Kansas Bean Harvest

Got started cutting beans on Tuesday. The first field averaged 35 bu, which is very good for the extremely dry spring and summer. There was some very good spots and extremely thin spots. We have a machinery shed next to where I took the pictures of the combines, and so it is very thin around there due to driving on them early on moving machinery in and out. First field was 60 acres and this is at my Brothers house.

It looks like the beans at my house might be a little better, but you never know until they are in the bin. That is the picture I took earlier in the year. A little over 80 acres here. At my Mom's, they look about the same as here at my house. Again, not great, but with the weather we had, I am just glad to get anything. Central Kansas.

Nice pics thanks for sharing . I've got 20 acres of beans to cut but they are not quite ripe got planted late because of super wet spring
 
The harvest hasnt started yet here in my part of mid-Michigan. Beans are turned about half way right now. We have had two nights of frost so far.

I see you have a 7720. I use to run beans with a 6620 Titan II. By far my favorite combine to run. I don't care for these joystick machines these days.
 
A few fields of very green looking beans were harvested here north of Hesston in the past few days. The no-till drills were close behind the combines; in one field I saw the combine, grain cart, and air seeder working nearly side-by-side. We're starting about five days of predicted rain (it's sprinkling right now as I type this) so guys were probably anxious to get the beans off and the wheat in the ground.
 
We haven't started in NEKS. I got the new stainless in the 9500 yesterday and a seal in the bottom of the wobble box. The old beast should be about ready to roll. Unless I find something when I grease it. It poured today and there are chances through Monday, so I have time to replace the chopper hammers and anything else that comes up. I sure hope we aren't mudding them out this year.
