Before August 1st. where I live Southern Il. I know
sounds kinda late. Some made 20 bu here planted
August 15th. It kept raining and flooding the low
ground last year. Some farmers planted 5 times!

July 4th here.

Some plant until the 10th after peas, but that isn't safe.

Reading the question, I first thought when is the earliest to
plant beans? But I guess it is the latest.

Anyhow, totally meaningless either way, without a location.
Beans respond to daylight hours as well as frost, so it all
depends where you are. In a dry summer, I've seen people
plant beans the first week of July, and no rain until August, so
they first sprouted mid August. That didnt go well of course.

Is anything in farming really safe? We just go with averages,
and guess the weather, guess the climate, etc.
