Alex Harrell's Record Corn Yield

In 2024, Alex set a world record soybean yield of 218.3 bushels per acre, surpassing his previous record of 206.8 bu/ac from the year prior. These accomplishments highlighted a disciplined approach to nutrient management and precision applications.
In 2025, Alex added another milestone—this time in corn—by earning National Winner honors in the Conventional Irrigated category of the 2025 NCGA Yield Contest, achieving a corn yield of 416.8270 bu/ac.

Label SDS Brochure
Boron is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies. Without sufficient levels of boron, vegetative and reproductive growth, cell expansion, tissue growth and fertility may be impacted. Applying boron during the growing season ensures that crops have sufficient levels for optimal quality and yield.
David Hula's Record Corn Yield
Virginia grower David Hula remains a leader in high-yield corn production. In 2023, David set the world record for corn yield at 623.8 bushels per acre, a benchmark that continues to stand as one of the highest achievements in modern agriculture.
Continuing that legacy, David earned National Winner honors in the Strip, Min, Mulch, Ridge-Till Irrigated category of the 2025 NCGA Yield Contest, with a corn yield of 572.2589 bu/ac. His continued success reflects careful management, advanced agronomic practices, and a long-term focus on plant health and efficiency.
Product Highlights
For his 2023 record and across his operation, Hula used a suite of BRANDT’s technology-driven products, including:
BRANDT Smart K B

The programs highlight the products used by Alex Harrell and David Hula in their record-breaking yields for corn. However, every grower's needs are unique.
