David Hula is no stranger to breaking yield records. The Virginia farmer has topped the NCGA National Corn Yield Contest five times since 2003 in the strip, min, mulch, ridge-till irrigated category. The previous world record of 542 bushels per acre, set by Hula in 2017, has been shattered by his 2019 yield of 616.1953 on ground he strip-tills with the SoilWarrior.
Despite adverse growing conditions that impacted most farmers in 2019, improved seed varieties, advanced production techniques, and innovative growing practices allowed corn growers to achieve impressive yields across all categories.
