Beans are still worth some money, so no one just isn’t bothering to combine them.
They should be 13% moisture or less. Unlike corn, it’s not so common to dry them. So we wait to harvest. This year, that proved to be a mistake in many parts of the country. Instead of drying, they actually got wetter. The discounts get real bad at 15% moisture and above; some places won’t take beans over 17 or 18% moisture.
And now the ground is wet, or snow covered, and it is a real bad deal.
Some small areas also got bean damage. The bean shriveled up and rotted in the pod. If more than 7% damage in som3 markets, no one will buy them. That is a bad deal..... insurance might pay to have those plowed under.
Anyhow, you try as long as you can. I’ve taken the combine out in April and got some wet spots from the previous year. Doesn’t yield well, but you try.
In hind sight, folks shoulda went out and combined the beans when they were at 17% moisture. Don’t expect it to remain this wet this bad all fall.
