Hankinson, North Dakota farmer Joe Mauch started his dry edible bean harvest two weeks ago. “We’re about about half done. The first ones were kind of average and the stuff we have left is not very good. They’re really short; they’re really green. It’s just a hit-and-miss thing I guess. Too much water.” The sugarbeets and soybeans are next on the harvest schedule. “We’ve got a good field, we’ve got a bad field and all over in between.”
