The North Carolina Soybean Yield Contest has a long history of recognizing top producers in the state and sharing information about which Best Management Practices may help other growers increase yields. This contest is sponsored by the North Carolina Soybean Producers Association but administered by NC State Soybean Extension.

Traditionally there have been two categories for entry, a High Yield Contest and a Most Efficient Contest, but these categories are changing for the 2019 season. The category and prize structure is being updated based on feedback from growers across the state.

We hope these changes will garner more interest in the contest, encourage more individuals to submit entries, help us better align with other state soybean contests, and allow us to award more producers for their hard work.

The big change for 2019 is the Maximum Efficiency Contest will be eliminated. Instead, an Irrigated and Non-Irrigated division will be introduced. The categories and prize structure are outlined in the graph below.
