Jhill, That may be $28.00 per bu. before dockage. Dry beans are very suceptable to splitting, molds, rust, and army worms. By the time the elevator charges for drying plus dockage, there isn"t much money left. Mid-michigan used to be the navy bean capital of the universe, but production has dwindled steadly over the last 10 to 15 years to the point that a lot of farmers have quit raising navy beans as well as other edibles such as black, great northerns, and kidneys. The net money just isnt there. I was talking to a friend of mine who always grew edibles, and he has backed down to i/10th the acres while at the same time has increased his total acerage of farming by 200% in the last 5 yrs. I asked why he even bothered with edibles, if that was the case, and the only reason he could give is that it was something he had always done, and he had the equipment, and didnt want it to sit unused, and it wasnt worth that much to sell.
