Agronomics: Video: Breaking the Yield Barrier with Dan Arkels

This growing season we are following Dan Arkels, a LaSalle County farmer striving to reach 100 bushels per acre in ISA’s Yield Challenge contest.

Dan previously participated in the Yield Challenge, achieving a personal record of 80 bushels per acre in 2012. This year’s nearly ideal growing conditions on his farm near Peru, Ill., have Dan feeling confident the 100-bushel milestone is within his reach.

Watch this short video to learn about the preplanting applications, seed treatments and foliar fungicides Dan uses to keep his crops healthy throughout the growing season.
