine tune his operation but also support future pulse crop growers. He goes on to share the many advantages the councils offers producers by way of research and financial support.“Your revenue protections and your crop insurances and stuff, that's kind of directly put together by the US Dry Pea and Lentil Council….They were a dog in the fight that helped get dollars to come back into the specialty crop side of things. I mean we're talking millions and millions of dollars that went back to producers that were growing pulse crops that were very, very beneficial.” - Kim SauressigThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Kim Sauressig, a fourth generation farmer in Central North Dakota, chair of the North Dakota Dry Pea & Lentil Council and chair of the research committee on the USA Dry Pea & Lentil CouncilDiscover Kim's experiences with pulse crops and the insights he has gained from participating in both the North Dakota Dry Pea and Lentil Council and the USA Dry Pea and Lentil CouncilGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Nicole leads the agriculture side of the business, including contracting with growers, seed development and breeding, and innovation in product development. Her brother Tyler leads the ingredient side of the business. PURIS operates throughout the entire supply chain from developing genetics to developing new markets. “So if you're making a high protein cereal, you need a different pea protein than if you're making a plant-based beverage, which is still using a pea protein. But those two pea proteins are slightly different. And that's really the innovation that we do on our processing side, is we create these different proteins with different functionalities so that they can work in these different applications.” - Nicole AtchisonAtchison describes the wet protein processing they are using that provides a unique protein stream with a lot of potential for furthering plant-based protein production. She sees potential for pulse proteins in providing protein sources for both consumer beverages and medical nutrition. As they ramp up production, PURIS Holdings is also active in ongoing efforts to regulate the impact of foreign pulse crop processing and imports affecting both global and domestic markets.“I'm a huge advocate for pulse based ingredients because I do think that as much as we want and encourage people to have and eat whole pulses, that's not where the American consumer is today. We like convenient foods, packaged and processed. That's where our market is. And so we need to be able to drive these crops into those channels as well and that's why processing is so critical to the market.” - Nicole Atchison

Take our audience survey and let us know your feedback about the Growing Pulse Crop Podcast!Whether you're from Nebraska or elsewhere, this is a great episode about what's possible for the future of pulse crops. We talk about peas and chickpeas, but we also get into other niche opportunities like mung beans, cowpeas and more. You'll get a sense of the emerging pulse industry in Nebraska, but also what it takes for the development of pulse crops everywhere. We discuss genetics, agronomy, disease management and marketing strategy. We start with Steve Tucker. Steve farms near Venango, Nebraska in the southwest part of the state. He has built his operation on the principle of diversity and grows up to 14 different crops.“We can grow mung beans, I mean, there's different...aspects of these different things that we can do. What does the market need? And so I just had a conversation with a company that's looking for lupins. I don't know if you've ever heard of lupins before and so there are more various different kinds of pulse crops that who knows what else is out there and what people are looking for to utilize in food products.” - Steve TuckerWhen plant pathologist Dr. Bob Harveson came to the University of Nebraska in 1999, chickpeas were really on the rise in the state. Sometime in the early 2000's ascochyta really started to affect a lot of fields and there were no fungicides labeled for the disease for treatment. Since then he said fungicide options have improved over time as have genetics. Unfortunately, many of those same growers who experienced the devastating losses from ascochyta are very hesitant to plant chickpeas or even other pulse crops again. Despite these frustrations, Bob remains optimistic for the future of chickpeas and other pulses in the state. “I have a strong diagnostic background. So whenever something like this pops up, I try to determine what the problem is, how well it's distributed, you know, those sorts of things. Before you can start developing control measures, you gotta know what you've got in order to really make the right choice for that.” - Dr. Bob HarvesonThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Steve Tucker who farms near Venango, Nebraska and explore the diverse crop varieties he plants on his operation and his motivation behind their selectionAlso meet plant pathologist Dr. Bob Harveson from the University of Nebraska and explore his involvement in pulse crop production and what he sees as the future of the industryFor more information on ascochyta specifically, you can refer back to some of the previous episodes we've done on the topic.Coordinated Research Efforts to Fight Pulse Pathogens with Dr. Jenny Davidson in season twoCanadian Pulses and Foliar Disease Management in season twoDisease Management in Pulses with Dr. Michael Wunsch in season oneGrowing Pulse Crops Podcast is hosted by Tim Hammerich of the

