Corn Yield Contest

Corn Yield Contests

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 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.

2025 Contest Open May 15 - August 13
