Guest Speaker

Alex Harrell, World Record Holder for Soybean Yields

Alex Harrell is a southwest Georgia farmer known for pushing the limits of productivity. In 2024, he shattered his own soybean world record with 218.2856 bu/ac, following his historic 2023 mark of 206.7997 bu/ac, the first time a grower topped 200.
