NENE
I am a fan of bagging beans for several reasons. Beans are dry going in. Corn usually is not and running fans is not an option. If you have green pods they will not separate and stick to bin walls and rot or plug the sump coming out. Beans do not flow like dry corn in a bin so more sweep auger time is needed to get them back out. Animals don't seem to bother bean bags as much as corn but don't take that for granted. Fill them on a slight upslope and seal the top end good and check often for rodent damage. About the only downside I can think of is you have more dollars worth of product out there only protected by a layer of plastic. Bags are easy to ignore but with diligent monitoring they can work well.
