Farm News: Corn Grower CashcommentsPosted: 08.10.2011 Great corn deserves recognition and the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association (WCGA) is recognizing top-yielding farmers across the state this growing season by offering cash prizes in a five-district corn-yield contest. Cash prizes are being offered of $500 for first place, $250 second place and $100 third place to farmers who enter yield contests hosted by county corn grower groups in the following organizations: Columbia County Corn Growers; Juneau/Adams/Marquette (JAM) Corn Growers; Dodge/Fond du Lac Corn Growers; Rock/Walworth/Jefferson Corn Growers. Wisconsin corn growers in all other parts of the state will compete against each other in a fifth category.
Entry in the state corn yield contests is free, but farmers must be current members of WCGA and only one entry per member will be accepted. A simple one-page entry form is available from University Extension agents in the participating counties or through the Wisconsin Corn Program Office. The entry form and WCGA membership forms are posted online at www.wicorn.org and must be filed with the WCGA office by September 1, to participate.
Yield verification at harvest for the contest must be supervised by either a county agent or a professional agricultural consultant and can be confirmed by using either a weigh wagon or truck scale. A harvest form must be submitted to be considered for a prize and will be sent to everyone submitting an entry form.
