Before the recent rain, dry edible beans were under stress. Kelley Bean Company Regional Manager John Bartsch says last week’s moisture was timed perfectly. According to Bartsch, most dry bean fields are in perfect condition with the exception being in parts of Pembina County in northeast North Dakota where was too much rain. “If you have standing water in fields for 24-to-48 hours, those plants will be dead. In Pembina County, the ditches were so full, the fields were just sitting there like a bathtub.”
