2009 New York Corn Growers Association Yield Contest Winners
If you don’t want to enter into the National contest, why not enter
the contest sponsored by the New York Corn Grower Association. There were
45 yield entries submitted this year spread out over 12 counties. This
is a fun contest and I know of a lot of great yields that could have been
entered this year! The winners of each region were recognized at this
year’s NY Corn Expo in Syracuse on January 28th.
