This guy, and the guy he talks about are the people who aren't appreciated. Thank you for what you do.

Great video! Pretty cool to see. I've never seen these beans harvested before. We just do corn for grain and silage, sweetcorn, soybeans, alfalfa, and dry hay on our farm

[@tomcorcoran3401]

Thanks Mike, thought some people would like to see this!

[@congahead3813]

We're city folk and I was just wondering how do black beans grow and get harvested commercially. Thanks for the lesson and keep up the good work!

[@Thewaywefarm]

Thanks for watching and I hope you found it interesting.

[@JamesMcnichol-ss2oc]

We direct cut the blacks too. They can be difficult to load in a truck at night because of them being dark

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Looking good neighbor !! From Wyoming County NY, not far. I raise beef cattle, not alot but enough to keep busy lol

[@JamesMcnichol-ss2oc]

Get an air reel on the flex head crop feeds in way better and a set of bean lifters too. Cut a slight angle to planted rows lifters can pay for them selves in one season

[@stephanecome4234]

Nice vid. Plating lots of these this year - well, not at your scale.

[@tiger5551]

[@jameshoffman1047]

Cmon Tom, easy on the light red kidneys......😉 Keep up the good work

[@JamesMcnichol-ss2oc]

I’ve grown black beans up here in Ontario Canada since 2006.

[@Thewaywefarm]

Do you direct cut them? Thanks for watching

[@SamVigue-jl9qk]

Excellent work! How do we find the closest dry bean processor to western Missouri?

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

Is it a decent market for them around here

[@tomcorcoran3401]

Yes, 2 places up by us take them. Price is very good this year!

[@farmermatt629]

Neat crop wish I could raise something other than corn and soybeans in central illinois

[@rinuskremer612]

we grow black beans and corn

[@josececenas182]

Hey, great video, we also grow black beans and pinto beans here down in Durango, a state in the north of Mexico.
We have a 2004 JD 9760 STS but we have a problem, it splits the beans way too much, is there any chance you could upload a video where you show the settings on your combine?
We have tried different things but we get a lot of split beans.
Also, what kind of concaves do you use for the beans?
Regards! Keep the good work

[@Thewaywefarm]

Very interesting, is your 9760 a “bullet rotor”? That makes a difference because the bullet is a smoother transition. I will check my settings, I hope to start our black beans on Monday. If you have instagram my name is Farming_Sumbitch thanks for watching

[@josececenas182]

@@Thewaywefarm Hi, no, it's not a bullet rotor, I think it's from the prior generation...
Ok, great 👍
I'll be checking for your uploads and follow you on insta, thanks! 👍

[@JamesMcnichol-ss2oc]

I use a case ih 1688. We slow our clean grain elevator down the rock trap beater as well and set our front and back concaves lever to each other. I know I have red combine and you have a green on but we both have a clean grain elevator. I also run rotor as slow as possible.

[@elmayodezacatecas1804]

Is my first year growing beans in Mexico and is a gravy soil like that one can you please tell me what Caine and quantity of fertilizer you use

[@Thewaywefarm]

We use 250 pounds of liquid 7-21-7 as a starter fertilizer plus spread potash. Good luck

[@elmayodezacatecas1804]

Thanks a
How many kilos or pounds you get by an acre

[@ursledermann6618]

hey
great video
we also grow black beans in Switzerland
(organic)
What settings do you have on your combine harvester?
We always have quite a few halved beans
Best regards

[@Thewaywefarm]

That’s great. We run the cylinder very slow, open the concave so the beans don’t split and drive fast enough to keep it thrashing good. What do you harvest them with?

[@palmyras2902]

What is the cost for the harvester

[@Thewaywefarm]

We bought ours well used for under $100,000 New ones are over $500,000
