2020 Kentucky Soybean Production Contest Winners

Dr. Carrie Knott, University of Kentucky

In such a turbulent year it is a real pleasure to announce all the records that were set in the 2020 soybean production contest!

First, the most entries that exceeded 100 bushels per acre were documented: nine!

Second, the greatest soybean oil concentration was documented: 26.71%.

Third, the contest had the greatest average yield for the full season entries since it began in 1980: 87.39 bushels per acre.

Finally, for the first time in contest history one operation won first place for both full season and double crop non-irrigated soybean yield: Goetz Brothers Farm.
