COLFAX — Local farmer John Aeschliman earned a first-place state award in the 2022 National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) National Corn Yield Contest.
Aeschliman yielded 86.6 bushels per acre with DEKALB® DKC33-78RIB brand blend corn in the C:No-Till Non-Irrigated Class.
“Year after year, it’s amazing to see the hard work, research and innovation farmers put in throughout the season,” said Jamie Horton, DEKALB Brand Manager. “In such a challenging industry, we are proud to be the chosen partner to provide a portfolio of products with exclusive genetics for consistent, superior performance potential farmers trust to help them meet their goals.”
