Even with dry conditions, NDSU Extension Plant Pathologist Sam Markell says the dry bean crop was challenged by disease. Markell will be part of the NDSU Dry Bean Production Workshop January 6 in Portland, North Dakota. The Dry Bean Scene is sponsored 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.
