Howard Hughes made the Spruce Goose fly and thus proved it could be done but didn't prove it practical to replicate. The yield is impressive but doesn't mean much in my mind unless its an average over at least a minimum of 160 acres. Anybody can do wonders on the choicest piece of ground of 2 acres or 1/100th of an acre or whatever he's doing. If he would raise a measly 300 bu/ac as a farm average on variable soils across 800 to 1,000 acres or more, then I'll start paying more attention.
Again, impressive and much to be learned from for future production but if we could all raise corn like that we would most likely drive the price/bushel down to $1.00/bu or less while tripling the cost of machinery, fertilizer, fuel and infrastructure to handle it all. Everything we gain by more bushels raised will be offset by more costs to raise it, harvest it and process it into something of value to consume. Or not. What do I know.
