beans and other legumes are generally nitrogen 'fixers' - beneficial
bacteria on their roots will be able to utilize nitrogen from the air. They
do not need additional nitrogen. Corn usually does - you can use chemical
sources, or various manures, or, like the native Americans in New England,
bury a dead fish at the base of each plant.

I have just have planted several rows of green beans (pole beans).
What does anyone think about spreading urea on the soil before they
sprout I know farmers do this for soy beans
Also what does anyone think about putting nitrogen the soil with sweet
corn also another farming practice.
I do not know maybe there is better natural fetilizers that can be
used.
