Max Armstrong shares insights he’s gaining in his work with two top-yield corn producers – Randy Dowdy and David Hula. Hula talks about what it’s like to harvest a 500-plus bushel crop, but will there be a record-busting yield? Given the hot nights this year’s corn crop has faced, Hula shared with Max that it’s doubtful the yield contest winner for 2022 will top that 500 bushels per acre.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
