Legendary Illinois corn farmer Herman Warsaw poses in a field with some of his record-breaking crop, circa 1985. He achieved a world record of 370 bushels per acre.
**What makes his story even more incredible is that when he and his family bought the farm in 1941, the damaged soil was only putting out around 38 bushels per acre. Through soil restoration and some highly creative techniques, he completely turned around the fields over the years and made history.** #history
