Randy Dowdy is a first generation farmer. While he’s been farming for some time, he began growing corn in 2008. Since then, he’s pulled in at the top, or near the top, of several national corn yield contest categories. He’s continually and consistently increased his yield since 2011.
“I’m honored to be here and humbled by it and I’m thankful that people would come out for an historic day. … And it has been my great pleasure to work with a lot of the people associated with AgriGold,” Randy Dowdy said at a press event Monday. He touted uniformity, unison, and timeliness as reasons for his success.
Virginia farmer David Hula won the contest in 2015, hitting 532 bushels per acre.
