Gary Steiner, who farms near Hettinger, North Dakota, grows small grains, corn, sunflowers, and pulse crops. For the pulses, Steiner focuses on garbanzo beans for the pet food market. “If you get a few more splits it doesn’t make any difference because they grind ’em all up and put em into pet food,” Steiner told RRFN. “Our last harvest season was really dry so it was tough not getting these beans to split but that works in the pet food market.” Steiner is a member of the Northern Pulse Growers Association board of directors.
