"This is the highest (acreage) we've seen," said Tammy Jones, executive director of the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association."We have anticipated this for a few years; finally, it's happened."Where soybeans grown in Manitoba are mostly used for livestock feed or non-genetically modified edible oil and are exported to European, Japanese and U.S. markets, the Classens' operation is one of few edamame productions in Canada, and their crop is specifically for human consumption."What the Classens are doing, for both pulse production and consumers, is exciting," said Jones.
