At the AgX Booth in Denver we chatted with some recent winners of the NCGA High Yield Contest to unpack what it truly takes to push corn yields to the limit. We learn about their farm background, what motivated them to enter the contest, and how their winning crop compared to their usual yields.

They walk us through their hybrid selection, fertility program, and how they incorporated biologicals, foliar feeds, and plant growth regulators to unlock every ounce of potential in the field. From variable-rate planting and precision nutrient applications to scouting techniques and drone use, this grower blends old-school effort with new-school tech.

We also hear the lessons they’ve learned—the mistakes made, key takeaways, and small tweaks that can help any farmer boost their productivity. And of course, we explore the competitive edge: how intense the contest is, what it feels like to win, and what comes next in the pursuit of even bigger yields.
