2 Arkansas soybean farmers set yield records

McGEHEE, Ark. — Two Arkansas soybean farmers have broken state records for yield of their crops.

The Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service says Matt Miles of McGehee has become the first Arkansas grower to surpass 100 bushels per acre for two consecutive years. And David Bennett of Lake Village set the record with a yield of just more than 112 bushels per acre.

Miles harvested 100.6 bushels per acre last week after harvesting the then-record of 107.6 bushels per acre last year.

Bennett broke the total record by harvesting just more than 112 bushels per acre on Thursday.
