A Conversation With Dryland Corn Yield Record-Breaker Eric Reed

On this edition of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Sound Agriculture, Elora, Tenn., native Eric Reed shares the keys to his high-yielding success.

“Our dirt is the kind they build racetracks on,” Eric Reed says.

Reed grows corn, soybeans and cotton on the Tennessee/Alabama border. Despite limited resources and soil that’s “as red as can be,” Reed increased his yields dramatically over a couple years, including a 100-bu./acre bump with corn.
