We grow a good amount of beans around here. Some are full season beans planted just after corn, and some short season beans planted after barley and wheat. The full season beans will yield in the 50-70 bu range, and the shorts in 15 to 40 depending on the weather. They will hold off on podding until they get rain and are pretty tolerant of dry weather. Some folks drill them here with a grain drill, while others plant them with a corn planter with bean cups in 15 or 30" rows. Most guys have AHHC and use a flex head to combine them. Late date for planting here is about July 15th, and that may vary for where you are. They are losing their leaves now and harvest will start in the next few weeks, but I've seen them being combined while it was starting to snow in November. The population is usually somewhere around 180,000 ppa, but seed amounts may vary per bushel because of seed size used, +/- 2 bu per acre. Good luck, Steve. They don't cost as much as corn and can pay more if they yield good, and are great in a corn-bean rotation.
