Intense concentration and fast hands to get our SCN hill plots in at Harrow. We'll dig these in 28 to 35 days with our tree digger machine. #drybeans

Double barreled planting action in St.Thomas. Thanks to @fergs14 for the cooperation to get this done! #drybeans @BeansAndGenes @OntBeanGrowers

#DryBean growers! Looking for fields in Middlesex & Huron County to sample for SCN in the next few weeks. Very interested in including sandy soils, and a couple known SCN-positive fields (even soys or peas). Please get in touch on Twitter or [email protected] Thanks! #Ontag

Winter peas at AAFC-Harrow. Good winter survival. Early varieties just starting to flower.

[HRC Dry Beans @BeansAndGenes]

Winter peas in London are enjoying the sunshine!

Sort of re-framing the "top priorities" questions. We are genuinely curious...

[Ontario Bean Growers @OntBeanGrowers]

We've been talking behind the scenes and are planning to do another #BeanTalk21 at some point. Would you like to do that pre-planting or post-planting? (or both)

[Ontario Bean Growers @OntBeanGrowers]

Growers - what are three things that really stress you out about growing dry beans? #BeanTalk21

[HRC Dry Beans @BeansAndGenes]

@drbeans1 @BECavanagh @drbeans1 what's your #1 recommendation?

[Chris Gillard @drbeans1]

What are grower priorities for white mold control in dry beans? #beantalk21

[Meghan Moran @megnmoran]

#BeanTalk21 Do growers have questions about fertility in dry beans? I have a sense that I have questions, but that growers know what they're doing☺️

[Ontario Bean Growers @OntBeanGrowers]

@ppauls2 would like to hear from growers - is there interest in pursuing more work in N fixation in dry beans because of the potential for loss of markets (due to the things going on in the EU and other locations). #BeanTalk21

[HRC Dry Beans @BeansAndGenes]

@megnmoran @cropdoc2 @Jamie_Larsen @OntBeanGrowers Has there been any comments that green patch shows up in seasons with dry periods when 'everything else remains the same'? #BeanTalk21
