Dry Edible Bean Interest SinksWASHINGTON - Mar 30/07 - SNS --Dry edible bean growers in the United States intend to plant 1.50 million acres in 2007, down 8% from both last year and 2005, according to the USDA's seeding intentions estimates for 2007. The decrease in planted acres can be attributed in part to strong prices for competing crops. Acreage declines are expected in 12 of the 18 dry bean estimating States. In North Dakota, the largest producing State, growers intend to plant 10,000 fewer acres. Nebraska shows the largest drop, down 40,000 acres from last year. In Idaho, disease pressure and strong prices for alternative crops have lowered acreage expectations for dry beans and chickpeas. Growers in many Colorado areas remain concerned about irrigation water shortages. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
