Area bean crops are looking good, Treasure Valley Seed Field Representative Cheri North said recently during a quiet moment on a busy day.
Harvest is in full swing, after having started in late August, across the roughly 4,000 acres of beans growing in the area. The average yield has been about 32 bags per grower — the benchmark is 25 bags, North said, with growers typically coming with between 30 and 32 bags after dropping off their trucks.
Many beans are grown in the area, North said in a 2024 Tribune story, including pintos, black beans and white northerns.
Rain has put moisture back into the crops, North said, and she’s hoping for an average overall yield provided the crops don’t receive too much rain.
