Above Average Bean Seeding Progress

WASHINGTON - May 24/21 - SNS -- Planting of this year's dry edible bean crop is now roughly 41% complete in the United States, with farmers in many areas taking advantage of dry conditions to plant crops.

Conditions remain mixed across the United States, with North Dakota reporting drought conditions across much of the state. By contrast, rainfall eased the worries of growers in Montana.
