When Joe McFerrin and Shane and Shelley Berry decided to produce black-eyed peas in place of corn on the drought-ridden Texas Plains, they had hoped to dust off their header and use the combine they've got to harvest them.
But they quickly learned that their corn special combine was too aggressive and splitting the peas."We don't get paid on splits," McFerrin says. So, they hired custom harvester and black-eyed pea producer, Kody Carson, Olton, to combine them instead.
Crop Consultant Randy Redinger, Ag Producers Co-op, makes combine and harvest recommendations, along with talking about the 'bright side' of drought for black-eyed peas.
