I'm in the same boat you are Erik-- I'm in Marion County KS, and it is dry, dry, dry-- not quite 5" rain in May, June and July. I still haven't swathed beans, but some of the good, respected producers have. Quite a few beans were hayed last year, didn't hear of any problems feeding, but I think most were ground up and mixed with other hay. Ensilaging the beans works, but you better have your own equipment-- custom silo fillers here like to charge a minimum per acre.