**Take our https://bit.ly/GPCsurvey2021 (audience survey): https://bit.ly/GPCsurvey2021 (https://bit.ly/GPCsurvey2021) Today's episode focuses on where pulses fit into a cattle ration. Some growers may be considering haying peas, lentils or chickpeas as a supplement to their nutrition program due to the drought conditions. We also talk about how pulse crops work from a relative value standpoint. We are joined by https://www.ag.ndsu.edu:8000/agriculture/extension/directory/zachary-carlson (Dr. Zac Carlson), the North Dakota State University Extension Beef Cattle Specialist based in Fargo. He just recently started in that position in June after finishing a masters and Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln focused on ruminant nutrition.  “I think pulse crops have a very unique and distinct place when it comes to livestock feed. They certainly provide a high quality forage and a high protein grain that I think has a lot of value in the livestock industry.” - Zac Carlson, Ph.D. This year's severity of drought combined with low hay production has created a scarcity in forage for livestock. Some producers are decreasing their herd size to lighten the nutritional requirements for their operation but Dr. Carlson offers an additional option. Pulse crops can provide 20-25% crude protein as well as some additional energy as part of a livestock ration and so can be used as forage. Their unique abilities for nitrogen fixation do need to be taken into account before they are integrated into a ration.  “Nitrates are our concern when it comes to grazing pulse crops. So it's just something to be aware of. It's definitely manageable...Having a light stocking rate helps with that as well as not grazing when the forage is wet….and making sure your cattle aren't hungry when they go out to these fields. ” - Zac Carlson, Ph.D. Dr. Carlson highlights that when pulse crops are stressed, for example in a drought or unexpected frost, nitrate levels may be increased. He encourages anyone interested in grazing pulse crops to contact their county extension and discuss sending a sample of the pulse crop off for nitrate analysis. Increased levels can be managed but knowing the level of concern is very helpful. “Obviously there's a valuable product there. And I really think considering how some of these might fit into a livestock diet and work through that are something pulse crop producers should consider.” - Zac Carlson, Ph.D. This Week on https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/ (Growing Pulse Crops): Meet https://www.ag.ndsu.edu:8000/agriculture/extension/directory/zachary-carlson (Dr. Zac Carlson), the North Dakota State University Extension Beef Cattle Specialist Explore the uses of pulse crops as a forage or grazing supplement for livestock producers Learn the special considerations producers should consider before using them in their ration We want to hear from you!

March 15th is the last day to complete enrollment for 2021 agriculture risk coverage and price loss coverage programs. Considering that day is coming up in less than two weeks from when this episode publishes, we thought we'd bring you a little bit of timely information about crop insurance in pulses.  Steve Junghans is a risk management specialist at the USDA risk management agency regional office in Billings, MT. He is the lead person there for pulse crops, and is responsible for maintaining and improving the dry bean and dry pea crop insurance programs in MT, ND, SD, and WY. He works closely with the Northern Pulse Growers Association and Northharvest Bean Growers Association, and keeps them up to date on program changes. Steve took a few minutes to give us a behind-the-scenes look into the crop insurance programs for pulses, how payouts are determined, how they are handling things like intercropping, and some of the issues they sometimes see in the process.  “This management agency's role is to provide sound risk management tools for growers so they can have a stable income to produce crops in maintain an affordable and adequate food supply for our nation.” - Steve Junghans Steve discusses three different plans available to producers and the types of pulse crops that apply for each. Plan One is the yield protection plan that protects against production loss only. Plan Two is the most popular and comprehensive option and provides protection against loss of revenue due to production loss, price decline or price increase or a combination of both. PlanThree is rarely selected and is the revenue protection plan with harvest price exclusion. It does not provide protection against price increase.  “It is very important that growers market at least some of their product and report prices, even in a down market so a harvest price can be established.” - Steve Junghans Steve says by taking this measure the producer protects themselves by establishing a more accurate harvest price in order to get the most out of their policy. Steve also offers guidance for those participating in intercropping with pulse crops. If pursuing a fall planted pulse crop, it would need to be requested by the spring sales closing date of March 15th. The grower would need to get spring coverage and consent to an inspection to identify a proper stand to uphold the crop. Increased premiums may result if not handled properly.  Steve highlights that growers need to be aware of proper documentation in regards to written special agreements. The insurance sales agent is responsible for sending this in but producers should be aware and confirm that it happens in order to get the protection desired.  This Week on https://www.growingpulsecrops.com/ (Growing Pulse Crops): Meet Steve Junghans, a risk management specialist at the USDA risk management agency regional office in Billings, MT Explore the insurance options available to pulse crop growers with the upcoming deadline of March 15th Growing Pulse Crops Podcast is hosted by https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhammerich/ (Tim Hammerich) of the http://www.futureofag.com (Future of Agriculture Podcast).

