Tepary beans eyed for Benson canning venture
Professor Stanley F. Morse of the University of Arizona discusses tepary beans as a potential canning product to Benson’s new factory. He cites Van Camp’s trial results showing higher yield per weight when canned, and notes the beans suit dry farm areas like Elgin and Sonoita. Dixon considers a trial to boost year round production.
