Montana's Pulse Potential
Montana is the 4th largest state in the United States. At 147,164 square miles, it is 57% larger than the United Kingdom, and even larger than Japan. With a population of just 1 million people, Montana has seemingly boundless capacity for food production.
As more growers across the state have taken advantage of the agronomic benefits of including pulse crops in their rotations Montana has established itself as the leading pulse crop producing state in the U.S. accounting for nearly 1 million planted acres in 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic global demand for more shelf stable food increased. Increased demand for pulses greatly reduced a surplus creating favorable markets world-wide
