Pea farming involves the cultivation of peas, a popular legume known for its nutritional value and versatility in cooking. Farmers typically plant pea seeds in well-drained soil during the cooler months, as peas thrive in moderate temperatures. They require adequate sunlight and moisture to grow, and are often supported by trellises to keep the plants upright. Harvesting peas usually occurs when the pods are plump and green. Farmers can choose to sell fresh peas, or process them for freezing or canning. Pea farming is beneficial for soil health, as peas are nitrogen-fixing plants, which help improve soil fertility for future crops.
