Iowa | These guys seem to find the camera when they want to. It's just strange to me that its like finding a picture of bigfoot in the wild to get them to post a video during harvest of one of their corn world records. In fact I would challenge Ag Talk to post it here if there is something out there that I've missed. In this day and age of camera's everywhere, I have yet to see an ear shot prior to harvest(NCGA started requiring this recently). Is a video from the combine cab that hard to produce? Watching 600 bu corn come in the combine head would get millions of views on youtube. Or even a drone shot with the whole process of harvesting their 1.25 acre contest entry.
These guys have made a lot of money on being able to claim a corn world record and we are to just go along and accept it. Trust but verify. You would think someone out here would have a happy accident where they could point to a small patch and say this is 600 bushel corn. I've never seen that, and I've walked a lot of corn and been in a lot of combines. For most of us, the very best spots in our fields where everything comes together is 300+ bushels. Are we to believe these yield contest guys have 100+lb test weight corn?
