Virginia Farmer David Hula set the highest yield on record at 616 bushels per acre in the National Corn Growers Association 2019 National Corn Yield Contest.
“In the back of my mind I knew it was achievable, I just didn’t know we would achieve it so soon,” he says. “That’s credit to management and the good lord lining all the stars up and giving us the sunlight and temperatures we needed to accomplish our goal.”
He placed first in the strip, minimum, mulch, ridge-till irrigated category while setting the world record.
