Record Lentil Crop Anticipated in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan farmers will be seeding a record-sized lentil crop for the fourth consecutive year.
 
A survey of farmers by Statistics Canada indicates lentil area will jump 31 per cent in Saskatchewan, which accounts for the vast majority of domestic production.
 
Strong prices and demand from India are responsible for the increased interest.

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things.
