We are in the final week of the 2024 green bean season. While early July brought heavy rainfall, which impacted harvesting and processing, September’s weather has been ideal, allowing us to harvest high-quality beans. Overall, green bean yields have been average, but given the late stage in the season, we are pleased with the outcome.
