Dry bean producer concerns were voiced during Tuesday’s Risk Management Agency listening session in West Fargo. Josh Ihry, who farms at Hope, North Dakota and is a member of the North Dakota Dry Bean Council, said the harvest price option could use a revamp to fit the needs of dry bean growers. “We support the ability to purchase a contract price versus a spring price.” Ihry said priorities for dry bean growers differ from corn, soybean and wheat farmers because there is no way to properly track price data without the use of dry bean buyers.
