They exist. Don’t know if it’s legal to move them across national borders. But I’m sitting next to a dude at a conference that works at a Canadian wing of our system.
Can SD be the first guy to get group 000 beans in the states? I’ll keep ya posted. This is in case the 00’s don’t finish up soon enough for me.

I've got a buddy that grows plenty of beans west of Bemidji. I would think your 00 beans should finish out ok.

The earliest bean I sell is a 00.5 in the book. Most of what I sell in EC MN are 1.1-1.5 maturity soybeans. In Missouri I use 4.5 maturity beans. Funny how each area has developed the beans that work best for the different climates.

I’ve seen fields come out 2nd week of September around Fargo and wonder what maturity those are. |

I’ve seen fields come out 2nd week of September around Fargo and wonder what maturity those are. if its hot and dry in august mid sept to late sept we can harvest. But last year I used up some left over customer beans in one field. They consisted of 05, 09, 1.1, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 maturity beans. all were ready to combine withing 5 days of each other last year. |

Down here in SE MN farmers frequently double crop soybeans after canning company pea crops. I'm not sure what maturity beans they use, but barring an early frost they mature in time to be harvested with the rest of the soybeans. They don't seem to get quite as tall as the beans planted at the standard time, but they are impressive considering how short of a growing season they are working with.

This idea was shut down by border problems. Gonna have to go it alone with Pembina, ND beans.  |

I figured you might have an issue getting those down here, but I figured with your Ag connections, you of all people might have a shot. I found the same thing a few years back when I was looking up some info on soys, alfalfa, and sorghum. They just won't allow some varieties to be shipped south of the Canuck line and vice versa. |

I’m organizing a special envoy to the northern border to scout out smuggler crossings to get some into the country. Might take a couple years to find a supplier, a path, a mule, and a cover story. “South Dakota man arrested smuggling soybeans into the states via the stomach cavities of northern pike.” |
