Known for his record-breaking corn yields, Charles City, Va., farmer David Hula will explain his motivation, results and challenges transitioning to strip-till and where he plans to take the practice in the future at the 2020 National Strip-Tillage Conference.

In this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, we get a glimpse at some of the speakers and topics on tap for the 7th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference, coming up Aug. 6-7 in Omaha, Neb.

Charles City, Va., farmer Dave Hula, details his motivation and results of transitioning a portion of his corn acres in 2018 to strip-till and some of the early returns, including even emergence, seedbed preparation and yield increases.

In this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Topcon Agriculture, we share some strip-till perspective from two experienced farmers from the floor at this year’s Commodity Classic Show in San Antonio.

David Hula is no stranger to breaking yield records. The Virginia farmer has topped the NCGA National Corn Yield Contest five times since 2003 in the strip, min, mulch, ridge-till irrigated category. The previous world record of 542 bushels per acre, set by Hula in 2017, has been shattered by his 2019 yield of 616.1953 on ground he strip-tills with the SoilWarrior.

No-tiller David Hula broke the U.S. corn yield record at 532 bushels in the 2015 National corn Yield Contest, beating the 2014 record of 503.7 bushels per acre.
