Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday January 13, 2021
Tony and Francis Gaudet of Bellevue, Sask. have been named Pulse Promoters of the year.
The Gaudet brothers operate Belle Pulses Ltd. processing yellow and green split peas for sale to the global market. Founded in 1979, Belle Pulses is one of the largest processors of split peas in Canada.
The family business began with Grandfather Jean Gaudet, who sold yellow peas to Catelli in Montreal in 1950. Jean’s son Ron Gaudet took over the family business, building a small processing plant on his farm and eventually passed the family business on to Tony and Francis.
The Gaudet’s have grown the Belle Pulses company business to include a second processing plant in Duck Lake, Sask., as well as an elevator service in Montana.
