In an effort to share our bounty, the Emerson Purple Hull Pea Promotion Board has been formed to encourage and assist growers in our area, and develop markets for Emerson Purple Hulls. To be eligible to carry the designation "Emerson Purple Hull Peas," they must be grown within the 199 square mile area defined by the current Emerson School District. If you're interested in a source of Emerson Purple Hulls, contact Emerson Purple Hull Promotion Board Executive Director Tommy Butler at (870) 547-2795 or Bill Dailey at (501) 315-7373 or email purplehull@juno.com. If you're a resident of our area interested in becoming a grower, contact Tommy Butler at 547-2795, or email him at tbutler@cei.net. The Emerson Purple Hull Promotion Board would like to express our extreme gratitude to Lake Sue Nursery & Farm Supply of Magnolia, Arkansas, Bunch Wholesale, Inc. (BWI) of Texarkana, Texas, and C.T. Smith Seeds of Pleasanton, Texas, for their wonderful assistance in getting our efforts underway. Thanks to their kind donations of seed, we have been able to encourage more growers to begin growing Emerson Purple Hulls. Lake Sue Nursery has a long history of supporting us - they are also the sponsors of the World Cup PurpleHull Pea Shelling Competition.
