Dry Bean Scene

This week’s Dry Bean Scene features a crop update from Walsh County, North Dakota area. The dry edible bean crop is in very good conditions, even excellent in some pockets. This program on the Red River Farm Network is made possible, in part, by the Northarvest Bean Growers Association.

Founded in 1976, Northarvest Bean Growers Association (NBGA) represents the largest group of dry bean farmers in America, working together to fund research, promote, and produce the finest beans in the world.

NBGA works to better the dry bean industry through promotion, field & nutrition research, market development, monitoring governmental policy, advocating for greater consumer choices, and focusing on the needs of our producers.

NBGA advocates for its 2,400+ farm families across MN & ND that grow dry beans and is committed to strengthening the relationship between growers, industry partners, and consumers across the world.
