U.S. Snap Bean Output Slips 2%WASHINGTON - Sep 2/05 - SNS -- Contracted production of snap beans is forecast at 765,190 tons, down 2% from comparable States last year, according to the USDA. Based on comparable States between 2004 and 2005, contracted harvested acreage went down less than 1%, while yield per acre declined 0.06 ton per acre. Wisconsin growers indicated a good year for processing snap beans despite above average temperatures and below average rainfall in most areas of the State. There were reports of cucumber mosaic virus in some areas. The Michigan harvest began at the end of July for early snap beans. Harvest picked up through August. Warm and dry temperatures allowed good growth and development. In mid-August, standing water damaged some acreage but harvest continued in the unaffected areas.
