Cultivating Opportunities
For nearly a half century, NCGA’s National Corn Yield Contest has provided corn growers the opportunity to compete with their colleagues to grow the most corn per acre, helping feed and fuel the world. This has given participants not only the recognition they deserved, but the opportunity to learn from their peers.
Winners will receive national recognition in publications such as the NCYC Corn Yield Guide, as well as cash trips or other awards from participating sponsoring seed, chemical and crop protection companies.
While winners continue a well-deserved celebration of their 2010 corn yield contest victories, the National Corn Growers Association ramps up efforts to further modernize the contest in 2011. For 46 years, NCGA has monitored prevailing trends and new technologies that constantly change the face of corn farming. The upcoming contest will reflect these, as well as the growing popularity of the contest itself, through a fresh logo, improved software, new deadlines and restructured entry categories.
