What kind of yield boost on the beans do you expect from the land being corn for that long??
I had a 1/2 section last year that was 4 yrs COC the beans were 7 bpa better than anything else I had but this field is pattern tiled and one of the best pieces of ground that I farm (thus the reasoning for raising COC for 4 years) still think it was probably 5 bpa better because of the COC
As far as inoculate I used a cheaper liquid version and applied it myself, got a simple bean ladder that I put on the end of a conveyor and electric pump, worked good and more than paid for itself in one year, neighbor is a big believer in letting seed dealer put the full package on costs him 10+ $ an acre even told me he used the cheap stuff one time and the beans yielded 7 bpa less, I just nodded and said guess we'll see, this fall when my beans were X better than his said I was really surprised being I used that cheap inoculant and I got a nice 4 letter word followed by a you comment out of him.
