- [00:00:00.000]A Nebraska 2024 On-Farm Research Network
- [00:00:03.185]meeting was held in Alliance on Feb. 21
- [00:00:06.318]at the Knight Museum and Sandhills
- [00:00:08.500]Center. The meeting highlighted
- [00:00:10.452]collaborations with growers and Nebraska
- [00:00:12.613]Extension educators.
- [00:00:14.176]John Thomas, Nebraska Extension cropping
- [00:00:16.344]systems educator in Box Butte County, said
- [00:00:19.425]one of the studies included dry
- [00:00:20.829]bean varieties.
- [00:00:22.241]We’re looking at dry bean varieties and
- [00:00:25.121]how they perform. How they yield, how
- [00:00:27.832]they perform with direct harvest.
- [00:00:30.575]Thomas said direct harvest of dry beans
- [00:00:32.855]can be quick and efficient, but
- [00:00:34.435]there are challenges.
- [00:00:35.890]There are some important critical things
- [00:00:37.930]with direct harvest. You have to have the
- [00:00:39.501]right variety that is upright. Uhh, you
- [00:00:42.576]have to have a good level field surface.
- [00:00:45.197]You have to have the correct combine
- [00:00:47.867]header, like a, the flex draper headers
- [00:00:51.102]work well. And good weed management
- [00:00:54.678]and with those things in place, direct
- [00:00:58.898]harvest can be very successful and efficient.
- [00:01:01.961]Thomas said one aspect they
- [00:01:03.768]were also looking at in the project was
- [00:01:05.545]the architecture of the bean plants, as
- [00:01:07.699]low-hanging bean pods will have
- [00:01:09.486]unacceptable yield loss.
- [00:01:11.846]To learn more about on-farm research and
- [00:01:14.166]to get involved, contact your local extension office.
- [00:01:17.761]With the UNL Panhandle Research Extension
- [00:01:20.641]and Education Center in Scottsbluff,
- [00:01:22.513]I’m Chabella Guzman.
