We love growing faba beans! Easy to grow and helps diversify crop rotations.
Faba beans like late season moisture so irrigation or wet areas of the prairies are needed. Faba beans can be seeded very early so we seed them early April if we can.
Faba beans also have resistance to Aphanomyces root rot a new challenge for pea growers in Western Canada
