Journey to 300 Bushel Corn Challenge - Allen Williams - Illinois Farmer - Video Three. Illinois farmer and Beck’s corn customer, Allen Williams worked closely with his Beck’s Seed Advisor to prepare for his Journey to 300 Bu./A. Watch this clip to hear how Allen’s crop turned out this year, what affected it the most and if Allen thinks he will hit the 300 Bu./A. mark for 2015!
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
