At the Michigan Bean Commission we have long considered canning quality to be a very important factor in developing and evaluating dry bean varieties. This year we are able to share/demonstrate differences and outcomes with you virtually. If you haven’t participated in the past this is a great opportunity to better understand the process and experience the results if your schedule allows. This meeting covered both the visual results of dry bean canning, as well as a tutorial by USDA-ARS on how to properly evaluate dry beans!
