Field peas are a widely grown crop for seed, forage, and as a green manure, suppressing weeds with rampant, viny growth. Peas plants are succulent, and break down quickly after incorporation. Field peas can be harrowed to reseed once the crop's seed matures, providing two pea crops for the price of one. They can also be harvested for dry peas, although removing the seed also removes most of the nitrogen; plow under or harrow in for optimal nitrogen addition.
