“Beyond what I ever thought possible.” Picture a corn field planted at 52,000 and 90–95% of stalks with twin ears. Sound almost too good to be true?
As a sixth-generation farmer in Wrightsville, Georgia, and two-time NCGA high-yield national winner, Ben Jackson has experienced his share of the highs and lows of farming. In 2025, that included the bittersweet effort of growing 550+ bu/A high-yield corn — only to have a sudden, devastating storm take it out.
Was it just a “lot of money and a lot of work gone”? Or was this a solid win and a lesson in resilience (and more specific prayers)?
Watch Ben’s story, his plans for 2026, and how TEVA’s custom fertility program has inspired him to redefine what’s possible for his yields.
