Alex Noll, a farmer whose operation has earned national recognition for both corn and wheat yields, shares how he achieved a remarkable 340.39 bu/acre corn yield and consistent top finishes in dryland wheat. Alex explains his crop rotation strategy—especially how following wheat can boost corn and soybean yields by 5–8% and grain sorghum by nearly 30 bu/acre in dry conditions—and how he balances contest-level ambition with economic reality.

Matt, another Kansas producer, joins the conversation to highlight the practical side of yield pursuit: evaluating inputs by “yield-per-dollar,” tracking field data, and using AgXplore tools to guide smarter investments.

Representing AgXplore, Jenna breaks down the agronomic science behind products like GroPak AI, Architech, Onward Max, and XR5 Sulfur, explaining how they enhance nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and root vigor in clear, farmer-friendly terms. She also discusses how AgXplore’s reps and data platforms help farmers evaluate ROI and build customized fertility programs tailored to their operations.

Together, the group explores:

When to invest and when to hold back—and how to make that call using real data.

How contest-level practices can inform everyday farming decisions without breaking the bank.

Balancing high yields with soil and biological health, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Planning for 2026, from refining rotations to leveraging field trials and digital tools for next season’s edge.

This episode is a blueprint for farmers looking to elevate their yield game—grounded in practical experience, data-driven decisions, and the support of agronomic partners who understand that profit isn’t just about bushels, it’s about balance.
