Chebanse, IL.....
In NE IL, if you make it past frost/freeze, then your early plant beans are almost always target for bean leaf beetles. They search out the earliest emerging beans. If you could get the whole county to plant that date, you might lessen the impact. But, when you're the true bean "early-bird"...they're going to find your field.
