With aging parents and hard times coming, it's how many beans do you plan to put up.
150 quarts a year is about right.
Do you know how many hours of hand shelling that is?
TOO many.

Ive never done butter beans.
I have snapped hundreds of bushels of green beans and shucked hundreds of bushels of corn.
That’s a lot of snapping and shuckin!

At 10 quarts shy of 5 bushels, why would you shell, instead of cutting & threshing?
I’m assuming you’re talking dry beans.
