The following report was carried by DePutter Publishing’s e-morning news wire.
“Before rain fell over the weekend many edible bean producers were able to nearly complete harvest, reports Steinbachonline.com.
Agronomist Dennis Lange says the precipitation, in some respects, was welcomed noting rainfall last Thursday and Friday brought bean moisture levels back up to about 17% meaning less problems with cracking.
Lange feels producers still need about a week to finish all the odds and ends around the province.
Reports are that pintos range from 1,200 to 1,800 pounds per acre where excess moisture or dry conditions were an issue, but up to 3,000 pounds where conditions were ideal. Navies are reported at 1,600 to 2,200 pounds per acre.”
