Grass@sh.itjust.works 6 days agowhat the hell is a bean field? also beans are great with corn they climb the stalks, also have squash, then boom you have the so called three sisters.
I am aware of, and deeply intrigued by, the three sisters method. It’s just not a commercially viable method of growing those crops; I don’t know what the harvest would look like.
We need to grow a lot more industrial hemp, but I’m afraid that’s a bit of a pipe dream unless we change…literally everything.
We have neighbors with tons of hemp bales mouldering in the field because the processors won’t take them because they don’t have anywhere to sell them to. Maybe it’s incompetence, or maybe the hemp hype isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There aren’t a lot of people willing to grow it anymore.
Never heard of the battle of the beanfield?

Bush beans are a thing? Soybeans don’t climb either, and it’s the most common bean grown in the US.
