Did you know that the United Nations declared 2016 the international year of pulses? A pulse is the name given to edible seeds of legumes, including dry peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas. They're a delicious and affordable source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Doug Crabtree, a dryland pulse and grain farmer. Crabtree owns and operates Vilicus farms, a 4,700-acre organic operation north of Havre, MT. He explains his farming philosophy, greatest challenges, and farm policies he would change to create greater national food security. Produced by Dan Hemmelgarn.
