Wow, @bibtom13, thank you! So you did farming with your dad? That is neat. Beans are time consuming to harvest aren't they. When we lived in the midwest we planted black beans in our garden, they were pretty easy to grow. Although since they are so small, it takes quite a few to accumulate enough for a meal, lol I think you would like sauteed sweet potatoes, made it a bit crispy which I liked. Too bad you can't eat the plantain, it was a nice sweet surprise.

Our harvesting was all mechanized, with some fairly exotic equipment. Beans were planted and raised in 'rows' that we cut then windrowed at night to maximize the moisture. They dried for a few days then we harvested them with an 'ordinary' combine that was specifically set up for beans. I actually loved the whole process...
