Growers Invited to Take Part in the National Corn Yield Contest

Corn farmers who’d like to join a few thousand other farmers from across the country in a friendly competition are invited to enter the National Corn Yield Contest. The National Corn Growers Association says it’s a tradition that dates back more than 50 years and is a chance to grow knowledge and skills and have fun while doing it. “The farmers who enter the contest build a brighter farm future for America’s farm families,” says Lowell Neitzel, chair of the NCGA’s Member and Consumer Action Team. “Together, entrants generate a pool of collective knowledge and spark innovation.” He also says it’s a way to contribute to the advances of American farming. Farmers who enter by June 30 save with a special early-entry rate of $75. The contest remains open for entries through August 17. All forms are due by November 30, and the contest winners get announced on December 14.
