In this episode of Breaking Barriers with R&D, Randy Dowdy and David Hula dive into the critical steps farmers must take to push boundaries in modern agriculture. Renowned for their record-breaking corn and soybean yields, the duo shifts the spotlight to their true mission—driving profit on every acre through data-driven, disciplined farming.
This week, they unpack the essentials of assessing yield potential, including tissue sampling and field blueprints, and explore how to adapt fundamentals in the face of volatile weather. They share success stories from farms in Georgia to Michigan, while also detailing unique challenges like sudden frosts and fawn-raising in wet weather. The conversation tackles the economic pressure of rising input costs, strategies for entering non-GMO markets, and underscores the value of community support and mental health in agriculture.
