Coyne Variety


This past week, Dave had the opportunity to go out and look at Coyne fields with Carlos Urrea from the UNL Extension.  It appears that they were extremely pleased with the results they were seeing out in the field.  Only one field was a bit disappointing but it was under an extreme set of circumstances.  Overall, I hear really good things about Coyne!

For those of you that may not know much about this variety, it is a mid-season (90-92 day) Great Northern bean.  Some of it's characteristics include semi-upright growth with short vines, bred specifically for enhanced resistance to common bacterial blight, common rust, and for adaptation to Nebraska's growing conditions (Source:  2011 Seed Variety Information from Stateline Bean Producers Cooperative).
