Mike Pearson examines a new world record for soybean yields by a Georgia producer.
Alex Harrell set a new world record for soybean yields with 206.7997 bushel per acre Aug. 23.
Harrell set the record in Smithville, Ga. He broke the record by yielding more than 16 bushel per acre than the last record set.
Harrell entered the University of Georgia Extension yield contest with the help of Randy Dowdy who set the last record in 2019. This is making many growers in the south rethink how they can maximize soybean production.
Harrell grew corn in the plot in 2022 and planted a cover crop last winter.
