Yes, just remove the spreader. No reason discharge will plug any more than with spreader on. I'm sure he wants the bean straw for bedding - not feed. And it doesn't make very good bedding either in my opinion. As for nutrients - any time anything is taken off the field, you lose nutrients - be it grain, stalks, or straw. However, if he has cattle, he's probably spreading manure on fields you may be farming in which case you are getting free fertilizer.
