According to University of Guelph Weed Science Research Peter Sikkema, all dry bean growers should plan a two-pass weed control program that includes a soil-applied tank mix, followed by a post-emergence herbicide. Sikkema has over 30 years of experience in dry edible bean weed control. “Farmers can get up to a five dollar return for every dollar invested in weed management in edibles.”
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.
