Montana’s pulse growers have long been leaders—in the field, in the lab, and at the table. As the top producer of dry peas, lentils, and chickpeas in the United States, Montana continues to shape the future of agriculture one pulse crop at a time. Today, we’re proud to launch a new resource to help strengthen that leadership: the official blog of the Montana Pulse Crop Committee.
This blog will serve as our digital front porch—an open space where we share what’s happening in Montana’s pulse industry, why it matters, and how checkoff dollars are being invested to build a more profitable, resilient, and sustainable future.
We’re kicking things off at an exciting time. With the adoption of our 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, the Montana Pulse Crop Committee has sharpened its focus on four key priorities: building internal strength, expanding domestic and international markets, communicating and educating pulse producers, and accelerating innovation across the industry. These pillars will guide the content you’ll find here—from updates on checkoff-funded research and market development, to grower success stories, agronomy tips, and timely policy updates.
This blog is more than a news feed—it’s a tool for collaboration. Whether you’re a Montana farmer looking for the latest on pulse crop best practices, a policymaker following industry trends, or a business exploring how to partner with Montana’s growers, this is where we’ll keep the pulse on the pulse industry.
Thank you for visiting. Be sure to subscribe, follow us on social media, and check back often. Together, we can grow more than just crops—we can grow trust, opportunity, and lasting impact.
Let’s get to work.
