U.S. Plants 5% More Beans Than Thought
WASHINGTON - Aug 10/12 - SNS -- This year's dry edible bean crop in the United States could reach 27.0 million cwt (100 pound units) or 1.225 million metric tons (MT), up 36% from last year, according to the USDA's first objective yield estimate for the crop.
Planted area is now estimated at 1.71 million acres, up 42% from 2011, and up 5% from the June estimate of 1,63 million acres. Harvested area is forecast at 1.67 million acres, 45% above the previous year. The average United States yield is forecast at 1,614 pounds per acre, a decrease of 102 pounds from 2011.
In North Dakota, planting began the end of April and was virtually complete by the first week of June, two weeks ahead of the 5-year average. As of July 29, 85% of the crop was setting pods. Topsoil moisture supplies were reported as adequate in the major growing regions.
