Dumas Seed Company warehouse
The Dumas Seed Company warehouse, located in Pullman, Washington at 110 Whitman Street, is a steel pre-engineered structure that served for several decades as an agriculture storage facility for dry peas harvested from farms around the Palouse region. The warehouse served as a storage depot for a series of agricultural growers, before its conversion into an RV and boat storage facility in 2002 its current owners. Centrally located in Pullman's "Original Town Neighborhood," the structure is also central to the city's historical roots in agriculture and farming.〔Washington Department of Engineering, Subdivision Map, North Half of Section 5, City of Pullman, Washington, May 19, 1972. Pullman Grain Growers commissioned the structure as a seed warehouse to store dry peas in the late 1958-9 for the Stokely Van Camp Company.〕
== Peas on the Palouse ==
Dry peas are an important rotation crop in the Palouse region, along with lentils and garbanzo beans. As a nitrogen-fixating plant, the legumes replenish the soil and enhance the area's wheat production. Farmers harvest the variety of peas planted on the Palouse after they are completely dry. The purpose of seed warehouses is to store the peas until the farmer is ready to sell them, either for a higher price or for supplemental operating funds. Local farms produce twenty-five percent of the nation's dry peas and lentil. During WW II, area farmers shipped 60 million pounds of dry peas to war-torn areas.〔Whitman County Historical Society, "Peas and Thank-you," Moscow-Pullman Daily News, Weekend Edition, 14–15 April 2012, 3D.〕 Dry peas fulfill a variety of purposes for both human and animal consumption, including Campbell's split-pea soup packets and as a supplemental ingredient for animal feed.
