Breaking Yield Records: How Eric Reed the "Crop Critic" Farms for Profit

Eric Reed, also known as @TheCropCritic, a first-generation farmer from Tennessee. Eric shares his journey from farming with his wife’s family on their cotton farm to expanding his operation to 1,500 acres of cotton, corn, and soybeans across Tennessee and Alabama. We dive into his high-yield successes, including winning multiple National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) and state soybean contests—with some jaw-dropping numbers. Eric talks about the challenges and strategies of maximizing yields on a budget, working with both red and green equipment, and how family and tradition play a role in his farm’s story. We also discuss the Elora Cotton Gin, built by his wife’s grandfather in 1972, and how the family continues to run it today. Tune in to hear Eric’s insights on pushing yield limits, balancing farm life, and making the most of every acre.   Want Farm4Profit Merch?  Custom order your favorite items today!https://farmfocused.com/farm-4profit/ Don’t forget to like the podcast on all platforms and leave a review where ever you listen! Website: www.Farm4Profit.comShareable episode link: https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.comEmail address: [email protected]/Text: 515.207.9640Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSR8c1BrCjNDDI_Acku5XqwFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farm4profitllc Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Farm4ProfitLLC/
