Abstract

Northcentral Idaho traditionally produces in excess of 90% of the Austrian winter field peas (AWFP) grown in North America. AWFP are small- seeded, yellow cotyledon peas with purple-flecked seed coats which are produced on indeterminate vines bearing purplish flowers. The history of the AWFP industry in Idaho is reviewed from the initial introduction of AWFP from Austria in 1932 to the present. The potential for the future of this crop is explored.
