Good luck, rxkeith! We've been getting a crazy amount of rain in SE PA (as, I think, MI has on and off this year), so it's a challenge to get beans to dry properly. Bush beans are the biggest problem with the pods under the foliage and often touching the ground. Pole beans are better but I also get seeds sprouting in the pods as they mature. Clearly some varieties perform better than others, so I'm really starting to like the ones that shed water better than others.

In contrast, MA has been dry this year, so hopefully Tormato will have a good yield!

I need a barn so I can pull plants and let the pods dry on the vines under cover!
