Whether you’re chasing that 100-bushel mark or simply looking to fine-tune your field management, the 2026 Wisconsin Soybean Yield Contest is your chance to turn data into bragging rights. It’s more than just a competition; it’s an opportunity for you to benchmark your operation against the best in the state and swap strategies on everything from “planting green” systems to precision input management. With categories ranging from the New Contestant Award to divisional honors across all four Wisconsin regions, there’s a spot in the winner’s circle for every type of grower. Plus, let’s be honest—nothing beats the recognition of being honored at the Wisconsin Corn Soy Expo. So, if your operation has that “big bean energy” this year, make sure to get your entries in by the August 31, 2026 deadline. After all, you can’t win if you don’t enter, and you certainly can’t learn if you don’t lean into the challenge.
