The latest crop production estimate from the USDA puts 2010 production for all dry beans at 1.39 million metric tons [30.7 million bags (cwt.)] - up 21% over last year. This would be the largest dry edible bean crop since 2002.
Planted area is forecast at 1.78 million acres, up 2%  from the June report and 16% over last year. The average yield is forecast at 1,798 pounds per acre, an increase of 65 pounds from 2009. The five largest producing States; North Dakota, Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Idaho, are forecasting higher production than last year.
Acreage of Navy beans increased by 28% over 2009, while Pinto bean area increased 12%. Great Northern plantings increased 53% from 2009 and Black bean area increased 41%.
North Dakota, the USA’s largest bean producing state is experiencing good growing conditions.  Crop conditions in most other States are also rated good to excellent.

June 30^th marked an important date.  Acreage numbers were released in the USA.  And in Ontario it marks the deadline for reporting acres for crop insurance.  As well it is the deadline for Ontario producers to declare their intention to grow white beans outside of the pooling system.
The US report is aggregated by State and Market class (pinto, navy, black, etc.) The US numbers show a jump of 13% – all classes and Navy bean acres at 223,300 acres is a 14.8% increase.  The US numbers came in pretty much as expected but lower than internal OBPMB estimates.
In Ontario a late surge in reporting of acres show WPB planting just shy of 80,000 acres substantially above industry guesses (65K) and well above what initial seed sales would indicate. 
The other major growing region Manitoba has industry guessing 60,000 acres however inclement weather has perhaps diminished those expectations.
In total North America may have a crop base of between 360 – 370,000 acres which may be enough to replenish the supply pipeline if overall yields can maintain or surpass trend of 1700 lb. per ac. otherwise 2010 may be a squeaker.
