Title goes to a farmer in VA. Over 500, that's right over 530 bu per acre. That's over 14 ton
Last years record from GA was 503
 
That be some serious corn per acre!

I wonder what the fertilizer recommendation to get that yield was and what it cost?
 
I am sure they are not planting 90-100 day corn.
If we could have had warmer May and a wetter July in my area I am sure the average could have broke 225 and not the 183 for the county.
With all the field work done here this fall there is not much to do but run the planter here in the spring. I saw the tillage equipment run on my section 4 times and then the rock picker. Can't tell what was grown there now as all stover is worked in.
Scary if we did not get some late rain and now snow to help keep it from blowing.
