Your tillage sounds fine for here. Beans don't need the soil contact that others (like milo) need. I'm not familiar with that drill, but surely it has closers of some kind on it. I wouldn't run the packer on it - that's just an additional pass over the field and compaction you don't need. I've drilled beans and planted beans both in the same year (this year, in fact).

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
