DEKALB® and Asgrow® Growers Make Strong Showing in 2007 NCGA Yield Contest

Congratulations to the 113 ® and ® corn growers who took home an award at the 2007 NCGA Yield Contest. In all, there were 103 DEKALB winners and 10 Asgrow winners, with seven DEKALB winners taking national prizes. Thirty-six of these growers placed first at their state level.

A complete list of all of DEKALB and Asgrow national and first place 2007 NCGA Yield Contest winners can be viewed by clicking here.

More farmers are planting more DEKALB. And with that, we are seeing much stronger performance by DEKALB in the NCGA Yield Contest. In 2006, there were a total of 91 DEKALB and Asgrow winners, compared to 113 this year. Last year Asgrow and DEKALB earned two national wins compared to seven national wins this year.

All national and first-place state winners were eligible for a trip for two to this year's Commodity Classic. This year’s Commodity Classic was February 28-March 1, 2008, in Nashville, Tennessee. DEKALB and Asgrow hosted a special reception and awards presentation to honor all DEKALB and Asgrow winners.

DEKALB will again pay for all NCGA Yield Contest entry fees and NCGA membership fees or renewals when a DEKALB contest entry is submitted. For more information on the 2008 NCGA Yield Contest, please click on the links below.

We thank all of the farmers who support DEKALB and Asgrow and look forward to sharing success in 2008.
