Overview: This report states that driven by the income security provided by the marketing loan program, favorable market prices for lentils, falling prices for alternative crops, relatively low input costs, and the long term benefits of having pulses in a crop rotation, U.S. dry pea and lentil growers are again expected to seed more acreage this spring than a year ago. Lentil area is projected to show a smaller increase than last year's 40 percent surge and area planted to dry peas could rise more than a third this year as interest in these crops continues to expand beyond traditional growing areas.
