Georgia farmer Randy Dowdy just harvested the highest soybean yield in Georgia history. Dowdy regularly lands at the top of the heap for corn yield, but also has a soybean crop worth bragging about this year.

Dowdy’s soybeans yielded an astonishing 110.66 bushels per acre, crushing the previous record of approximately 82 bushels per acre, according to retired University of Georgia extension agronomist John Woodruff.

He is the first person in the world — on record — to achieve both 400-plus bushels of corn and 100-plus bushels of soybeans per acre in the same year.

For his award-winning soybean crop, Dowdy used Southern States Cooperative’s SS 4917N R2 seeds, a maturity soybean with very good stress tolerance that does well in places where soybean cyst nematode is a problem.
