2025 Yield Contest Winners Announced
18 December 2025, Texas: The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) is excited to announce the winners of the 2025 Yield Contest. With growing conditions that led to a projected record corn crop, this year’s participants delivered impressive yields, once again showcasing the ingenuity and resilience that define U.S. agriculture.
In its 61st year, the Yield Contest saw nearly 7,800 entries from farmers in 47 states. Entrants across the 10 production categories had verified yields averaging 269 bushels per acre. The highest yield for the year came out of Charles City, Virginia – 572.2589 bushels per acre in Class H (strip-till irrigated) for David Hula.
“The Yield Contest is really about finding out what this crop is capable of,” said Ohio grower and NCGA President Jed Bower. “And as corn farmers, we get to show what we’re made of, too. It challenges participants to find innovative ways to succeed and contribute to decades of agronomic data that prove that American farmers are great at what we do.”
The 30 national and 567 state winners will be honored by NCGA at Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas, February 25 – 27, 2026.
