Growers
The Yield Challenge is all about discovering and breaking down yield barriers. Growers from across all nine Crop Reporting Districts will explore, strategize and test new methods and products that help reach higher levels of yield and profit potential.
What do we hope to gain?
- Reveal management practices necessary to maximize soybean yields
- Encourage the use of new crop management strategies and technologies
- Provide useful data to researchers, agribusinesses and growers for improving yield potential
- Promote profitable and sustainable agricultural practices
Who can participate?
Any grower (owner-operator, tenant, or tenant-landlord team) who produces soybeans within Illinois state boundaries is eligible. Growers can compete as teams (sponsored or non-sponsored) and as individuals.
What do I get for participating?
- Soil testing for nutrients in both plots
- Plant tissue testing for nutrients in both plots
- Soil analyses for Soybean Cyst Nematode egg counts and SCN Type testing
- Protein and oil analyses of grain samples taken from both harvested plots
- Each district will have a 1st and 2nd place award of $500 and $250, respectively.
