FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Non-GMO crop contracts are forward agreements that define pricing, delivery windows, and quality specifications before planting. PURIS offers structured production contracts for yellow field peas and select soybean programs.

We offer proprietary non-GMO yellow field peas, non-GMO soybeans, and non-GMO corn hybrids. Availability varies by region.

A Full Production Contract means PURIS commits to purchasing 100% of your contracted pea yield (and soybean yield in eligible regions) under defined pricing and quality specifications established before planting.

Pricing is locked in before planting through a forward contract. Terms, delivery windows, and quality specifications are defined before production.

Eligible contracts include Act-of-God protection for verified production shortfalls caused by uncontrollable events such as drought, hail, or flooding.

Standard contracts operate on Buyer’s Call. Delivery is completed before the next crop year. For example, the July 2025 harvest would be delivered by June 30, 2026. Payment is net 30 days from delivery per load.

Yes. Whether you farm 50 acres or 5,000, our program is structured to support operations of varying sizes.

No. PURIS crops integrate into most standard row-crop equipment and existing rotations. Equipment must be cleaned to maintain identity preservation and food-grade standards.

No. Desiccants are not permitted on yellow field peas. PURIS supports natural dry-down and provides harvest timing guidance.

Organic systems rely on rotary hoe and tine weeder passes until canopy closure, typically at 6–8 inches in height. Conventional systems may utilize approved herbicides; glyphosate is restricted on peas during the growing cycle.

Planting timing is determined based on regional conditions to establish strong stands and maximize yield potential. Depending on geography, planting may range from January through late May. Harvest typically occurs 95–110 days after planting, depending on heat unit accumulation. Growers provide a harvest sample for approval before processing.

Yes. We offer both organic and conventional programs, with support tailored to organic systems.

Yes. We work with growers across the U.S. and can provide guidance based on proven transition pathways and peer experience.

At PURIS, regenerative agriculture focuses on rebuilding soil health, protecting water resources, and enhancing biodiversity. Crops like yellow field peas and non-GMO soybeans naturally fix nitrogen, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers and supporting long-term soil productivity.

PURIS is vertically integrated and 100% U.S.-based, connecting growers directly to food-grade markets through proprietary seed genetics and domestic processing infrastructure. Backed by domestic processing infrastructure across five U.S. facilities.

We partner with growers across the Red River Valley, Upper Midwest, Cornbelt, Western Cornbelt, High Plains, Southern Plains, Delta, and San Luis Valley.

Proprietary seed genetics, agronomic support, structured production contracts for eligible crops, coordinated logistics, and defined payment timelines.
