It's cheaper to learn from his mistakes, rather than replicate his success. This is green house/vegetable quality inputs going into some of the best irrigated soil in the world. For 99% of farmers; there's someone better than you. This guy is the .01%. Congrats. Absolutely incredible work.
Congratulations from Australia. I think this is the wrong way to go about this contest. All input cost ,fertiliser,seed,sprays and applications cost and harvesting, should be included plus rainfall to give a true indication as who can grow the most profitable corn per hectare.
I can't imagine making 542 bu corn. I started with 200 bu corn 50 years ago in Texas for the contest and now 300. You must not have our weather to make that kind of corn.
I can't believe how much product these guys use. My father and i farm in iowa and don't use but maybe a 3rd of the product and hit good numbers almost every year depending on weather. No till/ non irrigated.
@@mattbarr4031 yes they use lot of product, it takes more for those numbers. its about winning, pushing the limits, and LEARNING. We farm in Iowa too. we had our best ever overall average yield on corn and beans last year, didnt change anything from previous years. was just a good year and genetics keep improving . I am 60 and back in 70's 80's 90's we averaged 120 to 160 on corn. last year was all 200+ to 246 average. best soybean average was 76. will be starting 2019 harvest by end of next week or following week. Hope you have a great harvest season.
Late coming in on this but using 1 bushel of corn x 60 lbs and 1 hectare = 2.41 acres here goes 542 x 60 = 32520 lbs or 14750.8 kg per acre or 35549.5 kgs or 35.55 tonnes per hectare. Think the math is close bushel weight is an educated guess
People in the world average 5~9 tonnes per hectare and this man did 36 tonnes per hectare? Did he figure out a way to inject corn with Botox or something! I'm not eating this.

OnA Mission I take it you're referring to the GOD of the Christian Bible ?The same GOD that put brother against brother ,wiped out the earth killing almost all human life including INNOCENT CHILDREN in a flood .The same GOD that demanded multiple sacrifices of animals and or people.The same GOD that was implicit in and or ordered the murder of innocent children and babies . The same GOD that had a favorite desert tribe that was justified in smiting all the countries around them and still are to this day because they are GODS chosen. Oh and btw nothing I have written here is "blasphemous " it is all in the good book.
I would be shocked if it was not a GMO (also called GE) variety. It is rare to find a commodity producer that plants conventional (non-GE/GMO) hybrids these days. Only folks I know who do plant non-GE are focused on higher value markets: food grade markets or supplying non-gmo feed mills for high value livestock production. As an organic producer I have never planted GE seed, but that's far from the norm.
grassfeeding That's what they would have us believe so we accept it as the norm ,but there are a lot of farmers still planting standard hybrids and they don't want to get on the Monsanto treadmill.
Iterman, I agree that there are a fair number of farmers out there planting conventional hybrids, but from an acreage standpoint it's small. 89% of US corn acres were planted to Herbicide tolerant genetically modified corn seed in 2017. I am involved in research on herbicide resistance and it's an arms race, the dicamba issue last year is a great example. This is a problem we won't spray our way out of.....herbicide development is slowing, and resistance is growing. Time to adopt more diverse rotations and grazing livestock integration. Genetic modification won't help us get out of the pickle that it got us in.
I did 160 and 190 in 2018, 2020 (2019 was cereals and legumes) being 100% organic no till. Sold it for double the money. I’ll take it! FULL DISCLOSURE: their were a lot of barely over 100 years before, so my “thing” isn’t the silver bullet. We’re all just doing our best! ADDITIONAL DUSCLISURE: I’m a certified climate change denier! I don’t buy any of that shit, and I’d brush my teeth with glyphosate and not be concerned. I JUST WANT TO BE FREE! Not a slave to the corporations!
Genesis Ag It is a saying we have in Australia, meaning so much reliance on chemicals and shit just to grow a crop ,Aussies say it how it is ,btw I am a fourth generation farmer and have seen farming degrade to a dependence on US biotech chemicals and witnessed the effect on the environment.
