Excellent job on achieving such an amazingly high yield! Those high yields should definitely help over supply the market and keep prices down to good and cheap, where they should be. We people of the world need you farmer's to continue growing lots of cheap bowls of delicious yellow corn.
It has to be >1.25 acres skipping 3 passes if more than one pass is needed for 1.25. Then a recheck for the next >1.25 check with 2 NCGA approved witnesses. If this second check is lower, then it is the average. If the second is higher the second is the official. The harvest rules are on the contest site. ncga.com
I missed him jumping up and down. U showed him complaining about 230 bushel corn. Then say congrats on 542 record. Where is the footage of him combining the corn?!
I think they were probably lucky to film any of his corn or even spend time with him. That guy David Hula is a legend and super famous now. He breaks all the world records. I heard someone call him the King of Corn once.
i use www.agric.gov.ab.ca/app19/calc/crop/bushel2tonne.jsp 1 Hectare = 2.47 acre sop its 542.27 X 2.47=1339.40 Bushel per Hectare with is according to this site 34 ton.
How is this yield measured? 542.27 bushels means 13.774 metric tons per acre, so 34.03T per hectare. Is this only the corn kernel weight? Is this dry weight?
It is not dry weight. It is what corn weighs with 15.5 % standard moisture. The dry weight is 28.75 MT/Ha. + 5.25 MT moisture. To sell corn by dry weight would be too simple for most farmers and grains men to understand. We have to cling to tradition. In the contest the yield is lbs grain harvested * (100-moisture)/(100-15.5). I learned this in 10th grade Vocational Ag. The NCGA contest started using this concept about the year 2000 before they used a chart that was a stair-step result.
There is not much farm corn storage around here. In this country farms run 1 to 3 combines in a field so if each combine is harvesting 3,000 bu per hr., the on farm storage is overwhelmed when 8 semi trucks go to dumping. Our Coop has storage for 68 million bushels. They are equipped to dump in a few minutes, most farmers are busy harvesting.
What is his input cost per acre? U showed him spraying several times and using helicopter to spray! That's extremely expensive. Who cares if he made 542 if he didn't any more profile vs a guy with 400.
Have you actually done the math? I think you might be missing some numbers. Half of that yield makes good money, even with high cost inputs. Plus, I heard they only spray the competition stuff with the chopper. You gotta spend it to make it. #gobigorgohome
it's a common question. he went over his cost per bushel on his last world record with me on video here: th-cam.com/video/UWCLF0xzFho/w-d-xo.html haven't had a chance to go over this latest with him on video yet.
Please stop spraying and fertilizing with chemicals, killing life in the soil isn't helping you, your family and your family to come. Start thinking long term. Check out Gabe Brown an David Brant.
This corn is GMO corn. Only used for consumption in the US. Other countries do not allow it imported because of the residue of the heavy chemical application and the health issues associated with that.
Jack Palmer I’m sorry but this is a false statement. The entire world uses GMO plants and chemicals and there is nothing wrong with making more with less. GMOs are not harmful whatsoever. They only change the genetic structure of the plant in order to deal with conditions such as drought, Ect. These chemicals do not stay in the plant for long periods of time whatsoever. Without GMOs and chemicals, we would not be able to keep up with the demand for agricultural products
Griffin Farms The entire world does not use GMO ,a lot of countries will not even import them.Show me a long term INDEPENDENT study on the effects of gmo foods, say 30 years etc not just a 3 month study on rats and cows . GMO seeds were only produced so Monsanto etc could sell their own chemicals to spray on their own chemical resistant crops ie roundup ready soybeans for example ,you are locked into a system and you don't even realize it. Just check out who runs the FDA and passes all this shit ,half of them on the board are shareholders in these companies ! If the labeling laws got passed and people had a choice whether to buy GMO food it would be the end of it .Please do some study on the subject .
interman 77 You are illiterate toward this entire concept. People like you are going to eventually get these GMOs outlawed, and then you can watch people starve to death. Cause like I said beforehand, there is no way to supply enough food for the current population without the use of GMOs.
short pants short sleeve shirt handling toxic chems and not one PPE in sight. ahem!! hello OSHA- where are thou! come on people, face shield, rubber gloves rubber apron, high rubber boots minimum. possible respirator too.
i am just saying set the right example if you want everyone to watch! i don't care what it is, if it splashes in your eyes it won't end well. one trip to the emergency room pays for lots of PPE! and that is time not spent spraying during peak time. congrats on the outstanding yield!
Roger that. I understand what you're saying. I think they are sensitive to fact that people are watching...but from my perspective I prefer they just show what really happens -- with all of the warts. So people are getting the real deal -- the unvarnished truth is more relate-able and usually more a lot more interesting. p.s. all of this footage and the interviews were taken from the corn wars documentary that followed five growers who entered crops in the the 2017 NCGA yield contest.
Awesome congratulations

You won't be eating this corn in a bowl. It's field corn...for ethanol or animal feed
Well done David. Thank you.
I would like to see the actual plants producing that yield..
I missed the number of acres that the yield was 542.27 bushels.
thanks for this information.

What do you think about the planter a striptill together
I want to see plants with the naked ears to see what 542 bu looks like, I’ve grown 300 before but I can’t visualize 542

Swood Media You make it sound like he has paparazzi following him around.......OMG! It's David Hula! *faints
Lol at being disappointed with “mid 300 bushel corn”
Ok just did the conversion to hectare and ton this is a 34 ton per hectare harvest.
I did the same conversion, and i don't know if the calculations are good but that seems impossible
i use www.agric.gov.ab.ca/app19/calc/crop/bushel2tonne.jsp 1 Hectare = 2.47 acre sop its 542.27 X 2.47=1339.40 Bushel per Hectare with is according to this site 34 ton.
I thought the bushels are not correct, not the equation. Don't you think that this is a little bit too much?
it seems like "too much" because it's a new world record.
Do you striptill
in my cantry with tractor for 7000 eura end 300 kg fertilizer ,14500 kg corn per hectar
How much does a bushel weigh in kilos?
Around 25 kilos give or take.
How is this yield measured? 542.27 bushels means 13.774 metric tons per acre, so 34.03T per hectare. Is this only the corn kernel weight? Is this dry weight?
shelled kernels only, dry weight. 15.5% moisture.
It is not dry weight. It is what corn weighs with 15.5 % standard moisture. The dry weight is 28.75 MT/Ha. + 5.25 MT moisture. To sell corn by dry weight would be too simple for most farmers and grains men to understand. We have to cling to tradition.

Not a lot of grain storage for all of that grain and corn on corn yielding that? Plus if you don't calibrate correctly your yields will be off ha

I knew the guy with the John Deere equipment would win. You could tell he was the smartest, by his equipment choice.

I like this video. But as you already know. With rain their nothing going to grow

i guess enough of anything could be considered toxic. serious question: would you wear a respirator to handle compost tea? humic acids?
