Soybean School - World Record Soybeans - Randy Dowdy

Here's a soybean school interview with yield champ grower Randy Dowdy. We're discussing how he grew a world record 171 bushels per acre.

[@milkweed7678]

Hi! That is remarkable!! How many acres did he get this 171 bushel yield on? None of these videos usually tell acreage for the beans or corn. Good Luck to all in 2020. This is exciting. Thanks for sharing.

[@milkweed7678]

@@UserUser-zc6fx Fantastic! Great job! Very meaningful testing amount.

[@nailwall1078]

That's 1 acre

[@Furbabies320]

So, exactly what did you DO increase your yield? Please explain.

[@DLinton]

Through science and data; gotta love it.

[@RJ1999x]

Translation big chemical companies are behind him

[@DLinton]

@@RJ1999x In sandy soils of Georgia, I agree. After seeing some of the yield maps and talking with him, it didn't look as promising as it first seems. Thanks for replying; my comment doesn't hold up very well.

[@RJ1999x]

@@DLinton I've been involved in farming to long to buy into this ultra high yield hype. I want to know maximum profit per acre and return on investment. If I have to.sprnd $2000 an acre to get $1999 back I'm not very interested

[@mattarnold3847]

171 bpa wow. I'd like to know the tillage used and chemical applications.

[@RJ1999x]

Money made? 0

[@mattarnold3847]

0 money made what makes you say that

[@RJ1999x]

@@mattarnold3847 Everytime I've seen these ultra high yields the cost to achieve it ,is far above the value of the crop. Spend $1000 and acre to make $950 doesn't work

[@chester8420]

@@RJ1999x you mean spend $1000 per acre to make $1600? Sounds fine to me. 171bu/ac remember?! Haha

[@RJ1999x]

@@chester8420 171 bu is equal to $1368 an acre, and I bet the expense is over that

[@eduong68]

would love to hire a consultant firms or person that specialized in farming soybeans.. any recommendation would greatly appreciated

[@xyzMrtalkshow]

Me too

[@idontcare1762]

Would you put underground drip irrigation on a hill farm? I am undecided between pivot irrigation and underground drip irrigation.

[@isaacbauer1858]

Max Sr. A lot of available sprinkler packages that work great for hilly ground on center pivot systems. Usually on top rotary sprinklers, impact sprinklers have too much water loss, especially on hot days. But you still need to spread out your water pattern in order to avoid run off.

[@indianarowcrop8313]

is this guy a no till farmer???

[@Nicolasdu5]

Indiana Row Crop no

[@Digger927]

On less that 1% organic matter?!?! He's not growing crops, he's shaping chemical into something that looks like a crop with irrigation. I've yet to see any footage of the actual crops that supposedly broke these records.

[@rn-wilx3952]

He already said this many many times he is dumping chemicals in his land plain and simple.

[@farminginmexico6497]

He's probably paid to lie

[@michaelhancock937]

Sehr Gut , I can assure you that he isn't. I live not far from him, he knows what he is doing. But it's probably easier for you to say he's being compensated than to believe him.

[@MrAyybee2cold]

Michael Hancock it's also amazing to still hear people ask should we up the fertility on beans? Lol

[@samuelmatthews4377]

I dont think it's that serious 😂
