East Grand Forks farmer Chris Adams says some edible beans have struggled. “Most of the edibles are done, but we had one quarter of pink beans that started to grow again after we desiccated them.” Adams says they’ve been sitting on a few fields until they can finish up sugarbeet harvest, before wrapping up dry edible bean harvest.
