Marquette, Mich. - The Upper peninsula, agriculturally speaking, has its eye on a downstate farmer, starting in on a new place in Baraga county, who planted some strange seed beans that he had picked up, no one, not even the planter, knows where.
The Upper peninsula was not a bean country; they couldn't be grown successfully, farmers said.
But in the fall of 1930 the farmer harvested a good sized crop. An agricultural agent noticed it, and spread the word.
This year at least 200 acres of beans have been planted.
The bean, apparently some form of Japanese plant which thrives better here than in Japan, is expected to be raised in paying quantities within a few years as a result of the downstate farmer's "foolishness."
