Georgia Farmer Sets New State Corn Yield Record

Рет қаралды 471,042

Күн бұрын

Corn producers in Georgia are busy harvesting the crop right now, and if their irrigation pivots remained functional, they are probably having pretty good results. The Monitor's Mark Wildman visited one south Georgia corn grower whose crop not only did pretty well, but he set a new state record in yields.

This guy's yields are fantastic. I remember 20 or so years ago when I was selling John Deere parts that good crops included 2 bale cotton, 2 ton peanuts and 200 bushels per acre corn were considered exceptional. Keep up the good work!

ThisnThatPackRat I guess my comment didn't set well with you. Hope you have yields that comparable to what you are applying. I wasn't meaning to upset anyone. It was just an observation. I hope you have great results!

ThisnThatPackRat Thanks for the insight! No, I am not a farmer and don't have the stuff to gamble with the Lord over rain or the lack thereof. It was just a layman's formula back in the 80s to listen and try to decide whether my farm customers were having 'good' yields. We know who posted this vid and it couldn't be anything that would be too damning to a GA farmer. Mighty dry in East central GA right now and when I rode down to my campsite this morning I noticed every center pivot that I could see was pumping hard. The young man along with his Dad who manage my Uncle's Estate farm both said they would like to see 3/4 inches of rain because it covered all parts of the field and does a whole lot more good than 1 inch of pumped water. As far as nitrogen goes I hope their injection with a 'lay by' boom will use most of their nitrogen for the crop rather than turn into run off. There's a nice 8 acre pond that is the beneficiary of many liquids that run off of the pivot crops during rainy spells. . I was thinking nitrogen was one thing but are some of the other chemicals applied more dangerous to the pond and it's aquatic life? Pesticides and Round Up come to mind. Thanks again.

I have no problem believe this, our hybrids today have very high potential, if you have enough water at the right times, take care of your pests, weeds, and other diseases, use enough N P & K (not just use it, but make sure its available to your crop) at the right times, and provide that crop with the correct micronutrients when it needs them. It will be different for ever grower throughout the country, but its very possible. I know David Hula in Virginia last year grew some 4-500 bushel corn.

John. Taxes comes roughly to 42%. What makes it harder in South africa is our inflation rates, coupled to a 14% sales tax... Now sales tax you get back at the end of the season, but you need to pay it anyways. It is expensive to borrow money, even on equipment we pay 12.5% where I know in America you can get down to 0% on some brands. or 3% over a longer period. But we need to run new equipment and be on the cutting edge of technology to make that yeilds possible.

i'm sure he dumped the same amount of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer as other farmers who grow corn. ok he probaly dumped a little more fertiliser but only the amount that corn needs. his secret is water. his corn is probably even healthier than some corn which didn't grow in such ideal conditions.

He's constantly pulling tissue samples, water only when you need to, variable rate fertilize, if it doesn't need it don't put it out there. You have to know your corn crop has what it needs, not hope or guess it does.

No, I'm not stupid. Pioneer HI-Bred corn seeds are GMO's, the brand name on it matters very little. When you dump huge amounts of chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers on monocultured land you destroy the soil and encourage pest problems. Also planting GMO's often contaminates neighboring farms which cuases all kinds of problems for farmers (i.e. ignorant fools) like me. That's not being a "steward of the land", that's being a maruader of the land for short term profits.
