World Record Soybeans: 206.7 BPA?! + John Deere Trivia | Shark Farmer TV on RFDTV S11 EP9

Who’s growing the most soybeans — and who’s growing them the best? In this episode of Shark Farmer TV (RFD-TV), Rob dives into the world of high-yield farming with Alex Harrell, a world record soybean yield holder who’s rewriting what farmers think is possible with modern agronomy, data, and management. The episode kicks off with the kind of funny farm videos Shark Farmer fans love—real-life “only on the farm” moments that make you laugh and wince. There’s a wild manure drag hose / injector situation (you learn fast why a whipping hose is bad enough with water… and way worse with manure), plus Rob’s classic commentary on rural life, small-town rules, and farm equipment mishaps that feel very relatable if you’ve ever worked around tractors, planters, or livestock nutrients. Then it’s time for the Machinery Clip of the Week presented by John Deere, featuring serious power and a scenario that sparks the timeless debate: who’s at fault—combine operator or grain cart driver? If you’re into John Deere, harvest videos, and machinery moments that make farmers say “Ope…,” this segment is pure gold. From there, the show heads to Ag PhD Field Days near Baltic, South Dakota, where Rob sets up ag trivia—putting farmers head-to-head with questions on livestock, crops, and farm facts. It’s hilarious, competitive, and exactly the kind of “farm show meets street interview” vibe that keeps the episode moving. Between baby goats (“kid”), soybeans trivia, and John Deere shout-outs, it’s a fun reminder that farmers know a lot… but nobody’s perfect under pressure. The heart of the episode is the sit-down with Alex Harrell, a second-generation farmer from southwest Georgia who grows wheat, corn, and soybeans—and who achieved a world record soybean yield of 206.7 bushels per acre (with talk of even higher results in other runs). Rob asks the questions every corn and soybean grower wants answered: Is chasing record yields profitable across an entire farm? (Alex is clear: no—it’s about learning what works.) What’s the real goal? (Raise the farm average while protecting ROI.) What matters most? Return on investment, not bragging rights. What should farmers focus on to improve soybean yields? Better seed placement/spacing and strong planter performance, then building practices that pay. Alex explains how they use test fields to push yield limits, then pull the practices that prove profitable (the “spend $1 to make $3 back” mindset). He talks high-yield corn progress too—years of learning, milestones like cracking 300-bushel corn, then eventually breaking 400—and how that same discipline translated into soybeans. The conversation gets real as Alex shares what the record changed: travel, speaking, relationships with growers, and the best part—helping other farmers improve. He’s not trying to be remembered as “200-bushel soybean guy.” He wants to be known for moving farmers forward—getting them out of ruts and helping them think differently. The episode wraps with the bigger message Shark Farmer TV always delivers: real farmers, real agriculture, real conversations—with humor, machinery, crops, and the people behind the work. If you love John Deere, soybeans, corn, farm life, funny farm videos, and hearing directly from producers who are pushing boundaries, this one is absolutely worth watching and sharing. #SharkFarmerTV #RFDTV #JohnDeere #Soybeans #Farming #FarmHumor #FunnyFarmVideos #AgPhDFieldDay #Harvest #Combine #Planter #CornAndSoybeans #Agriculture #FarmLife #Farmers #CropYield #HighYieldFarming #SoybeanYield #RuralAmerica #AgTrivia