Ep 327 - Is he the Wayne Gretzky of pulse crops? Guest: Murad Al-Katib   “Sustainable three-crop rotation” does not roll off your tongue, nor is it an idea that can be easily comprehended. Yet sustainable three-crop rotation is at the heart of a transformation in agriculture that started in Saskatchewan about 20 years ago.   What is sustainable three-crop rotation, you ask? They are cereal, canola and pulse crops. The first two, you’ve heard of. But pulse crops – what the heck are they? And why should we care?   The reasons to care are environmental, economic and security. First, environmentally: pulse crops, like lentils, affix nitrogen into the soil, which means the field does not have to lay fallow to rejuvenate. That, in turn, means a new crop can grow and while doing so, it captures carbon from the atmosphere and sequesters it. Both effects make pulses environmentally beneficial.   Economically, the value to the Canadian economy is in excess of three billion dollars a year and growing. That, in turn, leads to jobs and further economic growth.  And the phenomenal success of AGT Terminals, headed by Murad Al-Katib, has increased the production of foods from pulses and increased food security in Canada.    Central to AGT’s success is science and technology. Al-Katib’s company employs more than 30 researchers who are not only growing an abundance of food, they are also producing and milling it in Canada – plant-based foods that produce protein rich foods that require less land and less water than traditional protein products.   Data, analytics, decision support, artificial intelligence, better cameras and drones are all a parts of the agriculture equation that are enhancing the ability of farmers to produce a bounty of food for a world of more than 9.5 billion people by 2050. The farms of today and tomorrow employ IT teams to help run efficient and sustainable businesses.   We invited Murad Al-Katid, the 2017 Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur of the Year, the man Professor Sylvain Charlebois calls the “Wayne Gretzky of pulses,” to join us for a Conversation That Matters - Food For Thought episode about the limitless possibilities in Canadian agriculture.   Conversations That Matter is a partner program for the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University.

Welcome to Growing Pulse Crops Podcast! In our first episode we speak with Tim McGreevy, CEO of the American Pulse Association. Tim explains how pulse crops became a priority in the farm bill and what federal funds has helped them to accomplish. The Pulse Crop initiative expanded research in nutrition data for these crops as well as the benefits to the cropping system.  Pulse crops play an integral role in “supporting sustainable agricultural systems around the world.” This has led to recognition and designation of 2016 being the international year of pulses by the United Nations. The US and Canada, top competitors in the industry, joined forces to take advantage of this opportunity and promote awareness for pulse crops. This effort has led to “exciting product innovation in plant based foods.” “We (pulses) are in beverages, we're in baked goods, we're in pastas, we're in deserts. We are in everything now and it's growing.” - Tim McGreevy Despite this recognition and promotion, the industry as a hole has faced more recent obstacles. Trade tariffs have resulted in some varieties, especially peas, lentils and chickpeas, to be priced below the cost of production. Another set back involved a recent announcement from the FDA suggesting a correlation between grain-free pet foods using pulse crops as substitutes for conventional grains and dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs. The research to verify the causation of diet induced dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs is ongoing but unfortunately consumer confusion has led to a fall in demand of these crops by pet food companies. Despite these difficulties, McGreevy see's a bright future ahead for the pulse crop industry. Recent annual research reviews highlight the techniques to “raise high quality disease free products” that put nitrogen back into the soil. They also suggest product innovation to fit these crops better into mainstream food supplies and will hopefully lead the way to an expansion of their available market.  This Week on Growing Pulse Crops: Meet Tim McGreevy, CEO of the American Pulse Association Explore the benefits of pulse crops in todays agricultural landscape Learn about the collaborations and successes made by the Pulse Crop Industry Hear about the difficulties faced by the industry in recent years  Discover the actions taken to overcome these issues and the bright future ahead for pulse crops Growing Pulse Crops Podcast is hosted by https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhammerich/ (Tim Hammerich) of the http://www.futureofag.com (Future of Agriculture Podcast).

Today we introduce you to this brand new podcast focused on growing pulses like field peas, chickpeas and lentils.  The purpose of this show is to follow some pulse crop farmers through the growing season and to dive into the research that's helping them through some of the challenges they face. We'll also talk to a number of other industry stakeholders along the way.  Demand for these nutrient-dense, high-protein foods continues to grow. There is also interest from farmers to include more pulses into diverse rotations for benefits like nitrogen fixation and soil health.  But the industry continues to face challenges, and we are eager to address these head on. So if you're a pulse grower or in any way interested in these important crops, hit subscribe and stay tuned for future episodes. We'll be back with plenty of information about challenges pulse farmers are facing throughout the U.S. and what solutions are working.  This episode is just a teaser for what's to come, but I have a bonus clip that I should I would share with you. Please make sure you are subscribed on your podcast player for many more great episodes to come!

Researchers from the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) are in the final stages of identifying a new commercial acid tolerant rhizobia strain for Group F. This strain will offer new hope to southern growers looking to enhance nitrogen fixation of pea, bean and lentil crops in low pH soils. In this podcast, SARDI Senior Research Officer Liz Farquharson takes us through the latest rhizobia strain research and related management options available for southern growers. While commercial release of the strain may seem like a while away, there is still plenty that growers can do to promote nodulation of winter pulse crops.

On this week's episode of A Taste of the Past, host Linda Pelaccio is joined by Clifford Wright and Tim McGreevy. In recognition of the UN's International Year of Pulses, they discuss the history of pulses, from 10,000 years ago to their importance in today's farming and diets."Pulse” is a derivation from the Latin words puls or pultis meaning “thick soup.” Pulse crops are small but important members of the legume family, which contains over 1,800 different species.
