One of the nation’s top-yielding corn farmers says he’s just a student of the crop.
For 20 years, mid-Michigan farmer Don Stall has competed in the National Corn Growers Association Yield Contest with a goal of hitting 500 bushels. Despite the ebb and flow of drought and flooding conditions in 2021, he harvested 465.7 bushels on conventional irrigated land.
“Our crops never looked like they were stressed, they always looked like they were really healthy,” he says.
