Scouting my beans.

This is the first year I have ever planted any beans. Ma alfalfa field was done for (9 yrs) so I wanted to rotate in some beans. All the naysayers were talking doom and gloom, major drought. But my Grandpa always said, never plant for failure.
So I put them in early ( for SD) on 28 Apr, and I planted group1 early maturity. I pulled a plant this morning and there were 94 pods on it . Most of them 3 beans, some 4. I am no expert but I have never heard of beans like that. What do you guys have?
 
planted heavy [180.000] and I have 60-80 pods 3to5 beans per pod 3 to 7 to a cluster so when I cut we will see what the yield is
 
That sounds like 60+ BPA to me. I am only at 140K. Ru twice. A few hoppers, they are less than 1/2 inch in length and less than 10% leaf eaten. Probably will have record crop hailed on in mid August.
 
Well if you take the 10% off that wont germinate - another 5% that are spilled or dropped when the planter was raised or just don't grow your down to 152.000 population so it's not all that heavy. My drilled beans were planted at 200.000 population so I figure they are at 170.000 and plant 170.000 population in 20 inch rows. So you may not be planting as heavy as you think. Bandit
 
If you put beans in a field that has never had beans before it makes a big difference. There is no disease pressure that builds up after years of bean production. Could be a 10 bushel plus advantage. It also helps bean yields when the beans are planted maybe every 4 years in a field rather than a bean corn bean rotation.

Sounds like your beans will do well.
