A southeast Nebraska farmer has set a new yield record for dryland soybeans
Jimmy Frederick of Rulo, Nebraska had a non-irrigated yield of 148.8 bushels per acre on a five-acre area this fall.
The entire 204-acre field averaged better than 90 bushels per acre.
Record-setting yields are often associated with high levels of crop inputs, but Frederick takes the opposite approach. He says it starts with reduced population rates.
