Below Average Manitoba Bean Harvest
WINNIPEG - Oct 18/05 - SNS -- Manitoba's dry edible bean harvest is "well-below average in terms of yields and quality" notes Louis Dreyfus Canada Ltd.
"Many acres were lost entirely amidst last June's heavy rain, and those fields that came through have been yielding just 700 to 800 pounds per acre," the company said in a recent review of the crop.
The company's comments continue:
Harvest isn't yet complete in Manitoba but at this stage, it's believed that the year's best bean crops are already in the bin, and that crops still standing will yield much lower than what's been seen so far.
Anyone with beans not yet harvested likely didn't get them seeded early, or faced some other problem that caused the crop to mature unevenly. Highly variable plant maturity levels within fields can lead to a high percentage of immature green beans in the sample, or lots of splits. Either way, it causes yields to suffer.
