“Getting involved in the NCGA National Corn Yield Contest simply makes you a better farmer. Through the contest, I’m also encouraged to try new things on my farm to figure out what really work, which in turn helps my operation become more profitable."
“The NCGA National Corn Yield Contest has turned out to be a great way to learn from other farmers. I’ve learned how to work with the corn crop and strengthen management practices. It motivates me to compete against myself year after year to improve and raise higher yields.”
