Snap Bean Output Slips 2%WASHINGTON - Sep 7/06 - SNS -- Contracted production of snap beans in the United States is forecast at 768,070 tons, down 2% from comparable States last year, according to the USDA. Based on comparable States between 2005 and 2006, contracted harvested acreage went down 4%, while yield per acre increased 0.12 ton per acre. In Wisconsin, early heat and dry conditions in the northwest part of the State led to lower yields. However, good conditions later in the season helped to improve yields. Oregon's harvest began the second week of July. Harvesting in Washington County was completed by mid-August. In New York, despite the torrential rains received during May and June in the central and eastern sections, yield is reported to be higher than last year's crop. Harvest is progressing well with no major pest or disease problems reported. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
