Follow his journey to high yielding corn by watching this clip. Journey to 300: This year, Beck’s is following the journey of seven innovative farmers from across the Midwest as they strive to reach 300 Bu./A. As each farmer seeks to achieve higher yields than ever before, they’ve implemented different management practices, including varied planting populations, nitrogen adjustments, and herbicide regimens. Weekly videos will document their plans, challenges and learning experiences. At harvest, we look forward to measuring the impacts of their agronomic decisions and helping them improve for the next growing season. “Farming is not just about planting a seed or raising a crop, it’s about measuring what you do, learning from your experience and then doing something different to improve your operation.” – Scott Beck
