PCGA Announces Results Of
5-Acre Corn Club Contest
This year was one of the most difficult to grow high corn yields that we have had in many years
The year ranged from too cold and wet and then too hot and dry. Despite the weather, some club
members this year were able to produce some very high yields including two reports over 2100
bushels/acre. That critical rainfall in late July and August that most folks missed apparently made
the difference. As expected, our entries were down this year, but we still managed to record 67
entrants. Production practice trends were similar to previous years, but producers reported more
barren and down plants than usual Our club members have again demonstrated that high yields of
corn can be produced in an environmentally sound way
This is the first year we are back to a full complement of three-year awards for all of our classes
Winners in these classes represent the ability to produce high yields consistently
Many thanks are due to the extension agents and crop consultants who help collect the yield and
cultural information for the club. Also, many thanks are due to Mark Antic in the Department of
Crop and Soil Sciences for his diligent work in pulling this report together.
