Thinking of growing beans but looking around this years there’s a lot of very weedy bean crops. Having never grown them before is there limited weed control available? Potentially thinking of 130ha of them so wanting to know we can do it right.
When do you think you will cut them?What soil type are you on ?
Grown some Spring beans this year weed levels been pretty low pre em worked well conditions were good when applied .
On some moderately heavy soil which is normally not too bad for weed population .
Look a way off at minute next few days look like being quite warm .....reckon 2 weeks time ish ?!When do you think you will cut them?
Hopefully be able to sell em ?!! Heard £217 /t Reliable Break crops and profitable ...... hard to come by these daysWho you going to sell them to nobody wants them. They can be clean if you get a good stand+ pre em
Agree alot of dependence on a good yielding crop ....!! Low inputs and good following wheat crop hopefully compensate ....will let you know how yield turns out ...keeping everything crossed they have looked ok all year .....Beans @ £217 & profitable shouldn’t be in the same sentence...

If the land hasn't grown beans before there is potential for a good crop, and no N requirement is looking like a big benefit this year. Drill them deep and leave the pre em as long as you dare.Not filling me full of confidence guys and with the price of the seed I think we might not bother. Might buy a load of feed beans though …….
We used to find springs were ready just as soon as winters . Used to get them in September . I always remember that I was combining beans on 9/11.We are growing a few winter beans this year as I don’t want to be combining springs in Nov.
Agree with you there, with fert nearing £400/t and I'm guessing shortages occurring down the line in other inputs then Beans will be a safe bet.If the land hasn't grown beans before there is potential for a good crop, and no N requirement is looking like a big benefit this year.
