National Sorghum Producers will now begin accepting entries for the 2023 National Sorghum Yield Contest.
State and national winners get selected from contestants split into east and west regions for each division, which includes irrigated, dryland no-till, dryland tillage, and one overall winner for food grade. The entry deadline is Nov. 15, 2023.
A complete field of 10 or more continuous acres, planted in the sorghum seed variety named on the entry form, will be designated as the contest field. The contestants must harvest and report at least 1.5 contiguous acres.
“The competition motivates farmers and seed companies to explore innovative genetics and techniques for enhancing sorghum yields,” says NSP CEO Tim Lust. “Despite the drought of 2022, we saw excellent top-end yields in the contest from growers nationwide.”
To find the entry form, 2023 yield contest rules, and more information, interested sorghum producers can go to sorghumgrowers.com.
