NDSU Extension hosting Dry Bean webinar Feb. 17

NDSU Extension is inviting farmers and crop advisers in search of research-based dry bean production recommendations to attend the upcoming Getting It Right in Dry Bean Production webinar on February 17. This educational event, organized by NDSU Extension and sponsored by the Northarvest Bean Growers Association, is designed to address key agronomic challenges faced by dry bean producers in North Dakota.

According to Ana Carcedo, NDSU Extension broadleaf crops agronomist, last year presented difficulties for dry bean producers, particularly in managing white mold and other agronomic challenges. The upcoming webinar aims to provide participants with research updates and practical recommendations to assist them in making informed decisions for the upcoming 2026 growing season.
