Forest River Bean Company Manager Brian Schanilec says dry bean harvest is virtually wrapped up. “We had really uneven emergence this spring and the continuation of drought brought us below average in tonnage.” Schanilec is still pleased with how harvest went though. A lack of rain during the growing season hit the crop in his area hard.
