Congratulations to Nick Preissler from Aurora, Nebraska, who has won the inaugural Nitrogen Management Pilot Class in the 2023 National Corn Yield Contest. Preissler, who farms with his dad, grandpa, and uncle achieved an impressive 312.9688 bushels per acre while using 180 lbs or less of nitrogen. This accomplishment demonstrates how Nebraska farmers are at the forefront of sustainable agriculture, successfully balancing high yields with efficient input use. It exemplifies our mission to connect Nebraska's sustainably produced commodities with growing global-market demand. Looking ahead, Preissler is entering the nitrogen management class again in 2024. He plans to further refine his approach by reducing his base nitrogen rate and utilizing in-season monitoring to determine additional application needs. This strategy showcases the ongoing commitment to improvement and efficiency in Nebraska's agricultural sector. Preissler's success and continued innovation highlight Nebraska's position as a leader in sustainable, high-yield corn production, contributing to our state's agricultural prominence on the global stage. Farmers interested in the "J. nitrogen management class" for the nitrogen contest can register until Aug. 14th. The class is open for the first 100 corn producer registrants from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

When we began the Corn Belt Ports Initiative in the fall of 2019, there were zero U.S. Ports (listed and ranked on the annual U.S. Ports List) inside of the Corn Belt's lock and dam system (above L/D 26) between Metropolitan St. Louis and Chicago, and between Metropolitan St. Louis and St. Paul. We appreciate the Illinois Farm Bureau (and other organizations with like minds) legislatively championing more Rural U.S. Port options to get our farmer's agricultural products to global markets.
