Corn Yield Contests
Final Entry Deadline: August 14, 2024
Harvest Entry Deadline: November 30, 2024, recommendation to complete the entry within two weeks of harvest
Each year, the National Corn Growers Association sponsors a nationwide corn yield contest that also dual-enrolls participants into a South Dakota Corn Growers Association contest.
Growers can compete in various categories, using advanced production techniques and growing practices, state-of-the-art hybrids and their own special formulas. Winners receive national recognition as well as awards from sponsoring seed, input and crop protection companies.
This event which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, is a testament to the commitment of corn growers across the nation to improve yields with innovative practices. Participants are required to be SDCGA members and may not have refunded in the past year. A seed corn voucher program pays all entry and membership fees for these brands.
