The National Corn Growers Association 2009 Corn Yield Guide, which highlights the results of the NCGA National Corn Yield Contest, is available online at www.ncga.com. This year, in addition to the details on all 525 contest winners, it includes detailed stories on the role of supervisors in the contest and the results of NCGA's 2009 farmer image survey.
NCGA Chairman Darrin Ihnen says the National Corn Yield Contest provides a glimpse at the practices and resultant yields that growers can expect to become the industry standard in the next decade. The National Corn Yield Contest is in its 46th year and remains NCGA's most popular program for members.
"We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of this year's winners and look forward to a future with even higher average yields that will ensure we can meet ever increasing demand," Ihnen said. "The contest provides growers with an opportunity to showcase their achievements while establishing innovative practices that benefit the industry as a whole."
