Made it to the farm today

Bill, the year after we were decimated by ehd I had a lot of beans left and so I disked them in May and it turned out to be another good stand of beans for the new year.

I may try that.

Lots of beans left so no one went hungry this winter.

I would have to have guard dogs surrounding my fields to get beans to that level. 😳

What variety are they as almost every other bean has shattered by now

Enlist E3
Just what the local seed guy had in liberty ready.

I think the whole shattering thing is overblown. I've only had it happen once, and have many beans overwinter.

I am wondering if it's more temp and moisture.It's not uncommon for them to shatter if not cut close to when they are dry,you might have a few weeks,maybe more if it stays wet out.

That is a lot of beans left over, would you say they ate half the beans in that plot?

With the MG screen, how long ago was it planted?

Probably half. The hidden spots got hit much harder.

That MG was planted in 2015 so 7 growing seasons. Man time flies.
