If you can't find a supplier, you HAVE found a new business niche.  Dry beans outside of Big Ag looks to be a growing market.

Subject: [Market-farming] Soup - Dry Bean Sources

I am looking for enough soup bean seed source to plant 2 to 3 acres this year.  I am mechanically planting and harvesting them this year.

I've grow several heirloom varieties and newer hybrids.  The one I am looking for this year was labeled by several companies as just "Southwestern Black Bean" which is a poor description and quite generic.  Its about the same size as a soybean though not perfectly round and all that I harvested last year seem to pass through the bean planters for

The problem I have is finding a good source where I can order enough beans to fill my grain drill.  I need to order several hundred pounds.

Buying them a couple hundred seeds at a time is not an option.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers!
